Although the flaws in this test were still not very clear, with four examples laid out before them, even if it was just imitation, others gradually opened the correct door.
Temari, the daughter of the Fourth Kazekage of Sunagakure, had long seen through the flaws in this test, but her method required asking two questions at the same time, rather than combining the two questions into one like the ninja from Konoha.
"If you choose the wrong door, the person asking the question is the one who tells the truth, and the ultimate goal is the person lying, the answer will inevitably be 'He will tell you that this door is the right one.' The same applies if the two people switch roles, so you just need to choose the other door."
"If you've chosen the right door, then under these circumstances, all the answers you'll get will inevitably be, 'He won't tell you that this door is the right one,' so you just need to stick to your choice."
"To find the perfect solution in such a short time... this Konoha Ninja is quite interesting."
Temari, who had previously held Konoha in contempt, felt challenged for the first time. This person would definitely be a major enemy of Sunagakure in the future, and she had to take this opportunity to eliminate him!
Thinking of this, Temari glanced at Gaara, who remained indifferent and uncaring about everything around him. In a Chunin Ninja Exams, with Gaara's immense strength, he would have countless opportunities to kill a Genin!
The premise is that he is willing to cooperate...
"Sigh~"
Temari sighed, feeling helpless with her younger brother who was extremely powerful, almost monstrous, and also incredibly willful.
"There are a total of twenty-eight teams and eighty-one members qualified to participate in this Chunin Ninja Exams, and four have already been eliminated."
Besides the two who were eliminated at the beginning, there were two others who were so stupid that they pushed the wrong door even with the help of their teammates and failed to enter the examination room for the first exam.
In just the first small test, four candidates for the Chunin Ninja Exams were eliminated, but Ibiki Morino wasn't entirely satisfied. He had expected this test to eliminate more than ten; it seemed there were some truly remarkable individuals among these candidates...
The remaining 81 students were divided into two classrooms for the exam. Unfortunately, Team 3 was forced to split up, with Neji and Naoki in one exam room and Tenten and Rock Lee in the other.
Without Ibiki Morino giving the order, the Chunin had already begun distributing the exam papers, one after another, papers that were beyond the scope of Genin knowledge, to each examinee.
Then the Chunin sat upright in their seats, their eyes scanning the examinees in the examination room.
That's practically saying outright: Don't even think about cheating, we're watching you!
After seeing the exam questions, another wave of groans erupted. Could these genin (low-ranking ninja) really Genin answer such advanced questions?
Are these coded messages really Genin could access?! And the questions involve chemicals and poisons—aside from medical-nin, nobody else would ever touch them!!!
"Regardless of how you passed the first test, now that you're sitting here, I expect you to accept the test like a true ninja. Anyone who shamefully cheats will bring about their own destruction. Remember that!"
When cheating was mentioned, many candidates nervously glanced around, their eyes meeting the murderous gaze of the Chunin proctor, instantly sending a chill down their spines.
Seemingly sensing what the examinees were thinking, a Chunin bandages wrapped around his head grinned and said in a terrifying voice:
"I'll be watching you closely~"
The examiner Ibiki Morino, wrote and drew on the blackboard with chalk, and then said:
"This exam consists of ten questions. One point will be deducted for each wrong answer. The last question will be revealed after 45 minutes of the exam. The exam uses a total score system, meaning the scores of all three team members are added together. Teams with fewer than three members will be automatically eliminated, and for teams with more than three members, the highest score will be removed..."
Before Ibiki Morino could finish speaking, a candidate slammed his hand on the table and stood up excitedly.
"Why should we? That was their mistake, what does it have to do with us? We don't agree to withdraw from the exam!"
But the next second, this arrogant examinee was Chunin by the neck and lifted up by a Chunin, struggling helplessly in the air.
"Why should we? Because we are the examiners, we are the rules! Obeying the rules is the only thing you need to do."
After the examinee was dragged out of the examination room, the other missing teams also voluntarily withdrew. These Chunin were too powerful for them to resist.
Following the elimination of the previous four, eight more were eliminated, bringing the total number of teams that had completed their Chunin Ninja Exams Chunin Ninja Exams journey to four before it even began.
As for teams with more than three members, removing the highest scorer is obviously aimed at whoever it is... Otherwise, the total score of four members would almost certainly secure first place.
"Since the teams that didn't qualify have already withdrawn, let's continue explaining the rules. In addition to deducting one point for each wrong answer, two points will be deducted for each instance of cheating. The total score is ten points. Once all points are deducted, the team is eliminated, and the other two members of the team will also be eliminated."
"Now, the first session of the Chunin Ninja Exams officially begins!"
The strict rules and the questions beyond the syllabus may have temporarily dampened the students' morale, but many of them have already realized the 'loopholes' or the true intentions of the question setters.
Cheating should result in immediate elimination, but the rules only deduct two points. Cheating is strictly prohibited, yet the punishment is so lenient, it's hard not to make test takers suspicious.
To verify his idea, Neji activated his Byakugan and secretly peeked at the surrounding exam papers. He quickly discovered the Genin disguised as Chunin. Their Chakra reserves, which far Genin, and the traces of Transformation Technique immediately betrayed them.
After confirming that the proctoring Chunin not judged him to be cheating, Neji relieved and began copying the answers. At the same time, he couldn't help but worry about the scores of the other three. Even if he got a perfect score, the highest score in the four-person team would have to be removed, and in the end, it would still depend on their scores.
Naoki from the Senju Clan will surely see through the purpose of this exam. Hopefully, Tenten and Rock Lee can also find the right way to cheat...
In another examination room, Tenten used wires to hang several mirrors from the light bulbs, successfully obtaining the correct answer by utilizing the principle of mirror reflection.
At the same time, the steel wire was pulled, and the sunlight was reflected by the mirror, reminding Rock Lee to look at the answer above his head.
Naoki Senju was probably the only one in the exam room who wasn't in a hurry. Since the proctor was Ibiki Morino, the last question would definitely be a test of courage when carrying out a mission, so the answers to the previous questions weren't that important.
Instead of wasting time like this, one might as well get some sleep. Princess Tsunade, having tasted the sweetness of life, keeps herself up until midnight Tenten, and she looks radiant. Meanwhile, Naoki Senju's sleep time has been squeezed... Sigh, this is truly a suffering no ordinary person could endure!
