Led by Mitarashi Anko, everyone left the Ninja Academy and came to Training Ground 44 on the outskirts of Konoha, which was also the location of the second exam, commonly known as the 'Forest of Death'.
The giant trees in the Forest of Death were at least 100 meters tall, and the poisonous insects and beasts bred here were many times larger than those outside. Even Chunin could not completely ignore the environment here.
According to Anko's explanation, the rules of the second exam were very simple.
The time limit was five days, the team could not lose any members, and then the three people had to simultaneously hold two scrolls, 'Heaven' and 'Earth', and reach the tower in the center of the Forest of Death to succeed.
All teams would receive a scroll at the beginning, so if they wanted to advance, they had to hunt others.
And this was also the bloodiest scene in the entire Chunin Exam, because this was the only place where killing opponents was allowed!
Mujin and Karin found the scarred youth in the crowd. The other party's attitude was no longer arrogant, but rather kind, but his eyes occasionally revealed a trace of resentment.
Mujin knew that he was also planning to attack in the Forest of Death.
The three received the 'Heaven' scroll. The scarred youth put it away by himself and did not hand it over to others.
Mujin didn't care about this. On the contrary, his attention was focused on the other three Grass ninjas. In the original plot, these three were killed by Orochimaru on the way here, and Orochimaru replaced them to enter the Forest of Death.
However, this time, perhaps something unexpected happened, and Orochimaru did not choose these three people.
Mujin glanced at Karin, and she also shook her head. Sensory Technique did not detect anyone's chakra suddenly becoming particularly large, it seemed that Orochimaru was hiding very well.
However, it didn't matter even if he didn't find Orochimaru. Anyway, Orochimaru would always go to Sasuke, so just keep an eye on Sasuke.
All the teams had received their scrolls, and then Konoha sent out ninjas equal to the number of teams. These Konoha ninjas each led a team to different entrances to the Forest of Death.
Mujin and the others came to Entrance 17. At 2:30 p.m., the Konoha ninja opened the iron gate of the entrance on time and let the three of them in.
The second stage of the Chunin Exam officially began.
The three advanced a distance in the forest, and then stopped at the same time after leaving the sight of the Konoha ninjas.
The scarred youth turned around and said somewhat kindly, "I secretly exchanged information with the other three. Their number is 13. Let's go find them. This battle will become very cruel. Only comrades from the same village can survive better if they unite, right?"
Mujin glanced at Karin, and she nodded. Entrance 13 was in the direction where Sasuke and the others were. ➤ NоvеⅠight ➤ (Read more on our source) It seemed that there was no need to worry about wasting time.
Seeing the two agree, the scarred youth revealed a vicious smile on his face, but it was quickly hidden, "Then let's go quickly, I can't wait!"
Indeed, we can't wait either.
The three kept jumping forward on the branches of giant trees. During this process, Mujin took out three iron rods from his backpack, and then twisted them together to form a Buddhist monk's staff. The scarred youth glanced back and didn't care. After all, he was just a waste.
With the help of chakra, the ninjas' movement speed was very fast. What's more, the other three were also rushing towards them, so it only took about twenty minutes for the six Genin from Kusagakure to all gather together.
