Escape From Konoha

Seven or eight minutes passed again, and the classroom was completely silent, only the sound of candidates answering and writing, and the sound of invigilators recording cheating candidates in their notepads, other than that, there was no other noise. .

Some candidates began to perceive the true intention of this exam, because they thought they were elites, it was impossible for them to answer the questions above, so they could only rely on cheating to get the real answer.

In this examination room, there must be someone who can answer the questions, otherwise the so-called cheating will be meaningless.

So these candidates began to take action quietly.

There are also some candidates who are still staring at the questions on the test paper in confusion, trying to find ways to solve them.

But no matter how hard they scratch their heads, they can't rely on their own brain power to calculate the real answer.

Especially the sound of the clock's second hand moving makes these candidates feel even more upset.

As time passed by, their test papers did not move a single word, no matter how calm and calm they were usually, they began to feel agitated at this time.

Naruto was also one of them, lying on the table in despair with his head in his hands, with only the thought of 'It's over, it's over'.

Apart from this thought, my mind was blank.

Although Sasuke and Sakura had told him beforehand not to panic no matter what he encountered, he was confident in his promise at the time, but when the written test really started, Naruto found that he couldn't calm down.

Because he originally thought that no matter how difficult the test paper was, there should always be some points to give out questions. Just like the written test during the Ninja School, there will be a few basic questions that even an idiot can easily answer.

But it’s not on this test paper.

There were ten questions in total. Except for the last question with unknown meaning, the other nine questions were all very difficult and he couldn't do any of them.

Although he knew all the words, when combined together, it was like reading a heavenly book, and even the meaning of the examination became vague.

If this continues, he won't get a single point.

what to do? what to do? Want to cheat? Naruto began to think about this problem.

I can't do the questions myself, and I need to score points, so I can only rely on cheating to get points.

But, do I have the ability to cheat?

If you cheat more than five times, you will be eliminated, and with the ninjutsu you have learned, none of them can cheat perfectly.

With so many proctors staring at him, Naruto didn't feel like he had the ability to avoid the proctors' eyes.

When Naruto was in a dilemma, a soft voice suddenly came from his ears:

"Um...Naruto-kun, do you want to see my answer?"

It was like the sound of nature ringing in Naruto's ears.

Hearing this familiar soft voice, Naruto realized that the person sitting next to him was Hinata.

He knew Hinata. He remembered that when he was young, he seemed to have helped Hinata. Naruto couldn't remember exactly what happened.

However, because Hinata's personality is too introverted and quiet, and her voice is very subtle, when she was in school, she didn't have much sense of presence, and she was a girl who blushed very easily...

If anything, my relationship with her is that of a friend with whom I can talk.

Naruto turned his head slightly, and sure enough, he saw a blush on Hinata's fair skin. He was like a cute hamster curled up in a ball. His voice was pitifully small, as if the person who spoke just now was not her.

Naruto was very moved by Hinata's suggestion. In this extremely cruel 'battlefield', there were actually people who were willing to take the initiative to plagiarize answers for him. Others would definitely not be willing to do this.

If you look closely, Hinata is quite cute. Naruto thought to himself.

Then, he began to have wild thoughts, it would be great if Sakura could be like Hinata.

Unfortunately, this is all just fantasy.

With Sakura's personality, it would be absolutely impossible for her to take her eyes off Sasuke in a short period of time.

Thinking of this, Naruto couldn't help but sigh.

However, Naruto didn't last long for this kind of speculation. This is still during the Chunin exam period. The most important thing now is to find a way to pass the first exam.

Seeing that Hinata has taken the initiative to lean the test paper towards him, although it is not obvious, it is already within the maximum range. Next, he only needs to tilt his head a little to see the above answers.

Uh-huh!

Something flew past his eyes, and Naruto, who was about to turn his head away in fright, immediately stiffened and sat in his position.

A kunai accurately passed around the seats where he and Hinata were sitting, and was inserted diagonally in front of an unknown Konoha genin candidate, piercing the test paper as well.

"Ah! What are you doing?"

The examinee stood up and shouted angrily at an invigilator, but his face was very pale and he was obviously frightened by the sudden kunai.

"You have cheated more than the limit. Now you are disqualified from the exam. The same goes for your two teammates. Now get out."

The proctor said coldly.

The Konohashita Ninja candidate clenched his fists and looked unwilling, but in the end he didn't dare to do anything and chose to leave the examination room directly. His two teammates also stood up from their seats and stared at him with dissatisfaction and resentment. , and left the examination room together.

