Chapter 14: The Exams Begin
"Adamantine Sealing Chains, a Sealing Technique unique to the Uzumaki Clan, immensely powerful, but requires a large amount of Chakra to sustain." Yakushi Kabuto pushed up his glasses and looked at the two in the arena: "Dosu Kinuta alone cannot break free."
"What in the world is this?!" Dosu Kinuta's limbs were bound, making it impossible for him to struggle. The only thing he could be thankful for was that the sound holes on his forearms weren't blocked.
"I'll eliminate you right here." Dosu Kinuta gave a cruel smile and began to gather Chakra to launch an attack. With his sound waves, Dosu Kinuta was confident he could instantly defeat this strange kid with his bizarre technique.
"Why can't I control my Chakra?!" Dosu Kinuta's eyes widened. The Chakra that usually obeyed his every command within his body was now unresponsive.
"Is it strange?" Yuta reached out and gripped Dosu Kinuta's neck: "Rushing in without knowing the enemy's technique, Otogakure really is just a small Village."
Hearing Yuta's taunt, Dosu Kinuta wanted to retort but was powerless. As for his two companions, they were also unable to approach due to being restrained by another chain.
As Yuta tightened his grip, Dosu Kinuta's exposed single eye slowly bulged outwards. Lack of oxygen caused Dosu Kinuta's brain to become hazy. Unable to speak, unable to struggle, despair enveloped the young Ninja.
Just as Dosu Kinuta thought he was doomed, Yuta released his right hand and the chains.
"Bang"
"Hoo… Ha… Hoo… Ha…"
Dosu Kinuta knelt on the ground, gasping for air. The other two, no longer blocked by the chains, quickly ran over: "Kinuta, are you alright?"
Yuta squatted in front of the three, his face still bearing that unchanging smile: "I'll give you some advice: in other people's Villages, you should behave yourselves, otherwise, be careful not to get beaten to death by some hungry hunter."
The Ninja from various Villages reacted differently to this scene.
Konoha Village companions.
Naruto whined: "Why can't I learn such a powerful Ninjutsu?"
Sasuke's eyes were filled with fighting spirit: "It's the chains from that night."
"Such a bother." Shikamaru yawned lazily.
Rock Lee silently touched the weights under his arm guards.
Nao looked proudly at the surrounding Ninja who had become wary: "Yuta is indeed the strongest."
Hidden Sand Village.
"Uzumaki Yuta." Gaara looked at Yuta excitedly. His intuition told Gaara that this person's blood would be very delicious.
Kankuro looked at Temari: "What was that just now?"
Temari shook her head: "How would I know? But be careful, that technique seems to be able to counter your puppets."
Amegakure.
"Must observe closely."
"What exactly was that thing just now? We must figure it out before engaging in battle."
Grass Hidden Village.
A long-haired woman with gloomy eyes licked the corner of her mouth: "Uzumaki Yuta…"
Although their thoughts and ideas differed, many Ninja could now confirm that Uzumaki Yuta was a terrifyingly powerful enemy.
"Bang!"
White smoke rose from the podium. A man with a bandana on his head and three large scars on his face emerged from the white smoke: "Quiet down! You fools! I am Ibiki Morino, the proctor for the first exam. Let me make it clear, any fool who dares to disobey orders will be immediately eliminated!"
Seeing everyone quiet down, Ibiki continued with satisfaction: "Exchange your application forms for number tags. The first exam is a written test."
Naruto looked at the stack of blank papers in the proctor's hand and collapsed to his knees in despair: "Why is it a written test?!"
"Ninja knowledge and such topics are probably what he's worst at." Yuta looked at Naruto with pity. Although he would definitely pass the test in the end, he would probably suffer during the one hour of the exam.
After the test papers were distributed, Ibiki continued to announce the exam rules: "The first rule, all of you start with ten points. One point will be deducted for each wrong answer. The second rule, the assessment score is the total score of your three-person squad. The third rule, if cheating is discovered, two points will be deducted each time. If it reaches five times, you will be forcibly expelled from the examination room. If you want to become a Chunin, you must take the exam like a qualified Ninja. The last rule, if anyone in the squad scores zero, then all three members of the squad will fail."
As Ibiki finished speaking, two murderous intents came from behind Naruto. For Naruto, a written test idiot, Sasuke and Sakura had no trust whatsoever.
"The final question will be given forty-five minutes into the exam. The exam duration is one hour. Begin now!"
After Ibiki announced the start, he stood steadily on the podium. Feeling Ibiki's powerful pressure, everyone involuntarily became nervous.
"Although I'll definitely pass in the end, I'll just use these questions to pass the time since I'm bored." Yuta began to doodle casually on the paper.
Despite the almost cruel rules and the heavy pressure of the difficult questions, the Genin began to attempt to cheat. Of course, there were also clumsy fools whose entire team was expelled from the classroom.
Forty-five minutes later, Ibiki clapped his hands on the table, interrupting the exam: "Next, I will announce the tenth question. However, before that, there are two rules to announce. The first rule, you are free to choose whether to answer the tenth question or not. If you choose not to answer, you will be given zero points and eliminated from this exam. The second rule, if you choose to answer but get it wrong, you and your entire squad will be permanently disqualified from participating in the Chunin Exams. Make your choice now!"
Ibiki Morino, a special Jonin of Konoha, captain of the Konoha Anbu Interrogation Unit, specializes in manipulating the opponent's mind to break their psychological defenses. His speaking speed, tone, and the sounds accompanying his speech were all special techniques.
The quality of Genin in peacetime was far inferior to that in wartime. These twelve-year-old Genin began to break down under the mental pressure created by Ibiki.
"I quit."
"I quit too."
"I… I quit too."
Naruto tremblingly raised his hand, and under Sakura's sigh of relief and Yuta's amused gaze, he slammed his hand down on the table: "Don't underestimate me! I won't run away! Even if I have to be a Genin for the rest of my life, I'm still going to take the exam!"
After saying that, Naruto crossed his arms and glared defiantly at Ibiki.
"Heh." Ibiki chuckled softly: "Is this the child Lord Third spoke of? The atmosphere has already been broken, waiting any longer won't do any good. In that case…"
"You all passed!" Ibiki announced, to everyone's shocked and confused expressions.
"As expected." Yuta, who had already guessed the outcome, was not at all surprised. Of course, Yuta later asked Naruto what he would have done if the tenth question had truly been a very difficult one.
"I hadn't thought about it," Naruto replied.
In the following time, Ibiki explained the purpose of this exam to everyone. However, before Ibiki could finish speaking, an unknown object wrapped in a long brown cloth broke through the glass and rushed in.
"Swish swish"
Two shurikens shot towards the ceiling, hanging up the cloth. Several large white characters were written on the cloth.
Second Exam Proctor, Anko Mitarashi, has arrived!
"There are still eighty-one people? Ibiki, your exam this time was a bit too simple, wasn't it?" Anko said to Ibiki.
Ibiki replied: "There are many excellent people this time."
"Well, never mind. I'll just eliminate half of these people first." Anko pointed her thumb towards the window: "Let's go, Death Forest."
Shamelessly asking for red stones
If you don't give them… If you don't give them… If you don't give them, then don't give them T_T
