I started sweating profusely.

Furthermore, Ibiki Morino has a tenth question hidden after the ninth.

That difficult choice—a wrong answer means immediate elimination, all previous efforts will be wasted, and even the future of teammates may be ruined.

In an instant, heavy pressure loomed over the hearts of every candidate like a dark cloud, forcing them to make a painful choice.

When the written exam finally ended, more than half of the candidates left the room disappointed.

Out of 101 teams, only 43 teams were able to advance to the next stage.

"So many people actually passed?"

"Alright, everyone can go back and rest now, and prepare for the second round of challenges tomorrow."

"You'd better get some rest. Tomorrow, I'll eliminate at least half of you."

With a crisp voice, Mitarashi Anko burst through the window.

This time, she was still in the role of examiner.

Chapter 164 This grass ninja looks easy to bully.

The next day arrived in the blink of an eye.

All the candidates gathered at the edge of the Death Forest, ready to go.

After yesterday's written test, 43 teams, totaling 130 people, are left.

The second test will unfold in this vast forest—teamwork.

That forest covers an astonishing 3.14 million square meters!

Within a radius of twenty kilometers, more than a hundred people scattered within would be like a drop in the ocean, easily concealing their presence.

The roles of hunter and prey can be switched at any time here.

Good morning, Yuzuki!

Naruto waved happily.

Class 7 had already lined up early in the morning and had been waiting for a long time.

When Yuzuki appeared with a lazy yawn, Naruto and the other examinees had already received their respective scrolls.

Faced with Naruto's seemingly inexhaustible energy, Yuzuki could only wave her hand weakly.

This time, I didn't wake up naturally again.

"Yuyue, hurry up and get your scroll, the exam is about to begin!"

Naruto walked behind Yuuki and gently pushed him forward.

"Okay, okay, I'll go right away."

Mitarashi Anko was responsible for distributing scrolls behind a makeshift curtain.

"Hi, examiner, I'm here to get the scroll."

Yuyue walked lightly through the curtain.

Mitarashi Anko, who was busy writing with her head down, said without looking up, "Why are you only coming over now? Everyone else has already picked up their things and left."

"Ha~ I got up a little late, but I guess I'm still on time."

"Sign up."

Hongdou looked up, her eyes asking a question.

"Shinomiya Yuzuki".

“Shinomiya Yuzuki…” Mitarashi Anko lowered her head and began searching through the documents in her hands.

"Hey, why are you all alone? Where's your team? Where's your Jonin instructor? Why were you the only one sent to take the exam?"

She glanced at the documents, her face full of confusion.

A person comes to participate in the Chunin Exams alone? This is no joke; a slight mistake could lead to death!

Seeing the somewhat puzzled Mitarashi Anko, Yuuki had a sudden realization.

It seems that Konoha hasn't widely publicized its situation; at least Mitarashi Anko is completely clueless.

Yuyue grinned and explained, "I don't have any of those things you mentioned. I've always been a one-man army."

“Well… how should I arrange your exam? This is a test of teamwork.” Mitarashi Anko frowned.

"That's not a problem. I'm a team all by myself. I just need to cooperate well with myself."

"With your personality... fine, but without teammates' help, your situation will be much more dangerous than others."

"Remember, don't push yourself. If you really can't take it, quit the exam. Safety first."

Mitarashi Azuko earnestly gave him her advice.

Yuyue grinned and said confidently, "Don't worry, I do have some skills."

Mitarashi Anko nodded slightly, said nothing more, and handed Yuzuki a scroll.

"Shinomiya Yuzuki, this is your scroll. Keep it safe."

"Remember, don't open it without permission, otherwise..."

"Hey, what are you doing!"

Before she could finish speaking, Mitarashi Anko's face was filled with astonishment.

Yuzuki closed the scroll sheepishly. "Sorry, I was just curious about what was written inside."

Mitarashi Anko stared blankly at him.

After a long pause, she managed to squeeze out, "Are you alright?"

Yuzuki tied the scroll to her waist, somewhat puzzled:

Why would anything happen to me?

"But……"

Mitarashi Anko's gaze darted back and forth between Yuzuki and the scroll, filled with surprise.

"The scroll contains hypnotic magic; once opened, one will be affected and fall unconscious."

"This is for those candidates who are too curious and don't follow the rules; opening it will result in elimination."

Mitarashi Anko couldn't help but ask, "How come you're alright?"

Yuzuki smiled awkwardly:

"Maybe I'm just physically strong."

Mitarashi Anko looked at him with a mixture of disbelief and skepticism.

But no matter how you look at it, he's just an ordinary boy, nothing special except for his slightly handsome appearance.

So she waved her hand and said, "Okay, okay, you go and prepare. The exam is about to start."

"I'll let it slide this time, but you can't open the scroll after the exam starts!"

"That could really get you out of the game."

Mitarashi Anko earnestly gave her instructions.

"Definitely not."

Yuzuki nodded solemnly.

After Yuzuki turned and left, Mitarashi Anko ticked off the list in her hand.

"Alright, the final preparations are almost ready to begin."

As Mitarashi Anko closed the list, she was about to leave when her gaze inadvertently fell on another scroll beside her.

Was there a problem with that scroll?

Mitarashi Anko didn't believe Yuuki's explanation; what special constitution could a young boy have?

She is more inclined to believe that the problem lies with the scroll itself.

Once your eyes are on that scroll, it's hard to look away; curiosity surges like a tide.

As if guided by some strange force, Mitarashi Anko picked up the scroll.

Let me see what's going on.

She opened the scroll with great curiosity.

The next moment, Mitarashi Anko fell straight to the ground, her face peaceful.

Soon, even breathing could be heard.

It's so good to be young; you can fall asleep whenever you want.

A few minutes passed quietly, accompanied by even snoring.

"Da da da……"

A series of hurried footsteps approached rapidly from afar.

"Red Bean, the exam is about to start. Why aren't you going to announce the start of the exam? What are you doing here?"

Ibiki Morino's voice came clearly along with the sound of footsteps, tinged with a hint of doubt.

Everyone waited expectantly, but the examiner never showed up.

Having no other choice, Ibiki Morino had to come and check it out himself.

He strolled to the scroll distribution area and abruptly lifted the curtain that was covering it.

"Red Bean, what's wrong with you...?"

The scene before him astonished him:

Mitarashi Anko was lying on the ground, sleeping soundly.

"Has it been hypnotized by the curse seal in the scroll?"
