Chapter 76 Enter
Another hour later.

The examiner for the second exam finally arrived.

Suddenly, the scene became quiet.

Qingming also woke up from his training.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Tanigawa Maki, and I'm your next examiner."

In front of everyone, the Konoha Jonin said this.

After that, he pointed to the Death Forest behind him and said, "I believe you already know that your second exam will be held here. Next, I will introduce this place to you."

Then he gave a brief account of the situation in the Death Forest.

After listening to his narration, everyone present couldn't help but take a deep breath.

There is no other reason. In the other party's words, this place is too dangerous.

Before everyone could recover, Tanigawa Maki took out a stack of "consent forms" from his arms and said to himself: "In view of the danger of the exam, all candidates must sign the "consent form" and be responsible for their own lives."

As he said that, he handed the 'Consent Form' in his hand to a Genin at the front, signaling him to pass it on.

After everyone received the "consent form", Tanigawa Maki saw that some people looked hesitant, and suddenly changed the subject and said, "Of course, if you are afraid, you don't have to sign it."

However, before everyone could be happy, he continued, "However, if that happens, it will be considered as a waiver, and you won't have to take the next exam."

When everyone heard this, they immediately lost interest.

They come here to take the exam. If they can't take the exam, why come here?
Qing Ming took the "Consent Form" and glanced at it.

It contained some words like "I volunteer to participate in this Chunin Exam" and "I will bear all the consequences if any accidents occur" etc. It was not much different from the pre-exam commitment letter in my previous life.

Qing Ming didn't hesitate for long. After taking a quick look, he signed his name.

Ten minutes later, all sixty people in the field signed the "consent form" one after another, and no one gave up because of the danger.

After collecting all the "consent forms", Tanigawa Maki nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "Next, I will formally introduce the rules of the second exam to you."

As he spoke, he took out two scrolls, one with "Heaven" written on it and the other with "Earth" written on it, and showed them to everyone.

"What is this?" someone asked.

"The Book of Heaven and the Book of Earth."

Tanigawa Maki didn't keep anyone in suspense and gave the answer right away, then continued: "Next, you will fight around them."

"Around them?"

Someone looked at the scroll in Tanigawa Maki's hand and expressed his confusion.

"Not bad!"

Tanigawa Maki replied, then put away the scroll and said, "There are sixty of you in total, and each of you will get a scroll, thirty of you will get the 'Book of Heaven', and the other thirty will get the 'Book of Earth'.

The condition for passing the exam is that any team that holds the two scrolls of 'Book of Heaven' and 'Book of Earth' and reaches the central tower will pass."

Before Tanigawa Maki could finish his words, someone interrupted him and said, "Teacher, some of our teams have more people, some have fewer people, and even worse, some teams only have one person. Isn't this unfair?"

"fair?"

Tanigawa Maki's expression turned serious, and he said in a cold voice: "Will the enemy be fair to you on the battlefield?"

"Yeah, will the enemy be fair?"

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but recall what happened on the battlefield and stopped talking.

At this time, Tanigawa Maki said again: "What's more, if you feel that you are outnumbered, you can choose to form an alliance. There are plenty of scrolls anyway, so why not just grab more?"

Hearing this, many people's eyes lit up, especially those who were alone, and they had already begun to look for allies.

Only Qingming remained unmoved. First, he was confident that he could obtain the scroll he wanted even if he was alone, and second, this alliance was not very reliable.

With fewer people, we may not be able to beat those teams with good cooperation.

If there are too many people, they may start fighting among themselves.

Therefore, Qingming is not optimistic about this model.

But it is undeniable that having one scroll per person, rather than one per team, does greatly increase the chances of passing the level.

"It seems that the difficulty of this Chunin Exam has indeed been reduced a bit."

Qingming thought so in his heart.

Afterwards, Maki Tanigawa talked about the failure situation again.

One is that the team that fails to reach the central tower within the exam time limit, which is five days, will be eliminated.

The second is the elimination of teams due to reduction in members or loss of the ability to continue fighting.

In addition, he emphasized at the end that no one was allowed to peek at the contents of the scroll before arriving at the central tower.

As for the consequences of peeking.
He didn't say anything and no one asked.

But Qingming knew that there was a 'hypnosis spell' sealed on it. Once it was opened, he would be caught and fall into a coma until the end of the exam.

"I wonder if my Sharingan can handle it? How about giving it a try?"

This thought suddenly popped up in Qingming's mind, but he quickly suppressed it. It is better not to do such suicidal things if possible.

Everything is ready and the second exam officially begins.

The sixty people in the field were divided into thirty-two teams, each entering through an iron gate and beginning a five-day survival test.

······
As soon as he stepped into the Forest of Death, Qingming felt inexplicably depressed.

He also knew the source of this feeling, which was that the surrounding environment was too dim.

At this time, although it was almost evening, the sun had not yet set and it was still bright outside.

But when we got here, there were only branches and green leaves above our heads, and apart from sporadic rays of light, we couldn't see the sun at all.

Coupled with the damp and cold environment, and the occasional roar of beasts in the distance, it naturally gives people an extremely depressing feeling.

Fortunately, Qingming was already accustomed to living in harsh environments, so he quickly dispelled this negative emotion.

After identifying the direction, Qingming suddenly opened his Sharingan and ran towards the nearest entrance at an extremely fast speed.

Perhaps because he was on the outskirts of the forest, he did not encounter any danger along the way.

In just a few minutes, Qingming arrived at the entrance closest to him.

After a careful inspection, Qing Ming luckily found traces of someone having passed by not long ago.

The Death Forest is almost circular, with a diameter of twenty kilometers, so the circumference is sixty kilometers.

There are forty-four entrances on this sixty-kilometer-long barbed wire fence, but they have only thirty-two teams in total.

Therefore, before arriving, Qingming had no idea whether anyone had entered this entrance.

Now it seems that his luck is good, as he just happened to encounter that 70% probability.

With the help of the powerful insight of the Sharingan, Qingming quickly determined the number of people in the team and their direction of travel - three people, northwest.

Qing Ming did not hesitate at all and immediately followed the trail left by the other party.
