Konoha: Unable to learn ninjutsu, they had to develop their own.

Neji's intuition told him that Chiba must have his own plan, which he couldn't understand, but the Byakugan's advantage was...

Xiao Li's eyes lit up, his face full of admiration.

He had some doubts.

How could there be an exit that wasn't properly set up in such an exam?

Neji looked down at the spell, then looked behind him, and for a moment didn't know what to say.

"Ah."

Neji frowned.

Are you naive or foolish?

Neji remained silent, but obediently followed the other party's advice, using the genjutsu-covered wall as support to emerge from its edge.

I always have my eyes half-closed.

Tenten and Kazusa were embarrassed: "Neji, you guys came up too?"

A simple maze barrier—

The so-called "loopholes" are, of course, created by people.

Chiba is probably not a reckless person.

After crawling out of the gap, did the scene before my eyes change?

Then, Neji saw Chiba using chakra to create a drawing technique.

They just said they wanted to take another look, how come they went straight in now?

Chiba walked very slowly, as if each step was taken with utmost care.

"Oh! Chiba, you're amazing! You actually found a spot where you could squeeze out."

Simple illusions and buildings could not block his view.

But he knew that as a simple test outside the Chunin Exams, this barrier technique and illusion technique wouldn't be too difficult, enough for even genin like them to see through.

Neji doesn't understand barrier techniques.

Chiba reminded him in a low voice.

"Ah."

Many corridors have been reduced to one, and looking around, you can vaguely see the doors of classrooms.

By the time Chiba reached the second floor, he had basically figured out the true nature of this barrier technique.

A figure-eight corridor was transformed into a maze, creating a very simple entrance test for the exam.

If I had to point out a difficulty, it would be that it can make you lose your sense of direction.

This is a true beginner's guide.

If you can't find an exam venue, you don't even qualify to take the exam.

Wait until Mayi comes over.

"Shall we go into the examination room?"

I looked towards the exam hall every day.

From the moment they started talking, the Chunin teacher had been looking at them strangely, and she felt uneasy.

"No rush, let me add a few more strokes."

Chiba chuckled.

Neji initially thought Chiba was just patching up the gap he had "carved" out, but he didn't expect that this guy was so wicked that he even wanted to add something to the barrier technique.

He stared at Chiba in astonishment.

Then, he couldn't help but mourn for the people below.

Those people might think that Chiba would break through the illusions and barriers, and navigate through all the traps, so that they could travel unimpeded.

But what about reality?

This guy crawled out through a hole and ended up blocking the whole road.

In less than half a minute, Chiba completed the technique supplement.

He didn't do much; he just helped them fix a few loopholes and, incidentally, made the original correct path of the barrier go around back to the stairs, so that the poor lost people could "find their way back".

Inside the examination hall not far away.

"Lord Juan, aren't they breaking the rules?"

"..."

Juan was also a little confused.

She is in her early twenties and, while not exactly experienced, has presided over two Chunin Exams.

but.

This was the first time she had ever encountered a candidate like this.

and.

It took that guy less than a minute from going upstairs to starting to crack and modify the device.

The most amazing thing is.

The opponent broke through the barrier, but it did not affect the operation of the barrier.

Could it be that……

Has the opponent completely deciphered the barrier?

impossible!

She hesitated for a moment, then shook her head and said, "Let me think about it again."

After observing for a while, Juan's eyes became increasingly bright.

The child didn't go too far.

Although he cut off the original path, Chiba did not plug the gap he had "carved out".

In other words.

As long as the ninjas are strong enough, they can see through the small illusions and reach the examination hall.

It's just a bit more difficult.

Besides, these barrier techniques and illusions aren't really restricted-level ninjutsu; they're just illusions. If you really want to get out, you can easily find a way using the simplest methods.

But Chiba's skills...

She couldn't help but look at the not-so-tall child in surprise.

The disciple of the Copy Ninja.

It truly lives up to its name!

He couldn't help but admire it from the bottom of his heart.

downstairs.

"This guy didn't crack it? Or did he find a way out directly?"

Kankuro was somewhat surprised.

"It should be the latter."

Temari answered in a low voice.

"I'll go up first."

Kankuro led a small team up the stairs.

He had walked through this barrier countless times; he could find the exit even with his eyes closed. There was absolutely no... problem?

Kankuro pushed open the classroom door and saw a bunch of genin, as well as two familiar chunin from Sunagakure. He fell silent for a moment.

Not quite right.

It's different from before!

"Hahaha, this idiot."

The man in the bronze armor grinned.

As an undercover agent, he was loyal to Orochimaru, but that didn't mean he respected Sunagakure.

"..."

Dou pushed up his glasses.

Because of Orochimaru, Konoha gained a lot of initiative in this Chunin Exams, especially in the written exam, which was almost entirely Konoha's plan, but the setup and barrier techniques were clearly still the work of Sunagakure.

Logically speaking, the Sand Village ninja wouldn't have gone to the wrong place.

Obviously.

An unexpected turn of events occurred.

Kankuro's face was grim. He turned and went upstairs. This time, he came out of the stairs in less than half a minute.

"..."

He took a deep breath and then immediately activated the illusion dispel.

The illusion is lifted.

The Sand Village Chunin guarding the gate were speechless.

Why is this exam different from what we agreed on?

"If you can't find the way, then don't block everyone's way, okay?"

The Amegakure ninja grinned.

Kankuro was about to explode with anger when Temari pulled him aside.
