Chapter 41 Death Forest! The second test officially begins! !

Late at night, in an alley in Konoha Village, Kabuto and Orochimaru met.

"How is Uchiha Kanon's body?" Orochimaru asked with interest.

"She is unfathomable, Lord Orochimaru. Lord Sasuke is safer as a vessel."

"why?"

"Because Sasuke's Sharingan only has two magatama, it will be more convenient for you to study the Sharingan."

"And I still haven't found out the strength of Uchiha Kanon."

"Lord Orochimaru, your time is almost up, and the transformation container cannot be delayed. In my opinion, Sasuke is the best choice."

"Okay, I'll listen to you. I'll go to the examination room to see for myself." After Orochimaru finished speaking, he saw that Kabuto seemed to have something on his mind, so he chuckled at Kabuto and said, "Do you have anything else to say?"

"This is the second exam, Orochimaru-sama. I'm afraid it won't be so easy for us to contain the Uchiha siblings."

Orochimaru also understood what Kabuto meant. He smiled faintly and said, "I will send Kimimaro to keep an eye on Sasuke's sister. Although he cannot kill her, it will be no problem to restrict her movements."

"That's best. Also tell Kimimaro to be careful of Uchiha Kanon."

After this brief exchange, the two disappeared into the night without leaving any trace.

the next day.

Everyone came to a forest, where the examiner was already seated.

"What...place is this?" Naruto wondered.

"You ask me, who should I ask?" Hanane muttered, still hanging her ninja tool bag on her left thigh.

At this moment, Mitarashi Anko, who was standing at the front, began to introduce the forest behind her: "This is the venue for the second exam, the 44th training ground."

"Also known as the Forest of Death."

At this moment, the four members of Team 7 all looked towards the Death Forest behind them. A gust of cold wind blew slowly, making Sakura feel a little creepy.

Mitarashi Anko smiled and said to everyone: "You will soon be able to experience the horror of the Death Forest."

Naruto, who was beside Kanon, started to "show off" to Mitarashi Anko, imitating her speech in a strange tone, and then shouted loudly; "No matter how you scare me, I will be fine, I'm not afraid at all!"

Then Naruto started laughing, and Mitarashi Anko in front of him also raised the corner of his mouth.

"Really? You look so energetic."

The next moment, the kunai in her hand flew towards Naruto's face. This action shocked everyone present. Red Bean was trying to show Naruto a warning!

Bang!

The kunai seemed to hit something and bounced back, leaving traces of blood on the cheeks of Red Bean and Naruto.

However, Hongdou looked at Kanon beside Naruto in shock. She was also holding a kunai at the moment, and with precise counterattack, she actually avoided the blind spot.

This made Hongdou, who was a little bored at the moment, happy.

But no one knew at this moment that in the middle of the crowd, there was a pale-faced woman looking at Kanon and Sasuke, her eyes full of murderous intent and hunger.

After knowing that the show of force was useless, Mitarashi Anko also took out a stack of life and death notices from an inexplicable place.

"Well, I'll give this to you before the second exam begins."

"Anyone who wants to take the next round of exams must sign this consent form."

"Why?" Naruto asked.

"Because someone might die afterwards, prior consent is required for this."

"Otherwise it will become my responsibility."

"Well, let's start with the instructions for the second exam."

"To put it simply, I want you to once again take on the ultimate wilderness survival challenge."

As she spoke, Mitarashi Anko took out the map of the forest and began to explain it in the order of the terrain of the training ground.

The exam time is 120 hours, which is exactly five days. Among the 26 teams that advance, 13 hold the Scroll of Heaven and the other 13 hold the Scroll of Earth. In other words, at least half of the teams will be eliminated.

You only need to collect both sets of scrolls of heaven and earth, and then go to the center of the Death Forest, where there is a tallest tower.

Similarly, if someone in the team dies or fails to reach the middle tower within the specified time, they will fail the test.

After introducing the rules, Mitarashi Anko sneered and said to everyone present;

“Finally, this is a test that cannot be aborted.”

"And no one can open the scroll to read its contents!"

"Finally, I'll give you all a piece of advice: Don't die!"

Mitarashi Anko's loud rebuke perked up everyone present.

After submitting the life and death statement and receiving the Scroll of Heaven, the four members of Class 7 gathered together.

"What do you mean?" Naruto asked the other three members of Team 7.

"In this battle, except for our class, everyone else is the enemy." Hanane muttered.

"We still have thirty minutes left. Do you want to discuss some countermeasures?" Sakura said to everyone.

Kanon looked at Sasuke and muttered to him;

"Brother, do you have any solution?"

"Not yet... Let's take it one step at a time."

Naruto said, "Let's go to entrance 12."

After Naruto called out, Sasuke, Kanon and Sakura followed him.

"We won't lose!" Naruto pounded his fists and encouraged himself.

Kanon also joined Naruto in punching the air to encourage everyone.

"I say, you two hot-blooded idiots, can you please calm down a bit?" Sakura really had no idea what to do with these two hot-blooded idiots around her.

Sasuke raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and he was also looking forward to the exam.

Before I knew it, thirty minutes had passed.

"From now on, the second round of the Chunin Selection Exam begins!"

At this moment, everyone rushed into the Forest of Death.

As for Orochimaru's group, they came in with a purpose in mind.

"Go find the kids!"

The two people beside him also raised their lips slightly: "It's those four people, right!"

Naruto and others also entered the Death Forest from Gate No. 12.

"Okay! Let's go!"

Team 8, Team 10, Team 3, and three ninjas from the Sand Village also stepped into this strange forest of death.

As soon as they entered the forest, Naruto and his teammates were immediately struck by an oppressive silence.

"That's really creepy..." Sakura shuddered.

Sasuke remained silent, he understood that in this forest, all opponents were enemies. They had to defeat the team holding the Scroll of Earth, but at the same time they might also encounter opponents holding the same mission.

Thinking of this, Sasuke couldn't help but feel a little anxious. Before they went too far, a shrill scream came from deep in the forest.

"Has someone been killed?!" Sasuke was shocked.

It's been less than half an hour and someone has already been killed.

Sakura and the others also became nervous, even Naruto, who felt the urge to pee when he was nervous.

"It's nothing... I'm going to pee first." He unzipped his pants and prepared to find a tree to pee.

Kanon's cheeks turned slightly red, while Sakura punched Naruto lightly on the head.

"You idiot! How can you be so rude in front of us!"

"Let's find a hidden bush!"

In desperation, Naruto had to find a bush by himself.

When he returned to the team, he scratched his head and said, "Ah, what a big pee~"

Kanon and Sasuke frowned at the same time, but Sasuke acted quickly and knocked the "Naruto" in front of him away with a punch.

Sakura was stunned, watching the fake Naruto being knocked back and hit against a tree, she shouted quickly.

"Sasuke, no matter what happened, you can't just hit people like that!"

"Kane, check the surroundings! Find out where the real Naruto is!"

"Okay!" Kanon closed her eyes and began to sense the chakra fluctuations around her.

The quick reaction of the Uchiha siblings made Sakura quickly get into the state.

Compared with Sakura's reaction, Sasuke's movements were faster. He rushed towards the fake Naruto in a few steps and started a fierce fight with him.

The fake Naruto's movements were unusually smooth, totally unlike his real self, which finally made Sakura realize the truth.

The person in front of him was not Naruto, but an enemy in disguise using transformation techniques.
