"Alright, now each group should send someone to the small dark room to exchange for the scrolls," Yamanaka Inoichi shouted loudly, breaking the silent atmosphere.
All the groups entered the small dark room one by one to exchange for the scrolls. They didn't know what scrolls the other groups had.
Similarly, the entrances corresponding to each scroll were also different. The Forest of Death had forty-four entrances, perfectly disrupting the order of the twenty-seven groups.
"Now, everyone rest for ten minutes. After ten minutes, the second stage will officially begin," Yamanaka Inoichi said coldly. These ten minutes were for the genin to rest, and also for them to think, to think about the test plan for later.
And so, the various groups began to discuss their next plans in low voices, but Team 8 was the exception.
"Uchiha Kaoru, if it wasn't for you, I would have been able to beat that Hidden Stone Village brat up properly!" Shin suddenly attacked Kaoru, seeming to still be brooding over the previous matter.
"If I hadn't stopped you, we wouldn't have been qualified to come to the second stage!" Kaoru also replied coldly.
"I don't care!" Shin suddenly leaned forward, grabbed Kaoru's collar, and shouted loudly, "I just can't stand that Hidden Stone Village brat's behavior of treating human lives as grass, even if I lose the chance to become a chūnin, I have to teach that guy a lesson!"
"Then have you thought about my and Hina's feelings!" Kaoru also said without mercy, and pushed Shin away, "It doesn't matter if you lose this chance, Hina and I still need it!"
"Kaoru, Shin, don't quarrel..." Hina said weakly from the side, completely lacking momentum in front of these two boys.
"Hmph!" Shin seemed to be speechless by Kaoru's words, snorted coldly, and then left directly.
"Hoo..." Kaoru also breathed heavily.
"I'll go and calm down first," He also left a sentence, and left the spot, leaving only Hina alone in the venue.
"What, these three brats, are actually having internal strife,"
"As expected, they're still too young," The surrounding genin all mocked.
"Kids, unity is one of the important spirits of a ninja..." Yamanaka Inoichi, who was far away, also frowned when he saw the situation of Team 8.
"Shin, that guy, is quite excited..." In a small forest next to this place, a ninja wearing a mask said with emotion. He was lurking in it, staring at Shin's every move.
He was motionless like a statue, perfectly integrated into the surrounding environment.
It was Ren, a Root member sent by Danzō to monitor Shin.
"I didn't expect Shin to care so much about that Hidden Stone Village genin, he actually brought his personal emotions into it. But it doesn't matter, as long as it doesn't ruin Danzō-sama's plan," Ren thought to himself. He saw Shin leaving after arguing with Kaoru, and immediately followed.
And Kaoru walked alone to a small stream not far from the Forest of Death.
Then, Kaoru spread out his right hand, revealing a small note in his palm.
This was what Shin had secretly handed over when he grabbed his collar just now, and he immediately understood, and played out this scene.
From Shin secretly passing the note and then leaving the spot, Kaoru could guess that he was probably under surveillance at this time. It was just a pity for the little girl Hina, who thought they had really broken up.
"What will he write?" Kaoru frowned, unfolding the note in his hand, but it was blank.
"There's nothing?" Kaoru was puzzled, and then thought of a solution.
He began to infuse chakra into this piece of white paper.
Sure enough, after the blessing of chakra, a few lines of small words suddenly appeared on the white paper.
"I am one of the members of Root. Danzō-sama has already sent someone to test your strength, it's in the second exam. This is a very dangerous test. If your strength is not enough, you will be killed, please be careful!"
This book will be on the shelves tonight. It strictly follows the standard of 150,000 words, and has not been put on the shelves with only 100,000 words like other books.
Readers who think this book is worth reading, please subscribe, I sincerely thank you.
"If your strength reaches the test requirements, then you will be forced to join Root by various means, please be careful!"
These few short sentences condensed Shin's efforts, and also set off waves in Kaoru's heart.
Danzō had sent people to examine his strength after arranging for Shin to go undercover by his side.
It seemed that Danzō already had some distrust of Shin, but what worried him the most was the last sentence, various means... Kaoru wasn't worried about himself, he was worried about his sister.
"Danzō, huh..." Kaoru clenched the note in his hand. "Let's take it one step at a time. Since you want to send people to test me, then I'll perform well."
After Kaoru burned the note in his hand with Fire Release, he returned to Hina's side again. At this time, Shin had also returned.
"Hmph," Shin snorted coldly when he saw Kaoru, and immediately turned his head away.
Kaoru also kept a cold face and didn't speak. He had to make the play complete.
Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, twenty minutes had passed.
"Very well, it seems that you are all well prepared. Then I announce that the second stage of the Chūnin Selection Exams will officially begin!"
With Yamanaka Inoichi's order, the person in charge of each entrance led different groups and walked into the Forest of Death.
The second exam began.
Due to the change in the second exam system, and the uniqueness of the Forest of Death, all the exams could be killed, which meant that Kaoru could also kill a lot.
In one place in the Forest of Death, three people were walking slowly. Their ages were all around thirty years old. Judging from their forehead protectors, they were Konoha examinees.
"We've finally entered the second exam. It's also time to carry out the tasks assigned by Danzō-sama," The ninja walking in the middle spoke. He had a scar on his face, looking fierce, and was also the strongest guy among the three.
"Which one should we do first? Danzō-sama has assigned us several tasks," The ninja next to him asked.
"Let's do the main task first, test that Uchiha Kaoru's capacity," Scarface said coldly, and then turned his head to the ninja on his left and said, "Oil, you find him first."
"Hmm," The ninja codenamed "Oil" was wearing a cloak and sunglasses, and then stepped forward.
"Secret Technique, Parasitic Destruction Insect!" He raised his hands, and dense black insects flew out of his two sleeves. These small insects spread out and flew in all directions.
"My insects will tell me the whereabouts of that kid. Just wait patiently," Oil said coldly.
In Team 8.
