Silence descended upon the Chunin Exam hall. Numerous students stared blankly at the scrolls with the answers laid out on their desks.
What kind of exam was this? Were they supposed to copy? When did the Chunin Exam become this easy?
Finally, a young man, around seventeen or eighteen, raised his hand hesitantly and asked, "Teacher… are we supposed to copy these answers?"
Yamashiro Aoba surveyed the exam hall before slowly replying, "Think before you speak. Do you think the answers were given to you for fun? However, listen closely, answer your own questions."
"If I catch anyone cheating and copying someone else's exam, the first time, the team will receive a warning. If the team is caught cheating a second time, all team members will be eliminated! Do you understand?"
Uchiha Naraku sneered inwardly. That "If I catch anyone" was really well-used.
That means as long as I'm not caught, I can copy at will.
"Understood!"
All the examinees answered in unison.
"Alright, the time limit for the exam is 40 minutes. I declare, the exam begins now!"
After Yamashiro Aoba finished speaking, all the examinees eagerly opened their scrolls.
However, Uchiha Naraku wasn't in a hurry. She first activated her Two-Tomoe Sharingan and began to observe her surroundings discreetly.
Sure enough, things aren't that simple.
Naraku was surprised to find, by observing the papers of several people, that the answers written on these answer scrolls were not exactly the same.
In other words, some of these "answers" are wrong.
(In the end, it's still about figuring out how to get answers from other people's scrolls, constantly referencing them to eliminate the wrong ones.)
It seems this exam is not just testing the Genin's information gathering abilities, but also their information analysis skills?
This makes things a little more troublesome than I thought, but it doesn't matter. Let's begin.
Uchiha Naraku began to quickly gather information using her Sharingan, and then eliminated the wrong answers by constantly cross-referencing.
About 20 minutes later, Naraku finally finished answering all the questions.
Uchiha Itachi was currently sitting in his seat, lost in thought. He should have already finished answering all the questions as well.
As for what the spacey Itachi was thinking? That wasn't Naraku's concern.
After observing Itachi's situation, Naraku once again turned her gaze to the last row, where Senju Chakan sat.
At this moment, Chakan's face was ashen, and he looked at his scroll in a daze.
He possessed no ability to gather information and had only been able to sneak glances at the person on his right.
However, with only two scroll answers, it was impossible to analyze which answer was correct.
Just as Senju Chakan was holding his head, his mind a complete blank, the scenery before his eyes suddenly changed. The classroom vanished, and towering trees sprang up from the ground. He looked around, bewildered.
The surrounding scenery was so familiar. This was Training Ground Six.
"Don't speak! This is my Genjutsu."
Just as Senju Chakan was about to run out of the training ground, Uchiha Itachi appeared before him.
Genjutsu? What's going on? I clearly didn't look into his eyes just now, how did I get pulled into a Genjutsu? What exactly is going on?
"Here are the answers to the exam, remember them. The Genjutsu can only last for two minutes, so hurry."
A scroll appeared out of thin air in Uchiha Itachi's hand.
He spread the scroll on the ground, and Chakan didn't dare to delay, immediately focusing his attention on it.
Two minutes later, the surroundings gradually distorted, and Senju Chakan reappeared inside the exam hall.
Well done, Uchiha Itachi, you're amazing… Wait, why am I praising him? Damn it, this guy is such a busybody. I could have done it myself without his help.
Chakan thought to himself, glancing at Itachi. However, Itachi was still sitting in his seat, lost in thought, without even turning his head, let alone any other extra movements.
(The Uchiha clan, what a strange bunch. As expected, Naraku-chan's fighting style is much more agreeable.)
When Uchiha Naraku saw that Senju Chakan had also started writing furiously, she finally relaxed.
Since the three of them seemed to be doing fine, she simply rested her head on the table, boredly waiting for the exam time to end.
This year's Chunin exam was actually quite lively. Naraku had noticed while gathering information earlier that Uzuki Yugao was sitting three seats behind her.
And the boy she had left under the tree that day was sitting in front of Itachi.
However, they obviously didn't recognize her, but it didn't matter.
It wasn't anything important.
Just as Naraku was lost in thought, 40 minutes had passed.
"The exam time is now over. All examinees, stop answering immediately. Anyone who continues to answer will be treated as cheating."
Yamashiro Aoba's voice was cold. All the students stopped writing. Those who had done well were naturally refreshed.
Those who hadn't finished could only stop with ashen faces. After all, if they were judged to be cheating, it would drag down the entire team.
"Very good, but don't be too happy, everyone. Besides the questions on the paper, I have an eleventh question here, which is also the last question. Only by getting all eleven questions correct will you be considered to have passed the exam."
As expected, it's the same old trick… It's not going to be the same old scare tactic, is it?
"The last question? Teacher, what is the last question? It's not in the paper!"
A male classmate from Uzuki Yugao's class asked, confused.
"The last question is not in the paper, but the question is very simple. It's just a multiple-choice question. Listen to my description, and then write your answer on the back of the paper."
Yamashiro Aoba quickly scanned all the classmates, then continued,
"Listen to the question, examinees: you are currently carrying out a top-secret mission, a mission that even concerns the safety of your village. But in the middle of the mission, one of your companions has been captured by the enemy. What choice would you make at this moment?"
"A: Rescue your companion."
"B: Continue carrying out the mission."
Uchiha Naraku smiled. This was a gift of a question.
She quickly wrote the answer on the back of the paper: A and B.
The reason was simple; Yamashiro Aoba hadn't said it was a multiple-choice question.
So, you couldn't abandon your companion, nor could you abandon the mission.
After all, only children make choices. I, of course, want them all.
Uchiha Itachi, sitting in the back seat, quickly wrote down his answer.
Only the honest Senju Chakan turned pale again and looked at Naraku for help.
Naraku sighed. He seemed to see a few big words on Chakan's face.
"Naraku-chan!! Save me!!"
