I am the strongest Hokage of all time

At noon the next day, in front of the entrance to the Forest of Death No. [-].

A group of candidates gathered.

Hiruzen and the other three also arrived at the examination room on time.

As soon as Hiruzen arrived, he began to observe the people around him.

I discovered Hanzo, whom I had ignored yesterday.

Hanzo is still a handsome boy with white hair and brown eyes.

Wearing a special mask, he seems to be about the same age as Hiruzen.

Hanzo is with two companions from the Hidden Rain Village.

But the two ninjas seemed unwilling to approach Hanzo.

She was talking to him several meters away, completely ignoring Hanzo's presence.

After all, Hanzo had a venomous sac from a Sanshou fish buried in his body.

If you don't wear a special mask, the toxins in this poison sac will even spread with Hanzo's breathing.

Therefore, the ninjas in Amegakure Village who knew about this were afraid of approaching Hanzo.

It's also ridiculous.

Hanzo's poison sac was planted when he was young.

It has nothing to do with Hanzo himself.

As a result, Hanzo was given the same treatment as a jinchuriki when he was young.

Feared by villagers and teammates.

But in fact, Hanzo is not immune to poisonous gas.

If the poison gas leaks or the poison sac ruptures, Hanzo will die as well.

Therefore, Hiruzen has no ill intentions towards the current Hanzo.

On the contrary, there is some sympathy.

While Hiruzen was recalling the plot related to Hanzo.

A young man with white hair suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

It was the examiner of the second exam who came.

The young man said: "I am the examiner of the second exam, Kiyoshi Hatake."

"I'll announce the rules for the second game."

After the young man finished speaking, he released his breath, and everyone fell silent instantly.

The pressure of the jounin is still very oppressive.

Even though Hatake Kiyoshi is a young jounin who has just been promoted.

All eyes were on him.

Only then did Hatake Kiyoshi speak again.

"The format of the second test is a scroll collection battle."

"We hid the nine scrolls of Lin, Bing, Dou, Zhe, Jie, Zhen, Lin, Zai and Qian in the forest of death with a radius of ten kilometers."

"There will be chakra marks on the scroll indicating the location, which can be sensed nearby."

"The passing criterion for the exam is to get any scroll and take it out of the Death Forest, and all members of the group must come out together."

"The assessment lasts for three days, which means the assessment will end at twelve o'clock three days later. Candidates who are still in the forest will be automatically eliminated regardless of whether they have obtained the scroll or not."

"And it is only valid if you come out of the two entrances No. 44 and No. [-]."

"Results from other entrances will be invalid."

Hatake Kiyoshi glanced at the sun in the sky and said.

"There are still about 15 minutes left before the exam starts."

"The exam does not allow killing the opponent, but there is still a risk of life. The group that chooses to continue the exam comes to sign a life and death agreement."

"When twelve o'clock arrives, enter through entrance No. [-]."

So everyone came to Hatake Kiyoshi and signed the life and death agreement one by one.

As soon as twelve o'clock comes.

The door to entrance No. [-] clanged open.

All the candidates rushed in one after another.

The three Hiruzen were no exception.

He rushed in like a ninja running.

Although it is entered from one entrance.

But there is no fight yet.

After all, no group has gotten the scroll yet.

Fighting now is just a waste of energy.

Hiruzen formed seals while running.

Ninja method? Eyes of mind!

After some fruitless exploration.

Hiruzen opened his eyes and said to the two people beside him: "There are no scrolls within a few hundred meters."

"It doesn't look like the scroll would be placed so close to the entrance."

"Let's look in the middle."

Hiruzen took the two of them to the center of the forest.

Candidates' strategies varied.

There are at most about seven or eight groups that go directly to the center.

Several groups searched in both directions along the forest border.

Some of the rest ran diagonally forward to avoid the large army.

Some lurked directly near the No. [-] entrance, waiting for the team that found the scroll to exit from the No. [-] entrance.

Hiruzen noticed that Ohnoki, Yozuki Mochi and Hanzo's group were all heading towards the center.

It can be seen that the groups going to the center are relatively strong.

The Death Forest with a radius of ten kilometers is actually very large.

But it's not that big for a ninja.

If it weren't for looking for the scroll.

A few groups can quickly make their way through the entire forest.

Several groups heading to the center have gradually separated.

It was beyond the perception range of Hiruzen's inner eye.

Hiruzen sighed in his heart: "It would be great if I could also know Kagura's heart."

The three of Hiruzen marched for an hour and arrived at the center of the forest.

There was no stopping along the way.

This is still very physically demanding.

The three Hiruzen decided to rest where they were for a while.

Then start a blanket search.

Hiruzen and the other three sat on the ground.

Hiruzen held a branch and drew a map on the ground.

Hiruzen pointed to the map and analyzed the two people: "This circle is the forest of death."

“We went from entrance one all the way to the center.”

Hiruzen drew a radius of the circle.

"We have been using perception ninjutsu along the way to see if there are any scrolls around."

"But we didn't find it."

"In other words, the 500-meter radius on this path is guaranteed to be free of scrolls."

"There are no scrolls in this area of ​​almost ten square kilometers."

"But the entire forest of death covers an area of ​​nearly a thousand square kilometers."

"If the Death Forest is divided into nine equal parts, assume that the nine scrolls are in these nine parts."

"We need to search at least more than 100 square kilometers to ensure we find a scroll."

"At the speed we are marching through terrain like the Death Forest, it would take an hour to search ten square kilometers."

"Then theoretically we need to search for more than ten hours to find it."

"Our exam is 72 hours long."

"Time is quite tight. After all, delays due to other factors must be taken into consideration."

"Let's rest for 10 minutes first, and then start looking for scrolls in a circle around here."

Hiruzen first analyzed the situation and then handed over the task.

Hiruzen and the other three were resting.

Recharge your batteries and prepare for the subsequent search work.

At this time, an uninvited guest came over the heads of Hiruzen and the others.

Hiruzen opened his eyes.

He took out a kunai from his ninja bag and threw it above his head.

A giant centipede was nailed to a tree by a kunai.

Although the centipede was pinned, its huge body was still swinging.

Tuanzi looked above his head with a look of disgust.

Said: "How can there be such a big centipede? How disgusting!"

Hiruzen spread his hands and said, "No way, this is the characteristic of the Death Forest."

Jing said: "It's almost time to rest. Let's start the search as soon as possible."

Hiruzen and Dango also nodded in agreement.

So the three began to act according to the plan.

First, we came to a location 500 meters away from the center.

Start searching around the center
