I Report, They Cheated!

"No need to wait for the next exam..."

The Sound Ninja swayed its body, immediately preparing to attack Kazeka:

"Let me give you a taste of my power first!"

"All of you, shut up, you bunch of trash!"

A sharp shout interrupted the Sound Ninja's actions. Accompanied by a puff of smoke, Konoha's proctor—Morino Ibiki—appeared above the podium.

He was a man wearing a black trench coat and a black headscarf.

His only exposed face was covered in scars, clearly indicating he was a ninja who had undergone hellish interrogations.

"Sorry to keep you waiting. I am Morino Ibiki, the examiner for the first test of the Chunin Selection. As for you Sound Ninja..."

As a Jonin, Morino Ibiki immediately took control of the situation. Glaring at the arrogant Sound Ninja, he directly berated them:

"Don't cause any trouble before the exam. Do you want to be disqualified immediately?"

"Sorry, we were just too excited because it's the first exam..."

Although they were unhappy about being scolded, they still had to show some respect.

While their expressions didn't show much respect, their words did give Ibiki plenty of face:

"We accidentally..."

"This is also a good opportunity. Let me clarify things first..."

Receiving a response from the Sound Ninja, Ibiki spoke again:

"You are not allowed to fight without the examiner's permission. Even if the examiner permits it, you are not allowed to take actions that will kill your opponent.

Any fools who dare to defy me will be immediately disqualified. Do you understand?"

Seeing that the room had quieted down, and all the Genin had orderly taken their seats, Ibiki stopped wasting words and directly explained the exam rules.

The first test was a written exam. The rules were simple, with four guidelines:

1. There are ten questions in total. One point will be deducted for each incorrect answer. 2. Scores will be calculated based on the total score of each three-person team. 3. Cheating discovered once will result in a deduction of two points. 4. If anyone scores zero, the entire team will be eliminated.

Kazeka looked at the paper in his hand. While it was as simple as 1+1=2 for him, the knowledge points were a bit too advanced for the other Genin.

Combined with the rules, and the fact that several ninjas began writing without hesitation, it was clear this was designed to test their cheating abilities, or in other words, their information-gathering capabilities!

Kazeka clenched his fist. When he opened it again, two peculiar creations had appeared in his hand.

These were what Kazeka called "Eye Spiders," living up to their name.

They had a large, watery eye, and below it, three pairs of spider limbs extended for movement.

One "Eye Spider" rapidly crawled across the table onto a wall, acting like a surveillance camera, taking in everything in the room.

The other "Eye Spider" burrowed into Kazeka's collar.

A nerve extended from the eye and limb section, piercing into Kazeka's neck and connecting to his optic nerves!

With this, Kazeka possessed all the video intelligence in the entire room!

"I've been too busy lately and forgot to test these things' performance. Now is a good time.

It seems their methods are truly varied..."

Kazeka idly filled in the answers on the paper while observing the situation in the room.

Shino Aburame from the same village was using the Kikaichū within him to transmit information.

Hinata was using the Byakugan's clairvoyance ability to obtain answers.

Sasuke was using the Sharingan's copying ability to acquire information.

Even Tenten, who didn't have special ninjutsu, had skillfully placed several mirrors on the ceiling of the room.

Using threads to control them, she was observing the information within the room.

Ninjas from other villages also displayed their unique skills, such as puppet techniques, using bird calls from outside the window, and so on.

The various methods made Kazeka nod frequently, sparking many new experimental ideas.

The only one who left Kazeka speechless was Naruto!

That guy had spent a considerable amount of time in his laboratory and had seen all sorts of novel gadgets.

However, he only found them interesting and didn't think about asking for or learning similar ninjutsu.

As a result, he gained nothing other than continuing to diligently practice his Chakra and taijutsu.

Even Kiba Inuzuka, although he hadn't participated in his experiments, had shamelessly asked for some things from him.

Though it was just a dog bell, a specially made dog girl mini-skirt, black stockings, and so on...

As a result, Naruto could only watch enviously as others displayed their might, scratching his ears in frustration and despair.

Hinata's seat was next to Naruto's. Clearly, Naruto's helpless state made Hinata a little uneasy as well.

However, she had no intention of letting Naruto copy her answers.

Hinata had understood the rules of the exam from the very beginning.

Even if she let Naruto copy, it would only deduct two points at most, which wouldn't affect the team.

Yet, after a series of experiments with Kazeka, not only had Hinata's combat strength improved, but her personality had also changed considerably.

Although she didn't often blacken out, her timid nature had improved significantly. Most importantly, she had developed an intolerance for stupidity!

Therefore, her affection for Naruto continued to decrease.

Seeing Naruto looking around desperately for answers, she couldn't help but narrow her eyes and pull her test paper further away from Naruto!

Naruto: "..."

If Naruto felt despair at this moment, then Dosu of the Sound Ninja felt a surge of pleasure.

It wasn't for any other reason; he had understood the true nature of this exam right from the start.

He and the Ninja in his team were even using sound to transmit information, not only getting the answers but also knowing that this exam would filter out many Ninja.

If the first exam was this easy, then the subsequent exam content also put his mind at ease!

But soon, he felt an urge to curse!

"Examiner, I report! Someone is cheating!"

Seeing Kazeka stand up and point directly at him, Dosu was utterly bewildered:

"The rules don't seem to have a category for reporting points, do they?"

Kazeka's actions not only bewildered Dosu but also surprised the chief examiner, Morino Ibiki.

But immediately, he regained his poker face:

"Understood, Sound Ninja. Two points deducted. Candidate, sit down and continue the exam!"

"Examiner, is that all?"

Kazeka had no intention of sitting down. On the contrary, while Dosu wore a look of utter disbelief, Kazeka righteously declared:

"Since his cheating has been discovered, the cheating tools should be confiscated.

The small flutes they used to transmit information are too conspicuous; shouldn't they be handed in as well?

And also, the Sound Ninja..."

Kazeka turned his head to look at Dosu, and with a sinister grin amidst Dosu's glare, he said:

"Such a crude method of cheating, I imagine you wouldn't be embarrassed to use it again, would you?"
