Hearing that the Chunin Examination had begun, Minato wanted to go and see it, but he was told that there was a separate assessment location for their group.

"So, do we all pass the sixty-seven test points?" The Kage Building was packed with people from the first to the third floor. Most of them were Ninja School students who were not too old and not too young. They did not need to take the Chunin School.

The group of people who took the exam.

—

There are sixty-seven test points, each testing a certain specific ability of a ninja, with grades ranging from E to S. And very importantly, all exams are voluntary. There is no problem if you don't participate.

"Is the perception ability tested here?"

Holding a completed form in his hand, Minato arrived in front of a very large training ground. The training ground full of trees was surrounded by barbed wire, with words such as danger and prohibition plastered everywhere.

"Minato Namikaze, you don't seem to be a sentient ninja." The Jounin of Konoha who was in charge of the examination looked at Minato's ninja certificate and frowned slightly.

"This is a place for the 'perception ability' test, not a test for ninja perception, isn't it, uncle?" Minato defended himself innocently.

The Konoha Jonin just pondered for a moment before agreeing to Minato's participation in the assessment. He had already received instructions from the Hokage, and there was no threshold limit for the assessment.

"As you can see, this is a dangerous forest full of traps, barriers and ninjutsu," the examiner in a black trench coat briefly introduced Minato to the exam questions, "Your mission is to find all the hidden objects within three minutes.

enemy."

"Kid, your opponents are all experienced ninjas. If you find more than half of the targets, you will be considered a pass. You will be given a specific score based on your intelligence collection."

"Now," the Konoha examiner pressed his hand on the timer, "Start."

It's terrible. Minato, who lives in Konoha, can guarantee that Konoha Village never had such a large area of ​​woodland a week ago. This was definitely a temporary site designed for the assessment.

There are only three minutes, and the size of the forest is unknown. It may not be enough for one person to walk around the forest. How can he find the hidden target in it?

Obviously, being able to detect enemies hidden in unfamiliar environments in such a short period of time is a test prepared for perceptive ninjas. For example, the Hyuga clan and the Yamanaka clan should be able to pass it easily.

Time was running out, and Minato walked into the dense forest without a clue for a long time. He walked to a tree trunk, closed his eyes, and touched the trunk with his hand. "It feels real. This is not an illusion."

"But," Minato raised his head, there was no sunlight under the layers of branches and leaves, "It's a sunny day. You shouldn't be able to see the sunlight. So, is there a barrier technique that surrounds the entire forest?"

Time passed, and one minute passed. At this time, Minato had not gone very deep into the woods.

Outside the field, the observing Hyuga ninja shook his head, too much time was wasted.

In the original work, the protagonist Naruto Uzumaki relied on two ninjutsu, the Rasengan and the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique. The latter was first used by the second generation Hokage as a detection ninjutsu.

Minato happens to know this technique too.

"Ninjutsu - the art of multiple shadow clones!!"

When one third of the time had passed, Minato had created as many as eight shadow clones at one time.

"Got it!!"

The shadow clone and Minato's body instantly rushed out in all directions.

The light in the dense forest was not good. Minato had to pay attention to his steps, calculate the time and distance, and control up to eight clones of himself. He was under great mental pressure.

The shuriken casually cut off a rope that triggered the trap in front of him. Before the trap was triggered, Minato rushed over with a kunai clinking in the rain of shurikens. You know, wait until the shuriken is triggered before passing through.

, but it will waste a few seconds.

(Two hundred and seventy meters southeast from the entrance, trigger the trap.)

Minato secretly wrote down the first piece of information.

There was a fork in the road ahead, so Minato gestured behind him to turn right, and one of his clones followed him to explore the road on his behalf.

"Ninjutsu - the art of multiple shadow clones!"

With two more distractions, Minato quickly passed through the unexplored area at a speed that was almost hurried.

"Tudun - the technique of Tu Ling Danzi!"

Suddenly attacked, a huge earth chestnut rolled over with a rumble. Minato jumped to the side, stepped on the trunk of the tree a few steps to reach a very high height, and then jumped onto another safe tree.

A low-level earth escape, Tu Ling Danzi was half as tall as a big tree, and it rolled down and crushed five big trees.

(At this level of strength, elite chuunin or above) Minato wrote it down carefully.

Now that the target has been found, there is no need to engage in meaningless battles. Only by figuring out the positions of all enemies in the target area as quickly as possible is what a ninja should do.

