People In Konoha, Anbe Tortured Ninjas For Ten Years!

"People in Konoha, Anbe tortured ninjas for ten years! (

"Aoba, look at the three ninjas from Iwakura Village over there. After Kaede Uchiha came out, they all looked at Kaede Uchiha." Saaki Nara whispered from the side, her eyes With a solemn look, he became more cautious, knowing that the Zhongnin exam was not so easy anymore.

"Kaede Uchiha?"

Aoba silently repeated the name, and then began to search for it in the memory of the Uchiha world. He had never heard of this name before, and it did not appear in the follow-up history of the Uchiha clan. The night disappeared in the long river of history together.

Aoha hasn't waited for the name to be found in Uchiha's memory.

Saki Nara explained.

"Kaede Uchiha is a graduate of the Ninja School this year. I heard that he would not come to take the Ninja exam. I don't know why he came again suddenly. It may be because of the arrival of the Ninja from Iwagakura Village!" Nara Saki explained. road.

"It turned out to be like this." Aoba nodded. He said why he didn't see it in Uchiha world's memory, because Uchiha Kaede was a student at the Ninja School, and spent most of the time in the Ninja School. The Uchiha world has always been in the Security Department, and there is almost no intersection between the two sides.

Therefore.

In the memory of the Uchiha world, there is still a lot of information about the Uchiha Security Department, and the memory of the Ninja School is not very rich.

So even if Uchiha Kaede is a member of the Uchiha clan.

As Uchiha Kaede walked in, it could be said that it attracted the attention of everyone in the audience, but it failed to attract Qingyu's attention.

"Why don't you care at all? Kaede Uchiha is the hottest spot in this year's Chunin exam. From the moment he signed up, it has caused the sorrow of the candidates for the Chunin exam." Nara Saaki Very gossip, because she cares about the Zhongnin exams this year, so she knows this kind of things quite clearly.

"I do not know him."

Aoba said lightly, he glanced at Nara Saxi suspiciously, and suddenly felt that this girl had lost her original calmness, but had become like a star-chaser girl, and had begun to become less logical.

"You have to know what opponent we are facing!" Nara Saki curled her lips, then turned her head away, without saying anything, and again turned her gaze to the front of the Ninja School classroom, where Uchiha Kaede is now gone. Come in, start looking around the classroom, looking for a seat to sit down.

"I have guessed it."

Aoba looked at Uchiha Kaede, and watched the latter's clothes slamming into the sky. He looked like another "Sasuke", but he should be far behind Sasuke in terms of talent.

Qiu Daoling's sight has been moving with the two of them.

I'll look at the ninjas in Iwakura Village for a while.

Take a look at the imposing Uchiha Kaede who walked in.

But she didn't say anything.

Just watch it so quietly.

"Roar!"

However, at this moment, another exclaimed voice sounded. This time, the voice was much stronger than that of Uchiha Kaede who was just here.

Huh!

Countless eyes in the classroom of the Ninja School looked at the people who walked in the door.

This is a small team.

The person walking in the front was dressed in a white robe, and his black hair was scattered randomly behind him like a waterfall. The forehead of Konoha Village just blocked his head, making him exude this elegant feeling.

this person.

Qing Yu just glanced at it.

I knew it was a member of the Hyuga clan.

Not only the dressing style of the white robe on his body, but also the white-looking eyes, have already demonstrated this person's identity.

but……

This person should be the person who separates the family.

After all, the Zong family still belongs to Hyuga Nizu.

"Wow!"

"Even he is here!"

"How come I don't know!"

"It's so handsome!"

Nara Saki's eyes have appeared one by one little stars. She seems to be a fan of the celebrity, and she can't wait to rush to ask for some autographs for these hardworking brothers.

"..."

When Aoba heard what Nara Saaki said, he was speechless for a while, and his face was full of black lines, and he secretly said in his heart that this person's resistance is too weak.

The Uchiha clan does not seem to have Sasuke handsome yet, and the Hyuga clan does not have Ning Jishuai, how could he get so excited.

but.

Qing Yu thinks about it carefully.

Just want to understand.

The times are different!

At this time, the village is still in the development stage of gathering together, and the third Ninja War is going on in full swing, but the flames of the war have not spread to Konoha Village for a short time.

