23: Chapter 23: The Chunin Exam Begins"Long time no see, Boss!I knew you would take the exam too."
Kiba and Choji eagerly gathered around Naruto when they saw him, and Lee also walked over quickly.
After graduation, everyone joined their own teams to carry out missions.It has been a long time since they last ate the chicken made by Naruto, and everyone missed the old days.
"Is your mission going well?Did you encounter any danger?" Naruto looked at his younger brothers and greeted them quickly.
"We are all fine!I just miss you so much.I eat a lot every day but my weight is decreasing instead of increasing!" Shikamaru said sadly.
He is different from others.His family's multiplication technique requires that the heavier the body, the greater the power.
Naruto had previously thought about learning Choji's multiplication technique someday.As long as he could learn a little bit to achieve partial multiplication, this ninjutsu might have an extraordinary effect at times.
"Naruto-kun, I wonder if you have fallen behind in your physical training during this period?If you slack off, I will surpass you!" Li rarely joked.
"Don't worry, Li.I haven't let my guard down for even a moment.But you better not get too far behind me!"
Naruto and the others didn't exchange pleasantries for too long before entering the examination room with the other candidates.It was almost time for the exam to start.
Naruto spotted Hinata in the crowd at a glance and immediately sat down next to Hinata.
"Hinata-chan, long time no see!" Hinata was the first to greet.
"Naruto-kun, long time no see." Hinata responded with her cheeks immediately blushing.
Naruto's sudden approach caught her off guard.
"Sorry for the long wait.I am the examiner of the first round, Morino Ibiki." A tall man with a sneer interrupted the conversation between Naruto and Hinata.
Ibiki is the captain of Konoha's interrogation department, and his specialty is obtaining information from the living and even the dead.
Perhaps it was because he had been doing this kind of work for a long time that he looked cold and evil.
Coupled with the terrifying centipede-like scar on his face, he looks even more terrifying.
Ibiki then introduced the exam rules to everyone.After listening, everyone understood that this was not a traditional theoretical exam, but a test of the ninja's intelligence gathering ability by requiring everyone to cheat.
All the candidates immediately began to show their talents.
Kiba simply let Akamaru lie on top of his head to see other people's answers, while Yuno used their secret ninjutsu to control insects to see other people's answers.
Gaara created an eyeball out of sand and it floated in the air.
But Naruto did nothing.In the original work, he couldn't answer any of the questions, but now he knows all of them but is too lazy to write.
He knew that it didn't matter whether he answered the questions or not, and the real purpose of this exam was not to test his intelligence.
As candidates who were caught cheating were kicked out of the examination room one after another, less than half of the people were left.
After everyone finished answering the nine questions on the test paper, Ibiki immediately announced that there was a tenth question.
"Before you answer the tenth question, you should think carefully about whether you want to answer it or not." Ibiki showed his sinister smile.
As the head of Konoha's torture department, Ibiki is best at playing with people's psychology.
"What will happen if you can't answer?" Temari, who was impatient, spoke immediately.
"If you can't answer, you will be directly deemed unqualified!And the two people in the same class will also be eliminated!" Ibiki's words instantly put great psychological pressure on everyone.
"Then what about those nine questions we just took?" Temari said angrily, feeling like she was being fooled.
The remaining candidates also shouted that this rule was too unreasonable.
Ibiki ignored everyone's doubts and continued, "If you choose to answer the question and don't answer it correctly.you will be disqualified from participating in the Chunin Exam forever!"
When everyone heard this, they immediately exploded again.
This means that if you make the wrong choice, you will be a Genin for the rest of your life.
"How can there be such a ridiculous rule!There has never been such a rule in previous exams!" The candidates all started to make an angry accusation.
"Hahaha." Ibiki just sneered.
"Your luck is terrible!This year, I'm the rule, and I have the final say!And didn't I give you a way out?If you don't have confidence, just quit!You won't lose your qualification for the next exam."
After hearing this, many mentally weak candidates became hesitant and wanted to give up.
"Well, think about it carefully!Should you persist and gamble the future of the entire team, or leave now to preserve the qualification for the next exam!" Ibiki said with a sneer.
Under the strong psychological pressure exerted by Ibiki, many candidates could not bear it and raised their hands to give up.
Sasuke, Shikamaru, and Neji were all confident in themselves and sat firmly in their seats.
Kiba, Choji, Kankuro and others all knew that they were poor students in terms of theoretical knowledge, but their unyielding spirit made them grit their teeth and hold on without giving up.
But at this moment, I was also engaged in a fierce psychological struggle in my heart, and it seemed that I might not be able to hold on.
Gaara sat there as steady as a rock.He was also a poor student in theoretical courses, but he was not afraid.One word stood out: "Tough!"
"Everyone here has passed!" Ibiki's voice suddenly rang out.
The candidates, who were wavering in their hearts at this moment, thought they were hallucinating, and looked at Ibiki in surprise and confusion to ask the reason.
"How did you pass suddenly?What about the tenth question?" Sakura couldn't help but stand up suddenly and ask, even ignoring Ibiki's terrifying momentum.
She had been under great pressure in her heart just now, and now it came through inexplicably, making her feel like she had been tricked.
"Hahaha.Actually, there is no tenth question.If you insist on saying there is one, then that multiple-choice question is it!" At this moment, Ibiki suddenly burst into a hearty laugh and answered.
That smile was so bright that it made people feel that the scars on his face were no longer scary.It seems that he actually has a gentle heart.
"What about the previous nine questions?Aren't they completely useless?" Temari asked without giving up.
"It's not useless.At least it proves your intelligence gathering capabilities."
Afterwards, Ibiki gave a lesson to the Genin, explaining in detail the importance of intelligence to ninjas.
Everyone then realized that in addition to one's own hard power, intelligence is also an important factor that can determine the outcome of a war.
"You have successfully passed the first level.I wish you all good luck in the next exam." Ibiki then gave everyone his blessing.
whoosh.
Just as everyone was cheering for finally passing this heart-pounding first level, a stone suddenly shattered the glass of the examination room, and then a female ninja wearing a mesh-patterned inner garment made a domineering appearance.
