Uchiha Sasuke had no interest in Orochimaru's interest in him. His gaze fixed solely on the Hidden Grass Ninja quietly standing in the corner of the crowd, particularly on the red-haired girl with her head always down, and he couldn't help but smile slightly.
"The second exam, prepare to start!"
As the candidates completed the signing of the Life and Death Document, the chief examiner, Mitarashi Anko, quickly arranged the starting points for each team in the Forest of Death.
When the time reached the start of the exam, Mitarashi Anko wasted no time, immediately raising her hand to order all examiners to open all the gates of the Forest of Death!
A flock of Genin immediately swarmed in!
Team Seven also dashed swiftly into the Forest of Death!
Uchiha Sasuke leaped to the forefront, his figure suddenly landing on the ground and using the Chakra Perception Jutsu left behind by the Second Hokage to sense all the Chakra around him!
"Head directly in that direction!"
Uchiha Sasuke pointed in a direction, solemnly reminding Naruto Uzumaki and Haruno Sakura, "That's the area with the most Ninja. We can collect the scrolls we want the fastest there!"
"What?"
"Going where there are the most people?"
Naruto Uzumaki and Haruno Sakura were taken aback.
Uchiha Sasuke stood up, glanced back at his two companions, "It's only there we can quickly collect all the scrolls we want!"
"Won't it be dangerous?"
Haruno Sakura still felt a little scared, trembling and hugging her shoulders.
"No need to worry about danger..."
Uchiha Sasuke chuckled lightly, stretched out his palm, and clenched it into a fist, a proud look in his eyes, "I am the biggest danger in the Forest of Death!"
"..."
Naruto Uzumaki and Haruno Sakura really didn't know what to say.
Since this Forest of Death assessment was a team battle, they couldn't separate from their teammates and had to follow Uchiha Sasuke.
On the other side.
After entering the Forest of Death with his two subordinates, Orochimaru dashed straight toward Uchiha Sasuke's direction!
"Find that group of brats!"
"Yes!"
The three people immediately advanced in three directions.
However, they didn't need to search that hard, as Uchiha Sasuke and Team Seven had no intention of hiding, even fearing they wouldn't be noticed enough.
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Jutsu!"
A giant fireball exploded in the midst of the forest!
The three Genin teams that had just encountered each other hadn't even had a chance to fight before being completely intimidated by the massive fireball, unable to help themselves from looking toward the direction of the intruder!
"This level of Ninjutsu..."
All nine Genin on the scene were startled by the move!
Although the Great Fireball Jutsu is just a C-level Fire Release Ninjutsu, when released by Uchiha Sasuke, the fireball's diameter instantly expanded to over ten meters, its power frighteningly strong!
"Hand over your scrolls..."
Uchiha Sasuke's figure suddenly jumped to the ground, his foot stepping onto a rock, looking arrogantly at the group of older Genin, revealing a smile on his face, "And tell me, has anyone seen the Ninja from Hidden Grass Village and Konoha?"
"..."
Naruto Uzumaki and Haruno Sakura followed behind him.
"..."
A group of Genin looked at each other in confusion.
"A bunch of brats?"
A tall Genin quickly got cocky, waving a Kunai and charging at Uchiha Sasuke, "Don't get too cocky!"
"That's right!"
"Just a bunch of brats!"
"Who do you think you are!"
The other two Genin quickly followed their teammate charging in!
Whoosh!
Uchiha Sasuke's figure rushed toward them, his Ninja Sword at his waist unsheathed in an instant. A fierce sword light flashed, and the first Genin who charged over was decapitated on the spot, blood instantly spurting from his neck!
This black-haired boy quickly transformed into a Grim Reaper walking in the Forest of Death. After slashing another Genin with his Ninja Sword, he grabbed the last Genin of this team by the neck and slammed him to the ground!
After all...
Every team needs at least one alive.
"I'm not that interested in killing people..."
Uchiha Sasuke didn't even look at the opponent beneath his foot, but merely drew a Kunai from his Ninja Pouch, running his fingers over the blade, "I hope everyone cooperates, otherwise, I do know a little about interrogation techniques..."
More than just a little...
The Root Ninja are exceedingly skilled in these methods.
As a part of a department independent from the Hokage's system, the Root Ninja rarely act collectively with other departments, so they're generally trained to be all-around Ninja, even having their own medical unit independent of the medical department.
"..."
The remaining two Genin teams looked at each other.
"Run first!"
Feeling how troublesome Uchiha Sasuke was—he had taken out a whole team by himself—they immediately wanted to escape in the opposite direction!
"Don't let them escape, Naruto..."
Uchiha Sasuke seemed very familiar with these two teams.
"Got it!"
Naruto Uzumaki showed a determined look as well. This blonde kid raised his fingers instantly, giving a low shout, "Ninpo: Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
As the Jutsu was unleashed, countless dense Shadow Clones appeared from his back, instantly surrounding this area!
The Multiple Shadow Clone was noticeably more intimidating than Uchiha Sasuke.
