More than 60 candidates, led by Uzumaki Kushina and a group of chunin invigilators, came to Konoha's No. 44 training ground, Forest of death.
The area under the jurisdiction of Konoha is very large, nearly 1,000 square kilometers.
In this vast village, dozens of training grounds are planned and constructed.
Among them, the forest of death is the one that is used more frequently. It is located in the northeast corner of Konoha, is close enough, and the area is large enough and the terrain is complex enough, it is very suitable for the actual combat examination room of the Chunin Exam.
Before the start of the second test, each participant is required to sign a consent form as there may be casualties.
"Exit now, it's not too late."
Kushina shook the document in her hand, the corners of her mouth curved, and her bright eyes swept over everyone.
No one flinched.
Before everyone came to the competition, they were mentally prepared. Since they have come this far, how could they be willing to give up.
After everyone signed the consent form, Kushina officially announced the exam rules:
Each team will randomly receive a scroll of the Heaven or the scroll of the Earth. Only by grabbing the scrolls of other teams, collecting a pair of heaven and earth, and arriving at the central tower in the forest of death at the specified time, can they pass the test successfully.
Kisame received a scroll of the Heaven.
He knew that this scroll was actually a summoning scroll. Once the candidates open the Heaven or Earth Scroll without authorization, they will be channel out a Chunin Examiner and will be stunned on the spot and disqualified.
After receiving the scrolls, the more than 20 teams were clearly divided into two factions, each picking a "prey".
Although Kisame was alone, no one dared to attack him.
If nothing else, just the fact that he defeated the genius ninja Kakashi is enough to make these contestants fearful.
Even the elite Kumogakure ninja did not take the risk of sniping Kisame at this time, after all, they have weaker targets.
Even if they had to fight the kisame, they would have to wait until the third exam, which was more suitable for one-on-one.
Kisame's s eyes swept across the crowd.
He didn't see Kurenai here.
'Maybe she went to Asuma to take care of him and chose to give up.'
"Any questions?"
At this time, Kushina clapped her hands, and after confirming that there was no problem with everyone, she instructed the Chunin examiner to lead all the teams to disperse to different entrances of the Forest of Death.
Kisame followed a Chunin examiner to the eighth entrance.
After half an hour.
'Creak.'
As the barbed wire gates outside the forest slowly opened, the second Chunin exam officially began.
Kisame walked in unhurriedly.
The time is ripe for him to start hunting.
However, the target of Kisame is not the scroll of the Earth, that is just a matter of the way.
His real goal is a person.
'Might Guy.'
.......
In the forest, Kisame closed his eyes and began to perceive the exploding tags.
'Found it, the target is in the northwest direction and is moving fast.'
'Whoosh.'
He performed the Shunshin jutsu and chased after him.
It has to be said that the competition in this Chunin exam is extremely fierce.
At the beginning of the second test, violent fighting and explosions were heard from all directions in the forest of death.
Trees fell, smoke billowed, and flocks of birds were startled.
Looking down from mid-air, it's almost more blooming, and it has entered a white-hot state from the beginning.
On the way to track Might Guy, Kisame encountered two teams that were fighting the scrolls.
Moreover, it is also the infighting of the Konoha ninjas.
'Hmm.'
One of the ninjas fighting against each other caught the attention of Kisame.
It was a girl with short black hair, wearing a gray-black ninja suit, looking very low-key and quiet.
'Shizune Kato.'
The niece of Tsunade's late lover Kato Dan, who is also Tsunade's current disciple, followed her to learn medical ninjutsu.
At this time, Shizune's team was at a disadvantage, her two teammates were defeated, and she was the only one who was still struggling to hold on and guard the scroll.
However, the attacking side was about to win a big victory, but suddenly stopped and assumed a defensive formation.
Because they saw Kisame.
"Why is it this guy? It's troublesome now."
"Don't panic, his scroll is the same as ours, they are the scrolls of the Heaven, there is no reason to attack us."
"We will leave this ninja and the scroll of the Earth in her hand to him, let's withdraw first, and then discuss the long-term plan?"
"No!"
"…"
The three quickly whispered and exchanged opinions.
Shizune, who was on gaurd, although it looks heavy and calm, her heart has sunk to the bottom.
