Escape From Konoha

As Ibiki's words fell, the faces of the candidates who came to take the exam instantly became serious. According to the order given by Ibiki, starting from the nearest candidates, they stepped forward one by one to submit their Chunin Exam application forms, and then received a number plate.

The numbers are released randomly, which means that the original team formation will be disrupted. Of course, if you are lucky, you may also be lucky enough to sit together by drawing numbers.

But Asuka feels that this probability is too low, and if the genin of the Demon Country are spread out, it will be more beneficial to the next plan.

Everyone quietly stepped forward to receive their number plates. It was almost Asuka's turn. Aya came to Asuka and whispered something softly into his ear. Asuka calmly stepped forward and randomly picked up Asuka from the cardboard box in the hand of a Chuunin. Touched a number plate.

No. 278.

According to the seat distribution, the seat corresponding to this number plate is at the back of the 301 examination room classroom. You can have an overview of the whole situation from here.

After arriving at a seat in the second-to-last row and sitting down, Asuka sat quietly in his seat and waited.

Next was Cai. He chose the number 151 and sat down in the center seat of the examination room.

Didn't you stop Byakugan's 'cheating' behavior? It's really interesting. When Asuka saw Ibiki, as the examiner, neither affirming nor denying Cai Li's behavior of choosing the number plate with her eyes, but completely ignoring it, she felt that the first exam was becoming more and more interesting.

Rather, Ibiki, as the examiner, would be happy to see this kind of behavior.

Ninjas must be well prepared for any battle they face, and they must even flexibly use the surrounding environment to change conditions that are not conducive to them into conditions that are favorable to them. This is also an action that is considered 'legal' by default in the exam. .

Because the real exam has already started before the examiners arrive, not just now.

Not only them, but also some other smart genin had already taken action.

For example, the short genin in Sunagakure Village who I care about very much, who carries a gourd on his back, is called Gaara, I remember, and he has already taken action.

Arrange some sand around early and spread it out. I don’t know what it will do.

Feiniao didn't think that the sand was scattered randomly. It must have been prepared for some kind of 'skill'.

Therefore, you are not the only smart person.

This is also in line with the ninja's combat strategy and is tacitly allowed to happen.

It is simply impossible to eliminate such a guy in the first exam. Feiniao made this judgment in his heart.

His tactics can only eliminate those candidates who have not yet realized that the exam has begun.

On the contrary, for those genin who were preparing to take action before the examiners arrived, it would be too difficult to eliminate them, and their actions would also be full of loopholes, and the risks and rewards would be completely disproportionate.

Subconsciously, Asuka eliminated the plan against Gaara and began to observe the other genin, looking for 'prey' that could be hunted in advance.

At this moment, a voice came from the side. A girl about thirteen or fourteen years old came to sit next to him. Judging from the forehead protector she wore on her forehead, she was a ninja from the Kingdom of the Moon.

"Sorry, I dropped something, can you pick it up for me?"

Asuka spoke to this female genin from the Kingdom of the Moon.

"Eh?"

The female genin from Moon Country turned her head in shock and glanced into Asuka's eyes.

Then without saying anything, he bent down, picked up a kunai that appeared on the ground at some point, and put it into Asuka's hand.

"for you."

"Thanks."

Asuka took the kunai and thanked the female genin from the Kingdom of the Moon.

Then when others were not paying attention, he took out a Bingliang Pill from his pocket and took it.

Feeling the chakra rapidly recovering in his body and still rising, the light in Asuka's eyes became even more intense.

After taking this special military food pill brought from the Kingdom of Ghosts, not only did his chakra increase to a certain extent, but his recovery speed was also enhanced.

In this way, he would not worry about his insufficient supply of chakra in the next exam.

Although the body will fall into a period of weakness after the medicine takes effect, it will not damage the body's foundation. Feiniao can still afford this price.

Unfortunately, this kind of military food pills specially made by his father was very precious and rare. He only carried two pills on his body at the moment, just to cope with the first two exams.

In the third exam, you can get replenished when you return to the Kingdom of Ghosts.

After all, the Chuunin Exam only restricts those tools that are too obvious from outside. The recovery medicine that assists ninjas from the side, such as Hyōryōgan, and is always kept by ninjas, is not prohibited from use.

Therefore, some examiners did not take it seriously when they saw Feiniao taking Bingliang Pills, but instead encouraged it.

Because even if it is a written test, it does not mean that the process will be smooth sailing. It is also a very cruel battlefield.

