Naruto: By lying low and hiding, he eventually became the leader of the Legendary Sannin.

"Hmm~

Congratulations! You've passed the second round of the Chunin Exams!

Chapter 63 Tower of Trials

"Congratulations on passing the second test of the Chunin Exams."

Upon hearing this, no one showed any excitement.

They just stared blankly at Minato, who was clutching his head and looking pained, and then at Kagura, who was smiling as if nothing had happened.

Kushina opened her mouth as if to say something, but in the end, she wisely kept her mouth shut.

For a moment, the arena fell silent, with only Minato's cries of pain occasionally echoing from the sidelines.

Minato held his head and rubbed it for a while before finally recovering from the pain.

He looked at Kagura-sensei with a wronged expression and questioned her:

"Teacher, didn't you say yourself that the person who gets the scroll can't continue attacking?"

Why did you hit me?

Hearing Minato's question, Kagura merely glanced at him sideways and maintained her smile as she said:

"how?

Do you have a problem with that?

"you......"

Minato wanted to say something more, but he stopped himself in time and could only stare at his teacher with a frustrated expression.

He wasn't stupid; he naturally knew that the teacher was just being childish again.

If I were to go and argue with them now, I would probably only suffer again for no reason.

snort!

Adults who can't take a joke!

Seeing Minato's anger that he dared not express, Kagura finally felt a sense of relief.

To be honest, although he had already intended to go easy on them before the assessment, the number of genin in front of him was still somewhat unexpected.

These guys set traps from the very beginning.

Just when they thought they had used all their tricks, they discovered that they had hidden their ultimate goal within them.

Regardless of whether they deliberately lost, it is undeniable that they ultimately won within the rules.

especially......

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance at the taciturn boy in the crowd.

That was the person who saved everyone at the last moment using his ninjutsu—Nara Shikaku.

If Kagura remembers correctly, in the original story, this father was described as having superior strategy and judgment compared to the memorable Shikamaru, and possessing extremely high intelligence.

In fact, just as he suspected, most of the details of Minato and the others' plan were contributed by this person.

If Minato and Rasa were undoubtedly the instigators of this operation, then Nara Shikaku was their strategist.

After Shuimen and Luosha set the general direction, he was responsible for perfecting all the details.

This is no easy task, because in this hastily formed team, he can only formulate a coordinated battle plan based on the abilities of his newly acquired companions.

Even Rasa, who was walking slowly to the side, cast a strange look at Nara Shikaku.

He was no ordinary genin; with his ambition to become Kazekage, he could immediately see the importance of this person to a village.

To put it bluntly, such highly intelligent ninjas are sometimes several times more important than highly skilled Jonin.

However, it's unclear whether this is a genetic trait from the Nara family.

Having completed his mission, Nara Shikaku appeared remarkably energetic, seemingly unconcerned about the stares directed at him, and appearing to want nothing more than to rest immediately.

Seeing this, and thinking back to Shikamaru in her memory, Kagura could only sigh that he was indeed her biological son.

At this moment, everyone gradually recovered from their previous silence.

They held the scroll in their hands, their faces showing disbelief.

They did it! They really did it!

They actually managed to snatch the scroll that allowed them to pass the level from Kagura's hands.

Although they were well aware that Kagura was holding back, and holding back a massive amount of water.

After all, Kagura did not use a single ninjutsu other than taijutsu throughout the entire process.

At this moment, Kagura finally remembered her duty as an examiner.

After clearing his throat a few times to calm the crowd's excitement, he began counting the remaining candidates who had passed the test.

In fact, the scrolls were not completely divided.

There were a total of 99 scrolls, but in reality, only 93 people were still able to stand at the scene.

Although they did have more than 100 people when they first entered, many of them fell during Kagura's initial attack.

According to the rules, those who lost consciousness were considered failures and were eliminated from this Chunin tournament.

All I can say is that these people are neither very capable nor very lucky.

After all, Akimichi Choza and Hiashi, who were also attacked by Kagura, were fortunate enough to retain their consciousness.

Of course, Yamanaka Inoichi, one of them, can only be described as having extremely bad luck.

Even though Kagura tried to stop him, he still used the Mind Transfer Technique on her.

As expected, as soon as he entered Kagura's body, he was met with curious onlookers from the several tailed beasts inside her.

Even though it's a tailed beast created by the system, it's still a tailed beast.

After being subjected to several powerful gazes, he couldn't even last a second before being forced to dispel his ninjutsu.

He even fainted from shock.

As for the six scrolls that remained after this battle...

Without the slightest hesitation, Kagura destroyed the six scrolls right in front of everyone.

Whatever the reason, it's clear that those idiots outside are no longer capable of organizing a team of that size.

So Kagura didn't hold back and directly announced those people's defeat.

After the staff took the unconscious examinees away, Kagura addressed the assembled examinees:

"Alright, I'm sure you remember what the examiners said in the last round."

The final round of the Chunin Exams will be held in three days.

This also means that you only have one last round of assessment left today.

Now, please take out the scrolls you have and open them.

Upon hearing Kagura's words, all the examinees opened their scrolls without hesitation.

As the scroll slowly unfurled, they discovered some numbers written on it.

Everyone has some numbers that are the same, but many that are different.

But basically, these numbers are in the range of one to ten.

Just as they opened the scroll, ten doors suddenly opened on the wall behind Kagura.

Each of those doors was marked with a number from one to ten.

Seeing this, many astute candidates had already guessed the content of the next round of assessments.

Kagura clapped her hands, drawing everyone's attention before speaking:

"As you can see from the outside, it is a very tall white tower."

We examiners, however, prefer to call it the Tower of Trials.

The scrolls you just snatched are your tickets to the Tower of Trials.

Next, you need to enter the doors corresponding to the numbers on the scrolls in your hands one by one.

The assessment content is different for each door.

Some doors contain only a series of mechanisms, while others have examiners who are either Chunin or Jonin.

If you can successfully pass the test inside the door and reach the top of the tower, you will be considered to have passed this round of testing.

So next.

Good luck to everyone!

Chapter 64 What is the right choice?

As the sun slowly sank below the horizon, night fell once again over the sky.

After two assessments, time passed by unnoticed, and daytime turned into night.

Inside the White Pagoda.

After hearing Kagura's introduction, the group of examinees hesitated for a moment as they looked at the ten gates in front of them.

At this moment, they finally understood why the white tower looked so tall from the outside.

It turns out that besides Kagura, there are many other testing scenarios hidden here.

At this moment, Minato was the first to speak to Hiashi and Kushina beside him:

"Well then, I'll take my leave first."

See you on the rooftop!

After saying that, he took his scroll and walked into door number "3".

Kushina and Hiashi exchanged a smile, and after a brief farewell, they walked toward the corresponding door on their scrolls.
