12 - Written test with one side; Forest of Death
The first test of the Zhongnin exam, the content is very simple, it is a written test, you must first complete the nine questions on the test paper, and then the tenth question will be given in the last fifteen minutes, and at the same time, if you are caught cheating more than five times, you will be judged disqualified, and you will be out with your teammates.
Not to mention that cheating will be disqualified, but the sentence "if you are cheating more than five times, you will be out" is already a big hint.
Since it means that if you are caught cheating, you will be out, so it is better to cheat in a way that will never be detected.
In fact, the purpose of this written test is to test the candidates' ability to collect intelligence, and the empty ones who have read the original book naturally know that in fact, among these so-called candidates, there are a few ninjas who know the answers to the written test, which is the object of the candidates' intelligence collection this time.
In the next 45 minutes, the shinobi of each ninja village showed their magical powers.
Sakura, who is a typical honor student, didn't understand the meaning of the examiner's words at all, and directly wrote the answer honestly.
As for the other ninjas who have their own secret arts, they directly rely on their own skills to write the answers, and the lower ninjas who have Hitomi in the examination room are more direct, using their Hitomi skills to find someone who can write the answer, and directly copy the answers.
In short, if you want to use one sentence to describe this exam, it is that the eight immortals have crossed the sea and shown their magical powers, although there are constantly people on the way who are caught by the examiner because of their clumsy cheating skills and then thrown out.
As for what he was going to do, he didn't have the heart to write about things that he hadn't studied in detail, and for him, instead of spending time here, it would be better to meditate and improve the small universe.
As a result, under the embarrassed gaze of the examiners, Sora directly put down the pen, meditated directly on his seat, closed his eyes and entered a meditative state.
Looking at this kind of emptiness, the three people who belonged to the seventh class with the void all had their own ideas.
Sakura: What does that guy want to do, he probably won't do it! Damn, if it goes on like this, it will be affected by the tail of this crane!
Naruto: This guy is meditating at a time like this, he probably doesn't think about this exam.
Sasuke: Damn, why is this guy who is lazy all day better than me, damn it!!
In short, in the empty meditation, 45 minutes passed quickly, and finally, the examiner in charge of this exam, Morino Ibiki, directly announced the rules for the 10th exam question, and those who did not answer correctly were scored with 0 points, and at the same time, they would be deprived of the qualification to participate in the Zhongnin exam for the rest of their lives, so those who did not have confidence would directly roll him out of the examination room.
I have to say that Senai Biki deserves to be the head of the torture department, and the psychological tactics are absolutely first-class, and under the pressure of this bald head, half of the candidates lost confidence and left the examination room.
'Bump! ’
"Don't underestimate me! I'm not going to give up. Even if it's a lifetime of forbearance. I also took the last question. I'm going to be the Hokage in the future, and I'm not going to give up here! Say it straight and do what you say. Never give up. This is my ninja way. Naruto said loudly.
Naruto's words aroused the confidence of everyone present, and the previous confusion disappeared, and Sasuke and Sakura, who were watching this scene, raised their eyebrows.
As for Sora, I'm sorry, he's still in a meditative state, just ignoring all this.
'Naruto, this kid, put the atmosphere I've just established. It's all in a row! Hum! What a messy little ghost. Then there will be no results if we continue. Ibiki thought to herself, and then said very dryly, "I declare that you have all passed the first exam!" ”
After a lot of questions and answers, everyone finally figured out what was going on: the first nine questions were used to test the ability to gather intelligence; Question 10 is the meaning of the first exam:
"In a moment of dilemma, the ability to give courage to a companion and the ability to get out of a difficult situation are all qualities that are necessary for a shinobi as a squad leader.
At such a moment, you can't gamble your life, and pin your hopes on the uncertain future of next year, and those who can't grasp the opportunity if their hearts are shaken and can't grasp the opportunity, this kind of waste without fighting spirit is not qualified to become a shinobi at all! ”
Regardless of whether they have taken the Zhongnin exam before or not, all the candidates present understand the fact that Zhongninja is not so easy to be!
"The entrance has been broken through, and the first session of the Zhongnin exam is over! I hope you keep up the good work! ”
Naruto, who had narrowly escaped death, was still jumping up and down there, and an unidentified object had smashed through the window and flew straight in.
The intruder stretched out in the air and flew out two kunai nails to the ceiling, and the black curtain that read 'The Second Examiner - Mitarai Red Beans, Ginshang' hung down, covering the scar-faced uncle who had completed his mission.
"I'm the second examiner, Mitarai Red Bean! Hurry up and take the second exam! "Wearing a fishnet suit, a small leather skirt, and a beige windbreaker, the beautiful red bean with a super good figure appears!
"Come with me, everybody!" The right fist is raised high, and he looks full of energy.
The beauty's elaborate appearance was completely counterproductive, and even a showy guy like Naruto was stunned.
After a while, Naruto's eyebrows jumped and he covered his face and said in a tangled secret, "I don't know her, I don't know her hateful!" Shame on you and you go home! You won't want to order something new! Sister Red Bean!! ”
Ibiki pulled up the curtain, wiped her cold sweat, and whispered on the side: "No one pays attention to you" Ibixi's words made the instant red bean's face blush with shame. But it recovered quickly, and Hongdou looked at the list, looked around at the candidates present, and said to Ibihi: "79!?" Ibihi, are there twenty-six groups left? It seems that the first exam of this Chunin selection exam seems too simple. "Abona has no problem with the number of 79 people, because the third generation has already told her that there will be a team of 4 people.