Before leaving the wolf's den, she entered the tiger's den again.
She realized bitterly that her journey to the Chunin exam might come to an end.
However, what surprised both of them was.
"You guys continue, I'm just passing by."
Kisame glanced at them and moved on, without the slightest idea of interfering in the battle.
That's because he sensed that Guy's movement speed suddenly became faster, and he was about to exceed the limit of ten kilometers.
Kisame has no time to compete with this group of people for scrolls, and is not interested in being a hero to save the beauty or something.
He went away quickly.
Seeing that Kisame really left, the three Konoha Ninja were overjoyed, looked at each other, and rushed towards Shizune.
Kisame rose and fell in the forest, and the sound of fighting behind him got farther and farther, until it disappeared completely.
Ten minutes later.
Kisame was hiding in a bush, and the three figures of the Might Guy's team appeared in the field of vision.
He didn't show up immediately, but hid his whereabouts and followed them from a distance.
Because, what he is about to do to Might Guy may cause a relatively large movement. It is best to enter the depths of the forest of death, where it is convenient to move.
That's how it went for a day and a night.
The next day, Guy's team was targeted, and when they were resting in the forest, they were ambushed by the enemy.
Moreover, it is a powerful Kumogakure team.
Facing this unexpected sneak attack, Ebisu and Genma were knocked down one after another, and only Guy was left, picking up the scroll of the Heaven he started running towards the depths of the forest.
He wanted to use the scroll as a bait to lure away the enemy, so as to keep his companions out of danger.
It was naturally impossible for Kumogakure Ninja to let him go, and they chased after him.
Ten minutes later.
'Boom!'
Deep in the forest of death, a strong chakra reaction that was far beyond the level of the genin suddenly came.
Immediately afterwards, swarms of trees fell down, boulders rolled, and it seemed that a powerful beast was running rampant.
Kisame followed all the way and quietly leaned over.
Soon, he saw in the clearing of the woods, the three tall Kumogakure ninjas fell to the ground, covered in injuries and unconscious.
Might Guy, on the other hand, stood upright, holding the scroll of the Earth he had snatched in his hand.
At this time, the skin of his whole body turned red due to congestion, the whole body exudes green energy, and the chakra continuously escapes out of the body.
Eight Gates.
Just now, after being cornered by the enemy, he finally resorted to this ultimate trick, opened five dates in a row, and successfully defeated these powerful Kumogakure ninjas.
"This time, I will be promoted to Chunin, and I will use the technique taught by my father to do so."
Might Guy murmured, clenching the Heaven and Earth Scroll in his hand.
It took his father, Might Duy, to learn the art of Eight Gates after 20 years of hard training, and later passed it on to him.
The father and son sweated, bleed and shed tears together, burning their youth for this technique.
Guy vowed to pass this exam and become the first chunin of his family. In this way, he and his father will not be looked down upon by the villagers in the future.
But at this moment, the side effect of Eight Gates appeared.
The severe pain from the tearing of the muscles and meridians in the body forced Guy to release the Eight Gates, he then knelt on the ground.
He's at the end of the game.
"I can't go down. Might Guy, have you forgotten your promise, do you not want to live up to your youth..."
Guy muttered to himself, while cheering for himself, with a strong will, he stood up again.
He staggered and grimaced in pain, but he stood.
When Kisame saw that it was almost time, he appeared from behind a tree.
"Who?"
Might Guy was startled at first, but when he found out that it was Kisame, he was overjoyed, "Big brother Kisame, why are you here?"
As Kisame walked towards Guy, he showed a warm smile.
Suddenly.
With a whoosh, he rushed in front of Guy with a Shunshin, and while Guy was unprepared, he punched him in the abdomen.
'Boom.'
Guy immediately clutched his stomach and fell down in pain.
"Guy, in this forest, we are rivals and enemies. Have you forgotten this?"
Kisame looked down at Guy and spoke lightly.
"Big brother... Kisame, are you here to grab my scroll. I didn't expect... That I still failed."
Might Guy spoke with difficulty, showing a smile that was even uglier than crying, and a violent cough just after he finished speaking.
Hearing the words, Kisame shook his head and sat cross-legged beside Guy.
"No, I'm here to help you."
"Help me?" Guy was stunned.
