Forest of Death.
The venue for the second round of the Chunin Exam.
Konoha has never changed the location for the second round of the exam, nor could they find a better place than this to test the comprehensive abilities of the Genin teams in a wilderness environnt.
Just as the na of this venue suggests, the Forest of Death also harbors dangers that could lead to death, including the perilous forest environnt and the wild beasts that can be found everywhere...
And...
Rivals who might appear at any mont.
All eyes at the venue were on two individuals.
One was Akihara Kagura, and the other was Uchiha Itachi. These two ten-year-old boys were the only ones who attended the exam alone and were the only ones exempted from the first round.
The other Genin had struggled through the first round of written tests, only to find these two kids waiting for them at the second round without having to take any test, which seed sowhat unfair.
"That kid..."
"Is there sothing special about him?"
"I've never seen or heard of him before."
"Why do I feel like Uchiha Itachi and that kid are sowhat at odds... Could he be a genius like Uchiha Itachi?"
"It's hard to say..."
"After all, soone who takes the Chunin exam alone and gets the approval of the higher-ups of the village must not be any ordinary kid..."
"That kid is the one who tricked us into changing the exam venue!"
Soone among the Genin candidates suddenly blurted this out, instantly arousing collective excitent, and they looked at Akihara Kagura with displeasure.
"Hey, that kid..."
"It was ."
Akihara Kagura admitted with a smile to what he had done and extended his hand in invitation, saying, "Welco... to all of you who have troubles with ."
"Don't be too arrogant, kid..."
Several guys who obviously didn't seem easy to ss with walked over.
Fortunately.
The proctor of the second exam stopped the conflict.
The proctor of the second exam was nad Yamashiro Aoba, dressed in the green uniform of a special Jonin of Konoha, wearing a pair of sunglasses on his face.
Yamashiro Aoba looked at a group of Genin who wanted to cause trouble and said softly, "If you want to fight, you'll have plenty of ti after you enter the examination room."
"Even..."
Yamashiro Aoba raised a stack of thick papers in his hand and continued, "If you sign this 'Consent Form', even if you accidentally kill your opponent in the examination room, no one will hold you responsible afterward."
"Of course."
"Anyone who signs this 'Consent Form' might face accidents during this exam, and will be solely responsible for their own safety."
"Proctor."
Akihara Kagura raised his hand with a smile and asked, "Does that an we can kill people in the second exam?"
"..."
Yamashiro Aoba frowned and pondered.
Every year in the Chunin Exams, there are always so arrogant people who think they can stand out, but they often end up dying due to their arrogance.
Even a genius...
Might die in the Forest of Death.
However, Yamashiro Aoba was not a crazily aggressive ninja; in fact, he was sowhat timid and cautious. After thinking for a while, he still nodded.
"By the rules, yes, you can."
Yamashiro Aoba looked at the young man and gently persuaded, "The most important aspect of this exam is not the combat competition. It also tests your wilderness survival skills."
"Even if you can get the pass-through item from your competitors, you might not be able to avoid the dangers of the forest and reach the endpoint of the exam"
"The rules of the second stage of the Chunin Exam are quite simple"
"The struggle for the Heaven and Earth Scrolls, all Genin teams participating in the exam will receive two different types of scrolls, the Heaven Scroll and the Earth Scroll;"
"Within five days, any squad must find a way to survive in the Forest of Death and snatch other teams' scrolls, collect both Heaven and Earth Scrolls, and inside the Forest of Death exam venue, you are not restricted in the thods you use against competitors."
"There is only one condition for victory."
"The team must hold both Heaven and Earth Scrolls within the stipulated five days and pass through the long Forest of Death to reach the high tower where the chief examiner is located."
"There are many conditions for elimination."
"First, if a team does not reach the endpoint with both Heaven and Earth Scrolls within the stipulated five days, all mbers will be eliminated."
"Second, if there is a lack of team mbers or a team mber is unable to move, that is to say, to beco a victorious team, all mbers must reach the destination."
"Third, teams that open the Heaven and Earth Scrolls before reaching the high tower will be disqualified because once you beco a Chunin, you may co into contact with highly confidential docunts. This is a test of your ability to keep secrets."
"A friendly reminder."
"Opening the scrolls during the exam will lead to strange occurrences."
"Similarly."
"To give you ti to adapt."
"All examinees will enter the exam venue through several different entrances."
"This exam will definitely eliminate more than half of the teams, I hope everyone will be careful, I will wait for the victors at the high tower at the endpoint."
"..."
The candidates present quickly beca noisy.
Uchiha Itachi's gaze remained unchanged, only more seriously arranging his ninja tool bag, as he promised his father that he could pass the Chunin Exam.
Akihara Kagura's eyes also showed no change, just signing the "Consent Form" with his head down, seemingly indifferent to the danger he might encounter in the Forest of Death.
There were not a few who set their sights on the two young n, Uchiha Itachi and Akihara Kagura, as they made up two teams, each holding a type of scroll.
Compared to competing with other teams, the odds of three people ganging up on one seed higher, only there were a bit too many people eyeing those two kids...
Indeed, too many wolves and not enough at...
Of course.
So had very peculiar points of focus.
"Where do we get the foods?"
A chubby boy loudly asked Yamashiro Aoba.
Yamashiro Aoba, in response to the candidate's question, answered quite seriously: "It's wilderness survival. The resources in the Forest of Death are plentiful, enough for you to be self-sufficient."
"..."
The Genin present felt these were minor issues.
After all, they had all been out on so missions and had learned wilderness survival skills, so these little things were not a problem at all.
Perhaps...
Only one person thought this might be a problem.
Akihara Kagura frowned and began to ponder life, wondering if there was a Genin team wanting to cook. He could join that team and win easily.
Akihara Kagura could fish, but was not good at cooking it.
All along, Akihara Kagura never had to worry about cooking. Back in the research base, Orochimaru always kept him healthy.
Later, when he was in the Root organization, the Root's base also had its own canteen. Although the food quality might not be very good, it was enough to survive.
Akihara Kagura looked over the Genin present.
If he couldn't cook, couldn't he find a way to get so food? The resources in the Forest of Death were enough for self-sufficiency, so he could definitely find sothing to eat.
