According to the competition rules, the first stage of the Joint Chunin Ninja Exams is still a written test.
Mukai them and Pakura, and excitedly entered the examination hall.
Midway through their journey, they encountered the small team led by Rasa, although they were from the same village.
But the two sides were like enemies, mutually disgusted with each other.
Mukai had no intention of trying to curry favor with someone who wouldn't listen.
The scorpion beside him introduced them, saying that the others were basically members of Rasa's former Gold Dust Brigade.
He is primarily skilled in Wind Release, Earth Release, and basic Magnet Release of varying power, which he acquired through his Shukaku Trial.
These three were all seasoned Chunin, completely lacking in martial ethics, and impersonating Genin to participate in the Chunin Ninja Exams.
In Scorpion's words, they've completely lost all sense of shame.
Mukai glanced at Scorpion, who was constantly complaining, and only then did Scorpion realize that he was being teased by a cricket.
Scorpion gave Mukai a slightly awkward push.
"Don't look at me like that. My Chunin qualification hasn't even been officially announced by the village, unlike these veteran Chunin."
Mukai a nasal tone, saying:
"I remember the Third Kazekage's lineage postponed my Shukaku Trial and gave it to a Magnet Release genius in the Gold Dust Brigade, didn't they?"
Why didn't I see it?
Scorpion smoothed his hair with both hands and said disdainfully:
"Is that even a guess?"
It must be that the trial was failed.
If Shukaku Trial could awaken Magnet Release, then Sunagakure would already be the number one country!
My mother-in-law said that Shukaku has a terrible temper, but Bunpuku can control it, otherwise the danger of the trial would be off the charts.
Even so, the success rate of the trial is very low, and your mother-in-law told you not to worry about it too much.
"If it works, great; if not, we still have Puppet Mecha."
Mukai nodded and beckoned to Scorpion and Shisō:
"It's almost time, let's go! Time to prepare for the exam!"
The two entered the examination room as if they were strangers.
Of the three people on Mukai's side, only Shisō, who had only recently entered the martial arts world, was somewhat intimidated.
However, since each team is in the same testing room, it should be similar to Naruto's test, where intelligence gathering and transmission are permitted.
To put it bluntly, it's cheating.
They have Sasori, a puppet master, who uses Chakra Threads and Puppet Eye Transfer Technique, which will be more than enough to help Shisō complete the exam.
For Mukai, a seasoned veteran, taking exams and all sorts of things is second nature.
With so many exams from childhood to adulthood, Chinese people have long since developed a unique skill:
The art of knowing how to do something but being able to guess the answer!
That's a joke!
In fact, Mukai the inefficiency of ninja education in this era,
The ninja, who had barely finished basic literacy training, was at most equivalent to a fifth-grade student in his previous life.
The exam room setup was similar to that of a regular classroom, and the chief examiner had a pineapple-shaped hairstyle, making him look a lot like Shikamaru, one of the future members of the Konoha 12 Strongmen".
Based on his age, he should be Shikaku Nara from the Ino -Ino-Shika-Cho.
After Shikaku Nara explained the exam rules, Mukai quickly glanced at the questions and knew that they were not much different from Naruto.
Only half of the questions on the exam were basic ninja knowledge.
For example, calculating projectile trajectories and precautions for covert infiltration.
The other half of the questions were somewhat beyond the scope of the curriculum.
For example, this question:
Regarding the Chakra conduction characteristics and overall power composition of the barrier.
If it weren't for Mukai developing the Shinobi World version of the supercapacitor, he wouldn't have acquired some knowledge of Sealing Jutsu through Elder Chiyo.
He further used his knowledge of electrical circuits to make analogous improvements.
Even he, faced with such a bizarre question, would have no idea where to begin.
He only glanced at the question before quickly answering:
A: The power of a barrier is determined by its material and the spell used. The nodes are determined by the connection between the spells.
The impedance will undergo a step change—like the connection between the Chakra pathways and meridian nodes in Sealing Jutsu.
