"How terrifying, how scary! Why does it feel so eerie--" Haruno Sakura couldn't help feeling a little creepy as she looked at the giant python as thick as a bucket shuttling back and forth between the woods not far ahead.

"This place is called the Forest of Death, and you'll be able to experience it soon~," said Mitarashi Anko with a kind smile.

Although Uzumaki Naruto in this life is not as flamboyant as in the original work, he did not suddenly become a dull person. On the contrary, he inherited his real mother's carefree and outgoing personality, but became a little more talented.

So when he heard Mitarashi Anko acting pretentiously, which was obvious at first glance, Uzumaki Naruto couldn't help but twist his hips and strike an S-shape pose, while he imitated what Mitarashi Anko had just said in a coquettish voice: "This place is called the Forest of Death, and you will be able to experience it for yourself soon~"

With a loud laugh, Uzumaki Naruto raised his middle finger and gestured.

"Haha! No matter how scary it is, I don't care. I'm not afraid at all!"

This scene made everyone laugh and the tension in their hearts was reduced a lot.

"Really? You look so energetic..." Mitarashi Anko tilted her head slightly and a sweet smile appeared on her face.

Then, his eyes, which were narrowed into slits, suddenly opened, and with a clear sound, a sharp and long kunai flew out from his sleeve and fell into his hand. Then he turned around and gathered strength, and the kunai in his hand instantly shot out like a slingshot, and "swish" it flew towards Uzumaki Naruto's cheek!

Click——

Just as the sharp edge of the kunai was about to cut Uzumaki Naruto's cheek, a slender hand like jade with distinct joints arrived there steadily and clamped the kunai gently with two fingers.

Nani! Nani! Red bean paste!

Mitarashi Anko was just about to implement her three-pronged strategy: first, she would throw out a kunai. In her imagination, the kunai could not be intercepted by anyone. Then, she would use the body-flickering technique and suddenly rush behind Uzumaki Naruto. After all, the kunai was aimed at Uzumaki Naruto's cheek, so it would accurately cut Uzumaki Naruto's cheek, which would definitely cause him skin injuries and scare him.

This will help to curb his arrogance!

However, unexpectedly, a tall figure, using some unknown means, appeared out of thin air next to Uzumaki Naruto as if teleporting.

What's even more hateful is that he only used two fingers to block the kunai that Mitarashi Anko had used with some force, without even a speck of dust being raised!

Mitarashi Anko was as if she was facing a formidable enemy. She stared at the abrupt figure in front of her with an unpleasant expression. Her pure white eyes undoubtedly revealed the other person's identity, which was the protagonist Hyuga Neji.

"Although it's not serious, but it's so nonchalant...", Mitarashi Anko hooked her fishnet stockings with one hand and put the other hand back into her sleeve.

"Narodo-kun, Brother Neji..." Even though she is now a normally developed Hyuga head, Hyuga Hinata's kind heart will not change.

She looked at Hyuga Neji and Uzumaki Naruto worriedly, then looked up at the examiner Anko Mitarashi in front of her who had a dark face, worried that they would have a conflict, which would cause dissatisfaction among the examiners and affect their Chunin Exams.

"Oh my, examiner, it was really dangerous just now. I almost cut the cheek of our Konoha Village comrade. It would be bad if it affects his chance of finding a wife in the future..." Hyuga Neji bowed lightly with a smile on his face, then took a few steps forward, dropped the kunai blade that he was holding on his fingertips, and handed it over.

At this moment, the spectators suddenly realized what had happened and came to their senses. "How fast!"

"what happened?!"

"Monster...it really is a monster!"

"..."

The people watching around couldn't help but look even uglier.

Many of them were thankful that they had not challenged Hyuga Neji to a duel during the first exam. It seemed that this Byakugan Konoha brat was extremely powerful and not bluffing at all!

"Kankurō, this man is very strong. We don't need to provoke conflicts with him for the time being. Don't ruin our big plan..." Gaara said calmly to his prickly brother beside him with a serious look in his eyes.

Kanjiro was behind Gaara, staring at the back of his head as if he was an idiot.

By the way, shouldn't Kankuro be the one saying this?

When did he become an impulsive person?

