Konoha's Master of Illusion

Chapter 38
Morino Ihiki stood on the podium, coughed twice and cleared his throat, looking at the many genin who were staring at him:

"Konoha is a special ninja, Morino Ibiki, next will be the examiners of the first exam."

When he spoke, two long, ugly centipede-like scars undulated with the movements of his lips, twisting and turning like living creatures.

"The first exam is a written exam, which mainly tests your mastery of theoretical knowledge. Of course, because it is a chuunin exam, the difficulty is different from that in a ninja school."

"Everyone's name is marked on the table, and the seats have been arranged. I give you 1 minute, and it will start immediately after 1 minute!"

After a burst of commotion.

The Konoha Torture Department ninjas in black handed out the written test papers one by one along the aisle. Tetsuya took a closer look after receiving them and found that they were indeed somewhat difficult.

If I remember correctly, the setting of this set of papers meant that none of the candidates present could answer all of them correctly. Is the top student Sakura an exception?I don't remember much
In short, there are actually a few torture department ninjas among the candidates who write down the correct answers, and provide everyone with a standard answer that can be copied.

The so-called test of the ninja's intelligence gathering abilities.

Zhe didn't intend to cheat, because he actually knew these things, so there was no need to copy the answers.Ibiki couldn't just say he failed because he didn't plagiarize, as long as he answered correctly.

When the written examination was in progress, the instructors of the genin gathered in an open space outside the classroom building.

They were originally tasked with guiding. They seemed quite free at this time. Kakashi was squatting under a tree and concentrating on reading the text. Kurenai was sitting on the swing and flirting with Aska who was standing beside him.Of course, they don't actually have much free time. For example, among Kakashi's three disciples, excluding the Uchiha orphans, there is also the extremely important Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki. If there is an emergency, Kakashi must arrive in time.

Of course, he would not follow the whole process. The entire examination process was under the supervision of Konoha ninjas, including inside the Death Forest.

A sharp sound broke through the air, followed by an impassioned roar:

"Kakashi! Let's have our fateful duel!"

Metkai flew up and kicked in front of Kakashi. His kick missed and left an inch-deep shoe sole mark on the tree. The big watermelon-piped head twisted around to search, and finally looked at the leafy crown of the tree:

"do not run!"

He instantly disappeared on the spot, his strong force directly cracking the rammed earth beneath his feet, and his whole body swept up like a rocket, destroying the branches and green leaves of the poor tree along the way.

Kakashi has already come behind Hong in an instant, staring listlessly with dead fish eyes:
"I'm busy."

Akai, who landed on the ground, picked off the broken leaves and branches above his head and complained:

"How cold, Kakashi, do you really like to avoid a duel with me?"

"It's just a nuisance."

After seeing Kakashi using Kurenai and Asuma as a shield, Akai couldn't help but kick him out and gave up the idea of ​​another fight today:

"Speaking of which, will the genin class you lead take the chunin exam in the first year? Isn't it too early? You must know that my three disciples are so strong. When they just graduated last year, I suggested that they wait a little longer. Year!"

Asuma lit a cigarette for himself, puffed out smoke and said:
"Well, the three boys under me are cooperating quite well. Besides, Shikamaru also needs some motivation. The Chuunin Exam is a good occasion."

"As for Tetsuya and the others, I also hope they can grow more in this exam."

Kakashi was left in the end. He raised his head from the book and said calmly:
"I just hope they can learn to cooperate better. The trials in the Forest of Death were very good. I will look forward to the results."

When the four of them were chatting, the first written test had ended. Putting aside the interludes, a total of 26 groups had passed except for the team that gave up because of the last question.

After Mitarai Anko made her embarrassing appearance, 78 genin followed her outside the Death Forest.

Naruto was taught a lesson by Anko for playing tricks. After Orochimaru became interested and interacted with his apprentice, the door into the forest of death opened and Class [-] got an Earth Scroll.

Zheya did his duty and put the scroll directly into his arms.

After entering the forest, Hinata was the first to ask:
"What should we do? If we want to find a Scroll of Heaven."

"It's very simple. We just go directly to the central tower." Zheye looked at the map to confirm the direction and decided directly: "If you meet other teams on the way, you might be able to get the Sky Scroll directly. Even if you can't, you just need to Just wait and wait at the door."

Shino nodded slightly: "Yes, there is plenty of time for the second round of exams, three full days."

Tetsuya looked at Hinata, asking for her opinion.

Seeing her nod, Team [-] immediately adjusted their direction and headed straight towards the center of the Death Forest. Along the way, Tetsuya was mentally anticipating the possible dangers that might arise next.

Among the candidates, the strongest one is undoubtedly Gaara, followed by Neji, Xiao Li, and then Sasuke who has not yet learned the Chidori.Among them, the real threat is definitely Gaara. He has the sand control technique that is both offensive and defensive. If he doesn't rely on sneak attacks and uses illusions, he may be beaten.

As for the candidates, there are Orochimaru and Yakushi Kabuto.

However, everyone's attention should be all on Sasuke. The attraction of the Sharingan is much stronger than that of himself, an illusion genius. He doesn't think Orochimaru, who wants a perfect body, will come to him first.In order to avoid being found after Sasuke, Tetsuya proposed to go directly to the central tower.

There are many jounin in Konoha there, and Orochimaru will most likely not approach there, and even if he goes there, he won't want to make a big fuss.

A group of three people arrived at the central tower in less than an hour.

The Konoha ninjas who were watching the surveillance were shocked. After so many Chunin exams, they had never seen a genin team arrive at their destination so early. Then they discovered that the three of them did not enter the tower, but were chatting at the door. , and gradually understood their strategy.

"Good guys, these three are so confident in their own strength? Do you want to wait here and wait?"

In the eyes of others, this behavior is indeed a bit arrogant.The ninja who can get the required scrolls at the very beginning and go to the central tower to pass the second level will definitely not be an ordinary person. If he comes to the door here in advance and waits, he will definitely bump into the one who ranks among the strongest in this exam. Several teams.

Tetsuya leaned against the wall of the tower and looked at the primitive forest with thick trees in front of him, wondering if this place was created by the First Hokage's Wood Release.However, since he has read many fan novels, he can't remember whether this statement exists in the original work or is made up by fans.

After all, Konoha Village really fits the name, with vast expanses of forest everywhere.

Hinata was boredly considering whether to take out the lunch box she brought and share it with her teammates. Although it would still be some time before lunch, she was indeed a little hungry.But thinking about it carefully, it seems not very good. What if it is discovered that I am a big eater?It's better to endure it, you won't starve to death even if you wait two hours for lunch.

Suddenly, she stood up straight and reminded her teammates:

"There's someone! Judging by the appearance and forehead protector, it's the Sunagakure ninja!"

There will be no one who arrives here except for Gaara’s Sand Hidden Squad, Tetsuya said directly:

"Don't worry about them, we'll just wait for the next wave of people."

If you're not sure whether you can survive the fight, you don't have to fight. Normally at times like this, you'd be decisive and avoid letting people in without causing trouble.

Both Hinata and Shino relaxed.

They did not block the door from the beginning, but waited against the wall about ten meters to the right of the door, so the three of Gaara entered the tower without encountering each other face to face.

"Tetsuya, them"

Without Hinata's special reminder, Tetsuya had already noticed that they stayed at the door for a few seconds, during which Temari seemed to say a few words, her voice was very low and difficult to distinguish, and then Gaara nodded and took the lead to turn towards them.

Zhe also took a step forward with a smile on his face:

"We meet again, any advice?"
