In Konoha, you call this a ninja tool?

It gives the feeling of a wild beast lurking in the shadows, instilling an endless sense of death in one's heart.

There was also a faint salty, fishy smell in the air.

Many people who stepped into this place for the first time trembled slightly.

Meanwhile, Neji, Rock Lee, and Tenten, the trio, stepped into the examination hall.

"Hmph, my brother lied to me again!"

Seeing the state of the forest before him,

Every day, she stood with her hands on her hips, pouting her little mouth in slight anger.

Lee Locke leaned closer, his face full of curiosity, and asked, "What did Tianyu lie to you about?"

"He said he had prepared a secret weapon for me before this exam."

"What weapon?"

Now, even Neji looked over curiously.

Anything that Tianyu can offer is never ordinary.

If Tianyu gives Tiantian another powerful weapon this time, then they will basically have a sure thing in this exam.

Under the expectant gazes of Rock Lee and Neji,

Every day, she reluctantly unpacks the burdens she carries on her back.

"My brother said this was the picnic spot, so he specially asked me to bring a pot! This is the secret weapon he prepared for me..."

They took out a large, dark-colored pot from it.

Among them was a complete list of seasonings that Tianyu had prepared for her long ago.

"..."

Neji Hyuga and Rock Lee were immediately speechless.

This preparation by Tianyu,

Thunder is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

"This... is something that Brother Tianyu would actually do."

A slightly embarrassed smile appeared on Xiao Li's face.

"For Brother Tianyu, this Death Forest is indeed just a place for a picnic, isn't it?"

"Cough cough..."

After adjusting for a while,

Neji finally adjusted his mindset.

As the captain of their squad, he gave instructions to Tian Tian and Li Luoke.

"In short... we still need to proceed with caution."

Although the three of us are all quite capable, to avoid any unexpected situations, we still need to complete the task as soon as possible and pass the exam.

"So the next task is to seize the scroll. Apart from the three groups including Naruto's, the other teams are likely to be our enemies."

Moreover, the dangers don't stop there. The dark environment of the forest and the venomous insects and wild beasts can also pose a threat to us. In addition, we have to rely on our own strength to obtain food, which increases the difficulty of the mission. Hyuga Neji took out a kunai and silently waved it in his hand.

"Is it really that complicated? With our strength... there's practically nothing that can pose a threat to us, right?" Rock Lee said.

"It's always better to be careful," Hyuga Neji said, frowning.

Even if we are very strong, it is impossible for us to be on guard 24 hours a day.

In such an environment, being ambushed is a very common occurrence.

And what if the two of us don't protect Tiantian well and she gets hurt...

Rock Lee, you don't want to bear that man's wrath either, do you?

Upon hearing this, in Rock Lee's mind,

A truly terrifying scene immediately came to mind.

He instantly felt a chill run down his spine.

Ok,

We were definitely threatened!

Let's follow Neji's advice and proceed with caution.

Hyuga Neji looked at Tenten and Lee.

After everyone had no objections to his arrangements, he raised his hand and gave the order:

"Since there are no other problems... let's set off!"

Whoosh whoosh!

The three of them transformed into three black shadows.

They leaped towards the central tower of the Death Forest.

Meanwhile, outside the Forest of Death.

"Oh, we can finally take a break."

Mitarashi Anko walked up to Ten's side and said rather leisurely.

"Then you can rest here. I'm going into the Death Forest, so you don't need to come with me," Tianyu said.

"what?"

Mitarashi Anko's face showed a slight surprise.

"I know your sister is also taking the exam, but she's not so weak that she needs you to help her cheat in order to pass the exam, is she?"

And if you go in and disrupt the exam...

This will cause dissatisfaction among other candidates.

"Don't worry, I won't interfere with the exam." Tianyu's lips curled into a smile. "I'm just going in to find someone."

"Looking for someone? Who?" Mitarashi Anko asked, puzzled.

"Didn't you notice those three grass ninjas just now? They... were acting very strangely." Tengo leaned close to Mitarashi Anko and said in a voice only the two of them could hear.

"Grass Ninja? What... happened to them?" Mitarashi Anko was completely bewildered.

Tianyu simply smiled and pointed to her neck.

Then Mitarashi Anko's expression changed drastically, and her face turned extremely ugly.

All his previous nonchalance vanished, replaced by a rare seriousness on his face.

"You mean... that man has returned to Konoha, right...?"

"What do you think?" Tianyu asked in return.

Mitarashi Anko gritted her teeth and prepared to rush into the Forest of Death.

"Whatever his purpose is, I must stop him! Even if it costs me my life..."

"Wait a minute."

However, just before Mitarashi Anko rushed out.

She suddenly felt a powerful force pressing down on her shoulder, preventing her from taking another step towards the Death Forest.

"You're no match for him, why rush over there? I already told you I'm going to find him." Tianyu said with a relaxed smile, seemingly not at all nervous about Orochimaru's appearance in Konoha.

"That……"

Mitarashi Anko knew her own strength; she was indeed no match for Orochimaru.

Moreover, Tianyu's strength is also greater than his own.

At this point, it would be more appropriate for him to enter the Forest of Death to find Orochimaru.

So Mitarashi Anko immediately gritted her teeth and said:

"Then I'll go report this to the Hokage right now."

"Tianyu, all you need to do is keep that man occupied. I'll bring reinforcements as soon as possible."

"whatever."

Tianyu waved to her.

Then they simply disappeared from the spot and entered the Death Forest.

Even if Mitarashi Anko didn't report the situation here to Sarutobi Hiruzen, he could probably guess the gist of it by now.

I killed three grass ninja in the Land of Fire a few days ago.

And the person who could take away their face,

There aren't many people who know this kind of secret technique.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was simply unable to pinpoint Orochimaru's true identity and was merely observing the situation.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have specifically chosen himself.

Become the examiner of the second exam, the Death Forest.

What he hoped for was that his existence could help him fight against Orochimaru and reduce student casualties, right?

However, what Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't expect was...

Orochimaru is also one of his targets!

Chapter 131 The snake is so big that it can't be stewed in one pot.

In the Death Forest,

"Sasuke...Naruto lured that giant snake away...Will he be alright?" Sakura asked timidly.

“No problem… a snake of that size is no match for Naruto. Don’t underestimate Naruto.” Sasuke said calmly. “But why is that snake here?… I feel like this matter is definitely not that simple.”
