I rely on myself

Chapter 690 Examination Status

Only then did everyone see clearly the figure that jumped out. It was a man wearing a gray robe, with a strange device on his right arm, his face wrapped in a large number of bandages with only one eye exposed, and a forehead protector with a musical note logo on his head. It was the ninja from the Hidden Sound Village.

He looked at the pharmacist who had been lying on the ground for a long time and did not get up, and sneered: "Hehe, seeing the arrogance you mentioned before, I thought you were so powerful. Here is a piece of advice for you. Write on those so-called ninja knowledge cards of yours that the three people from Otogakure will definitely pass this exam."

Now, everyone understood why this ninja from Otogakure attacked Kabuto Yakushi, because when Kabuto Yakushi was explaining intelligence from various countries to Naruto and the others, he commented that Otogakure was an unknown newly established ninja village in a small country and there was nothing great about it.

It was because of hearing these words that this Sound Ninja held a grudge and launched a sneak attack on Kabuto Yakushi.

Seeing their senior, Kabuto Yakushi, being knocked to the ground and even being ridiculed, Naruto and the others certainly couldn't bear it and wanted to take action, but a huge noise interrupted their actions.

Along with a burst of smoke, a dozen Konoha ninjas wearing Chunin vests suddenly appeared on the classroom podium. The leader was extremely oppressive. As soon as he appeared, he shouted, "All of you guys, be quiet. I am Morino Ibiki, the examiner of this round of exams. Everyone, take your seats. The exam is about to begin!"

Facing Morino Ibiki, who was the examiner, no matter how unhappy they were with his attitude, the candidates present could only silently obey his wishes and sit in the pre-assigned seats.

As the test papers were distributed to each candidate, the first round of examinations officially began. Although on the surface this round of examinations was a written test, it was actually a test of the intelligence gathering ability of the candidates present.

Soon more and more candidates understood the true nature of this exam. For a while, it could be said that there were all kinds of tricks, and every candidate used his or her own unique skills to collect information around him or her.

As time went on, some candidates whose methods were not covert enough were quickly caught by the examiners around them and eliminated directly.

The elimination of one or two candidates may not be a big deal, but if the number increases, the atmosphere in the examination room will change, and the remaining candidates will all feel an inexplicable pressure.

In this situation, Morino Ibiki then used another trick, "Question 10". Before announcing the title of the tenth question, he added a rule to the candidates present.

That is, once you decide to answer the tenth question, if you cannot answer it successfully, then not only will you be eliminated, but you will also not be able to take part in the Chunin examination in the future, which means you can only be a Jeunkin for the rest of your life. On the contrary, if you give up answering, you will be eliminated along with your companions, but you can continue to take part in the Chunin examination in the future.

As soon as this rule came out, the already heavy pressure on the candidates instantly increased several times. Several people were overwhelmed on the spot and gave up the exam directly.

This scene instantly caused a lot of chain reactions, causing one candidate after another to choose to give up. But at this moment, Uzumaki Naruto suddenly stood up and spoke loudly some inspiring words, instantly sweeping away the heavy pressure in the hearts of the candidates in the examination room.

But before these candidates could be happy about passing the first round of examinations, the examiner for the second round of examinations unexpectedly broke into the classroom through the window and appeared in front of everyone. At the same time, a huge painting with the words "second round of examinations" was nailed directly to the blackboard on the podium.

It just happened to cover Morino Ibiki, the examiner of the first round of candidates, and an extremely clear figure emerged.

Everyone present was stunned by this scene, not knowing how to react. "Master Lin Yuan, there is a letter from Konoha that I want you to check."

"Okay, trouble."

After Lin Yuan took the letter, he opened it and started reading. After a while, Xiu saw that Lin Yuan didn't seem to be in a daze at all, and was very curious about the content of the letter, so she asked directly.

"Excuse me, Lord Lin Yuan, what is the content of the letter..."

To be honest, Xiu's question was undoubtedly a bit too much, but fortunately Lin Yuan himself didn't mind it and answered directly.

"Nothing, just a simple invitation. Konoha... or rather, the Third Hokage wanted to invite me to personally go to Konoha to participate in the final round of the Chunin Exam. It seems that Rei's presence has stimulated him, so he wants to test us in this way."

Lin Yuan said this with a smile. In fact, he had anticipated such a result when he sent Uchiha Rei to take part in the Chunin examination, so everything seemed so orderly at this moment.

Xiu's expression did not change after hearing this, which showed that he also knew about this. However, after some hesitation, Xiu still asked, "Although I have anticipated your thoughts, sir, I still suggest that, to be on the safe side, let someone else go. After all, your status will somewhat irritate the other party, right?"

When saying this, Xiu's face was very serious, and Lin Yuan naturally heard that Xiu was thinking about him, but even so, he didn't want to give up this rare opportunity to go out, so he replied.

"Okay, Xiu, I have my own reasons for insisting on doing this, otherwise you can just regard it as my own will."

Lin Yuan had already said this, Xiu naturally had nothing to say, so she could only smile bitterly and replied: "Yes..."

Back to Konoha's Chunin Exam, under the leadership of the second round examiner Anko Miyabi, many candidates came to a place called the Forest of Death. Naturally, this place was the location of the second round of exams.

With the examiner's explanation, the candidates learned about their goal for this exam. First, each team could get one of the two scrolls, Heaven and Earth. Then, in the next three days, they would move around in the Death Forest, find the team holding the other scroll and snatch the scroll. Then, they would go to the surveillance tower in the center of the forest to pass the second round of exams.

As the exam began, all teams rushed into the examination room called the Death Forest and took different actions, some hiding, some rushing directly to the central surveillance tower, some lurking and moving slowly, or finding the target by some means and rushing straight towards it.

This is the case with Team 7. One of their members was targeted by someone who was undoubtedly an out-of-the-ordinary person, and was even forced to intervene.