"No. 79 has cheated more than once and is now disqualified from the exam. No. 31 and 52 in the same group please also leave together."

Another invigilator announced loudly that the three candidates were sentenced to 'death' and left the examination room.

"No. 158 and 177 were disqualified from taking the exam, and the teammates of these two candidates were also disqualified."

"No. 23..."

"No. 261..."

This was not over yet. The cold and emotionless voices of judgment from the invigilators were heard one after another in the examination room and classroom.

One after another, candidates left the examination room with their heads down.

There were also those who resisted, but the invigilator directly showed his strong strength and beat the opponent to the ground, vomiting bitter water and wailing, and was finally dragged and thrown out of the examination room by the invigilator.

Seeing this scene, many candidates were frightened and dissatisfied with the violent behavior of the invigilators, but they had no choice but to endure it and did not dare to question it.

Gudong! Naruto swallowed hard, sweat dripping down his face.

It was as if he had foreseen the embarrassing situation in which he would also be thrown out of the examination room.

"Forget it, forget it, Hinata, I'd better do it myself."

Naruto replied quietly.

"Is it okay?"

Hinata looked worried.

"I can handle such a small matter by myself."

A confident smile appeared on Naruto's face, but it looked forced.

But there is no way, because the invigilator on the other side of the aisle is looking over with a smile, as if saying, "You have been targeted by me", and he is also holding a pen and writing on the noteboard. .

Every time the other person's pen made a sound, Naruto felt his heart beat hard.

Naruto had an intuition that if he looked at Hinata's test paper like this, he would definitely be discovered with his cheating ability.

Although being discovered is only a warning, you can see the question, which is a good deal no matter how you look at it.

But to get the complete answer to a question, how many times did he have to cheat to plagiarize it completely... This made Naruto unsure.

Even ninjas don't necessarily have photographic memory.

A complete answer to a question may require cheating several times before it is safe.

Intuition told Naruto that the process of answering the question might also be part of the 'answer'.

This is a written test during the ninja school period, and there are often unspoken rules. The Chuunin Exam is so important, so there must be such rules.

In this exam, answering a question incorrectly will mean deduction of points. If you don’t cheat or answer, you can protect your score.

This is the biggest role I can play in the team.

Try not to drag Sasuke and Sakura's hind legs.

Therefore, Naruto decided to give up the first nine questions and gamble that he could solve the last question.

◎

Has that Naruto guy given up? This is also good, save points become negative points. Seeing Naruto abandoning himself and scratching his head, Sasuke breathed a sigh of relief.

He looked at the ceiling, a very hidden mirror fixed on it, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

Because of this exam, now we not only have to face the question of how to plagiarize, but also how to know the person who plagiarized. The answer he wrote is correct.

If you plagiarize the wrong answer, not only will you not get points, but you may also turn your score into negative, which is directly equivalent to being eliminated.

Uchiha Asuka...this guy is really scary, he moves too fast. Sasuke secretly feared in his heart.

But at the same time, he was also vaguely excited. The stronger Asuka showed, the more motivated he was to challenge his opponent.

Especially since the opponent, like himself, is a ninja who has inherited the Uchiha bloodline, he really wants to know which one is stronger, himself or the opponent.

Therefore, the first test must be passed.

call out!

A black shadow flew up, and with a click, the mirror on the ceiling shattered. The fragments of the mirror scattered, making the candidates and invigilators who heard the movement couldn't help but look upward.

A shuriken was somehow inserted into the ceiling, leaving the candidates puzzled.

It's just a written test, how did you use the shuriken? This may be a doubt in the minds of many candidates.

The proctor just shook the pen in his hand twice, frowning, as if thinking about the rationality of Sasuke's behavior, and finally chose to ignore it.

Very good, this area is safe. Sasuke ignored it. He had no control over other areas, but here, he had to answer correctly.

If he could do the questions himself, he might choose the same approach as Feiniao and lower the scores of other candidates. But unfortunately, he couldn't do any of the above questions and had to rely on cheating to score points.

If the answer in this area is deliberately wrong by Asuka, then the problem will become very serious if he cannot answer the question by himself.

…

By opening his eyes, all the situations in the examination room can be seen at a glance, including the answers written by everyone on the paper.

For Neji, the first test was easy.

Even if someone has finished answering the questions, it is meaningless to cover the test paper to prevent others from copying.

