Chapter 303: Naruto: I am Uchiha Shirou [303]
The Forest of Death.
Within the damp and dimly lit forest, the sounds of explosive tags and ninjutsu roars echoed intermittently, accompanied by bloodcurdling screams.
The second stage of the Chūnin Exams had begun!
Each team was randomly assigned an entry point, disrupting any pre-planned alliances.
Moreover, the fierce competition for the Heaven and Earth scrolls caused newly formed alliances to crumble almost immediately.
The massive water sphere in the forest reflected scenes of countless battles taking place within the Forest of Death.
"This is what ninja battles look like? So brutal!"
"They're just kids, and yet..."
In the spectator stands, countless civilians and nobles gasped in astonishment. Some were awed by the power of the ninjas and the dazzling variety of their techniques.
Others, however, were struck by the cruelty of it all, their faces filled with shock.
Meanwhile, among the nobles, some had eyes gleaming with excitement, marveling at the strength of the most powerful ninja village in the world.
