Red sand dust

Saint Simon opened Yamanaka Ino's eyes, stretched out his hand to touch his forehead, and felt the chakra fluctuations in his body.

This is...an illusion!

The surrounding candidates were in an uproar.

Illusion?

Mori Nai Bixi's already gloomy face became even more ferocious,

You... are very good! There are actually guys who dare to violate the ban on private fighting!

The slightly angry Morino Ihiki looked at Hitake Dragonfly, who was monitoring the biggest suspect, Suna Ninja Daimaru, and the invigilator Die Ao, who was monitoring Daimaru's teammate, the genjutsu kunoichi Chi.

Flying Bamboo Dragonfly shook his head and said he didn't find it.

Die Yao, who was sitting on Qianbian, hesitated for a moment, and then replied:

Nothing against the rules!

Qian, who had always been quiet, worked quietly for more than half an hour, and then cast an illusion on himself, which obviously did not violate the rules.

If Qian's actions were problematic, all the candidates present would be almost wiped out.

If we insist on tracing the source, Ino Yamanaka, who was the first to use the secret technique Heart Turning Technique on Sand Ninja Sen, has a bigger problem.

If you are serious about it, you must first drive away the Konoha Genin Team 10, and then hold Qian Dui responsible for using genjutsu on himself and causing disaster to the fish in the pond Yamanaka Ino in order to convince the public.

No violation?

Morinoi Hiki asked word by word.

Affirmative, Mr. Examiner!

There are no violations, which does not mean that there is no action. Die Yu has clearly told the examiners present and a very small number of smart candidates:

Yes, it was a good thing that Suna ninja Daimaru teamed up with his teammates Yame and Chigan, but there was really no flaw to expel them using the rules announced by the examiner Morino Ihiki.

Haha... very good!

This is not the first time that the examiner, who is angry but laughing, has presided over the Chunin Exam. This is the first time that a candidate has found a loophole in the rules.

The ninja world is so vast that there are no shortage of surprises. The way to advance is to never relax for a moment! Die Yao, please give me a detailed report later...

Die Yao nodded in agreement.

Saint Simon, can Ino Yamanaka still take the exam?

Sir Examiner, Yamanaka Ino's illusion is quite good, but I have dispelled it. She will wake up soon, and her spirit may be a little sluggish, but it will not affect the next exam!

Thanks for your hard work!

Morino Yibixi nodded,

Yamanaka Ino and Nara Shikamaru made noises without permission that affected the order of the exam. Each of them cheated once and will be deducted two points...

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the back door of the examination room, and the puppet pretending to be the invigilator led Kankuro into the examination room.

You're lucky, you sand ninja boy playing puppet tricks... Huh?

Kankuro didn't understand the reason for the unusual atmosphere in the examination room. He didn't say much. He carefully walked to his seat and sat down. When he passed by Temari, he even handed over an answer sheet.

The examiner Morino Ihiki looked at the wall clock and saw that seven or eight minutes had passed before he was ready to announce the tenth question in advance:

I see, this is your purpose!

Daimaru, who was under the strange scrutiny of the examiner, had no choice but to pretend to be ignorant and pitiful.

Daimaru, who originally only wanted to eliminate a few more competitors, never expected that it would turn out like this.

In the next time, you must not mess around anymore. If you are caught, Morino Ihiki will be kicked out of the examination room without hesitation.

Fortunately, Kankuro came back in time.

In any case, the mission of sending Gaara safely to the Third Trial Tournament did not fail, and Daimaru did not have to bear those unpredictable responsibilities with great risk of death.

In front of the podium, Morino Ihiki said in a deep voice:

Before the tenth exam question is announced, each of you must first face a desperate choice.

You have the right to withdraw from this Chunin Exam and come back next time. As long as one person in the team chooses to withdraw, the other two teammates will automatically lose the qualification to continue the exam; you can also choose to answer the tenth exam question. but……

The examiner said with a smile,

If you choose to answer the question but fail to do it correctly, regardless of your previous performance, you will be deprived of the Chunin Exam qualification, and you will no longer have the opportunity to take the Chunin Exam! In other words, you will be a genin for the rest of your life...

why is it like this?

As soon as Morino Ihiki finished speaking, the candidates in the audience took a deep breath.

Such a choice is too cruel!

Shut up, you scum! Didn't I already say that this is a desperate choice? Stop talking nonsense. If you want to stay, just shut up. If you want to give up, you can leave now!

After a while of whispering, the entire examination room fell into an eerie silence. Everyone was thinking carefully and observing the reactions of other candidates.

After a while, withdrawal statements began to appear one after another. Team after team of candidates could not bear the inner torture and failed under the final mental torture.

What makes Daimaru feel the most pity is the strong sand ninja Yuno, Shishio and Koji's team.

The seemingly weak female ninja Yuno and the unshowy Shishio were calm and collected, but the domineering Koji actually raised his hands and quit. The unwilling Yuno and Shishio had to get up and leave the examination room.

snort! The more complacent and intoxicated a guy is in his own cleverness, the more he knows how to weigh the pros and cons, and the harder it will be to pass the tenth question! 』

Morinoi Hikiru thought.

The most dangerous thing among Konoha's genin is the poor condition of Team 10, especially Nara Shikamaru. He thinks too much and is immature, which is the biggest hidden danger in this situation.

All three members of the team received blank scores. Nara Shikamaru and Yamanaka Ino also had a record of cheating and were deducted two points. Class 10, which has accumulated negative four points, is on the verge of being eliminated.

In addition, Suna Ninja Daimaru, who shows off his cleverness, is a ninja who in Morino Ihiki's mind is very likely to fall short and be eliminated.

The examiner looked at Daimaru's position. This guy who had been arrogant for nearly an hour now had the fingers of his hands crossed and placed in front of his forehead. His head was slightly lowered, so that no one could see his expression clearly.

Are you planning a new strategy to disturb the enemy, or are you hesitating whether to withdraw? 』

Nighteye, who was observing the whole crowd, looked at Daimaru who had no reaction with worry, fearing that he might do something unexpected again.

However, thinking of Daimaru's instructions before the exam, Yemu calmed down and waited patiently for things to develop.

Qian, who had just recovered from his own genjutsu, was lying on the table to rest languidly. Without Daimaru's instructions from Yame, it seemed that he didn't want to move at all.

As more and more teams choose to withdraw, the already somewhat empty examination room becomes more vacant.

Nara Shikamaru, who had never encountered such a predicament as today, nervously bit the dead skin on the joint of his right index finger, suppressed the anxiety in his heart, and thought about the possibility of passing the first level of the Chunin Exam.

The examiner announced the tenth question in advance. It was obvious that the elimination rate was too fast and the number of qualified people was expected to be far less than the expected proportion, so the rules were modified. However, it is still too much to place our hopes on teams with more negative points than Class 10. Also, is it worth taking the risk of being a genin for a lifetime and taking a chance that has a low chance? I don't really care, what will Choji and Ino think? 』

The distraught Nara Shikamaru looked at the culprit, Daimaru, who was bowing his head in thought!

Is that guy also struggling? It seems that the examiner also hit the nail on the head! 』