Therefore, Neji quickly scanned the test paper covered by a genin from the Kingdom of Demons and wrote the most correct answer word for word on his own test paper.

In the following time, his eyes stayed for a while on a genin from the Kingdom of Demons with Byakugan, and he also saw the other person's name on the test paper - Chiba Aya.

Not only the Sharingan of Uchiha, but also the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan... In the Kingdom of Oni, what is going on with the genin of this country? Why do we have these two blood inheritance limits? Neji was filled with doubts.

In the education he received since childhood, whether it was the elders in the clan or the knowledge he learned in school, he was told that the Hyuga clan was an indispensable part of Konoha.

The white eyes are the proof of the identity of the Hyuga clan.

But the other party's surname is not Hinata... Could it be that there is a family called Chiba in the ninja world that also has the same Byakugan as the Hinata clan?

Or maybe the other person has the blood of the Hyuga clan flowing through him, but his surname is not Hyuga?

And the surname Chiba, if I remember correctly, the guy named Kabuto before the exam said that the Minister of Military Affairs of the Kingdom of Demons was named Chiba Shiraishi... Neji was thoughtful.

The two have the same surname, is it a father-son relationship? And the other party's mother is a ninja from the Hyuga clan?

This possibility seems to Neji to be the greatest.

…

——That guy Shiro finally made his move.

Sitting in his seat, Gui Deng Shuiyue grinned his fangs and thought to himself when he saw an ice mirror emerging on the table.

While showing a strange smile with unknown meaning, he picked up the pen and began to copy the answers shown on the ice mirror onto the scroll.

…

Listening to the voice.

The genin of the Otogakure village named Toss Anvil also began to copy the answers according to the sound of the handwriting sliding with a pen.

It's just that he didn't last in this state for a minute. There was a snap and the voice broke.

The harsh and sharp sound made his eardrums hurt.

He frowned and looked not far away.

There was only one person there, and all the candidates around him were eliminated because they failed to cheat.

As a result, a vacuum is created which makes people feel uncomfortable.

The other party's clothing is completely different from that of the ninja, because the other party is wearing a red and white miko uniform, which is incompatible with the overall environment of the examination room.

The jet-black waist-length hair is tied with a white hairband. Looking from this direction, you can only see the side of the other person's face.

She was about thirteen or fourteen years old, with fair skin, delicate facial features, and a dignified appearance. With her closed eyes in profile, she had a mysterious temperament that Toss Anvil couldn't explain.

The whole person is surrounded by a mysterious and silent atmosphere.

Seeing this image of the other party, Toss didn't know why, but he started to feel frightened, as if he was not facing a person, but a beast that was in a hungry state and was about to prey on its prey.

Miko...is she a ninja of the kingdom of ghosts? Before coming here, Lord Orochimaru said that we should be extra careful with the ninjas in this country, even genin! Toss recalled the warning of Orochimaru, the leader of Otogakure Village, and felt awe-inspiring.

Moreover, the candidates around her cheated and were kicked out of the examination room, and the vacuum formed after that might have her share of 'credit' in it.

After all, sabotaging one's own behavior of cheating and plagiarizing answers and making it more difficult for one's cheating are undoubtedly to cause trouble, with the intention of eliminating more people.

Unlike her calm and beautiful appearance, she has a terrifyingly aggressive personality.

The degree of danger is extremely high!

◎

One mirror was broken, one was covered in sand, and one was crawling with insects... In this way, there were seven mirrors that could not be used. Looking at the broken or covered mirrors on the ceiling, Asuka sighed inwardly.

Sure enough, even if he took action, there were still not a few capable genin.

In this way, the number of candidates that can be calculated will be smaller than Asuka imagined.

However, Feiniao couldn't be said to be disappointed in this kind of thing. This kind of behavior would be blocked by other capable candidates, which was also expected from the beginning.

So seeing this situation, Feiniao didn't panic too much. It didn't matter even if there were fewer candidates that could be eliminated, it wouldn't affect his subsequent arrangements.

After all, he is not the only one who is taking out the action of eliminating others. Aya and Xiang Rin, as well as some genin from the Kingdom of Demon with considerable strength, are also carrying out the elimination action.

Use tricks to make it more difficult for nearby candidates to cheat, and then let the invigilator notice it and deprive those candidates of their exam qualifications.

For Feiniao, the first exam not only tests the ability to cheat, but also has various hidden rules. For example, candidates attack each other and eliminate each other. It is also a way of exam. It is not just the proctor who has the power to eliminate candidates. Ability.

