Starting as a working person from Naruto

Chapter 27 Eating is a big problem!

The Forest of Death.

The selection examination venue for the second Chunin Exams.

Konoha has never changed the location of the second exam, and there is no better place to test the comprehensive abilities of a genin team in the wild.

Just like its name suggests, the Death Forest also presents potential dangers, including a perilous forest environment and wild animals that can roam freely…

as well as…

Competitors could emerge at any time.

All eyes in the room were on the two people.

One was Akihara Kagura, and the other was Uchiha Itachi. Both of these ten-year-old boys took the exam alone and were the only candidates who passed the first round without taking the exam.

The other genin went through a lot of hardship to pass the first round of written tests, but the two kids didn't have to take the test and were already waiting for them at the second test site. It just felt a bit unfair.

"That brat..."

"Is there anything special about it?"

"I've never seen it before, nor have I ever heard of it."

"Why does it feel like Itachi Uchiha and that brat are at odds... Could he also be a genius like Itachi Uchiha?"

"That's hard to say..."

"After all, someone who can participate in the Chunin Exams and get approval from the village's higher-ups must be no ordinary kid..."

"That brat is the one who tricked us into changing exam rooms!"

One of the genin examinees suddenly blurted out this remark, instantly arousing the crowd's anger, and they all looked at Akihara Kagura with displeasure.

"Hey, you brat..."

"I did it."

Akihara Kagura smiled and admitted what she had done, extending her hand in invitation: "Welcome... everyone to come and cause me trouble."

"Don't be so arrogant, kid..."

A few guys who were clearly not to be trifled with walked over.

fortunately.

The examiner for the second exam stopped the conflict.

The examiner for the second exam was named Yamashiro Aoba. He was wearing the green uniform of a Konoha Special Jonin and sunglasses.

Yamashiro Aoba sized up the group of genin who wanted to cause trouble and said softly, "If you want to fight, you'll have plenty of time after you enter the examination hall."

"even…"

Yamashiro Aoba held up a thick stack of papers in his hand and continued, "Once you sign this 'Agreement,' even if you accidentally kill your opponent in the examination room, no one will hold you accountable afterwards."

"certainly."

"Anyone who signs this 'Consent Form' will be solely responsible for their own safety during this exam, in case of any unforeseen circumstances."

"Examiner."

Akihara Kagura smiled and raised her hand, asking, "You mean, killing is allowed in the second exam?"

"..."

Yamashiro Aoba frowned and began to think.

Every year during the Chunin Exams, there are always some arrogant individuals who think they can excel in the exam, but they often end up dying because of their arrogance.

Even geniuses…

They might also perish in the Forest of Death.

However, Yamashiro Aoba was not a crazy ninja; he was even somewhat cowardly and timid. After thinking for a while, he nodded.

"From the rules' perspective, it's permissible."

Yamashiro Aoba glanced at the boy and gently advised, "The most important thing about this exam is the competition, but it also tests your survival skills in the wild."

"Even if you manage to get the items to pass the level from your competitors, you might not be able to avoid the dangers in the forest and reach the end of the exam..."

"The rules for the second Chunin Exam are quite simple..."

"In the battle for the Heaven and Earth Scrolls, all participating genin teams will receive two different types of scrolls: the Heaven Scroll and the Earth Scroll."

"Within five days, every team needs to find a way to survive in the Death Forest and steal scrolls from other teams to collect both the Heaven and Earth scrolls. Within the Death Forest examination area, you are not restricted from using any means against your competitors."

There is only one condition for victory.

"The team must possess both the Heaven and Earth Scroll and traverse the long Forest of Death to reach the final tower where the examiner is located within the specified five days."

"There are many conditions for elimination."

"First, any team that fails to reach the finish line with the 'Heaven and Earth Roller' within the stipulated five days will be eliminated."

"Second, there are situations where the team is missing members or members are unable to move, which means that in order to become the winning team, the entire team must arrive."

"Third, the team that illegally opened the Heaven and Earth Scroll before reaching the final tower, because once you become a Chunin, you may have access to top-secret documents. This is to test your ability to keep secrets."

Friendly reminder.

"If you open the reel in the middle of the exam without permission, strange things will happen."

"same."

"To give you time to adjust."

"All candidates present will enter the examination room through several different entrances."

"This test will surely eliminate more than half of the teams. I hope you will all be careful. I will be waiting for the winner at the finish line tower."

"..."

The candidates present quickly became noisy.

Itachi Uchiha's gaze remained unchanged as he meticulously organized his ninja tool bag, for he had promised his father he would pass the Chunin Exams.

Akihara Kagura's gaze didn't change much; she simply lowered her head and signed the "Consent Form," seemingly unconcerned about the danger she might encounter in the Death Forest.

Many people have set their sights on the two boys, Uchiha Itachi and Akihara Kagura, because they are considered to be in two teams, with each of them possessing a different type of scroll.

Compared to competing with other teams, the odds of three people ganging up on one person seem higher, but there are quite a few people watching those two brats...

There are just too many wolves and not enough meat...

of course.

Some people have very strange points of focus.

Where do I get supplies?

A fat man loudly questioned Yamashiro Aoba.

Yamashiro Aoba answered the examinee's question quite seriously: "Wilderness survival, the Death Forest has abundant resources, which should be enough for you to be self-sufficient."

"..."

The genin present felt that these were minor issues.

After all, they had all been on missions and had learned wilderness survival skills, so this little thing was no problem at all.

perhaps…

Only one person thought this might be a problem.

Akihara Kagura frowned and began to contemplate life. He was wondering if there were any genin teams willing to act as chefs, so he could lead them to victory without lifting a finger.

Kagura Akihara can fish, but she's not good at cooking fish.

Kagura Akihara has never had to worry about cooking. Back when they were at the experimental base, Orochimaru always kept him healthy.

Later, it was in the Root organization. Root's base also had its own canteen. Although the food might not be very good, it was enough to keep you from starving.

Akihara Kagura raised her eyes and glanced at the genin present.

If you can't cook, can't you at least find a way to get something to eat? The resources in the Death Forest are enough to make you self-sufficient, so you're sure you can find something to eat.
