The proctor for the second stage of the Forest of Death practical exam was Minato.
Without Minato around, work became boring.
Afterward, Kushina recalled the faces she had reviewed earlier.
"By the way, how is that young man with the somewhat foolish brute strength doing now?"
Kushina turned and asked her colleague.
"We just assigned him a job carrying coffins. He should have left Konoha Cemetery by now and be getting ready for lunch."
Her colleague blinked, checked the time, and answered.
"Everything he's done these past two days has been normal. Nothing suspicious."
Because he had no bloodline and could neither form hand seals nor use ninjutsu.
Naturally, even the watchers had become careless.
After all.
Who would think that a refugee without a bloodline could become a threat?
Besides...
That young man would still come tonight as scheduled to report his whereabouts and have his records documented.
That was part of the surveillance, to confirm that residents were not lying.
There were no major problems with anything.
"Mm, that's good."
Kushina stood and stretched.
There was still one hour until noon.
"Let's get off work too~."
After lunch, she would go find Minato and give him a surprise.
Besides.
Hanzo of the Salamander, the Demigod, had come to Konoha for this Chunin Exam.
His granddaughter was taking part in the assessment as well.
Both Minato and Kakashi had met the grandfather and granddaughter.
She was the only one who had not met them yet.
She would take this opportunity to see them for herself~.
Mingren blended into the transportation crew and quickly left Konoha.
Leaving the village under the guise of work was indeed very easy.
Once outside Konoha.
Following the information he had gathered, Mingren headed straight for the Forest of Death in the outskirts.
There.