To defeat the enemy in the most reasonable 'way', this is the battle of survival that ninjas face.

After all the candidates sat down in their seats, Ibiki coughed softly. The chunin from various countries standing behind Ibiki all understood and began to distribute test papers, scratch paper, and pens and erasers for answering questions. utensils.

The test paper was face up and face down, so Asuka couldn't see what questions were on the paper unless he looked at it with his white eyes.

"Don't be in a hurry to turn over the test paper yet."

Some genin were about to turn over the exam papers, but Ibiki immediately stopped this behavior.

The genin candidates turned their attention to Ibiki and heard him continue: "Before you start writing, let me explain the exam rules. In addition, I will explain these rules, but you are not allowed to speak out or question, otherwise you will get out immediately. If you leave the examination room, you will be disqualified from taking the examination."

Everyone's hearts trembled, and they were a little dissatisfied with Ibixi's somewhat unreasonable rules, but due to the identity of the other examiner, no one dared to question it.

If you speak out, you will be kicked out of the examination room and your qualifications will be cancelled.

With such strict rules, no one would dare to give it a try.

Seeing that the candidates were completely quiet, Yibixi nodded with satisfaction and said with a calm expression:

"Then I will start to explain. First of all, there will be ten questions on the test paper. Each question is worth one point. If you answer them all correctly, you will get ten points in total. If you answer incorrectly, you will be deducted points. one cent."

One point deducted?

There was a moment of astonishment on the faces of the candidates.

In other words, if one person answers correctly, they will get one point, but if the other person answers incorrectly, one point will be automatically deducted and become a negative number. The difference between the person who answered correctly and the person who answered correctly will be two points instead of one point.

This rule scares many candidates.

Because this disguisedly increases the difficulty of the exam for the candidates.

There is a negative scoring rule, which means that every question must be correct.

Once a question is wrong, the gap between the candidates who answered the question correctly will become wider and wider.

If you are selecting qualified candidates based on scores, then you must go all out to get it right.

"The second rule is to score based on the team. For a team of three people, the total score of the three members of the team will be taken."

Ibiki's subtext is that promotion must be carried out in a small team, and if one person is abandoned, it is likely to result in failure in the final exam.

"The third rule is that if candidates have strange behavior during the exam, which can be regarded as a means of cheating, for example, and are discovered by the invigilators, they will be given a warning. If such warnings exceed five times, they will be cancelled. Exam qualifications, leave the examination room.”

Five warnings... In other words, even if you cheat, you can only cheat five times. If you cheat for the sixth time, you will be directly disqualified.

The candidates looked at the number of invigilators on Ibixi's side and estimated that no one could escape from the eyes of so many invigilators.

Once you cheat, you will definitely be discovered.

Seeing that some candidates seemed a little dissatisfied, Ibiki smiled softly and said: "This is also for your sake. If you don't even have this awareness, then just stay in Genin for the rest of your life. The cheating methods of Genin will make you miserable." You are destroying yourself. If you want to pass the chunin exam, then show your true ability as a ninja. Any behavior you have must be like a great ninja. You cannot become a qualified ninja just by cheating. Chunin."

The harsh words were like a heavy hammer hitting the hearts of the candidates, and even the atmosphere in the classroom became unusual, like a real battlefield.

"There is one last rule, which is the qualifying score indicator. I believe this is the topic you are most concerned about. According to the second group score rule, the final score statistics are calculated based on the scores of the three members of the group, together with the remaining groups. Compete. The standards of competition are the business of our examiners... As candidates, you just need to get as high a score as possible."

Score competition.

However, as the examiner, Ibiki did not give specific standards, but digested them internally.

So is the distinction based on scores or the rankings generated by scores?

This is an unknown.

It is precisely because of the unknown that I feel confused and panicked.

Therefore, what Ibiki said is correct. As candidates, they just need to get as high a score as possible to ensure passing the test.

"By the way, there is another point in the fourth rule, that is, if the score of one person in the group is lower than the average score of all qualified candidates, the qualifications of the three people in the group for the second exam will also be disqualified."

The average score.

Another elimination rule.

The double elimination rule makes candidates feel even more stressed.

But no one dared to question Ibiki's words. They had experienced firsthand what the real Chunin Examination was.

And this is only the first and easiest test. It is so difficult that many candidates can't help but feel doubtful about their abilities.

Even if I pass the first exam by luck, can I still rely on luck to pass the remaining two exams?

While the candidates were at a loss, the chunin from various countries behind Ibiki had dispersed and sat on the seats in the aisles on both sides, holding noteboards and pens in their hands. They were either serious, lazy, or sneering. Sitting there, watching every move of the candidates.

