In the Forest of Death, as noon approached, the genin teams who had passed the first written exam faced their second test. Gates opened in different locations within the Forest of Death, and seventy-eight genin rushed in without hesitation. They would engage in a five-day battle to seize scrolls, using any means necessary. Only by successfully capturing the corresponding Heaven and Earth Scroll within the time limit and bringing it to the central tower of the Forest of Death could a team pass the second test.
Meanwhile, Wang Han, dressed in black general's armor and with his face covered by a mask, also entered the Forest of Death and quietly followed behind Naruto and his two companions.
………………………………………………
Outside the Forest of Death, a Chunin Exam Proctor suddenly appeared before Mitarashi Anko, who was in charge of the second exam, and said, "Something terrible has happened, Anko-sama."
"Hmm?" Seeing this, Hongdou asked, "What brings you here all of a sudden?"
The Chunin quickly said, "We've found three corpses. They died outside the Forest of Death, and something's strange about them. Please come quickly."
“Judging from their belongings and identification, they are all Kusagakure ninjas who registered to participate in the Chunin Exams.” When Anko arrived at the scene, a ninja explained, “As you can see, they have no faces. It’s as if something melted them away; their entire faces are flat.”
“Without a doubt, this ninjutsu belongs to that guy.” Anko touched the curse mark left on her neck by Orochimaru, one of the legendary Sannin of Konoha. “Why did that guy come to the Chunin Exams?”
"Show me photos of these three Grass Ninja," Anko instructed. "They're on the application form, right?"
"Yes." A Chunin quickly replied, handing the documents in his hand to Anko.
"They took the faces of those three Grass Ninjas, back then." Anko recalled the Grass Ninja she saw before the exam. Obviously, that Grass Ninja had already been killed at that time, and it was someone else who entered the Forest of Death.
After confirming, Anko immediately ordered, "This is a big problem. You must tell the Hokage about this immediately and request two ANBU units to come to the Forest of Death. I'm going to chase after these guys right now."
"Yes, sir." Upon hearing this, the ninjas immediately left.
After the ninjas left, Anko immediately entered the Forest of Death.
"I need to hurry." Touching the curse mark on her neck, Red Bean quickened her pace again.

Meanwhile, in the Forest of Death, Wang Han, having enhanced his eyesight and hearing, hid to watch Orochimaru toy with Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura. Behind Wang Han, the corpses of three ordinary Konoha genin were impaled on a tree by spears, already lifeless.
As Orochimaru toyed with Naruto and his two companions, Wang Han did not intervene since the three were not in any life-threatening danger. He simply watched from a distance until Orochimaru left a cursed seal on Sasuke and then followed him away.
……………………………………
"Are you waiting for your student, Mitarashi Anko, Orochimaru?" Just as Orochimaru found a place to wait for Anko, a voice suddenly rang out from a large tree next to him.
Upon hearing the sound, Orochimaru immediately moved away from his original spot in the opposite direction and became alert. Anyone who could appear beside him without him noticing was no ordinary person.
"You're quite wary," Wang Han said with a smile, watching Orochimaru's actions.
'The black-armored man, so this guy really came to Konoha too.' Looking at the person standing not far away, wearing strange black armor and a mask that covered his face, he immediately became wary, but remained silent.
“A few months ago, a nobody named Mizuki mentioned you to me when he betrayed Konoha, and even said that I was sent by you to meet him.” Wang Han looked at Orochimaru and said, “I killed him back then. Today I came here specifically to see what you, Orochimaru, are capable of.”
"Offending a strong person is a capital offense, and as for our battle, it will inevitably cause a huge commotion." Orochimaru said cautiously upon hearing this. He knew that the black-armored man was extremely powerful. Not only were the Akatsuki's immortal duo crushed by the black-armored man in front of him and forced to feign death to save their lives, but he had also defeated half of Konoha's top fighters long ago. He knew he was no match for him, and fighting him would only be asking for trouble.
"It's alright, I'll control myself," Wang Han said with a smile, and rushed towards Orochimaru.
"Damn it." Orochimaru cursed as he saw the black-armored man charging towards him, quickly forming hand seals. "Ten Thousand Snake Formation."
Countless venomous snakes erupted from Orochimaru's mouth, surging towards Wang Han like a tidal wave. From their mouths, sharp swords seemed poised to tear Wang Han to pieces. One can only imagine the fate that would ensue if Wang Han were caught in their midst.
But is that really the case?
Facing the venomous waves, Wang Han did not flinch at all, but instead accelerated and charged straight into them.
The venomous snakes' sharp blades had no effect whatsoever on the reinforced armor. The incredible speed created a whirlwind that tore apart the surrounding snakes, allowing Wang Han to pass directly through Orochimaru's Thousand Snake Formation. While Orochimaru's Thousand Snake Formation obscured Wang Han's vision, it was of no use to him, but that was enough for Orochimaru.
"I wanted to run away from the very beginning." Looking at the empty ground, Wang Han smiled and disappeared from the spot.
"boom……"
The next moment, the earth cracked open, and Wang Han stood in the crack, his spear deeply embedded in the ground, a stream of crimson blood slowly seeping out from the ground along the spear. "Why are you in such a hurry to leave? I haven't finished talking about my business yet. You should wait a little longer before you go."
