Inside the central tower of the Death Forest.
The special Jonin in charge of the third exam was Namiashi Raido, who was sitting on a bench, waiting silently.
At this time, Namiashi Raido was just over twenty years old, and his face did not yet bear that terrifying scar.
Carrying a black katana, he wasn't exactly handsome, but at least he wasn't disfigured.
Besides the teams standing side by side, nine other teams had already arrived at the central tower.
Apart from four teams that looked dejected, the rest of the teams were in high spirits, clearly feeling that their team had done very well.
Perhaps this is why some people are happy while others are sad.
Just then, the doors of the central tower opened again.
The first to step through the gate was Uchiha Naraku, followed closely by Itachi and Chama into the central tower.
When Naraku and his two companions entered the central tower, the entire group was taken aback.
After all, Naraku and his group were the youngest of all the teams participating in the assessment, and everyone had a deep impression of them.
At first, everyone thought these three kids were just there to join in the Chunin Exams and gain some experience, but when it came to the actual combat assessment, they were the first to be eliminated.
To everyone's surprise, this team actually made it here.
As luck would have it, just as Naraku and his two companions found a spot to stand, they noticed that the two ninjas next to them looked very familiar.
"Oh my god...aren't those three kids?"
The speaker was a young Konoha ninja around 20 years old. He had a black spiky hairstyle and a sleazy appearance, clearly a cannon fodder character.
Naraku glanced at him indifferently, raising an eyebrow in surprise. This guy was none other than one of the two who had idly mocked Naraku and Itachi during the first exam.
"I never expected you guys to have some skills. It seems that we were indeed at fault before, and we really underestimated you."
Naraku thought that these cannon fodder supporting characters would definitely come up with a barrage of taunts and provocations, and then he would show off and slap them in the face, which would be perfect. Who would have thought that these two would be so sensible.
What a pity.
"Yeah, bro, we didn't have this level of skill when we were this young. Although judging from your appearance, you probably didn't get any extra scrolls either, and it took you a little longer to get here,"
"However, don't be discouraged. With your talent, you will definitely pass the Chunin Exams next year."
Actually, the change in attitude of these spiky brothers is not surprising.
In the ninja world, strength is still paramount, and no one looks down on the strong.
If you are strong enough, even if you become a rogue ninja and destroy Konoha, you can still be forgiven as long as you can "genuinely" repent.
But you are nothing, yet you overestimate yourself and become a rogue ninja. That would be a pity. Even if you don't do anything excessive, you will still be hunted down and killed.
This is... reality.
"Hehehe, you flatter me."
Senju Chaji was secretly pleased; he wouldn't tell them.
The reason they returned so late was because they couldn't find the Scroll of Earth.
After encountering Orochimaru, they wiped out eight more teams in the Forest of Death before finally collecting all the scrolls and arriving at the central tower.
When the results are announced, I'll take out all the scrolls and make sure they're scared out of their wits.
"Hey hey hey, little girl, what's your name? We have a three-day holiday after the exams, want to go on a date with us brothers?"
The spiky-haired brothers grinned lewdly.
Itachi Uchiha's face gradually turned cold.
(As expected, those two sleazy guys still needed to be taught a lesson.)
And so, an hour passed, and it was past noon.
During this period, four more teams arrived, including Uzuki Yugao and her two companions.
When she saw Naraku, she even gave him a friendly smile.
To express gratitude.
"Alright, all the teams that haven't been eliminated yet have arrived. Let's start tallying the results now."
After hearing a Chunin's report, Namiashi Raido began the final tallying of results.
"No need for that much effort, just come over in small teams from left to right."
Upon hearing Raito's words, a gray-clad ninja stepped out from the first group on the left.
With a cold and arrogant expression, he walked to Nami's side, took out a scroll of earth from his pocket, and handed it to him.
"Very good, your team was the first to arrive, and you have earned a total of 130 points."
The gray-clad captain returned to his unit with his head held high and chest out.
(See? Now that Konoha no longer has the Yellow Flash, my Gray Flash, Minato, will be the fastest ninja in the world.)
After the city construction team rejoined the ranks, the second through sixth teams stepped forward one after another.
They all had only one scroll, and half of them were scrolls of earth.
Seeing this, Naraku finally understood why it had been so difficult for his team to find the Earth Scroll.
The seventh team was the team with the sly hedgehog head.
The hedgehog-headed man also stepped forward with his head held high and handed over the three scrolls of Heaven, Earth, and Man from his team.
"Very good, you have earned 100 points. Go back to your team and wait."
"Next team."
The next team will naturally be Uchiha Naraku and his two companions.
"Don't be discouraged, little girls, it's okay, the future is yours."
The spiky-haired youth, who had just returned to the group, began to lewdly comfort Naraku again.
Uchiha Itachi, with a cold face, didn't say a word and tried to step forward to hand over the scroll.
Unexpectedly, Cha Jian quickly approached Itachi and secretly took all the scrolls from Itachi's body.
How could we let Itachi do something so high-profile?
Of course, it should be Lord Senju Chama, the future hero of my Senju clan!
Chajian quickly approached Namiashi Raido and, mimicking Itachi's usual cold expression when he was angry, put on a stern face.
Then, in full view of everyone, he took out three scrolls from his person.
"Your three scrolls are all 'human' characters, so they only count as ten points. Go back now."
Namiichi Raido chuckled. This team was really unlucky; they actually managed to collect all three scrolls of humanity.
The spiky-haired brothers behind him raised their eyebrows. These kids actually have three scrolls?
What a pity, they're all scrolls of human beings. It seems luck is also a part of strength.
"Sorry, sorry, I took the wrong teacher's picture. These are the correct ones."
Just as everyone was marveling at Naraku and his group, Senju Chama pulled out three more scrolls from his person.
They were placed side by side, one side showing two scrolls in the shape of the character "人" (ren) and the other a scroll in the shape of the character "天" (tian).
How many teams did this group wipe out?
There are six scrolls?
The spiky-haired duo behind them were also dumbfounded.
What are you doing? Are you trying to sell scrolls or something?
"Alright, you've earned 50 points, go back..."
Before Namikaze could finish speaking, Senju Chama pulled out six more scrolls...
The entire room fell silent…
