Deep within the Forest of Death, a brutal battle for scrolls is unfolding, determining who will advance in the Chunin Exams. Each team possesses one of the two required scrolls, and the only way to complete the test is to collect both. In this deadly environment, filled with traps and ruthless enemies, Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura must push themselves to the limit in order to survive and secure their place in the next phase.

However, their fight takes a terrifying turn when they come face to face with a mysterious and incredibly powerful ninja – Orochimaru. This unknown adversary immediately displays his overwhelming strength, easily taking Naruto out of the battle. His true target is Sasuke, to whom he inflicts a strange and ominous Curse Mark, leaving him in critical condition before vanishing into the shadows of the forest.

As Team 7 struggles to comprehend what just happened, a trio from the Sound Village (Otonin) seizes the opportunity to attack Sakura, who has been left completely alone. With enemies closing in, Sakura is forced to summon all her courage and wit in a desperate attempt to defend herself.

Help arrives at the last moment, but the attackers refuse to back down—after another ferocious assault, Sakura collapses, unable to fight any longer. However, the battle is far from over! Just when all hope seems lost, a counterattack is unleashed that could turn the tide of the fight!

Who will survive this deadly night in the Forest of Death? What are Orochimaru’s true intentions, and how will his mysterious mark affect Sasuke?
