Avengers of the Whirlpool Family.

Chapter 78 The First Written Exam

"Aren't you here to participate as well, Shikamaru?"

Menma said with a small smile.

To be honest, there are not many people in the Hidden Leaf Village that Menma does not dislike, and even has a little good impression of. Shikamaru is definitely one of them. No matter Shikamaru's intelligence or personality, neither of them makes people feel disgusted. Generally speaking, people are happy to make friends with such people. However, for Menma, who is unwilling to follow the path of Naruto in the original novel, friends in the Hidden Leaf Village are a luxury.

It will appear naive and stupid.

Could it be that he also wants to create the so-called bond?
That's really a joke.

There might be such an opportunity someday in the future, but it would never be now. Or to be more precise, the bond he wanted was one that could stand side by side with him.

"Ah, I was forced to do that."

Shikamaru shrugged and said with an obviously helpless expression.

"It's great that you can take part in the Chunin Exams, but you still look unhappy, Shikamaru."

Naruto, who was standing next to him, also smiled and patted Shikamaru on the shoulder and said.

This made the helplessness on Shikamaru's face even more intense.

Sasuke still looked cool. Even when Shikamaru, Choji and others greeted him, Sasuke just nodded slightly in response.

If it were anyone else, they would think that Sasuke was provoking them, but Shikamaru and Choji were gentle in character, and as classmates, they had long been aware of Sasuke's arrogant personality.

"Oh? Menma-kun, you changed your clothes? Wow? You look much more attractive than before!"

At this stage, the focus is more on the girls' appearance.

The moment Ino saw Menma and others.

At first, all her attention was on Sasuke, but the next second she was attracted by Menma's new outfit, and her bright eyes also showed sparkling colors.

He said this with a tone of surprise.

"Yeah, Menma's outfit is indeed much more handsome than before."

Choji, who was standing by, nodded while eating snacks, and said to Menma happily.

"Well, thank you."

Menma replied with a smile.

"Tsk, how come all the good things get to you, Xiaoying? You are so lucky."

Ino also looked at Haruno Sakura with a hint of jealousy.

"Hehe, are you envious? It's a pity that you don't have such an opportunity, Ino."

Haruno Sakura said with her hands on her hips, looking very proud.

"Ahhh, how can I repair it? Your wide forehead is really irritating me."

"Well Boar!"

"Broad forehead!"

This is another familiar plot of girls loving and hating each other.

Menma, Shikamaru, Naruto, Choji and others have long been accustomed to it.

at the same time.

The three members of Class 8 on the other side also approached simultaneously.

They can be considered as ten people who are familiar with each other.

The conversation gradually became more heated.

This also caused dissatisfaction among some other Genin in the surrounding area. As they were also Genin from the Hidden Leaf Village, they naturally would not say anything. Even if they were indeed unhappy, this was still a ninja village after all, and they needed to maintain some superficial efforts.

But people from other ninja villages are not so easy to get along with.

"Hey, kid, this is not your home, be quiet. If you keep making noise, I will..."

A scarred man wearing a Takinin forehead protector stepped out with a very fierce expression.

Those arrogant words just spoken.

Before he finished speaking.

In the opposite position.

Menma turned around and took a step forward.

"boom!"

The terrifying chakra aura that burst out from his body far exceeded that of an ordinary Genin, as well as the faint cold murderous intent that permeated it.

"Oh? Then tell me, what do you want?"

Menma's expression changed as quickly as turning the pages of a book. He was smiling gently one second ago, but the next moment he had a grim look on his face, staring coldly at the scarred man, completely locking onto his aura.

The expression of that Taki ninja also changed, sweat suddenly seeped out of his forehead, and his body began to tremble uncontrollably.

This breath.

He is far stronger than myself.

"Um!?"

"This guy."

"He has killed more than one person."

"And judging by the aura of this chakra, this guy is no ordinary genin."

"It seems like he's a tough guy."

The other Genin around him also looked at Menma with a look of surprise.

In the crowd at the back.

Ningji, Rock Lee, Gaara, Kabuto Yakushi and others also looked towards where Menma was with different expressions.

There was also a timid-looking girl in the corner of the crowd, with the same fiery red hair as Menma. At this moment, she was looking at Menma with a hint of surprise and curiosity.

Everyone including Shikamaru, Kiba, Choji and others seemed to be getting to know Menma all over again.

In just less than half a year, the TOP1 of this session seems to have undergone earth-shaking changes.

"I, this..."

Completely intimidated by Menma's aura, the Taki nin seemed to be in a very embarrassing situation.

Unable to advance.

You can't retreat.

It happened at this delicate moment.

"Peng!"

The door above the classroom was suddenly pushed open.

"Crash!"

"Ta-ta-ta-ta!"

A group of ninjas wearing Konoha's standard vest uniforms stepped in, led by a man wearing a black coat and with a very fierce face.

"quiet!"

That fierce man walked straight to the podium, put his hands in his pockets, and scanned all the Genin present with his extremely cold eyes. His cold words also made most of the Genin present feel a chill in their hearts.

The Taki nin also took advantage of this step and quickly retreated to the side of his companion.

Menma glanced at the Taki ninja indifferently, and then focused all his attention on the man in black standing on the podium.

This person is the torture expert of Konohagakure Village.

"Hehe, it seems that everyone is very excited. I can understand this. After all, this is the Chunin Exam. However, I want to remind you here. No matter how excited you are, this is the examination room, and I am the examiner of your first round of examination. My name is Morino Ibiki. During the examination, all your actions must obey my command and meet my requirements. Once any behavior that I don't allow occurs, I will immediately disqualify him from the examination. Do you understand!?"

Ibiki looked at the Genin below with a stern expression, and every word he spoke was accompanied by a cold aura that permeated the air.

Even the most unruly among this group of Genin had to restrain his wildness a little.

Looking at the dead silence below.

Ibiki also nodded in satisfaction.

"Very good, then let's start your first test. Submit all your application forms and sit in the corresponding seats according to the numbers you received. This test is a written test."

Ibiki Morino gestured to several Konoha Chunins beside him to take out a paper box each, and then said the same thing to the many Genins in the classroom.

"Oh? A written test? Looks like this one will be easy."

After hearing Ibiki's words, and then seeing the Chunins holding the test papers.

A hint of joy suddenly appeared on Sakura's face.
