Infinite Simulation: From Konoha To Moon

Chapter 60: Death Forest

The orange sunlight shone through the window, illuminating the wooden leaf symbol on the office wall.

The door was knocked.

Uchiha Itachi snapped back to reality and saw a middle-aged ninja walking in.

Wearing a red coat, a forehead protector with the character "oil" on it, and white long hair that reached his waist.

He walked casually, his eyes darting around.

Most people who saw him would probably think he was an old rogue or thug.

In fact, that was correct.

Uchiha Itachi thought of the legends he had heard and shouted, "Lord Jiraiya."

"Long time no see, you're getting more handsome," Jiraiya smiled and said, "You're almost as good-looking as I was when I was young."

Uchiha Itachi didn't know how to respond and ended up not showing any expression.

Jiraiya shook his head, turned to Uchiha Fugaku, and said, "I've taken Naruto to the exam venue."

"Thank you."

Because the commotion was too loud, Uchiha Fugaku had already learned from the Anbu earlier, "Tsunade, any news?"

"She doesn't want to come back."

Jiraiya shook his head and said, "Because of hemophobia."

Uchiha Fugaku fell silent for a moment and sighed, "What a pity."

Without Orochimaru interfering, although Jiraiya took Naruto, he didn't persuade Tsunade to come back.

In addition, the situation in Konoha was much better than in the original story.

Whether Tsunade came back or not didn't make much difference.

But Uchiha Fugaku still hoped to have a medical genius in charge.

"Tsunade's personality is like this, she prefers places with a lot of gambling," Jiraiya laughed and said, "She wouldn't be happy if she came back to Konoha."

"For now, we don't need to worry about Tsunade."

Uchiha Fugaku brought up the matter of Li Xiang and said, "The current Kazekage is fake. He might pose a threat to Konoha through the Chunin Exams, so I called you back."

"Is that so?"

Jiraiya looked surprised and said, "There are very few ninjas who can kill a Kage. It's probably a dangerous person."

Uchiha Fugaku nodded slightly.

The Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, was already considered one of the top Jōnin-level powerhouses.

Although Konoha was not afraid, it was inevitable that they would be affected.

If the cost of winning was to destroy half of Konoha, then it would be meaningless.

Just then, the door was opened again.

Shisui walked in and said, "The written test is over. The next test will take place in the Death Forest."

"Is there anything else?"

Uchiha Fugaku looked up and said, "This kind of small matter shouldn't require you to come in person."

"It's Uchiha Lang."

Shisui took out a scroll and said, "He said we should take action after the second test and gave us a match schedule."

"Where is he?"

Uchiha Itachi leaned forward and asked.

"Haven't seen him."

Shisui explained, "Just like the previous times, he disappears after delivering the information. By the time we notice, there's no time left."

After Uchiha Fugaku finished reading the scroll, he said, "Itachi, Anko will be the proctor for the second test."

Uchiha Itachi was stunned and asked, "What does that have to do with the proctor?"

"Lang said the target of the Kazekage is you."

Uchiha Fugaku finished speaking and laughed, "He's quite good at choosing people."

Jiraiya, who was eavesdropping, waved his hand and said, "Let me know if there's anything. I'll go play at the Konoha Police Department."

With a bang, he disappeared.

Uchiha Fugaku asked in confusion, "What is he doing at the Konoha Police Department?"

Shisui said with a strange expression, "Lord Jiraiya cares a lot about the members of the patrol team, especially those beautiful girls."

Thinking about his legendary eccentricity, Uchiha Fugaku coughed and said, "Don't ever tell him the truth."

...

When Li Xiang left the classroom, he heard the fluctuating screams again.

He looked towards the source of the sound and sure enough, it was Sasuke.

But this time, Naruto was also there.

Compared to Sasuke's calm demeanor, Naruto was much more active.

He waved his hand while walking and shouted, "Thanks everyone for your support."

Li Xiang remembered the concerts from his previous life.

This sentence should be changed to "Thanks everyone for buying tickets."

Xiang Lin ignored the commotion nearby and looked through the exam rules, saying, "The second exam will take place in the Forest of Death. We will gather at 6 o'clock tomorrow morning, with only half an hour to wait."

Li Xiang had seen it before.

The rules were the same as in the original work. Holding the Heaven and Earth Coiling Scrolls was considered passing, but before starting, they could only randomly choose one scroll.

It was another beautiful day.

Even though it was only six o'clock, the sky was already bright.

Li Xiang immediately saw Uchiha Itachi standing at the front.

He whispered, "That is Orochimaru's target. I'll go inform him while we have time."

Kimimaro and Xiang Lin nodded.

Li Xiang suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "I left my ninja tools at the hotel, wait for me."

He quickly turned around and hurriedly left.

Uchiha Itachi glanced at him.

He didn't notice any traces of ninjutsu.

Orochimaru had come with the genin from Otogakure to participate in the exams.

But he would only officially attend during the third exam.

The first two exams were just preliminaries and didn't interest the audience.

Li Xiang transformed into a ninja from Sunagakure and smoothly met Orochimaru at their hotel.

"You said Uchiha Itachi is the chief examiner for the second exam?"

Orochimaru narrowed his eyes and licked his lips.

His original plan was to start during the third exam.

Because before that, he didn't have any opportunities.

Under normal circumstances, Uchiha Itachi would not be the chief examiner for the first two exams.

And Orochimaru couldn't just break into the Anbu, it was too dangerous.

So the best choice was during the third exam in the arena.

Without any traps.

Konoha wouldn't expect him to make a move.

A perfect opportunity for an ambush.

At the same time, they could also coerce the nobles from the Wind and Fire countries who were present as a bargaining chip for their escape.

But this unexpected situation made Orochimaru ponder.

His target was Uchiha Itachi, not Konoha.

"The second exam is in the Forest of Death, and there's only Uchiha Itachi alone. Perhaps this is our chance."

Orochimaru made a quick decision and said, "Change the plan. You continue to participate in the exam and avoid arousing suspicion."

The Forest of Death.

Uchiha Itachi glanced at the time and said, "Distribute the scrolls. I'll be waiting for you at the central tower. A team of three who arrive together will be considered as passing."

In the next moment, his body turned into several crows and disappeared.

The Anbu ninja immediately distributed the scrolls to each team.

"We have the Heaven Scroll."

Xiang Lin collected the scroll and said.

With their strength, it didn't matter who held it.

Kimimaro walked silently at the front without saying a word.

Li Xiang and Xiang Lin followed him and quickly ventured deep into the Forest of Death.

The three of them didn't bother concealing their presence.

After about fifteen minutes, Xiang Lin spoke up, "There are three on the left and three on the right."
