Deep in the Forest of Death, where danger and uncertainty reign, every team struggles to survive and secure the scrolls necessary to advance in the Chunin Exam. Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura bravely push forward, but they are suddenly ambushed by a powerful and enigmatic shinobi – Orochimaru.

His strength is unfathomable. Naruto is swiftly defeated, while Sasuke faces an unknown horror. Orochimaru marks him with a cursed seal, leaving him in agony before vanishing into the depths of the forest. What is his ultimate goal, and what fate awaits Sasuke under the influence of this mysterious mark?

Despite the overwhelming challenges, seven teams successfully complete the deadly Forest of Death trial, moving forward to the next phase of the exam. But the road to the third stage is anything but easy – before it begins, all remaining participants must go through preliminary battles!

Now, each competitor steps into the arena alone, ready to face an unknown opponent in an intense one-on-one duel. Among them, Kabuto withdraws from the competition, leaving twenty fighters to battle for their survival and a chance to proceed to the next stage.

Who will emerge victorious and secure their place in the third exam? What tactics will the fighters use, and will Sasuke be able to withstand the effects of Orochimaru’s curse?
