After a brief explanation of the rules, the ANBU distributed the printed exams.
The rules were simple: as long as a passing score was achieved, one could move on to the next test.
Mirai Uchiha took the exam and glanced at it, discovering that all the questions were very basic and simple.
For example, the nature of chakra, the system of channels in the human body, how to activate a ninjutsu, etc.
Only the last two questions, the most important ones, dealt with Kekkei Genkai and Kekkei Tōta, and required specific knowledge to answer.
"Compared to the Konoha 12's exam, led by Ibiki Morino, this is too easy."
"It seems that... in times of war, the theoretical knowledge requirements for ninjas are much less strict."
Mirai Uchiha took very little time to answer all the questions.
He glanced around the room and saw that everyone seemed relaxed, with no apparent pressure.
Soon, the exam time ended.
The ANBU in charge of the supervision graded the exams on the spot, and in the end, only five people were eliminated for failing to achieve the required score.
Only two people were eliminated for cheating.
This showed that the difficulty of this exam was indeed very ordinary.
"All candidates who have passed, gather at the Death Forest in three days."
After giving some information about the next test, the ANBU ninjas left with the exams.
The first test of the Chūnin Exams was over.
After a brief period of calm, the name of Mirai Uchiha was once again on everyone's lips.
...
Three days later.
Outside the Death Forest.
The ninja teams participating in the Chūnin Exams, after signing a life-or-death consent form, each received a scroll, either of Heaven or Earth.
This test was conducted in teams, and to pass, they had to gather a set of Heaven and Earth scrolls and successfully reach the central tower.
The Death Forest was full of fierce beasts and poisonous insects, the environment was hostile, and one mistake could cost them their lives.
In addition, to simulate the cruelty of the battlefield, this test tacitly allowed teams to fight each other mercilessly to achieve victory.
Of course, if during a fight, a team decided to surrender by handing over their scroll before being annihilated, the other teams could not continue attacking.
Such cruel rules made all the candidates participating in the test become serious.
Everyone, except for Mirai Uchiha's team.
Almost all the teams had come to an agreement.
If they encountered Mirai Uchiha's team, they could only consider it bad luck.
At noon.
The different ninja teams entered the Death Forest through various entrances.
The second test of the Chūnin Exams officially began!
...
Death Forest.
Since it was winter, everything was filled with bare tree trunks and dry, yellowing vines.
Compared to spring and summer, it was difficult to find a good hiding spot in the current Death Forest.
Moreover, since it had recently snowed, the ground was covered with a layer of white snow.
Concealing their tracks was almost impossible.
"Mirai, do you have a plan?"
After observing the surroundings, Kurenai Yuhi, as usual, asked Mirai Uchiha for his opinion.
Mirai Uchiha pointed ahead: "Straight to the central tower."
"Eh?"
Kurenai Yuhi was a bit confused: "But if we don't gather the Heaven and Earth scrolls, we won't pass the test even if we reach the central tower."
"We'll encounter other teams on the way." Mirai Uchiha explained patiently. "And if we don't, we'll camp by the central tower entrance."
"The teams that reach the central tower will surely have already gathered the Heaven and Earth scrolls. If we take them, we'll be able to pass too."
Upon hearing Mirai Uchiha's words, Kurenai Yuhi was left speechless in surprise.
Could that really be done?
After thinking about it carefully, she realized that it made a lot of sense.
Such a method would probably be unfeasible for any other team.
After all... if they waited at the entrance of the central tower, it was highly likely that they would become the target of everyone.
But their team was different!
With Mirai's strength, there was no need to worry about that.
"Asuma, what do you think?"
Mirai Uchiha turned his gaze toward Asuma Sarutobi.
"Whatever, you decide."
Looking at the silent Asuma Sarutobi, Mirai Uchiha felt a little confused.
He wasn't sure if it was his imagination, but since the first test of the Chūnin Exams, Asuma seemed to have become a little disheartened.
But he wasn't interested in investigating too much about this Hokage's son who was in the midst of rebellion.
After confirming the direction, he made a hand gesture: "Let's go!"
...
Perhaps it was because they moved too fast.
In just one hour, Mirai Uchiha's trio reached the entrance of the central tower.
Following the plan, they stood quietly by the entrance, waiting for other ninja teams to arrive.
As time passed, more and more ninja teams arrived at the central tower.
But as soon as they saw Mirai Uchiha's team watching the entrance, each team chose to stop at a distance and observe.
And thus, an incredible scene occurred.
Three days later, more than a dozen ninja teams were standing at a short distance from the central tower.
In the cold wind, all of them crouched on the ground, looking at each other helplessly.
"What is Mirai Uchiha up to? If he stays here watching, doesn't he want to eliminate all of us?"
"I don't think so, in that case, the examiners would surely come out to stop him."
"Could it be that they haven't gathered the Heaven and Earth scrolls and want to steal them from the teams that arrive at the tower?"
"I wouldn't be surprised, that's very possible."
"Damn, how arrogant is that Uchiha brat..."
Upon hearing the discussions of the others, Obito Uchiha couldn't take it anymore, stood up, and snorted: "Kakashi, are we just going to sit here waiting forever?"
"You're not weak either, couldn't you distract Mirai Uchiha?"
Upon hearing Obito Uchiha's words, Kakashi Hatake shook his head: "You're overestimating me."
"As long as Mirai is watching here, no one can enter the central tower."
If even Kakashi Hatake didn't have confidence, let alone the others.
After a moment of silence, someone suggested: "If we all attack together, maybe Mirai Uchiha won't be able to stop us all."
No one supported it.
Mirai Uchiha was a ninja strong enough to kill a Jōnin; who would dare to be the first to risk it?
This scene made Might Guy's blood boil with excitement.
How cool.
He wished his youth could shine as brightly as Mirai's.
...
"Mirai, it seems they're too afraid to approach. Do you think this will really work?"
Kurenai Yuhi asked Mirai Uchiha with some concern.
The time limit for the Death Forest exam was five days.
Three days had already passed.
At first, she thought it would be enough to steal the scrolls from a team that wanted to pass, but she didn't expect that, after so much time, not a single team would intend to get closer.
If this continued, would the village just stand by?
"Don't worry, Kurenai."
"Someone will eventually get desperate."
Mirai Uchiha said calmly.
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of a fight was heard ahead.
Immediately after, a Heaven scroll and an Earth scroll were thrown toward them from a distance.
"See, we can pass now."
Mirai Uchiha stood up, took the scrolls in his hand, and turned to enter the central tower.
Leaving Kurenai Yuhi completely confused.
No... was this really a way to pass?
By just sitting and resting at the entrance for three days, someone had gathered the scrolls on their own and handed them over...
Incredible!
This was on another level!
