Red sand dust

The relatively silent written examination is the most painful thing for less confident candidates. As time goes by, the anxiety in their hearts becomes more and more serious.

When I heard other genin candidates asking questions one after another, but I couldn't get the answers, I was so nervous that I had to ask my responsible examiner, but in the end I forgot the questions I wanted to ask.

This phenomenon is not just one or two. Many people are watching the time for free questions becoming less and less, and it is too late to remedy the situation.

In the monitoring room where the examiner was located, Temari looked at the small screens covering the wall in front of her:

"Looking at their current performance, we can basically tell which ones are better and which ones have no hope of being promoted to chunin."

Morino Ihiki, who was sitting side by side with Temari, sighed slightly:

"We in Konoha Village are just expelling young people who are not suitable for the future of ninjas. You are blatantly lying to people and will accidentally hurt many candidates..."

"What's wrong? Seniors, those who are truly mentally determined and stronger will naturally stand out..."

Temari explained unmoved,

"The task of our examiners is to select qualified genin and send them to the next round, not to identify all qualified candidates and let them advance! On-the-spot performance is also one of the important talents. How can we ensure that the crotch is pulled at the critical moment? Can you be trusted during the mission?"

After a pause, the blonde girl glanced at the clock.

"Those who are greedy and lucky, please come back next year when you are more mature! You obviously have the strength, but you are willing to degenerate, ignore the bright road, and compete in the quagmire with those rotten trees who cannot be cultivated. It is just a waste of talent. Idiot..."

"What you say makes sense, but it is so cruel to these hopeful candidates..."

The moment he saw the test questions, the cunning Morino Ihiki thought of several possible traps.

For example, in a limited exchange, a three-person team with a tacit understanding will recommend a "bait" to randomly fill in the answers, push up the candidates' expectations of the qualifying standard of answer questions, create a tense atmosphere, and only erase the answers at the last moment. Only make sure to answer a minimum of ten questions, and then let your partner transfer the points to give you an insurance.

The basic strategy is roughly tossing within the framework of "ensuring that three of our own team will not be disqualified due to violations, and allowing more people to be expelled due to scores below 90."

In fact, it is quite unwise to waste limited time on attacking other candidates, but as long as someone starts and the wind blows, even a pig or a weight can only dance with the wind. Without enough concentration, most of the time, Not immune.

"Ninja is not a game for children to play house. The chunin are already the main force of each ninja village. They must be allowed to experience the hardships and dangers of adult society..."

During the discussion in a low voice, Morino Ihiki had to admit that there was a slight difference between the elite tradition of Sand Ninja and the educational philosophy of Konoha Village.

At the level of genin and chuunin, Suna ninjas are generally stronger than ninjas from other villages, and it is not without reason.

This first test of the Joint Chuunin Examination is the most difficult for Suna Ninja because the genin team in Sunagakure Village is the most unstable, has the worst team chemistry, and does not understand each other well enough. It is easy to act self-righteously and then unconsciously Fall into a trap.

The free and unorganized Kumo ninjas generally have poor self-control, so many people should be eliminated.

Konoha ninjas with excellent team spirit can easily lose their vigilance due to underestimating the enemy, thinking that everything is under control and unable to find the key to passing the first test.

On the contrary, those Iwa Ninjas, Mist Ninjas, and Small Country Ninja Villages who are slightly less powerful, have a conservative style, or have low expectations for themselves, as long as their theoretical knowledge is acceptable and there are no particularly weak people in the team holding them back, they have a greater chance of passing. .

"Obviously it is your Sunagakure Village that holds the Chunin Examination, but you are the first to take advantage of your own compatriots..."

Temari laughed and said:

"Kirigakure Village has not regained its strength, and Iwagakure Village is in decline. This Chunin Examination is the stage for the performances of the young people from the three strongest villages, Kumogakure Village, Konoha Village and Sunagakure Village. Of course, we must pay special attention to it." 'Them!"

In fact, there haven't been many outstanding young people in Cloud Hidden Village in the past two years. Compliments to them are just polite remarks. In essence, it is still the competition between Konoha ninja and Suna ninja.

Two years ago in Konoha Village, the Suna Ninja did not fall behind in full view of the public, so it was only natural that he would show off again two years later.

Although most of the top genin candidates in Sunagakure Village back then have been promoted, their background is still there and there is still room for competition.

At this moment, the five-minute question-and-answer time was over. Temari pressed the reminder bell and transmitted the sound to each candidate's ears through the microphone on the table.

"Time's up! Before the official exam, here's a final reminder: In this written exam, as long as the examiner doesn't find you leaving the designated seating area, and you don't damage the exam room equipment, any form of cheating, loud noises, weird behavior, or sending secret signals is not prohibited. , performing ninjutsu, etc. are all allowed..."

As Temari finished speaking, all the candidates were in an uproar.

"Why is this so? That would be very beneficial to candidates with special investigative abilities!"

The messy scene made Temari knock on the table.

"Shut up! The so-called exam is originally a battle of wits and courage between the examiner and the examinee. Cheating is just one of the methods that is not so public. It is not a big deal. Don't underestimate the iron shell that covers you. You are more than two hundred Individually, it would be amazing if three of them could break it. Cheating? Many jounin can't do it. Do you think you are capable of that just based on your ability?"

"Then why..."

Without waiting for the candidates to ask questions, Temari explained directly:

"The task of a ninja is actually to achieve goals under strict rules. These rules are not only shackles, but also protection for every ninja. If someone is so strong that he does not need protection, certain restrictions will no longer be effective. For those of you For candidates, those who can break through the cage that our examiners have put so much effort into and cheat, of course should enjoy preferential treatment! Note that cheating is legal, but it does not mean that you can pass the first test..."

Amid the commotion, the written examination officially began.

Morino Hiki looked at Temari with complicated eyes.

"You are not missing any opportunity to lay a trap! Since there may be cheaters, writing correct answers may be plagiarized. It is better to create doubts and write more wrong answers to deceive people. It has become A powder keg, you even threw a handful of fire into it..."

"What's the matter? Didn't you see that I used words like 'maybe', 'maybe', and 'if'? What's more..."

Temari smiled easily,

"I'm just saying it casually, and it's just a kind reminder. In fact, the possibility of cheating is infinitely close to zero..."
