Simulation: Starting from Under One Person

Xiao Nan spread her hands, indicating that she didn't see it, so how could she recall it?

“Emmm…” Fang Rui recalled for a while and realized that there was indeed no one else present except him; they were all souls.

Oops~ I made a mistake, this is a little embarrassing!

"Is that so..." Fang Rui feigned nonchalance, abruptly changing the subject. "Although you haven't seen me demonstrate my strength, you should know how powerful I am. There's no need to worry about such trivial matters..."

Let's talk about the schedule!

"Three days from now, the first competition will be held. Are you going to follow the usual rules for the written test, or do you want to try something different?"

"Why don't you give me your opinion first?" As soon as Xiao Nan heard Fang Rui's tone, she knew he was changing the subject, but she didn't press him. Instead, she went along with what Fang Rui was saying.

"How about we do a 'let's all take on the challenge together'?"

None of the people present understood the meaning of that sentence, so Xiao Nan said, "Explain it in detail."

"Simply put, it involves setting up some levels and having ninjas pass through them within a set time. Ninjas who successfully pass all the levels within the time limit advance to the next round, while those who fail are eliminated."

“That sounds interesting,” Kaguya suddenly interjected. “I can help with the level design.”

As she spoke, images of extreme environments flashed through her mind, all from her own little world.

"very good."

Fang Rui was naturally very happy to have free workers, and since Hamura and Hagoromo were traveling with Kaguya, all three of them were present.

In other words, he had three people at his beck and call without having to pay them.

"How do you plan to set up the levels?" Konan also found it quite interesting, but the Chunin Exams were a very important matter and couldn't be done carelessly.

"Originally, I wanted to arrange the levels according to 'moral, intellectual, physical, aesthetic, and labor education,' but after thinking about it carefully for a while, I realized that the probability of a ninja developing all-round qualities in morality, intelligence, physical education, aesthetics, and labor education is very low, so..."

"Let's change it to a quiz task. Each level has a task, some of which are knowledge taught at the Ninja Academy, and some are tasks that need to be completed."

"As for how many levels to set up, my suggestion is to build a maze and then set up levels in some key locations within it. The entire competition can be broadcast live. What do you think?"

"I can provide the venue, but as for the live stream... you'll have to figure that out yourself." Kaguya offered her unconditional support, finding the whole thing quite interesting.

“We can help,” Hagoromo and Hamura said after exchanging glances for a moment.

Kaguya lacked a proper understanding of the strength of ordinary ninjas, so if she were asked to set up the area...

Yu Yi seemed to see souls surging into the Pure Land one after another.

"Welcome." There's no reason to turn away free labor that's offered up on our doorstep.

"Let's do it your way." Xiao Nan said, picking up a slice of grilled meat from Black Zetsu and eating it. "Not bad, very delicious."

"These are for Mother. If you want to eat them, grill them yourself!" Black Zetsu transformed into a lid and covered the porcelain plate, not giving Konan a chance to steal the grilled meat.

"How stingy." Xiao Nan muttered, put down her chopsticks, and got up to walk out of the private room.

As he passed by Fang Rui, he said, "I will select the candidate as soon as possible."

"Hmm." Fang Rui nodded slightly, without saying anything.

After Konan left, Fang Rui sat down next to Kaguya, and the two began to discuss how to build the maze. Hagoromo and Hamura occasionally offered their opinions.

Black Zetsu, who has the most experience among them, can often provide insightful and excellent answers.

With everyone's efforts, the design of the maze gradually became more sophisticated.

at the same time……

As Konan, who usually manages Amegakure, she has some understanding of the village's ninjas. She knows some talented genin, such as Hydrangea, who has a talent for space-time ninjutsu.

After all, it was obtained in exchange for an S-rank ninjutsu, so we must choose carefully. Talent is one aspect, loyalty is another...

While Konan and the others were busy selecting candidates and preparing the examination venue, people from other ninja villages were searching for Fang Rui's whereabouts...

Due to various circumstances, everyone has wishes they want to fulfill, but very few people have the ability to do so. When they hear that someone can help them fulfill their wishes, regardless of whether they are rich or poor, they all seek out Fang Rui.

At least get to know people first, so you don't meet them later and not recognize them.

Not wanting to be stared at like a monkey, Fang Rui avoided everyone, leaving the group searching for him in Rain Village empty-handed, their only find being some insignificant rumors.

Meanwhile, those who brought ample funds also failed to meet Fang Rui, leaving them arriving full of anticipation only to wait impatiently...

Madara Uchiha did contact Fang Rui using his communication ring, but Fang Rui told him to wait a while, which made Madara Uchiha's temper a bit bad recently.

He was filled with the joy of seeing his younger brother, yet also the restlessness of waiting. He exuded a volatile aura that seemed to say, "I'm so annoyed, don't mess with me," coupled with his cold face and his former infamous reputation...

Those who happened to meet him were terrified, fearing they would be targeted by the ninja world's demon.

and……

This incident attracted a large crowd, many of whom harbored grudges. Perhaps because hope was at stake, these people didn't immediately engage in a fight upon meeting, but the atmosphere was unlikely to be pleasant, with numerous brawls breaking out...

Two more days later...

The candidates from Amegakure have completed their training. One team is a puppet team, consisting of three special wooden puppets, controlled by Hagoromo, Hamura, and Kaguya.

