"Huh? No, buddy, what did you do? You just advanced like that? I'm not having it!"
"Yeah, you're just a freeloader, aren't you? I saw you cheat just now, examiner, I'm reporting you. I saw that kid cheating."
"No, buddy, is it your turn to win?"
"Stop, stop, stop yelling. I won this through my own merit, and you're still yelling? The examiners didn't say anything, but you're already yelling."
"Examiner, I'm not having it! Why did they advance while we didn't?"
Ibiki Morino quite satisfied with these people's reactions. "That's more like it," he thought. "Did you think you could pass by answering a few questions from the elders correctly?"
In this exam, only I, Ibiki Morino, have the final say.
"This last question is mainly to test whether you have the courage and ability to risk your lives. As ninjas, you have to face danger. If you always think about running away when faced with danger, what kind of ninja are you?"
"Placing your hopes on tomorrow? On that uncertain future? What's the difference between such a person and a piece of trash? They don't deserve to be a ninja at all."
At this point, Ibiki Morino faint smile.
"That's why I let those who chose to answer pass directly, and also why I eliminated others. There are never any ninjas who hesitate on the battlefield."
His words exploded like a muffled thunderclap in the crowd. Some felt regret, some felt relief, and all sorts of emotions filled the examinees' chests. But they all shared a common thought: Was this Ibiki Morino his little life? No, they were their little life to begin with. Okay, then it's alright.
Just as everyone was filled with regret, someone suddenly kicked the glass of the examination room and jumped in from the outside.
The newcomer had a purple ponytail and wore a yellow coat. Even this outfit couldn't hide her impressive figure. Underneath, she wore chainmail, a material unique to the Hokage world. Through the chainmail, one could vaguely see her voluptuous breasts, which jiggled slightly with her movements.
Some of the examinees in the examination room swallowed hard, their Adam's apples bobbing, their eyes fixed on the horrifying weapon, their minds racing with all sorts of thoughts.
"I am the examiner for your second examination room, Mitarashi Anko. Now, all those who have passed, follow me."
As Mitarashi Anko finished speaking, many people stood up in the classroom, making her look at Ibiki Morino with some displeasure.
" Ibiki, what's going on? How come there are so many qualified people this time?"
Ibiki Morino simply turned her head away, refusing to look at her. If there were too few qualified people, was it her fault? If there were too many, was it also her fault? It was better to remain silent.
"Tch, an old relic."
Seeing that Ibiki Morino ignoring her, Anko wisely left.
"Let's go, everyone."
With a wave of her hand, Mitarashi Anko led everyone to the second examination venue, the Forest of Death.
On the way, Naruto kept glancing at Mitarashi Anko, who was walking ahead of him. To be precise, he was looking at the Cursed Seal of Heaven on her neck. If he wasn't mistaken, that was the Cursed Seal Orochimaru used for reincarnation.
Just as Naruto was pondering the problem, Mitarashi Anko appeared directly in front of Naruto, and a delicate fragrance wafted into his nostrils, causing his pupils to widen slightly in surprise.
Mitarashi Anko hooked Naruto's chin with her hand, and seeing the fleeting panic in his eyes, she couldn't help but chuckle. This brat is really bold, daring to look at her so presumptuously. What an impolite brat.
"Hey kid, have you seen enough?"
Looking at Anko's squinting eyes, Naruto finally snapped out of his daze. At such close range, Naruto was practically aiming down sights, his eyes glued to Anko's " Chibaku Tensei " ( Chibaku Tensei? Those who know, know).
There's no way around it; sometimes you can't blame others for not being gentlemanly. Bumping into someone with the ball is really going too far. If you can tolerate that and not even glance at them, then you're a thumbs-up JPG.
"Ahem, no, I was just curious..." Naruto quickly looked away, trying to sound calm. He was joking, after all, he was a gentleman.
"Oh? Little brother, what are you curious about? Are you curious about where your older sister is?"
At this moment, Anko crossed her arms over her chest, and the two balls were squeezed and deformed under the pressure. Her tone was teasing, and seeing Naruto's embarrassed appearance, she couldn't help but feel playful, as if she wanted to tease the good-looking little guy in front of her.
"Curious, your Cursed Seal of Heaven..."
Naruto leaned forward slightly, speaking softly at a distance where Anko could hear him.
Upon hearing this, Anko paused almost imperceptibly, silently backing away to create distance between herself and Naruto, glaring at him with hostility.
"How did you know? Could it be that you are...? No, impossible, you don't smell like him."
Seeing Anko becoming increasingly flustered, Naruto laughed. This wicked woman who dared to run him over with her baby in her arms—she's behaved now, isn't she?
"I'll tell you after I finish my exam."
After Naruto finished speaking, he snatched Anko life-or-death agreement from Anko's waist, gave it to Sasuke and Hinata, and then signed his name.
Seeing this, Anko was also somewhat displeased. Was this brat playing a trick on her?
"Tch, how boring. Come over here and sign the waiver of your life or death. After you've signed it, you can enter the Forest of Death behind me. That's right, this is your second examination hall."
Afterwards, Mitarashi Anko gave everyone a brief explanation of the rules of the exam and then let them enter the Forest of Death. Each team was randomly given a Heaven Scroll or Earth Scroll. The candidates had to collect Heaven Scroll and the Earth Scroll within five days and then gather at the very center of the Forest of Death.
"Hey, you pervert, don't die in there. I don't want to go in and collect your corpse."
Naruto waved his hand, ignoring Anko's words, and led Sasuke and Hinata into the Forest of Death.
Seeing that Naruto was ignoring her, Anko pouted unhappily. At first she was giggling, but now she wasn't. She really wanted to know why this little Naruto knew about the Cursed Seal, and even more specifically, the Cursed Seal of Heaven.
The strange thing is that Naruto doesn't have Orochimaru's scent at all, and now it's Anko's turn to worry.
Of course, Naruto was unaware of all this; he was leading his friends deeper into the Forest of Death.
Naruto looked at Sasuke curiously, wondering if Orochimaru was still interested in Sasuke. But then he thought, since he was already here, why not try using Sasuke as a bait?
Upon entering the forest, the oppressive feeling brought by the giant trees was immediately apparent. Visibility gradually disappeared as the group walked deeper into the forest, leaving only a gloomy landscape. And in those dark places, it seemed that some unknown dangers were lurking.
Sasuke was unaware that he was about to be used as a nest-hunting tool, and looking at the surrounding environment of the Forest of Death, he was even a little excited.
