Naruto: I, Naruto, started with the Rinnegan

Chapter 84 The Forest of Death

After receiving the test paper, Naruto quickly glanced at it and then just sat there staring blankly at the table.

"I've seen the look in your eyes; this is a question I can't answer."

Theoretical knowledge — Naruto is actually alright, but this test paper has many questions that are beyond the scope of the curriculum, and Naruto simply cannot answer them.

"Anyway, there's a tenth question, so I can just lie down and pass—"

That's what I think, but if I can get a high score—Naruto wouldn't mind.

He quietly used the Illusionary Body Technique to send a wave of thought to Fu Hua outside.

One minute later, Fu Hua's mental form appeared in the sealed space and told Naruto some bad news.

"Your teacher refuses to help you cheat."

Kakashi, I'll remember this grudge.

"Fu Hua, I remember you were a top student, can't you do it yourself?"

Naruto turned his attention to Fu Hua.

Fu Hua retorted, "You clearly know that I'm not a top student. My knowledge initially came from you, and what I learned later was physical skills, which have nothing to do with the questions on your test papers."

The Inch Heart Fist Technique is adapted from the superhuman strength technique provided by Kushina. Fu Hua has studied it for several years and has already made considerable progress.

As for the knowledge of other ninjas—Fu Hua knew nothing about it.

"Naruto-kun————"

Hinata, who was writing furiously, noticed Naruto's blank exam paper and subtly pushed her own paper outwards slightly.

"I'm almost finished writing, do you want to see it?"

Naruto turned his gaze to the podium, where Ibiki sat upright, staring at him without any emotion.

"—Thank you, my fiancée, but no need, I have other ideas."

The solution is to play mahjong.

Naruto's spirit sank into the sealed space, summoned Fu Hua, and woke up Kurama. The two of them and the fox sat down at a table and started playing mahjong, completely ignoring what was happening outside.

"Isn't he afraid of being eliminated?"

Ibiki looked at Naruto, who was lying down and sleeping, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

Although he had the tenth question, no one else knew it.

"I thought you were a big asset, but it turns out you're a liability?!"

Sakura, who had just finished writing the answers, looked at Naruto with despair in her heart. She was confident in her theoretical knowledge and was sure she would get a perfect score.

What's the use of a perfect score if your teammates get zero? You'll still be eliminated.

Sakura, let me copy the answers.

Ino uses her Mind Transfer Technique to enter Sakura's body, preparing to copy her.

No way! I'm annoyed!

Sakura punched Ino away, who was completely bewildered. What happened? The jutsu failed?!

Unconvinced, Ino used her Mind Transfer Jutsu again, only to be punched by Sakura once more.

"Sakura, our friendship is over —"

What a load of rubbish best friend! She won't even let me argue with her about the answers. She's so stingy.

Ino was extremely annoyed, but she had no choice but to change the target of her spell.

"What is that guy doing?!"

'

Sasuke activated his Sharingan and finished the exam by imitating the writing patterns of others, only to realize that he had a teammate who was just lying there doing nothing.

His brow furrowed, but quickly relaxed.

If he doesn't pass, so be it. It doesn't matter whether he's a Chunin or a Genin; it won't affect his ability to improve.

"Alright, now let's reveal the tenth question—"

Time was up, everyone stopped writing, and Ibixi solemnly announced the rules for the tenth exam question.

"Question 10 is your choice. If you don't take it, you get zero points. If you choose to take it but answer it wrong, then the person who answered the question and the other two people in the team will be permanently disqualified from participating in the Chunin Exams."

The classroom was buzzing with discussion, and the students were extremely conflicted.

Take the test—if you answer incorrectly, you'll be forced to endure it forever, and nobody can stand that.

Not taking the exam would be a waste of this opportunity.

Hmm, wasting an opportunity doesn't seem like a big deal. We can always do it next time.

I give up.

-

A young man raised his hand, and his two teammates, looking furious, could only leave the classroom in frustration.

Stepping out of the examination room, the three exchanged glances, their faces revealing strange smiles.

That's right, they are Toda!

Inside the examination room, some people took the lead in leaving, and more and more teams gradually gave up.

Since Naruto wasn't causing trouble, more test takers chose to give up.

When Ibixi announced that all those who remained had passed, only 20 groups of candidates remained in the examination room.

A short while later, a loud bang was heard, the glass shattered, and Mitarashi Anko made her appearance.

Naruto finally opened his eyes, looked at the sweet potato, and threatened the examinees, saying that half of them would be eliminated in the next exam. Then he threw out a smoke bomb and disappeared on the spot.

"You're finally awake—"

Naruto turned around and saw Sakura's resentful face.

"What's wrong, Sakura? What's bothering you? Tell me so I can cheer you up—cough cough, let me criticize you a bit—"

"Damn it, I heard you say you were happy—" Sakura's resentment seemed to solidify into a tangible form as she said with a gloomy face, "Have you considered Sasuke and me? Getting zero points isn't just your problem—"

Naruto waved his hand, interrupting, "I know everything, there won't be any problems."

Sakura thought Naruto was just being wise after the event, while Sasuke seemed thoughtful—in his memory, Naruto had always been mysterious, and might have known all along that there would be a tenth question.

As Ibishi was collecting the papers, he couldn't help but glance at him sideways. Was this kid bragging—or telling the truth?

The next day.

The weather was fine and sunny, with a gentle breeze.

Training Ground 44, also known as the Forest of Death, is located near the entrance.

All the ninja teams that passed the Chunin Exams gathered here.

Mitarashi Azuko announces the exam rules.

The candidates first signed a waiver of life and death, then lined up to draw lots to receive scrolls, and entered the Forest of Death according to their assigned entrances.

The Death Forest is a primeval landscape with unusually large trees, some of which have roots that are as tall as a person.

The presence of ferocious beasts and venomous snakes from time to time further amplifies the terrifying atmosphere of the Death Forest.

-

"Sasuke, I—I'm so scared."

Sakura pretended to be weak and helpless, leaning against Sasuke, only to be pushed away by Sasuke with obvious disgust.

Annoying woman, why do you have to bother me? Why don't you bother Naruto instead?

"This is a great place to chop down trees —"

After chopping down trees for seven or eight years, Naruto had stripped a large area of ​​the forest surrounding Konoha bare.

Now, Naruto can break a tree in two or three punches, and the training effect is getting worse and worse.

The giant trees in the Death Forest are different; their bark is thick and durable.

Bang!

Naruto suddenly threw a punch, creating a hole in the tree trunk. The giant tree shook, and poisonous insects fell to the ground.

call----

Naruto opened his mouth and exhaled a gust of wind, blowing the poisonous insects far away, slap slap slap—

drop on the floor.

"Hey! Naruto! What are you doing?!"

Sakura belatedly realized what was happening, pointed at the poisonous insects on the ground, and roared at Naruto, "Those are bloodsucking insects! Touching them could be life-threatening!"

"9

Naruto casually picked at his ear. "You're so annoying, Sakura."
