Already an old married couple

After the two introduced themselves, the surrounding crowd fell silent.

Their gazes fell upon the two examiners on the podium, who appeared to be around the same age as them.

"So young..."

"Yes, yes, they look to be the same age as us."

"I remember now, those two were the ones who faced off during the Chunin exam held jointly by Sunagakure and Konoha Village!"

"Holy crap, how did those two end up together?"

The Ninja from various villages were talking about it, some even gossiping about how close the two were.

Temari blushed slightly and poked Shikamaru from behind.

Shikamaru then realized what was happening.

He immediately coughed lightly and mimicked the fierce look that Ibiki Morino had given him before.

"Cough!"

But just then, he suddenly noticed a striking red-haired boy in the crowd, next to a Black-haired, White-eyed Girl, and further back...

Choji?

How come he's with Kanami and Hinata?

When did these two get back?

Shikamaru was overwhelmed with thoughts, and his fierce demeanor instantly crumbled.

"What are you doing, Shikamaru!"

Temari to the side, suppressed her urge to shout at the crowd's anger.

"I think there's something wrong with those two proctors..."

Just then, she heard the voices of people around her talking about her and Shikamaru.

She could no longer hold back and pulled out her weapon Three-Star Fan, and swung it fiercely at the crowd!

"Keep quiet!"

Suddenly, a howling wind swept through the classroom, blowing many unsuspecting Ninja back several meters!

"What?! A typhoon?!"

"Wasn't I in the classroom?"

How could a typhoon blow into the classroom?

The sounds of banging and clanging continued.

After the wind stopped, all that could be seen were the desks that had been arranged earlier, now all askew and askew.

Shikamaru: "..."

He glanced sideways at Temari and saw the lingering gloom on her face.

"Gurgle."

He swallowed hard, but swallowed back what he wanted to say.

What a terrifying woman.

Why did they make me a co-examiner with her? This is so troublesome; I can't handle this terrifying woman at all.

Seeing that the classroom had quieted down considerably, Temari announced loudly, "Anyone who makes any more noise can leave the exam room!"

Everyone: "..."

You're the examiner, so everything you say is correct.

"Now, let's have our chief examiner explain the rules for the first exam."

Temari's eyes still flashed with a fierce light as she swept them over Shikamaru.

Shikamaru cleared his throat again and said in a deep voice, "First of all, this exam will be held in two classrooms. One person from each team will stay on this side, and two people will stay in the other classroom. Let's get started now. You have one minute. If you exceed the time limit, you will fail the exam!"

"Start!"

After hearing this, everyone looked at each other, somewhat stunned.

"I haven't heard anything about breaking up?"

"Weren't these test questions a bit too easy?"

"Aren't you moving? The timer has already started!" Temari shouted impatiently.

The group then realized what was happening and quickly discussed with their companions who should stay on this side and who should go to the other side.

"Kanami, Hinata, I'll stay here by myself. You two go ahead."

Choji Akimichi said with a smile.

Kanami shook his head. "No, you and Hinata go to the classroom across the hall, I'll stay in this classroom."

"Can..."

Choji Akimichi opened his mouth as if to say something, but was Teuchi by Kanami's outstretched hand.

"Do you think I don't know what you're thinking? There's no need for that. Hinata and I are like an old married couple. Don't worry about us. The important thing now is to pass the exam."

"How come you're considered an old married couple...?"

Hinata's face flushed slightly.

"Hurry up and go to the other side with Choji, time's almost up. You'll know what to do once you hear the exam rules."

"Um."

Hinata nodded.

Then, he and Choji Akimichi hurriedly went to the classroom across the street.

As for the specifics of how to do it, Hinata Hyuga didn't ask any further questions.

Since Kanami has said so, it proves that he believes he definitely knows!

Hinata gave Shikamaru a subtle smile as she passed by.

Sorry, we came back but didn't look for you.

Shikamaru scratched his head and chuckled, saying, "Let's get together after the exams. By the way, how far have things progressed between you and Kanami?"

ah...

Hinata, hearing that Shikamaru was also so gossipy, hurriedly called out, "... Time's almost up, Choji, let's go!"

After saying that, she blushed and ran away.

"It seems like our relationship has progressed to a much deeper level, otherwise she wouldn't be so shy."

Shikamaru guessed as he did so, glancing sideways at Kanami.

Upon noticing the gaze, Kanami waved apologetically and greeted them.

Temari nearby, watched Shikamaru and Kanami exchange glances and felt a strange pang of jealousy.

She crossed her arms and said, "You wouldn't be covering for them, would you?"

"Ha, they don't need my protection."

A minute passed quickly.

Meanwhile, all the teams in the classroom had separated as Shikamaru had previously instructed.

After all, it's not that difficult. The most people who think a bit more might think that the questions would be a little harder in a classroom where everyone is alone. So most of the people left here are the Elite from their respective teams.

"Alright, now let's officially announce the exam content."

As Shikamaru spoke, Temari went to the classroom across the hall to announce the exam content.

After seeing Temari leave, Shikamaru chuckled sheepishly and said, "Let's move all the desks over here first..."

Everyone was taken aback, then immediately understood.

The examiner must be henpecked!

However, the Ninja were very accommodating and spontaneously rearranged the desks.

Shikamaru: "Thank you all."

"Next, we will distribute test papers to everyone. Each test paper has three questions, worth 30, 40, and 50 points respectively."

If the total score of a team of three is equal to 100 points, they pass the exam; otherwise, they fail.

During the exam, you can use any means to tell your classmates how to get a perfect score on the test.

There's only one rule: you can't leave this classroom, and the same rule applies to the other side.

After saying that, Shikamaru left the classroom.

"So slow."

Temari had been waiting outside for a while.

The two went to the Monitoring Room together.

"Hiss, is this how you play?"

"Damn it! Our team has no means of communication!"

"Haha, that's easy!"

Among the Ninja, some were excited, while others were worried.

Those who are excited are those whose teams have mutual sensing capabilities or various communication abilities, while those who are worried are naturally teams that rely solely on physical strength.

Kanami had already taken a seat in the back.

As long as the exam content remains unchanged, it will be very easy for their team to pass.

Soon, Shikamaru's voice came from the surveillance cameras hanging on the walls of the two classrooms.

"The exam will now begin."
