Konoha.
Outside Death Forest.
"Bastard, are you trying to get us killed?"
The calm and composed Neji couldn't control himself anymore as he cursed and tried to take the scroll from the hands of Gojo.
"Hehe~ calm down; nothing will happen to us."
Gojo easily dodged Neji's move and laughed, not afraid at all.
"This kid is really arrogant!!"
"He is getting on my nerves.
The contestants around seeing the fearless Gojo couldn't help feeling angry.
Anyway, they are also top elite ninja from their land, and now a blindfold weirdo isn't putting them in his eyes.
"Wow!! Satoru sure is brave; he is even cooler than Sasuke."
The fearless behavior of Gojo really attracted Naruto as he has always wanted to act like this.
"Hey Naruto, don't overestimate him; that blindfold pervert is far behind Sasuke Kun."
Sakura immediately supported Sasuke as she couldn't stand her love being looked down on.
"Hey! billboard brow, how dare you to call Satoru Kun a pervert?"
Ino has completely turned into a little fangirl of Gojo.
"Ino Pig!!"
"Wide Forehead"
A fight between two little girls broke out, but the focus of everyone was still on Gojo acting arrogant and carefree.
"How can I calm down? The moment we enter the forest; a huge ambush will be waiting for us."
Neji knows Gojo acts arrogant, but this is simply putting their lives in danger.
"Don't worry, it'll be fine~ Because I'm the strongest…."
Gojo said with a smile and pointed towards his own face, and the lofty aura around him made him look like an otherworldly being.
"You!!!"
Neji wanted to say something, but he suddenly found that all the fear before was entirely gone after hearing his words.
"This kid is sure has a fearless heart."
Even Anko, who was embarrassed by Gojo before, laughed a little after listening to his arrogant words as his fearless nature simply removed the fear of others.
She looked around and saw all the Konoha rookies who were a little scared before seemed to calm have down a lot and had smiles on their faces.
Their eyes were full of expectations for the survival exam; well, you can exclude one lazy guy.
Soon, Gojo, along with Neji and Lee, around outside gate number 4 and waited for the start of the exam.
"I won't let the hard training of Guy Sensei go to waste; I will pass the exam."
Standing beside the gate, Lee kept jumping around, sometimes kicking in the air, and pumped up for the exam.
"Who is that woman?"
Gojo didn't care about Lee as his eyes behind the blindfold were entirely focused on the woman with a long tongue.
Earlier, he was too focused on three color dumplings, so he ignored her, but he had been feeling her gaze for a while.
It's not like the contestants from the other villages weren't looking at him since he has made nearly everyone his enemy.
But this woman was different from them; Gojo could sense that her aura was almost catching up with Jiraiya, one of the Sannin.
Her gaze is full of possessiveness and greed, making him slightly puzzled.
He could understand if it was killing intent, but this confused him.
"Okay, Maggots, the exam starts now; go in."
As Gojo was confused, Anko looked at the watch on her wrist, and as soon as the clock reached 2:30, she shouted loudly.
Whoosh…
Gojo, along with Neji and Lee, entered the forest, and with their top speed, they disappeared entirely into the dark forest.
---------------------
"This place is safe; let's discuss our strategy now."
Spotting no figure within a distance of 500 meters through his Byakugan, Neji stopped as all three of them landed on the ground from the tree.
"Do whatever you want to~ I'm going to have fun."
Neji, who was about to tell their strategy, saw Gojo walking away with a grin on his face.
"Bastard! Where are you going now?"
Neji was getting more violent as Gojo really annoyed him to no end.
"You two are you on your own~, but I know you can handle it yourself, Ah, and don't worry about the scroll. I'll take care of it."
Gojo didn't look back, and after waving the Earth Scroll, he disappeared from their sights.
"That Jerk… he ditched us… now it's going to be difficult."
Neji wanted to cry, but no tears came out as he knew they were set up by Gojo.
That bastard has just made numerous enemies outside, and who doesn't know that they are with him.
"Let's go, Lee; we can't afford to stay at the same place much longer."
Neji calmed himself and said to lee, who still had excitement in his eyes for the exam and was not affected by Gojo leaving.
Whoosh…
With Byakugan turned on, Neji started his arduous journey in the death forest, and the one who did all this to him was now...
The Tower at the center of the forest
"Man~ these are good."
In the room on the top floor, Gojo lay on the sofa as he munched on the sweets that Anko had prepared for herself.
Gojo using his teleportation, reached the Tower in a second, and after spotting the dumplings in the room, he decided to take a short snack break without caring about Neji and Lee.
"Lee and Neji, don't be angry; what I did is for your betterment."
Sigh...
"Me and My Noble Heart"
Sighed Gojo as he wanted to curse the heavens who made him so perfect.
With his strength, they could easily pass the exam, and Gojo didn't want this to happen; they needed to go through tough fights if they wanted to grow.
