Starting as a working person from Naruto

Chapter 30 The Boy and the Dragon

"Just throw the reel at me."

Akihara Kagura extended her hand in a very friendly manner.

The sheer size of the Wood Dragon Technique and the sheer awe of seeing it for the first time would likely be enough to deter the team from any thoughts of resistance.

Whoosh!

The scroll slid across an arc!

Akihara Kagura took the scroll, rode the wooden dragon, and turned to leave, leaving only a sentence in the wind: "Thank you for your cooperation. I hope we will have the opportunity to cooperate again in the future."

"..."

The three genin looked at each other in bewilderment.

Let's hope we don't have another chance like this!

"Tsk, not bad luck."

Akihara Kagura glanced at the scroll in her hand.

The first team he encountered allowed him to collect all the scrolls.

Although the boy always thought that passing the second round wouldn't be too difficult, he didn't expect to collect all the reels so easily, which inevitably made him feel better.

The remaining time for this exam…

This is probably time to rest after a spring outing in the countryside.

Akihara Kagura didn't seem to care much about leaving as soon as possible.

Akihara Kagura knew that Shimura Danzo was definitely in a bad mood, and that she would have to face Danzo's deadpan face after leaving, so she might as well stay here a little longer.

When your boss is in a bad mood, never approach them, especially if you are the source of their bad mood. Instead, give them as much time as possible and let them think things through on their own.

"I wonder when I'll be able to meet the next squad..."

Kagura Akihara rode a wooden dragon through the Forest of Death, intending to find her chef team for the next few days and also try to search for traces of Itachi Uchiha.

It's a bit of a pity.

The Death Forest is simply too large.

The entire Death Forest has a radius of at least ten kilometers.

Within the more than 300 square kilometers of forest, there are more than a dozen small teams scattered around, and even their entrance is unknown. The dense forest will also serve as their cover and protection.

This is a game of survival, hiding, and plunder.

Only Akihara Kagura, relying on her wooden dragon, could arrogantly roam the Death Forest and even use this advantage to search for enemies in the surrounding area.

however…

The disadvantages of the wooden dragon are also obvious.

Humans are born with the instinct to seek advantage and avoid harm. Any enemy who can see the wooden dragon will usually hide quietly after the initial shock.

Akihara Kagura possesses an enormous amount of chakra, which enhances his chakra perception abilities, but it still cannot compare to the Byakugan, the most powerful sensory bloodline limit in the ninja world.

The ninja teams participating in this exam all chose to remain hidden.

The situation within the Death Forest is unclear, with enormous wooden dragons roaming the skies above. The best option is undoubtedly to hide and conceal oneself from the unknown dangers.

Even Itachi Uchiha had no choice but to go into hiding.

The entire Death Forest gradually fell silent.

Kagura Akihara patrolled back and forth twice. It seemed that the first team he encountered had used up all his luck, preventing him from meeting a second team of competitors.

"Is there really no one willing to come out?"

Akihara Kagura frowned and steered the wooden dragon towards the central tower: "If you don't want to come out, then don't ever come out!"

The outskirts of the Death Forest.

A group of examiners were on the outskirts of the Death Forest discussing any unexpected situations that might arise during the exam. Their duty was to ensure the smooth conduct of the second exam.

Obviously.

An unexpected incident has occurred in the Forest of Death.

Akihara Kagura was the biggest accident.

Because Mitarashi Anko brought back news that Akihara Kagura was a Wood Release ninja, and with orders from the Hokage's Office, this child became a focus of the examiners' work.

"Finally, they've stopped wandering around?"

"What does that brat want to do?"

"What we should be more concerned about is how long this procedure can last?"

"We don't know yet. We've never seen the First Hokage's Wood Release ninjutsu, so we don't know how long it can last..."

"The Hokage told us not to worry."

"If that brat is trying to find the enemy this way, can someone tell him that it won't work, and the enemy will just hide forever..."

"Strength alone is useless without a sharp mind; his actions will only cause other squads to tremble with fear and dare not act..."

It's getting dark...

"Everyone needs to prepare supplies."

"This wilderness survival exercise might turn into a wilderness escape..."

"Has that kid collected all the scrolls yet? Are the two scrolls he has the characters for 'Heaven' and 'Earth'? If he collects them sooner, he should come out sooner!"

"The surveillance footage is not clear..."

The examiners, watching the giant wooden dragon swimming in the monitor, felt an immense headache coming on. They had never seen such a troublesome candidate in the Chunin Exams.

It would be bad if Akihara Kagura, the examinee, caused any trouble by relying on her ninjutsu and completely ruined the Chunin Exams.

however…

Accidents will eventually happen.

One of the examiners suddenly stared in horror at the monitor screen in front of him.

"Something terrible has happened!"

"That wooden dragon has wrapped itself around the tower!"

"Don't panic!"

As the chief examiner, Yamashiro Aoba adjusted his sunglasses, forcing a calm demeanor: "It's alright, that brat is probably trying to seal off the Tower of the End and ambush other teams there..."

Yamashiro Aoba felt he had grasped Akihara Kagura's thoughts and slowly continued, "This kind of plan doesn't happen every year, and very few of them actually succeed. Even if his ninjutsu is very strong, he might not be able to catch the cunning one..."

"but…"

With a dumpling dangling from her mouth, Mitarashi Anko muttered, "I remember that dilapidated tower in the Forest of Death hasn't been repaired for years..."

"The Tower of the End has collapsed!"

An examiner monitoring the Tower of the End suddenly erupted in panic, his face filled with astonishment: "That wooden dragon coiled around the Tower of the End and destroyed it! That brat destroyed the exit point for the second exam!"

"What the hell?!"

"Why cut off everyone's path!"

"This kind of thing causes so much trouble for our work!"

All the examiners present instantly erupted in cheers!

This kind of thing simply adds a difficulty that staff members cannot solve or even consider in the normal workflow!

Yamashiro Aoba, the only examiner, had cold sweat beading on his forehead. He was naturally somewhat timid, but at this moment he seemed to be trying to remain calm: "Don't panic...don't panic...don't panic...think about what you should do in this situation..."

"What are you waiting for!"

Mitarashi Anko, munching on a dumpling, offered her opinion: "The Tower of the End is merely a signal marker indicating arrival. The tower only contains the correct method for opening the Heaven and Earth Scroll. As long as the examinees arrive with the Heaven and Earth Scroll, everything will be fine..."

"Send people over there quickly to prevent panic. Once the examinees arrive in that area with the Heaven and Earth Scroll, tell them the correct way to open it, and there won't be any problems."

"red beans!"

Yamashiro Aoba, as if saved, rushed to Mitarashi Anko's side: "This matter... is entrusted to you! Take men and go there immediately!"

"..."

In the center of the Death Forest.

The final tower has been reduced to ruins.

Kagura Akihara sat in front of the ruins, a massive wooden dragon coiled around the ruins behind the boy, creating a scene of a boy and a dragon in the afterglow of the setting sun.