At this time, people are just sneaking in, and there are not many opportunities to meet handsome guys. Unlike in the later days, there has been no war in Konoha Village for a long time. People have become contacted by more incidents. Together.

The more busy it is.

The more weird ideas.

This is also normal.

Qingyu didn't take the Hyuga clan who walked in too seriously.

"Aoba, we have to be careful of this person. He is a member of the Hyuga clan. The Hyuga clan does not enter the ninja school, so no one knows his strength. There is no such person on the original registration form. I guess he is because Kaede Uchiha came to take the Nakanin exam, so I came here!" Nara Saki said in a low voice.

"Don't the Hyuga Clan enter the Ninja School?" Qing Yu was taken aback. This was in his blind spot. He had never heard of such a thing before.

"Don't you know?" Nara Saki stunned, glanced at Qing Yu in surprise, and then said helplessly: "This is a matter of common sense. The Hyuga clan is specially approved and can train forbearance by themselves. No need. The families who go to the ninja school have the qualifications to certify Shimonin, and the ninjas of the family only learn the skills of the family. Therefore, only they know the strength of Shimonin in the Hyuga clan, and others do not know."

"It's so!"

Qing Yu said with emotion, he had never heard of such things before, and had surpassed the things he knew before, but he didn’t care too much. After all, he had more than It can be said that he has known more and more things before.

"Are the Uchiha clan and the Hyuga clan?"

The corners of Aoha's mouth curled up slightly, and he suddenly felt that this year's Zhongnin exam seemed not as boring as Uchiha Tomitake said, and there were still many things to watch.

"Do you know the name of this ninja of the Hyuga clan?" Aoba turned his head and asked Nara Saki next to him.

"I thought you didn't care!"

Nara Saki's face showed a sly look. She didn't say the person's name on purpose just now, just to see if Aoba really didn't care at all.

Now it seems……

Still quite insincere!

"His name is Hyuga Hanado!"

Nara Saaki said slowly, and directly said the name of the boy of the Hyuga clan.

"Hyuga Flower Road."

Qing Yu repeated it silently, and remembered the two so-called two most popular beings in this Zhongnin exam.

Maple Uchiha of the Uchiha clan.

The Hyuga Flower Road of the Hyuga clan.

It seems rather hostile.

With the passage of time, everyone who took the Ninja test began to come in one after another, which made the originally small Ninja school classrooms become more crowded.

More and more people.

There are more and more discussions.

In addition to the ninjas of Konoha Village, there are only two teams of Iwakura Village ninjas.

thus.

These two teams were easily caught in the eyes of everyone.

Become the object of everyone's attention.

certainly.

It is not only the two ninja teams from Iwagaku Village that have been noticed, but even Aoba and the others are the focus of attention. After all, the names of Nara Saaki and Akudo Rei are in the ears of Shinobu. In, it can be regarded as a familiar existence.

It's just that almost everyone here doesn't know Qing Yu.

In addition, many of them have been found by Nara Kajiu. Instinctively, Aoba was the one who was dragged down by them. Therefore, they paid much attention to Nara Saki’s team, but they didn’t. Not particularly concerned.

Some time passed.

The sound of footsteps sounded outside the door, clearly reaching the ears of everyone in the classroom.

The number of these footsteps is dense.

There seems to be a lot of people.

In an instant, the voices of the candidates waiting in the classroom were lowered a lot, and everyone began to quiet down a little bit.

Creak--

At this moment, with the sound of a door pushing, the door of the Ninja School classroom was pushed open.

A group of figures walked in to meet everyone's gaze.

Walking in the forefront is Nara Shikahisa wearing a Konoha Village ninja costume.

At this moment.

Nara Shikahisa's expression was very serious, and it seemed to give people a sense of majesty. This kind of feeling was not felt in his body before, and it can be said to be very serious and serious.

Ta Ta Ta Ta Ta...

Behind Nara Kajiu was a ninja wearing Konoha Village ninja costumes, each with a different expression on his face.

It can be seen.

These people are from the proctoring team.

"Quiet!"

Nara Lukisa faintly said, following his words, no one in the audience said anything. After all, they had almost heard about it before. The chief examiner of the Nara test is the one standing in front of the Nara Lukisa. .

Suddenly.

The entire Ninja School classroom became extremely quiet.

