Chapter 192 The Beginning of the Written Exam
"An S-rank mission?!"
Ya's jaw seemed to have fallen off as he stared blankly at Naruto, who was blushing shyly over there.
Although I know Naruto is very strong and has taken on many D-rank missions, how did he get that S-rank mission?!
"Didn't you go out on a Level C protection mission?"
Kiba couldn't understand what Naruto had been doing behind everyone's back!
"Did something happen during that escort mission?"
Shikamaru squinted at Naruto and asked.
Naruto nodded, but didn't explain what had happened.
"Awoo!"
At this moment, Akamaru suddenly jumped up, his body tense, staring intently at the doorway, and let out a series of low growls.
"Is there danger?"
Kiba immediately understood Akamaru's meaning. Everyone turned to look at the door, and then a figure that had just appeared on the sign appeared at the door.
"Hehehe."
Gaara smiled when he saw so many people staring at him, then gave Naruto a sinister look before walking to his position.
Temari and Kankuro completely ignored the Konoha members and followed Gaara to their positions.
"Then everyone, please go to your respective exam seats."
Seeing that almost everyone had arrived, and calculating that the examiners should be arriving soon, Dou said to everyone.
"oh."
Naruto nodded and walked with Hinata to their location.
The noise still echoed in the classroom until the door, which had just been closed, was slammed open by a foot.
"You little brats, shut up!"
A man with a scar on his face walked in, emanating a cold aura that frightened some of the lower-ranking ninjas.
Those with more experience and strength quieted down and looked at the man who called himself an instructor.
The man was wearing a black leather jacket over a Konoha Jonin vest, and a black hood over his head, with a Konoha headband underneath.
He is very tall, about 190cm, and looks extremely robust.
Ibi was pleased to see that things had quieted down, nodded in satisfaction, then walked to the podium in front of the classroom, cleared her throat, and began to speak.
"My name is Morino Ibiki, and I am the examiner for this exam."
Ibiki's voice was a little hoarse and gloomy. With his hands in his pockets, he leaned forward slightly and gave a fierce look to everyone present.
Judging from his posture alone, this man is terrifyingly strong.
"Before the exam begins, I have something to say."
Ibihi tapped the podium, making a loud thumping sound, and then continued speaking.
"The written test for this Chunin Exam is conducted in teams. If even one person in a team fails, the entire team will be eliminated."
As soon as he finished speaking, the students below the podium raised questions and began to discuss.
"No, why should I!"
"My teammate is stupid, why should I take the blame for him?"
"...."
"Quiet! There's one more thing."
Ibiki silenced the noisy examination hall with his powerful voice, and then continued.
"Those who are eliminated in this written exam will never have the chance to participate in the Chunin Exams again. In other words, they will always be just genin."
Unlike the previous commotion, the examination room fell into a deathly silence after those words were spoken.
"Hehe, if you want to quit, do it as early as possible. You can quit at any time during the exam, but if one person quits, the whole team will have to quit."
Ibiki revealed a sinister smile, then handed the exam paper in his hand to the Chunin examiners in the examination hall.
Before long, several people raised their hands and chose to surrender.
Their teammates were forced to leave with them, and their expressions were clearly grim.
"Is that all? Then let's start distributing the test papers."
Seeing that only a few people had left, Ibiki suddenly remembered that his own test paper hadn't been handed out yet, so he asked the Chunin examiners to start handing out the papers.
"What is this thing?!"
The student who received the test paper glanced at it and then let out a howl typical of a failing student.
Moreover, it wasn't just the underachievers; even many students who usually did well went crazy when they saw this test paper.
The first question is to decipher the following code, omitting a large amount of tadpole-like script that even Naruto has rarely seen.
The second question: The parabola in the figure represents the maximum range of Ninja A's shuriken from a tree seven meters high.
Predict and answer the question about the ellipse that Ninja A's shuriken can form, and describe the general characteristics of the ninja within the ellipse.
Question 3....
Naruto looked at the question in front of him and it seemed like he was seeing a genjutsu even more terrifying than Sasuke's Sharingan. He almost fell asleep instantly.
No, how do you even answer this kind of question?!
Parabola, ellipse, ninja characteristics.
Is there any connection between these individuals?
At this moment, a large group of students stood up and chose to leave.
Ibihi watched the departing people and nodded in satisfaction.
He originally intended to say at the end that being eliminated would mean losing his qualification for the Chunin Exams, but he changed his mind.
If you're going to play, play something exciting. Put pressure on them from the start, and make the tests difficult. People who aren't mentally strong simply won't be able to stick with it.
As a sadist, although he didn't want to admit it, this situation was incredibly exhilarating.
Subarashi.
"Listen up, if you are caught cheating five times, you will be eliminated, along with your teammates."
"Of course, the ban on the Chunin Exams mentioned earlier only applies to those who failed the final exam after submitting their papers. Those who forfeited or were eliminated beforehand are not included."
Ibixi thoughtfully added the rules for them.
Naruto studied it carefully for a while, and then decisively called out to Minato inside his stomach.
"Dad, no, help!"
Minato scratched his head, glanced at the question in front of Naruto, and his mind began to work at lightning speed.
I... am... a... Konoha ninja...
After looking at it for a while, Minato stiffly translated it, taking about half an hour to finish.
"Dad, time is running out!"
Naruto felt terrible writing one word per minute.
"Don't worry, I feel like this exam isn't going to be like that."
Minato rubbed his temples. Even he, the Fourth Hokage, had a hard time making this thing, so why would he let these students do it?
There must be a problem.
"Wait, didn't he just say that cheating five times would get you caught?"
Minato suddenly realized that he already had a guess in his mind.
"Naruto, this test should not only test theoretical knowledge, but also intelligence gathering."
Minato told Naruto his guess, and then fell silent.
On one hand, he wanted Naruto to grow on his own; on the other hand, he didn't want to look at that test paper anymore.
"To gather intelligence?"
Naruto touched his chin, then gently looked towards Hinata.
