After discussing the content of the exam, Ino dismissed Mind Transmission Technique, and several people chatted for a while. After the initial tension was relieved, the examiner wearing a Chunin vest began to check the candidates' admission certificates one by one, verify their identities, and guide them into the examination room.
Everyone at Konoha encouraged each other a few words, and followed the flow of people into the written examination room one after another.
Seats in the exam room appear to be assigned randomly.
When Naruto found his seat number and sat down, he looked up and found that the seat next to him was actually Hinata.
She was arranging the pens and papers on the table with some embarrassment, her fair cheeks were slightly red, and she had obviously noticed this coincidence.
"Don't be nervous."
Naruto turned sideways, lowered his voice, and smiled at Hinata, who was obviously nervous. His tone was relaxed and reassuring.
"Just act normally. I'll be by your side, it'll be okay."
His words were like a warm breeze, blowing away some of the anxiety in Hinata's heart.
She said "hmm" softly and nodded, feeling that her heartbeat seemed to be more stable.
Naruto looked at her, rolled his eyes, and suddenly came closer, saying with a somewhat expectant tone, "By the way, Hinata, if we can all pass Chunin Ninja Exams this time... I want to eat the food you cooked, is that okay?"
"Eh?"
Hinata didn't expect that Naruto would suddenly make this request. His face suddenly turned redder, and he waved his hands quickly, his voice as thin as a gnat.
"Ming, the food cooked by Naruto-kun... is more delicious..."
Naruto shook his head.
"But I just want to eat the food you cooked Hinata."
He emphasized, then rested his left arm casually on the table, tilted his body slightly towards Hinata, and looked at her sideways, Blue Eyes's eyes reflected Hinata's blushing face.
"If...Hinata also wants to eat the food I cook..."
He deliberately lengthened his tone and smiled slyly:
"That has to be done first by Hinata."
Looking at Naruto who was smiling and smiling at this time, Hinata felt that his heart was beating so fast.
She felt that her cheeks were about to burn, and her mind went blank. She could only respond subconsciously and in an almost inaudible voice:
"Okay... ok..."
Just then.
Snap!
A strong palm patted Naruto's shoulder unceremoniously. The force was not light, interrupting the delicate atmosphere between him and Hinata.
Naruto There is no need to look back, you will know who it is just by looking at Chakra Sensing.
He looked sideways and saw Neji Hyuga standing in the aisle next to his seat at some point. His face was calm, but the veins around those pure white eyes were already popping up - obviously Byakugan was turned on.
The unfamiliar candidate from another village who was originally sitting on the other side of Naruto is now lying in the aisle, obviously coaxed to sleep by Neji using Gentle Fist.
"It's time to take the exam."
Neji's voice was dull and emotionless, but the eyes that turned on Byakugan carried an unmistakable warning, scanning Naruto and Hinata, whose face was so red that it was almost bleeding.
"Pay attention."
The examination room was already a bit noisy, with sounds of people talking in low voices, adjusting sitting postures, and flipping through stationery.
Neji's slightly domineering move immediately attracted the attention of a small area nearby, and several candidates from other villages cast suspicious glances.
What is going on?
Hey, can you still get something to eat if you take the test?
However, before the atmosphere could ferment further--
"That candidate!"
A low, serious, and oppressive voice sounded at the door of the examination room.
"Sit back in your seat!"
I saw the examiner Ibiki Morino, wearing an iconic long black trench coat, with scars on his face and eyes as sharp as an eagle, striding into the examination room.
The first thing he saw was the person lying in the aisle and Neji standing next to Naruto's seat. His brows instantly tightened and he scolded unceremoniously.
Following his majestic scolding, the originally noisy examination room suddenly became quiet.
You can hear the needle drop.
All the candidates, no matter what they were doing before, subconsciously straightened their backs at this moment, and looked at the powerful examiner with awe or vigilance.
There was a suffocating tension in the air.
Chunin Ninja Exams The first session, the written examination, officially kicked off after such a dramatic episode.
Neji sat back in his seat obediently.
"I just deliberately came two minutes late to observe you, but I didn't expect that you losers couldn't calm down after entering the examination room.
It's so noisy, but there's no way it looks like Ninja?"
Candidates from other villages thought that if they were called trash, they would just be called trash. It would be bad if they were disqualified from taking the exam because of the conflict.
Konoha candidates are even less likely to contradict the examiner from their own village and make a joke in front of people from other villages.
Ibiki was not surprised to see that none of the candidates below stood up.
At least there are no fools this time.
Ibiki Morino then began to introduce himself.
"I have kept you waiting for a long time. I am the examiner of your first exam Ibiki Morino."
Ibiki stood on the podium and glanced at all the candidates.
"There are several crucial rules in the first selection. I will only say them once and I will not answer any of your questions after I say them, so you all just listen to me."
"Article 1. Each candidate initially holds ten points. There are ten questions in the written test, each question is worth one point. This test adopts a point deduction system. If you answer a question incorrectly, one point will be deducted."
"Article 2, the examination results will be judged by the total scores of the three members of each group."
"Article 3 is also the most important one. If you are found to have cheated by the invigilator during the exam, or are suspected of cheating, you will be deducted two points on the spot without being discovered, and you will be eliminated after the deduction."
" As long as one of the three members of the Ninja team scores zero, then all three will be eliminated together. The final tenth question will be announced forty-five minutes after the exam starts. The exam time is one hour. Now, the exam begins!"
As Ibiki Morino finished speaking, the candidates opened the test papers on the table one after another.
The unlucky guy next to Naruto glanced at Neji with resentment, endured Left Hand's paralysis, opened the test paper and started to answer the questions.
The moment the exam started, Ino used Mind Transmission Technique to connect to eleven other people.
'Listen to me first, this time is indeed a test of intelligence gathering ability as I guessed.'
Naruto spoke out first in the consciousness link.
'The second person from right to left in the second row in the middle started writing furiously without even thinking after turning over the paper. Hinata and Neji can use Byakugan to see if what he wrote is correct.
If I guessed correctly, he should be the person who sneaked into the candidates.'
After waiting for a while, Neji responded first.
'He has now reached the seventh question. This speed is not normal at all. And judging from the answers to the first code question and the second question, which is a very long parabola, they should be correct.'
'Then, everyone will copy papers based on their own abilities.'