Nara Shikajiu seemed to enjoy this feeling very much. He nodded, his gaze swept across the crowd, and finally when he focused on Nara Saaki, he nodded without a trace. When he saw Aoba again, his eyes were in his eyes. A ruthless color flashed.

"Introduce yourself."

After Nara Luji's eyes swept over the crowd, he slowly retracted it, looking like a strong aura pressure. After all, his own ninja level is higher than that of Xiajin, and much older. And there is the blessing of the identity of the chief examiner.

"I am the chief examiner of your Zhongnin exam!"

"Presumably many of you know me!"

"My name is Nara Shikuhisa!"

"Now we are about to start the first test of Zhongnin!"

"I need you to give me the indication sheet in your hand in order, and then we will issue you a number plate, and you will take the number plate to your corresponding examination room seat!"

"Because of the large number of people who signed up for the Chunin test this time, you will be divided into three classrooms!"

"Who is sitting in each classroom?"

"Where to sit?"

"All are random!"

"In theory..."

"You guys in a small team may have three people in the same classroom, or three people in different classrooms!"

"Do you understand what I mean?!"

Nara Shikahisa directly began to say the rules of the first test of Zhongnin, and when he said this, the audience became silent.

Such a thing.

It was completely beyond their expectation.

If they are in different classrooms, then the connection between each other can be said to be completely cut off.

"clear!"

A ninja who looked honest in the crowd immediately said loudly, in line with Nara Shikahisa's words.

Suddenly.

Several candidates have stood up.

They are holding their own registration form, and they already intend to hand it in.

"Don't move yet!"

suddenly.

Nara Lukisa's voice sounded again.

After his words came out, the candidates who had just stood up and were about to hand in the registration form immediately sat down again, and everyone seemed very quiet.

"I haven't finished speaking yet!"

Nara Lu's awe-inspiring voice sounded, and his tone revealed an unquestionable determination, so that everyone who heard it could feel a sense of solemnity and solemnity, and immediately turned their attention and refocused. On Nara Lukisa's body.

"I have a few very important rules to say about this Zhongnin exam..."

Nara Shikajiu took two steps forward, took a piece of chalk from the table, and turned his head to write on the blackboard.

Da Da Da Da...

The sound of the friction between the chalk and the blackboard clearly spread to everyone's ears, constantly reminding everyone that it is now the part of the Zhongnin exam.

Da Da Da Da Da...

After Nara Shiji wrote on the blackboard for a few minutes, a text appeared in the eyes of everyone.

"I have written all the precautions on the blackboard, so that you can read and remember. You are the rules of your exam!"

Nara Shikaji raised his right hand and tapped towards the blackboard, indicating what he was talking about.

"The first point!"

"The first round of the Zhongnin exam that you are going to take is a written exam!"

"Everyone has to answer questions on their own test papers!"

"The score of the test paper will determine your score in the first test!"

"This result is the only basis for your elimination or promotion!"

After Nara Shikamaru's hand pointed at the first point, he didn't care about the expressions of the candidates below, and began to introduce it back.

"Second point!"

"This test uses a deduction system!"

"Each of you has 10 points."

"There are a total of 10 questions on the test paper."

"1 wrong question, 1 point deducted!"

"The final score is based on the total score of the three members of the team!"

When Nara Lujiu introduced here, the faces of almost all the candidates had changed slightly. They had never known such test rules before.

Many of them have asked their parents or seniors.

But no one said.

after all……

There is one sentence in their registration form.

The content of the Chunin test is not allowed to be leaked out.

"It's actually a demerit system, but what's the difference between this and the scoring system? Isn't it all wrong and there will be no points?" Nara Saaki muttered suspiciously.

"That's not the case!" Qing Yu shook his head and said in a low voice: "The deduction system means that before we don't answer the question, everyone gets full marks, and points are deducted only if we answer the wrong question. In other words, if we don't answer the question, it will No points will be deducted."

"Isn't it wrong not to answer the question?" Nara Saaki asked in a daze. She faintly felt that there was a pitfall in it, but he didn't know exactly what went wrong.

"Don't worry about answering the question for a while. If you can't, then don't answer it. As long as you don't answer the wrong answer, you still have a chance. And there is one more point. road.

"Well, good!" Nara Saxi nodded. When she listened to Qingyu's words, her eyes were fixed on Qingyu. She faintly felt that Qingyu was very experienced, but the other party was clearly the same as her. People who have not taken the Zhongnin exam.

