Konoha: The New Will of Fire

In the southwest corner of Konoha, there is a huge forest.

The candidates who passed the first exam were all gathered at the entrance of the forest. Hundreds of candidates had their respective villages as the core, staying together in small groups.

Compared to the big noise in the first exam, the second exam was much smaller. After all, the number of people was much smaller, and this forest was destined not to have too many people coming.

"Hey, don't you think it's too quiet around here?"

"Not only is it quiet, didn't you notice the expressions on the faces of the Konoha genin next to them? In addition to solemnity, there is also fear."

"Afraid, what are they afraid of?"

……

Discussions like this resounded in every small group, and everyone noticed the frightened expressions of the genin of Konoha. This made everyone curious and worried at the same time. What on earth is here?It actually made the Konoha ninjas so frightened, and even the Konoha ninjas were so frightened, but what about them?In this situation where they don't know any information, they are far more dangerous than the Konoha ninjas.

At the same time, the Konoha ninja group was also discussing, but unlike the people around them, what they said was all worries.

"How could this be a place like this? Hokage-sama and the others couldn't have made a mistake."

"I now kind of understand what my father said yesterday."

"What?"

"I wish you good luck tomorrow. I originally thought it was a written test, but now I finally understand. It turns out to be the second test."

Even Shikamaru couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly when he said this. He predicted that the difficulty of this chunin exam would rise sharply, but he didn't expect that the Hokage and his father would play so hard.

At the same time, the shadows in the distance also noticed something was wrong.

Ohnoki frowned slightly, looked around and said in a deep voice: "There is something wrong with this place. It is not a simple forest."

"It's indeed wrong. There is chakra flowing in this forest. Yes, although it is very subtle, there is indeed chakra flowing. How could this happen?"

Luo Sha couldn't hide the shock on her face. Chakra is a force that requires the fusion of physical energy and mental energy. In other words, Chakra cannot exist in non-living things under normal circumstances, and Chakra cannot exist in forests. In this case, There is only one explanation, and that is that the entire forest is maintained by chakra.

Thinking of this, the expressions of all the figures changed.

At this moment, Shikaku next to him explained: "This forest in Konoha is a death purgatory that is more dangerous than the Death Forest. Only the Jonin examination will use this place."

"Jounin Examination!"

As soon as these words came out, all the actors and leaders present immediately became commotion, and some leaders directly asked excitedly.

"What do you mean by Konoha? This is the Chunin exam, but you are using an area that is only used in the Jonin exam. What are you planning on doing?"

When faced with the question, Lu Jiu replied very calmly: "Although it is a Jonin test, we have lowered the difficulty. In addition, although this test is a Chunin test, everyone here understands that you can take this test." The genin in the Chunin Exam are all geniuses from various villages, and their own strength has long surpassed that of ordinary Chunin. If they only use the assessment area of ​​the Chunin Exam to test, their true strength cannot be tested at all."

"Only ten people can participate in the final arena. In order to save time, the elimination rate in the second assessment must be around 90.00%."

90.00%... Hearing Shikaku's words, everyone present twitched their lips. Is Konoha going to play like this? This elimination rate is almost going to eliminate everyone.

In particular, the leaders of many small ninja villages have very ugly faces. They know very well about the strength of their own ninjas. Although they are geniuses, they are still far from enough compared to the five major ninja villages. With such an elimination rate, the genin of their village There is simply no chance of passing.

Immediately, a leader shouted in dissatisfaction: "What is this? It is a performance show unique to your great ninja village. With such an elimination rate, the ninjas in our village cannot pass it."

Lujiu seemed to have guessed that someone would say this. Facing the questioning leaders, he said calmly: "This is the rule. The Chuunin exam is tightly arranged. A too high pass rate will only increase the time. In addition, leaders, some I don’t need to tell you anything, but you should also understand that this Chunin Exam is a stage that attracts the attention of the entire ninja world."

"Trash is not qualified to step onto this stage. Only true geniuses are qualified to stand on the stage!"

At this point, looking at the ugly faces of the leaders, Shikaku changed the topic and said: "Of course, Hokage-sama also knows your worries. As long as the candidates who take the second exam can survive this exam, Konoha will prepare satisfactory gifts for them."

When they heard the gifts, the leaders had good expressions, but when they heard that they had to survive, the expressions of the leaders changed drastically. They woke up as if from a dream, and then they realized that this was an examination room for jounin assessment, and the dangers involved were even higher. Shinobi can't guarantee it, let alone the kid from their own village. Even if the difficulty is lowered, it is still very dangerous.

Terumi Mei suddenly asked Shikaku: "Konoha's military advisor, you should explain to us what is going on in this forest?"

Shikaku heard Terumi Mei's inquiry and explained generously: "This forest is not a naturally formed forest. It is a forest created by Hokage-sama using wood escape."

Before Shikaku could finish speaking, Raikage interjected: "Do you think you can lie to us about this kind of thing? Wooden Release can indeed create a forest, but without the caster to maintain it, this forest cannot be maintained forever."

Facing Raikage, Shikaku said calmly: "This is true under normal circumstances, but sometimes special situations always occur."

Speaking of which, this matter was caused by Gan Qiao and Orochimaru. I don’t know how the two of them did it. The forest that used wood escape actually existed. Not only that, but also made this forest become the back of Konoha. The strongest defense.

Of course Shikaku doesn't know that this is the highest level secret of Konoha. These forests are not simple wood escape, but use the power of Hashirama cells and the Ten-Tails. To put it simply, the trees in this forest are to some extent It's like a smaller version of the Ten-Tails.

Onoki was curious about something else: "Then why do these trees have chakra?"

Shikaku turned his eyes to Onoki and said slowly.

"Because these trees are alive!"

As soon as these words came out, there was a deathly silence on the podium!

……

At the same time, at the entrance of the examination room, Uchiha Shisui, the examiner of the second examination, stood in front of the gate.

Facing this legendary strongest ninja of the Uchiha clan and the strongest illusion master in the ninja world, many genin were very curious. After all, it was rare for them to see such a legendary figure. They did not expect that such a level of Konoha even Everyone is sent out to serve as the examiner.

Shisui glanced at the crowd below, and loud voices echoed.

"Before entering the examination room, I give you one last chance. Those who are scared can leave now!"
