This should be the Chunin Exam organized by our own village, but even so, it is still quite difficult and dangerous.

"OK."

Aoba nodded. "Let's start tomorrow then."

"Very good!"

Kai excitedly pumped his fist. "I can't wait!"

Kakashi remained aloof, but a fleeting moment of seriousness did not escape Aoba's notice.

"The location is set at the second training field."

Aoba said, "See you at eight o'clock tomorrow morning."

After saying that, he turned and left.

Kai looked at Qingye's retreating figure and suddenly spoke.

"Kakashi, how strong do you think Aoba is right now?"

Kakashi remained silent for a few seconds.

"have no idea."

"Huh?" Kai was taken aback. "Didn't you fight him before?"

"That happened a year ago."

Kakashi said calmly, "Besides, I lost that time."

Kai opened his mouth as if to say something, but ultimately kept it closed.

He knew very well that Kakashi's pride was such that he had to admit defeat, which was enough to show that Aoba's strength was indeed terrifying.

"But this time is different."

Kakashi suddenly added another sentence.

"Um?"

"Because I will beat him in the exam."

Kakashi raised his head, looked up at the sky, his resolve unwavering.

Kai grinned, revealing a bright smile.

"Well said! You truly are a worthy opponent; I will give it my all!"

……

After a period of adjustment, the Chunin Exams arrived as scheduled.

The entire Hidden Leaf Village became bustling with activity, with ninjas from various villages visible everywhere on the streets, and the air filled with an atmosphere of tension and excitement.

The first exam was a written test.

The examination room was full of people, all sitting upright and waiting for the examiner's instructions.

Aoba glanced at them and found that the younger ones were mostly from various clans or ninja families, while the commoner ninjas were mostly older, and there were even some genin in their twenties like Might Guy who came to take the exam.

Waiting is boring.

Aoba sat in the examination room, yawned, and even felt a little sleepy.

The so-called written test is essentially a test of intelligence gathering ability.

Of course, "academic geniuses" like Aoba are an exception. He disdains cheating to complete exams, and even if the exam papers haven't been released yet, he is confident that he can easily solve the problem.

Aoba glanced at Kai ahead; it was easier to be in front of him, and with Kakashi behind him, he didn't need to worry about him.

Kai was already incredibly nervous and sweating profusely even before the exam started.

A short while later, an examiner wearing a Jonin vest came in and quickly distributed the test papers.

Upon receiving the exam paper, Aoba simply glanced at it and knew there were no problems.

"The exam begins!"

As soon as the examiner gave the order, the entire examination room fell silent, with only the scratching sound of pens slicing across paper remaining.

Aoba was very fast; she wrote down the answer almost without thinking.

At this moment, Kai held a pen, staring wide-eyed at the exam paper, as if he wanted to "see through" it.

At that moment, a tiny, almost imperceptible grain of sand quietly climbed up Kai's back, and with a very light touch, "wrote" the answers one by one on his back.

Kai's body jolted, then he was overjoyed and began to write furiously.

Soon, the first exam ended, and all three passed without any doubt.

The second exam was held at Training Ground No. 44, known as the "Forest of Death".

The examiners described the horrors of the forest to all the candidates, even using the death pact to scare some away.

Seeing the few people leave in terror, Aoba knew that they would be relegated to the ranks of genin for the rest of their lives.

Even if they participate in the Chunin Exams later, their applications will be rejected.

"The rules are simple: obtain the Heaven and Earth Scroll and reach the central tower alive!"

At the examiner's command, all the teams instantly rushed into the forest.

"Aoba, which way do we go?"

Kai asked excitedly.

Aoba crouched down, closed his eyes, and touched the bottom with his sword finger, instantly spreading his chakra perception.

"Sensory ninjutsu?!"

Kakashi glanced at Aoba with some surprise, not expecting him to also know sensory ninjutsu.

They have the Earth Scroll, so they also need the Heaven Scroll.

The colors of the Heaven and Earth scrolls are slightly different, and the team that just got the Heaven Scroll flashed through my mind instantly.

"There's a small team about 500 meters away in that direction, which happens to be the Sky Scroll."

Aoba opened her eyes and pointed in a direction.

"Alright! Let's go!"

Kai couldn't wait any longer.

Before he could finish speaking, Kakashi had already rushed forward.

"what?"

Kai was stunned.

Aoba was not surprised at all; this was because Kakashi's "mission switch" had been triggered.

When the two arrived, Kakashi was already holding a scroll.

Aoba looked at the three people who had fallen to the ground. Fortunately, Kakashi knew it was an assessment and didn't kill them; they were just unconscious.

The scroll they took from Kakashi's hand was the Heavenly Scroll they had been missing.

"Done, job done."

From entering the forest to obtaining the scroll, the entire process took no more than five minutes.

"Too fast! Are we going straight to the tower?"

Kai was getting excited and couldn't wait to find someone for a youthful showdown.

"What else? Stay here and feed the mosquitoes?"

Aoba rolled his eyes. It seemed that Kai was itching to join in after seeing Kakashi make a move.

Fortunately, Kai knew that this was an assessment, not training.

The three sped along, perfectly avoiding all unnecessary battles and dangers thanks to Qingye's senses, and crossed the entire Death Forest at an unbelievable speed.

When the three of them appeared at the central tower, the ninja in charge of recording checked the time and was completely dumbfounded.

Without a doubt, they broke the record for the fastest completion of the Death Forest.

They not only broke the record for the fastest completion of the Chunin Exams, but it also seems that they haven't experienced any real battles at all.

The assessment team also learned through the monitoring playback that there was nothing wrong with the Aoba team.

However, they still reported the situation to the Third Hokage. After learning the details, Hiruzen Sarutobi simply nodded and then told them to continue with the normal assessment.

"You will have to stay here for the next three days until the exam ends."

The chunin pointed to the empty hall inside the tower.

There was nothing here except for the cold floor and walls.

Qingye glanced around, found a well-ventilated corner, unloaded the gourd from his back, and sat down against the wall.

Kakashi leaned coolly against the other pillar and closed his eyes.

Only Matt Kay remained energetic, doing push-ups on the spot while chanting slogans.

Waiting is boring.

Especially in such a spacious yet oppressive environment.

As the day went by, several small teams arrived one after another.
