Shadow of the Wood

End of Chapter 56

Surprise, contempt, admiration, appreciation, sigh...

Shikamaru thoughtfully looked at the candidates around, including the expressions on the faces of many Chunin invigilators, but what is certain is that because of Morino Ibiki's words and threats, he deliberately The depressive and uneasy atmosphere created has disappeared without a trace. Because of Naruto's words, most of the examinees looked at this seemingly inconspicuous short Konoha Shinobu with interest. This may be the protagonist of the original work. Naruto's unique personality charm.

In the original book, Naruto was able to get the recognition and admiration of many people one by one. In addition to luck, it is also related to this character. Although he is always reckless, he has achieved a higher level than his peers in Konoha Village. achievement.

After all, Orochimaru and Danzo's character and behavior can win the diehards of a small number of people, but for most people, they will be jealous and fearful, but they will not support them as their leaders—— Because they are too dangerous and dark—maybe they have means and a cold and firm mind, but a qualified leader is not just about these two points. Personality charm, seemingly untouchable, is actually enough to make most The ability to convince the majority, to feel at ease, in other words, can bring benefits to the majority.

Dedicated, foolish and loyal subordinates who will never repent and rebel, and who give up their pursuit and personality, are rare to meet. If you want to control all your subordinates with this, and ask others to give blindly without giving, you will only get Hostility - "If the king treats his ministers like siblings, he will treat him like his heart; if he treats his ministers like dogs and horses, he will treat him like a countryman; if he treats his ministers like dirt, then he will treat him like a bandit.", previous life Mencius answered King Xuan of Qi's words very clearly. Even a monarch should not be too self-centered. Human beings are the most complicated animals and the most difficult to control.

For example, Junmaro also feels his own value because of Orochimaru's attention, so he is completely overwhelmed. As for Danzo, even Sai, who was trained and trained since childhood, cannot be relied on. It cannot be said that he failed extremely, but it is enough to show that this style of behavior has already I no longer adapt to today's ninja world. As an elite ninja, I have experienced perfect education, sufficient knowledge and independent personality. I am not an illiterate fool or a greenhouse flower with no social experience. I want to get a ninja It is no longer enough to use a mystical and militaristic attitude to conceal and make strong demands.

Through Naruto's performance, Shikamaru thought of so many things in a short period of time because of the experience of living in the world of Naruto for many years.

Shikamaru admires Orochimaru's obsession with "jutsu", as well as his resistance to the established facts, and admires Danzo's old and strong, but in the end, both of them want to become Hokage, but they are both unsuccessful. However, for a ninja who is determined to be Naruto, learning them is a dead end and has no merit.

In other words, the reason why Choji and Ino obeyed Shikamaru's words now is because of Shikamaru's correct decision-making all along, and the two people in his group also benefited from it, and there are no arrogant orders and requirements , otherwise, even if Shikamaru is No.1 in the ninja school, but both are ninja, Ino and Choji don't need to listen to his orders many times.

…………

The impact of Naruto's performance on the atmosphere in the examination room and the psychology of many candidates was naturally easily discovered by Morino Ibiki, who is an expert interrogator and has a superb grasp of people's hearts.

After a simple stalemate, the serious-looking Morino Ibiki saw Naruto with his arms crossed and a stubborn expression on his face. His tense and serious face suddenly softened. The Chunin invigilators sitting around the examination room also faced with a smile.

"Your choice is very good," Morinoi Hibiki smiled, although this time the smile was more kind, but for candidates who had already left such a cold and tough impression in their hearts, his smile seemed very The gloomy, seems to be satirizing Naruto: "Then all the candidates who stay here...."

Including Naruto who had a tough attitude before, all candidates stared nervously at Ibiki Morino, waiting for the result of the so-called "big gamble of a lifetime".

"I declare that you all passed the first exam!" After blurting out the words of Morino Ibiki, it did not make many candidates relax, but became more suspicious and surprised.

"What's going on here? We just passed it? What about the tenth question? Why didn't you come out!?" Ino, who was sitting in the front row, questioned Morino Ibiki in surprise.

"Actually, there is no tenth question at all." Ibiki Morino swept away the cold temperament before, and with a relaxed smile on his tough face, he said: "Or, the previous choice is the tenth question!"

"Then the nine questions before..." Sakura asked with a frown. She answered all the previous questions by herself, but she didn't think carefully about the hidden information between the rules, so she still had some doubts.

"The nine test questions are designed to test each of you's intelligence gathering capabilities." As if answering Sakura's doubts, Morino Ibiki said softly: "The key point of this test is to use the three-person team The scoring method based on the total score is to make you afraid that you will drag your companions back."

