Red sand dust

Nara Shikamaru, who carefully observed Yamanaka Ino's actions, thought that his teammates had succeeded at first, and was just waiting to enjoy the success.

Until another five minutes passed, Yamanaka Ino, who had used the secret technique Heart Turning Technique, had not yet woken up. Nara Shikamaru, who realized something was wrong, formed a seal with his hands and stretched out the shadow under his feet, and was about to rescue his comrades who were plotted against him.

Before the shadow could reach the place, a Senbon fell and was inserted into the tip of the shadow. Yunin Yumehuo, who pretended to accidentally drop the Senbon, looked at Nara Shikamaru, who had an unusually ugly face, with a half-smile.

Seeing this situation, Daimaru almost couldn't help laughing.

"The power of role models is indeed infinite. I just opened a door, and in the blink of an eye, people rushed in. 』

Not long after, the sand ninja Shishio who used the illusion formation wanted to help his teammate Koji, but Hyuga Neji, who was not far away, used his soft fist to break the sand camouflage from the air.

Taki Ninja Fangji, who noticed that the three Oto-nins were cheating on handwriting recognition by using the sound of writing, deliberately tapped the tip of the pen on the table and pretended to write, which made the three Oto-nins who had good ears suddenly go blind.

The examiner Morino Ibixi looked as usual, but she was extremely happy in her heart.

Originally, only the invigilator was watching, and sometimes he would turn a blind eye.

Now the candidates are trying to undermine each other, and the results are no longer completely under control.

"If it weren't for the last test question, there wouldn't be many people left in this Chunin exam. It's really..."

The candidates who were pretending to answer the questions showed their talents. At the same time, many people who couldn't restrain themselves were "invited" out of the examination room by the invigilator Chuunin.

The distraught Nara Shikamaru was thinking anxiously, but due to the circumstances, he had nothing to do.

"I'm careless. I underestimated the difficulty of the Chuunin exam. The alternative plan didn't take this situation into consideration." 』

The confused Akimichi Choji was still waiting for an answer, but he didn't know that his two teammates were already in trouble.

Nara Shikamaru has not yet figured out how Chi, the female ninja of Sunagakure Village, plotted against Ino Yamanaka. However, the mastermind behind the scenes is most likely her teammate, the arrogant Daimaru.

Time passes by, and the examination room becomes increasingly empty. With candidates on guard against each other, it becomes increasingly difficult to cheat.

After a while, Kankuro, who was a little out of breath, finally started to play his puppet show.

When Kankuro and the fake examiner puppet passed Daimaru side by side, he was frightened into a cold sweat by Daimaru's weird smile.

Kankuro, who came to the toilet to copy the answers without any danger, was so shocked that he could hardly urinate.

"The chuunin examiner is just like that. Didn't he find nothing? But that guy Daimaru must have known about it. He didn't cause any trouble. I'm really sorry!"

At the same time, Uchiha Sasuke worked hard and finally got the answer; Haruno Sakura didn't have to worry, the only thing left was Uzumaki Naruto who was suffering in his heart.

Touching the smooth white paper, the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki didn't know what to do. He wanted to peek at Hinata Hinata's answer next door, but was frightened by the sharp-eyed invigilator, and he immediately didn't dare to do it again.

As time goes by, the time left for the written examination becomes less and less. Many genin candidates cannot help but start taking desperate risks even though they know that the odds are stacked against them.

The closer to the end, the more people were kicked out of the examination room.

It was only then that Morino Ihiki realized that there was a small loophole in the exam rules he designed and the expected qualifying conditions.

That is, as long as you persist and don't quit, even if you hand in a blank paper, you will be able to pass the test safely in the end.

The total score is ten points. There are ten questions. One point will be deducted for each wrong question. Two points will be deducted for cheating once. If the points are cleared, you will be immediately disqualified. The tenth question’s mental torture is only announced in the last fifteen minutes, which perfectly divides the candidates into several categories. kind.

The first category is the strongest and the least. They are extremely confident and have the theoretical basis to be confident. They answer all the test questions correctly and pass the test smoothly. This category is represented by the arrogant Daimaru.

The second category is second. Even if they cannot answer all the questions correctly, they can still get the answers with their good intelligence gathering ability. They are confident and trust their teammates. The team cooperates tacitly. They can often pass through dangers. Konoha genin Hyuga Neji, Tenten and Rock Lee That's it.

The third category again follows the rules, but lacks ability and cannot answer all the questions correctly by relying on their own ability, but has a strong mind and is not deceived by adverse conditions. Finally, after passing the mental torture of the tenth question, they can be passed.

The fourth category is poor candidates whose ability is not enough to support their self-confidence, weak will, and give up the exam at critical moments. They are not valued by the first examiner Morino Ihiki and will be eliminated of course.

The fifth category is the worst. They don't even possess the basic qualities of a ninja. Their ability to collect intelligence is so poor that they can't even judge the core elements of this exam. They also despise the discipline of the exam. Such a waste will definitely be disqualified from the exam by the chunin who is present to invigilate the exam.

However, because of Daimaru's intervention, the number of second-category and third-category candidates who were likely to pass the first test was significantly reduced, which increased the difficulty of the exam in disguise and distorted the original intention of the examiner Ibiki.

Judging from the situation in the examination room, many candidates who have not been disqualified for the time being are completely helpless in the face of the eyeing examiners and chasing competitors, and blank papers abound.

This made Morino Ihiki realize that not only one or two of the third category qualified candidates would hand in blank papers.

It's not that Morino Ihiki hasn't considered this possibility, but he doesn't believe that anyone can catch this loophole that is not a loophole.

Before the announcement of the tenth test question, no candidate would be aware of the true requirements for passing the first test of the Chunin Exam.

But now, because of a reminder from a little guy, the strongest first and second category candidates realized that they could take action and kick out other competitors in advance.

"The mental stress is too much for an immature genin!" If this continues, there will be no need for the tenth question, and there will only be a few people present! 』

The candidates who took the blank paper did not know that they would win as long as they persisted until the tenth question, and they would definitely not give up their last desperate attempt.

The constantly rotating hands of the wall clock were like a gradually tightening noose, causing more desperate genin to fall at the last moment due to cheating.

Even Daimaru's former teammate Tokiri was disqualified because his new teammate Komaza cheated five times.

Not only the examiner Morino Ihiki, but also the Konoha chuunin who invigilated the examination noticed that something was wrong and frequently told the examiner how to proceed.

Looking at Daimaru, who was holding his chin and closing his eyes, looking completely leisurely as if the examiner and candidates were not present, Morino Ihiki revealed a cruel smile on his lips.
