On the morning of the second day of the Chunin Exam, Mizuki got up and went out early, not because he was diligent, but because a mission had arrived.

In fact, my main task is to be a mobile substitute. If nothing happens, that's the best. If something happens, I'll be a brick of the revolution, and I'll be able to move wherever I'm needed. In other words, I'll be a handyman, and anyone who feels that there is a shortage of manpower can pull me in to help.

Having said that, Mizuki was prepared for this. But what the hell was going on with carrying a stretcher? Did a Chunin need to do this? Shouldn't they just hire a few interns? Or just pick up a few strong men from the street?

"Isn't the examiner of the second exam Anko Mitarashi? How come you are the one who arranged it?" Mizuki complained to the person in front of him dissatisfiedly.

"Because of an accident involving Red Bean, a special jonin, I am temporarily needed to assist in handling matters concerning the second exam." Hatake Kakashi ignored the emotions of some people and explained on his own.

"An unexpected incident?" Mizuki asked knowingly, "Was it the big scene in the Death Forest yesterday? The strength of the candidates for this year's Chunin Exam is really terrifying. That scene makes us seniors ashamed."

"Candidates?" Kakashi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. He didn't believe at all that Mizuki would think that the big scene that he himself could hardly create could be created by candidates who were not even Chunin.

"Just treat it as a test-taker. But it's true that Hongdou was injured, and it's hard to say how much that scene has to do with the current situation."

"It has nothing to do with me anyway." It was indeed not related to Mizuki, it was Orochimaru who did it. "Such a big thing has happened, shouldn't you care more about your students? There seem to be a lot of dangerous people among them."

"Things like this always happen when you're a ninja, and I'm sure they'll pass the exams without any problems."

"I think they will pass the exam, but I don't know if they will be safe or not."

"Not much to say." Kakashi began to explain the details of the mission. "All the Jonin in the village have gone on a mission. I also need to cooperate with the Anbu to search for dangerous people. Ordinary people can't survive in the Death Forest. Only a strong Chunin like you can go in and rescue people. More and more candidates have lost their qualifications. The village needs extra manpower to bring them out, regardless of life or death."

“How many more have we missed?”

"Including those who are still taking exams, there are only half of them."

“Why is the progress so fast this year?”

"Strong guys are always impatient."

Indeed, the candidates for this year's Chunin Exam are too strong and their level is too high.

"Okay, so carrying a stretcher means saving lives and collecting bodies, right?"

"Of course, but your main task is to protect the medical staff who are not very strong in combat. If it is convenient for you, please help me with other things. I have something else to do, so I will leave first."

"What do you mean? You're not going to leave all this trouble to me, are you?" Mizuki complained to the troubled Mizuki, "I'm a seriously injured person~"

"Huh." Shuimu, who was complaining, suddenly saw a familiar face.

Kakashi, who was about to leave, also found Karin dozing off on a bench in the hospital.

"Why, you know him?"

"No, how could that be?" Shuimu shook his head. "I saw it during the first exam. Don't you think that hair is very conspicuous?"

"Indeed." Kakashi nodded in agreement. Her bright red hair was exactly the same color as Kushina Uzumaki's, so it was hard not to notice her. "Could it be that you are interested in this kind of little girl?"

"How is that possible?" Shuimu hastily denied it. The minimum sentence is three years, and the maximum is death penalty. He can't take the blame. "Although you are stronger and I can't beat you, I am older than you, so I can't just slander my senior. I have a fiancée, unlike you who only have one."

"I'm a jonin." Kakashi said nonchalantly.

"I have a fiancée."

"I'm more famous than you, more handsome than you, and richer than you."

"I have a fiancée."

"Okay, let's not talk about your fiancée." Kakashi surrendered, "That Kusanagi was rescued last night. She was the one who was relatively close at the time, but she and her companions were too weak. They were knocked down before they even saw the other side. The two were seriously injured and barely survived. They probably can't be ninjas anymore. But the weakest little girl was unharmed. She opened the scroll alone and was brought out. She was really lucky."

After all, she is a girl with the attribute of "good luck". She can always escape from danger and be rescued even when she encounters deadly danger.

"Kakashi, does a ninja from another village also need to be treated with all our strength? Will it interfere with the exam if we go in there now that the exam isn't over?"

"There's nothing we can do about it. Originally, whether the people inside are dead or alive has nothing to do with the village, but the problem now is that the noise inside is too loud, and we can't hide it. It will be troublesome if others come to harass us on the grounds that we didn't protect them well. The Chunin Exam still has to go on, but we must try our best to rescue them without affecting the exam. If they are just attacked or killed by other candidates, keep the evidence." Kakashi explained.

Mizuki nodded to show that he understood.

"I'm leaving now. If you have any questions, go to the central tower where there are ninjas on duty." He said and left.

Looking at the sleepy Karin, Mizuki thought for a moment and walked over. However, before he reached her, Karin woke up and immediately noticed Mizuki.

"It seems that Kagura has become very proficient in using her mind's eye."

"Hello again." Shuimu greeted, "I didn't expect you to come out alive and unscathed. You are quite capable."

"Who are you? Examiner Mizuki?" Karin hesitated for a moment, but still used the title of examiner. Although Mizuki showed goodwill, she still didn't know the other party's true attitude.

"No need to call me examiner, I'm not invigilating anymore." Shuimu replied, "I'm glad you're alright, you should have a good rest."

"But, Senior Mizuki..." Karin hesitated, "My teammates are all seriously injured, and I am the only one who is fine. If I return to Kusagakure Village..." Karin hesitated. After all, complaining to the ninjas from other villages would be of no use.

"Remember what I said and what I gave you." Shuimu didn't say much, "Try to protect yourself~"

"Yes, Senior." said Karin with red eyes. For Karin, who had always been used as a medicine jar and had been bitten all over her body, it was a rare thing for her to have someone care about her after so many years of loneliness.

"I still have a mission. I'll go see the wounded in the hospital and then I'll leave. Don't think too much. Just follow your heart."

Just when Mizuki was working as a bodyguard and part-time porter in the Forest of Death, a small change occurred in the Chunin Exam. Because of the appearance of Kabuto Yakushi, the trajectory of the exam was deviated again and developed in the direction that some people needed.
