Genin Exam Begins
The annual Genin Exam have begun, and the entire Ninja Academy is filled with a tense atmosphere.
Sixth-grade and seventh-grade students were all in a large classroom specifically for exams. All the students held round pens and sat at desks answering questions.
This classroom is as big as a playground and can hold more than 1,200 people taking exams at the same time.
The first stage of the Genin Exam consists of fill-in-the-blank and multiple-choice questions.
Give all students a test paper containing fill-in-the-blank questions from the new version of The Will of Fire, along with thirty charges against Hiruzen Sarutobi and twenty-nine charges against Shimura Danzō.
You'll get 40 points if you write all of these down. There are also five multiple-choice questions worth 5 points, and finally an essay question: How to praise the Fifth Hokage?
A good compliment can earn you 50 points, which means you'll pass your academic exam directly.
The person in charge of the Genin Exam was the principal of the Ninja Academy, Ashi-moto Kankan.
There were two other examiners supervising, one was Director Takemasa, and the other was Director Mayumi. They were both sitting next to Principal Kankan, responsible for stamping and signing.
Inside the exam room, there were three large surveillance cameras, plus several Hyuga Clan supervising the exam. These Hyuga Clan were invited by Principal Kankan to prevent cheating.
These Hyuga Clan Jonin, all with their Byakugan activated, stared intently at Naruto Uzumaki as if he were a thief, eager to see what this guy was up to, daring to cause trouble under the Byakugan's watchful eye.
Naruto Uzumaki wasn't trying to cause trouble; the questions were just too difficult, and he had no idea how to do them. He could only scratch his head, looking utterly hopeless.
"Ugh, "Naruto sighed again, looking resentful. "Third Hokage, why did you commit so many crimes? Now I have to fill in thirty answers for this! It's infuriating!"
Naruto stared wide-eyed, biting his pen, intently examining Hiruzen Sarutobi's seventh crime.
The charge above states that Hiruzen Sarutobi is a pedophile; who was he assaulting?
Naruto wrote "Naruto Uzumaki" directly on the charge, but after thinking about it, he felt it was too embarrassing, so he erased his name and wrote "Uchiha Sasuke" instead.
Naruto looked at his answer and burst into laughter, saying smugly, "Sasuke got taken down too, hahaha!"
Meanwhile, the other students who took the exam all wrote Naruto Uzumaki's name on Hiruzen Sarutobi's seventh crime.
Sasuke, who had always been at odds with Naruto, wrote three of Naruto Uzumaki's names on Hiruzen Sarutobi's seventh crime, and then checked it off.
Sasuke glanced at Naruto Uzumaki, who was beaming with joy, and thought to himself, "This is the most I've ever supported Hiruzen Sarutobi in this matter. Foolish Naruto deserves to be Hiruzen Sarutobi. This is what you, the loser, deserve."
Sakura was the most solid student in the theory class. In just half an hour, she filled in all the fill-in-the-blank questions and finished the multiple-choice questions. Then, looking at the final essay question...
Sakura pondered for a moment, recalling the events in Qingcheng, and thought to herself:
"The Hokage is the gentlest person in the world. His smile is as bright as the sun. He is the person I have ever met who smiles the most. His eyes are as bright as black pearls. I don't think there is another person like him in the world. He is like a ray of light in the eyes of ordinary people. Our Konoha cannot do without the Fifth Hokage."
Sakura then got to work, taking a ballpoint pen and slowly starting to write the essay, her writing style resembling that of writing a love letter. She could write over fifty words in a minute.
Shikamaru looked at the exam paper and said lazily:
"These questions are too easy. Dad gave me the answers last night. And the last one is to praise the Fifth Hokage in 800 words. The Fifth Hokage did so many things and was the strongest Hokage in Konoha's history. I could write a thousand words about any one of those achievements. It's not like anyone can do it."
Meanwhile, Choji had over twenty bags of potato chips in his pocket. Looking at the proctors, all of them were from the Hyuga Clan, and each of them had their Byakugan activated. One Hyuga Clan was even staring directly at him. He simply didn't dare eat any snacks.
Meanwhile, Choji was also extremely flustered, thinking to himself, "Did these Hyuga Clan notice I brought snacks? They're just staring at me like that, it's terrifying. Why are their Byakugan fixed on me? Can't they stare at someone else?"
The reason the monitoring officers were keeping a close eye on Choji was because they were utterly shocked that he had brought over twenty bags of snacks, twelve scallion pancakes, seven hamburgers, and three chicken legs to the exam.
Choji's actions left the Hyuga Clan completely baffled. Everyone looked embarrassed and astonished that this guy was even preparing to eat during the exam, without answering a single question.
A Hyuga Clan wearing sunglasses said with a serious expression, "Little fatty, if you can eat a snack while under the Byakugan's watchful eye, I'll declare you passed the test."
A long-haired Hyuga Clan, his face darkening, said to Choji, "Little fatty, you're just too outrageous! If you had brought some answers to copy, we would have forgiven you. Why did you bring so many snacks? And your test paper—why hasn't you written a single question? It's completely blank!"
Choji said awkwardly, "I didn't get any snacks, so my mind is completely blank. I don't even know how to write this."
A large group of the Hyuga Clan couldn't hold back any longer. Their faces darkened, and they said, "Then you can only eat a chicken leg first, and we'll pretend we don't know anything."
Choji nodded immediately, his face filled with gratitude, and said, "Thank you."
A Hyuga Clan wearing sunglasses spoke up directly, "Don't make a sound, eat slowly by yourself."
Hinata's exam went more smoothly than anyone else's. Not a single Hyuga Clan monitored her with their Hinata Hyuga Byakugan; she could do whatever she wanted without anyone interfering.
Hinata herself has no problem with academic subjects; she finished the fill-in-the-blank questions in no time, then the multiple-choice questions, and now she's even starting to write essays.
Another truly extraordinary individual was Ino. She finished all the questions in no time and quickly came to the essay question. Looking at the essay topic, Ino, "An essay praising Master? That's too easy, hehehe."