The key to everything is speed.

After all, Minato is not an orthodox sensory ninja, or one with all-pervasive vision like Byakugan, or the ability to perceive chakra that other sensory ninjas have. After Minato's body and clones left, a black man drilled out from under the earth.

Shadow. After taking a look, the black shadow shrank back.

Minato's opponents were also experienced Konoha elite ninjas. After realizing that Minato had created a huge number of shadow clones, Konoha's jonins immediately guessed Minato's intention to rely on the clones for investigation.

According to the strictest standards, the Hokage did not issue an order to release the water. As any opponent who comes to test the kid, the jounin will do anything the enemy would do on the battlefield.

For example, intelligence deception.

In the examination room where Minato and his clones were screened, a terrifying ninja who was good at hiding would have been missed.

However, what the Konoha Jonin didn't notice was that behind him, there seemed to be a big stone on the training ground.

(Is it really here?) The stone slowly turned into Minato's appearance. It was really dangerous. He almost missed his target.

…

A clone discovered the barbed wire fence at the border and quickly blew himself up.

Minato, who was chasing the enemy, paused and asked, "Have you finished crossing the border?"

Immediately afterwards, three more clones self-destructed one after another.

A large amount of information returned after the multiple shadow clones self-destructed flooded his mind, making Minato feel dizzy.

(The venue is 700 meters long in each direction...there are still 54 seconds left, which is enough.)

He estimated the limit of what his body could bear, "Ninjutsu - the art of multiple shadow clones!!"

Minato created ten more shadow clones that did not pursue combat power but only required basic mobility.

In addition to the targeted targets, a final search was carried out.

Everything in the examination room was under the surveillance of examiners outside the room. During their observation, the entire examination room was divided into small pieces by Minato's remaining fourteen clones.

With such plowing tactics, the last undetected Konoha ninja in the field was cornered.

Only seven seconds left.

The last target, "Hey, you found me." The Konoha uncle smiled and walked out of the tree trunk, with a shuriken nailed about ten centimeters above his head, "Not bad, Minato."

The clone at the border nodded, formed a hand seal, and released the clone technique with a bang.

This seemed to be a signal, and then boom... all fourteen clones self-destructed at the same time, returning all the information obtained by the clones at once.

Huge and messy information filled Minato's mind at the same time. Minato seemed to have obtained a detailed 3D imaging map of the entire examination room in an instant.

There was so much feedback at once that Minato had a splitting headache and almost fell down from the tree.

"Stop! Mission accomplished!" Minato squatted on the ground, covering his forehead in pain. At this time, there was only one second left.

"Time's up." The examiner appeared at the right time and pressed the timer.

He put the timer in his pocket and took out the document pad, "Namikaze Minato, now tell me the information you obtained through the sensory ninjutsu."

Minato didn't answer. He quickly took out a piece of paper and pen and quickly drew a global map of the entire training ground. The information was very detailed, including all the paths in the forest. The locations were exactly the same, and the details were appropriate, showing a solid foundation of basic knowledge.

"Here," Minato picked up a pen and drew five small crosses on the map. He pointed at the first cross, "Earth ninja, tall and tall, with excellent physical skills, excellent shuriken skills, elite chuunin or above.

"

"Here is a ninja who is good at hiding. He is short and belongs to the Uchiha family. The target's left arm is injured..."

"here……"

…

Minato found the five targets completely. After that, Minato also pointed out dozens of traps. Not to mention the level of ninjutsu, his memory ability was much better than that of Uzumaki Naruto.

After Minato left the examination room unsteadily and frivolously, the two examiners glanced at each other.

"I give it an A+ for being fully aware of all targets within the allotted time."

"I give it a—", another examiner expressed his opinion, "Multiple shadow clones put a heavy load on the body. Although Minato completed the task, he almost lost his combat effectiveness. If he was on the battlefield, he would not be able to continue to bear the burden of perception.

It’s a ninja’s job.”

Therefore, in the end, by averaging the two parties, Minato received an A grade in perception ability because he was not a sentient ninja.

The use of multiple shadow clones to detect at least has advantages that even the Byakugan cannot match. After the clones are broken up, the caster will perceive everything that the previous clone encountered. All sight, smell, and touch.

Not even the Byakugan can detect the information that the target is very strong and good at physical arts.

Multiple shadow clones.
