"Okay, the Leaf Village will give you an explanation," the Third Hokage sighed and said. "But know that the power of nature is irresistible. If there's no result, we can't do anything."
Darui was annoyed. The Third Hokage meant: "I'll send people to investigate. If they can't find anything, I'll say it was a natural disaster, and we can't do anything about it."
Darui didn't dare to argue. The event was strange and shocking, and it was outside the Leaf Village's plan. He had to wait for the Leaf Village to investigate.
The Third Hokage looked at the Genin.
"I now announce that the Chunin Exams will be postponed for a week. Go home," the Third Hokage said.
The Forest of Death test had to be stopped, and they had to investigate what happened. They would be busy this week. The Chunin Exams had to be put on hold.
"During this time, our ninjas might ask you about what happened in the Forest of Death. Please cooperate," Kakashi said.
The second Chunin Exam was temporarily stopped because of Kaoru's powerful move.
After the Third Hokage announced the end, Kurenai Yuhi came to Team 8.
"Are you three okay?" Kurenai Yuhi asked, looking at Team 8 with concern.
"Yes," Kaoru replied. Shin shook his head, and Mirai was silent, looking scared.
"You must be tired. Go home and rest," Kurenai Yuhi said.
"Okay." Team 8 nodded and left. They left the mess to the Leaf Village's leaders.
Kaoru and Shin and Mirai went home in silence. Shin was worried about being watched and didn't ask Kaoru about the Forest of Death.
Mirai didn't understand her teammates and didn't talk.
Kaoru said goodbye to Shin and Mirai and went home.
Wan'er was at school. Kaoru was alone.
Kaoru went into the Hero Space.
In the space, Kaoru got more skill points after his Sharingan turned into a Three-Tomoe Sharingan. He unlocked two heroes: Ashe and Lee Sin!
"I didn't expect to unlock two heroes after getting the Three-Tomoe Sharingan!" Kaoru was happy. He had to think about how to allocate the points. He should check the other skills first.
When he saw Garen's ultimate move, Kaoru frowned. Garen's ultimate move was on cooldown for 60 days, two months. It wasn't as long as Twisted Fate's, but it was long.
It made sense. If he could use that move every day, it would be too scary. Even if he could use it, his eyes couldn't handle it. He might go blind.
After checking the hero skills, Kaoru left the Hero Space and opened the scrolls Uchiha Obito gave him.
He opened the fire scroll first. The jutsus appeared: C-Rank Jutsu: Fire Style: Flame Bullet, B-Rank Jutsu: Great Flame Bullet, B-Rank Jutsu: Exploding Flame Formation, A-Rank Imprisonment Jutsu: Fire Style: Fire Imprisonment, etc.
"Not bad, there's an A-Rank Fire Style jutsu," Kaoru smiled and opened the water scroll.
C-Rank Jutsu: Water Bullet Technique, C-Rank Jutsu: Water Clone Technique, B-Rank Jutsu: Water Style: Water Whip, B-Rank Jutsu: Water Formation Wall, etc.
"Haha, these jutsus are good. I'm rich," Kaoru smiled. He had as many jutsus as a Jōnin. He started training.
Kaoru trained until night. The first day of the investigation in the Forest of Death was ending.
In the Hokage Building,
"How is it, Kakashi? How's the investigation going?" The Third Hokage asked Kakashi, who was standing in the center of the office.
"Not much progress," Kakashi said. "We investigated the chakra left by the sword and found it was a type we've never seen before, so we can't find the source. That's all we can do today. Tomorrow, we'll ask the Genin who took the Chunin Exams about what happened."
"Is that so?" The Third Hokage frowned. "It looks like that's all we can do today."
"Besides that, I have something else to report," Kakashi said.
"What is it?" the Third Hokage asked.
"The three Anbu ninjas we sent were killed in the Forest of Death," Kakashi said.
"What? All three of them died?" The Third Hokage stood up, shocked.
"Were they killed by the sword?" the Third Hokage asked.
"No," Kakashi shook his head. "Their bodies are still there, and they died differently. One seemed to have been controlled by genjutsu and committed suicide. The second was pierced through the chest. The third was crushed into pieces."
"So they were killed by other Genin in the Forest of Death?" the Third Hokage asked.
"That's right," Kakashi nodded. "I chose three elite Chunin from the Anbu. I don't understand how the Genin from other countries could be so strong."
The Anbu ninjas were supposed to stop the Genin from other countries. If they died, it was probably the Genin from other countries who killed them.
"That's strange. If even elite Chunin were killed, the ninjas from other countries must be Jōnin level," the Third Hokage sighed.
"They sent Jōnin to take the Chunin Exams? Kakashi, do you have any suspects?"
"I have two," Kakashi said. "The Hozuki from the Hidden Mist Village and the guy from the Hidden Stone Village who uses bombs. They might be able to defeat elite Chunin."
"Those two showed their skills at the meeting. If they went all out, they might be able to kill one elite Chunin, but to kill three..." The Third Hokage thought.
"They were found in different places, and they died differently. It wasn't the same person. I suspect someone else," Kakashi said.
"Oh, who else?" the Third Hokage asked.
"Another Genin from the Hidden Mist Village," Kakashi said, frowning. "The one covered in bandages. He gives me a dangerous feeling."
"Is that so?" The Third Hokage nodded. "Find a chance to test him. It's a disgrace to the Leaf Village to have three elite Chunin killed. Keep this a secret."
"Of course," Kakashi obeyed.
While the Third Hokage was ashamed, Danzō was furious.
"What?! Two elite Chunin and one special Jōnin are dead!" Danzō slammed his desk and shouted angrily.
