The second exam: The Forest of Death scroll battle

Everyone was stunned when they heard Ibiki's announcement of his advancement.

"But the last question hasn't been asked yet!"

One Examinee raised a question, and the surrounding Examinee echoed it.

The choice I just presented to you is the final question.

Ibiki Morino began to explain.

"Only by choosing the correct answer on the last question can you pass this round of the exam; otherwise, you're eliminated. I have no respect for people who pin their hopes on something as vague as the next exam."

"Then what about the nine questions we did before?"

Another Examinee began to express his dissatisfaction.

"That was a test of your detection and information gathering skills. As you've probably noticed, plagiarism was allowed in this written test. The students who were eliminated were simply those whose plagiarism methods were too clumsy."

"Therefore, those of you who successfully survived the first forty-five minutes and chose the Correct Answers to the last question deserve to advance to the next round."

Ibiki Morino announced loudly, "Congratulations everyone, you've successfully opened the door to the Chunin Ninja Exams!"

Just after Ibiki Morino finished speaking, Shinki saw a dark figure rushing towards them through the exam room window.

"Whoa!!"

The dark figure smashed through the exam hall's glass, flipped over, and struck a pose. "Hello everyone!! I'm your proctor for the second round of the Chunin Ninja Exams, Mitarashi Anko! ❛‿˂̵✧"

Shinki glanced at the second examiner who had suddenly appeared and felt that this woman's behavior was somewhat similar to that of the simple-minded Naruto...

"Nobody answered you, how embarrassing."

Ibiki Morino stood to the side and made a sarcastic remark.

Mitarashi Anko:(||๐_๐)

Then, this strong-willed woman retorted defiantly, "So many people stayed after the first exam, Ibiki, did you help them cheat?"

Ibiki Morino's face showed a pleased expression. "This year's Examinee have produced quite a few promising talents."

Mitarashi Anko's lips curled into a playful smile, "Oh? Is that so? I wonder if they'll be able to survive the second round of my examination."

After a brief exchange with Ibiki Morino, Mitarashi Anko waved her hand and said, "Alright! Everyone! Let's head to the exam location for the Second Exam!"

In front of the Training Ground Forty-Four in Konoha.

Mitarashi Anko's gaze swept over everyone present as she began to explain the rules of the Second Exam and the exam venue.

"What you are about to see is the Training Ground Forty-Four of Konoha, also known as the Forest of Death!"

"The Training Ground was surrounded by fences and forty-four gates, with a River running through the middle and dense forests on both sides."

"The Training Ground is an irregular circle, with the High Tower at its center where you will finalize your mission handover. The distance from any side of the fence to the High Tower is approximately 10 kilometers, meaning the entire Training Ground covers about 310 square kilometers."

"You will begin a five-day, one-hundred-and-twenty-hour Scroll -grabbing battle across the vast Training Ground Forty-Four."

"Wait a moment, each of your teams will be given a Scroll, either 'Heaven' or 'Earth'."

"What you need to do is take the Heaven and Earth Scrolls to the central High Tower within five days to hand over the mission. Only then will the exam be considered complete."

"Five days? People would starve to death in a place like this."

Naruto peered through the barbed wire fence and saw the towering ancient trees in the Training Ground Forty-Four. He looked troubled and squinted as he spoke.

"Yes, they'll starve to death in less than five days."

After hearing the rules explained by Mitarashi Anko, Choji Akimichi Choji's small eyes widened in surprise.

"Don't worry, the forest is teeming with all sorts of poisonous insects and ferocious beasts; you'll never lack food."

Anko squinted her eyes and smiled as she spoke.

Compared to Naruto and the others' concerns about food, Shinki was more concerned about the elimination rate of this competition.

Each team receives one Scroll, and only those teams holding two Scrolls can pass the exam.

In other words, after this exam, half of the participants will definitely be eliminated.

This is assuming the exam proceeds normally and everyone is alive.

Because the Training Ground Forty-Four is filled with all sorts of poisonous insects and ferocious beasts native to the Land of Fire, and a moment's carelessness could mean certain death.

Mitarashi Anko watched the murmuring Genin.

This Chunin Ninja Exams will be more difficult than any mission these rookies have ever taken before!

Then, she took out a thick stack of documents from a table next to the Training Ground: "Next, I will issue a death liability certificate to everyone present. Because fighting between Ninjas is allowed in this exam, serious injury and death are common... You have half an hour to think about whether you want to sign it."

"Half an hour later, the three members of the group can collect the Scroll from the small hut over there by presenting three signed responsibility agreements."

Soon, the death liability certificate was delivered to Shinki.

Shinki signed his name without even reading the contents of the liability waiver carefully.

Now that we've decided to participate in the Chunin Ninja Exams, we can't back down!

The same applies to Sasuke and Naruto, who are beside him.

After submitting the letter of responsibility, Shinki remembered that he hadn't yet received the money he'd been paid for helping someone cheat on his first exam.

So he walked up to a group from a Kusagakure and extended his hand. "The answers to the last exam were what I gave you. We agreed on a thousand copper coins each."

Unexpectedly, the other party did not keep their promise and instead pretended to be ignorant, "What answers? We did all the questions in the first exam ourselves; there was absolutely no cheating."

"Yeah, you talk really strangely."

"Not paying?"

Shinki sneered, "Because you broke your promise, the price has increased to five thousand copper coins."

The group of Kusagakure Ninjas wore mocking expressions. "Let me tell you the truth, we would never pay that kind of money. You say we bought your answer? Then show us the proof!"

Shinki didn't speak, but after memorizing the other person's face, he silently walked away.

There are no restrictions on combat in the Forest of Death, so discussing debt collection here is too troublesome.

Next, Shinki questioned several people who had promised to pay him when they cheated.

Of the more than thirty people, only one team expressed their gratitude to Shinki and offered their reward.

The rest, led by the Ninjas from the Kusagakure, all chose to deny it.

Shinki didn't say a word about it.

What's meant to be his, he won't get away with it!

Soon, half an hour passed.

At 2 PM, all teams entered through any gate in the Training Ground Forty-Four.

Mitarashi Anko waved her hand dismissively.

"The exam has begun!"
