A Journey to the Heavens Beginning with Pirates

Kunai passed by his face, and Naruto's heart almost stopped. This...he hadn't copied it yet!Was it discovered just like that? !

Naruto turned his neck stiffly and looked in the direction where the kunai had just been shot. It was an invigilator. The other person was indeed looking in his direction, but his eyes were not on him, but on him. , behind him!

Naruto turned around stiffly again and saw the kunai just now. At this time, it was quietly thrust in front of the examinee behind Naruto, nailing the test paper to the table.

At this time, the shocked examinee also regained his senses. He stood up with a bang and said to the invigilator who had just thrown the kunai as if he had been wronged: "What on earth are you doing?!"

The invigilator was not annoyed and said slowly: "If you cheat five times, ten points will be deducted. In other words, you have zero points now. You, along with your two teammates, will be disqualified!"

The examinee was shocked, but he was not willing to be eliminated. He argued: "Why do you say I cheated? Where is the evidence?!"

Unfortunately, his messing around has no effect.

Can the invigilator accept this grievance?He has learned grappling skills for several years!With a teleportation technique, he disappeared from where he was and came to the unlucky candidate in an instant, directly pressing him down!

The examinee who had his fate choked was struggling weakly, but he heard the invigilator say in the same slow tone as before: "Our strength is the evidence. You are out, and your teammates, please come to the examination room immediately!"

In an instant, there were three less people in the examination room. They were the first batch of people to be eliminated early, and their elimination seemed to have caused a chain reaction, and people were eliminated one after another.

Seeing this, Naruto's face turned green, and the thought of copying Hinata's paper that had just arisen immediately disappeared completely.

He said to Hinata: "I will inherit the name of Hokage in the future, how can I cheat to pass the exam! And I can't hurt you!"

Looking at Naruto, the blush on Hinata's face became more and more obvious. In fact, Naruto didn't think much about what he said, but it was obvious that Hinata's focus was all on the second half of the sentence.

But she didn't know that at this moment, Naruto was feeling regretful for rejecting her. Ah, he was trying to be brave again, what should he do?Right now, the tenth question, which has not yet been announced, becomes the only chance.God bless you!There must be a question that I can do!I just need to score one point!

Just as Naruto finished praying, the second hand finally completed its last lap, and 45 minutes had passed since the exam time.

At this time, most of the candidates had actually completed the previous parts. Seeing that the time had come, they all turned their attention to Ibiki on the podium.

Yibixi did not keep them waiting for long. He cleared his throat habitually and then said:

"Okay, the exam has been going on for 45 minutes. Now, I'm going to announce the tenth question! But before that, I want to add a new rule!"

Good guy, there is also an operation to add rules halfway!Everyone felt as uncomfortable as Hinata Akamaru.

Ibixi ignored the exam with different expressions and continued:

"Well, it's actually very simple. That is, you have to make a choice! Now, you can choose not to answer the tenth question!"

Um?Don't answer the tenth question?What the hell kind of choice is this? !

Temari, who was sitting behind, interrupted at this time: "Then, what will be the consequences if you give up answering the tenth question?"

Ibixi said: "Ah, what I was about to say is that if you give up the tenth question, you will get zero points directly! In other words, that person's team will be eliminated directly!"

Hearing this, everyone's expressions changed. Is it necessary to choose this?Of course, you choose to do it. Even if you make a mistake, it will only deduct one point!

Unexpectedly, they heard Ibixi say again:

"Ah, but if you choose to answer question ten and get it wrong, then..."

After saying this, Ibiki's face became solemn. Matching the scars on his face, he felt a sense of oppression. Anyway, Naruto had already heard the sound of someone swallowing saliva next to him. If it had been before, Naruto would have been overwhelmed by Ibiki at this moment. His aura was awe-inspiring, and he was so nervous that he swallowed his saliva, but now, compared to Su Yu, Yibixi is really far behind...

Then Ibiki continued: "Then, this person will forever lose the qualification to participate in the Chunin Exam! In other words, this person will always be a genin!"

As soon as this statement came out, the audience was silent!

Everyone was shocked by this earth-shattering "rule" for a moment. What the hell kind of rule is this!

Especially Naruto, he was stunned.

At this time, a passer-by ninja stood up and shouted: "You guys, stop joking! Why are there such outrageous rules! There is someone here who is not taking the Chunin Exam for the first time!"

