In fact, during the first written test of the Chunin Exam, the candidates who followed Shizune out of the classroom could almost guess that they had passed. Although everyone was unfamiliar with each other, they could still tell the general strengths of each other. It was obvious that most of the Genin who followed Shizune out were masters who felt strong enough.

In a Chunin Exam, it is possible that some outstanding Genin may be eliminated due to poor performance, but it will definitely not happen that a large number of strong people cannot enter the next round. The outcome is obvious, and most of the relatively weaker people left will miss the second exam.

The Genin who could stand outside the Death Forest were all mentally strong. Fighting and even death in the Chunin Exam were expected. After signing the volunteer form and taking their own scrolls, they entered the Death Forest at the command.

A moment later Tenzou and Mizuki appeared beside Shizune.

"It's our turn now. Tenzou, you go follow the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki and be careful! I have other tasks. Signal immediately if anything happens."

"clear!"

"Well, go in!"

Then, Tianzang dodged a few times and disappeared into the jungle in the blink of an eye. Shuimu used the barrier to sense the direction and walked in one direction.

Although many people were eliminated in the first round of Ebisu, the Death Forest was the time for many people to show their talents. What Shuimu had to do was to try his best to ensure that the losers who were no longer able to continue the exam could exit the Death Forest smoothly, so as not to lose their lives in vain and become food for the beasts.

In addition, there is a more important task, which is to prevent unknown forces from interfering with the Chunin Exam.

So far everything was going fine, except for the team that the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki belonged to.

In the formal exam, even in the most powerful Konoha Village, not everyone performed smoothly.

Just like Mino, Forge, and Kamano who were lucky enough to enter the second round, it was not because they were smart that they passed the first exam, but because they were too slow and direct in their reactions. During the written test, they were so absorbed in solving the questions that they didn’t even have time to write down the names of their teammates, and then they entered the Forest of Death in a daze.

When the real fight began, the difference in strength became apparent. Facing the Sand Ninja in front of them, the three of them had basically no way to deal with it. The opposing team was too well matched, with medical ninjas, strong attacks, and perception. Moreover, the three of them also experienced the frustration of knowing that they could not win but could not escape. Finally, Mino, who was still standing, was kicked in the abdomen by the Sand Ninja Koji who suddenly appeared, and the severe pain made him faint immediately.

"Shishio, is there anyone around?" As a rare female medical ninja in the Sand Ninja, Yuno, who also has water-attributed medical ninjutsu, it is already a rare opportunity for her to be sent out to participate in the Chunin Exam. Every medical ninja is a treasure in the Sand Ninja. If the exam location was not in Konoha, the Sand Ninja would never send them out to take risks.

"Don't worry, there's no one around for now. Kouji, how's your situation? Is that the Scroll of Earth?"

Guangsi bent down and picked up the scroll on Mino and took a look at it: "I'm really lucky. I met a team of noobs for the first time, and they just happened to have what we want."

"Really?" said the female medical ninja Yuno, who was also the captain. "In that case, Shishio, let go of your senses and avoid the strong enemies. Let's go straight to the central tower."

Although their strength was not top-notch, they were extremely lucky to be able to pass quickly through this death forest infested with monsters.

"Fuzi, Sana and Sayo haven't been found yet. Are you giving up on joining us? It will be safer if the six of us are together."

"No need. Plans cannot keep up with changes. It is too dangerous to rush around at this time. We must leave quickly before most people react. Shana is very strong, so there shouldn't be any problem."

"Okay!" If he didn't leave early and met a real master, not to mention the Scroll of Earth, even the Scroll of Sky would not be able to be kept!

The same fate also happened to Gennai, Konoha, and Konoha. As the pride of Konoha ninja, they were crushed in front of Taki Ninja, Toki, and Kon, and were knocked to the ground without any chance to fight back.

"Well, since we have met, it is fate. Do you want to be friends with me?"

"Don't be ridiculous. How can you steal our scrolls if we're friends?"

"Eh, is that not possible? I just want to make friends with you guys and have fun together!" Fu turned to Toki and said, "How about we return the scroll to them? No, give them our scroll as well, then they will definitely be friends with me!"

"Huh, really?" Konoha ninja Inaho said in surprise, "If you give us both scrolls, it would be fine for us to be friends with you."

"That's great." Fu said as she was about to hand over the scroll, but was stopped by Kun beside her.

"Fu, don't be so willful. Have you forgotten the village chief's instructions? If you go back, you will be scolded by the village chief."

"Eh, that seems to be the case!" Fu thought a little tangledly, and finally said with some embarrassment, "I'm really sorry, since it's Brother Feimo's request, I can't disobey it. However, I can be friends with you anytime! If you change your mind, you must come to find me..."

Before he could finish his words, he was pulled by Tochi and Kun and headed straight for the tall tower in the middle of the Death Forest.

…

Of course, not all Konoha ninjas were unlucky. For example, Uchiha Sasuke defeated three rock ninjas with ease, and the earth escape ninjutsu that the opponent was proud of was as vulnerable as paper in front of the lightning escape Chidori.

The three Genin of Kusagakure—Anwu, Kazami, and Ayuro—were knocked to the ground before Rock Lee could even make a move. The crushing speed and strength meant that the opponent was defeated before he could even see his shadow.

The three Genin from Rain Village who participated in the Chunin Exam last time - Oboro, Yumehuo and Kagura - wanted to repeat the same trick this time. However, they were defeated by Uzumaki Naruto's super physical strength and chakra last time. This time, they met the three Genin from Team 8 with outstanding reconnaissance ability, plus Aburame Shino's good sealing and barrier skills, and their illusion barrier was directly crushed, and they ended up in a miserable defeat.

Unfortunately, Team 10 failed to make further progress after encountering strong opponents. After all, Shiho could not perfectly fill the vacancy left by Nara Shikamaru, and was defeated by the Mist Ninja Chojuro, Ran and Ryuka.

In addition, Omoi, Karui, and Atsui from the Hidden Cloud Village also defeated the combined attack of the Rock Ninjas and successfully broke through the second level of the Death Forest.