In other words, the real enemy that candidates have to face is never the invigilator, but the rest of the candidates.

I don't know how many people can notice this?

Lowering other people's scores is just one of the methods Feiniao uses.

While the genin candidates took action, time continued to pass.

Also lost with time are the candidates in the examination room.

Compared with the 297 candidates at the beginning, after such a long time, the number of candidates has continued to decrease at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Although the space in the classroom has become emptier as the number of people has decreased, the atmosphere has become more serious, and the difficulty of cheating has also increased.

If there are a large number of people, each invigilator will be responsible for monitoring about 10 candidates.

But now as the number of students decreases, the number of students each proctor has to monitor will also decrease, but the attention will continue to increase. Coupled with the reduction in the number of people, the spatial vision is wider, and even a small movement range will be accidentally noticed by the invigilators.

This is a very unfavorable environment for candidates who have not yet successfully answered the questions.

Beep——

Beep——

Suddenly, the ringing of the clock came from the podium in front. Some candidates woke up as if they had just woken up from a dream, as if they had not realized what had happened.

As the chief examiner, Yibixi stood up from his seat with a serious face, turned off the alarm on the podium, and then said to the candidates who stayed behind: "Okay, then stop the pens in your hands, and you are not allowed to answer any more questions. , if found, the qualification for the exam will be canceled immediately.”

As soon as Yibixi's voice fell, the examinees who were still writing and answering the questions immediately became depressed, but they did not disobey Yibixi's order. According to the previous behavior of the invigilators, if necessary, violent methods would be used to make the examinees 'conscious' 'Leave the examination room.

Therefore, they all took the initiative to put down their pens, even if they had not finished writing the answers to the questions.

"There are still fifteen minutes left. This is time for you to think about the tenth question. But before that, I want to ask you a question."

Yibixi looked calm, and his sharp eyes swept over the faces of the candidates.

"question?"

One of the candidates swallowed, and his intuition told him that the examiner from Konoha was trying to torture them again.

"That's right. This question is very simple, that is, you choose the next tenth question, whether to take it or not."

Ebixi said.

After he finished speaking, he stood there calmly, observing the reactions of the candidates.

Not only that, but the rest of the invigilators were also watching the candidates' reactions. They seemed to be looking forward to it, showing very wicked smiles and harboring malicious intentions.

"Well, your Excellency, examiner, what does this mean?"

One candidate stood up and summoned the courage to ask.

"Literally, for the next tenth question, you have two choices, take the test or not."

Ibiki continued to repeat these words.

"So what if I take the exam? So what if I don't take the exam?"

Sasuke, who was sitting in the front and center seat, frowned and asked, which was also a topic of concern to the other candidates.

Yibixi showed an interesting smile, and said: "If you choose not to take the exam, you will be disqualified from the exam right now, and you can continue to take the Chunin exam in the coming year. However, once you choose to continue the exam, you must give us the tenth question. Give a correct answer. If a candidate chooses to take the exam, the answer to question ten is wrong..."

He didn't say anything further, but the scarred face looked like a bloodthirsty monster no matter how you looked at it, making people shudder.

“What happens if you answer wrongly?”

Sasuke was not frightened by Ibiki's expression and asked calmly.

In his opinion, there was more to Ibixi's bluff.

"That means that this candidate will permanently lose the qualification to participate in the Chunin Examination!"

As soon as Ibixi's words came out, the candidates in the examination room were in an uproar, as if they were also frightened by the rule that Ibixi said.

"how so?"

"It's a lie, right? I'll be a ninja for the rest of my life..."

"How could our village agree to such an outrageous thing!? This must be a lie!"

"Yes, it must be to scare people!"

Dissatisfaction, anger, and voices of doubt arose one after another.

None of them believed that the rules set by Ibixi could be extended to their village.

But Ibixi calmly took out a document from his arms and continued in a calm tone:

"I'm sorry, this rule has been approved by Five Kages, and the military leader of Ghost Country also agreed to the rule I made, and six of them signed it. In other words, whether you agree or not It doesn’t matter, I don’t need your consent anyway. The ninja battlefield is not a child’s play, but a real battle of life and death!”

If you don't have firm faith, you will definitely die in the examination room during the second exam.

This can be regarded as the greatest compassion and tenderness he has given these young people.

Yibixi looked at these young, energetic and immature candidates and sighed in his heart.
