Those Who Dare Talk About a Jonin Deserve to Die

After Naruto returned from Ichiraku, they saw a large crowd as soon as they arrived at the Ninja Academy.

What happened?

Naruto hadn't quite grasped what was happening yet, and scratched his head.

"The results are probably out." Shikamaru glanced at them and said nonchalantly.

"Really? Shall we go take a look?"

Naruto was about to step forward when Hinata stopped Naruto and waved her hand.

"Naruto-kun, we just need to wait. Even if we squeeze in now, we won't see anything."

The next assessment won't come so soon, after all, this time it's not just candidates from Konoha.

Naruto stroked his chin and turned to look at Sasuke.

"What?" Sasuke, feeling uncomfortable being stared at like that by Naruto, checked himself over.

Nothing got on it.

"Sasuke, use your Sharingan to see our results!"

Naruto bared his teeth and spoke to Sasuke rather rudely.

"I refuse!" Sasuke gritted his teeth and refused immediately upon hearing this; it was too beneath him!

"Ah! Ah~ Sasuke, you're the best~"

Seeing Sasuke in this state, Naruto immediately took a step to his side, grabbed his arm, and shook it incessantly.

Huh--

Shikamaru and Choji shuddered inexplicably, then quietly moved their feet.

Ino's eyes lit up, as if she had discovered a new continent.

Bang--!

Sasuke loosened his fist, unable to resist making a mental rant.

This guy's head is really hard.

"Don't embarrass me! You bastard!"

Despite saying that, Sasuke still obediently activated his Sharingan and looked at the notice board.

If you don't watch, you never know what kind of crazy things Naruto will do next.

Seeing that Sasuke had finally used his Sharingan, Naruto quietly stood aside.

"Call--"

After a long while, Sasuke finally stopped using the Sharingan and let out a breath.

Even Shikamaru, who didn't care about the results, looked at Sasuke.

We all passed!

Opening his eyes again, Sasuke said with a slight smirk.

"Yay!"

Naruto and Choji jumped up immediately, while Ino and Hinata also broke into smiles.

Shikamaru chuckled lightly; thankfully, they had all passed.

If even one or two students fall behind, they'll probably make the teachers lose all face.

"By the way, Sasuke, what was my score?" Naruto asked Sasuke, as if remembering something.

When Naruto asked that question, Sasuke looked at Naruto with a strange expression.

That guy actually guessed right.

"Ninety, exactly as you guessed." Sasuke put his hands in his pockets, seemingly clueless about the situation.

Every time I guess my theory exam score, it's like I have a precognitive ability.

"Hehe, I knew it! I didn't even fill in the last question, so I'm definitely going to get 90."

Naruto rubbed his nose with his finger and said smugly.

"No, Naruto, what's going on with you this time?" Shikamaru, who had been following Asuma, asked, puzzled.

"We haven't seen each other for so long, can't I grow up?" Naruto was quite dissatisfied with Shikamaru's question.

"Don't be so smug. If it weren't for the teacher, you'd be crying soon." Sasuke pouted, clearly displeased with Naruto's smug attitude.

"Isn't Teacher Hagoromo's achievement also my achievement?"

Naruto waved his hand dismissively at Sasuke's words.

"Naruto-kun is amazing!" Hinata silently closed her Byakugan. She saw her score, which was only 80 points.

Sasuke and Shikamaru tacitly refrained from interjecting when Hinata spoke.

They argued with a girl whose mind was completely occupied by Naruto, because they didn't want to get beaten up by Ino.

"Let's go, isn't the second exam coming up soon?"

Sasuke turned and walked towards the gate. The notice board hadn't just listed the results; it had also included the destination for the second exam.

"Huh?! Where is the second exam held?"

Naruto quickly followed, asking with great confusion.

"Our old haunt, the outskirts of the Forest of Death." Sasuke his head to look at everyone, a smile appearing on his face.

Upon hearing this, Naruto, Shikamaru, and the others all smiled.

Unexpectedly, the second exam was also held in a place they were familiar with.

Wouldn't that increase their chances of passing?

After all, this wasn't just a test for Konoha alone; it also included the Five Great Shinobi Villages and many smaller ones.

In the chaos of a group, a familiar place is more advantageous for them.

The group checked again to make sure they had all the items they were carrying, and then headed towards the outer edge of the Forest of Death.

Countless examinees were gathering all around, and Shikamaru noticed that there were far fewer people than during the first round.

More than half of the people didn't come.

Why were so few people eliminated in this theory exam?

Based on data from previous years, Shikamaru frowned.

"What's wrong?" Sasuke glanced at Shikamaru and asked in a low voice.

"I'm not sure, but it feels like too few people were eliminated in the first round. Based on past experience, it should have been at least two-thirds fewer."

Shikamaru shook his head; he wasn't joking.

The second test meant certain death, even for these Genin hadn't even passed the first one.

However, this does not mean that it is truly so vulnerable.

Keep in mind that being able to graduate already qualifies you as Genin, even if you're not on par with some geniuses.

However, this can still be considered a vital force, and all countries will actively avoid such unnecessary depletion.

If you fail the joint exam, you can simply take it again in your own village.

Sasuke didn't respond; thinking about it too much was pointless.

On the outskirts of the Forest of Death, as the examinees gathered, they looked around, searching for the examiner.

"What's going on? It's been almost half an hour! Where's the examiner?"

"Yeah, what is Konoha doing?"

A chorus of complaints rose and fell around them, while Naruto and his friends seemed to be deep in thought.

Could this habit belong to that person?

The next instant, a figure suddenly appeared above the head of a complaining examinee and kicked him down.

Thud--

The ground cracked open, and the Genin limbs were being trampled under the feet of the approaching figure, twitched uncontrollably.

"I am the examiner for the second exam, Kakashi Hatake."

With his silver hair fluttering in the wind, Kakashi paid no attention to the lives of the examinees at his feet, slowly raising his head to look around.

All the examinees who met Kakashi's gaze immediately looked away.

It's really... too much of a deterrent.

"Those who dare to criticize Jonin deserve to die."

After saying this, Kakashi stood up and stepped onto the ground, then said indifferently, "This man's teammate, take him out of the examination hall."

You have lost your eligibility to participate.
