Shadow of the Wood

Chapter 54 written test

"You scum, stop arguing!"

Just as Toss, Zac, and Jin were confronting Yao Shidou and Konoha Shinobi Class [-] and Class [-], there was a slight explosion sound suddenly on the podium at the innermost side of the classroom, followed by a large cloud of smoke. It rose, covering the podium, and at the same time, a deep and mellow voice came from the smoke and reached the ears of many candidates in the classroom.

"what happened!?"

The sudden explosion and smoke surprised the ninjas near the podium. After the smoke gradually cleared, the podium was already full of ninjas wearing Konoha forehead guards and straight uniforms, except for the leader who was wearing A middle-aged man in a black coat, with scars all over his face, and other ninjas dressed in the same clothes, all put their hands behind their backs, and looked at the candidates in the classroom expressionlessly. Combined with the previous appearance, it was full of oppression.

After all, the examinees of ninja villages, including Konoha Village, are basically outstanding elites in each village. They may not be convinced by the senior ninjas of other villages. In action, there may be a lot of trouble.

"Keep you waiting for a long time." Wearing a black coat, with a few scary scars on his face, the Konoha ninja standing in the front, with the corners of his mouth drawn, seemed to want to show a smile, but matched with the scars on his face, he made People shuddered, and said at this time: "I am the 'Chunin Selection Exam', the chief examiner of the first exam, Morino Ibiki."

As Morinoi Hibiki said, he suddenly raised his right hand and pointed to the gate. This action surprised many candidates in this direction. Some of the candidates with poor mental quality even saw sweat on their foreheads.

"The three ninjas of Otoshi Village, messed around before the exam, do you want to lose the qualification for the exam!" Morino Ibiki said to the two groups of people who were confronting each other, especially Toss and other three Otoshi.

"I'm really sorry." Seeing that Sac was unwilling, Jin hurriedly stepped forward to pull him. Seeing this, Toss quickly said to Morino Ibiki: "We are here for the first time to take the exam, and we are a little excited."

Sen Nai was more than happy to see the other party softened, sneered, and then said: "I will take this opportunity to make it clear!"

"You can't start a fight without the invigilator's permission. Even if you get permission, you can't kill each other!" Morino Ibiki glanced around at the many candidates in the classroom, and the ninjas who made eye contact with him They all turned their eyes away one by one: "Anyone who dares to disobey our invigilator will immediately lose the qualification of the exam, understand!"

Hearing that Morino Ibiki said that you can't kill your opponent in battle, Sac couldn't help but whispered with disdain: "This exam is too easy!"

"Then, let's start the first exam of the Chunin selection exam now." Seeing that the candidates in the classroom began to quiet down, Morinoi Yibixi nodded in satisfaction and said, "You all hand in the application forms in order. , use this to get the seat number plate, according to the number to specify the seat, we will issue the test paper for the next trial."

"There is really a written test!" Choji lamented after hearing Morino Ibiki's words. His grades in the ninja school were also very poor, especially the theoretical knowledge was weak, although Shikamaru had already guessed that there might be Written test, but until then he completely despaired.

"Don't be depressed, Dhoji!" Ino turned his head to observe the surroundings, put his index finger in front of his mouth, signaled Dingci to keep silent, then poked his head over and said in a low voice, "We can cheat in the written test!"

"Yes, great genius! The two of us will depend on you!" After comforting Choji, Ino made a playful grimace at Shikamaru and said with a smile.

Seeing this, Shikamaru chuckled and nodded, confirming Ino's thoughts.

…………

After receiving the numbers, Shikamaru, Ino, and Choji separated one by one, went to their respective seats to complete the work, and watched Konoha Ninja, who was the invigilator, hand out the test papers with the back side up to each candidate's desktop.

Shikamaru didn't have a familiar Genin around him, and he had never seen a few candidates with Konoha forehead guards, but he didn't care about it.

After the test papers of all the candidates were handed out, Morino Ibiki tapped the blackboard hard, and after attracting the attention of many candidates, he said, "You are not allowed to answer the test papers yet, and you are not allowed to turn the test papers over!"

"There are some important regulations for this exam, and I will write them down on the blackboard one by one," Morino Ibiki said here, pointing at the candidates, and demanded with a blank expression: "You are not allowed to ask questions during this period. , remember it for me!"

The purpose of this exam, in addition to testing the knowledge of many candidates, is more importantly to test the ability to collect intelligence. Most of the information obtained is secretly or passively. It may be just a sentence, a simple confidence, a ninja will Without a chance to ask in detail, you need to rely on your own logical thinking ability to analyze and find the hidden information. If a candidate cannot even find the information in the exam regulations, he will naturally be disqualified to continue.

