After they left, all that was left were the still unconscious Kusagakure Ninja... and the Scroll of Earth that had fallen to the ground and no one had picked it up.

Shikamaru observed for a while, and his shadow stretched out.

It then transformed into a physical entity and rolled up the Scroll of Earth.

"I got the scroll, which just happens to correspond to our Heavenly Scroll."

Nothing unexpected happened, Shikamaru breathed a sigh of relief: "Let's go to the central tower, we are lucky this time."

After all, it was all thanks to Class 7.

Treat them to a meal after the exam.

Here, Zhu Lu Die was lucky and advanced without any injuries.

Of course there are also those who are unlucky...

"Sandstorm funeral!"

In a corner of the Forest of Death, Gaara clenched his right hand.

With a cold snort, the unlucky ninja wrapped in the sand burped on the spot, and his flesh and bones were squeezed into a pool of mud.

After killing this man, the sand flew back into the sand gourd behind Gaara, and what fell to the ground was just a scroll of earth...

"Tsk, the same scroll."

Kankuro took a look and sighed regretfully.

A group of people were killed in vain.

As he spoke, his eyes glanced somewhere: "I wonder if the other team's scroll is from the sky... or the earth?"

Team 8 hiding in a tree: "!!!"

What a coincidence!

It just so happens that we have the Scroll of Heaven!

Determining the enemy's position by relying on perception-based ninjutsu, while hiding nearby and planning to take advantage of the conflict between the two parties, this is a standard tactic.

Who knew that the enemy was so terribly strong and cruel!

Just one person took action and directly crushed the rude team.

The stench and murderous aura that was gradually spreading made Inuzuka Kiba's face turn pale.

"H-What should we do? Escape?"

“I don’t have the confidence to defeat them.”

"Wang!"

"Akamaru is right, we have to leave quickly!"

The three of them exchanged a few words and wanted to leave secretly.

Of course, they didn't get away.

A few minutes later, three siblings from the Sand Village blocked their way.

"Take the initiative to hand over the scroll. This is for your own good." Gaara's brother Kankuro kindly advised.

Temari agreed, "Yes, yes, we don't want to hurt anyone either."

Gaara was silent.

But the sand around him was restless.

It seemed as if they would rush out and start killing in the next moment!

To be honest, Temari and Kankuro didn't care about the life and death of Konoha ninjas, but now their brother was a little abnormal...

I'm going berserk and want to kill someone.

If it goes berserk enough, it might turn into a tailed beast.

The brother and sister, who were facing a powerful enemy, did not want to provoke Gaara with fighting anymore, so they tried to persuade him with kind words, because they did not want to hurt anyone from the bottom of their hearts.

Class 8 looked at each other in bewilderment.

"For you guys."

In the end, it was Shino who made the decision.

He used insects to transport the Scroll of Heaven.

The two sides took over peacefully and lived in peace.

Kankuro and Temari breathed a sigh of relief.

On the treetops, Naruto's shadow clone who was observing secretly also breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, there was no fight.

Otherwise the main body will have to be busy again.

——————

At the central tower, Class 7 was the first to arrive.

According to the rules, after entering the central tower, they opened the scroll of heaven and earth and threw it to the ground... and the preset spiritualism was directly activated.

The smoke rose and Chunin Iruka appeared before everyone.

Sakura was surprised: "Iruka-sensei?"

Naruto greeted, "Yo, old class!"

Sasuke and Karin didn't talk. One was usually taciturn, and the other was not familiar to them at all.

"You are the first to pass the exam."

Iruka was very pleased to see the familiar faces of his students: "That's right, you are the best students in my teaching career!"

Iruka, as the class teacher, was very clear about the configuration of the three of them. Even if he didn't know the full strength of Naruto and Sasuke, he knew that they would have no problem passing the second exam.

Then, Iruka briefly introduced the effect of the Scroll of Heaven and Earth... This thing is a one-time summoning technique that can be used as soon as it is opened.

If it opens in the central tower, it passes.

If you open it in the Death Forest, you will be disqualified.

"You've been quite busy then, class teacher." Naruto said, "There must be many people who have secretly opened the Heaven and Earth Scroll, trying to forge it in order to pass the exam."

