Hokage: I, Naruto Uzumaki, was a genius at the beginning

Chapter 42 The Second Assessment
At 7 a.m. the next day, all 78 people who passed the first assessment arrived at the outskirts of the death forest on time.

Many people have even arrived here at the dawn of the day.

Inside the Death Forest is an endless forest.

Most of the towering trees in the forest are very old and have a width of five or six meters.

On the outer edge of the entire forest, there is still a circle of iron fences surrounding it.

More than ten meters away from the iron fence, there are many towering sentry towers.

Those Konoha ninjas on the sentry tower were lying on the edge of the guardrail of the sentry tower boredly, looking at the students below who came to take the exam.

Looking around, many Konoha ninjas are holding a telescope in their hands.

According to Naruto's guess, it is likely that after the second assessment begins, they will use the telescope to observe the movement in the dead forest.

If there is a situation that cannot be dealt with, they will be there as soon as possible.

Mitarai Anko appeared in a blink of an eye. She scanned the ninja students waiting with her sharp eyes, and said slowly:
"This is the venue for the second exam, the No. 44 practice venue."

"Also known as the Forest of Death."

Having said that, Hongdou took out a form from the pocket of the windbreaker, and opened it in front of her face.

"This is a consent form. Those who want to participate in the second assessment must sign here."

"Because I entered the death forest, it is very likely that someone will die in it."

"On this point, your consent must be obtained."

"Otherwise it will be my responsibility."

There was a smile on the corner of Hongdou's mouth.

But what she said made everyone present a little dumbfounded.

He just participated in an assessment, so how could he make such a fuss that he would lose his life?
"Why? Is there something dangerous inside?"

"Yeah, why is the Zhongnin assessment so strict?"

Many people have raised doubts in their hearts one after another, and they are somewhat unacceptable to such an arrangement.

"Quiet!!"

"What kind of noise does it look like?"

"If you are afraid, you can give up now before it's too late."

Hong Dou yelled sharply, scanning everyone with provocative eyes.

However, although many of the 78 people present were dissatisfied with such a strict assessment, none of them gave up.

After all, after being successfully promoted to Chunin, their wealth and status will also be improved accordingly.

"Hehe~~ Not bad, since no one chooses to give up, let me introduce the rules of the second assessment in detail."

Hongdou covered her mouth and smiled, and waved to the ninja beside her to hand out forms to the examiners, and then she slowly began to tell the story.

Naruto didn't take this kind of thing too seriously. For his current strength, passing such an assessment is simply a very simple matter.

The general meaning of red beans is that the entire death forest is a circular area.

While the scope is very wide, it is also surrounded by 44 different entrances.

The terrain in the forest is very complicated, with places like rivers, forests, and cliffs.

There is a tower in the very center of the forest, and each group of three will distribute a scroll.

There are two types of scrolls: sky scrolls and earth scrolls.

In order to pass the second assessment, one must gather the scrolls of the sky and the scrolls of the earth within five days, and finally reach the tower in the middle of the death forest.

As long as the scroll can be obtained, no matter what method is used.

Even if the opponent is killed, Konoha's people will not intervene.

And before entering the forest, everyone will distribute an emergency scroll.

If you feel that your life is threatened, you can open this emergency scroll, and Konoha's rescuers will appear immediately.

"Naruto, put our scroll on your body, it's safer."

Sasuke saw that the personnel of each team were heading to the place to collect the scrolls, and stepped forward to propose to Naruto.

"That's right, Naruto is the strongest in our team, and it's best to put him on him."

Sakura also came to Naruto, whispering.

"No problem, you two don't need to be so nervous, with me here, nothing will happen."

Naruto looked cheerful, but seemed relaxed.

Soon, it was the Kakashiban trio's turn to go to that room and line up to enter.

Receiving this scroll is also a hidden mystery. Although each team can only receive one scroll, all three of them have to enter it.

Because only in this way, other teams will not know in advance which person the scroll is stored on.

After the scrolls were collected, each three-person team was led to different entrances and entered the death forest.

"Dou, Master Orochimaru arranged for the killing of Sasuke Uchiha to drive away the three people from the examination room. What should we do next?"

As soon as Yao Shidou stepped into the death forest, a companion beside him asked.

"Don't worry, Oshemaru-sama's plan will not be disrupted."

"Since the three of 'Anvil' didn't come, the three of us will carry out Master Orochimaru's original plan."

The pharmacist pushed his eyes on the bridge of his nose, and a sinister smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Orochimaru wants to win Uchiha Sasuke, first of all, he has to test Uchiha Sasuke's strength.

Is it enough to become the next reincarnation container of Orochimaru.

If Uchiha Sasuke's strength cannot meet the requirements of Orochimaru, then Orochimaru will use the second plan as planned.

Take Sasuke back to the base, use medicine to enhance Sasuke's strength, and maximize the strength of Sharingan.

Finally, Sasuke's Sharingan was dug out and transplanted to Orochimaru himself.
Now that the originally arranged trio of Toss and Anvil have been eliminated, it is up to Pharmacist to make the next step by himself.

Personally test whether Sasuke Uchiha is enough.

Anyway, Pharmacist's undercover career in Konoha started with the plan to destroy Konoha, and it has already been declared to be over.

"Naruto. This is a very dangerous exam. Is it really appropriate for us to do this?"

Sakura walked behind Naruto with a speechless face.

When other teams entered the death forest, they either chose the most concealed route to walk, or hid in the dark and stood still.

But Naruto was fine, as soon as he came in, he acted like a normal person, holding the back of his head with his hands and walking in the most obvious place.

What was even more irritating was that this guy was still whistling as he walked, as if he was afraid that others would not notice him.
"Naruto, I think what Sakura said is right, we are a little too reckless."

Sasuke also thought that Naruto's ostentatious behavior was inappropriate, but he had no choice but to follow behind.

"You can rest assured."

"As for the rookie players, no one dares to call our attention."

"We'll be fine if we don't trouble them."

Naruto shook his head indifferently, and continued to advance leisurely in the widest area in the forest.