Qing Yu quietly looked at the text on the blackboard, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart. The exams in this ninja school are almost the same every year, and we don't want to change it.

But these people's spoiler prevention skills are also quite strong.

Frozen is to provide a very strong confidentiality mechanism for those who participated in the Zhongnin exam, so that they still have a sense of seeing everything is fresh when they take part.

"There is one last point!"

Nara Lukuhisa's voice sounded again, his voice was very loud and clear to everyone's ears, once again quieting the candidates who had already begun to discuss, and looking at Nara Lukuhisa's body one by one.

"The third point!"

"If you behave improperly during the exam!"

"Like cheating!"

"Or...we identified as cheating!"

"So as long as it is found by the invigilator once, you will be deducted 2 points, which is equivalent to 2 questions for you to do for nothing!"

"Once all of your 10 points are deducted..."

"This also means that even if you do all the questions on the paper correctly, then it is 0 points!"

"That's it!"

"You will be expelled from the examination room!"

Nara Lukisa's voice resounded clearly throughout the audience, making everyone in the classroom able to hear it clearly.

All of a sudden.

Everyone's complexion changed drastically.

Everyone looks nervous.

They have already felt the atmosphere of the Zhongnin exam between these few sentences. It is indeed completely different from the usual exams, and they can completely go out and step to another level.

"Aoba, I understand why it's a deduction system!" Nara Saki suddenly stared, with wise eyes flashing in her eyes, she said very confidently: "This way, we can deal with us when we cheat. Points are deducted. Only if we cheat 5 times, then the papers don’t need to be read at all, and we can be expelled from the field!"

"So if we can't cheat, then I definitely won't do the questions on those test papers!" Qiu Daoling said distressedly. She has almost no way to deal with these theoretical questions, and she is not in her area of ​​expertise.

"It's fine as long as you don't get caught!" Nara Saki said slyly, her reaction can be said to be very fast, and the bug in the exam was instantly discovered.

"Is this okay?" Qiu Daoring was stunned for a moment. She felt a little problematic in her heart, but instinctively she was more willing to believe in Nara Saaki.

"Of course you can, you think, if you don't cheat, how did Dingzuo pass the Zhongnin exam? You don't really think that Dingzuo will do these questions?" Nara Saaki said with a smile, and she directly Take the analogy of Qiu Dao Ding Zuo, and present this result to Qiu Daoling more intuitively.

"That's right!" Qiu Daoling's eyes lit up, she put the big rock hanging in her heart directly into her belly, and nodded and said, "Big Brother Dingzuo can pass, then I can definitely pass!"

Qing Yu silently listened to the content of the two people's chat. There was nothing wrong with the words of the two people, but...

I don't know how Ding Zuo Qiu Dao would react if he heard it.

Ding Zuo: Are you polite? !

Qing Yu thought silently in her heart. It turned out that Qiu Dao Ding Zuo had such an image in the hearts of these younger sisters, so there was nothing more to say.

When you don’t know how to cheer them up in the future, you can say, look at your big brother Ding, he can do it, how about you?

This is more powerful than a **** fight!

Snapped! Snapped! Snapped!

suddenly.

Just at this time.

Nara Lukaku patted the blackboard heavily, attracting everyone's attention.

"I will emphasize it one last time!"

"If there is botched cheating among you!"

"Then you will be eliminated!"

"If you want to pass the Ninja test and become a Ninja, then let me be like a real ninja!"

"Do you understand?"

Nara Lujiu's voice echoed in the classroom, suddenly bringing a kind of chicken blood effect, instantly igniting the ready-made candidates.

"Understood!"

The crowd roared loudly, as if they were using the volume to express their determination. Everyone's eyes flashed with eager eyes, and they couldn't wait to take the Zhongren exam.

"Qingyu, did you hear clearly? To cheat like a ninja, you can't cheat too simply. If we are not in an examination room, you can only rely on yourself. We must not fall into the first test of the Zhongnin exam. Do you understand?" Nara Saxi repeatedly urged Aoba, her reaction was quite quick, and after Nara Kazuo finished saying this for a long time, she immediately attracted the attention of Akiu Daorei next to her.

"What do you mean?" Qiu Daoling said confusedly.

