Chapter 35 The turbulent Chunin Exam!

Forest of Death!

It is an important material warehouse in Konoha Village.

It is filled with ninja beasts, medicinal herbs, and other precious materials.

Moreover, the natural energy is richer than other places, so it is definitely a Feng Shui treasure land.

So people are not allowed to enter normally.

However, there is an exception during the Joint Chunin Exam, where it can be used as an examination venue.

welfare!

Fighting is extremely stimulating to the mind and body, especially in such a special place.

Therefore, it is easy for one's strength to enter a period of improvement after the Chunin Exam.

The corpses and flesh of the ninjas are also the best "nutrients" for the Death Forest.

It’s a total win-win!
Won Ma.

The Chunin Exam is like a sacrificial ceremony, and every time it brings something to the Death Forest. It is no wonder that Konoha is used as an examination venue.

Teams of ninja gathered outside the iron fence at the edge of the forest.

A large number of examiners were also at the entrance.

Don't ever think that the defense measure is this layer of barbed wire.

These are only used to guard against ordinary people. The real means of defense are barriers and traps.

If you don't know these, even a jonin won't be able to sneak into the Death Forest easily.

On a high platform at the edge of the entrance.

A large number of examiners stood on it, looking down at the candidates gathering below.

"Everyone, welcome to hell!"

"The following examination will definitely be something you will never forget!"

"The rules of this exam are very simple. There are tokens scattered throughout the Death Forest. If you pick up one and enter the central tower, you will pass!"

"Now, grab the flares and get started!"

Yutarai Shixiao had people put out the flares for the candidates to pick up.

Flare!
After using it, an examiner will come to rescue you, but it also means losing the qualification to take the exam.

Of course, the prerequisite is that you can use flares and wait for rescue.

The assessment rules at this time are different from those in the future peacetime period and are more cruel and direct.

You know, there are a lot of hunters hidden among the candidates.

But even though they knew this, they didn't take more stringent protective measures for the candidates. It can only be said that the ninja world is indeed extremely cruel.

Those who can survive in this situation are the geniuses the village needs. If they can't survive, it doesn't matter.
The Ninja World version of the 'chicken game'.

It's still a game, but it's a game where life is at stake.

"What's over there?"

Yamama Koji noticed that Dohei was always looking at the candidates and examiners around him, as if he was very concerned.

"No, it's nothing, let's go!"

Tang Ping shook his head.

Because he wanted to see if there were any other "acquaintances".

As a result, he actually recognized one.

Ye Cang!

The pretty young lady who showed off her beautiful back and competed with Rasa for the position of the Fourth Kazekage, but ended up being killed.

The other person's looks far exceed those in anime!
If it weren't for the special attire, he would hardly recognize the other person.

The real ninja world looks completely different from the anime, but it is somewhat similar, so Dou Ping was unable to quickly recognize some of the existences in his memory.

'really interesting!'

With the emotions of "witnessing history" and "the paper man becoming a real person", Tang Ping picked up the flare and walked towards the Death Forest.

There are many entrances, enough for contestants to enter from different entrances.

And he chose an entrance where no one was.

But who knew that a lot of people would suddenly follow behind.

Coming towards them.

"Plan A!"

Dou Ping said to his two teammates.

They had discussed various response plans since yesterday, so it was impossible for them not to make preparations.

They don't know the details of the assessment.

However, the Genin of the three major ninja villages all know the general content of the exam, so they can naturally prepare in advance.

Kakashi and Yamama Koji nodded to show that they had received it. Then the three of them slowly passed through the entrance, then suddenly accelerated forward and disappeared into the woods.

"Come on!"

The candidates following behind seemed to be stimulated and accelerated.

"Check the candidates' qualifications!"

However, among the examiners guarding the entrance, a Konoha examiner spoke coldly, blocking these people.

joke!

This is Konoha.

No matter how generous you are, you can't just watch them hunt down the descendants of the village without doing anything to help, right?

And it is completely reasonable to check the qualifications of candidates.

Didn't you see that the Sand Ninja and Rock Ninja examiners who were mixed in with the examiners didn't speak?

No one would stop such a favor.

Because if the candidates were from their ninja village, they would do the same.

Examination rules must indeed be fair.

But as the organizer, we do not really have no home advantage at all.

It's unrealistic to be completely fair like in anime.

Just like the five permanent members of Blue Star, would they talk about "absolute fairness" with other forces?

It's good enough to give you a 'relatively fair' environment, why do you need a bicycle?

The real ninja world is not just about 'passion', 'bonds', 'hard work', etc. It is a completely dark and cruel version.

That's why there's the line 'Fairy tales are all lies'.

the other side!
Inside the tower in the center of the Death Forest.

High-ranking officials of the ninja village, nobles, and wealthy merchants filled a space that was larger than a basketball stadium.

Multiple monitors located in the center allow people to see every move happening in various parts of the Death Forest.

(The technology in the ninja world is divided. There are surveillance and computers... but the other side is at the level of the Warring States period where people can't even eat!)

Sitting in the main seats were three figures wearing hats with the words "Wind", "Rock" and "Fire" and long robes.

The shortest of the three Kage, the one with a red nose, Iwagakure, also known as Ōnoki, spoke first.

"Konoha is really blessed by nature, constantly nurturing geniuses, unlike us in the Hidden Rock Village who don't even have a genius. This really makes me jealous."

As soon as he opened his mouth, he was like an old hermaphrodite.

It directly implies that Konoha is able to continuously breed geniuses entirely because of its unique environment, and it also implies that Iwagakure is weak.

If it was just him and Sarutobi Hiruzen, he might have just said it casually.

But there are so many people at the scene, and Fengying is also here. It would not be surprising if he could arouse greed and jealousy in other people's hearts, which might bring unexpected gains.

"That's right. It is precisely because of the existence of these geniuses that Konoha can remain safe and sound amidst countless covetousness!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen took over the conversation.

And it shows that Konoha is not afraid of any pretenders at all.

It can only be said that although the verbal confrontation between Kage is not a clash of ninjutsu, the degree of danger is no less.

"Really? I really hope these geniuses can continue to protect Konoha!"

The Third Kazekage next to him also interjected.

It looks like a compliment, but in fact it is undisguised malice.

Who made the Wind Country so poor? And their neighbor is the "rich family" of the Fire Country, so they will definitely grab it if there is a chance.

Anyway, we only have one life left, so if we can rob it, we'll make a profit. If we can't rob it, we can also consume a large number of ninjas to reduce the burden on the village.

"Under the illumination of the Will of Fire, Konoha Ninjas never disappoint. Let's watch the game!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen sensed that the other two Kages might have some tacit understanding, so he gestured to watch the game.

"Yeah, watch the game."

"I hope there are no 'accidents' and everything goes well."

"Maybe there will be some surprises."

...

After Rock Shadow and Wind Shadow exchanged a few words, they both shut up.

Sarutobi Hiruzen appeared calm on the surface, but he had already informed the Anbu using secret codes to ask them to take action.

Because the two shadows were almost hinting to him that someone was going to cause trouble.

then.

Although Konoha seems lively on the surface, undercurrents are beginning to surge.

However, everyone's attention was focused on the second round of the Chunin Exam and no one noticed this.
