Chapter 30: The Dangerous Forest of Death

I didn't expect that the first exam for the Chunin selection would be a written test. The passing score would be determined by groups of three. If cheating was discovered, points would be deducted, and everyone's seats were also messed up.

Most importantly, if one person in the group fails, they will be considered a failure.

If Haruko hadn't known about his simple interpersonal relationships in the morning, she would have thought that this exam was specifically aimed at Uzumaki Naruto.

In the morning, Haruko happened to be sitting with Uzumaki Naruto across from Hyuga Hinata.

Asahi Haruko mouthed "come on" to him, and Uzumaki Naruto smiled and gave her a thumbs up.

The exam officially begins.

By the way, this question...isn't it a bit too difficult?

Haruko Hayama never expected to see the interweaving of mathematics and physics in the ninja world, which made her think of nine years of compulsory education + three years of college entrance examinations.

I guess Naruto would not be able to solve this kind of questions. If it weren't for the Chinese-style education, Haruko Zaoma might not be able to solve these questions herself.

Wait, if the questions are so difficult, wouldn’t that just be an inducement for everyone to cheat?!

In the morning, Haruko felt that she had discovered the highlight.

Everyone around had already started writing, but most of them were having a hard time writing, especially Uzumaki Naruto, who was sweating profusely.

Haruko Zaoma was not disturbed by her surroundings and concentrated on writing the test paper. Fortunately, there were not many questions, so Haruko Zaoma finished it in a short time.

She glanced cryptically at Uzumaki Naruto, who was so flustered that he didn't even pick up a pen.

Sasuke must have discovered the truth about the exam, in which case she could just focus on Naruto.

"Flower God's Illusionary Eyes: Constructing an Illusion."

When Haruko opened her eyes again in the morning, the flowers in her eyes bloomed quickly.

"Hey! Am I still taking the exam?!" Uzumaki Naruto suddenly found himself in a kaleidoscopic dream world.

"Naruto!" Haruko Asahi walked up to him.

"Haruko? Is this your secret technique?"

"Almost. Naruto, hurry up." A test paper appeared in Haruko's hand. "My answers are already written down here. Hurry up and write them down."

Uzumaki Naruto was so happy that he cried. He quickly took the holy object that saved him from the dire straits.

"These questions are beyond our comprehension, and the examiner emphasized the penalty for cheating, so I think this written test is designed to make us cheat!"

"Is this really the case?!" Uzumaki Naruto was stunned.

"Okay, Naruto, take your time to remember that the flow rate in my illusion is different from that outside." Haruko asked him to sit down and watch.

"Yoshi! We're sure to win this exam!"

After coming out of the illusion, Uzumaki Naruto was full of energy. The moment he picked up the pen, he felt like a scholar!

……

The venue for the second exam is the 44th Training Ground, also known as the Death Forest, where extreme wilderness survival challenges and scroll battles will be carried out.

"Finally, I'll give you all a piece of advice: don't die!" Mitarashi Anko said seriously.

In the morning, Haruko and the other two got the Tianzi scroll. After entering the forest, they quickly moved towards the tower.

"Wait, I suddenly need to go to the bathroom!" Uzumaki Naruto said a little embarrassedly.

Morning Haruko stopped and looked at him, "Go quickly Naruto, be careful not to be discovered by others."

"Okay!" Uzumaki Naruto walked away happily.

"What a troublesome guy." Uchiha Sasuke said impatiently.

"Okay, okay, come on, has Sasuke grown a little taller?" Haruko Asako came closer to him and gestured with her hands to measure their heights.

Before, Uchiha Sasuke was only one forehead taller than her, but now, Uchiha Sasuke is actually half a head taller than her.

"Ah."

Uchiha Sasuke couldn't help but think that in order to grow taller quickly, he drank two extra glasses of milk every morning when Haruko wasn't paying attention.

The morning mother, who knew the inside story, covered her mouth and laughed.

Morning Haruko showed a relieved expression, "I told you I could take good care of Sasuke!"

Is this the joy of nurturing? I became a mother without any pain!

Uchiha Sasuke hid his blushing face into his collar and said, "What weird things are you talking about?"

Oh no, they're quarreling again.

Haruko felt itchy in the morning. She really liked teasing this kind of tsundere cat.

“Oh my, it’s so smooth!”

Uzumaki Naruto walked out from behind the big tree, pulling up his pants with his hands.

Uchiha Sasuke's kunai flew past him and into the tree. If Uzumaki Naruto hadn't dodged quickly, he would have been stabbed directly.

"What are you doing?!" Uzumaki Naruto yelled.

"Where is the real Naruto?" Haruko Asahi also took out a kunai.

“I was discovered…”

The man immediately returned to his original form and was a ninja from another country.

...Ninjas from other countries really have a unique aesthetic.

Haruko couldn't help but think as she looked at his strange outfit.

Then Uchiha Sasuke opened his Sharingan and defeated him together with Uzumaki Naruto who had rushed back. Unfortunately he escaped too fast. If they had not been afraid of alerting the enemy, the three of them would have chased him directly.

"It seems we need to set a secret code. If we disperse like we did just now, it is likely to attract the enemy to disguise themselves as us." Haruko Asagumi suggested.

"Then what kind of secret code should we use?" Uzumaki Naruto was a little confused.

"This reminds me of Shikamaru's dream life." Haruko Asahi couldn't help but laugh.

"Then the code is set as follows. If one person says 'Nara Shikamaru', the other person will answer - just become a ninja, make some money, and then marry an ordinary woman who is neither beautiful nor ugly. Have two children, the first one is a girl, and the second one is a boy. When the eldest daughter gets married and the son can stand on his own, he will retire from the ninja world, live one day at a time, play chess or shogi, live a leisurely life in seclusion, and then die of old age before his wife."

Uzumaki Naruto was overwhelmed and said with a bitter face: "Shikamaru is indeed a strange person."

Nara Shikamaru, who was still on his way in the distance, said: “Ah!”

"Right, right! Shikamaru's dream is really amazing!"

"I think your definition of being powerful may be different from ours." Uchiha Sasuke rarely complained about her.

"Hahaha, then this will be the code!" Haruko decided happily in the morning.

"Wait a minute, can you please say it again, Haruko?" Uzumaki Naruto requested.

"It's indeed the memory of an idiot." Uchiha Sasuke stood up.

"Huh?!" Uzumaki Naruto was furious.

Suddenly a hurricane rushed towards them!

Although they responded immediately, they were still blown away.

In the morning, Haruko flipped several times in the air and finally stabilized on the ground.

After stabilizing his body, Uchiha Sasuke immediately found Asahi Haruko. After they exchanged secret signals, Uzumaki Naruto also rushed over.

"Nara Shikamaru!"

"Just be a ninja, make some money, marry an ordinary woman who is neither beautiful nor ugly, and have two children. The first one is a girl, and the second one is a boy..."

Before Uzumaki Naruto could finish his words, Uchiha Sasuke stabbed him with a kunai.

"Naruto may not remember all this, but it's still good to be able to carry forward Shikamaru's dream!" Haruko Asahi smiled somewhat sinisterly.

Nara Shikamaru, who was still on his way in the distance, said: "Ah! Who is scolding me?"