"Article [-] stipulates that this test will be conducted with deduction of marks. Each person has a total of ten points, and there are ten test questions in the test paper. That is to say, one point is deducted for each wrong question. "Mori Hibiki wrote the content on the blackboard without looking back, obviously the same as what he said before, and he was not prepared to pay attention to the questions that the candidates might have: "The second rule, the test results, take The total score of the team is calculated, and the result is judged by the total score of the written test results of the three-person team, so as to compete!"

"Wait, wait a minute!" When Morino Ibiki mentioned the second rule, thinking of Naruto's appalling theoretical level, Sakura finally couldn't maintain her calm and relaxed attitude towards the written test, and quickly raised her hand and asked, "Why should Use the team's total points to compete!"

"I don't like to repeat what I've already said," Morino Ibiki said without knowing it. Although he couldn't see the expression clearly, there was a hint of impatience in his tone: "Do you want to be disqualified from the exam!"

Ignoring the depressed Sakura, Morino Ibiki continued: "Then comes the third most important rule!"

"If you engage in some strange behavior during the exam—such as cheating, or be deemed cheating by the invigilator," Morino Ibiki smiled slightly, but because his back was facing the examinee, no one noticed , and continued: "If this kind of behavior is caught by the invigilator once, two points will be deducted. If the points are deducted, I will get out of the examination room!"

"Remember it." After writing all three rules on the blackboard, Ibiki Morino turned around with a sneer, faced the candidates, and said, "Cheating stupidly is killing yourself. If you want to become a Chunin, you must have actions worthy of the title of 'ninja'!"

"Oh, that's right." Morino Ibiki seemed to have just thought of a rule, and said: "Those who have been deducted all points for cheating, or who have zero points at the end of the exam, as well as the class to which they belong, will lose the exam." qualifications!"

…………

After Hibiki Morino explained the exam time and gave the order to start the exam, there was a sound of paper rubbing in the classroom.

Shikamaru turned over the examination paper, glanced roughly at one side, and couldn't help letting out a sigh of relief.

The first question is cryptography, not only to interpret the ciphers, but also to find out the rules, and then simply write down a small thing to recompose a set of ciphers with this rule.

The subsequent exam questions include trap making, environmental analysis, spy interrogation, tracking and anti-tracking, and making false appearances... Although there are only nine questions, it has covered almost all the key theoretical knowledge learned in ninja school. A simple trap making exam question , it involves mechanics, logical thinking, psychological analysis, and even complicated calculation formulas. You know, there is no such thing here, and straw paper is not allowed. Mental calculations must be used to solve problems!

The difficulty of this kind of examination questions is that at this time, mental calculations must be used to calculate and deduce. The ninjas cannot use actions to measure as usual, or use straw paper to calculate repeatedly.

"It's really forcing people to cheat!" Shikamaru sighed in a low voice, and looked at the invigilator sitting not far away, who turned out to be an acquaintance Kagamizuki Izumo, but it was impossible for Shikamaru to rely on this set of favors. And he doesn't need to cheat either.

In fact, these exam questions can be answered fluently by Haruno Sakura in the original book. It can be seen that they are all theoretical knowledge learned in the ninja school. Shikamaru was a high-achieving student in his previous life. Can't help him.

Ninjas are elite arms, and fighting head-on is just one of many duties. It is possible to squeeze warriors and other war professions and arms to the point of losing their living space, relying on the diversification of abilities, combat, intelligence collection and transmission. , espionage, interrogation, tracking..., everything, as long as it is related to war, almost everything is included. This is also one of the reasons why ninjas are rare except for physical reasons.

Shikamaru thought in his heart that there was something wrong with the seats of the three people in the tenth class. His seat was the most rearward, Ino was in front of him, and Choji was between the two, obliquely in front of Shikamaru. , Ino will not be able to use the body-mind conversion technique to memorize Shikamaru's answer, and then cheat for Choji, Ino does not need to worry, as long as he finds someone in front of him who can write the answer fluently, he can use the secret technique, but Choji can only Relying on Shikamaru for help.

Shikamaru secretly made seals, and used the shadow imitation technique to pull the chakra-changed shadow into a slender black shadow. After avoiding several candidates, he controlled the shadow and connected it to Choji's feet.

"This is Shikamaru's ninjutsu!?" Choji, who was scratching his head for the seat and the test questions, froze. He watched his body ignore the instructions from his brain and acted alone. First, he straightened the test paper to his body Before he picked up the pen, he paused for a while, and began to write the answer smoothly.

Seeing that these extremely difficult exam questions were successfully answered one by one under the pen, Choji's nervous expression relaxed slightly, and he was finally convinced that it was Shikamaru who was using the shadow imitation technique to control his body.

"It seems that I can pass the written test with full marks!"
