Forest of Death

At the entrance to the Forest of Death.

After lunch, those who had passed the Chunin Exam written test had been selected.

More than a hundred Genin had now gathered together.

They waited for the practical exam to begin.

Before long, Anko arrived with Naruto's team, Kimimaro's team, as well as Light and Neji.

"Before the second exam begins, I'll explain the rules."

"To confirm your participation, you must sign this 'Death Consent Form.'"

"The exam will be a survival challenge."

"This Training Ground 44, commonly known as the Forest of Death, is a circular area surrounded by forty-four locked entrances."

"Inside are rivers, forests, and all kinds of man-made and natural traps."

"There is a tower at the center. The distance from the tower to the entrances was originally ten kilometers, but after the expansion, it is now fifteen kilometers."

"Within this limited area, an elimination process will take place."

"The content is..."

As she spoke, Anko took out a scroll. "A scroll battle."

"Each person will receive a scroll. I want you to fight one another for scrolls."

"Many candidates in this Chunin Exam do not have enough teammates, so free team formation is allowed."

"Teams may have no more than five people and no fewer than three."

"If you have three scrolls, you may enter the central tower. You will be considered to have passed the survival exam."

"The exam will last 120 hours, exactly five days."

"Wilderness survival is also a required course for ninja. However, a special reminder: the Forest of Death contains a great number of poisonous insects and dangerous beasts."

"Be careful not to die in there."

"The elimination conditions..."

Senyo stood among the proctors some distance away, listening as Anko read out the rules.