Iruka said, "Really? After all, there are only a few candidates like this. So far, no one has tried to cheat."

It seems that due to the decrease in the number of candidates, the original plot has been cut again.

Naruto asked, "So, the second game is over? We can go now?"

In the original book, because there were too many qualified candidates, an elimination competition had to be held temporarily to screen out half of the candidates.

But now...

"If you ask me, I don't know either."

Iruka helplessly spread his hands and said: "Go back and wait for notification."

Naruto suddenly realized, that's right.

In the original novel, Class 7 passed the exam on the fifth day and immediately participated in the temporary elimination round; but now they have submitted their papers in advance, so the treatment is naturally different.

The teacher and student chatted for a while, and then Iruka left.

"Let's go! Let's go get a temporary residence permit for Karin-chan first. I need to take her to the hospital, so dinner doesn't have to wait for me."

Sakura was still thinking about Karin's injuries.

After being sucked so many times, your vitality must have been like a candle in the wind, right?

With good luck, you can rest well for the rest of your life.

If you are unlucky, you might die in a few years.

She thought so based entirely on common sense, ignoring the Uzumaki clan's abnormal vitality... and the fact that Karin, who was standing in front of you, was theoretically the one with the highest Uzumaki bloodline talent!

"Okay, you guys go back to Konoha first."

Naruto warned Sasuke: "Orochimaru must be targeting you. You'd better not go back to the Uchiha clan land. That place is not safe."

With Sasuke's current strength, there is no need for the curse seal plug-in.

With Indra as a teacher, there is probably no need to betray the village and go find Orochimaru, so there is really no need to contact Aunt Snake.

"I know." Sasuke responded, and then asked, "What about you?"

Naruto said, "I'll wait for someone."

He found a corner in the hall and hid himself there.

Then the sun sets and night falls.

Many acquaintances arrived one after another.

It was not until the early morning of the next day that the last batch of the eighth class arrived!

All they had was a scroll of earth.

Obviously, he was eliminated.

Chapter 117: Holding Hinata's Hand

After Gaara killed everyone, he didn’t even bother to pick up the same scroll of earth.

Go directly to the central tower and pass the test.

The Eighth Team was unwilling to be eliminated, so they picked up the Scroll of Earth and tried to find a team with the Scroll of Heaven...

It turns out, no.

There were thirty-three people in eleven teams, but only five teams were qualified.

When Hinata searched the entire map with her Byakugan, she found that many teams had either been eliminated or had successfully reached the central tower.

The carpet search lasted until the early morning. The three of them ran around the central tower several times, followed the traces for a long time, and even had a fight with the awakened Kusagakure ninja...

It was not until Hinata's Byakugan saw five teams passing through the central tower that they were forced to admit that Team 8 was out.

The five-day exam ended in just one afternoon.

There is no chance of pulling at all.

"Hey, you finished the exam?"

Seeing them appear, Naruto poked his head out from the side and greeted them.

"Yeah." Shino half-hid his face in his collar and said in a low voice: "If you ask why, it's because we..."

"We are already the last team!" Inuzuka Kiba interrupted Shino unconsciously and wailed: "Really, are all the candidates this year monsters? Not to mention your team 7, the three from the Sand Village are simply terrifying..."

"Woof!" Akamaru called out in agreement.

Shino: “…”

I haven't finished speaking yet.

Inuzuka Kiba complained bitterly and recounted his own experiences.

Naruto's shadow clone watched the whole exam and knew that Team 8 was really unlucky as they had to face Team 3 throughout the entire exam.

One team has the same Earth Scroll, one team has no scroll, and one team holds the Sky Scroll... but the holder is Gaara.

"Luck is also part of strength."

Naruto consoled him, "It's unrealistic to become a Chunin right after graduation. The leader is just giving us some experience."

Inuzuka Kiba sighed: "That being said... you guys in Team 7 will definitely become Chunin, right?"

Naruto shook his finger: "Not necessarily, not necessarily."

It depends on whether you have the opportunity to perform.

If Orochimaru launched the Konoha collapse plan before I took the stage, I would probably still be a Genin...

Naruto doesn't care whether he is promoted to Chunin or not.
