The atmosphere in the Exam Hall was already oppressive. After the first team was declared disqualified, it grew even heavier.
Almost everyone's breathing grew shallow, but for true elites, that was no problem.
Nanfeng watched the surrounding ninjas' cheating methods with interest. Shino Aburame and Inuzuka Kiba used their Ninja Beasts or insects in simple, straightforward ways: the insects formed shapes or conveyed answers through their movements, while Kiba communicated with his dog.
Did that mean... Inuzuka Kiba was basically a dog, in a way?
As for the two Hyuga Clan ninjas, their Byakugan was the perfect tool for gathering intelligence. The ninjas who knew the answers could block their arms as tightly as they liked, but the Byakugan could see through things. How frustrating was that?
The Ino-Shika-Cho Trio, meanwhile, perfectly demonstrated the teamwork passed down from the previous generation.
Ino Yamanaka's Mind Body Switch Technique, Shikamaru's Shadow Imitation Technique, and Choji's... Oh, Choji wasn't much use. Never mind!
As for the other villages, Gaara used the sand in his gourd to make a lifelike eyeball. It shared its vision through chakra. Kankuro, meanwhile, used a puppet and Sunagakure's specialized Puppet Manipulation Technique. With Chakra Threads, he controlled Temari's movements and copied all the answers perfectly.
They really were like the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea, each showing off their own powers!

"You're out.