"But these exam questions are too complicated and advanced. As a result, many people only think of cheating. Simply put, this exam is to let you cheat and check your intelligence gathering ability!" Morino Ibiki As he spoke, he pointed to the two examinees who were wearing Konoha forehead guards in the examination room: "I deliberately selected two Chunin who can answer all the questions, and they will be among you as your sources of information."

"Clumsy idiots, of course we have to be eliminated, and it's for their own good." Morinoi Hibiki raised his hands, stretched them behind his head and slowly wrapped the forehead around his head, and said at the same time: "As a ninja, I only It’s just some small problems that need to be dealt with, there is no danger, even if you participate in the war, as the lowest ninja, you don’t have much information to interrogate, but after becoming a Chunin…”

The moment Morinoi Hihiki untied the forehead guard on her head, some female ninjas, including Ino and Sakura, who were more psychologically vulnerable, even exclaimed.

Burns, screw holes, knife scars, contusions... the horrible scars all over Morinoi Hibiki's head, one can tell at a glance the degree of inhuman torture he has suffered. Compared with the top of the head, it is nothing. The examinees who were a little relaxed because of Morino Ibiki's kind attitude before felt a little depressed.

Even with Shikamaru's mind, seeing the scar on Morino Ibiki's head, he frowned secretly. It is indeed admirable to survive this inhuman torture, and even return to Konoha to continue to be active as a ninja scary man.

"For ninjas, information is sometimes even more important than life, so when performing missions or on the battlefield, they often have to desperately steal information." Although Morinoi Bixi still had a kind smile on his face, but However, it was unable to relax the examinees. He didn't care about it, pointed to the scar on his finger, and continued: "But important information is often trapped in the enemy's heavy protection, and the ability is not enough. You will be discovered by stealing information from the enemy... then you will become the enemy's intelligence source, and you all know what is waiting for you!"

Naruto thought of being caught while stealing information, and then being tortured by Morino Ibiki, he couldn't help but shuddered, then looked at the other party, and found that Morino Ibiki had fastened his forehead again, and said at the same time: "And I want you to remember that sometimes when you make a mistake alone, it will not only implicate you personally—your companions, even the village, may suffer heavy losses. As a Chunin, you must become stronger than before , more mature, this is not only for yourself, but also to protect your subordinates and companions, as well as your homeland!"

"..."

Hiki Morinoi's voice fell behind, and the classroom seemed a little quiet. After a long time, Temari saw that Hiki Morinoi seemed to be specifically to answer the candidates' questions, so after hesitating for a while, he asked aloud: "What do I have to say about the last exam question?" , I still don’t understand the meaning.”

"The tenth question is the real purpose of this exam! In other words, it's about the test of courage." Morinoi Hibiki said slowly with a serious expression: "The choice of whether to take the exam or not is actually to face it and shrink back." choice. Even if the task is very dangerous, as a ninja, there are still reasons to have to perform it.”

"Because this information is likely to be the key to the direction of the battlefield and the basis for the village's victory!" Morino Ibiki glanced at the many candidates, and seeing that they were listening to his words seriously, nodded and said seriously : "As the team leader, the Chunin needs to give courage and confidence to his companions at this time, but in a critical moment, the waste who dare not fight hard and only retreats cannot do this! They have no qualifications to become Chunin at all! "

"Answer the tenth question correctly, you should be able to face the difficulties in the future, that is to say, you have already broken through the first level of the Chunin selection exam," Morino Ibiki said loudly to many candidates after a smile : "The written test is over, I hope you can work hard! Deal with the next..."

Hibiki Morino was talking, suddenly his expression tightened, and he squinted at the window next to the podium, where a black shadow was approaching quickly.

"Whoa!"

The black shadow smashed through the glass on the window without stopping, and rushed into the classroom. Ibiki Morino did not move, because he had already guessed who was coming at this time.

At this time, many candidates in the classroom were originally relaxed because of Morino Ibiki's previous closing declaration, but they became nervous again because of the sudden situation. They thought that the second exam would be held immediately. After all, Morino Ibiki cheated The tenth question of the formula left a deep impression on them.

When the black shadow reached the podium, it spread out suddenly, but it turned out to be a big black cloth. Two kunai flew out, entangled the two corners of the black cloth, and nailed it to the ceiling, just blocking the black cloth in front of Morino Ibiki , two lines of big characters in the letter—the examiner of the second exam, Mitarai Anko.