"Ling, to be honest, I am not worried about Qingyu, I am even more worried about you. If you can be in the same classroom with any of us, then you can just wait for us, but if you are in a In the classroom, just like Aoba said, you don’t have to do a single question, and don’t cheat. As long as you don’t deduct points, you get 10 points!" Nara Saki told Qiu Daorei, she also didn’t know, all the questions If you don't answer, will it be counted as all wrong, but she can't help it. The biggest surprise now is whether they are in the same classroom.

"I think we'd better prepare three people in three different classrooms!" Qing Yu said suddenly.

"No, let's not have such bad luck?" Nara Saaki said helplessly, spreading her hands.

"If it's pure luck, I don't think we should be like this, but it's not a question of luck. Do you think your brother Lujiu will let us pass the first round of Zhongnin exam so easily?" Qingyu's mouth corners Slightly tilted up, he was almost certain that Nara Lukisa would definitely find a way to separate them into three different classrooms.

"Then we are all over!" Qiu Daoling said immediately.

"Yeah! If we are in three different classrooms! Then we can only take care of ourselves! That is too difficult!" Nara Saaki sighed helplessly. After Aoba's words, she had already believed that it was a deer. What Brother Jiu can do is not a surprise to her at all. After all, Brother Lu Jiu can even find someone to deliberately hold back things.

"Hold this and place it on your chest and heart." Qing Yu took out two pieces of paper directly from the ninja bag, on the paper there was a strange technique that neither of them could understand.

"What is this?" Nara Saaki took the paper that Aoba handed over, and immediately asked aloud, with doubts flashing in her eyes, she no longer knew what was going on, but she Faintly felt that Qing Yu seemed to have something to do.

"??" Qiu Daoling also took the paper that Qing Yu handed over with a question mark on her face. She looked at the technique on the paper, she couldn't see anything at all, it could be said to be like a ghost painting.

"These two pieces of paper are sealed with the mind and body technique of our mountain people. As long as I can find the answer, I can activate the seal, apply the mind and body technique on you, and pass the test questions I answered to You, so you can write the answer on it." Qing Yu said slowly.

"Aoba, are you sure you're talking about the technique of passing on from the mind to the body, not the technique of turning the mind?" Nara Saki asked suspiciously, her eyes widened. She knew that there was only one word difference between the two techniques. , But the actual effect is much worse.

The technique of heart-to-body transmission is to transfer a specific piece of information into the minds of others, which can have the effect of transmitting information. It is indeed more suitable here, but it is too difficult to use and the requirements are very demanding, which makes Nara Sae Xi is a little skeptical.

As for the technique of turning the mind, it is much easier. Most people in the mountain clan know it. It is a technique that can inject mental power into the body of another person and temporarily control the body of another person. In fact, this technique can also be used in the Zhongnin exam. To use, just control them to answer the questions.

"I'm sure it's the heart-to-body technique, so you need to answer the questions yourself. I don't want to enter other people's bodies casually, especially girls. It's not very polite." Aoba said to Nara Saki in a serious manner.

"what?!"

After Nara Saki heard Aoba's words, she faintly felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't tell what was wrong, so she simply assumed that she had never heard the words.

"You just put the paper in place."

Qing Yu faintly exhorted, after he said that just now, he silently reviewed it in his heart.

Something's wrong!

This is wrong!

Not a gentleman at all!

All blame Uchiha Fudake!

It must be because I read too many books written by Fu Yue recently, and he has deviated himself. He was not such a person before!

Um……

That's it!

Qing Yu felt that he had found the reason, he could not say such a thing before.

after all……

What about entering the girl's body!

It's not that you haven't said hello beforehand!

And this is what you want, Qing Yu did not forcefully suppress the other's mental power to enter!

Besides...

Even if Qingyu did this, her movements would be gentle, and would protect them from harm.

...

"You guys are almost talking about it!"

At this moment, Nara Luji's voice sounded again, clearly spreading to everyone's ears, once again drawing the attention of the examinees in the classroom back to him.

"I emphasize it again!"

"At the end of this exam!"

"If someone scores 0 points..."

"Then everyone in his group will lose the qualification for the exam together!"

Nara Shikajiu said this.

The audience was in an uproar!

The discussion sounded again, and it was even more intense than before!

