Traveling through Nagato, from conquering Konan to dominating the ninja world

In the third rest area, Sakura sat on the bench, anxiety written all over her face.

It turned out that after she walked out of the examination room, she realized the trap set by the test setter through discussions with other contestants.

The answer sheet that she handed in with full confidence turned out to be wrong? Sakura was in a state of panic!

Sakura stared at the ceiling with a dull look in her eyes, the violent temper deep inside her heart showing its fangs and claws.

"Damn it, damn it, damn it, damn it, damn it, damn it, damn it, damn it, the first test is so difficult! What the hell is going on? The guy who can come up with such a stupid idea must be an orphan without a father or a mother!!!"

"Well, it's rare for us to sit together like this, so why don't we get to know each other? We were in such a hurry to get into the examination room before that we didn't even know each other's names, right?"

Kaede from Takigakure asked the two teammates sitting next to her with a slightly shy tone.

"..." Sakura was immersed in her own world and did not answer.

On the side, Heitu sucked on a yogurt-flavored lollipop, crossed his legs, and said in a boastful tone, "Before asking someone else's name, it's only proper to tell them your own name first, right~?"

"That's right~!" Taki Feng said with a smile: "My name is Feng! From... Taki, no, from the Hidden Rain Village, please give me your guidance!"

"What? Your name is... Feng!?" Sakura stood up suddenly and looked at the girl in front of her who was the same age as her in shock.

Taki Feng was startled by her sudden reaction, "What, what happened?"

Sakura said quickly: "Sorry... I was really surprised because I know a boy whose name is also Feng!"

She was so happy: My temporary teammate is also named Feng? Could this be a sign that Feng Jun and I are destined to be together? It can only be this way! Otherwise, how could there be such a beautiful coincidence!

"Really?" Taki Feng scratched his head and said shyly, "Indeed, the name Feng is a bit neutral. I used to think so too! What's your name?"

Sakura hesitated a little and said, "My name is Haruno Sakura, just call me Sakura! Although our team will soon be disbanded, since we have known each other for a while, it would be nice to make friends!"

The team disbanded. Sakura meant that after the Chunin Exam, we would return to our respective villages, right? Taki Feng said without thinking, "Sakura? What a beautiful name!"

"Thank you! Your name is very nice, too!" Sakura's originally depressed mood was somewhat comforted by 'Maple'.

Taki Feng smiled and looked at Kurotsuchi: "What about you, the cool little sister from Iwagakure~!"

"Slurp!" Heitu pulled out the lollipop in his mouth and said casually, "My name doesn't have any meaning! My name is Heitu!"

Long Feng blinked a few times: "Heitu? You are so white, why are you called Heitu?"

Heitu smiled and said, "Then you'll have to ask a three-headed old man in our village~!"

Three heads? Oh my god! How big would that head be? Long Feng imagined a weird scene.

"Xiaoying, Kurotsuchi, nice to meet you! Hehe! If you think about it carefully, the three of us have names related to land! If we are lucky enough to enter the next exam, I think our teamwork will be extremely tacit!"

Hearing this, Sakura gave a bitter smile.

No hope, my answer sheet is useless. Unless both of you get full marks, this team will have a chance to advance.

But how is that possible? If I didn't notice the trap in the question, could you not notice it?

An hour later, the results of the first exam were announced, and the names of the groups that advanced to the second exam were posted in various rest areas.

The first team caused widespread heated discussion!

Jabuchi, Kimimaro, and Jūgo.

In the second rest area, Tiantian was puzzled: "Hey! What's going on? With the help of Ningci, Li Mingming and I figured out the test setter's trick! And we got the correct answer!"

"The three of us should have scored full marks! Even if the team at the top of the list also scored full marks, they should have tied for first place with us!"

Hyuga Neji's eyes flickered slightly: "I think the reason for the difference in ranking is probably the traces of erasure..."

"Traces of erasure? That means they used correction fluid!"

Neji said seriously, "Correction fluid is a chance for the contestants to pull back from the brink."

"Using correction fluid means that you have fallen into the trap of the test setter once when taking the test. Therefore, the full score of our third class and other full scores with similar situations are naturally of different value."

What Neji said actually makes sense. Perhaps this is the only explanation.

Tenten clenched his fists slightly. "So, this Jabami team at the top of the list has passed the test with perfect scores without any flaws? Doesn't that mean they discovered the trap? And three people discovered it at the same time? This kind of configuration is way beyond the capabilities of a Genin!!"

Ningci's eyes flickered slightly: "Perhaps, there is another possibility..."

In the eighth rest area, Feng looked at the top of the list with a frown on his face.

"Orochimaru, you wouldn't just suddenly... "

"Feng! Let's go! Gather at the Forest of Death!"

"okay."

……

At this moment, the review team of the marking group.

"Hey, look! These are the three test papers!"

"What's going on? Look at the answers. They are just normal perfect answer sheets without any correction fluid! This proves that the participating Genin immediately recognized the intention of the questioner and did not fall into the trap!"

"That's not the point of the question! The point is that you look at this answer sheet! The answers are all correct without a doubt! However, their solution to the most difficult question 10 is completely different from our standard answer and is more advanced!!!"

"What...!? Is there such a thing?? Doesn't this mean..."

The review team was shocked!!

The head of the review team, Nara Tomoin, pushed his thick glasses and said in a deep voice, "Jabakuba, Kimimaro, and Jūgo, these three answer sheets were answered independently by one of the three, and then the answers were passed on to the other two..."

"I've seen young ninjas at this age who are as talented as the Hokage as a ninja, but knowledge and ninjutsu talent are different!"

"Without amazing learning talent and years of knowledge accumulation, it would be impossible to answer this test paper independently!"

"Then there is only one possibility. The opponent has forged their age! Or even their identity and resume! I suggest that these three people be temporarily disqualified from participating in the next exam. After their identities are verified, then..."

"No need..." At this time, Morino Ibiki walked forward and took one of the three test papers.

"For the second exam, the contestants have gathered at the various entrances to the Forest of Death and are ready to enter. Even the Hokage is not in a position to show up at this time."

"Only the on-site examiner is given the power to respond on the spot and exercise a certain degree of arbitrariness."

Morino Ibiki put one hand in his pocket and looked at the name 'Jabu' on the test paper. He said in a deep voice.

"I will pass the controversial test paper to the examiner of the second test, Mitarashi Anko."
