Chapter 38 Surviving the Danger
Unlike most genin candidates, Daimaru's mind was no longer on whether to answer the question.
He made a show of hesitation that he would no longer cause trouble, just to cover it up and not to expose his true thoughts, not to let people suspect that he already knew the rules of the exam and the method to pass the first written test, so as to prepare himself for the Chunin exam. Everything you have done and done since then will have a beginning and an end.
Daimaru didn't dare to doubt the ninja's subtle observation ability.
Under the observation of more than a hundred pairs of eyes, any abnormality will be infinitely magnified.
Taking the risk of using genjutsu to indirectly attack Yamanaka Ino to delay and save Kankuro, Temari and Gaara's team has gone too far.
Morino Ihiki is the elite of the torture unit and a true master of playing with people's hearts. Daimaru does not dare to reveal any unnecessary flaws when he is already being targeted.
No matter how much more you do, you will only lose more than you gain.
Ninjas are not good gentlemen who follow the rules. As soon as Daimaru made a move and disrupted the order of the examination room, Morino Ihiki immediately announced a change in the rules.
Such a style of breaking promises and fattening up to achieve his goals taught Daimaru a good lesson.
As long as the mission can be completed, ninjas will not pay attention to some rules.
The official purpose of this joint chuunin exam is to select outstanding chuunin. The first exam is to select qualified candidates to send to the next round. The invigilator actually doesn't care much about the exam rules and passing standards. , just kick out those who are obviously too useless, and leave the rest of the screening to the examiner of the next session.
Because of Daimaru, the order in the examination room was too chaotic, but it did not affect the overall situation, so it was not targeted for the time being.
As long as Daimaru's performance is worthy of participating in the next test in the Forest of Death, there will be no big problem.
However, once someone commits an act that is not consistent with the behavior of a ninja, such as directly attacking other candidates, or being suspected of knowing the test questions in advance, the next Chuunin exam will probably have nothing to do with Daimaru, Yami, and Chi.
Before I knew it, it was already past four-twenty, and the written test was about to end in less than ten minutes.
"There are twenty-six groups left!" 』
From Yami, Daimaru could tell how many people were left in the examination room even without looking up.
The total number of people who participated in the Chuunin Exams has not changed in my memory, but Suna Ninja has three genin teams. Due to Daimaru's influence, they were replaced by stronger teams of Yuno, Shishio and Koji, Saya, Shana and Murasaki, and Daimaru. , Yemu and Qian's Sound Wind Team.
At present, the team of Yuno, Shishio and Koji have been eliminated, and the remaining Saya team and Nekaze team are still holding on.
With the addition of two unexpected genin teams, the number of people who passed the exam was already the same as in memory. In other words, at least two groups of genin teams that were supposed to pass the first test had already returned home early.
The exam is not over yet, and some people may not be able to withstand the pressure and quit.
"Uzumaki Naruto hasn't pounded the table yet, but it should be almost there!" 』
While Daimaru was still looking forward to it, a Konoha genin named Fangzheng who was sitting near Uzumaki Naruto raised his hand and announced his withdrawal.
The shocked Uzumaki Naruto struggled and slowly raised his hand.
"finished? Twenty-five genin teams qualified! what a pity……"
After hesitating for a while, Nara Shikamaru still didn't choose to quit. While Daimaru was disappointed, he was also somewhat impressed.
Being in a new place, Daimaru couldn't guarantee that he could persevere to the end.
Of course, Uzumaki Naruto also made great contributions. If his declaration of never quitting had not strengthened the confidence of the remaining people, the results might have been different.
Sure enough, Uzumaki Naruto made a big fuss. Morino Ihiki once again confirmed his intention not to quit. He looked at the candidates present and felt that there would probably be no change if he delayed it any longer, so he announced generously. First test results:
"To all of you present, congratulations, you have all passed."
The shocking results stunned all the candidates with different thoughts, but it was Naruto Uzumaki who was the first to react and started cheering loudly.
"You...don't you have anything to ask?"
Morino Hiki showed what she thought was a bright smile, but it actually made the scars on her face even more hideous and terrifying.