"Qing Yu, I am almost certain that the three of us will be divided into three classrooms and will be given special care. So as long as one of the three of us scores 0, then we will be eliminated collectively! "Saki Nara seems to have seen through Nara Lukisa's routine.

All of a sudden.

Nara Saki once again thought of Nara Shikahisa's desire to find someone to hold her back.

That's not too easy!

As long as they deliberately cheated during the exam in City One, and then were found five times in a row, and failed in the final exam, then their entire team could be dragged down.

"According to the plan, if you don't have a chance, just wait for the information from me."

Qing Yu said lightly.

He didn't care about the so-called Zhongnin exam at all.

He didn't want to be Zhong Ren at all.

If there was no such nonsense that Nara Lu ran over for a long time, he would just lie down in this scene.

After all, the Zhongnin exam is just a cutscene for him!

It's enough to meet the requirements of Morino Eaton!

But……

It is precisely because of Nara Lukisa's words that make him very uncomfortable that he does not want to follow Nara Lukisa's arrangements!

Aoba raised his eyes and stared at Nara Lukisa on the podium, with an imperceptible arc slightly curled up at the corner of his mouth.

"You want me to hold back the two of them, then if I lose, wouldn't I agree to your idea, so I'm so shameless, I can fail the Zhongnin exam, but the two of them must not fall in front Two rounds, this is my response to you!"

Qing Yu muttered to herself silently in her heart.

The clay figurines still have three points of anger!

He was found by Nara Lu for a long time three times, and his heart was completely irritated, and he was extremely bored. The whole person was already extremely upset.

"I see!"

Nara Saki nodded. At this time, she had no choice but to trust Aoba.

After all, this Zhongnin exam is not a fair test for her. Her opponent is not only the other candidates sitting here, but also the one standing on the podium in charge of this Zhongnin exam, Lujiu. Big brother.

This kind of continuous sitting system.

Let her believe that it was Big Brother Lu Jiu who came out to punish her!

After all, she was able to control herself, but she couldn't control her teammates, especially a teammate who was temporarily inserted, which made the first game of Zhongnin's exam full of uncertainty.

One person is out.

The whole team was eliminated.

In the face of this almost harsh competition system, they may be divided into three different classrooms.

This is very difficult!

"Actually, this rule is quite bluffing. It's not just that you are worried, you can see, everyone here is very worried!" Qing Yu said slowly, he said these are to ease these two The emotions of the girls made them not feel so much pressure, and then continued: "Everyone is afraid of being cheated by their teammates, and everyone is also afraid that they will cheat their teammates. If such pressure is placed on their heads, they will definitely be Let their actions become trembling, and they will have concerns before doing anything. This should test everyone's ability to obtain intelligence under high pressure!"

"What you said makes sense!" Saki Nara nodded, and said with a wry smile: "Actually, if it's just a competition system, I don't have that much pressure. The main reason is that there is Brother Lujiu in front of me. I can be sure Brother Lujiu won't let us pass this first exam easily~www.NovelMTL.com~ Let's do our best." Aoba said lightly, he knew that no matter what he said now, the nervous emotions of Nara Saki and Akudo Rei It won't be alleviated, so it's useless to say anything.

Everything will wait until the information comes!

When the two of them saw the information that had been passed on, they should be relieved.

So……

Qing Yu understood it in her heart.

The first test of this Zhongnin test can be said to be an assessment of his intelligence acquisition ability!

but……

No one here knows!

Obtaining information is what Qing Yu does best!

There is not much information in his head now!

...

Snapped! Snapped! Snapped!

Nara Shikahisa’s palm came into contact with the blackboard again. With his tapping, the voices once again interrupted everyone’s discussion, and once again brought everyone’s attention back, letting people’s eyes focus on His body.

"Now you can take your registration form and queue up to me to collect your number plates in turn!"

"Don't be crowded when you line up, don't fight, everyone's number plates are random, and worry is of no use to you!"

"If someone scrambles or exchanges number plates privately, your entire team will be eliminated!"

"After getting the number plate..."

"You can't have any stay or communication!"

"Please go straight out of the classroom!"

"There will be someone to take you into the examination room!"

"So……"

After Nara Shilu said so much for a long time, his voice paused slightly, and his eyes became sharp.

"Get ready to start the first test of your Zhongnin exam!"
