"It's time!"

Shangshinobi, who was in charge of this round of exams, shouted loudly,

"Everyone is ready to go to the venue for the second exam."

"So. What about the results of the first round of exams? ”

Questions were raised.

"The results of the exams will be announced after the second round of exams. Based on the results of the first two rounds of examinations, the list of candidates for the third round of examinations is decided. ”

There was a commotion in the examination room.

"According to this statement, even if you pass the second round of exams, if you fail the first round of exams, you will not be able to take the final third round of exams."

Someone whispered.

"Quiet!"

With a scolding from Shangnin, the examination room suddenly fell silent.

Uchiha Itachi quietly stood up from his chair and, in full view of everyone, was the first to leave the examination room.

。。。。。。。。

Forest of Death.

The dense forest of towering trees and dense shrubs blocked most of the light, and there was an eerie atmosphere in the darkness.

Sunlight slipped through those insignificant crevices into the trees, leaving patches of dappled light and shadow on the ground, giving the whole forest a dreamlike feeling.

This is the venue for the second round of the Chunin exam.

On the scroll that Uchiha Itachi was holding in his hand was the character "Ten" written in ink pen with the dragon flying and the phoenix dancing.

Candidates were given one of two scrolls, "Heaven" or "Earth", in teams of three. Randomly scattered throughout the Forest of Death.

Candidates need to snatch the scrolls in the hands of the other teams, collect the two scrolls of "heaven" and "earth", and pass through the dense forest full of wild beasts, poisonous insects, rivers, and miasma, and reach the tower standing in the middle of the death forest.

The duration of the exam is five days.

Uchiha Itachi held a scroll with the word "Ten" written on it in his hand and swaggered towards the tower in the middle of the forest.

As if afraid that others would not know that the scroll in his hand was a scroll with the character "Heaven", he deliberately turned the side with the word "Heaven" written outward, and changed direction from time to time to ensure that the ninja hidden in the forest could clearly see the word "Heaven" on his scroll.

He wouldn't be stupid enough to look for the other half of the scroll with the word "earth" written on it.

As long as he keeps heading straight towards the tower like this, there will naturally be a team that needs the scroll of the word "Heaven" to find him.

Sure enough, just as Uchiha Itachi expected, it took less than an hour for someone to deliver it to the door.

"It's really good luck from God, there is actually an idiot who takes the middle ninja exam alone. He also swaggered to hold the scroll in his hand. Is this a suicide attempt? . . . ”

"Hahaha...

A man's voice came from ahead, mixed with the shrill laughter of a woman.

A squad of three ninjas appears in front of Itachi's eyes.

The cooperation of the three of them was very tacit, and they dispersed as soon as they appeared.

Surrounded the Uchiha Itachi in a triangular formation, not giving him any chance to escape.

It's a ninja from Fog Hidden Village.

The Uchiha Itachi immediately confirmed their identities from the ninja forehead guards they wore on their heads.

Most of the ninjas in the Fog Hidden Village are good at water escape, which is quite disadvantageous for Uchiha Itachi, who is good at fire escape.

And it's a one-to-three.

Even if he was facing only three shinobi, Uchiha Itachi would not be careless.

He feigned a panicked look, eliciting a disdainful laugh from the three Mist Ninjas.

At this time, amid the ridicule of the Misty Ninja, he was silently assessing the strength of both the enemy and the enemy.

"Hand over the scroll honestly, and we won't kill you. If you resist, the consequences can be severe. ”

A young man of fifteen or sixteen years old, who seemed to be the captain, spoke majestically.

"Imai, don't grind. Just kill it. ”

The shrill voice of the female shinobi became impatient.

"Shut up, Apricot. Don't forget, Imai is the captain and you have to listen to him in everything. ”

The other short, mist-hidden ninja looked like only Imai was looking at him.

"Abe, you're a goddamn sycophant."

Apricot glared at Abe dissatisfied, muttering quietly.

From the words of the three of them in the fog shadow, Uchiha Itachi quickly discerned the situation.

Through the fluctuations of the chakra emanating from the three of them, the strength of the three of them was already clear at a glance.

"Alright, one-to-three, obediently hand over the scroll...

Imai had a wicked smile on his face and approached Itachi Uchiha unhurriedly.

"This exam must be taken in a team of three...

Uchiha Itachi suddenly spoke, interrupting Imai's words.

Imai was stunned for a moment, stopped, and his face became ugly.

"Why, then, did I appear in front of you alone with a scroll?"

Uchiha Itachi continued.

"Wasn't he abandoned by his companions?"

Apricot said in a mocking tone, laughing out of place.

"Shut up, Apricot. You laugh like an idiot. ”

Imai scolded loudly, and his eyes began to wander around.

"You see, your captain is much smarter than you. Of course, it's because two of my companions are in ambush in the woods right now, ready to attack you, stupid. ”

Itachi didn't relent, just because the other party was a woman, and scolded mercilessly.

On Xing's round face, the mocking smile melted in an instant, as if the blood had been drained, and her face suddenly turned a miserable white color.

"Watch your back!"

Abe's teammates shouted out one step earlier.

The three Mist Ninjas twisted their necks vigilantly, watching for movement in the nearby forest.

Unfortunately, they were very disappointed.

They didn't feel any chakra fluctuations in the forest.

This made them more and more nervous, and the hand holding Kunai began to tremble slightly.

"Alas...

Uchiha Itachi couldn't help but sigh deeply when he saw that the three of them had ignored their existence.

The three of them were startled by the sudden sigh and turned their gaze back to Itachi.

"I'm sorry I lied to you."

Uchiha Itachi said slowly, with a somewhat hateful smile on his face.

"Actually, I'm really just a human being, with no companions. What you just said is a lie. ”

His gaze stopped at Imai's face, which was a little pale from nervousness,

"As a captain, in a three-to-one situation, you make a judgment that your side will win. In my opinion, you, the captain, are unqualified. ”

"I, I don't believe your words, your teammates are nearby, you say this... , just to distract us ... ”

Imai became more and more nervous, and his speech became a little stammering.

"In addition, because of my young age, I thought I had picked up a big bargain...

The Uchiha Itachi's tone began to become aggressive.

Obviously, the situation has completely fallen into his control.