A suffocating atmosphere was created in the classroom, making the candidates feel like they were trapped in a bottomless swamp and struggling to breathe.

"The exam lasts for one hour. Everyone, let's start answering the questions."

After Ibixi said this, he casually found a stool to sit down, closed his eyes and rested, paying no attention to the candidates.

There is an alarm clock on the desk next to it, and it starts counting.

Score as many points as you can, and then... keep the scores of the rest of the candidates as low as possible. From the rules Ibiki said, Asuka only had this idea in his mind.

Whether it is the total score competition or the second average score elimination rule, candidates are always required to get as high a score as possible.

Because the risk of a low score is too high.

It is true that no one chooses to answer the questions and all get zero points. In theory, this is also a way to pass the level and a loophole in the rules.

But this is impossible to achieve.

As long as one person breaks the tacit understanding, the others will become passive along with them.

What's more, he was not the only one who wanted to eliminate others. As a genin with mobility, he definitely hoped that there would be fewer and fewer competitors in the second exam.

Opening the front of the test paper, Feiniao casually glanced at the questions. The answer to the question had been calculated. Even if it had not been calculated, the process had begun to be conceived in Feiniao's mind.

Only the tenth question surprised Asuka.

The tenth question is very strange. It does not require thinking and calculation now, and the purpose of the question is not clear.

——This question will be asked in forty-five minutes. Please choose your answer carefully after understanding the questions asked by the examiner.

This is the title of question ten.

Asuka simply ignored him, as the form of the question would be announced in forty-five minutes.

As for the remaining nine questions, they are not difficult for me.

But Asuka can be sure that this is definitely not a question that genin with very little knowledge can solve.

And most ninjas are good at fighting, not solving problems.

This exam simply forces the candidates to cheat to score points and pass the test in a 'cheating' way worthy of their status as ninjas.

Because your dirty cheating skills will be seen through, you will be warned five times and will be disqualified from the exam on the sixth time.

The average score elimination rule is easy to see through. But the total score competition...is the qualified candidate selected based on a certain score or ranking? While Asuka was struggling with this point, he picked up the pen and started answering the questions on the test paper.

And because he was the first person to answer the question, and the atmosphere in the examination room was very quiet, the sound of writing was quickly transmitted through the writing.

Many people peeked over and looked at the flying bird with surprise or unwillingness.

Because while they were still thinking about how to answer the question, the other party had already started writing.

That calm and unruffled look clearly showed that he was confident in answering the questions, rather than writing indiscriminately.

At this moment, the female genin from the Kingdom of Moon next to her peeked at Asuka's test paper with a hidden gesture.

Then Asuka heard the sound. The Chuunin proctor sitting on the chair in the aisle was writing something on the noteboard with a pen.

The female genin from the Kingdom of the Moon seemed not to notice. She took out a steel wire, a small mirror, and a bottle of potion from her pocket, and started to move cautiously.

There was no movement on the proctor's note board.

Is it a legal way to cheat? Asuka didn't hear the Chunin proctor's writing and thought a little.

No, that's not certain yet.

Then the female genin of Moon Country applied the potion on the mirror, and the mirror disappeared out of thin air, as if it had merged with the air.

Immediately there was a pulling sound. The sound came and disappeared quickly, and many people did not notice it.

Asuka felt relieved when he saw that the Chuunin examiners in the aisles on both sides still didn't make any move.

While answering the questions with his right hand, he condensed it on the index finger of his left hand and traced it on the blank space of the desk, leaving traces of chakra on it.

Ai, who was sitting in the center of the examination room, clearly saw the chakra marks drawn with her fingers with her Byakugan.

The traces of chakra are connected together to form recognizable fonts.

——No problem, you can prepare.

Cai saw this signal and sat quietly in his position, moving quietly.

The same goes for Xianglin, who is sitting at the front of the examination room.

Her perception ninjutsu clearly sensed the chakra traces left by Asuka on the desk. Although it could not be visually observed with the Byakugan, she could also present the fonts in her mind based on the shape of the chakra traces.

So, she extended her chakra and came into contact with the chakra of the other genin of the Demon Country.

At this time, at Asuka's signal, the female genin from Moon Country stood up suddenly from her seat. The movement when she stood up was a bit loud, attracting the attention of some invigilators and candidates.

"What's your business?"

asked an invigilator.

"Sorry, I just need to go to the toilet."

The female genin from Moon Country answered calmly.

