The unusual activity in the Death Forest was quickly noticed by the ninjas stationed nearby.

To avoid any disturbance caused by spies or other enemies, the police department reacted quickly.

A short while later, a young Uchiha Jonin appeared in the Forest of Death with a small team and found Orochimaru by following the source of the snakes.

"Orochimaru, Jonin, what's going on?"

"Uchiha Yatsuho from the police department? It's nothing, just a small trial for the new students."

Orochimaru stood atop the head of a large brown snake, one hand behind his back, facing the Eighth Hokage Uchiha. He seemed to be in a good mood, a smile playing on his lips.

"A newly admitted student?"

The twenty-five-year-old Uchiha Yasho glanced at Uzuki Ruri beside Orochimaru, and then at Sarutobi Enjun, who was still perched on one of the heads of the two-headed snake.

He didn't know Ruri Uzuki, but Sarutobi Enjun, as the son of the Hokage, and Uchiha Yasho, as a deputy captain of a police branch with a high position, knew his identity and that he was a genin who had just graduated this year.

"Is it a newly graduated genin? Why make such a big fuss?"

Uchiha Hachimoku looked at Orochimaru and asked.

"Without some intensity, it won't have much of a training effect on him. After all, my student is a newly emerging genius of your Uchiha clan."

Orochimaru said with a smile.

A genius of the Uchiha clan?

That sounds pretty normal... right?

Uchiha Hachimoku looked at the surging swarm of snakes with suspicion, then a formula came to mind.

Uchiha = the strongest.

The Uchiha genius = the strongest genius.

Using such outrageous methods on the strongest genius seems quite reasonable... what a load of rubbish!

Even the genius of the Uchiha clan, the Eighth Hokage of Uchiha, had never seen someone in their genin days, or even just after graduating as a genin, capable of handling such a situation.

Who are the graduates from our clan this year?

The Uchiha police officers following behind Tetsuka also joined in the discussion.

"Those who can be led by Jonin must be members of the elite class. I think there are only Inahisa from Nobuyuki's family and Gen, the son of the deceased Taki. I heard that he did well in the Ninja Academy."

"It should be Yuan. I heard my son say the other day that Yuan won the top spot this year and that he wants to be the top spot next year too. But I don't think it's likely. The top spot in his year was always occupied by a blond commoner kid. I'll be satisfied if he can stay in the top ten in the elite class."

"To avoid any accidents, can we go take a look together?"

Uchiha Hachimoku looked at Orochimaru and said.

"sure."

Orochimaru remained calm and composed.

"Yuto, take the others and explain to the outside world that an exercise is underway here. To avoid danger, tell the other ninjas not to train in this area for the time being. I'll stay here and follow along."

Uchiha Hachimoku immediately gave the order.

A few minutes later, at the center of the Death Forest.

Uchiha Gen was surprised to find that he seemed to have nowhere to run.

Snakes were everywhere, there was nowhere to hide, and every so often a large snake would block the way.

Even though it wasn't as large as the black-scaled serpent we encountered before, it was still not something we could easily deal with.

"This is really troublesome. But is it reasonable to use this kind of lineup to deal with a newly graduated genin like me?"

Uchiha Gen stood on a thick tree trunk, looking at the snakes around him, and then at the large snake in the distance with several human figures faintly visible on its head. His expression was visibly strained.

I just wanted to see what kind of ninjutsu it was, why did I have to go to all this trouble?

But with only ten minutes left, it was simply impossible for him to give up.

Let's see if we can actually pull through.

Before the snakes could catch up, Uchiha Gen hurriedly took out a soldier's ration pill from his ninja tool pouch and swallowed it. Then he wrapped the last few elastic steel wires around the kunai and threw them in all directions, setting up a net array with Uchiha Gen at the center.

The swarm of snakes surged forward, and Gen Uchiha once again unleashed his ninjutsu.

"Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique!"

Lines of fire rose from the ground, and the moment they touched the dry grass, they created towering walls of fire that mercilessly devoured the leaping snakes.

Not all snakes are afraid of the high temperature of flames, but doing so can at least block a significant portion of them and reduce the pressure.

As the flames rose, Uchiha Gen poured the last small bottle of oil into his mouth, and with a flick of his wrists, two kunai with gleaming cold tips appeared in his hands.

Next, he would have to rely on his physical skills and the use of ninja tools to entangle himself with these snakes.

Ninjutsu is reserved for dealing with even stronger giant snakes.

Although only ten minutes remained, Uchiha Gen was only twelve years old and his body was not yet fully developed. Even though his solid physical foundation and the bloodline of the Uchiha clan gave him far more chakra than ordinary civilian ninjas, he did not have the Sage Body of Senju Hashirama, nor was he a Jinchuriki who sealed the Tailed Beasts. He could not fire continuously like a cannon.

The closer we get to the end, the calmer we should be, and the more rational we must be in allocating our chakra!

Sharp blades flashed, and snake blood splattered.

Uchiha Gen's agile figure darted and moved nimbly across the giant, burning trees.

Although he hadn't awakened the Sharingan yet, thanks to the effects of sensory ninjutsu, Gen Uchiha was able to react in time to the attacks coming his way.

Moreover, compared to the Sharingan, sensory ninjutsu has a significant advantage—it can cover blind spots in the field of vision, especially behind you.

Sensory ninjutsu becomes even more useful when facing a sneak attack.

far away.

The Eighth Hokage of Uchiha had bloodshot eyes, and his three-tomoe Sharingan eyes spun rapidly, taking in every move of Gen Uchiha.

While the Sharingan is not as useful as the Byakugan for long-distance observation, it still has a significant advantage over ordinary eyes when conducting reconnaissance and observation within the field of vision.

"Ouch...that really hurts, that snake bite."

On the back of the two-headed snake, Sarutobi Enjun, who had just woken up, gasped for breath, his eyes fixed on the battle in the distance.

"It's just pain, nothing serious, just superficial wounds, nothing poisonous. Go back and buy some of the Nara clan's secret external medicine to apply, and you'll be fine tomorrow."

Orochimaru said calmly, looking at the battle between Uchiha Gen in the distance, somewhat dissatisfied.

Soon after, Uchiha Gen discovered that the giant snakes that had been hiding on the periphery and eyeing him menacingly had also pounced on him.

There's no way to conserve chakra any longer!