Based on the analogy between Chakra quantity and pathway conductivity, the formula for calculating the power of a barrier can be derived as follows...
In addition to the chief examiner, Shikaku Nara, several Chunin were also in charge of supervising the exam.
Shikaku, but instead walked around the exam room seemingly casually, glancing at the students of all ages without Genin answer the questions.
Among these people, Shisō's age is nothing special.
When Shikaku Nara walked up to Mukai, he was immediately drawn to his answer.
A formula for calculating the power of a barrier? What on earth is this?
However, as Konoha's strategist, Shikaku Nara was not just a figurehead.
He only had to think about it in his mind for a moment before he realized how ingenious the little sand ninja's calculation method was.
When did Sunagakure have such powerful ninjas?
Shikaku Nara glanced at the name on the scroll and remembered the Sand Ninja named Mukai.
Just as he was about to continue his stroll, he saw Mukai begin answering the last analytical question.
Shikaku stopped in his tracks.
This question was meant to stump all the test takers, much like the Naruto did, supposedly to test their ninja qualities.
The topic originated from the work he hadn't finished in the Barrier Team recently.
The barrier around Konoha has always experienced sudden fluctuations.
The location of the fluctuations is not fixed, and each fluctuation lasts for a very short time.
The Barrier Team couldn't figure out what the problem was, so they turned to him for help.
Shikaku Nara personally led the Barrier Team to investigate for over half a month, but they still couldn't find the problem.
The entire village's barrier was extremely secure.
Neither the core of the barrier nor the control points of each barrier showed any signs of damage.
He was utterly baffled after being appointed by the Third Hokage as the chief examiner for the first round of the Joint Chunin Ninja Exams.
He casually placed this difficult question on the exam paper.
This problem was beyond the Chunin even the Chunin scattered throughout the examination hall, let alone him and the veteran members of the Barrier Team.
Is this Sand Ninja kid really that stubborn?
Stunned by Mukai's answer, Shikaku Nara simply stopped beside Mukai, watching to see how he would solve this deadly question.
Mukai first drew a simple diagram of the boundary and the location of the problem on the draft paper, based on the description of the problem.
He first selected the center point of the entire barrier, and then divided the area into absolute positions.
In this way, the entire barrier becomes a complete area composed of circular regions arranged in a hexagonal grid.
Faced with such a difficult problem, Mukai felt like he was back in the college entrance exam math room!
He broke down the entire barrier's problem using circuit principles.
Once he got into the zone, he didn't even notice Shikaku Nara standing beside him, and quickly began his deductions and calculations:
According to Kirchhoff's current law, boundary nodes are points where Chakra branches off and converges.
Just like a node in a circuit where the algebraic sum of currents is zero, the Chakra flux (analogous current) at a normal boundary should be balanced.
If the flux at a certain point changes abruptly, such as due to abnormal convergence or loss,
It must be a node that contains a short circuit or branch point similar to those in a circuit.
Based on this boundary condition and topology, it can be concluded that...
The closure of a boundary corresponds to the loop integrity of a circuit; nodes are often located at topological discontinuities within the boundary.
Just like the connection point of a series branch or the common node of a parallel loop in a circuit.
The necessary positions of the nodes can be deduced by analyzing the geometric topology of the boundary (analogous to a circuit topology diagram).
Based on the boundary topology, it is speculated that artificially connected parallel node loops may exist at the following locations.
They are located at five points: A, B, C, D, and E.
Mukai felt a sense of satisfaction from solving the difficult problem.
He quickly marked five locations on the boundary diagram he had drawn where parallel node loops might exist.
He put down his pen and was about to stretch when...
The exam paper in front of him was snatched away by Shikaku Nara next to him.
He vanished from the examination room in an Body Flicker Technique.
Mukai was completely dumbfounded:
What's going on? Why did the examiner snatch my exam paper?
Konoha, are you sore loser?
