The order and seating arrangements of the more than two hundred candidates seemed to have been completely disrupted.
In fact, a careful observation reveals that members of the same team are generally not scattered too far apart, but rather dispersed at a subtle distance. In other words, this distance tests the cooperation and tacit understanding among these Genin various ninja villages.
Cheating is not allowed in exams.
This is the general rule and understanding of assessments, but the assessments for ninjas are different. They must use various means to complete tasks and achieve predetermined goals. This is the duty of ninjas, Chunin Ninja Exams are no exception!
This can also be seen as a special mission!
It's important to note that this assessment will take the average score of each team. It's not very meaningful if only one person scores high. Even if two people don't perform well and get the lowest score, it will greatly affect the final evaluation of the entire team.
Therefore, this is where teamwork comes in.
'It seems no examiners infiltrated the area? Does that mean even if someone wanted to cheat, they'd have to find a way to find the truly top students?'
Qi Duan sat down in his seat and, while the examiners were still distributing the test papers, glanced around.
What if there aren't any top students around you, and you really don't know the answer?
Then all we can do is wait for our teammates to provide support!
This also indirectly shows the difficulties a ninja might encounter while carrying out daily missions.
That's a situation where neither skill nor luck matters.
Smooth sailing is a privilege reserved for the truly chosen ones; for ordinary people, it's best to forget about it!
However, Qi didn't need to worry about these things. After all, he was a top student himself, and Mei Terumi was almost the same. As for Kisame Hoshigaki, he wouldn't have any problem achieving even the minimum required score. Besides, weren't Qi and Mei Terumi there for him?
Therefore, you can relax and observe the other candidates' conditions during this first assessment. Even if it's just a written test, you can still get some insight into their abilities.
"Start!"
Of course, before that, you should definitely prioritize finishing your own exam.
After the exam papers were distributed, Shikaku Nara, who was at the head of the table, shouted out, and the candidates below began to show their skills and enter high-speed answering mode.
The written exam for the Chunin Ninja Exams was very well prepared, with multiple choice, short answer, true/false, and essay questions. The content covered ranged from basic Chakra concepts to code analysis and trap detection and handling. Almost all the theoretical knowledge that ninjas must learn during their time at the Ninja Academy was tested.
Don't assume that ninjas don't have much theoretical knowledge or that it's unimportant just because the original work doesn't describe this aspect very much.
On the contrary, a qualified ninja must at least be above average in these theoretical knowledge, if not exceptionally good.
There's only one Naruto Uzumaki!
Jonin are already the pinnacle of the Shinobi World; most ninjas will only ever be ordinary Genin if they don't have a firm grasp of these theoretical concepts.
He's not qualified to be a ninja!
Over the past three years, Qi has absorbed a great deal of ninja-related theoretical knowledge at the Ninja Academy, like a sponge, and tried his best to strengthen himself in all aspects. Therefore, this theoretical knowledge is not a big problem for Qi.
All the multiple-choice and true/false questions were basically just a quick pass through. The related theoretical explanations and short answer questions could also be answered with a little recollection. Only the last example practice questions required more time to think and organize.
Therefore, overall, Qi was still answering questions quickly in a highly efficient manner. After answering most of the questions, Qi looked up and glanced at the positions of his two teammates, seemingly casually.
Mei Terumi smiled slightly, while Kisame Hoshigaki maintained his indifferent expression.
At the moment I saw it.
Qi understood perfectly. It seemed that his two teammates didn't need to worry about anything. In the following time, Qi answered the questions while quietly observing the other candidates, especially the student Baki was closest to him.
In the original work, this person was one of the Sand Ninja most trusted by the Fourth Kazekage Rasa, Rasa. In terms of strength, he was definitely Elite Jonin to the level of Quasi-Kage, as shown in the original work. Even if Gekko Hayate was not the best, he was still a Special Jōnin. Baki could kill him instantly, so his personal strength was still evident.
Because of this, a small number of Hokage fans thought that Baki would become the Fifth Kazekage.
In his previous life, Qi was one of that small group of people.
Therefore, in this life, Qi will naturally pay more attention to him, as he is one of the few elite geniuses in Sunagakure.
As for the others, Kakashi and the Magnet Release ninja Toroi were too far away to mention for now. But in the nearby area, I did spot a few familiar faces. For example, the little boy with a toothpick in his mouth in the position to the right and behind him was clearly Genma Shiranui, the examiner of the third Chunin Ninja Exams the original story.
Right in front of you, that cool-looking little boy with a classic square face and a slightly rebellious vibe is definitely the Third Hokage's son— Asuma Sarutobi!
To his left was a little boy wearing sunglasses. Judging from his somewhat familiar appearance, he was most likely Aoba Yamashiro, who appeared several times in the original work and later successfully became Jonin.
And there are Namiashi Raidō, Ibiki Morino, and others.
These are all future Konoha Jonin teams who have had significant roles in the original work!
During this period, they were all between eight or nine years old and eleven or twelve years old, which is the youngest period of their lives!
As for the more familiar ones like Akimichi Chōza, Inoichi Yamanaka, Hyuga Hiashi, Hizashi Hyuga, Minato Namikaze, Kushina Uzumaki, they are all nearly ten years older, or even more, and are already Chunin or even Jonin!
He definitely won't appear in this Chunin Ninja Exams!
As for the characters like Gekko Hayate, Mitarashi Anko, and Kurenai Yuhi, they are too young. They should be around four or five years old now, and they may have just entered the Ninja Academy!
You can graduate from the Ninja Academy at the age of five.
Currently, Konohagakure has only one Kakashi Hatake!
Of course, Qi couldn't possibly remember the ages of these people so clearly; the original work didn't provide detailed introductions for each of them, so he could only make a rough inference.
'I didn't expect to have so many 'acquaintances'! It seems this Chunin Ninja Exams will be much more interesting than I imagined!'
Upon seeing these familiar faces...
Qi also subtly changed his previous opinion. He still maintained that becoming a Jonin meant he was already among the best in the Shinobi World!
Calling someone a genius is by no means an exaggeration!
If all these people successfully advance to the next round of assessments, Qi needs to pay attention to his strategy choices!
