"Naruto-kun, are we taking her with us now?"
Sakura looked at the unconscious Ajisai, a trace of wariness rising in her heart.
"No need. Her invisibility technique is pretty good."
As he spoke, Naruto stepped forward and picked up the Sealing Paper from Ajisai's hand.
He sent his consciousness into it.
"Found it."
The space before the Sealing Paper rippled, and an Earth-colored Cloth appeared.
Naruto reached out and patted Big Tree. Big Tree received Nature Power, and its roots churned.
A human-shaped depression appeared in the ground. Naruto placed Ajisai inside, covered her with the Earth-colored Cloth, then scattered some dirt over it.
In an instant, the Earth-colored Cloth changed color. After a quarter of an hour, the ground looked completely normal.
"Let's go. We have both Heaven and Earth Scrolls, so we just need to head for the Central Tower."
"Naruto-kun, the Chunin Exams... the death rate is so high."
Sakura glanced at Oboro and Moka's corpses not far away.
They had killed two people not long after entering.
There were only so many examinees. What Anko said about eliminating at least half of them was definitely no lie.
After Uchiha Sasuke recovered somewhat, he sneered.
"Just as Naruto said, this few deaths don't amount to anything."
"That Old Man's Chunin Exams have no rules."
"To become a Chunin, even getting first place afterward isn't enough. It depends on what the people above think."
"What a disgusting bunch of old men. They don't even follow the rules they set themselves!"
And when it came to killing people—
Gaara's group on the other side had killed even more.
They had wiped out two teams the moment they entered.
"Ah—!!!"
The three of them were restrained by Gaara's sand.
The scent of death made them cry in terror.
"Bye-bye~"
