Chapter 51 Possessed by the Sage of Learning
Before Haruko could speak again, Kakashi Hatake quickly made way for her, saying, "Alright, let's go in."
Kakashi Hatake couldn't help but regret coming today. He was originally worried that the three of them might not all attend, but given their unbreakable bond, it turned out he had worried for nothing.
Haruko Hayama, who had already entered the room, suddenly popped her head out.
"Kakashi-sensei, remember to buy groceries! We'll come celebrate with you when we successfully pass the Chunin Exams!"
Haruko Hayama was completely unaware of how arrogant her words were, and of course, her only listener, Kakashi Hatake, didn't think she was overestimating herself.
"Okay... I'll try my best."
"Try your best?" Haruko squinted at him for a few seconds before finally closing the door.
Kakashi Hatake, arrived with pride, and left with dead fish eyes.
Wow—there are so many people!
Looking at the hostile gazes filling the classroom, Haruko couldn't help but sigh that ninjas were still far more ruthless.
"Sasuke, you're so slow!" Yamanaka Ino, who spotted her beloved at a glance, rushed towards them and hugged Uchiha Sasuke from behind.
"I've been eagerly anticipating seeing Sasuke again after so long!"
Sakura Haruno angrily interrupted, "Stay away from Sasuke! You fat pig Ino!"
Caught between the two, Sasuke Uchiha ruthlessly broke free from Ino Yamanaka's grasp, strode up behind Haruko Hayama, and gave her a resentful look.
It looked like a cat that had been teased coming to its owner to cry and complain about why it wasn't saved from the fire.
Following Yamanaka Ino, Nara Shikamaru caught a glimpse of Hayama Haruko in the crowd and casually walked to her other side with his hands in his pockets.
"What? You guys have to take this kind of troublesome exam?"
"Shikamaru, it's been a long time!" Haruko Hayama looked at him with bright eyes as she saw him approach. "Shikamaru has finally shown some motivation for once. I'm so touched!"
"..." Nara Shikamaru's stance froze.
Uchiha Sasuke on the other side: Heh.
Kiba Inuzuka and the other two also came over. "It's really rare to have everyone here."
"You...hello..." Hinata Hyuga couldn't hide her blush and secretly glanced at Naruto Uzumaki, who looked completely bewildered.
"I see. So all the new genin this year have come to take the exam?" Kiba Inuzuka looked around and finally fixed his gaze on Sasuke Uchiha. "So how far can we go? What do you think, Sasuke?"
“You’re quite composed, Kiba,” Sasuke Uchiha retorted calmly.
Hinata Hyuga poked her finger and took small steps to Naruto Uzumaki's side. "I'm sorry, Naruto... Kiba didn't mean to say that..."
“Akamaru…” Akimichi Choji was attracted by the Akamaru on Inuzuka’s fang. “It looks delicious.”
Just as he was about to step on the insects on the ground, Shino Aburame stepped forward to block him, saying, "Don't step on them."
Following his gaze to the ants crawling on the ground, Choji Akimichi pondered for a few seconds before posing the probing question: "Do you want to eat this?"
"..."
Haruko silently wiped away her sweat; the scene seemed a bit too chaotic...
"Quiet down! You bunch of useless trash!"
A man with long, thin scars crisscrossing his face appeared at the door, followed by a large group of proctoring ninjas. He then scanned each participant in the room with a sharp gaze.
"I apologize for keeping you waiting. I am the examiner for the first Chunin Selection Exam—Ibiki Morino."
The first test for the Chunin Selection is a written test. Whether you pass or fail is determined by a group of three. If you are caught cheating, you will be penalized.
Most importantly, if even one person in the group fails, the group is considered to have failed.
Haruko happened to be sitting across Hinata from Naruto in the morning. She mouthed "Go for it!" to him, and Naruto smiled and gave her a thumbs up.
The exam has officially begun.
Honestly, isn't this question a bit too difficult?
Haruko Hayama never expected to see mathematics and physics intertwined in the ninja world, which made her think of the "red college entrance examination" system.
Naruto probably couldn't solve this kind of problem; even she struggled with it.
Wait a minute, if the questions are this difficult, isn't that just enticing people to cheat?!
Haruko felt she had discovered the key point.
Everyone around had started writing, but most of them wrote a little and then stopped, especially Naruto Uzumaki, whose cold sweat had become a tangible reality.
Undisturbed by her surroundings, Haruko focused on writing her test paper in the morning. Fortunately, there weren't many questions, and she still had a third of the time left after finishing.
She glanced at Naruto out of the corner of her eye, who was so flustered that he hadn't even picked up his pen. Sasuke should have already discovered the truth about the exam, so she only needed to worry about Naruto.
“Constructing an illusion.”
When Haruko opened her eyes again in the morning, the intricate magic array in her vision was spinning rapidly.
Her eye technique, Illusion, does not require eye contact. As long as she precisely controls her chakra to invade the other person's brain, severing the connection of sensory nerves and instead connecting with her chakra, the other person will be immersed in the illusion she has woven.
However, this method can only be used to cast ordinary illusions and cannot bring the real body into the illusion.
"Huh! Aren't I still taking an exam?"
Naruto, who was scratching his head, suddenly found himself in a world of warm light.
“Naruto!” Haruko Hayama walked up to him.
"Haruko? Is this some kind of illusion you're experiencing?"
“That’s right.” Without further ado, Haruko conjured up a test paper she had written down in her hand. “My answers are recorded here. Write them down quickly.”
Naruto was overjoyed and wept tears of joy as he quickly accepted the sacred object that had helped him escape his suffering.
"These questions are beyond our comprehension, and the examiners have emphasized the penalties for cheating, so I think this written test is designed to get us to cheat."
"Is that really how it is?!" The golden retriever stared in disbelief, as if it couldn't believe that such a bad person existed in the world.
"Alright Naruto, hurry up and memorize it, there's not much time left."
"Yosh! We're going to win this exam!"
After emerging from the illusion, Naruto Uzumaki was full of energy. The moment he picked up the pen, he felt like he was possessed by a master scholar!
...
The second test will be held in Training Ground 44, also known as the Forest of Death, where they will engage in extreme wilderness survival challenges and scroll-grabbing battles.
Mitarashi Anko's playful expression vanished, replaced by a solemn look. "One last piece of advice for everyone: Don't die!"
Haruko and her two companions received the Heavenly Scroll and quickly made their way towards the tower after entering the forest.
"Wait, I suddenly really need to go to the bathroom!" Naruto Uzumaki shuddered, looking embarrassed.
Haruko stopped in the morning and helplessly urged him to hurry up. After receiving permission, Naruto Uzumaki ran off happily.
