In the classroom of the first written examination, the noise suddenly dissipated, leaving only Ibiki Morino and a few examiners sorting out the collected test papers. He flipped through several papers and nodded slightly when he saw the dense answers on them.
Most of the candidates relied on their intelligence-gathering abilities to answer the questions fairly well. Sure enough, all those who can be left behind have something to do with it.
In fact, almost all candidates' cheating methods could not escape the eyes of him and the invigilation team - whether it was Byakugan of Hyuga, Sharingan of Uchiha, Aburame Clan's bug, or even Sand Eye of Sunagakure and that puppet. Only those who are too clumsy and do not know how to restrain themselves will be caught on the spot and disqualified.
After sorting it out for a while, Ibiki deliberately pulled out the one he was most concerned about from the pile of test papers.
"Uzumaki Naruto..."
He whispered the name on the test paper, his eyes becoming complicated. This name of Genin is now almost the focus of private discussion among all Jonins of Konoha - Hatake Kakashi's proud disciple, Hokage who is personally recognized by Third Hokage and destined for the future...
Ibiki carefully examined the neat handwriting and clear answers on the paper, and nodded slightly unconsciously.
The answers are all correct and well organized... what a great guy. How did he detect the standard answer?
Naruto's "cheating" method was the only one in the audience that Ibiki failed to see through. He was convinced that Naruto must have used some special method to obtain information, but he was still unable to determine the specific method.
However, when his eyes stayed on the second big question - the question about calculating the maximum range of Shuriken plane combat and analyzing the characteristics of the enemy Ninja, his brows gradually tightened, and then he showed an expression of disbelief.
Wait... there's something wrong.
The answer itself is correct, no problem. But... the calculation basis and derivation process written next to it are actually much more detailed and rigorous than the standard answer set internally by the examiner!
Not only does it list the complete oblique throwing motion formula, but it also carefully analyzes the hit probability of targets of different heights under the parabolic trajectory, and even takes into account the slight influence of wind speed and Shuriken weight!
This kind of in-depth analysis... could it be said that he didn't get this question by cheating at all, but that he calculated it step by step by himself?!
This discovery caused Ibiki to fall into a brief silence.
What a... frighteningly powerful kid.
Just like his mother...
Forest of Death In the humid and oppressive air, Naruto took a deep breath and calmed down. He turned to his two teammates and said.
"For the next action, I will keep the scrolls in our hands. This is the safest way. Satsuki, you are responsible for flank security and main fire output. You, Sakura, your task is to always pay attention to the surrounding environment and protect yourself. The goal is to fight quickly and try to avoid unnecessary fights."
For some reason, Sakura felt that Naruto seemed to be more energetic than usual at this moment, and his whole aura became sharper. Is it an illusion? I always feel that the corners of Naruto's eyes seem a little moist...
At this moment, [Golden Experience], who could only be seen by Naruto, appeared quietly. It slowly pressed its hand on the moss-covered ground, and the invisible Life Energy sensation spread like ripples. The breath of life of every animal and every candidate in the forest is clearly visible in Naruto's perception.
This Substitution Ability is so practical. The range and accuracy of detecting Life Energy alone are comparable to the perspective of Byakugan and Mind's Eye of the Kagura.
After hearing Satsuki's firm response, which was as close as a warning, Naruto's determination and confidence reached an unprecedented height.
Orochimaru, you came here to fry fish disguised as Chunin, right? Then I will let you experience for yourself what it feels like to encounter cheating when frying fish.
At this moment, he clearly sensed two special chakras. One was the familiar aura of Gaara that was mixed with violence and pain. Kurama in his heart immediately became restless, constantly urging him to teach the raccoon cat a lesson and grab the scroll by the way.
But Naruto immediately vetoed this action. First of all, it was not time to face Gaara. Another reason was that he sensed that the cold and sticky breath of life belonging to Orochimaru was approaching in the direction they were heading at an extremely fast speed.
Kurama, please be patient, it is not the right time yet. He comforted his restless companion in his heart.
At this time, Sakura raised a question. "Naruto, then which direction should we move now?"
"Go directly to Central Tower." Naruto pointed to the depths of the forest without hesitation.
"Eh? But," Sakura was a little puzzled, "The condition for passing the exam is to collect the two scrolls of heaven and earth. Why don't we grab the missing one first?"
Satsuki on the side was speechless when he heard this question. Although he has perfect theoretical knowledge, his tactical thinking is still not flexible enough. Wouldn't it be much more efficient to rush in advance and wait near the tower to intercept the teams that have collected the scrolls and are preparing to pass the level? The team that can go there must have collected two scrolls.
"The missing scroll... we can solve it this way on the way."
As soon as he finished speaking, Satsuki and Sakura looked at him with some doubts. Naruto took out a special Kunai with a unique shape and a triangular shape - it was the Kunai mark of Flying Thunder God Formula.
While the two looked at each other in surprise, he just gently threw the kunai up seemingly casually.
The moment Kunai left the fingertips and reached the highest point.
"Whoosh!"
A blurry figure plummeted down from the dense canopy of trees. In the reflection of Satsuki's suddenly shrinking pupils, the sneak attacker was approaching Naruto at an alarming speed. On E's back, the sharp Kunai in his hand was pointed directly at Naruto's neck, with the most obvious intention - to kidnap him!
Got it!
The sneak attack Mist Village Ninja looked at the unsuspecting blond figure so close to him, and could not help but raise a smug smile.
You are just a brat, your experience is too shallow! You deserve to be my prey if you discuss tactics without any protection in a place like this!
, just before the sharp edge of the kunai in his hand was about to touch Naruto's skin——
"Uh-huh!"
The figure of Naruto disappeared out of thin air!
All of this happened in a flash of lightning, and the proud expression on the attacker's face completely froze before it even had time to turn into shock.
"Bang!"
A dull crashing sound came from above! He saw that the Naruto that was supposed to be in front of him actually appeared above his head as if teleporting at this moment. One hand firmly caught the special Kunai that had just been thrown up, and the other hand pressed hard on the back of his head, smashing his face to the ground!
The huge impact caused the Mist Ninja to lose his balance in an instant and was suppressed to the ground. Then, the cold Kunai shot in turn, accurately placed on his throat.
"Don't move."
Naruto A calm voice came from above his head, "Now, please answer my question - are you keeping the scrolls of your team?"
