Naruto: I, who didn't want to be hacked to pieces, saved the ninja world.

Kagura's Mind's Eye, activated!

He could clearly see the chakra aura of everyone present.

A group of genin (lower-ranking ninja) mixed in with one of the legendary ninja.

Orochimaru's cold chakra stood out like a star in the darkness.

After memorizing the other party's chakra, he did not make a fuss.

Orochimaru is someone I still intend to use.

After all, the two of them now share the same goal.

The rules have been explained.

Yakumo also received a scroll from Azuko.

The two had a good relationship.

"Yakumo, be very careful during the exam. If something happens to you, that Kurenai guy might kill me."

Red Bean tapped Yakumo on the head as a reminder.

"With Aoba here, you don't need to worry, Teacher Hongdou."

Yakumo responded with a smile and then returned to Shirakumo Aoba and Hinata's side.

"It is the scroll of heaven."

"In other words, we're going to steal the Scroll of Earth."

Baiyun Qingye said something pointless.

"Okay, I'll leave this to you."

Yakumo simply shoved the Heavenly Scroll into his hand.

The Heaven and Earth Scrolls are the core props for the second exam.

It's safer to entrust it to Baiyun Qingye for safekeeping.

"Alright, let's set off then."

Baiyun Qingye put away the celestial scroll.

He led Yakumo and Hinata into the Forest of Death.

As soon as they entered, the surrounding environment suddenly darkened.

The tall trees blocked out most of the light, and the atmosphere around them instantly became gloomy.

Hinata and Yakumo immediately became alert and then showed expressions of fear.

They each took Baiyun Qingye's arm, one on each side, as if this would make them feel safe.

"Aoba, this Death Forest is so eerie, it feels so scary."

The white clouds and green leaves are speechless; even their normal conversation sounds like they're speaking in a tea-like tone.

"It's alright, the sunlight isn't very good here..."

"what!"

A sudden scream interrupted Bai Yunqingye's explanation.

"It seems that someone is already vying for the scroll."

Baiyun Qingye looked in the direction from which the sound came.

The Death Forest was entered in batches, and they were among the later arrivals.

So this situation is normal; it's probably because a team confident in their abilities was lying in wait at the entrance beforehand.

Should we go over and take a look?

Yakumo asked Shirakumo Aoba for his opinion.

Baiyun Qingye sensed it for a moment, then shook his head.

"No need, they've already run far away."

While catching up wouldn't be difficult, it's not necessary either.

One more opportunity won't make a difference.

"it is good."

Both girls were quite obedient.

"Where do we go now?"

Yakumo blinked and asked again.

"Let's go meet up with Sakura and the others first."

With that, Shirokumo Aoba changed direction and walked towards the location of Sakura and the others' chakra.

At that moment, Yakumo and Hinata exchanged a glance, both understanding the meaning in each other's eyes.

He nodded.

Then, grabbing Baiyun Qingye's arm, they stopped in their tracks.

Caught off guard, Baiyun and Qingye both stumbled slightly.

He looked at the two women with a puzzled expression.

"what happened?"

"Aoba-kun, can we go see them a little later?"

Hinata blinked her large, bright, white eyes, looking quite pitiful.

It struck Baiyun Qingye's heart directly, leaving him utterly defenseless.

"Shall we go see them tomorrow?"

"Ok!"

Hinata and Yakumo both laughed happily at the same time.

"However, we still need to ensure their safety."

Baiyun Qingye temporarily withdrew her hands from the two women's embrace.

After forming the hand seals, more than ten wooden clones appeared beside him.

Despite their strength, few genin could rival Sakura and her friends.

However, there are quite a few people with special skills in this Chunin Exam, so it's best to be careful.

The quality of the wooden clones is even better than that of the shadow clones, and these dozen or so wooden clones are enough to protect Sakura and the others in the dark.

If any special circumstances arise, he can detect them in time.

We also need to arrange a few for Sasuke and Naruto.

Although Orochimaru didn't mean any harm, he just wanted to give Sasuke a hickey.

He was also frequently given strawberries.

But Orochimaru's strawberry will actually grow into Orochimaru.

After everything was arranged.

Shirokumo Aoba then led Hinata and Yakumo on a leisurely stroll through the Forest of Death.

What others saw as a stressful and perilous forest of death was, to the three of them, like a leisurely trip.

Baiyun Qingye was also very familiar with the Death Forest.

He immediately became a tour guide.

He, Sakura, and Risaku had secretly come to this place countless times at night.

Chapter 243 Orochimaru Appears

"Another Heavenly Scroll."

Naruto glanced at the scroll in Sasuke's hand and gave him a disgusted look.

"As expected, Sasuke, your luck is just terrible. I'll take your turn next time!"

"Don't worry, today is only the first day of the exam, there are still four days to go."

Sai smiled and offered a word of comfort.

Although he was quite capable, he was always being asked to do everything by his two teammates, which made him feel like he was just coasting along and winning.

"Whoever is the fastest gets it."

Sasuke just pursed his lips; he couldn't really argue with the idea of luck.

He had already dealt with several teams, but they all had the same Heavenly Scroll as them.

flutter!

Just then, a small bird with an ink-wash style suddenly landed on Sai's shoulder.

"We've found another team."

Sai said with a smile.

"where?"

Naruto couldn't wait any longer.

"It's over there."

Sai raised his hand and pointed in one direction.

Naruto rushed out.
