Starting as a working person from Naruto

Chapter 31 Senior Red Bean, I'm afraid I'll forget you.

The strange noise of the collapsing tower at the end point shook the Death Forest.

A group of hidden genin examinees could no longer contain themselves. Gazing at the distant, disappearing finish line, they began to worry about their scores and quickly set off towards the center of the forest.

Kagura Akihara sat on the steps in front of the ruins, watching the birds in the forest startled by the crowd, a slow smile slowly appearing on her lips.

"The fish will always take the bait."

Akihara Kagura controlled the enormous wooden dragon and disappeared beside her, almost whispering, "It's about to begin, wooden dragon."

Obvious.

The first to arrive will definitely be the one traveling light.

As someone participating in the Chunin Exams alone, Itachi Uchiha didn't need to worry about his teammates' speed at all; he immediately hid near the central area upon arrival.

Hidden among fallen leaves, the Uchiha clan's genius boy secretly observed Akihara Kagura sitting in the ruins and the wooden dragon behind him.

"It was him..."

Itachi Uchiha wasn't the only one who was equally astonished.

Another team that arrived quickly saw what Akihara Kagura looked like.

They originally intended to remain hidden, but as more and more teams gathered in the area, encounters and conflicts were inevitable...

"Why are you hiding here!"

"Damn it, are you trying to ambush us?!"

"Let's deal with you despicable scoundrels first!"

"Don't throw your shuriken around!"

The scene quickly descended into chaos!

The area wasn't very large, and small-scale battles quickly broke out, the chaos of which also affected other people hiding there!

This is an opportunity!

Due to the collapse of the final tower, all the teams were forced to gather in this area ahead of schedule, and some powerful teams took the opportunity to seize the Heaven and Earth Scroll.

Even though Itachi Uchiha was hiding in a very well-hidden location, he was eventually discovered by the ninjas engaged in fierce fighting and forced to join the chaotic battle…

"The situation doesn't allow us to start fighting like this..."

"Uchiha Itachi, hand over your scroll, and I'll let you go!"

This squad was no match for Itachi Uchiha and was quickly defeated, with their scroll falling into Itachi's hands.

"Very lucky, and everything went smoothly..."

Uchiha Itachi gathered the Tenchi Scroll and quickly withdrew to the side. He didn't want to get involved in unnecessary conflicts, and his gaze fell back on Akihara Kagura.

"but…"

"Neither lucky nor smooth sailing."

Besides Itachi Uchiha, many others also realized the threat posed by Kagura Akihara and ran around calling for everyone present to gather together.

"Stop everything!"

"Get lost! We'll deal with you first!"

"Everyone, stop fighting! Deal with that brat first!"

"Don't forget the wooden dragon behind that brat. That's not something our small team can handle. Don't let him reap the benefits!"

Unfortunately.

Once a battle begins, it's not so easy for the participants to stop, even if they retain their sanity.

Just as a long-haired ninja was trying to persuade everyone to stop fighting, a childish voice rang out: "Hey, stopping a fight isn't easy, people will die if this continues... How about I help you?"

"Who?"

The long-haired ninja turned around with a hint of delight.

However, his gaze quickly froze as he saw the last person he wanted to see: Akihara Kagura slowly descending the steps of the ruins.

"Wood Release..."

"The Birth of the Tree Kingdom!"

The ground in the entire area trembled again!

Vines and roots sprouted rapidly from around Akihara Kagura's feet, and in the blink of an eye, a tall, giant tree grew!

"What the hell is this?!"

"Run!"

"Hurry up and help me cut it in half!"

The branches and roots of these giant trees continued to stretch rapidly, binding every genin examinee they came into contact with to the trees!

"The ninja sword is too inefficient..."

Uchiha Itachi swung his ninja sword and cut a tree branch as thick as an arm in half. He quickly sheathed his sword, retreated rapidly, and his hands formed hand seals in a flurry!

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

A huge fireball landed on the vines that attacked him, and the flames immediately spread, burning the vines away and even setting a giant tree on fire!

however…

This efficiency is still too slow!

The power of the Great Fireball Technique was simply insufficient to burn down all the giant trees, and it was even powerless to stop the Tree World Descent Technique from spreading outwards!

"No!"

"The scrolls are all collected."

"Let's stay back and observe!"

Uchiha Itachi looked at his two scrolls and decided to retreat first. His figure quickly disappeared from the scene.

Other candidates didn't have his ability, nor did they have his good luck.

