Chapter 321 The Second Chunin Exams
The Chunin Exams are supposed to invite other ninja villages, officially to foster friendship among nations.
The real purpose was to showcase their strength and to assess the ninja skill levels of different countries.
However, the Uchiha clan rose to power and defeated the Hidden Cloud Village, Hidden Stone Village, and Hidden Sand Village.
Wuyin is too far away; they won't come unless they're specifically invited.
So for the past two years, Konoha has been handling things on its own.
It would be perfect to change it to an annual event, as the number of participants would be about the same.
Most of the people taking the exam were young people, and the classroom was noisy.
With a whoosh, the classroom door opened.
Chiyo, whose hair had turned black and white, walked in, followed by several Uchiha teachers.
In addition, there are Anko, Kakashi, and others.
As the most prominent figure in Konoha in the past two years, Chiyo's fame goes without saying.
Besides being the strongest ninja in the world, he is also the principal of Konoha and an advisor elder of Konoha.
As soon as he entered the classroom, the entire classroom fell silent.
Chiyo scanned the entire audience, ignoring Karin waving as she did so.
"I am Uchiha Chiyo, the chief examiner for this exam."
"First, the rules will be issued: anyone who engages in a private fight without the examiner's permission will be disqualified."
Since they're from the same village, the chances of a fight breaking out are relatively small, but these things need to be agreed upon beforehand.
"The exam is divided into two parts: a written test and a field practice test."
"Those who pass the field combat test will be paired up for a final battle, and the final selection for promotion to Chunin will be based on their overall scores."
After briefly explaining the rules, Qianyao announced:
"Let's begin the first round of the Chunin Selection Exams now."
"Submit your application form, receive your number tag, and sit in your assigned classroom seat according to your number. Next, the written test papers will be distributed."
The candidates quickly completed the above step and were then assigned to different classrooms.
The Uchiha team leaders, along with Kakashi, Anko, and others, distributed the test papers.
The exam content on the test paper was similar to that in the original timeline, and it was also quite difficult.
"The written test consists of ten questions, each worth one point. One point will be deducted for each wrong answer or no answer."
"Exam scores will be based on the total score for each group..."
What Qianyao read next was similar to what happened in the original timeline.
This refers to the penalty points for cheating.
The pressure of the Uchiha clan, with their Sharingan activated to check if you're cheating, is unimaginable.
However, apart from the smallest group of elite students, none of the other genin here are taking the exam for the first time.
Everyone knows this is a test of everyone's intelligence gathering ability.
The students in the elite class quickly realized what was happening and began using various abilities to cheat.
Sasuke's Sharingan, Hinata's and Neji's Byakugan go without saying.
Kiba placed Akamaru on his head and barked openly, since no one else could understand dog language except him.
Gaara uses the Eye of Sand, Ino uses the Heart Turn, and Shino uses the Insect.
Shikamaru used the Shadow Imitation Technique to directly connect with the examinee's shadow and copy it in reverse.
Hydrangea didn't have a suitable cheat ninjutsu, but Shino's insects still gave her a free ride.
Kimimaro was strong in combat, but he was somewhat lacking in academics.
However, with his hands clasped together, a mirror inside revealed the white rolled-up paper.
This is using Haku's Ice Release technique.
Tenten hadn't prepared anything to cheat on during her first Chunin Exam, so she had to bite the bullet and write whatever came to mind.
Although Naruto here is not ignorant, the questions here are not meant to be answered directly.
Naruto didn't make many dishes either, and neither did Hotaru, Karin, and the others.
He hadn't solved many problems and his face was full of bitterness.
"Number 45 has lost his right to take the exam..."
"Number 23 has lost his right to take the exam..."
"Number 17 has lost his right to take the exam..."
After a series of broadcasts, everyone was under immense pressure.
Of course, there aren't any really bad questions like the last one after 45 minutes here.
The exam lasts for one hour.
Most of the proctors were from the Uchiha clan, while Anko and Kakashi were specially transferred by Chiyo.
Anko has been living a somewhat decadent life for the past two years. With her weak heart, she has never been able to accept the dark side of Konoha.
They were immersed in a false peace.
Orochimaru is very busy every day and doesn't have time to take care of Anko.
Qianyao asking Hongdou to help out is essentially giving her a job; otherwise, Hongdou would be practically dying of boredom at home.
The Third Hokage is now preparing to take action. Kakashi's mission is over, so Chiyo has called Kakashi over to help.
The exams are over. The first exam eliminated about thirty people, leaving more than seventy.
The elite class students were all there, but a few of them only did two or three questions. Although they weren't caught cheating, it's hard to say how many points they got.
Qianyao didn't mind and, while having his clansmen collect the exam papers, announced the location of the afternoon's exam.
The 44th training ground, also known as the Death Forest.
……
The Forest of Death.
Beneath a giant tree root, there was a pit, disguised so that no one knew there was a passage leading underground.
Zen-empty, Sarutobi Sekishu waited quietly.
Soon, an ANBU member leaped in from outside: "Lord Shizhou, the first exam is over."
"Naruto will arrive at the Forest of Death this afternoon."
"We have already found out who the Hyuga clan is monitoring the Nine-Tails."
"After Naruto enters the Forest of Death, we will attack them to create an opportunity for the adults."
It would be a lie to say that Shi Zhou wasn't nervous, after all, the Uchiha clan was no pushover, and this matter itself was extremely risky.
If we're not careful, the Third Hokage and the Uchiha clan could clash prematurely.
In the current situation, waiting is just waiting to die.
Hiruzen Sarutobi never sits idly by and waits to die; he always fights to the death.
"I understand. You can go now. Let me know as soon as you have any information."
"Yes!" The figure from the Dark Division vanished in a flash.
Zen Kong calmly said, "Benefactor, your mind is in turmoil."
Sarutobi Sekishu swallowed unconsciously, and seeing that Zenku was not nervous at all, his mood gradually calmed down.
"Master Chankong, may I imprison the Nine-Tailed Demon Beast?"
Zen Kong twirled his prayer beads: "After being imprisoned in the body for the first time, the monster's consciousness will be in a state of chaos, unable to communicate or interact."
"If the power of the imprisoned monsters is abused at this time, it will corrupt the mind."
"As long as the power of the magical beasts is not abused during this period, there is absolutely no problem in imprisoning them."
There are no records of Jinchūriki in the Sarutobi clan, so at this time he believed whatever Zenku said.
Of course, given the Third Hokage's caution, he had considered the possibility that Zenku might simply take the Nine-Tails away.
But in the current situation, it's better for Kurama to be taken away than to obey the Uchiha.
Shi Zhou suppressed his unease: "Then I'll have to trouble you, Master."
