I'm doing Jujutsu Kaisen in the ninja world.

Of course, calm and tranquility would be the best outcome.

Mei Terumi frowned slightly, knowing that the other party wouldn't speak without reason, but the problem was...

"All the examiners this time were selected from within Konoha, and the decision was made long ago. Even if I go to the Hokage to discuss this now, it won't make any difference. The only way is for you to disguise yourself as an examinee and sneak in..."

Shinji immediately shook his head; he wouldn't do something so low.

"There's no need to change the examiners, because there's never been any rule that an exam can only have one examiner. With the vast Death Forest as the exam venue, besides the chief examiner, there will definitely be many deputies responsible for taking the eliminated candidates out. As for manpower, we can discuss this with Konoha. I'm sure the Hokage won't forcefully refuse you for such a dispensable position; he'll most likely give you face."

"But what's the reason? I suddenly want to plant one of my own people in the exam, so I need a plausible reason. Besides, if I contact the Hokage in private, the Sand Village will probably become suspicious and wonder if I've already leaked the secret and sided with Konoha. It would be counterproductive."

Mei Terumi analyzed calmly.

Shinji gave her an approving look. "You're right. So you can't handle this alone. You need to involve the Kazekage! The reasons are readily available: the exam is held in Konoha, the exam content is set by Konoha, the examiners are all from Konoha, and even half of the examinees are from Konoha. From the perspective of Kirigakure and Sunagakure, it should be acceptable to have some reasonable doubts about the fairness of the exam."

"And who knows if the Konoha examinees will band together to deal with examinees from other ninja villages? It's almost certain to happen."

"As long as you state these reasons, in order to quell your and the Kazekage's doubts, and even to prove the fairness of the exam, the Hokage will definitely agree to your proposal without hesitation."

"And after this incident, Sunagakure will trust you even more and believe that Kirigakure is on their side, which is why they are trying to cause trouble for Konoha. That ambitious Kazekage will be very happy to be able to place his people in the examiner team for the next exam."

"Huh? What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"

After hearing this, Mei Terumi immediately looked him up and down. "I'm glad I signed that contract back then, otherwise I might have been sold out by you and still be counting the money for you."

"That's not entirely true. I treat my own people quite well, and you should know that very well, Lord Mizukage~"

At the end, Shinji deliberately used a strange tone to tease the woman in front of him.

Mei Terumi rolled her eyes in annoyance and turned to leave.

Why did you leave?

"Go run errands for some old man. His next exam starts the day after tomorrow. If I don't find someone now, will I have enough time?"

Upon hearing that dangerous and resentful tone, Shinji decisively shut up and pretended to be dead.

. . . . . .

Two days later, all the remaining candidates arrived in the Forest of Death to await the assessment.

Anko Mitarashi, the chief examiner, quickly announced the content of the exam.

There are 14 Heaven Scrolls and 14 Earth Scrolls, which are randomly assigned to 28 groups. Each group can only have one of the Heaven or Earth Scrolls at the beginning.

The condition for success is to collect a set of Heaven and Earth Scrolls within 5 days, traverse the Death Forest, and reach the destination.

This means that at least half of the candidates, or even more, will be eliminated in this exam.

Each group of test takers not only has to deal with all sorts of ferocious beasts, traps, and mechanisms in the Death Forest, but also has to be wary of each other, even those from the same village may not be trustworthy and could very well kill them!

Although such rules still cannot prevent collusion, they are enough to demonstrate Konoha's desire for a fair and just examination environment.

That's why the Hokage readily agreed when he learned that the Mizukage and Kazekage were coming together before the exam began.

The two examiners on either side were merely insignificant assistant examiners; agreeing to their request would not only prove the fairness of the exam but also demonstrate Konoha's magnanimity.

Anyway, when they left, the three Shadows were all smiling happily, feeling that they had gotten what they wanted and were completely won.

So here's the question: in this three-way game, if everyone wins, who loses?

Inside the Death Forest, a female ninja with a cold gaze stood on a tree and couldn't help but sneeze.

"Strange, why do I suddenly have the feeling that someone is watching me?"

Splash...

"Roar!"

With a deafening roar, a giant bear, over ten meters tall, pounced on the woman in the tree...

A dozen seconds later, the giant bear lay on the ground, and countless venomous snakes crawled all over its corpse.

Am I being too sensitive?

The woman casually brushed her hair back a couple of times; it had been accidentally ruffled by the wind during the battle... no, it should be said that it was during the brutal killing.

This body must be cherished.

Otherwise, if I were to die again, things would get complicated.

But before that, perhaps he could find some fun and catch up with his former disciples.

The slightly unripe fruit from back then has now reached the ripe age to be picked. I'm sure she'll be very happy with this surprise when we meet!

For example, to the point of liking someone so much that you tremble with fear?

