"Very good, no one seems to have chosen to leave. I'm now announcing the tenth question of this exam."

...

"Congratulations, everyone who stayed passed the first exam!"

After a brief surprise and silence, unbelievable cheers and questions from people who remain calm.

———————————————————————

"Oh, okay, this figure and this quality are worthy of Konoha Village. Is this the atmosphere of my hometown?"

While the exam was in full swing, not everyone maintained a relationship with it, at least most of Konoha's people remained the same.

Somewhere on the roof of Konoha, a figure wearing a red vest was staring at the opposite side with a monocular lens without blinking, with an extremely obscene smile on his face.

Opposite him is a virgin bathhouse in Konoha.

Suddenly, a slight footsteps appeared on the roof, and a slightly helpless voice said: "After so many years, it has not changed at all... Jiraiya!"

"Huh?" Jiraiya turned around, his eyes showing a hint of surprise. In front of him, a white coat appeared, and a big fire word on the special hat was clearly visible.

"I'm really idle, Mr. Sarutobi, you actually come to see me in person when you have time."

Spit out a breath of smoke and took the pipe in his mouth. Sarutobi Hinazun said calmly, "If I don't come, I'm afraid you won't go to see me even if you leave again. Are you still complaining about me in your heart?"

Jiraiya folded the monocular lens up, stood up and chuckled, "Stop saying such stupid things. I have never blamed you since the beginning. You know, I just can't stand those things. I have such a personality, and I can't do anything about it."

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed, "I know, so for so many years, I haven't said anything more about the fact that you haven't returned to the village."

Jiraiya shrugged, "Okay, I won't talk about my topic anymore. Old man, what do you want to call me back this time?"

"Orochimaru!" Sarutobi Hinashin said suddenly, and Jiraiya's eyes suddenly condensed. "Orochimaru is in the village, I can feel that the people in Anbu have locked in the figure of the suspicious person."

Jiraiya's face became serious, "Did that guy Orochimaru actually return to the village? What exactly did he want to do?" He looked up and looked at Sarutobi Hinazon, "Old man, what do you mean." Sarutobi said helplessly, "Jiraiya, I'm old, Konoha's huge burden has been unable to withstand for a few years. I don't know the purpose of Orochimaru's return, but he must not be as simple as visiting relatives. I need your strength, and Konoha also needs your strength."

Looking at Jiraiya's hesitant expression on his face, he continued, "I know your relationship with Orochimaru. You are both called Sannin. He even saved your life on the battlefield and is his best friend. He rebelled from the village back then, and frankly said that I have a responsibility, but no matter what, Orochimaru is now our enemy.

I have also received some news from you outside over the years. You seem to have tracked down his whereabouts in the years when Orochimaru just defected and fought with him, but it doesn't seem ideal. This time, I hope to completely solve the hidden danger of Orochimaru. His existence is a threat from beginning to end, and Jiraiya, your power is indispensable in it."

"Old man, have you made up your mind?" Jiraiya asked seriously.

Sarutobi Hinako said with a serious look, "Ah, for this day, I have already realized it!"

"The one in front of you is the venue of the second round of the Chunin Examination, the Forest of Death!" The examiner of the second round of the exam, Yushou Shaing Hongdou said in front of everyone.

"Simply put, what you face in the second game will be a harsh practical exam. This is the map of the Death Forest. Your purpose is to reach the tower at the center. Of course, the additional condition is the two "Heaven" and "Earth" scrolls in my hand!"

Yushouweihongdou smiled and said, "If you have no objection, you can sign the consent form in my hand, and then go to the place next to you to collect the scroll and you can start the exam. By the way, the exam time is 120 hours, which is exactly five days. Don't die!"

After a brief description, everyone understood the rules of the second exam and discussed in a low voice between the groups.

Basically, this is an exam that will kill each other, because each team is only given one scroll, and if you want to pass the level, you must grab other teams. There is no guarantee whether it will be repeated with the scrolls of your own team, and the elimination rate will reach an astonishing level.

"Yoxi, see if I beat everyone down, this time, I will definitely be the first place." Naruto said vigorously.

"The guy who handed in the white book is not qualified to say such things!" Sakura said, covering her forehead. The white book was said by Naruto himself on the way to come.

After lunch, their teams went to exchange for the scrolls and gathered at different entrances in the Death Forest. The moment all the entrances opened, the ninjas flocked in.

The moment they entered, all the teams dispersed instantly, and Naruto's squad seventh also instantly headed into the forest.

Found a hidden place, the three of them stopped and began to discuss strategies.

Sasuke picked up a branch and said in a deep voice, "The rules of this exam seem simple, but in fact they have hidden traps. They are simply encouraging each other to kill each other. If we are a little careless, we may fall directly into this forest and never get out."

"No...no, this is just an exam after all. If someone dies..." Sakura suddenly said nervously.

Naruto also frowned and said, "It's so troublesome, but if the target is a tower, we can just rush there directly. Just stop in front of the tower regardless of the scroll, and then find a team to stop them, because it's time to complete the task."

"Good idea, but first of all, you have to be sure to reach the tower!"

...

In the dark forest of death, a figure wearing a black background and red cloud costume appeared. Kisame smiled strangely, "Speaking of this, we are actually playing with a bunch of little ghosts. All of this is because of you, Itachi Sang. But you don't really plan to kill Orochimaru, give me some accurate news. Your silence makes me feel very guilty!"

ps: I suddenly realized that if I follow this progress, the ending seems to be coming soon...
