Inuzuka Hana took the exam paper and glanced down. Her eyes instantly went as wide as saucers.
There were no fill-in-the-blank questions on ninja regulations, none of the questions about chakra properties she had stayed up all night memorizing.
There were no multiple-choice or true-or-false questions she could bluff her way through with rote memorization.
Instead, there were several sweeping, open-ended questions.
Each question sprawled across more than half a page, and every line conveyed the same message-this was not an exam. This was real combat.
Question one: Your squad has been ordered to the border to contact an intelligence operative embedded behind enemy lines and retrieve an important map of enemy troop deployments.
Upon reaching the rendezvous point, you discover that the operative is dead and enemy ninja have arrived.
One of your two teammates is gravely wounded, while the other is engaged in combat with the enemy.
Based on the circumstances above, devise a detailed plan of action.
Question two: While carrying out a mission, you are captured by the enemy. They do not subject you to brutal interrogation.
Instead, they continually provide you with food and water and allow you to move freely within their camp.
Three days later, you escape under cover of night and successfully rejoin your unit. Based on your experience, analyze the possible motives behind the enemy's actions.
Explain which key pieces of information you must report to the intelligence department upon returning to the village.
Question three: Your squad comes under enemy pursuit while retreating.
Your squad leader decides to use you as bait to draw away the pursuers and buy your teammates time to retreat. The leader promises to rendezvous with you at a designated location.
Based on the circumstances above, explain in detail your plan to lure the enemy away,