The other team was a regular ninja team that had been strengthened. Perhaps because they had trained for too long in the Limited Tsukuyomi, three members of this team encountered some problems, but the problems were minor and would not affect their subsequent Chunin Exams.

Furthermore, there is still a day before the Chunin Exams begin, which should be enough to adjust one's condition... right?

With that in mind, Fang Rui contacted some people, mostly members of an unnamed organization, and a few relatives and friends of the organization's members.

After all, they are his subordinates, so it is only right that they have the right of first refusal.

First, they collect money, and then they gradually fulfill everyone's wishes.

To be fair, most of these people share the same wish: to resurrect someone.

Fang Rui said that this was within his expectations...

After all, this is the ninja world, a place of constant fighting and killing...

Chapter 264 The game begins

One day later...

The Chunin Exams officially began, and all spectators headed to the arena's stands. Five enormous screens floated directly above the arena, displaying images of the maze.

At the entrance to the maze, genin from various ninja villages were listening to an ordinary rain ninja explain the rules.

As the explanation ended, everyone entered the maze one after another, and the teams dispersed. The screen was then divided into dozens of parts. When a team encountered other teams or levels, the screen of that team would be enlarged, while the screens of the rest of the team would be shrunk.

Inside the labyrinth, the puppets controlled by Kaguya and the others moved forward slowly, unlike the other teams who were in a hurry.

"Turn left at the next intersection...go straight for fifty meters...the answer is twenty-one seconds..."

After a while, Kaguya suddenly stopped and muttered to herself, "It feels... boring!"

Hagoromo and Hamura: “…………”

You were in charge of building the maze, and you were watching over the level design, which meant that all the answers were already in your mind...

Novels whose endings you already know are naturally quite uninteresting to read.

"...Let's clear the level as soon as possible!"

As she said this, Kaguya increased her speed and then encountered several teams being chased by the Salamander.

The salamanders in the maze, though only the size of a truck, are quite powerful. This is partly due to their thick skin and tough flesh, making them relatively resistant to damage, and partly because their poison is extremely potent. Without proper countermeasures, being poisoned is tantamount to being eliminated...

Within the purple poisonous fog, the three puppets, who did not need to breathe, watched the poisoned people collapse on the ground. After a moment of silence, they took out simple gas masks from their ninja tool bags and put them on, not forgetting to pretend to take an antidote.

"Hamura, get them out of the area shrouded in poisonous fog." Hagoromo's gaze fell on the group of people lying on the ground, their faces contorted in pain.

“Okay, big brother.” Hamura had no objection to this.

With a gentle stretch of his five fingers, more than a dozen chakra threads extended out and wrapped around those people. With a wave of his hand, Hamura sent the group into the air, flying out of the poisonous fog.

At the same time, Kaguya sped towards the salamander, a large amount of chakra coiling around her right fist.

Twist your waist, swing your arm, and throw a punch...

It pierced through the salamander, killing it instantly.

"So weak~"

Kaguya looked down at her spotless, white fist, unsure whether she was implying the salamander was weak or the puppet's body was weak.

After the three left, a group of Rain Ninja arrived at the scene, fed the poisoned ninja the antidote, and then led them out of the maze.

These people were already out of the game the moment they were poisoned.

On the other side, the examinees from Konoha Village were the "tough guys" who had not yet been promoted to Chunin; to be precise, they were everyone except Shikamaru, Choji, and Sasuke.

Ino temporarily joins Naruto's team, making a total of three teams participating in the Chunin Exams.

Teams 3 and 8 progressed smoothly without encountering any other teams, but the temporary Team 7, consisting of Naruto Uzumaki, Sakura Haruno, and Ino Yamanaka, did not fare so well.

"what is this?"

Looking at the minotaur three meters away, carrying a double-edged axe, white mist spewed from its nostrils, its reddish-brown fur covered its entire body, and its scarlet eyes revealed chaos and killing intent. It was clear at a glance that it was a difficult monster to deal with.

Naruto's expression was somewhat blank. Comparing the sizes of the two, he realized that the monster's arm was as big as his whole body, and the gleaming axe blade was even more intimidating.

'How...how do I fight this?'

After thinking it over for a while, Naruto Uzumaki decided to send out a shadow clone to test the waters.

However, before he could take action, he heard Ino say, "I'll take control of it later, you guys seize the opportunity to attack."

“Okay.” Sakura Haruno, who was very familiar with Ino, immediately understood what her best friend meant and nodded to show that she understood.

Step back half a step with your right leg, squat slightly, inhale slowly, and gradually tense your body, as if gathering strength...

"Eh~" Naruto looked left and right, seemingly not quite understanding the situation.

"It's now……"

Ino let out a low growl and made aiming gestures with both hands: "Mind Transfer Technique!"

At the same time, Sakura Haruno shattered the floor tiles and shot out like an arrow, a gust of wind surging around her. In an instant, Sakura Haruno arrived beside the minotaur and delivered a long-awaited punch to the minotaur's abdomen...

boom----

The minotaur was instantly blasted away. Ino, who had just retreated, saw Naruto still standing there in a daze and immediately urged, "Naruto, hurry up and go!"

"Oh, oh, oh..." Naruto, who had been stunned by Sakura Haruno's incredible power, immediately came to his senses and answered like a crowing bird, while running towards the minotaur who was getting up from the ground.

'He's really tough!'
