Naruto: Two opponents versus Naruto, Konoha panics!

Just as the test takers' grievances were about to materialize...

A slightly playful voice rang out.

[Then a beautiful figure appeared in everyone's sight.]

Several masked ANBU ninjas followed behind.

"Don't waste your time."

"It was just passing this insignificant first test."

"I am the examiner for the second exam, Mitarashi Anko."

"Now, everyone follow me."

Having said that, Mitarashi Anko glanced at Naruto.

He then turned and left.

Seeing this scene.

Mitarashi Azuko breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately.

She did not die.

If I make the same appearance as before... I might get laughed at by Kurenai and Yugao.

Most people remained still, silently watching Ibihi.

However, not everyone is like that.

Sasuke had been waiting impatiently for a long time.

He stood up, put his hands in his pockets, and walked out of the examination room without hesitation.

Naruto shook his head and smiled, nodded to Ibiki, and then stood up.

As soon as he moved, the cockroaches immediately got up and followed.

Seeing this, Ibi quickly said, "Passing the first test is nothing; the real test is the second one. It's not too late to regret it now... To make a long story short, you'll find out when you get outside the training ground!"

[A moment later.]

[At this point, I hope readers will remember our domain name 12199.99]

"This is the examination room for the second exam."

"The Forest of Death, known as Konoha's most dangerous and deadliest training ground!"

As she spoke, Hongdou stuck out her long, pink tongue and licked her red lips.

[Now, the test-takers, who had just relaxed, were under stress again.]

Looking at the Forest of Death again, I instantly got goosebumps.

Seeing that the cockroaches seemed completely unaffected, Red Bean grew bored.

After briefly explaining the rules, he waved his hand dismissively.

"Alright, come up here and take turns signing the death consent form."

"It's not too late to regret it now."

"Otherwise, once the exam begins... you'll be responsible for your own life and death!"

This time, they didn't scare away many.

After glancing at all the genin present, Anko shook her head.

[It's good enough if you can make it halfway.]

The second test was a survival exercise—no, not even an exercise, it was a full-blown survival challenge.

[They not only have to face threats from other lower-ranking ninja.]

The Death Forest itself poses a significant threat.

[Various lurking dangers... the mere fact that it's a paradise for poisonous creatures is enough to terrify even the lowest ninja.]

Soon, the genin (lower-ranking ninja) all signed their death consent forms.

Then proceed to collect one of the Heaven and Earth Scrolls.

The five-day survival challenge has officially begun.

There are many entrances, so it's unlikely that a chaotic battle will immediately erupt as soon as you enter.

[The ninja exam naturally requires one to act like a ninja.]

[Not long after.]

The last team also entered the Forest of Death.

[Red Bean looked away.]

"Let's go, our mission is almost complete."

"I thought you were going to cause trouble." A cool, clear voice came from beside her as soon as Hongdou finished speaking.

[Red Bean turned around and looked at the ANBU ninja wearing an animal mask behind her, and chuckled, "You can't do anything reckless... Otherwise, how long can you withstand the electric shock training?"]

[Maoyue Xiyan: "..."]

"I'll go check over there."

【"ah--!!!"】

Just then.

A heart-wrenching scream echoed from within the Forest of Death.

"It's starting so soon?"

"That direction...that's Class 8."

Sakura murmured, then looked at Naruto, "Should we meet up?"

"No need, we can just walk towards the central tower as usual."

Naruto shook his head.

[Then, the distraction that had been raging with the giant fox within the sealed space was withdrawn.]

As Naruto entered the examination hall, he noticed that quite a few people were watching them.

[I estimate that once they enter, they'll come looking for my team very soon.]

[Relax your senses slightly.]

"A ninja from Kusagakure?"

Naruto was taken aback.

[They've clearly sensed what's happening to Hinata.]

[As Konoha's top reconnaissance squad.]

Their counter-surveillance capabilities are naturally outstanding.

Those ninja from Kusagakure were really unlucky; they set up such a trap, but ended up running into Team 8.

Only six people from Kusagakure passed.

Naruto narrowed his eyes slightly.

"She...shouldn't be here, right?"

While signing the death consent form, Naruto spotted the person he had been concerned about since entering the first exam hall.

That person who felt familiar and dear to him...

[He's a genin from Kusagakure.]

[Naruto pictured the girl's striking long red hair.]

[Perhaps...the possibility is slim, but it cannot be ruled out.]

After a moment's thought, Naruto changed direction.

Sakura and Sasuke naturally sensed that something was wrong.

However, neither of them spoke, silently following behind Naruto, wary of their surroundings.

[We've already confronted Sunagakure ninjas before the exam, so we should still be wary of genin from other villages.]

【"ah--!!!"】

Just then.

Another scream came from afar.

Sasuke paused in his steps.

"That direction... is the direction from which Sunagakure came in."

"It's the only way Class 8 can get to the Central Tower... Should we go?" Sakura asked.

[During the standoff that day.]

Those three Sunagakure genin are all quite strong.

[Especially Gaara at the end, carrying a sand gourd and able to control sandstorms.]

Even without a direct confrontation, Sasuke and Sakura felt a sense of pressure.

"No need, Hinata can handle everything."

As he spoke, Naruto looked in two other directions.

"Team 3 has Lee... and Neji is there too, so there shouldn't be too much danger."

【"Class 10..."】

"The Ino-Shika-Cho combo is enough to handle any unexpected situation, and with Shikamaru coordinating things... there's no need to go over there."

Even if danger does arise.

With this new Ninja Clan present...

These are not problems.

Because... the new Ninja Clan has been updated again.

[A new Flying Thunder God Technique, unique to Naruto, has been added.]

The Fourth Raikage: "???"

Tobirama Senju: "Hiss... As expected of you, Naruto with black-rimmed glasses!"

Orochimaru: "Hahaha~ I knew it~ I knew it! The moment Minato appeared, I knew that Naruto with black frames would do this!"

Tobirama Senju: "It's a ninjutsu I developed... Fine, isn't this exactly what I wanted?"

Hashirama Senju: Hahaha~

Hashirama Senju: Tobirama's techniques, once in the hands of Naruto with black frames... are like they've found a new master!

Hashirama Senju: Maybe we'll meet again soon, Madara~!

Uchiha Madara: Hmph!

Still arrogant.

Uchiha Izuna: Uh... I think it's fine if we meet in the gold-framed world. If we meet in the black-framed world... then it'll be Neganu's turn.

"Well then, it's time to deal with our own business." Naruto smiled faintly, having observed the androgynous Kusagakure ninja for a long time.

Kagura opened her mind's eye, and Naruto glanced in a certain direction.

Unfortunately, it seems that the red-haired girl was abandoned by her androgynous companion as soon as she entered.

"Alright, there's no danger there for now. We'll check again later."

Meanwhile, Sasuke and Sakura had already sensed something was amiss.

【"Heh~"】

Sasuke sneered, "Quite a few rats... Let's finish them off in one go."

[Then, he quickly formed hand seals.]

【"Fire Release: Great Flame Annihilation!"】
