Chapter 18 Chunin Examination
"Really? Even Sakura is here." Kakashi looked at the four people and felt a little embarrassed. He didn't think much of Sakura, and it was unexpected that Sakura came. "This exam is for three people in a group."
"Eh?" Naruto looked at Kakashi, then at the four of them. "What about us?"
"Xiaorou, you stay here. The three of you go first," Kakashi said.
"Why! This is not fair to Xiaorou." Naruto puffed his cheeks angrily. "If she doesn't go, I won't go either. Kakashi-sensei clearly said that we are important partners."
Sakura lowered her head and suddenly understood what Kakashi had said before. "Teacher Kakashi, I still..."
"Don't worry, don't worry." Xiaorou patted Xiaoying's shoulder. "Since Mr. Kakashi gave all of us the application form, he will definitely not leave anyone behind, right, Mr. Kakashi?"
"Yeah, don't worry about Xiaorou." Kakashi held his forehead helplessly. "You three should do your best."
"Oh!" Naruto's energy was rekindled. "Xiaorou, you must do your best!"
"Yeah," Xiaorou nodded in response.
"You trust me so much?" Kakashi looked at Xiaorou
"It doesn't matter if we can't take the exam, it just makes Naruto and the others feel relieved." Xiaorou smiled, "It's also very exciting to play the pig and eat the tiger."
"It seems that my worry about you is unnecessary." Kakashi relaxed his worry about Xiaorou. "In fact, there doesn't have to be three people taking the exam. Three is the upper limit. There will be groups of three or single people taking the exam, but you have to know that it's difficult. Because there will always be times when teamwork is needed. With your strength, you can already be considered a leader. Before the three of them grow up, whoever you partner with will be a burden to you. I left you here just to remind you. The exam is dead, but people are alive. Under appropriate circumstances, conspiracy is also a kind of strength. Are you ready? When you push open this door and go in, you can only take this exam alone."
"Yes." Xiaorou pushed open the door of 301. The other newcomers of this year had already gathered at the door. "Ah, are you all here?"
"I see, all the newcomers this year have come to take the exam," said Inuzuka Kiba when he saw Xiaorou, the last one to push the door in.
"I'm more curious. We all participate in groups of three, but what's your name?" Nara Shikamaru looked at Xiaorou in confusion.
"Hinata Rou, I came to take the exam alone," Xiao Rou said
"Can you guys be quiet?" A man walked towards the group. "You're really lively. You're making a lot of noise here. This isn't a place to play."
"Who are you?" Nakayama Ino said unhappily.
"I'm Kabuto Yakushi, look around." A group of people looked at them covetously. Kabuto explained, "The people behind you are from the Hidden Rain Village. They are very impatient people. Be careful that others may cause trouble to you."
"I can't help it. After all, this is my first time here and it reminds me of my past self." Dou said as he looked at the others.
"Kabuto, really, is this your second time taking the Chunin Exam?" Sakura asked curiously.
"No, this is my seventh time. The exam is held twice a year, so this is my fourth year." Kabuto said
"Then you must know a lot about this test," Sakura said.
"But he still didn't pass." Shikamaru complained, "Is the Chunin Exam so difficult? Oh, it's getting more and more troublesome."
"As my dear juniors, let me provide you with some information." Kabuto took out a stack of cards. "This is all the exam information I have collected in the past four years. It looks like a blank sheet of paper. But if you inject chakra like I did, different words will appear."
"Do you have information about other people?" Sasuke asked.
"Yes, who are you looking for?" Dou looked at the boy.
"Rock Lee and Gaara" Sasuke looked at the magical card
"Found it." Kabuto took out two cards. "First, Rock Lee, a man who is very good at taijutsu, but the other two are very mediocre. The captain is Gai. His partners are Tenten and Neji. Rock Lee was a super powerful rookie last year, but he is taking the exam this year. And his partner, Hyuga Neji, is not an easy person to deal with."
"Gaara is a member of the Sand Village who has done B-rank missions. His strength is unknown, but it is rumored that he always completes the mission unscathed."
"Hey, hey." Xiaorou walked forward. "Do you have any information about Hinata Rou?"
Naruto wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Sasuke in time
"Let me look..." Dou flipped through the cards and saw only a name and a photo. The rest of the information was question marks. "...Well, Hinata Rou, from the name, you must be from the Hyuga clan. You have the ability of the Byakugan, right? Isn't this you?"
"I suddenly feel a little unconfident." Hyuga Hinata said nervously
"Well... to put it bluntly, these are just some things you can find out by asking around. No one knows our details." Xiaorou smiled with a sly smile in her eyes and hugged Hinata's shoulders, "Don't be nervous, Miss."
"Humph, that's good news at least." Sasuke smiled excitedly.
"My name is Uzumaki Naruto! I will never lose to you!" Naruto shouted excitedly. Pointing at the examinees in the examination room. "I feel good."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Sakura grabbed Naruto and beat him fiercely. The atmosphere around them became more and more solemn. "Everyone, he is joking. This guy is a fool and doesn't know his place. Please don't argue with him. If you keep talking nonsense, I will kick you away."
