The Hokage, having traveled here, of course he'd unify the ninja world!

Chapter 811 The Forest of Death

The entrance to the Forest of Death.

After lunch, those who passed the Chunin Exams written test were selected.

There are now more than a hundred genin gathered together.

Waiting for the practical exam to begin.

Before long, Anko arrived with Naruto's team, Kimimaro's team, Hotaru, and Neji.

"Now, before the second exam begins, let me explain the exam rules."

"To confirm your participation in the exam, you need to sign this 'Death Consent Form'."

"The exam content is a survival challenge."

"This training ground number 44, also known as the Death Forest, is a circle formed by 44 locked entrances."

"It contains rivers, forests, and various man-made and natural traps."

“There is a tall tower in the center. The distance from the tower to the entrance was originally ten kilometers, but now it has been expanded to fifteen kilometers.”

"A knockout tournament will be held within this limited area."

"The content is..."

As she spoke, Hongdou took out a scroll: "Scroll Battle."

“I will give each of you a scroll and I want you to fight over it.”

"Many candidates in this Chunin Exam do not have enough teammates, so you are allowed to form your own teams."

"The maximum number of people in a team is five, and the minimum number is three."

"If you have three scrolls, you can enter the central tower. This is considered passing the survival test."

"The exam lasts 120 hours, which is exactly five days."

"Wilderness survival is also a required course for ninjas, but a special reminder: the Death Forest is full of poisonous insects and ferocious beasts."

"Be careful not to die in there."

"Elimination criteria..."

Qianyao stood in the line of proctors not far away, listening to Hongdou read out the rules.

This is different from when Naruto and his friends took the exam; the only difference is the issue of free team formation and scrolls.

Konoha attracts a large number of people from other villages to take the exam, if it is strictly stipulated that they must be in groups of three.

Having a group of ninjas that can't be assembled is a disadvantage.

That's why it was changed to three scrolls for passing and free team formation.

These three scrolls are very interesting because most teams consist of three people.

If you can completely convince your two teammates, you can even head straight for the central tower.

The exam rules have now been announced. Those without teams are now forming teams freely, while those with teams are already signing consent forms and receiving their scrolls.

Moegi, Hiroyuki, and Hanabi got together and prepared to go in as a team.

The Forest of Death is quite famous, being the venue for the Chunin Exams every year, so it's naturally under constant maintenance.

With the presence of Nawaki and Tenzo, who both possess Wood Release techniques, the trees in Konoha are much denser than before.

There are more poisonous insects and venomous creatures than before, and while their reach has expanded, they are also more dangerous.

Hinata, standing nearby, reminded Hanabi, "Don't be nervous. You've already done many missions this year."

"But be careful of the poisonous snakes in the forest. Activate your White Eyes periodically to ensure you are not ambushed..."

Hanabi, on the other hand, was much calmer. She had already participated in the Chunin Exams last year and was very familiar with the process.

"Don't worry, sister, I'm not nervous. I'll definitely become a Chunin!"

Hanabi knew that although the forest was dangerous, there were still many cameras inside, along with these proctors, all to prevent accidents from happening.

"The Chunin Selection Exams! The Second Survival Exam has officially begun!"

At Hongdou's command, all the examinees surged into the Forest of Death.

Sasuke, Naruto, Hinata, Kimimaro, Haku, and Gaara—some returned to the central tower to check the surveillance, while others went to more dangerous areas to maintain order.

Even though death certificates have been signed, too many deaths can still have a negative impact.

Qianyao also entered the Boundless Realm and began to hang behind Hanabi.

Once inside the Boundless Realm, he could only see everything in reality, but he couldn't influence it.

Qianyao simply took flight, soaring through the sky towards the direction of the fireworks.

The conditions vary from area to area in the Death Forest, but they all share the common characteristic of being extremely dense trees that block out all sunlight.

In this environment, there are a lot of poisonous insects.

Less than ten minutes after more than a hundred genin entered the Forest of Death, screams began to erupt!

"Ugh...!"

"what!……"

The horrifying screams echoed through the Death Forest, sending chills down the spines of many who were taking the exam for the first time.

Bai leaped through the forest and came to a small group surrounded by blood-sucking leeches.

Although there were many dead blood-sucking leeches on the ground.

But even more bloodsucking leeches had crawled all over their bodies.

This team clearly lacked experience and didn't know that leeches would collectively jump onto their prey when they sensed sweat and body temperature.

When the battle broke out here and the leeches were killed, sweat was produced, which attracted even more leeches.

If they are sucked in like this for five minutes, they will all die.

Furthermore, you shouldn't try to pull a leech out when it's sucking your blood, because their suckers have barbs on them.

This can easily cause the suction cup to break off inside the skin, increasing the risk of infection.

But Bai was very experienced in dealing with these leeches, and he simply waved his hand.

A large amount of icy mist sprayed from his palm; these leeches would stiffen and enter a pseudo-hibernation state when their bodies were in low temperatures.

They all fell off the human body.

Bai lifted the three people up and began transporting them into the medical tent outside.

He's done this task several times and is very experienced.

The other proctors were also busy during the first few tens of minutes.

They gradually sent some half-dead people out of the Death Forest.

Most of these were first-time participants in the Chunin Exams, aiming to gain experience.

Konoha also tries its best to ensure that these people don't die in some inexplicable place.

Even if Konoha has made some preparations, being a ninja is a dangerous profession, and there are always unavoidable dangers that can happen at any time.

For example, one team encountered a highly venomous spider, and one of them got sprayed in the face with venom.

The time from poisoning to death was less than a minute; when he died, his entire face was gone.

By the time the proctor arrived, he could only save his two teammates.

However, teams that don't have problems in the first hour are usually those with some experience.

There's no need to worry so much.

As time went by, it soon became evening.

Each team began searching for shelter and preparing to spend the night.