Most of the candidates seemed to have been hollowed out physically and mentally exhausted to the point where they had almost lost their curiosity.
Only a few teams that have finished answering the questions may be a little unconvinced, and the rest can only feel lucky.
"Why do you say that?"
Passing the written test is always a good thing, but such unclear results make people a little unhappy.
Haruno Sakura was the first to ask questions, and Sand Ninja Temari also expressed dissatisfaction, feeling that the previous exam was almost meaningless and the qualifying conditions were too childish.
After stopping the whispers of the candidates, Morino Ihiki pulled down her headscarf, revealing a head covered with terrible scars left by torture, causing the candidates present to suddenly lose their voices.
“After this written test, I think all of you here have some experience!
The dangers of the ninja world will not be exposed until you are promoted to chunin, so the cruel truth will be revealed, so think more about the consequences of mission failure. "
After wrapping the headscarf again, the examiner Morino Ihiki continued:
"At the very beginning of this written test, I have told you the test rules. After seeing the test questions that are completely beyond the genin's ability to answer, you should quickly realize the true meaning of this written test...
Yes, it is to test your ability to collect intelligence. Therefore, intelligence sources have been arranged for you to steal in the examination room..."
The examiner paused as he spoke. In the middle of the examination room, Konoha Chunin Ogata and Hayase, disguised as genin candidates, raised their hands and stood up.
Uzumaki Naruto, who knew nothing about this, was suddenly frightened. He felt a little embarrassed and was embarrassed to express it. He laughed and said some big words that no one believed.
"You have just experienced what will happen if your ability to judge and steal information is insufficient.
If you fail today, the most you can do is fail the Chuunin exam; if you fail in the mission, you'd better hope that you have died in battle. If you are captured, I don't need to say more about the miserable end..."
Morino Ihiki's awe-inspiring words reminded the candidates of the scarred head again.
"It is not meaningless to take the exam in groups of three and evaluate the scores comprehensively. This will allow you to experience the importance of trust, cooperation and will in advance.
In the future, you will encounter more dangerous difficulties in your missions than today, and face a series of problems such as insufficient strength, lack of intelligence, lack of team unity, interference from competitors, and so on! "
Especially the last point, Daimaru, who was the first to pierce the window paper, withstood the malice of almost all the genin candidates present.
"The first nine questions have eliminated the genin who lacked basic qualities, were not accurate enough in judgment, and were not decisive enough in action. The remaining ones at least have some merit...
In fact, there is no tenth question. If you insist on saying so, the choice between the two just now is the tenth question. It will screen out the guys who are not determined enough. This is the focus of this written test..."
It may seem a bit rash in the eyes of those who know it in advance, but for genin candidates who have little experience here, it is indeed one of the most important choices in their lives.
"When ninjas perform tasks, they are often under considerable pressure and face unimaginable difficulties, but this is not a reason to give up. Sometimes, information is more important than life, and it can only be obtained by fighting for one's life. thing.
Failure to obtain accurate information, or being misled by false information, may even cause tragic losses in which all the best members of one's own ninja village are killed in battle.
The enemy has insufficient intelligence and knows nothing about its numbers, capabilities, and armaments. It is very likely that it is a trap, and there is even a risk of captured companions being used as hostages, and being tortured to leak our intelligence..."
Ten minutes ago, the despair of knowing that there was a problem and knowing the solution, but being unable to do anything, and the torment of being eliminated due to reckless actions like giving up on themselves, suddenly came back to my mind.
"Even if this is the case, can a ninja choose not to accept the mission? At this time, showing courage to his companions, the ability and determination to work together to overcome difficulties, and to complete the mission even if it costs his life, this is the ninja we need.
A loser who cares about his life and puts his hope in the coming year, and whose heart is shaken, is not qualified to become a chuunin.
Those of you who chose to answer the questions got the most critical question right. I hope you will be able to face the difficulties in the future.
The first round of the Chunin Exam is over! "
The Chunin Exam is both a selection and an important experience. It is also the examiner's wish to eliminate the unqualified waste and allow the outstanding genin to reach a higher level.
"I wish you all good luck in your exams!"
