Civilians in Konoha, forging their own paths

Of course, the search team will not take it too seriously, otherwise few people who take the exam will be able to pass. The first level tests more on teamwork, lurking ability, anti-tracking ability, and escape ability, while the second level is an assessment of hard power!

A day passed quickly and it was getting dark. The search team had already set out. With Dihuangwan's perception, some unlucky guys had already been captured. Team 11 had two perception ninjas, Dihuangwan and Inuzuka Ya, and they easily avoided several rounds of capture.

Might Dai's team had no sensing type ninjas and encountered a wave of capture. After some struggles and at the cost of two people being injured, they successfully escaped.

As Anima and Okamura Taro were too far away, Dihuangwan could not sense them and was not very clear about their situation.

The range of the Death Forest is too large, and Rehmannia Pills can only sense one fifth of the range of the Death Forest.

At night, the search team was still carrying out arrests, and people were constantly being eliminated. "It seems that it is impossible to have a good sleep in these three days!" Dihuangwan said.

The three of them were still near the river. Di Huang Wan arranged: "I sensed that Senior Might Dai's team was moving towards us. They should be here to find water. After our two teams meet up, we will act together!"

About ten minutes later, Might Dai and others arrived at the river. When they were about to fetch water, Might Dai suddenly said alertly: "Who are you? Come out!" The other two also hurriedly took out their kunai and prepared for the battle.

"Brother Dai, it's me, Dihuang Wan"

Dihuangwan's figure flashed out from the forest, followed by Inuzuka Yoru and Kurama Feiyun.

"It's Dihuang Wan! I thought it was the search team waiting near the water source!" Might Dai also breathed a sigh of relief. Although the previous wave successfully escaped, two team members were injured. If they encounter a patrol team again this time, it may not be so easy for everyone to escape.

"The three of us have been lurking nearby today and have avoided several waves of searches. I sensed that you were moving towards us, so I was waiting for you. Let's act together as two teams!" Dihuangwan said.

"But two people in my team are already injured, and I'm afraid they will hold you back!" said Matt Dai.

"Don't worry, Ye and I are both perception ninjas. We will reallocate the personnel!" Dihuangwan said.

"Ye, Dai Ge, Kusama, you three will form a team, and Feiyun, Dongci, and I will form a team. In this way, we all have strength points and perception points, and then we can distribute them to the wounded," said Dihuangwan.

"Okay, let's do it!" said Matt Dai.

"The search team's operations will not stop at night, but we cannot work for 24 hours. We need to keep watch. Feiyun and I will be on duty in the first half of the night, and Brother Dai and I will be on duty in the second half of the night. The wounded don't need to keep watch!" Dihuangwan said.

After everyone agreed, they fetched water and decided on a hidden location. They hid in place. They took turns to stand guard as agreed before, and moved as soon as a search team came.

Fortunately, the first night was peaceful. After a night's rest, the wounded recovered well and regained 70% to 80% of their combat effectiveness.

"I don't know how many people have been eliminated. I heard sounds of fighting in several places last night. The nearest one was only one kilometer away from our hiding place!" said Mighty Dai.

"There are too many uncertainties in the first round, and luck is also a kind of strength. I can only wish good luck to those taking the exam!" Dihuangwan said.

The group stayed where they were for another day. It might be that the place chosen by Dihuang Wan through the Qi sensing technique was too hidden. During the whole day, six search teams passed by nearby, but they were not discovered.

"Dihuangwan, the place you picked is amazing. If we pass the first round so easily, the others will be so angry that they will die!" Inuzuka Yedao.

"There were no sensory ninjas in the previous six waves of search teams. I guess if too few people are eliminated by the third day, the search team will have to send out sensory ninjas to speed up the elimination of people." Dihuangwan said.

"Well, according to the first-round passing rate of previous Chunin Exams that I have obtained, it is about 30%. That is to say, among the 48 people taking part in the Chunin Exams this time, only about 17 people can pass the first round!" Kurama Feiyun also said.

It seems that the real test will be on the third day!

Another night passed, and everything was peaceful. It seemed as if the six people of Dihuang Wan were really forgotten.

"How many people have been eliminated in two days?" Orochimaru asked his assistant in the central tower of the Death Forest.

"Lord Orochimaru, fifteen people have been eliminated!" the assistant responded.

"Only fifteen people? The search team is too slack!" Orochimaru frowned.

"Lord Orochimaru, the quality of this batch of Genin is very high. Several teams escaped head-on after encountering the search team!" said the assistant.

"Oh? That's interesting!" Orochimaru licked his tongue in his signature way.

"Lord Orochimaru, do you want to send out sensory ninjas to participate in the search?" the assistant asked.

"No, I want to do it myself and see the quality of this Genin, hehe!" Orochimaru showed an evil smile.

"It's not right for the examiner to be here in person," the assistant said in embarrassment.

"Forget the pedantic thinking and learn to adapt. If you don't do it yourself, what's the point of me, the examiner, just sitting on the stage!" Orochimaru said.

After saying that, he flew out of the central tower and disappeared.

Leaving the assistant standing there sighing, "Well, I better inform the Hokage-sama."

At this time, the remaining 33 candidates did not know what kind of opponents they would face or what kind of torture they would experience.

After Orochimaru entered the Forest of Death, he summoned several white snakes from the Dragon Cave, controlled the local snakes in the Forest of Death, and began to explore the entire forest. "Come on, find all the little mice!" Orochimaru showed his signature evil smile.

In Konoha Village, in the Hokage's office, the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen had already received the report from the examination room. He knew that Orochimaru had personally arrested the examinees. He took a few deep puffs from his pipe and sighed, "This is really Orochimaru's style. Let him do it!"

At this time, Dihuangwan and others did not know that they were about to face a powerful crisis from Orochimaru, one of the future three ninjas.

Orochimaru's snake has already set its sights on Dihuangmaru and the other six. There is nothing they can do as there are too many of them and the target is too big, so it is difficult not to be noticed.

Dihuangwan would use the gas perception technique every once in a while, but he didn't notice the snakes around him at all. Because there were too many snakes in the Death Forest, Dihuangwan never expected that Orochimaru, the outlier, would take action personally, and he and others were targeted by Orochimaru's snakes.