"Get out of the way." Xiaorou pulled Dou away, and Dou himself also felt something was wrong. He took a step back, and Dou dodged the opponent's fist. The next second, Dou's glasses broke. Three people stood in front of Dou. They were ninjas from the Hidden Sound Village. Dou knelt on the ground and spat out blood.
"You're lying. Kabuto clearly dodged it." Sakura said in disbelief.
"Write it on your little card. The three Genin of Otogakure will be promoted to Chunin." said the leading ninja
"Everyone, be quiet!" A bunch of ninjas of various types appeared on the stage. The man who spoke said seriously, "Sorry for the wait. I am the examiner of the first round of the Chunin Selection Exam, Morino Ibiki."
"You guys from Otogakure," Ibiki Morino pointed at them, "don't mess around before the exam. Do you want to be disqualified before you even take the exam?"
"Sorry, we might be a little excited since this is our first time taking the exam," said the man who led the group, Otogakure.
"Let me say this now. Without the instructor's permission, no fighting or quarreling is allowed under any circumstances. Even with the instructor's permission, no actions that could kill the opponent are allowed. Any fool who dares to disobey my orders will be disqualified from the exam immediately." Morino Ibiki stared at the group of people below.
"Now we will begin the first test. Submit your application here and receive your number plate. You will be given a trial test paper after completing the test according to the number."
"Will I take a written test?!!" Naruto opened his narrowed eyes dejectedly.
The seats were completely messed up. Xiaorou's position was neither good nor bad. As long as it wasn't a brain teaser, Xiaorou felt that it was completely fine. She looked at Naruto with some concern, then turned back to look at Hinata next to him and felt relieved.
"Now let me tell you the rules for the first exam. You are not allowed to ask questions during the exam. All candidates, listen carefully.
Article 1: Each of you will start with 10 points. There are 10 questions in total, and each question is worth 1 point. This exam uses a negative scoring system, where each wrong answer will deduct 1 point. For example, if you get three questions wrong, you will get 7 points.
The second rule is to determine whether a student has passed the test based on the total score of the three students in the team. In addition, since there is only one student taking the test, he or she must get 90% of the questions right to pass.
Article 3: If you cheat or engage in similar activities during the exam and are discovered by the invigilator, two points will be deducted each time.
That means that someone may have been kicked out of the exam room before the scores are given. Cheating is self-destructive. If one person in a team gets a zero, then all three members of the team will fail.
By the way, the last question will be announced 45 minutes after the exam starts and the exam time is one hour.
The exam begins"
"Not easy." Xiaorou looked at the questions and fell into deep thought. She herself couldn't get nine out of ten questions right, so she couldn't cheat. Xiaorou smiled slightly. "I see."
Finished. Xiaorou put down her pen and placed her hands flat on the table. Chakra slowly released along the wall and climbed up a thin line that could not be seen by the naked eye. Naruto was lying on the table when something suddenly touched his hand. Seeing the flash of blue chakra, Naruto did not dare to move.
"Now I will announce the tenth question. Let me announce the last rule of despair. First, you must choose whether to accept the tenth question. If you do not accept, then the exam will be zero points. The same applies to the two people in the same group. And there is another rule. Those who choose to accept but fail to answer correctly will never be eligible to participate in the Chunin Exam in the future. I set the rules this year. It's your bad luck. Those who lack confidence can choose to give up. Take the exam next year or the year after.
If you don’t accept it now, please raise your hand, leave your card number and you can leave.”
"What should I do? If I choose to stay, I will never be able to participate. If I give up, Sakura and Sasuke will definitely be eliminated. What should I do?" Naruto was silent, and suddenly a thread wrapped around his hand. The word "no" was written on the paper, surrounded by faint chakra. Naruto raised his hand and said, "I will never give up. Even if I can only be a Genin for the rest of my life. I am not afraid of you."
"I'll ask again, it's not too late to regret now." said Morino Ibiki
"I will never regret what I said. This is my ninja way." Naruto shouted
Humph, this funny guy has swept away all the anxiety of those people. Morino Ibiki said, "Now I declare that everyone here has passed the first exam."
"Wait a minute, what about the tenth question?" Sakura slammed the table and stood up.
"That question doesn't exist. The two-choice question is question 10." The instructor replied
"Then the ninth question is useless, right?" Temari was puzzled.
"How could that be? The first nine questions have already accomplished their purpose. They tested each of your intelligence gathering abilities. But this type of question is too difficult for you. So everyone will come to the conclusion that only by cheating can you score points. In other words, the purpose of the exam is to cheat." Morino Ibiki took off his hood, revealing his scarred head. "Often you have to risk your life to get intelligence."
"I ask you to remember this. If you have the wrong information, it will cause a devastating blow to your companions and the village. For this reason, we have no choice but to use cheating to test your ability to gather information."
"Those who dare not gamble their lives and pin their hopes on the uncertainty of next year are not qualified to become Chunin."
Xiaorou: "..." I stole a piece of thread. I was ready to tell him the answer directly.
Suddenly the glass shattered, and a large cloth covered the podium. "Now is not the time to be happy. I am the examiner of the second exam, Mitarashi Anko. Go take the second exam quickly."
"..." The whole audience was silent
"Detailed instructions will be given after you arrive at the examination room tomorrow. Please ask the teacher in charge for the examination time and location."
