Chapter 96 Exam Questions
After Class 7 entered the actual examination room, they saw a ninja from the Aburame family standing in the center of the podium. He was wearing a black bodysuit with a high-necked black inner lining. Only his face was visible through the hood, and he was wearing small sunglasses.
The only identifying feature was a purple tattoo on his right cheek.
If she's not one of the Aburame clan, then she's probably a stalker!
The proctor, a young woman, glanced at the three of them. Then, other Chunin nearby assigned them exam numbers, saying, "Sit according to your numbers, and don't whisper to each other!"
The three of them each received a number and were indeed separated.
Akaishi went to the third row from the right, where there were not many people around, but Aburame Shiki was right in front of him.
"Zhiwei, which uncle or great-uncle is the proctor?" Akashi asked Aburame Zhiwei in a low voice.
Yu Nu Zhiwei: ————
Just as Akaishi thought that Aburame Shii wasn't going to answer him, a parasite crawled onto his desk and began to move its two forelimbs in a twitching motion.
Akaishi immediately recognized it as the universal Tobirama code, and after deciphering it—
【Distant relatives】, 【Unfamiliar】, 【Long time ago】, 【Shimura Danzo】, 【Roots】.
Akaishi immediately realized that the proctor must be a branch of the Aburame clan, who had previously been affiliated with Shimura Danzo and had now joined the Root!
Upon learning this, Akaishi's expression turned slightly serious, but he wasn't overly nervous.
After the incident with "The History of Sealing in the Warring States Period," Danzo's roots became somewhat more restrained.
At such a sensitive time, especially during the Joint Chunin Exams, what is the purpose of targeting Uchiha Akaishi?
If it were the other way around, perhaps the Uchiha clan could do it, but Danzo definitely wouldn't!
Although Akaishi didn't think the other party would target him at this time, he still felt it was better to be safe than sorry.
At the same time, Akaishi looked at the file folder in front of him, which was sealed with a talisman.
I reckon it contains the exam papers!
The two Hyuga brothers, no longer putting on an act, were staring intently at the file folder in front of them, their eyes bulging with veins – "I use my X-ray vision, who can say I'm cheating? They should just resent their fate of not having Byakugan!"
perspective----
This is a feature that the Sharingan doesn't actually possess.
If there is chakra fluctuation inside, the Sharingan might be able to see it, but pure optical vision is something only the Byakugan is known to have.
Judging from their expressions, the test paper was quite difficult.
in addition----
Akaishi had just noticed that the two Hyuga brothers came in with Sarutobi Shinnosuke, so it seemed that the three of them were in the same team.
Another half hour passed, and it was exactly nine o'clock in the morning!
The Hyuga brothers have already thoroughly enjoyed the problem.
"Close the door," the oil-skinned female proctor said directly.
The Chunin agreed and went to close the door. Just then, a group of Genin who had just broken free of the genjutsu arrived, but—
The proctoring chunin didn't wait for them to come in; he closed the door at the pleas of the genin outside.
The sounds of people knocking on the door and pleading for mercy disappeared after the seal was put on.
"I am Ryoma Aburame, and I am also your proctor for the written exam. The exam consists of ten questions. There will be no ranking; the exam will be judged by Jonin from Konoha, Iwagakure, and Kirigakure. You will pass if you answer six questions correctly—"
"But remember, if even one person in a team fails the test, the entire team is eliminated!"
Ryoma Aburame's voice was somewhat hoarse.
"For all questions, if you can answer in a way that only fails to satisfy your own casualties but meets all other conditions, you will get half a point. However—if cheating is discovered, you will be immediately expelled from the exam room!" Aburame Ryoma emphasized.
Then, the Chunin proctors present all formed hand seals, and instantly the sealing talismans on the file folders in front of them burned away on their own.
"Alright, you can take out the exam paper now—the first thing to do is to input a small amount of chakra into the exam paper," Aburame Ryoma added.
The genin taking the exam all took out their test papers.
Even though they were puzzled, they still transferred their chakra and entered one of the ninjas. Even the genin from Kirigakure and Iwagakure knew that this must be something their leader had agreed to, so they didn't hesitate at all.
Immediately, changes appeared on the exam paper —
The main difference is that each question has reduced the number of "assumed mastery of ninjutsu"!
Akashi realized that the original assumptions were all written on the five elemental escaping techniques. However, the material of this test paper was essentially the same as chakra test paper, except that it did not wrinkle or become wet, but rather concealed a part of the "setting" based on the results.
Upon noticing this, Akaishi immediately glanced in the direction of the Hyuga brothers, and sure enough, their expressions were stiff.
Akaishi was quite gloating about this—"You like to peek beforehand, don't you? You prepared for so long according to the five elemental ninjutsu, but in the end, you only have fire-attribute ninjutsu to use!"
The Byakugan of the Hyuga clan is very powerful.
However, they are much weaker in terms of chakra transformation talent. Often, even Jonin only have two natures, and most of them only have one fire nature. Among the ninja clans, they are considered to have relatively mediocre talent in chakra transformation.
