[Konoha, Training Ground No. 44.

The venue for the second team competition of the Chuunin Joint Examination.

It is a circular proving ground surrounded by forty-four locked entrances.

The field not only gathers several common terrains such as rivers, forests, and hills, but also contains extremely dangerous creatures such as poisonous insects, pythons, and wild beasts.

A tower is built in the center of the training ground, which is also the final destination of the second trial.

The straight-line distance from the entrance to the destination is about ten kilometers.

I don’t know if it’s to fit in with the meaningful number ‘forty-four’, or because there are bones belonging to different creatures buried in this venue.

In short, this place is also known as the Forest of Death!]

"You already know the general situation of this trial ground."

"Then quickly sign this consent form for me."

"Otherwise, if you accidentally die in here, it will be my responsibility, hahaha."

Mitarashi Anko, who had one hand on her waist, explained happily, while she was holding a lot of paper in her other hand, and there was a "squeaking" sound as she stirred.

I think this is the consent form he spoke of.

Such direct words also caused the expressions of many young ninjas present to suddenly change. After all, most genin are underachievers in the ninja world who lack experience and strength. The tasks they have performed are basically the simplest D and C tasks.

There are very few guys like Kabuto who deliberately fail the trials many times in order to hide their strength and wait for an opportunity.

Even the ninjas from other ninja villages saw them for the first time, but now they are told that a trial is accompanied by the risk of death. How can these little guys let go easily?

"Excuse me, what does death mean?"

No, under the whispers, a little guy with a naive face and lack of confidence asked.

Judging from the forehead protector he was wearing, he should be a ninja belonging to Kusakure Village.

Such questions also aroused the attention of most of the ninjas present.

After all, this is Konoha Hidden Village, not some notorious 'Blood Mist' Kirigakure Village!

"Hey, that's a really cute question."

"I don't know how that guy Morino Ihiki allowed a little sheep to pass the first ninja exam."

Seeing Kusakakumura who was behind his companions and showing some flinching, Mitarashi Anko chuckled and stuck out her tongue and licked her thin lips.

"Well, to die, of course, means to die."

"Why, as a ninja, you haven't seen a dead person yet?"

"Then your leading teacher is really somewhat unqualified."

The woman always had a smile on her face, but the words she spoke made people feel creepy.

"If you don't have the consciousness to die in the mission, then it's best not to wear the ninja forehead protector that symbolizes your identity."

"This is not a child's toy."

"And if you are really afraid of death, then you still have a chance to withdraw from this trial now. It is not impossible to wait for the Wen Tun test in your own Ninja Village next year."

"Of course, once you withdraw, it will also be regarded as a team withdrawal."

"After all, even if one person is afraid, the whole team will be affected during the mission!!"

Mitarashi Anko's voice suddenly turned cold.

The narrowed eyes burst out with a chilling and cold edge.

Obviously, a guy who has a fearful attitude in the face of danger, or who is not yet fully prepared to become a ninja, cannot please her.

You must know that three years ago, a being who was the same age as these little guys, no, to be precise, younger than most of the genin present, had already had the consciousness to rush into the enemy camp alone to save his companions.

[There is really a huge gap between human beings.]

After sighing softly in her heart, the cold look on Mitarashi Anko's face slowly melted away. After all, if all the juniors were like that one, then the seniors like them would really be ashamed to death.

"Well, since I am your senior and the examiner of the second assessment, I will teach you one more thing on behalf of your leading teacher."

"The mission is not a mission for one person, but a mission for all members of this team."

"So, if you haven't awakened to unify your will and can't commit your life to it, then get out of the ranks of ninjas as soon as possible."

"After all, you don't want to see your companions die because of your own fear!"

"That is the pain and guilt you will never forget."

"Ninja is not a cool profession!"

Mitarashi Anko warned with a serious face.

Under such instructions, among the twenty-six teams that passed the assessment, some looked solemn, some looked indifferent, and some looked worried...

As for these, women are naturally not considered.

Immediately, a relaxed smile appeared on her lips again.

"Sa, are you ready? If you are willing to continue to participate in the assessment, please sign this agreement. If you are not willing, then go home as soon as possible."

"Hurry up, move faster."

"It's been a long time."

The dashing Anko Mitarashi began to shake the stack of papers in her hand gradually and impatiently.

Under such urging, a Konoha genin who was close to the examiner immediately took the stack of consent forms, and after drawing three, handed them to the surrounding teams.

During this period, no one chose to leave.

Because they all came here with the important mission of each village. They are a carefully selected group of talented people. They must have experience in physical skills, illusion skills, strategy, ninjutsu, and medical ninjutsu. In short, they must have experience in some aspects.

People's place.

Once they can survive this second test, they will stand on the real stage of the ninja world and win honor for their respective ninja villages.

Similar resonances arose among many teams. In such a hypothetical mood, these little guys squeezed the consent form with their fingers a little harder.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! And looking at this scene, a trace of pity quietly emerged from the corners of Mitarashi Anko's eyes.

【You are really naive.】

[Ninjas do not live glamorously under the light and shadow. 】

[Sometimes, choosing to give up can be regarded as a courageous and rational decision.]

Through communication with Morino Ihiki, she already knew what happened during yesterday's assessment.

The last pressing question called [Choose or Not Choose] was completely solved by the stupid-looking blond kid by mistake, which is why so many people participated in the second assessment.

Naturally, there were more little ones who were not mentally strong enough.

However, everything that needs to be said has been said.

It was the genin themselves who made the final decision, not her.

At the same time, when the consent forms were being distributed, the teams cheered each other up, complained and speculated:

"It's just the most basic survival test. Don't be afraid. We have already experienced these trials, even in more difficult environments."

"You're right. The consequences were publicized so horribly. Now it seems like it's just a team competition to test the speed of crossing the terrain. It's no big deal."

"Konoha is Konoha after all. How can it be difficult like Kirigakure does?"

"That's right. I guess it's exactly the same as the last question yesterday. It's a bluff! But how can the same trick work the second time?"

"However, since we want to reduce the number of teams to half, we must choose the top thirteen, or even the top ten teams."

"Remember, don't be too eager to fight if something happens later, just rush straight to it!"

"..."

When she noticed that all the [Death Waiver Consent Forms] had been distributed, and the trial conclusion rang in her ears, Mitarai Anko finally seemed to have remembered something very important, and said slowly and jokingly:

"Ah, by the way, did I just forget to explain clearly the content of this second assessment?"

Just one word silenced the chaotic and noisy scene, and pairs of eyes from the genin looked directly at the Konoha examiner with a smile on his face.

Of course, under such gaze, Mitarashi Anko did not continue to whet her appetite. At the same time, two scrolls with "Heaven" and "Earth" written on them slipped into her hands.

"In addition to the most basic wilderness survival projects, as you can see, the second task is a scroll battle where anything can happen."

"The scrolls are divided into [Book of Heaven] and [Book of Earth]. Of the twenty-six teams that passed the first test, half took the [Book of Heaven] and the remaining half took the [Book of Earth]."

"Each team only has one volume."

"The final condition for clearance is that the assembled team arrives at the central tower with the [Book of Heaven] and the [Book of Earth]."

Such assessment content immediately made the genin, who showed a state of relaxation, look stern.

Because the final clearance condition means that...

"To put it simply, they use any means or method to snatch each other's scrolls."

"Of course, this competition will not last forever. The second examination time is 120 hours, which means you have five full days to compete with each other."
To be continued...
