Cave of death.
Central region.
A large hill rises up here, giving a bit of a strange feeling.
The top of the hill was hollow, windows are located around the perimeter, and inside there were quite a few rooms, in one of them several examiners were gathered, most of them were Tokubetsu Jounins, they carefully watched what was happening in the Cave of Death through the screens that fanned everything that happened in the Cave of Death.
The examiners were taking turns with each other to monitor what was happening in the Cave of Death, as the second phase of the Chuunin examination would last three days, but in the room were also the Jounins from Kirigakure and Kumogakure.
These were the Jounins leading the teams of Genins from their respective villages.
"He easily defeated two teams, is this guy a bit strong, or are the Genins of Konoha too weak?"
The leader of the Kirigakure team was Fuguki Suikazan, one of the seven Mist swordsmen, he stared at one of the screens and said slowly.
All the ninja in Konoha were surprised by Yeruashi's performance.
Most of them didn't know that Yeruashi participated in the Chuunin examination by order of the Hokage, and they only thought that Yeruashi was Kakashi's older brother and should have at least some skills, but he suddenly defeated two ninja teams in which representatives of the Inuzuka and Aburame clans attended in such a short time.
"But my students are not weak..."
Team leader Tsume and Shibi were also present in the room, he looked at the screen and said grumpily, Yeruashi's strength completely exceeded his expectations.
Fuguki Suikazan turned to the speaker and smiled, showing his fangs as he said, "If that's the case, then maybe this exam won't be too boring for Kisame."
"..."
Hearing Suikazan's words, the numerous Konoha ninja present in the room looked at him and frowned.
Those words were too arrogant!
These words were tantamount to looking down on all the Genin of Konoha.
"Hmph, wait and see..."
The Konoha Jounin beside him snorted coldly.
Everyone continued to stare at the screens.
But as they looked at the screen, the faces of the Konoha ninjas gradually began to change, because in less than three hours, Kisame's team killed two Konoha teams!
Each battle went cleanly and smoothly!
The strength demonstrated by Hoshigaki Kisame was nothing like that of a Genin, it seemed that he could continuously use B-Rank Jutsus, and his chakra volume seemed no less than the level of a Jounin, he was a monster!
"Damn... What's the amount of chakra, can't it be Jinchuriki?"
One of the Konoha ninja stared at the screen and couldn't help but speak.
Suikazan smiled and replied, "Idiot, how could we send Jinchuriki to the Chuunin examination held in Konoha? Of course, kisame is not a Jinchuriki, he was born with a monstrous amount of chakra!"
"...."
Suikazan's words made the ninjas of Konoha look even more grim.
At the start of the second phase, Konoha had the most teams participating, only eight teams, but in less than half a day, four teams had already been disqualified!
Even more unpleasant was that having eliminated two teams from Konoha and having received the necessary scroll, the kisame team had shown no intention of completing the stage, and instead continue to hunt down the other teams!
It seemed that their goal was to eliminate all the teams participating in the second stage of the Chuunin Examination!
"Don't look at me like that, the Kirigakure ranking system is much more violent!"
Noticing the disgruntled looks of the Konoha ninjas, Suikazan calmly said, "A weak person without strength does not have the qualifications to become a ninja!"
In Suikazan's eyes, Konoha's evaluation system really seemed too soft, in Kirigakure, they have to kill a classmate when they graduate from the Academy, only one of the two will survive! And the Chuunin exams were bloody and brutal from start to finish. but every person who passed the exams was an Elite ninja!
"This is the style of the village of the bloody mist..."
The Jounin of Kumogakure, who hadn't said a word before, looked at Suikazan, folded his arms and said defiantly, "Hmm, such an opponent won't scare our team!"
"We'll see..."
Suikazan looked at the Jounin of Kumogakure and replied indifferently.
Time flew by.
The night passed and the next day arrived.
As soon as Hiruzen woke up, Anbu appeared outside his room and made a report.
"Lord Hokage, something went wrong!"
"Hmm?"
Hiruzen's drowsiness vanished instantly, he stood up abruptly, dressed quickly and left the room, saying, "What happened?!"
"It's about the second stage of the Chuunin examination..."
The Anbu followed the Hokage, quickly explaining the situation of the Chuunin examination, which caused Hiruzen's face to change drastically.
After a day and a night... Six teams from Konoha had already been disqualified!
Only two teams remained!
Almost all the teams from the small ninja villages were also disqualified, and now there were only four teams left taking the Chuunin examination, including the Kirigakure and Kumogakure team, the Konoha team, which is the Uchiha Hisada and the Yeruashi team, which consists of one person!
"How did this happen?"
Hiruzen's gaze became heavy as he had a vague suspicion in his mind, and as he hurried in the direction of the monitoring room of the second phase of the Chuunin examination, he asked the Anbu in a deep voice.
Anbu's reply confirmed his suspicions.
After obtaining the necessary scroll, the ninjas of Kirigakure and Kumogakure were not going to stop participating in the second stage, but continued to hunt other teams!
Whoosh, whoosh!!!!
Hiruzen headed for the Cave of Death and quickly arrived at the Central Tower, appearing in the observation room.
"Lord Hokage!"
Numerous Konoha ninja abruptly turned around and greeted Hiruzen.
Hiruzen's gaze swept around the room and stopped on one of them, saying, "When did you get here, Orochimaru?"
All the ninja of Konoha, regardless of whether they were Chuunin or Jounin, looked at Orochimaru in astonishment, and Suikazan and the ninja of Kumogakure looked at him cautiously, showing no trace of yesterday's arrogance.
"A little before you, Sensei."
Orochimaru smiled and answered replied, his voice a little hoarse, "I heard a rumor that a special Genin showed up for the Chuunin exam, so I decided and take a look..."
Hiruzen unhurriedly stepped forward and looked at the screens, "Don't you dare do anything strange in this period, Orochimaru!"
Hiruzen, of course, understood his student's character well.
Orochimaru's interest in one of the participants means that he may try to do something during the examination. In the current situation, it is absolutely unacceptable to act against the Kumogakure and Kirigakure Genins, such a thing would be tantamount to declaring war!
"Hehe... I understand, Sensei!"
Orochimaru chuckled and nodded, upon hearing this answer, Suikazan and Jounin of Kumogakure felt pressure, because it was very difficult to understand what Orochimaru was really thinking, he could only hope that after receiving the order from his Hokage, he would refrain from any action.
He had no desire to face one of the most dangerous ninja in Konoha.
