Reincarnated as Naruto, Garp template

Nara Shikaku remained expressionless as he calmly watched the proctor escort the cheater and his teammates out of the examination room.

The content of the Chunin Exams is actually not fixed most of the time.

It depends on how the examiner arranges things.

Different personalities and different types of ninjas result in a wide variety of challenges.

Nara Shikaku, on the other hand, required applicants to be intelligent enough.

Fools are often the first to die.

He set up several perfect "answer sheets" in this building and this classroom, and it was up to someone to find them and "steal" them without anyone noticing.

One team was eliminated.

The atmosphere in the classroom immediately became even more tense.

Those who were already hesitant became even more reluctant to take action.

Yu Nu Zhiwei still planned to help Kazan get through this crisis, but she was relieved to find that Kazan could write like a god after closing his eyes for a moment.

"Knock~"

Several tens of minutes passed, and the time was up.

Nara Shikaku slammed his fist on the table, and all the examinees stopped what they were doing.

"The exam time is over. Now, everyone stop writing."

Kazan had already put down his pen and was waiting for the exam to end.

"Everyone sit still. The exam results will be out soon."

With dozens of candidates and multiple-choice questions, it was easy to get the scores.

Within 30 minutes, the proctors came in again with the results.

Nara Shikaku flipped through it.

Unsurprisingly, all those skilled at cheating passed.

"True Kazan, Shiki Aburame, and Tsuru Inuzuka, approved!"

After Nara Shikaku finished speaking, Inuzuka Tsuru finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He affectionately stroked his beloved dog, Kuromaru.

"Well done, Black Ball!"

"Wang!"

Black Ball squinted in enjoyment.

"Don't let your guard down, Claw. The test isn't over yet; we've only passed the first hurdle." Aburame Shiki still had her hands in her pockets.

"You really are an insensitive guy. When you're happy, you should laugh, right, Kazan?"

"Whatever makes you happy."

Those who passed breathed a sigh of relief, while those who failed could only leave dejectedly.

Some of the lower-ranking ninjas who were dragged down started arguing with their comrades. Others encouraged each other, hoping to try again next time.

"Alright, now that everyone's gone, let's meet your second round of examiners."

wow~

The door was pushed open again, and this time Kazan did not recognize the person who entered.

"Thank you for your hard work, Shiku!"

"It's no trouble at all. I'll leave the rest to you, Mitarai-senpai."

The latter simply nodded upon hearing this.

He then turned to face all the candidates, and his first words made them anxious.

"In the second round of assessments, I will eliminate more than half of the participants."

what? !

More than half?

The candidates felt a chill run down their spines. Of the more than 60 candidates, over 20 were eliminated in the first round, leaving about 40. More than half of them were eliminated in the second round.

"Only about 20 will be able to stay!"

Chapter 34 Battle Sand Ninja

In front of the Forest of Death.

The genin who passed the first round of assessments came here with Mitarashi Anko's father.

"This is where you will take your next exam, the Death Forest."

The Forest of Death.

You can tell it's dangerous just by its name.

"Are you scared already? You coward from Kumogakure!"

"Hmph, this is perfect for burying you, Sand Ninja!"

A discordant sound arose, and the Sand Ninja and Cloud Ninja glared at each other angrily.

Despite being a low-ranking ninja, he acted like a bunch of thugs, shouting and bragging.

"It seems you are quite satisfied with the examination venue I prepared."

"Now, everyone come up and sign this agreement. Anyone who doesn't can get out now."

Mitarai Mori Akira, who had a scar on his face, spoke coldly.

"If you don't want to die inside, you'd better get out of here, Sand Ninja."

The people from Kumogakure were the first to step forward and sign the "life-or-death agreement," not forgetting to mock the people from Sunagakure.

Madara Uchiha later said that in the world of ninjas, there exists an unbreakable chain of hatred.

This is something that can't be helped.

Wars break out too frequently in this world, and too many people die on the battlefield, their blood staining the yellow earth.

These people each have their own family and friends.

Later generations inherited their hatred and resentment, harboring hostility towards other ninja villages, and will never forget it.

"This is the world of ninjas."

Kazan already knew about this.

He's not a saint; there are many things he can't control. Just living his own life well is enough for him.

Kazan walked up and signed his name...

"Alright, let's begin announcing the content of the second round of the Chunin Exams."

Mitarai Mori Akira waited until everyone had signed their names before announcing the exam content.

"Before entering the Forest of Death, you will receive one of the Books of Heaven or Earth from me!"

"The conditions for passing are simple: no matter what method you use, complete the collection of the Book of Heaven and the Book of Earth, and reach the central building in the Forest of Death, and you will pass."

So that's what it means to eliminate more than half of them?

A team can only obtain one of the Book of Heaven or the Book of Earth; the remaining scroll must be stolen from others.

In the end, less than half will be left, right?

Some people felt a chill.

They had no way of knowing which squad possessed the scroll they needed.

It's highly likely that even if you defeat or kill a small squad, what you ultimately obtain will still not be the scroll you need.

The attrition rate and mortality rate are too high, exceeding 50%!

"This is practically forcing us to fight other squads!"

"That's right, I'll make you fight each other. Don't be so naive, kids. The world of ninjas is very cruel."

Mitarai Mori Akira laughed out loud, which made the scars on his face look rather eerie.

"Finally, no one is allowed to look at the contents of the Book of Heaven and the Book of Earth during the exam. Anyone found looking at them without permission will be disqualified from the exam."

"Now, all teams, enter the Death Forest in batches!"

As the final note faded, the second round of the exam officially began.

The ninja squads entered the Death Forest in batches.

When it was Kazan's turn, the three of them exchanged glances and sped into the Forest of Death.

"Make this quick, Inuzuka, Aburame, send your dogs and insects to find the other ninja squads by following the scent and tracks."

"That's exactly what I was thinking, Black Maru!"

Inuzuka Tsurugi's personality was exactly like her future son, Inuzuka Kiba—both impulsive and full of confidence.

"Wang!"

She sat down, and Blackie barked, beginning to track her scent.

The oil-producing woman remained silent, while countless insects flew out of her body.

Kazan admired the people of this race. They carried bugs all over their bodies every day. Didn't they get itchy?

The three of them ran quickly through the forest.

"Wang!"

Not long after, Kuromaru, who was clinging to Inuzuka Tsurugi, barked.

"Found it, at the 12 o'clock position, about one kilometer away from us."

"Good job, your dog has a keen nose. Hurry up and catch up, I'm going first!"
