Chapter 113 Forest of Death

The Tsuchikage was left speechless by Kamui's words. He sat there with a gloomy face and said nothing.

At this time, the conference room was no longer tense, and it was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

The Genin in the examination room also showed off their abilities, and various skills of collecting intelligence emerged one after another, making people call them experts after seeing them.

Of course, this does not include the members of the Fairy Tail Guild, because even if you put the correct answer in front of them, they will not understand it, and even worse, they may copy it incorrectly.

"The written test time is up, everyone stop writing, anyone violating this rule will be eliminated."

Thirty minutes was exactly the time for everyone to stop writing.

"Now it's time to make your choices. Those who choose to answer the last question stand on the left, and those who choose to use the total score of the team's written test stand on the right. Now start making the choices you think are correct."

As Banma announced the start of the selection, the Genin in the examination room quickly split into two distinct groups.

Because the total score of the team is calculated, there is no situation where there are two choices within a team.

Soon, all the Genin had chosen their way to advance to the next round of exams, and then Itama said.

"For those of you who chose to answer the last question, I regret to inform you...you have advanced to the next round of the exam."

Banjian deliberately paused in the middle of the sentence to create a tense atmosphere and make them mistakenly believe that they were eliminated. Unexpectedly, there was a sudden turn of events in the end and Banjian announced that they advanced.

Not to mention how they were cheering here, on the other side, those who chose to advance to the next round of exams based on the team's total score were all heartbroken, and some even knew that they had no hope of advancing, and tore up the test papers in their hands as if to vent their anger.

"Examiners, calculate the total scores of their written tests, keep the top-ranked team, and eliminate the others."

Following Itama's order, the examiners quickly marked the test papers and calculated the total scores of each team. The final result was that a team from the Sand Village managed to advance to the next round of exams.

As for why they were lucky, it was because many teams tore up their test papers, causing their scores to be invalid, so they were able to advance smoothly.

"Take the eliminated teams out of the examination room, and bring all the Genin who will advance to the next round of the exam to gather here with me. The chief examiner for your next exam will be here shortly."

In both examination rooms, all the teams that passed the first written test gathered around Banjian, waiting for him to introduce the examiners for the second test.

"Thank you for your hard work, Itama."

As she spoke, a red-haired female ninja walked in from the examination room. She was Uzumaki Mito.

"It's not hard. I'll leave it to you from now on."

Itama exchanged some pleasantries with Mito, then spoke.

"Let me introduce you. This is the chief examiner for your second exam, Uzumaki Mito."

"Mito, my mission is over. I will go report to the Hokage now."

Supervisor Itama's first exam was over, so he handed over the Genin who advanced to the next exam to Mito, and went to report to the Hokage Madara.

"Just go ahead and do your work, Banjian. Leave them to me."

Mito sent Itama away and then spoke to the Genin in front of him.

"Now everyone, get out and go to the examination room for the second exam."

Mito said as she walked ahead, the Genin who were taking the Chunin Exams following behind her silently.

……

After leaving the Ninja School, Itama headed straight for the Hokage Building.

When he walked into the conference room of the Hokage Building, he found that everyone in the room was very silent, but he did not think much about it. He walked into the conference room and began to report to the Hokage Madara about the situation of the first exam of the Chunin Exam.

"Hokage, the first exam has ended. A total of eighty-seven people from the two examination halls have advanced to the next round of exams, including twenty-one from Konoha Village, nine from Sand Village, eighteen from Kirigakure Village, fifteen from Kumogakure Village, and twenty-four from Iwagakure Village."

"Okay, I get it. You've been working hard during this period, go back and take a rest."

After listening to Itachi's report, Hokage Madara sent Itachi back to rest.

"Everyone, the first round of screening results for the Chunin Exams are out. Do you have anything to say?"

Naruto Madara asked the other four Kage what they thought about the Chunin Exam, hoping they could give some suggestions.

"Hokage, don't you think the Chunin Exams held by Konoha Village are a little too strict?"

The Raikage expressed his own opinion. He thought that the difficulty of this Chunin Exam was a bit too high, especially when he heard that there were only fifteen people from the Hidden Cloud Village entering the second exam.

"Strict? I don't think so. The purpose of holding the Chunin Exam is not only to allocate resources, but also to select outstanding ninjas for the future development of the ninja village. Does the Raikage hope that the successor of the village will be a waste?"

Hokage Madara knew very well the significance of the Chunin Exams, and his words made the Four Kages thoughtful.

"The Hokage is the one who thinks long-term. I, the Raikage, have learned my lesson."

The Raikage said very politely.

"It's too polite for the Raikage to say I'll be taught. Even if I didn't say it, the Raikage would have figured it out. It's just a matter of time."

Seeing that the Raikage was so polite, Hokage Madara naturally spoke very humbly.

