Forest of Death Trial, First Encounter with Orochimaru

I hadn't even understood the questions yet, and someone had already finished writing for Lin Fan and handed in the paper?

What a drag, now I have to write it myself. If only I knew genjutsu to make someone else take the test for me, that would be great.

Shikamaru let out a long sigh, unable to hide his immense envy of Lin Fan.

Hmph, thanks a lot, Lin Fan. I think I've completely seen through the true purpose of this first exam.

I am absolutely going to pass this test!

Sasuke curled the corner of his mouth and muttered confidently.

The sky has cleared, the rain has stopped, and the Second Pillar thinks he's got it again?

Naruto, sitting at his desk, heard his seatmate Sasuke muttering and spoke with a look of utter disdain.

Shut your mouths, all of you!

Lin Fan, while I've accepted your paper as valid, that doesn't mean you've passed the first exam yet.

Only when your two teammates from the same squad also pass will I consider you to have cleared this stage!

Ibiki said with a stern expression and a chilling tone.

Sure enough, upon hearing Ibiki's words, the examinees all calmed down one after another.

Many people in the room even cast sympathetic glances toward Lin Fan.

Even if you're the first to hand in your paper, aren't you still at risk of being eliminated?

No problem, I have great faith in the abilities of my teammates!

Lin Fan continued to smile.

Not only is he personally powerful, but he's also willing to trust his teammates? This Lin Fan is truly a natural-born leader.

Ibiki couldn't help but sigh to himself.

Then find a seat next to the proctors and stay there. No more using genjutsu on the examiners.

The exam continues!

Soon, after learning from Lin Fan that there were people in the room who knew the answers, everyone began to show off their unique skills to gather information.

Of course, Naruto, who was scratching his head and rolling his Byakugan, kept making faces like this:

(⊙o⊙?)(︶︿︶)oΣ;(°△°|||)︴

Alright, there are fifteen minutes left in the exam. I will now announce the final question!

Ibiki said with a grave expression.

Beside him, Lin Fan curled his lips upward.

Is Ibiki's mental interrogation finally coming?

I must state first: once you answer the tenth question, whether the previous nine were right or wrong, you will pass this first exam!

At this moment, upon hearing these words, Naruto finally broke into a smile as radiant as a blooming chrysanthemum.

Even though I couldn't do any of the first nine questions... there's still a chance!

Ibiki's mouth twitched, and he shifted his tone: However, if you choose to answer and get it wrong, you will be banned from ever taking the Chunin Exams again for the rest of your lives!!!!

Whether you choose to answer or quit, that is for you to decide.

At this moment, Ibiki's pressure swept across the entire exam hall.

An uproar broke out instantly.

Many examinees broke into a cold sweat as they struggled with the choice.

A candidate sitting next to Naruto raised his hand immediately.

I don't want to be a genin for the rest of my life. I choose to quit.

Number 50 is eliminated, along with number 111 and number 130.

Soon, under the mental pressure exerted by Ibiki, many people raised their hands to quit the Chunin Exams.

At this moment, Naruto also lowered his head and slowly raised his left hand.

Seeing Naruto raise his hand, Ibiki couldn't help but glance at Lin Fan to the side.

What a pity. Is a genius-level ninja like Lin Fan also destined to wait another two years to take the exam?

Yet Lin Fan remained relaxed and composed.

BANG!!!!

Everyone heard a violent slam.

Don't underestimate me. I won't run away.

I'm taking the test, even if I'm stuck as a genin for the rest of my life!

"I will also rely on my sheer willpower to become Hokage, I'm not afraid at all!"

After Naruto finished speaking excitedly, he nodded firmly at Lin Fan!

"I didn't expect there to be so many outstanding little ones in this batch!"

"Did the words of this little one also strengthen everyone's confidence?"

"Actually, there was no tenth question at all; this was just a test of your willpower."

"Congratulations to everyone here for passing the first test of the Chunin Exams."

At this moment, Ibiki finally revealed a kind smile.

After the first exam ended, Ibiki allowed the passing candidates to rest for a day, instructing them to gather at the Forest of Death tomorrow morning for the second exam.

After Lin Fan left the exam hall and parted ways with Naruto and Sasuke, he happened to run into Kakashi, who was gathering at the examiner's checkpoint.

"Lin Fan, I just heard the candidates talking about how you were the first to hand in your paper in this Chunin Exams. How did you manage that?"

Kakashi said with a smile, his eyes squinting into crescents.

"It was nothing. I just cast a bit of genjutsu on an examiner who was hiding among the candidates, and had him fill in my name after he finished the paper."

Lin Fan said with a calm and indifferent expression.

Hearing that even Ibiki, a special jonin of the village, had suffered a loss at Lin Fan's hands, the smile on Kakashi's face grew even wider.

This young man truly didn't play by the rules.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have fallen for his genjutsu so easily himself.

"Yo, Kakashi, are you here to gather so early?"

"So this is Lin Fan, the one who cast genjutsu on the examiner during the test? I just ran into Ibiki, and he was complaining to me about what happened during the exam."

At this moment, a beautiful woman with deep purple hair walked over, eating dango while chatting with Kakashi and Lin Fan.

It was none other than Anko Mitarashi.

"Indeed, is it a surprise? Is it unexpected?"

Kakashi also chatted with Anko with a smile on his face.

Meanwhile, Lin Fan was silently looking Anko up and down.

At this time, her appearance was quite elegant, and her figure was top-tier.

She was one of the best among all the jonin in Konoha.

It was a pity that he didn't know if it was because she ate too much dango and red bean soup.

By the time Boruto started, she had simply ballooned into a ball.

Did Anko Mitarashi directly turn into Anko Sweet Potato?

Lin Fan couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"Lin Fan, you managed to exploit a loophole in Ibiki's written exam last round, but it certainly won't be that easy in the exam I'm proctoring."

Anko said to Lin Fan with a smile before leaving.

Lin Fan nodded in agreement.

After all, he would have to face Snake Auntie head-on tomorrow, so naturally, it wouldn't be easy.

Early the next morning, outside the Forest of Death.

"This is the Forest of Death; you will soon be able to experience its terror."

Anko said with a serious expression.

At this moment, Naruto, looking disdainful, stuck out his little butt and wiggled it while mimicking Anko's words.

"No matter how you try to scare me, I won't be afraid."

Naruto then said firmly.

Swish.

At this moment, a Kunai shot directly toward Naruto, slicing across his cheek.

The next second, Anko appeared directly behind Naruto using a Body Flicker technique.

"Children like you are usually the first to die."

And just at this moment, Lin Fan saw a long tongue wrap around that Kunai and bring it to Anko's side.

The owner of the long tongue was none other than the science expert Orochimaru, who was currently wearing a woman's face.

(Thank you all for your support and five-star reviews, thank you everyone.)
