Chunin are placed in the testing area and the actual purpose of the test is to examine the Genin's ability to make wise choices and be deceptive by cheating off of the secret Chunin and not getting caught by the instructors.
Stage 2
This stage a practical exam that takes place in the Forest of Death, a location filled with many dangerous creatures. Each team of Genin are given 1 of 2 scrolls and told that they must obtain a complete set of scrolls within a specific time period or they fail. There are no rules or code of conduct outside of not looking inside the scroll and it is not uncommon for Genin to die during this stage of the exam. If too many Genin pass this stage, a preliminary round of 1 vs 1 battles is held immediately after to thin the numbers.Stage 3
