In Konoha, I collected corpses on the battlefield for ten years

However, his sigh was cut short.

“Number Twenty-Five! Disqualified!”

“Number Thirty, fourth warning!”

Hearing Kaze's stern voice from inside, Nara Chuichi's eyes twitched.

He suddenly regretted saying something like 'follow his pace'.

Could it be that very few people will pass the first round?

Nara Chuichi couldn't help but want to slap himself.

Actually, he overestimated Kaze.

Even if Kaze really had the ability to kill the Chunin Exam single-handedly, he wouldn't dare to do so.

If he did, anyone could find out he was responsible, and being exposed to everyone's attention was not what he wanted.

Moreover, doing so would not only fail to earn Konoha's praise, but would also make him a target for the genin he eliminated.

He slightly reduced the frequency of calling out names.

Two hours later.

The exam that these genin would probably never forget in their lives finally ended. The examinees who were still in the exam room silently wiped the sweat from their foreheads, looking at Kaze with fear.

Was this person a demon?

He could see through even the slightest movement or hint of cheating.

Fortunately, many people frantically worked on their answers during the Mizu-nin's outburst and the time Nara Chuichi called Kaze out of the exam room, otherwise many more would probably have failed.

Especially since he looked so calm and collected, as if catching them cheating didn't take much effort at all.

What a joke, Kaze thought. When it comes to cheating, all of you here are trash.

Showing off with a broadsword in front of Guan Gong, wielding a big axe in front of Lu Ban.

How embarrassing!

When Nara Chuichi walked in, his expression was slightly stunned.

Out of one hundred thirty to forty people, less than sixty remained.

The Chunin Exam having such an elimination rate in the first round was unprecedented.

What relieved him was that Kaze was still measured, leaving some from each major village.

The Mizu-Gakure, Kumo-Gakure, and Suna-Gakure each retained the basic configuration of six genin, plus some ninja from smaller hidden villages and Konoha ninja.

Roughly calculated, a total of nineteen teams passed the first round.

Nara Chuichi gathered everyone and, escorted by the proctors, headed to the second round's exam site.

This Chunin Exam was not held in Training Ground 44, the Forest of Death as in the original story, but in the terrifying cave of Training Ground 11.

The terrifying cave was located underground, with the surface being a barren area covered with rocks, as if gnawed by a giant mouth, rugged and uneven.

Various openings of different sizes could be seen under these rocks, leading in all directions.

The dark cave openings were like the wide-open mouths of demons, causing a sense of fear just by approaching them.

It was certain that there was something special underground, and it was inhabited by many ferocious creatures, some of which were no less intelligent than humans.

In this terrifying cave, one not only had to be careful of the ninja from various villages, but also of these wild creatures.

“Chuichi, you're here.”

As Nara Chuichi led the group closer, a ninja with long yellow hair, wearing a Konoha jonin vest, and a red cloak greeted them.

“Inoichi.” Nara Chuichi nodded.

Yamanaka Inoichi, the head of the Yamanaka clan, and the current Ino of the Ino-Shika-Cho trio, a jonin proficient in the Mind Transfer Technique, and the captain of Konoha's Analysis Team.

“So few people this time?” Yamanaka Inoichi frowned.

Kaze, who was behind them, moved his feet slightly, trying not to attract attention.

Nara Chuichi smiled awkwardly, without explaining anything.

Kaze was just a proctor, he was the head proctor, so he couldn't shirk responsibility for this.

“It's okay, leave the rest to me.”

Saying that, he stepped forward.

His wise eyes scanned the crowd, and everyone who met his gaze felt a sting in their eyes and a chill in their hearts, as if their secrets were all seen through.

He said with a smile: “Before the second exam begins, you all need to sign a consent form. Casualties are unavoidable, but you can still choose to refuse and leave now. The way out is behind you.”

The ninja looked at each other.

They had survived the devilish first round, and giving up now would be a disservice to all the brain cells they had killed in the first round.

No one quit, and they quickly signed the consent forms one by one.

“Very good, next are the exam rules…”

Yamanaka Inoichi put away the consent forms and said in a deep voice: “There are now nineteen teams. Each team will receive one scroll, either the ‘Heaven Scroll’ or the ‘Earth Scroll’. Only teams that collect both scrolls and reach the Cave of Redemption in the center of the terrifying cave will pass this round of the exam.

The time limit is three days!”

“Now, each team come and receive your scroll.”

The real exam had already begun. The proctors did not conceal which scroll they were distributing, so each team knew which scroll they had received.

Many people had already begun to lock onto their hunting targets.

“Alright, each proctor will lead a team and enter the terrifying cave from different directions.”

After saying that, the teams left, led by the proctors.

And by coincidence, the team that Kaze was assigned to was none other than the Mizu-nin team led by Hoshigaki Kisame.

He silently led the Mizu-nin team led by Hoshigaki Kisame to the designated entrance.
