Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Watching signal flares burst one after another in the sky, Shinji strolled through the Forest of Death with an utterly speechless look on his face.
At this rate, it obviously wasn't the work of the interception teams. The students must have already begun fighting each other on a large scale.
Perhaps this was exactly what the Ninja Academy wanted!
Watching the bursts of signal flares blossom in the sky, Karin looked worried.
The nearest one was only a few hundred meters away, perhaps just a few patches of woods and grass between them.
Haku asked Shinji, "Shinji, are you sure it's okay for us to take our time like this?"
Shinji waved a hand. "Relax. As long as we reach the central tower, we pass. As for our ranking, do you really care?"
Haku shook his head. "I don't mind either way."
"I-I don't mind either," Karin quickly added.
"Then there you go!" Shinji smiled. "Actually, I'm a Medical Ninja. I'm no good at fighting and killing!"
Just then, a group of students darted out of the bushes.
Haku and Karin immediately went on guard.
"Oh no, it's Shinji!"
Just as Haku and Karin thought the group was about to attack, the moment they recognized Shinji, they scattered like startled rabbits, fleeing into the bushes without even looking back!
"See?" Shinji said. "Everyone knows I'm a Medical Ninja. No one's going to attack me!"
Haku and Karin exchanged glances!

Shizune held onto the trunk and gazed into the distance. "I didn't expect it to get this intense. It hasn't been long, and so many teams have already been eliminated!"
"Mm. Looks like only the teams with those few brats will make it to the central tower," Anko said.