Yibixi was not angry, he said: "You are right, but I am the examiner this time! I added this rule! If you are not satisfied, you can choose not to answer the tenth question! Anyway, it's just a wait. Next chuunin exam!"

The man clenched his fists unwillingly, and finally sat down slumped. He couldn't accept that the exam would stop because of this weird rule, but he really wasn't sure about the tenth question that hadn't been announced yet!

And this is exactly what everyone is struggling with!

Even top academics like Sakura Hinata are not confident that they can do it!

The atmosphere froze for a moment. In fact, some people already wanted to give up. After all, the words "forever losing the qualifications for the Chunin Exam" were like a curse, echoing in their minds, but they didn't want to be the first to do it. The chosen one.

Seeing this, Ibiki added: "If you are not confident in answering the tenth question, you can choose to give up. It doesn't matter. You just lose the qualification for this exam. The Chunin exam is held twice a year. Next time You can also participate, but you must think clearly that the price of answering the tenth question incorrectly will be your permanent disqualification! Forever! Become a genin!"

Ibixi's words were like the devil's temptation, lingering in everyone's ears, and this became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

People will always become weaker when they have a way out, so for those with weak minds, their choices are already doomed.

In the deathly silence, someone finally couldn't resist the breathless pressure and raised his hand. The moment he raised his hand and chose to give up, he seemed to have been drained of all his strength in an instant and sat down paralyzed. In his seat, for a moment, he and his teammates left the examination room together.

And if there is one, there are two. It’s just a matter of raising your hands. It’s very easy. If you raise your hands, you don’t have to suffer anymore. So, one after another, people raised their hands.

As there are fewer and fewer people in the examination room, the pressure in Naruto's heart is increasing every second. For Naruto, inheriting the name of Hokage is his life goal and supports him to keep moving forward. The motivation to go, and chunin is the only way to go in this direction. At this time, he must make a choice, whether to give up this opportunity for promotion, or take a gamble. If he succeeds, everyone will be happy. If he fails, he will fall into the abyss!

Behind, Sakura stared closely at Naruto, who had his head lowered, and thought to herself, "Give up, Naruto, don't worry about me and Sasuke, and don't be stubborn. With your knowledge, the probability of being able to solve the unknown tenth question is too high." If it’s too low, you’ll be permanently disqualified!

Ibixi on the stage had finished speaking, so he remained silent and kept scanning the candidates present. His gaze was also the source of pressure for everyone.

Under a mountain of pressure, and having to make a decision with very serious consequences in a short period of time, most people's minds will be in a state of confusion. (By the way, this is also a common method of fraud)

In this suffocating atmosphere, Naruto's hand slowly trembled and was raised.

When Sakura and Sasuke saw that Naruto was planning to give up, they didn't make a fuss. Although Naruto's raise of his hand meant that they would be eliminated directly, they didn't mean to blame Naruto. Sakura even breathed a sigh of relief. .

But when Naruto raised his hand to the highest point and his lips moved to speak, he hesitated. If he gave up just like that at this moment, would he still be qualified to become Hokage?

Naruto, shouldn't he never give up, constantly overcome difficulties and create a better future with those who recognize him?If he gave up just because of a small difficulty, wouldn't he be giving up on his nindo? !

Do not!no!

Thinking of this, Naruto's raised hand suddenly slammed hard on the table, and then said loudly:

"I will not give up! I am the one who wants to inherit the Hokage's will! How is it possible to give up for such a ridiculous reason? Don't look down on others too much!"

Later, Naruto was directly deprived of the exam qualification for disturbing the order of the examination room...

Just kidding, the real situation is that Ibiki glanced at Naruto and said:

"Are you sure? You know, if you give the wrong answer, you will forever lose the qualification to be promoted to Chunin!"

Naruto said without hesitation: "So what? Even if I have to be a genin for the rest of my life, I will become Hokage as a genin! Don't underestimate me! Doing what I say is my way of ninja!"

This was what Naruto told himself to clarify his ambition.

However, his words made those who were originally wavering become firm.

Sakura looked "defeated by you" and covered her face helplessly, while Sasuke was also speechless.

Ibi was overjoyed and scanned the examination room. He looked at the remaining 78 people. If it hadn't been for the boy's words, only half of them would have been left. He felt helpless and relieved at the same time.

The people who stayed behind were waiting for Ibixi to reveal the tenth question and prepare for the final trial. Unexpectedly, the man who had a serious face before suddenly laughed.

"Now, I declare that for those who choose to stay, you have all passed the first Chuunin selection exam!"
