After the first preparatory exam for the middle ninja exam, on this day, the lower ninjas in Konoha Village gathered outside the Death Forest and turned their eyes to the examiner in front of them.

"It's ...... here," Sakura Haruno said in astonishment as she looked at the huge forest in front of her.

A woman in a brown coat looked at the shinobi in front of her and said lightly, "This is the examination room for the second exam, the No. 44 exercise field, alias...... Forest of Death. ”

Then, the examiner took out a stack of consent forms from his coat and handed them to everyone. The examiner explained the relevant assessment information, the conditions for passing and the conditions for elimination.

Thirty minutes later.

The outer net of the Death Forest opened, and the twenty-six groups of ninjas rushed into the forest one after another, and after a while, a miserable cry came from the forest.

In the tower in the middle of the Death Forest, Night Feather and the others unfolded their divine thoughts to watch the entire exam, in Night Feather's opinion, although the strength of the ninjas is really weak and pitiful, but, at their level, it is already quite a wonderful battle.

"Ahh Night Feather observed Naruto's group through his divine thoughts, and said to himself with a sneer.

……

After solving a group of shinobi, Sasuke and the others found a barely safe place to rest, Naruto looked at Sasuke and said, "Hey, Sasuke, the situation just now was really a bit dangerous." ”

"Well, through the transformation technique to obtain information and snatch scrolls, this is the most common method, fortunately, the insight of the group of shinobi just now is not very good, otherwise we would be in big trouble." Sasuke said lightly.

"For the sake of safety, it's better for us to have a code, listen to it, as long as we meet the other party, ask Ninja, Ninja, and then answer, it's best when the enemy is in a big commotion......" Then, Sasuke said the code again.

After Sakura Haruno responded, Naruto on the side showed great distress, which made Sasuke and Sakura Haruno a little helpless on the side, Sakura Haruno mocked, "Ah~, you won't forget the code, right?" ”

"That...... I...... Of course I remember! Naruto looked at Sakura Haruno and yelled. As the words fell, Naruto glanced at the bamboo tube inserted in the ground not far away, and looked at the two of them with an embarrassed expression.

Sasuke on the side also knew about the bamboo tube inserted in the ground not far away, but now only Sakura Haruno didn't know it.

The three of them got up, ready to leave here to continue looking for the lower ninja team with the Heavenly Scroll, Naruto just got up, suddenly a breeze blew, and a scar appeared on Naruto's face, and when Naruto was about to jump up, the breeze turned into a violent wind, and the three of them were blown away in an instant.

Sasuke, who was hiding in the grass nearby, suddenly sensed someone behind him, and hurriedly turned around to find that it was Sakura Haruno.

Sakura Haruno on the side saw that Sasuke was okay and was about to hurry forward, although Sasuke Uchiha had already discovered that Sakura Haruno in front of him was himself, but, for the sake of insurance, he still had the code.

After the code was finished, Naruto also walked out and walked forward quickly, and Sakura Haruno on the side hurriedly stopped, "Wait a minute, Naruto, first the code!" ”

After hearing Sakura Haruno's words, Naruto said with a bitter face, "I'm sorry...... I forgot about it all. ”

Although Naruto's answer was the same as he had just expressed, it didn't make Sasuke and the others let their guard down. Sasuke quickly took a handful of kunai out of his ninja bag and threw it at Naruto, slicing his cheek open.

"Imposter, it's almost the same, right?" Sasuke looked at the 'Naruto' in front of him and sneered.

"Well~, an imposter is an impostor, and he dares to run out without knowing our information, and his guts are a little fat." A voice came from the tree, mocking.

Sasuke and the others turned their gaze to the big tree behind them, and looked at Naruto who was standing on it, his expression still serious.

After Naruto jumped down, he released part of the red chakra, looked at Sasuke and said, "Okay Sasuke, I'm real!" After releasing some of the red chakra, Naruto's eyes turned red, and his pupils turned into fox eyes.

After seeing Naruto's pupils change color, Sasuke knew that Naruto in front of him was him, after all, he had seen Naruto's pupils change when the three of them fought against Momochi in the previous wave country mission.

Sasuke and the others turned their gaze to the 'Naruto' not far away, looked at each other with a sneer, put their hands in the ninja bag, and prepared to use their hands to defeat the 'Naruto' in front of them.

"Ah~, it's really a group of smart little ghosts~, the Nine-Tails' human pillar force, and the people of the Uchiha clan." 'Naruto' looked at the three of Sasuke, showed an extremely eerie smile, and said lightly.

"What do you think we just said the code for? Naruto and I found out about you eavesdropping in the first place, so we used this boring method to lure you out, and to be honest, your method just now was much better than the one we met before, except that you didn't have the insight to pay attention to good information. Moreover, with Naruto's mind, trying to remember this code was as simple as eating. Sasuke looked at Naruto and sneered.

……

"Hmph~, Sasuke, they met Orochimaru so quickly, well~, although this guy was very powerful when he defected, but, I don't know how it is now? I haven't done it for about 12 years, I don't know if this guy's strength has regressed? Night Feather looked at Naruto and the others who had already met Orochimaru through his divine thoughts.

……

"Sasuke, don't talk nonsense with him, this guy feels a little dangerous to me." Naruto looked at himself in front of him and said to Sasuke on the side.

"I know!" As the words fell, Sasuke took out a handful of kunai and threw it at the 'Naruto' in front of him. Just when Kunai was about to stab the other party, a burst of smoke came out, and a man who looked very gloomy appeared, "Ahhhh ”

The hoarse voice of the gloomy man sounded, and Naruto couldn't help but feel that the person in front of him was very familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere. Naruto looked at the other party in a cold sweat, forcibly calmed himself, and asked, "You...... Is it called Orochimaru? ”

"Oh~? I didn't expect that I had been away from the village for so long, and there were still people who knew my name~, which was really interesting. Orochimaru bared his tongue and licked his lips as he looked at Naruto with a grim smile.

"Tsk~, I didn't expect to meet one of the strongest big snake pills in one of the three ninjas here, and it's a big trouble now." Naruto looked at Orochimaru in front of him and muttered to himself in a panic.
