Chapter 113 AnkoThere were certainly no shortage of people who gave up. After all, the condition of never being able to participate in the Chunin Exams again was simply too cruel. One after another, many people lowered their heads and left the examination hall.There was another reason why Naruto chose to help Sakura. This final question was actually about making a difficult choice. If one chose to abstain and not answer, they would be immediately eliminated, along with the other two members of their team.If one chose to answer, they had to get it right, otherwise they would be eliminated all the same.This action of hers made Naruto dislike her even more. It didn't matter if Sakura herself chose to abstain, but what about her two teammates?This was a very selfish choice. Perhaps she had never thought about this point, but Naruto had to consider it. He didn't want Shizune and Tong Yu to be eliminated from this selection process because of Sakura.When there were basically no more people leaving, a smile finally appeared on Ibiki's usually very serious face. He spoke up: "Is there no one else who wants to leave?""Very well, to everyone remaining here, I hereby declare that you have passed!"As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately caused quite a stir. Sakura even stood up directly, slammed the table, and said: "This is the Chunin Exams! How could there be such a thing as a sudden promotion?"Although Ibiki looked a bit scary, he was actually quite cute when he smiled. He explained to those present: "The previous nine questions were deliberately made very difficult. Among you, except for one or two individuals, most of you would basically be unable to answer them based on your own ability.""In reality, this was to test your information-gathering capabilities and teamwork.""As for the tenth question, it was to test your determination to become a Ninja. If I had to say, then this choice of whether to stay in the examination hall or not was the tenth question!"After hearing his explanation, everyone suddenly realized what was going on and sighed in their hearts, "That was close." Just like that, only 78 people passed the test in this round. It must be said that this elimination rate was quite staggering.You have to realize, this was only the first round of testing, and it already reached an elimination rate of around 50%. How difficult the rest would be was almost unimaginable.Everyone had passed the first round of the Chunin Exams, and they stood up one after another, wanting to leave the examination hall. But before they could even be happy, another situation arose.The examination hall window was shattered by two Kunai, which were then nailed to the wall behind Ibiki. A female Ninja from Konohaappeared, drawing everyone's attention.Her figure was quite voluptuous, wearing a fishnet outfit on her upper body with a yellow cloak over it. Her neat, simple short hair, combined with her fiery personality, made it very easy for people to have some strange fantasies after seeing her.This person was none other than the proctor for the second stage of the Chunin Exams, the KonohaJonin Anko Mitarashi. It must be said that she was a very passionate person.This time, she actually even brought a black cloth behind her with her introduction on it. She was full of energy right from the start, looking just like a teenager with 'chuunibyou' tendencies.Unfortunately, her passion failed to infect the candidates at the scene. They all looked at Ankospeechlessly, their faces seemingly saying, "Don't come over here, I don't want to interact with you."This scene made Anko somewhat embarrassed. Just when she wanted to quickly change the subject, someone stood up and helped her out of the awkward situation.Such an understanding person was naturally none other than the most positive, optimistic, and helpful Naruto. He stood up and responded to Anko with great excitement.However, this scene seemed even more awkward than before. Fortunately, Naruto still had a few underlings. Seeing their boss like this, Tong Yu and Rock Lee also stood up and joined the group.With that, not only did Naruto breathe a sigh of relief, but seeing that someone had given her a way out, Anko was also very gratified, feeling that the more she looked at Naruto, the more pleasing he became to her.With her personality, she had many friends in Konoha over the years and her popularity was not bad, but she always felt that no one truly understood her.And with Naruto's appearance at this moment, she seemed to feel that the soulmate she had been waiting for had finally appeared!Thinking of this, she reached out with her jade-like hand to stroke her hair, a charming smile appearing on the corner of her mouth, revealing a charm completely opposite to her usual temperament.Such an Anko was very rare. Before anyone else could react, Ibiki beside her widened his eyes, pointed his finger at her, and said in disbelief: "Who, who are you exactly? It's impossible for Anko to have this kind of smile!"The originally very serene Anko immediately broke character upon hearing this. Black lines appeared on her face, and then, clenching her fists, she roared at Ibiki: "Ibiki, that's enough!""Right, I still wanted to ask you! Why are there so many people sitting here? Did you deliberately go easy on them!"It was obvious that Anko was maliciously retaliating and looking for trouble, so Ibiki wisely shut his mouth and chose not to provoke her further.Only then was Anko satisfied. Immediately after, she said domineeringly: "Prepare yourselves. In the next round, I will reduce the number of people here by more than half. Alright, now come with me to see the venue for the second round of exams!"After saying this, Anko walked out on her own. The Genin in the examination hall naturally dared not hesitate and hurriedly got up to follow her out.Soon they arrived at the venue for the second round of exams. This was a huge forest, surrounded by layers of iron fences. Even from the outside, they could vaguely hear the roars of wild beasts coming from within.Then, Anko introduced the place to them: "This place is called the 'Forest of Death'. Soon, you will be able to experience it for yourselves inside."Everyone was listening to Anko introduce the place, except for Naruto, who remained in a daze. His eyes were fixed tightly on Anko's protruding, huge assets; it looked like he desperately wanted to go up and measure them with his hands directly.Anko, who was explaining, finally noticed his existence. Although this lecherous brat had helped her out of an awkward situation earlier, staring at her chest like that in public made her feel somewhat shy and uncomfortable.Anko's face turned red. She decided to teach this bold, yellow-haired brat a lesson. She took out two Kunai and threw one of them at Naruto.Although Naruto was in a daze at this moment, his combat instincts were no longer what they used to be. This level of attack couldn't hurt him in the slightest.His body instinctively dodged. Naruto lowered his head, and the Kunai grazed past his face. This surprised Anko slightly, and she thought to herself: This brat's strength isn't bad at all.But her movements did not stop. Anko flashed, and when she was spotted again, she had already arrived behind Naruto. Anko wanted to use the other Kunai in her hand to teach Naruto a lesson.Her speed was definitely fast, but it depends on who you are comparing her to. In front of Naruto, it was a bit like a minor wizard in the presence of a great one.But the high emotional intelligence Naruto decided that in front of so many people, he couldn't let her lose face and be unable to step down. Therefore, he did not counterattack, but just leaned his body slightly backward.
