Konoha: I, Naruto, will kill everyone here today.

After all, Kabuto and his two teammates were now ninjas of Konoha, so it was a bit unclear to appear in the guest house of other ninja villages.

Therefore, only Kabuto came alone to avoid suspicion caused by too many people.

"Lord Orochimaru, there are many variables this time, so we still need to be careful."

Kabuto advised from the side.

"Furthermore, according to my subordinates' observations, we are probably not the only ones who want to take action against Naruto."

Orochimaru had expected this.

"This is normal. After the other Kages of Ninja Village saw Naruto's excellence, they naturally could not let Naruto grow up like this."

"I'm sure there will be some Jonin sneaking into the candidates to secretly take advantage of tomorrow's practical exam."

"This is also our opportunity. After all, Naruto is very vigilant. If no one else attracts Naruto's attention, it will be difficult for us to succeed."

Pou lowered his head and said.

"It seems everything is according to Lord Orochimaru's plan."

Orochimaru smiled and said.

"I can't wait."

"I'm really looking forward to tomorrow!"

In the room, only Orochimaru's gloomy laughter remained.

……

After a night's rest, the candidates' spirits were almost restored.

Soon, the candidates who passed the first exam were taken to the entrance of the second exam.

That is, the forest of death.

The examiner is surprisingly Anko Mitarashi!

Anko's training under Naruto can be said to be the most active one in order to get the position of examiner this time.

Looking at the many candidates, Hong Dou couldn't help but frown.

“I didn’t expect there would be so many people left.”

"But it doesn't matter. After the second test, the number of people will definitely drop significantly."

Hongdou is very confident about this.

"Next, I'm going to explain the rules of this exam."

"Due to the number of people, there are a total of 10 entrances opened this time. One team will enter every 5 minutes, and those with good scores will be given priority."

"I think you should know what this means."

"As for what is the purpose of your going in? That's it!"

As he said that, two more scrolls appeared in Anko's hand.

One scroll has the word "sky" written on it, and the other has the word "earth" written on it.

"The team that enters will be randomly assigned one of the two scrolls."

"As long as you collect two different scrolls and arrive at the designated place, the exam is completed."

"You can use any means to snatch other people's scrolls, but whether the scrolls in other people's hands are different from what you have, you need to verify it yourself."

"You are not allowed to open the scroll without authorization during the exam, otherwise you will immediately lose your qualification to take the exam."

"The exam lasts for seven days. Within seven days, you need to collect two scrolls and then arrive at the abandoned sentry tower in the center of the forest."

"Do you have any objections? If not, the exam starts now!"

"Whoever's name is called, come forward and receive your scroll."

Anko took out the list she had prepared and called out the most interesting name first.

"Uzumaki Naruto, Uchiha Sasuke, Haruno Sakura!"

"Go over there and get the scroll!"

Anko pointed to a small tent at the entrance.

There are staff in the tent who distribute scrolls.

"It seems this is a team battle."

Naruto led the way.

"I hope you can cheer up and don't be careless."

"cut!"

Sasuke curled his lips and said with disdain.

"With these crooked melons and cracked dates, how can they be my opponent?"

"Don't worry, you don't need to take action. I will deal with all the enemies I encounter!"

Sakura's face was filled with excitement.

"I didn't expect to be able to be paired with Naruto-kun. I'm so lucky!"

After saying that, Sakura looked back at Ino who was biting her handkerchief unwillingly, sticking out her tongue and making faces, which made Ino jump in anger.

The three of them took the scroll and walked into the forest.

"We are the first to come in. Do you want to set up some traps?"

Sakura suggested.

"After all, it's our advantage to get in first."

"Humph!"

Sasuke snorted and said disdainfully.

"How could I, the noble Sasuke Uchiha, use such despicable methods?"

"Just wait and see, no matter who it is, I will defeat you, Naruto!"

Naruto smiled, but didn't answer.

Because Naruto was very doubtful that anyone would be able to meet them.

After all, this forest is now full of dangers and is a veritable forest of death.

……

When the candidates received scrolls from the ten entrances one after another and entered.

In the forest of death, a group of people are also preparing to go.

These people wore animal masks and black outfits and looked like ANBU.

But in fact, they are the root members arranged by Danzo.

"Once you meet a candidate, you must not show mercy."

The leader of the group glanced at the team members coldly.

"Our mission is to reduce the number of candidates, even if we kill them, it doesn't matter."

"Brace yourselves, the candidates will be coming in soon."

"understand!"

The Roots members responded in unison.

But as soon as he finished speaking, the group of ANBU immediately turned around on guard and looked at a dozen figures who suddenly appeared on the branch of a tree not far behind them.

These people also wore animal masks and were obviously genuine Anbu.

Now, there is one team on the ground and another team on the branches.

The two teams stared wide-eyed.

The scene fell into silence.

what happened?

Captain Gen was stunned.

It's obviously not time for the candidates to come in yet.

Where did these people come from?

And he also wears an ANBU mask, etc?Are these people ANBU?

No, not necessarily, maybe it’s the enemy in disguise!

The captain of the root army immediately became alert.

After a brief silence.

It was the ANBU captain who spoke first.

"who are you?"

The ANBU captain was confused.

I haven’t heard that there are people from other teams besides us?

What exactly is going on?Could it be that Lord Hokage was worried, so he added another team?

People at the root are also confused.

Obviously Danzo-sama said that we are the only team.

Why are people here again?

"Who are you?"

Captain Genbu asked warily.

The ANBU captain said matter-of-factly.

"Of course we are ANBU."

"Listening to what you said, don't you think so?"

Captain Genbu understood, shook his head and said.

"We were sent by Lord Danzo."

Now, the ANBU captain also understood.

Aren’t they the people at the root?

"What do you want to do here?"

Although they are both guardians of Konoha in the darkness, Anbu and Genbu have different affiliations, so they don't like each other.

The ANBU captain asked with a frown.

"This is the examination room for the Chunin Exams!"

Root replied.

"We were ordered by Lord Danzo to come here to reduce the number of candidates."

When the ANBU captain heard this, his brows suddenly relaxed.

"I see, we are following Hokage-sama's order and we are also reducing the number of candidates."

"Since we have the same purpose, let's act separately."

Apparently the ANBU leader had misunderstood.

Although the number of candidates is also reduced.

But when the third generation ordered the ANBU, he asked not to kill anyone.

But there is no intention of holding anything back at the root.

"Okay, then we won't disturb each other's mission."

Captain Genbu nodded, agreeing with the idea.