"Hokage, the chief examiner for the first round of the Chunin Exam is Senju Itama. Who is the chief examiner for the second round?"

The Kazekage was somewhat curious about who would be the chief examiner for the second round of the Chunin Exam. Right now Kamui, Ooshirama, and Tobirama were all in the conference room, but who else could it be besides them?

"Kazekage, to be honest, the chief examiner for the second round of the Chunin Exam is my wife, Uzumaki Mito."

At this time, Kamui stood up and answered Fengying's question.

……

On the other side, Mito, with the Genin taking part in the Chunin Exam, came to the examination venue for the second exam, the Forest of Death.

This place used to be an ordinary forest. Later, because of the Chunin Exams, it was transformed by the Great Pillar and Itama using Wood Release, and thus got the name Death Forest.

"Next, each team will send one member to come to me to receive the Book of Heaven and Earth. Friendly reminder, do not let the people in other teams know whether you got the Book of Heaven or the Book of Earth."

Each team sent out a member to take the Book of Heaven and Earth from Mito. After taking it, they took a quick look at it and hid it carefully.

Mito said after handing out the scrolls.

"Now that everyone has received the Book of Heaven and Earth, I will now announce the rules for the second round of the Chunin Exam."

"The second round of the Chunin Exam is a battle for the Book of Heaven and Earth. Each team now has half of the Book of Heaven and Earth. You must find a way to get the other half from the other teams, then rush to the tower in the center of the Forest of Death and open the Book of Heaven and Earth. That will mean you have passed the second round of the Chunin Exam."

"Before you reach the tower in the Forest of Death, you are not allowed to open the Book of Heaven and Earth. Otherwise, you will be automatically eliminated. The exam will end before this evening. Now we will start dividing into groups."

"Three teams will form a group. Every ten minutes, a group will enter the Death Forest. The team whose names are read below will form a group."

The names Mito read were all made up by Kamui on the ninja profile cards in order to hide their true identities.

"Now the first group enters the Forest of Death."

Mito informed.

The first group is the double of the Great Pillar, the double of Tobirama, Laxus, the team of the brothers Kinkaku and Ginkaku, and an unknown team from the Iwagakure Village.

As soon as they entered the Forest of Death, a fierce battle broke out and the Book of Heaven and Earth was snatched away from the Iwagakure Village team in an instant.

The people who tried to snatch the Book of Heaven and Earth were the team of brothers Jinjiao and Yinjiao. After they snatched it, they found that the Book of Heaven and Earth of the Iwagakure team was the same as the Book of Heaven and Earth in their hands.

So the brothers Jinjiao and Yinjiao set their sights on the team led by Dazhuzi's doppelganger.

As soon as the two sides fought, the gap in strength became apparent. The team of brothers Kinkaku and Ginkaku was no match for the doppelganger of Oshira and his men. The brothers Kinkaku and Ginkaku did not have the Six Paths Ninja Tools in their hands, so they could only allow them to snatch the Book of Heaven and Earth from them.

"Brother, the two scrolls in their hands are also books of heaven."

The double of Tobirama searched the teams of brothers Kinkaku and Ginkaku and took out the Book of Heaven and Earth from them, but found that everyone had the Book of Heaven in their hands.

"It seems that we can only wait until the next group enters the Death Forest and then find a way to snatch these two Heavenly Books from them. We can keep them and help other teams advance to the next round of exams."

The Oshira's duplicate and the Tobirama's duplicate understood what Laxus meant. They snatched the Book of Heaven and Earth from the other ninja village teams, and then gave the remaining Book of Heaven and Earth to Kamui or Mito's team.

"Laxus, it's a good idea, let's do it."

With the support of the Great Pillar's duplicate, the Tobirama duplicate naturally agreed with Laxus's idea.

Ten minutes later.

"The second group enters the Forest of Death."

Mito calculated the time and notified the second group to enter the Death Forest as soon as ten minutes were up.

The second group consists of Daruei and Yoyuei's teams and two unknown teams from the Hidden Mist Village and the Hidden Leaf Village.

As soon as their group entered the Forest of Death, Daruai and Yeyueai's team couldn't wait to attack the teams from the Hidden Mist Village and the Konoha Village.

"We are lucky. The Book of Heaven and Earth in their hands is exactly the part we need."

Yeyue Ai held the Book of Heaven and the Book of Earth in his hands and showed his gains to his teammates.

"Then let's go to the tower in the center of the Death Forest now to avoid any more trouble."

As Daruai was speaking, he saw the doppelganger of Big Pillar and his companions approaching.

"Sorry, you can't go anywhere. Now hand over the Book of Heaven and Earth in your hands."

The Great Pillar's duplicate said to Daruay with a serious face.

"If you want the Book of Heaven and Earth in my hand, then I'll see if you have the ability to do it."

Daruet said this, using the Lightning Release Armor to attack the double of the pillar.