The proctor on the other side was a woman. She stood up, put down her clipboard, and said, "Okay, I'll go with you."

The female genin from the Kingdom of the Moon didn't pay attention and walked out of the examination room. The female proctor followed closely behind to prevent the other party from making any small moves.

About five minutes later, the two returned.

Except for the tenth question on the Asuka test paper, the answers have already been written. These answers will pass through Sai, then flow to Xiang Rin, and then be passed to the other genin candidates in the Kingdom of Demon.

After the female genin from Moon Country returned, she sat there quietly.

The female invigilator who came back also sat quietly on her chair, with only the scarlet color in her eyes passing away.

When Asuka was about to consider what to do next, Ibiki, who had been in front of the examination room, suddenly stood up from his seat, walked to the female invigilator, patted her on the shoulder, and then walked back along the same path. .

The female invigilator was startled, and she realized something in an instant, with a look of shame on her face, and then she held the noteboard seriously and said nothing, very professionally.

There was no disclosure...but the invigilator was not allowed to assist the candidates. Asuka realized this problem and sighed inwardly.

No matter how many ideas I had, I gave up with the birth of this unspoken rule.

Because many of his techniques are too risky, only after using the Sharingan to control the examiner can he use them with confidence and avoid being warned.

It's just that Ibiki's actions told him that some rules cannot be broken.

Or maybe... it was because his illusion was broken by the examiner that he became like this.

If Ibiki is controlled, does it mean that the entire exam can be developed according to his ideas?

Although this idea was worth a try, Asuka thought about it and realized it was too unrealistic.

Ibiki is a Jonin, and he seems to know the Sharingan very well. No matter from which point of view, the opponent cannot be easily controlled by the Sharingan.

Moreover, the chakra required to control a Jonin consumes too much, which puts a huge load on his body.

The gain outweighs the loss.

Feiniao turned the pen in his hand out of boredom, but his eyes were always watching every move around him, especially the movements of the examiners.

Nearly six or seven minutes have passed since the opening. Except for the time when the female genin from Moon Country 'cheated', which was recorded on the note board, there has not been another honorable mention on the list.

Because besides him, no other person has completed the questions in the test paper.

After Cai and others got the answers, they did not act immediately, but waited for "action" before answering the questions. After all, there was still plenty of time and there was no need to write the questions so early.

At this moment, a buzzing sound came over. The amplitude of the sound transmission was very small. If you didn't listen carefully, you might even think it was an illusion.

Snapped!

Asuka stretched out his palm and squeezed it gently in front of him.

The air around him became quiet.

There was a crushed black insect corpse on his finger.

When pinching the bug, Asuka's fingers were coated with chakra to prevent the bug from becoming poisonous.

Is this the insect manipulation technique of the Aburame clan? It was the first time I saw the real thing. Feiniao flicked the insect corpse off his finger, scanned the crowd with sharp eyes, and quickly discovered the opponent's location.

Wearing a windbreaker, you can only see the back, not the front.

But Asuka knew this person. At the beginning of the examination room, there was this person among the Konoha genin who talked with Uzumaki Naruto and others.

Remember... what's the other person's name?

Asuka tilted her head slightly, unable to remember the name of this genin from the Aburame clan.

But it was really interesting to put the idea on his head.

Asuka continued to observe its surroundings.

The sound of handwriting began to be heard, and someone else began to answer questions.

And as the sound of handwriting began, the noteboards in the hands of the invigilators began to work like machines.

Finally started? Feiniao knew that at this time, the battle in the examination room had truly begun.

As the number of test takers increases, more and more candidates will use various methods to 'cheat', and the battle will become more fierce.

Looking at the mirrors hidden and hung on the ceiling of the classroom by the genin of the Demon Country, Asuka revealed a smile.

The mirrors he distributed were not ordinary mirrors, but special mirrors that could reflect even chakra, and would have a certain amplification effect on illusions, reducing the pressure on the practitioner to perform visual illusions.

Because of his lack of hard power, Asuka made many props in advance that would benefit his Sharingan for this exam, making it easier to use during the exam.

He doesn't have the excellent ninja talent like Sai, nor does he have the naturally powerful tailed beast-level chakra like Ichiki, who can defeat his enemies with pure violence. If he wants to defeat various powerful enemies, he can only rely on this external force to act.

It is also his unique fighting style.

After all, knowledge is also a 'weapon' in his hands.

As a result, red eyes appeared on the mirror hanging from the ceiling, emitting a mysterious light and began to hunt.
