Ch 405: Scrolls Don’t Just Fall From The Sky

What are you doing without sleeping?

Yuta got zero on the Genin Exam’s written exam, and he’s still failing this Chunin Exams written exam?

And because the questions were difficult enough, the time for this Chunin Exams written exam was extended, a full hour, giving the Genin taking the exam plenty of room to cheat.

For a child who is diligently answering questions and wants to achieve results, an hour is barely enough.

But for an unmotivated child, sitting idle for an hour is torture.

Ibiki Morino stood on the podium, his face stern, coldly watching the examinees use various cheating methods. Except for those who directly copied by peeking, as long as they had a little skill, he pretended not to see it.

Otherwise, with the mirror on the ceiling, those sand-made eyeballs, was he blind and couldn’t see?

The flying insects, and those with red eyes, not looking at the exam papers, staring at other people’s pens but able to answer questions on their own papers. Standing on the podium, the entire classroom was in full view, including Yuta, whose snot bubbles were almost as big as his head.

After an hour, Ibiki Morino immediately ordered them to stop writing and announced the tenth question.

“If you can’t answer the tenth question, then you’ll only be a Genin for the rest of your life.”

This is quite terrifying for a Ninja.

Especially for these inexperienced children, they were even more frightened, their faces turning pale.

“If you give up, at least this time you failed, and you can take the exam next time.”

The scars on Ibiki Morino’s face twitched with his mouth, looking like a centipede crawling on his face. In the eyes of these children, he looked like a devil.

In a short while, half of the ninjas in the examination hall gave up.

Naruto still stood up, used Mouth Release, and won Ibiki Morino’s appreciation.

“Hehehe, then, to those who remain, congratulations, you have passed the written exam.”

“Huh?”

“What?! Didn’t we answer the first nine questions for nothing?!”

“I see, it seems the test of the written exam wasn’t those knowledge questions.”

While the examinees were muttering, the window was kicked in, and Red Bean flashed in.

“Don’t get too excited, the next exam is at Konoha’s 44th training ground, known as the Death Forest.”

Red Bean’s face was grim, looking very fierce.

“Everyone, follow me, don’t fall behind.”

Swish—

After saying that, Red Bean rushed out of the classroom. The Genin looked at each other and rushed out one after another.

Ibiki Morino maintained a cold expression until everyone left, then suddenly relaxed, his face bitter, looking at the glass broken by Red Bean.

How am I going to explain this to Headmaster Minato? Say Red Bean kicked it in to make a dramatic entrance?

Ibiki Morino still wanted to stay in Konoha, so he couldn’t talk badly about Red Bean behind her back.

He had to pay for the glass repair himself…

…

Death Forest, a total of 26 Genin squads each holding 13 Heaven Scrolls and 13 Earth Scrolls, entered from different directions.

Ultimately, the squad that brings one Heaven Scroll and one Earth Scroll to the High Tower in the center of the Death Forest will be qualified to pass.

At one entrance, Yuta’s Squad 11 was the last to enter, because he was asking Red Bean some questions.

“Sensei Red Bean, can we block people at the High Tower entrance, collect all the scrolls, so only we can become Chunin?”

Red Bean twitched her mouth.

Not to mention you’re thinking of blocking even your own teammates, the key is, why would you be able to do that? So many people, Yuta isn’t that strong, why would you be able to block everyone?!

Is he getting too cocky?

“Yuta, don’t be reckless. Your scroll is a Heaven Scroll, you only need to collect one Earth Scroll. Forget about blocking the entrance.”

Patting Yuta’s head, Red Bean walked into the Death Forest.

“Remember, Sensei won’t give you any special treatment, but once you reach the High Tower, no one will dare to touch you! Go for it, Yuta!”

Before leaving, Red Bean encouraged Yuta.

Yuta pouted, and entered the forest with Kimimaro and Sai.

“Boss, are we really going to block the entrance to the High Tower?”

Sai asked blankly.

Yuta immediately shook his head.

“Can you beat everyone?”

Sai, after a moment of thought, stated firmly: “No.”

“What about you, Kimimaro? Can you beat everyone?”

Kimimaro shook his head decisively.

More than seventy people, he’d be exhausted just from the effort.

“So there you have it. If we block the entrance to the High Tower, that’s the same as opposing everyone. I was just suggesting it, but this suggestion won’t work.”

Kimimaro and Sai exchanged glances, understanding the meaning in each other’s eyes.

Okay, the suggestion you made didn’t include your own fighting ability from the start!

“Let’s go, walk around and have a look. Maybe if we stroll around for a while, a Heaven Scroll will fall from the sky?”

Yuta put his arms behind his head and swaggered towards the center of the Death Forest.

After walking for a while, suddenly, a scroll dropped onto the path ahead with a thud.

“Whoa! A scroll really did fall from the sky!?”

Yuta was shocked, but Kimimaro and Sai immediately became alert.

A scroll falling from the sky? Only Yuta would think this was normal. This is clearly a crude trap!

“Oh dear, it’s quite unfortunate, it’s a ninja from our village.”

A voice came from the trees ahead, and then a tall figure jumped down from the branches.

Pushing up his glasses, Kabuto Yakushi smiled at Yuta.

“Sorry, I scared you. I thought I could ambush a squad, but it turned out to be someone from our village~”

Yuta narrowed his eyes.

Kabuto Yakushi, this guy actually participated in this Chunin Exams. Without Orochimaru’s orders, who is Kabuto serving?

Swish swish—

Two figures sprang out from the bushes on either side, coldly glancing at Yuta’s squad, then at Kabuto.

“Not going to attack?”

“Hehehe, don’t joke around, we are Konoha ninjas, how could we attack our own people.”

Kabuto’s expression didn’t change, he waved his hand.

“Your name is Yuta, right? I remember you. Go ahead, but be careful from now on. Remember, scrolls don’t fall from the sky~”

Kabuto kindly reminded Yuta not to be foolish and try to pick up any scrolls he sees.

Yuta left with Kimimaro and Sai, who remained cautious.

Thinking about the squad he had just seen Kabuto with, Yuta couldn’t help but smile.

胧 and 夢火, even with Konoha forehead protectors, their gas masks made them look like Amegakure ninjas. Their disguise was too casual!

And to include Kabuto, they actually broke up the three brothers, kicking Kagura out of the team.

So, Kabuto was actually participating in this Chunin Exams on the side of Amegakure, and Amegakure…

Is it Sasori?

What is Sasori planning to do…