Don't underestimate the puppet master's eyesight! Moreover, when he looks for someone to bully, he only looks for those who are obviously weak. For example, this Konoha white-eyed brat named Hyuga Neji, his strength is definitely beyond the level of a Chunin!

Only Kanjiro would be stupid to provoke him!

In Kanjiro's eyes, only Gaara can compete with Hyuga Neji, the white-eyed brat of Konoha. And Gaara in his normal state is not good enough, he can only passively take the beating and has to release the power of the tailed beast sealed in his body.

But I definitely cannot show my thoughts to others, otherwise if Gaara gets angry and beats me up, no one will be able to save me!

Kankuro nodded and spoke with a docile look on his face.

"Okay, Gaara, I'll follow your lead anyway. I'll do whoever you say I'll do it with! I'll do whoever you say I'll do it with!"

Gaara nodded with satisfaction in his heart, but said no more on the surface. To this so-called "brother" beside him, he was just like a dog, who only remembered to be beaten but not to be fed. Once he started to praise him, he would be taking advantage of him. It would not cause any harm to Gaara, but it would not be good if he was unhappy and killed his so-called "brother".

So Gaara stopped talking and continued to watch what was happening in front of him.

Although he was humiliated, he was fortunate to have the politeness behind this Konoha's white-eyed brat, and no one could find any fault with him.

After all, Hyuga Neji did not provoke the examiner, he just caught a kunai out of thin air, and did not have any action or intention to confront the examiner. It was like facing a hedgehog, and it was impossible to find any faults.

Besides, the current exam was more important, so there was no need to waste time here. So Mitarashi Anko put away the kunai expressionlessly and continued to explain the real exam rules.

Rock Lee had expected this. He knew that these were just small moves for Hyuga Neji. In any case, in the real ninja battles of this year, no matter how much he improved under the guidance of Master Might Guy, how much he practiced, and how many forbidden moves he learned, even if he broke his own rules and fought against Hyuga Neji, he could not resist a single hand of Hyuga Neji.

However, with the encouragement of Teacher Might Guy, Rock Lee did not become depressed because of this. Instead, his strength improved by leaps and bounds, and he used it as a self-motivation on the road ahead.

But when he turned his head slightly and saw Tiantian's smug and self-righteous expression beside him, Rock Lee felt something strange in his heart.

That expression again!

Whenever Hyuga Neji shows off, Tiantian would have an expression like “Look! How great!”

Rock Lee vaguely remembered that Tiantian had been behaving like this since the Ninja School graduation exam.

"Tiantian, it wasn't you who caught the kunai, why should I look so smug on your face?" After thinking for a moment, Rock Lee couldn't help but complain.

Tenten tilted his mouth, raised his eyes, smiled evilly, glanced at Rock Lee and said, "Little Lee, you don't understand! Neji is more powerful than you can imagine!"

"..."

Well, Rock Lee looked defeated.

Does this have anything to do with the question he asked?

clap clap!

Mitarashi Anko clapped her hands, signaling everyone to focus their attention.

"Well, before the second selection exam officially begins, I'll send this to you..." As she said this, Mitarashi Anko took out a stack of papers from her arms, and on the top paper were three words written - "Consent Form".

Do I need to sign a consent form to take an exam?

The many ninja candidates around who saw the font were all surprised.

"That's right! It's the consent form. Anyone who is willing to take the exam must sign this consent form in advance!" Mitarashi Anko waved the stack of papers slightly.

"Why?" Everyone paused for a moment, but still asked questions.

Mitarashi Anko had an expression that said, "I knew you would ask this." "Because someone might die next. So for this, you must get the person's consent in advance. Otherwise, it will be very troublesome for me later—"

Say the coldest and most cruel words in the most gentle and calm tone.

Mitarashi Anko smiled with her eyes wide open and shrugged her shoulders: "Otherwise the other ninja villages will think it's my responsibility, hahahaha——"

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere at the scene changed immediately. It became solemn and dull.

"Well, the next instructions for the second exam, to put it simply, are that you will once again take on an extreme wilderness survival challenge!" Then, Mitarashi Anko said as she handed the stack of consent forms in her hand to Hyuga Neji in front of her, and asked Hyuga Neji to pass them to each candidate in turn.