Akihara Kagura's Advent of the Tree World was far beyond their ninjutsu's capabilities; the other squads' ninjas were all exhausted and weakened by the relentless onslaught of vines and tree roots…

A group of low-ranking ninja were hung from the same tree...

The group of people swayed back and forth like fruit hanging on a tree.

Kagura Akihara, standing atop the wooden dragon's head, slowly rose to their level and asked, "You're lucky. Although killing is allowed in the second round of the Chunin Exams, Lord Danzo forbids me from killing, so I won't kill you..."

"What do you want to do?"

A ninja asked the question that everyone wanted to ask.

Akihara Kagura toyed with a scroll in her hand and asked, "First, hand over what I need, second..."

"What are you doing!"

A somewhat familiar female voice came over!

When Mitarashi Anko arrived with a group of Chunin Examiners, they saw this strange scene, which made them all stop in their tracks.

Akihara Kagura saw a group of examiners who had arrived.

A group of genin, who were being held up, looked at the examiners with hopeful eyes, hoping that the examiners would intervene in the exam and rescue them!

however…

The newcomer always claimed to be the most ruthless female ninja in Konoha.

Ignoring the eager genin, Mitarashi Anko pointed at the ruined tower and loudly questioned, "Did you destroy the finish line of the second exam so that no one could pass?"

"The village shouldn't let that happen."

Kagura Akihara looked down at the group of Chunin Examiners and explained, "I just wanted to lure them out. I'm not very good at wilderness survival, so this is the only way I can force them out and steal some food from them."

"What a pity..."

"I caught a fish, and it seems the fishpond owner has come knocking on my door."

"What kind of ridiculous analogy is this..."

With a dumpling still dangling from her mouth, Mitarashi Anko frowned and said, "Aren't you worried about being eliminated?"

"Don't worry."

"Someone told me the password to pass the second level in advance."

Akihara Kagura spread her palms and continued nonchalantly, "Strictly speaking, the only requirement to pass the second Chunin Exam is to gather the Heaven and Earth Scroll and get here. I guess some of you here know that."

"..."

Mitarashi Anko angrily took a bite of the dumpling.

"..."

Akihara Kagura licked her lips.

"Tsk, kid, are you hungry?"

Mitarashi Anko continued chewing on the dumpling, then suddenly grinned and said, "If you collect all the Heaven and Earth Scrolls and want to clear the game at this time, you can accept food from people outside the arena."

As Mitarashi Anko spoke, she even pulled out a food bag and slowly continued, "If you stay here and eat what these people make, what if they poison it? There have been quite a few precedents of this during the Chunin Exams..."

Mitarashi Anko's strategy was quite clear: as long as she could get this brat out of the exam hall, she could solve any future problems that might arise in the exam hall.

to be frank.

This brat is always causing trouble.

Akihara Kagura laughed, raised her palm, and the two scrolls, one for heaven and one for earth, flew up in her hand and were flung towards Mitarashi Anko.

"Tsk, you made the right choice!"

Mitarashi Anko took the two scrolls and said with a grin, "Although the normal procedure would require teaching you how to open the Heaven and Earth Scroll, I think that would be a waste of your time. Congratulations on becoming the first candidate to pass..."

"I also choose to clear the game!"

Uchiha Itachi suddenly appeared here at some unknown time.

When Itachi Uchiha saw the Chunin Examiners appear, he immediately realized that as long as he met the examiners, he might be able to pass the test directly through them!

Because the final tower at the end of the level has been destroyed!

Congratulations on coming in second place!

Mitarashi Anko glanced quickly at Uchiha Itachi and added, "That brat from the Uchiha clan, he can still go to the village's confectionery shop and buy some three-colored dumplings!"

Because the two of them were regulars at Konoha's confectionery shop, Mitarashi Anko also knew that Uchiha Itachi liked the three-colored dumplings.

"Ah, thank you, senior!"

Uchiha Itachi nodded hastily and quickly leaped towards the exit!

Kagura Akihara ignored everything that was happening. His gaze fell on the food bag in Anko Mitarashi's hand, as if he was waiting for Anko Mitarashi to give him the bag.

Mitarashi Anko took a skewer of dango from the bag, took another bite, and put on a fierce expression: "Kid, you've caused us examiners so much trouble, do you think I'd share my favorite sweets with you?"

"Tsk, I've been fooled again..."

Kagura Akihara couldn't help but laugh, still looking at the fierce-looking Anko Mitarashi: "Anko-senpai, I'm starting to worry that I've forgotten about you."
