章節 379: Chapter 373: Forest of Death
"Something's off about this guy? He's too terrifying," Sakura couldn't help but shudder, and Naruto swallowed hard. S and A-rank missions aren't easily accomplished; for instance, Team 7's bodyguard mission, even with Zabuza's presence, was classified as 'A.'
What about 'S-rank' missions?
"Is he stronger than the Hokage?"
"Well, it's possible, but don't worry too much. The Devourer is from Konoha, and there are rumors that his loyalty was given to the Fifth Hokage. Many of his responsibilities were revoked, and now the Fifth Hokage is in charge. Of course, I can't say the same for other villages. If you happen to encounter him, consider yourselves very unlucky. Be careful, kids..."
There were many more details, but Kabuto wisely refrained from sharing more. The walls have ears, and he might be under surveillance. However, witnessing the Genin's panic, especially when mentioning encounters with other villages, was amusing.
*Swoosh*
Suddenly, a smoke cloud appeared, and a voice emerged.
"All right, brats, quiet down and listen... It's time to begin. My name is Ibiki Morino, your worst nightmare."
------------------
"Any progress on my condition?"
[Do you think I'm a deity? Your spiritual world is a complete anomaly; it takes a long time to analyze.]
Sighing, Yuki closed his eyes. Since signing the contract with Eggy, Yuki sought a solution to his spiritual world issue and soul problem. In the God's world, Loki claimed she could heal it, but Yuki doubted this, as his problem stemmed from the Demon King, and Yuki didn't believe Loki could help with that.
So, he trusted Eggy, connected to his soul, having access to his spiritual world, and stronger spiritual power than Est. Eggy, a resident of a Super World level 9, possessed many strange abilities that could aid him. Unfortunately, it required time, and Eggy hadn't found the root of the problem yet.
But that was fine; there was no rush. Yuki's Demon King was too strong; he needed to analyze slowly and act carefully. Yuki didn't want to awaken it again.
"It can't be helped. Always be cautious, and remember not to surpass your limits with the Sky Castle."
[No need to remind me; this Queen knows what to do.]
After a bit more conversation with Eggy, Tsubaki arrived home and immediately embraced him, flirting.
"What about Sister Tsunade?"
"Tsunade-sama is busy... we're alone, Danna-sama."
After a deep kiss, Tsubaki's eyes sparkled with lust, whispering in his ear. Yuki smiled, holding her plump behind. Both had been restraining themselves for a long time. With Tsunade absent, it was their chance to taste the forbidden fruit.
"Aniki?"
"!!"
Just as Yuki was about to undress Tsubaki, Sasuke entered the house. Tsubaki panicked and teleported, leaving Yuki shocked and depressed.
"Sasuke..."
"Am I interrupting something?"
"It's fine, nothing important."
Shaking his head, Yuki couldn't blame Sasuke; he still had an innocent look regarding such matters.
"How did your exams go? Did you pass the first test?"
"I did, but the second test starts tomorrow."
"I see..."
While Sasuke explained the process, Yuki wasn't really listening. He was more interested in whether he could visit Tsubaki's bed tonight. Avoiding Tsunade's surveillance wasn't easy, especially with Eggy likely stealing glances during the act.
(Maybe it's time to consummate my marriage with Sister Tsunade.)
Frustrated with hiding, Yuki seriously considered taking the next step in his relationship with Tsunade. Unfortunately, it was still a matter of time. Tsunade was waiting for him to grow into a splendid ninja before accepting him.
"Aniki?"
Seeing his brother lost in thought, Sasuke couldn't help but call him.
"It's okay; I'm listening. In short, tomorrow, you'll have a long exam in the Forest of Death, understood..."
"They didn't mention anything about the Forest of Death... Wait? The next test will be in a forest?"
"Dinner is served; eat and go to bed. You need rest."
Without giving Sasuke a chance to continue his questions, Yuki fled without hesitation.
"Aniki!"
Sasuke wanted to stop him, but all he saw was Yuki's shadow.
"You'll thank me tomorrow!"
------------
"Welcome to the Forest of Death, worms... I am your next proctor, Anko Mitarashi."
Smirking coldly, Anko looked at the many Genin in front of her. There were too many, and her duty was to reduce this group by more than half.
"From now on, the next exam begins. You'll spend the last five days in there; this is a survival test, and I'm sure you'll enjoy it."
Pointing to the forest, the smile on her face widened, and her eyes squinted.
(So, this is what it's about...)
Frowning, Sasuke had no doubts now. Yuki was involved in these Chunin exams.
(Aniki...)
Fortunately, he followed Yuki's advice and had a good meal at home. Now, with a full stomach, he could face whatever came. Sakura wasn't so lucky; she had a blank look.
"Great! A survival exam! I'll definitely pass!"
On the other hand, Naruto was excited to start.
"All right, worms, get your scrolls and wait at your gate; the exam is starting."
Anko wasted no time; the fun was about to begin...
Teams attended, grabbed their scrolls, and found their gate to the Forest of Death. Many had already grasped the main goal, so they were nervous and anxious. The danger in that forest was much higher than what they had faced before, surviving beasts and other participants, with long days and short nights, the tower was their objective.
"Ready, the second exam begins!"
-----------------
"How is this possible?"
"Impossible... How did it happen?"
Trembling in fear, several examiners stared in horror at three corpses. These corpses were Genin from the Grass Village, Chunin exam participants who were easily killed without raising suspicions, and their faces were disfigured. However, that wasn't the problem.
"This is bad... Very bad."
Regardless of their faces, what terrified the examiners the most was that they were killed in Konoha under the extreme surveillance of the Devourer. No one escaped the Devourer's eyes; every spy was easily caught, and criminals were arrested. With the Devourer in Konoha, security was guaranteed.
But now, someone could murder Genin and escape the eyes of that monster. It meant there was someone of the same caliber as the Devourer in Konoha.
"Report to the Sensor!"
"Understood!"
It didn't take long for Anko to arrive at the scene.
"Impossible... How could this happen? That's his jutsu, but... Even for him, that should be impossible..."
Anko was equally surprised, especially when she found out who committed the crime. But this was beyond expectations even for the murderer, eluding surveillance seemed impossible.
"Report this to the Fifth Hokage and also to the Special Anbu Hunters. Send the Devourer to the Forest of Death."
Gritting her teeth, several thoughts raced through Anko's mind, wondering if, in these two years, they had placed too much reliance on the Devourer for Konoha's security.
"Quick!"
"Yes, ma'am!"
Scattering, Anko entered the Forest of Death; her master had arrived, and as a traitor from the Village, Anko had the duty to eliminate them.
(Orochimaru... You're too careless.)
What they didn't know was that Yuki had been watching them. He sighed and shook his head. Orochimaru was relishing this, and from the way they died, it was more than enough for Yuki to know.
As it couldn't be helped, Yuki's shadow moved and shot off at high speed. Regardless, no one could know that Orochimaru was in the village and that Yuki allowed him in. Witnesses needed silencing, including Anko, so Yuki consumed the corpses for Eggy and vanished into the shadows, entering the Forest of Death.