After gloating, Akaishi first read through all the questions.
Ten questions.
Watergate was the right thing to do!
The terrain and weather conditions in the six questions are consistent with the characteristics of the Rain Country.
There are also two questions related to "poison gas"—the "Salamander" ninja beast that half-hid that guy is famous for its poison gas.
Although it wasn't explicitly stated, the given conditions seemed to be a hypothetical question: "When Hanzo fights against powerful opponents, how can a Chunin, with limited protective gear, achieve greater results on a battlefield filled with poisonous gas?"
The exam questions were predicted perfectly!
The fact that this set of questions appeared in the Chunin Exams means that—
At least Iwagakure and Konoha have decided to use the Land of Rain as a "chessboard".
Seeing that his prediction had come true, Akaishi's confidence soared, but—
Then came a basin of cold water!
Question 1 —
I have an idea, but it seems difficult to solve, so I'll skip it for now.
Question 2 —
I have an idea, but it's hard to solve, so I'll skip it for now.
Question 3 —
I have an idea, but it's hard to solve.
Akaashi:? ? ?
As he read on, Akaishi felt more and more uneasy!
Akaishi then discovered the problem—
The main challenge questions, eight of which involved genin who could be commanded, were being solved by chunin.
The other two routes have teammates to cooperate with in one and civilians to protect in the other.
After a quick glance, Akaishi realized that, disregarding other casualties, the ten questions on this scroll were only of medium to high difficulty, and not particularly outstanding in the history of the Chunin Exams.
But----
Even if the questions are simulated, you don't need to feel so guilty. Just make the sacrifices—but you need to get six points out of ten questions!
These ten questions are designed to simulate ten smaller battlefields in a large-scale battle, and you need to get at least six points to secure victory.
If everyone ignores the lives of their teammates and fails to meet the conditions for protecting them, even if all feasible answers are given, the score is only five points. This manifests as too many deaths and insufficient combat strength for the final battle.
You need to answer at least two questions perfectly and provide imperfect answers to the other eight questions to pass the written test.
Akaishi then understood the significance behind these written test questions.
This Chunin Exam is the prelude to war. Therefore, on the one hand, it is to let these prospective Chunin understand the cruelty of war and not always think about "being unharmed". On the other hand, they cannot ignore the casualties of their comrades and soldiers and must do their best to protect everyone.
Having understood this, Akaishi began to answer —
First, write down all the "relatively simple half-answers" on scrap paper, and then start thinking about the next question—how should we break through the deadlock?
"The Hidden Mist Village has such a twisted sense of humor—" Old Purple complained to Kusano as he observed the reactions of the examinees in the examination hall while using reconnaissance ninjutsu.
The topic was set jointly by all three parties.
Konoha and Iwagakure came up with a bunch of questions that "hinted at Amegakure," while Kirigakure proposed the overall idea for the exam!
"Didn't you all agree? It's just that you now need to start adapting to war, while we in Kirigakure have always adapted," Kusano said calmly.
After a pause, Kusano said, "And if we're talking about a twisted sense of humor, isn't it you, Jonin Ooshi, who has an even more twisted sense of humor?"
"Hahaha, if we're going to pursue authenticity, then of course we have to see it through to the end!" Old Purple laughed loudly, his purple hair shaking wildly—clearly, his expression of "feeling sorry" for the exam genin was fake.
That's right, Lao Zi added another element to the question-setting approach of Tsukushino—only five questions, with genuine ones.
"Correct answer".
In other words, if you insist on not sacrificing your teammates, you only have five correct answers, which is not enough to get enough points. This is no longer a matter of skill level, but a matter of having to make a choice.
"And—perhaps someone will be able to see through Hatake Jonin's deeper meaning?" Old Purple said, looking at Hatake with a somewhat listless expression.
Sakumo Hatake thought their assessment principles were good and in line with the logic of war, but—he wanted to make some slight modifications.
The other five questions seem to have no completely correct answers and require sacrificing some teammates to achieve a "half-correct" answer, but there are actually solutions outside the surface rules!
That is————
Sacrifice yourself.
The question didn't mention it at all, but the three of them had already agreed beforehand that if anyone came up with this answer, they would get full marks!
"Actually, for most reference genin, it's not that easy to come up with ten relatively correct answers—especially if there's only one chakra transformation," Hatake calmly reminded them.
These questions were devised by the three Jonin after much brainstorming!
Regardless of the chakra variations the examinee may have, they only affect the "difficulty" of solving the problem, not the result. Even with five attributes, what needs to be sacrificed must still be sacrificed; even with a single attribute, there is still a way to solve the problem.
Of course, the more choices you have, the easier it is.
To this, Toshikano replied matter-of-factly, "Isn't that obvious? — If you don't have the strength or the talent, what else can you think about?"
If someone lacks talent or has weak theoretical knowledge, then the deeper meaning behind these questions is irrelevant to them. What they need is—if they're bad, practice more!
