Beneath the Forest of Death.

The trees here were all exceptionally tall, and their roots underground were equally massive.

In many places, they had forced open hollow cavities.

Black Zetsu waited patiently inside one of them.

Before long, a White Zetsu emerged from the ground.

"Lord Black Zetsu, the Chunin written exam has ended. The practical exam is this afternoon."

"Konoha's Chunin Exam schedule has not changed. The practical portion will still last three days."

"Surveillance has been installed in many parts of the forest. It will not be favorable for us to make a move."

Although Namikaze Minato was not in the village right now, he could return at any moment using the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Black Zetsu did not dare let his guard down.

He did not have many cards in hand.

He could only complete this plan before Konoha became alert.

Black Zetsu still felt that the chances of success were quite high. After all, no one had targeted the Hyuga Clan before.

After thinking it over, he still felt it was not safe enough and asked, "Have you found Obito?"

White Zetsu shook his head. "There is no news of Obito for the time being."

Black Zetsu felt somewhat stifled. Had Obito succeeded or failed last time?

All the candidates' papers had been collected.

The papers could be graded during lunch.

Many Chunin candidates
