The students, who were initially nervous, were instantly captivated by Naruto's words.
This guy... can even notice something like this during an exam?
Yoshino Koshū was also momentarily taken aback, but quickly composed himself and looked at the examinee he was carrying.
Do I need to say anything more?
The examinee's face was quite interesting at this moment, after Naruto pointed out that he had cheated several times, but this was accompanied by Yoshino Koshū's direct stare.
He lowered his head involuntarily. "I understand."
"Depend on!"
You piece of trash!
As the candidate admitted it, his opponents all stood up, their faces full of dissatisfaction.
He kept cursing and swearing, while the student being criticized walked out of the classroom with his head down.
Naruto glanced at the other two and couldn't help but inwardly curl his lip.
These two guys relied entirely on this guy to pass on the answers, how dare they say such a thing?
"Hey kid, don't get too cocky."
Yoshino Koshū looked down at Naruto, his face full of warning.
"Teacher... you stepped on my test paper." Naruto said, his face full of black lines, pointing to the test paper that had been stepped on.
Yoshino Koshū:...
Why isn't this candidate following the expected pattern?
Am I warning him now? Instead of making him more aware, he's blaming me?
Seeing that Naruto was still staring straight at him, Yoshino Koshū couldn't help but smile inwardly.
It seems Konoha has produced an extraordinary individual.
Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Naruto's test paper, which clearly had a footprint on it, and immediately froze.
What's going on?
Almost finished filling it out?
Naruto picked up the test paper with disdain, and couldn't help but purse his lips when he saw the footprints on it.
This guy is so rude. I'll definitely have to talk to Ms. Hagoromo about it after the exam.
"There are 30 minutes left in the exam..."
Yoshino Koshū stopped paying attention to Naruto and instead addressed all the examinees in a calm tone.
These words instantly made the already tense atmosphere become serious.
Some people who had been waiting for an opportunity started to take action, and Naruto became everyone's main target.
After all, they had clearly seen Yoshino Koshū's expression just now.
Either Naruto's test paper was almost blank, or this blond guy got almost everything right.
Therefore, regardless of which one it is, they need to prioritize confirming the answers on Naruto's test paper.
Snap--
However, the Genin who were just about to make a move witnessed the moment their defenses were breached.
Naruto put down his pen, casually folded the test paper, tucked it under his arm, and began to doze off.
???
Yoshino Koshū, watching Naruto's actions, couldn't help but smirk. Was this guy doing it on purpose?
He had just created an opening and was hoping to draw everyone's attention to Naruto so he could use that opportunity to eliminate some people.
And then this little rascal just went straight to sleep!
Sleeping in the exam room is not against the rules, since the main criterion for passing is the score.
Sasuke, sitting in the back, smirked; Naruto's actions had been almost a constant for the past few years.
I learned this from Shikamaru.
Hinata was not far away, covered her mouth and chuckled softly. Naruto-kun looks so cute like this.
With their Genin had no choice but to start looking for other targets, some of whom thought of Naruto's teammates.
Even this seemingly dumbest blond kid could answer it, so his teammates probably aren't much worse, right?
With this in mind, the locations of Sasuke and Hinata became the most sought-after.
Sensing the subtle fluctuations, Sasuke curled the corners of his mouth and began to quietly form hand seals under the table.
Buzz--
A wave of energy emanated from the table, Genin who were using visual techniques collapsed onto the table.
The proctors in the classroom all looked at Sasuke at the same time.
This kid... managed to take down so many people using Genjutsu?
Yoshino Koshū smirked; so many people in the exam hall were asleep.
If I go out like this, won't my companions laugh me to death?
Before they came in, they each made bets on how many people they could eliminate, and now they've pulled this stunt.
"The second person from the left in the eighth column, and their teammate, can leave."
Seemingly noticing that the proctors' attention was drawn to Sasuke, the other Genin, who had their eyes on Hinata, became bolder.
However, the next moment, they were called out one after another.
Then, they walked out of the classroom in groups of three.
Yoshino Koshū pinched the bridge of his nose helplessly. Oh well, he could just discard the ones that hadn't woken up yet.
Thump--
As the bell rang, Yoshino Koshū immediately stood up and said, "Time's up, everyone, stop writing immediately."
Naruto had been dozing off, got up, rubbed his eyes, and then stretched.
"They're gone, the Dead Last."
Sasuke stood up and went straight to Naruto's side to speak, while Hinata helped Naruto to his feet.
"Huh? Is the exam over?"
Naruto scratched his head; he felt like he hadn't slept for very long.
"Yes, Naruto-kun, let's leave first," Hinata nodded from the side.
As for the results, they will be announced when the time comes, and even if Naruto's score doesn't reach the passing grade...
Hinata felt that her score and Sasuke's score were enough to even things out.
As for whether Naruto will get a zero score...
It can only be said that under Hagoromo's tutelage, Naruto, even if he can't get a perfect score, will at least pass.
"Let's go then, how about we go eat Ichiraku Ramen together later?"
Upon hearing that they could leave, Naruto put his arm around Sasuke's shoulder and gestured for Hinata to follow.
"Random."
Sasuke shrugged; he figured he wouldn't have time to go home for dinner anyway.
"By the way, Sasuke, how did your exam go?" Naruto looked at Sasuke with a concerned expression, knowing that he only found it easy because of the tutor's help.
Sasuke, that arrogant guy, is probably going to have a hard time this time.
"But it's okay~ Naruto did well on the test this time, he can barely lift your score."
As he spoke, Naruto even boasted a little.
Hinata chuckled softly, noting that Sasuke's theoretical knowledge had always been second only to Sakura Haruno from their time at the Ninja Academy.
Therefore, the kind of thing Naruto-kun described is almost impossible.
"Dead Last, you should worry about yourself first." Sasuke rolled his eyes, utterly exasperated.
"Well, don't worry, I won't say it's a perfect score this time, but ninety points is definitely no problem."
Naruto patted his chest and said it with great conviction.
Sasuke didn't refute this. Although Naruto's theoretical knowledge was a bit weak, his test scores were almost always predictable.
Therefore, regarding this score...
It's highly likely to be true. As for why people believe it...
His own teacher wasn't just anyone; it was obvious that he had given Naruto extra lessons specifically for this exam.
