The students on the playground erupted in an uproar. Did this mean they might be eliminated before they even took the exam?
"That's not fair! We're here to participate in the Chunin Ninja Exams, not to answer your questions!"
Some candidates hid in the crowd and used unique vocal techniques to prevent the examiners from identifying who was asking the questions.
"Those who hide their true intentions have no right to question this. This is the first test of the Chunin Ninja Exams. If you can't even pass such a simple test, you might as well give up on the exam altogether."
Kotetsu Hagane retorted forcefully, demonstrating the confidence that Konoha possessed as the strongest ninja village!
The initially excited examinees gradually quieted down. After all, they were just newly graduated Genin. Perhaps a few had surpassed Genin, but they were still a minority.
"Since no one has chosen to withdraw from the exam, I will now reveal the first test question."
Kotetsu Hagane looked around and finally saw that no troublemakers dared to contradict him, the 'temporary examiner'.
"Very good. The first test is as follows: one of these two doors is a Genjutsu creation, while the other is a real door. Only by opening the correct door can you participate in this Chunin Ninja Exams."
"To find the correct door, you can only obtain information from us, and each person can only ask one question. A friendly reminder: one of us will only tell the truth, and the other will only lie. So, the timer is ten minutes. Candidates who haven't entered the examination room are considered failures. The test begins."
Izuki Kamizuki presses the clock that has been prepared beforehand, and the countdown to determine the fate of the examinees begins. If no one answers correctly, then this exam will become the first Chunin Ninja Exams history to be completely absent.
As the countdown began, the examinees on the training ground started to get anxious. Their goal this time was to become Chunin, and it would be too embarrassing to not even get into the examination hall for the first exam.
"How do you ask someone who only tells the truth and someone who only lies?"
"How about we take turns asking questions, starting by asking who is telling the truth, and then asking which door is the correct one?"
"How do you know the person you asked isn't lying? Pushing open the wrong door will get you eliminated immediately."
"Ugh... this question is way too difficult! Are all the Chunin Ninja Exams Konoha this rigorous?"
At this moment, not only the ninjas from other villages, but even the ninjas from Konoha were completely bewildered. When did the Chunin Ninja Exams add such a test?
What are these questions all about? Wouldn't it be much simpler to just test the ability to dispel Genjutsu?
Time passed slowly, and when half of the time had passed, one of the genin from Amegakure Genin contain himself. Ignoring his teammates' attempts to stop him, he walked toward the gate guarded Chunin two chunin.
He randomly selected Izumo Kamizuki on the left, pointed to the large gate on the right, and asked:
Is this the correct door?
Izumo Kamizuki glanced at it twice, then decisively shook his head. "This door is wrong."
After observing for a few moments, the Amegakure Genin decisively pushed open the right-hand door. Based on his intuition and understanding of Genjutsu, he was certain that the Konoha Ninja was lying!
But after pushing it up with both hands, the Amegakure Genin realized that it wasn't a door at all, but a wall!
Kotetsu Hagane shook his head regretfully.
" Amegakure Genin Hao, eliminated!"
The first-place winner was eliminated, but instead of being intimidated by the strict rules, the others showed relieved smiles.
The only wrong answer has already been ruled out by the idiot, so what other test is there to worry about?
Several Genin to push open the right-hand gate, ignoring Izumo Kamizuki and Kotetsu Hagane, who were on duty guarding the gate.
The first to encounter the gate were the Sunagakure Genin, but the moment their hands touched the gate, the Sunagakure Genin's expression turned extremely ugly.
This door is fake too!
" Sunagakure Genin Kifu, eliminated."
The others stopped pushing the door open, took a few steps back, and then loudly questioned:
"What does this mean? Both doors are Genjutsu. Aren't they just playing us?"
Kotetsu Hagane and Izumo Kamizuki wore expectant smiles, and their smiles were exceptionally bright. As expected of Ibiki, his grasp of human nature was too accurate.
"Who told you that the 'door to Genjutsu ' can't be moved? From the moment you stepped onto the playground, you've already entered a grand Genjutsu. If you think you can find out the correct door without working for it by relying on other people's answers, don't harbor such illusions."
"A friendly reminder: the people who tell the truth and the people who lie will change every time."
The elimination of two candidates in a row forced the other candidates to think of ways to increase their chances of success, but as time went by, they also began to feel anxious.
Especially for Rock Lee, who was single-celled, he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, but he couldn't think of any solution and could only do push-ups over and over again.
"956, 957, 958..."
Neji sat cross-legged on the ground, pondering carefully. Because it was a large-scale Genjutsu, even his Byakugan couldn't tell which door was the correct one.
I counted the possibilities on my fingers Tenten, but since I couldn't identify the correct door through the process of elimination, I could only ask the question with the highest probability.
Seeing their helpless and frustrated expressions, Naoki Senju didn't embarrass them any further.
He whispered a few words to Tenten, then walked straight towards the gate of the Ninja Academy.
"Oh, finally it's Konoha Genin this time. Hopefully, he can see through this problem."
"Even though you're Konoha Ninja, don't hold back."
Don't worry.
The exchange between Kotetsu Hagane and Izumo Kamizuki quickly came to an end, and Naoki Senju had already walked up to them.
After observing for a few moments, Naoki Senju pointed to the large door on the left and asked Izumo Kamizuki:
Will he ( Kotetsu Hagane ) tell me that this door is the right one?
This somewhat complicated question made Izumo Kamizuki ponder for a moment, and then he said:
He won't tell you that this door is the right one.
Upon hearing the answer, Naoki Senju immediately pushed open the large door on the left—this time, it was the real door!
Following closely behind was Tenten, who, following the method taught by Naoki Senju, pointed to the large door on the left and asked Izumo Kamizuki again:
Will he tell me that this is the right door?
Ibiki's test has been solved... Izumo Kamizuki pondered for a moment and said:
He will tell you that this door is the right one.
Tenten thought about it for a moment, then pushed open the door on the right, and it was the same decision!
Neji, had already figured out the flaw in the test. He gave a few instructions to Rock Lee, who was still completely confused, and let Rock Lee ask the questions while Neji guided Rock Lee on which door to push. After all, the rules didn't prohibit helping.