"Nope! It's the people here who are so good! Ibiki smiled. Red Bean was stunned for a moment! Because she had never seen Ibiki boast about people. Then he waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter, let's brush the number of people to less than half in the next second exam!" ”
This sentence obviously slowly restored the atmosphere that had just been dispersed by Naruto.
"Huh!? Reduced to less than half!! Sakura exclaimed. No way! "Oh my God!" "What are you doing?" began a gossip in the crowd
Red Bean added the corners of his mouth with his tongue and said, "Ah, it's exciting. Then he looked at the candidates present with a playful look in his eyes and said, "The detailed explanation will start tomorrow when I arrive at the examination room." The examination time and place is the Forest of Death, just like that, and is now dissolved. ”
When everyone was in a commotion over the words of the red bean, Sora ended his meditative state and walked out of the examination room without saying a word.
'Second Exam'
On the way back to the cabin where he was resting, Sora frowned.
Because if nothing else, then tomorrow he will meet, the first shadow-level powerhouse to really shoot in the original book - Orochimaru, which also means that what Sora will encounter tomorrow will be his first extremely dangerous battle
============================ dividing line ============================
The next day, all the candidates came to the designated place.
The towering trees hugged by several people, the huge centipedes comparable to pythons, and the gloomy deep forest, from time to time came out the roars of fierce beasts.
"This is the examination room for the second exam - Exercise Ground No. 44, also known as 'Forest of Death'!"
The solemn environment, coupled with the deliberately suppressed voice of the red bean, made the atmosphere unconsciously tense.
"Hmph, don't be afraid! I'll let you know why it's called the Forest of Death! ”
Feeling the increasingly tense atmosphere around him, Sora only frowned slightly, and then secretly swept his gaze quickly over a straw hat and quickly withdrew his gaze.
Just now, his small universe sensed a powerful sense of danger, and this feeling was the grass ninja who swept his empty gaze just now, if nothing else, that guy was Orochimaru.
"First of all, before the exam begins, you need to sign this - the death consent form!"
"What's that?"
"Someone is going to die in this exam, so you have to sign this consent before you can take it. Otherwise, I will be responsible for your death! Oh hehehe! ”
Red Bean's wicked laughter succeeded in making the candidates nervous again.
"What a nuisance!"
As soon as he heard the examiner say this, Shikamaru understood that this exam was a must-fight with people, which was really not good news for him, who pursued the principle of "more things are better than less".
After everyone got the consent form, Hongdou said: "Let's start with the topography of the examination room, this 44th exercise ground is surrounded by 44 locked gates, there is a forest, a river, and a tower in the middle, and the tower is about ten kilometers from the gate to the gate. In this limited living space, you are required to carry out survival training, and the content is to fight for the scroll without breaking your hand. As he spoke, he put away the map and took out two scrolls from his bosom. Someone asked suspiciously, "Scrolls?" ”
"That's right, it's the Book of Heaven and the Book of Earth. Fight around them. There were a total of twenty-six groups that passed the first exam, of which thirteen held the Book of Heaven and the other thirteen held the Book of Earth. There is only one reel in each group, and the simple answer is to grab someone else's reel. Red Bean smiled and continued, "So if you want to pass the second exam, you must desperately grab the scroll corresponding to you. ”
"So what exactly are the qualifications to qualify?" Sasuke asked.
"A group of three people holds two scrolls, heaven and earth, to reach the central tower, this is the only condition, oh, by the way, you are a group of four~~ That's the same! This exam is prescribed that three people just take the scroll to the designated place! Red Bean continued with a smile
"That is to say, the 13 groups of scrolls that were robbed must have failed!" Sakura said with some surprise, and Azuki nodded affirmatively.
"But it has to be within the time limit – the second exam is 120 hours, which is five days and five nights."
"Five days? What about eating? Ding Ci hurriedly asked, if he didn't have anything to eat, he would definitely look weak
"Figure it out for yourself, there are a lot of wild animals in the forest." Azuki answered Ding Ji's question. Then he smiled lightly and said, "But there are also a lot of man-eating beasts and poisonous flowers and poisonous weeds. ”
"How so!" Just like now, Ding Ci's face turned green when he heard Hongdou's answer, and he lowered his head weakly. But wouldn't it be too much for him to eat poisonous flowers and poisonous herbs?
Red Bean looked at the candidate and said, "By the way, let's talk about the situation of failure." First, it was a three-person team that did not bring the Heaven and Earth Scrolls to the tower together within five days. The second is a team where a member dies or is unable to continue fighting. Also, the contents of the scroll are absolutely not allowed to be seen until you reach the tower. ”
"What would it look like if you saw it?" Naruto asked with some curiosity, as he hadn't heard of Azuki talking about it before. Azuki looked at Naruto with a 'smile' and said, "If you want to see it, you can try it, Naruto-chan!! ”
"What are you doing, this expression~~" Naruto said helplessly as he looked at the black expression of the red bean.
Looking at the candidate Hongdou who had calmed down, he continued: "After becoming a middle ninja, there will also be times to deal with confidential documents, which is also an opportunity to test whether you are trustworthy and lazy, and the explanation is over; With the consent form of the three of them, go over there together to change a scroll, and then choose an entrance, and everyone starts together. Red Bean pointed to the grass hut and said.
After saying the precautions, Hongdou let out a long breath, looking at the candidates a little lazily, and finally said seriously: "The last suggestion is not to die!" ”
The group that received the scroll followed the person in charge of each gate to move towards the door. Start in 30 minutes! "2:30 a.m. All the candidates have arrived at their respective positions and are waiting
"The second match of the Zhongnin Exam Trials, start now!" With the order of the red bean. All the candidates quickly entered the forest of death. A bloody reel battle will be fiercely contested here