After imagining it for a moment, the woman suddenly laughed very happily and became more and more excited about what was to come.

Little did she know that while she considered this place her hunting ground and everyone else her prey, there were others here preparing to hunt her!

Shinji, who had already entered the Forest of Death ahead of the examinees, squinted at the bright sun and then randomly chose a direction to start walking.

"Alright, time to go snake hunting."

[Chapter 233. Internal Strife! (Bonus chapter for the leader who almost died laughing!)]

Naruto strode through the Forest of Death with an air of arrogance, humming a local folk tune with an air of nonchalance.

The silly smile on his face seemed to be telling everyone, "I'm here for a picnic, come and grab me!"

Sakura, on the other hand, was at the other extreme. She had been on tenterhooks ever since she came in, and at the slightest sign of trouble, she would throw all the weapons in her ninja tool bag at them.

Upon discovering that it was just a white, plump rabbit, it immediately collapsed onto the ground in a duck-like sitting position.

Sasuke, on the other hand, kept a poker face, but in reality, he had already given up all hope for his two companions.

"If you really want to pass the exam, you still have to rely on yourself."

"However, it's too early to give up on them now. The later exams might still be team-based. Rather than temporarily teaming up with strangers we don't know, it's better to maintain the status quo."

After making up his mind, Sasuke entered serious mode.

Then, not long after, they encountered another group of people.

"Oh, it's you guys."

A young man with a bowl cut and thick eyebrows, dressed in a green bodysuit, suddenly brightened up when he saw the person who had arrived.

"What? It's you guys." Naruto was a little disappointed.

Sakura felt a chill and immediately warned, "Don't be careless. Even people from the same village can rob each other."

This wasn't the first time they had met; they had already seen each other back in the registration area for the Chunin Exams.

The two people standing in front of them, Rock Lee, Neji Hyuga, and Tenten, were students of Guy, Kakashi's good friend, and had graduated a year earlier than them.

When Kakashi went to carry out the mission assigned by the Hokage, he asked Guy to look after Naruto and the others when he had time, but he didn't expect it to take so long.

It's also worth mentioning that Lee fell in love with Sakura at first sight and was very interested in Sasuke, who was known as a genius, wanting to compete with him. However, he was stopped by Kakashi and Guy.

"Sakura, I never expected that we would meet here. Perhaps this is fate."

"Hey! Don't come any closer, you thick-browed monster!"

Sakura screamed and rejected Lee's advances. Sasuke frowned and immediately threw a punch.

Xiao Li immediately performed two backflips to create distance and assumed an attack stance.

At this moment, Tian Tian couldn't help but speak up, "Xiao Li, calm down. No girl will like you if you keep pestering her like this."

"Besides, it's still early, there's no need for infighting. We might as well go find people from other ninja villages."

Tian Tian is quite rational and compassionate.

She felt very sorry for Sakura, who was being targeted by Lee, so she didn't really want to fight them.

Neji, who remained silent, ignored Lee's actions and Tenten's suggestion, and his quiet presence alone exuded a sense of oppression.

It seems he doesn't want to leave a reputation for bullying the weak and targeting his own fellow villagers.

But if Xiao Li insists on fighting, as his comrade, he will only go all out to defeat the enemy!

Cold on the outside but warm on the inside – that's probably the best description of this type of person.

Sakura didn't want to fight, and naturally, she didn't want to fight either, as long as Lee didn't bother her.

But at that moment, Sasuke's words suddenly made the atmosphere become heavy.

"Whether or not to fight is not up to you to decide, but rather depends on whether you have the scroll I want."

mad!

That's incredibly arrogant!

Even Tenten's expression turned ugly, and she glared at Sasuke with hostility.

It was meant well, but it made it seem like they were scared!

Then Neji pulled out a scroll from his pocket, which was marked with...land.

Upon seeing this, Sakura felt a sense of relief. "Oh, that's great. It seems we don't have to fight anymore."

However, this is not the case.

Lee flashed in front of Sasuke and delivered a spinning kick!

With a loud bang!

Although Sasuke managed to block with his arm, he couldn't counteract Lee's strength and immediately showed a pained expression, "That's heavy!"

bang bang bang...

Without saying a word, the two started fighting.

Sakura said somewhat anxiously, "We are also Earth Scrolls, there's no need for us to fight."

At this point, Neji finally spoke, "Showing the scroll was only at his invitation, and it doesn't mean anything. Arrogant people always need to be taught a lesson. Of course, if you're not satisfied, you're welcome to attack."

He always had a cold face and stopped saying nice things; he directly reached for his ninja tool bag.

She will immediately launch a counterattack if the other party dares to take any action.

Sakura was anxious about the situation on the field, but she didn't make any rash moves because she knew that if she did, the misunderstanding would only get worse and eventually spiral out of control.

But she forgot one thing: Naruto, who was beside her, was not someone who could analyze situations.
