Shadow of the Four Generations of Konoha

Chapter 39, Chunin Selection Exam: The First Round (Revised)

The reactions of Izumi Uchiha and Genzo were within Kamano's expectation. After all, I almost disappeared from their eyes for a whole week. When I met them, I was late with such an unknown reason, which really made people unhappy.

"Hey, Kamano! In your eyes, Izumi and Genzo are the only ones?" A girl came out from behind Uchiha Izumi and said dissatisfiedly looking at Kamano.

"Ah..."

Kamano looked at this girl with some familiarity: gray short robe, black ponytail, a piece of red oil paint on each of her good-looking faces, and three identical little gray dogs lying on her feet.

"Inuzuka... Hana! Why are you here?"

Seeing the girl's increasingly hostile expression, Kamano finally remembered that she was the older sister of Inuzuka Ya, one of the "Konoha Twelve Powers", and her name was blurted out immediately.

"Hmph, I'm not the only one, this year's graduates are all here."

After Inuzuka Hana finished speaking, she staggered her body, revealing several figures behind her: Makoto Kondo, Jujuro Hijikata, Satoru Okita, Imai, Junsuke, Hirako, Sasaki, and Iris.

Kamano was surprised to recognize for a while, these people seemed to be his classmates who graduated in the same period, and they were also members of the four ninja classes who passed this year, but it seems that they didn't sign up for the competition, right?

So he asked in surprise: "Didn't you sign up? What are you doing here?"

"I heard that after a certain class signed up for the Chunin selection exam beyond their means, we came here specially to 'see them off'. After all, we can only remember them through photos in the future!" Okita Satoru said first.

"Ahaha, Okita Satoru, what you said is too much!"

Kondo laughed a few times in embarrassment, walked over and pulled Okita Satoru aside, and then explained to the Kamano three:

"Don't get me wrong, he didn't mean you're 'dead', but he was worried that you were 'dead', so he specifically reminded you that you were 'dead'."

"After listening to your explanation, we are really dead..."

Kamano couldn't help but spit in his heart, then looked around, and found that other contestants had already entered the examination room, so he didn't bother to talk to the group of guys in front of him, signaling that Uchiha Izumi and Genzo should enter.

"Hey, don't get me wrong, we don't mean any ill intentions, but after hearing that you are going to participate in the Chunin selection, come over and have a look, and cheer you up by the way!"

Inuzuka Hana showed a smile on her face, and said: "After all, we all graduated at the same time, so we are still very optimistic about you!"

"Hehe... just looking forward to it?"

When Kamano heard the end, he couldn't help but stop, looked at Inuzuka Hana a few times, and said jokingly: "If we really pass the exam, would you like to be Genzo's girlfriend?"

"Huh?" Genzo was stunned. Although Inuzuka Hana looks good, I like Izumi Uchiha!
"Ah...", Inuzuka Hana didn't expect Kamano to say that suddenly. She glanced at Genzo, and found that there was a "hesitating" expression on the other party's face. became:
"Okay! If you can survive the trials!! But I'm afraid you won't even be able to pass the death forest!!"

"Death forest??!!"

Izumi Uchiha was taken aback. It was a perilous primeval forest deep in Konoha's back mountain. Because there were various unknown beasts living in it, it was a forbidden place of death specially enclosed by Konoha.

"Ah ha ha... I just said that casually..." Inuzuka Hana, who realized that she had leaked the secret, slapped haha, didn't mention the "Death Forest", and hurriedly slipped away after a few perfunctory words. When people saw this, they also swarmed away...

"It seems that these members of the Konoha clan have more or less understood the content of the Chunin selection... Aunt Baiyun is still foolishly keeping it secret..."

Kamano muttered to himself, then patted Genzo, who was in a daze, and said, "Genzo, she is yours now." Then he entered the first examination room without looking back.

"what……"

Genzo showed a dumbfounding expression on his face, and then watched Uchiha Izumi walk over with his mouth covered, and said with a snicker, "Hana is my best friend, you have to take good care of her, or I won't spare you!"

"But, but..."

Genzo looked at Izumi Uchiha's back, hesitatingly wanted to say but I like you, but for some reason, the words turned into "I like cats more."

But at this time, Izumi Uchiha had already entered the examination room, Genzo sighed, thinking, Kamano is right, Taurus boys are really not good at expressing feelings...

……

Konoha No. [-] examination room looks like a ring-shaped building, like a flattened hamburger, with two floors. The first floor is the registration office, and the second floor is the real examination room:

In a large classroom, there are more than a dozen long examination tables neatly arranged. Each table can seat five people, and there is a distance of about one meter between each person.

After the candidates took their positions according to their randomly issued number plates, the ninjas in charge of the test also appeared:
They were wearing the iconic dark gray trench coats of members of the Konoha Interrogation Department, and the tall, tall man in a dark coat with two long scars on his face was none other than Morino, the head of the Interrogation Department. Nobihi.

He stood on the podium expressionlessly, glanced at all the candidates under the stage with his stern eyes, and said coldly after a while:
"I'm the examiner of the first Chunin selection exam, Hiki Morino, here are some rules to announce, you idiots, let me hear it clearly, because I won't answer any questions afterwards!"

"Gu", all the candidates including Kamano were under the gaze of Morinono Hiki, and felt that the air temperature around them seemed to have dropped by more than ten degrees, and a murderous aura filled the air...

"NO. 1, this exam takes the form of a point reduction system, and everyone has 10 points from the beginning!
There are a total of 3 questions in the written test, and 7 point will be deducted for [-] wrong answer!Get [-] wrong answers and get [-] points! "

"No. 2, whether you are qualified or not depends on the total score of your group. As long as one team member gets zero points in the test, the whole group will also be kicked out of this test!"

"NO. 3, during the exam, if someone is found to be cheating, 2 points will be deducted until the deduction is exhausted!

So, is anyone quitting? ", Morinono Hiki looked around and saw no one responded, so he put down a stack of test papers and asked his subordinates to distribute the test papers.

"Finally, I would like to remind you that the exam will last for one hour, and the tenth question will be issued 45 minutes after the exam. Then, I announce that the exam begins!!!"

Hiki Morino announced the start of the exam with a big wave of his hand, and the ninja invigilators behind him also took their positions and scattered to every corner of the exam room, holding paper and pens in their hands and staring at every move of the candidates.

"Hehe... you are indeed the head of the interrogation department who is playing with psychology, and you can completely calm down this group of candidates with just a few words..."

Knowing Morinono Hiki's routines well, Kamano opened the test paper calmly, looked at the 9 questions above, and really had a feeling of "these questions are so familiar, but I just can't remember them".

Forget it, you can write whatever you want, anyway, the purpose of this exam is to test the candidates' ability to obtain information under severe conditions--as a Chunin, the captain of a team, if you don't even have this ability, then What are you doing ninja? !

What's more, the first 9 questions of this exam are just tests, and Hiki Morino's real trump card is the tenth psychological question! !

After all, in the face of the unknown, people are easily collapsed by the pressure they put on themselves, and this is exactly the quality Morinono Hiki values—the ability to maintain a calm mind and solve problems in desperate situations!
