Naruto: By lying low and hiding, he eventually became the leader of the Legendary Sannin.

With the three of them leading the way, the remaining candidates no longer hesitated and began to walk into their assigned numbered gates in twos and threes.

A few minutes later, the once crowded hall was completely empty, with only Kagura remaining.

Watching the crowd slowly disappear through the gate, Kagura finally breathed a sigh of relief and left with her hands behind her head.

For him, today's work was finally finished, and he could go home to take care of his pregnant wife.

work overtime?

That doesn't exist.

As for whether Minato's disciples were qualified, that was not even within Kagura's consideration.

If they can't even pass a Chunin Exam, then they shouldn't even think about becoming Hokage or clan leader.

Without a second thought, Kagura left without looking back.

Inside the Tower of Trials, on various staircases, figures, some thin and some strong, were slowly walking.

There were 93 qualified candidates, but only 10 entrances.

At first, the candidates thought they would need to work together to pass the test.

But after entering the door, they found that there were several forks in the road in front of them, and each road was so narrow that only one person could pass at a time.

At this moment, without needing anyone to remind them, these candidates instantly realized what was happening.

It seems that they will each have to choose a path for the assessment, and this assessment will be entirely about the individual.

Soon after, some candidates began to face their own assessments.

As Kagura had warned before, some roads lead to a room full of traps.

The test for candidates involves dodging various traps and mechanisms, reaching a certain spot in the room, and turning on a switch to reveal a secret passage leading directly to the top of the tower.

But more often than not, waiting for these candidates at the end of the road is a Jonin or Chunin from Konoha.

These candidates who encounter the examiners will face yet another tough battle.

Of course, their assessment was not intended to defeat the examiners, which would obviously be unfair.

After meeting the examiners, each examiner will present different challenges to these candidates.

The assessment will generally revolve around one of the fundamentals of ninja, such as ninjutsu, taijutsu, genjutsu, knowledge, or ninja tools.

As long as you reach the level that the examiners deem acceptable, you can pass smoothly.

However, most of these tests still involve combat, and only a small number of candidates are lucky enough to draw tests that do not require combat.

for example...

Stormy Water Gate.

After walking down a long, dark staircase, a door finally appeared in front of him.

Taking a deep breath and having mentally prepared himself, Minato opened the door in front of him.

As the door opened, an elderly man wearing glasses appeared in front of Shuimen.

Upon seeing the person's face, Minato was first taken aback, then revealed a strange expression.

He spoke with a hint of respect:

"Four-eyed..."

Oh no!

Lord Menyan! "

Upon hearing his voice, the old man in front of him slowly raised his head.

This person had a gray-white spiky hairstyle, wore glasses, and had a goatee under his mouth.

At first glance, this person's appearance is very ordinary, the kind that you would quickly forget after seeing them.

However, among the ninjas of Konoha Village, very few do not recognize him.

Because almost every time this old man appears, he sits behind the Hokage.

Everyone knows that many decisions in Konoha Village are made by this old man.

This was none other than Mitokado Homura, one of the two senior advisors of Konoha Village.

However, unlike other ninjas, Kagura not only showed no respect for this so-called senior advisor, but also looked down on him.

After all, Kagura knew very well that many of the tragedies in the original story were inseparable from the decisions of these two so-called senior advisors.

Therefore, no matter in front of her disciples, Kagura would always casually refer to Mitokado Homura as "that four-eyed guy."

After a while, Minato almost unconsciously blurted out "Four Eyes" as his teacher would have called him.

Fortunately, he stopped it in time.

Seemingly ignoring Minato's disrespectful words, Mitokado looked Minato up and down, who was rubbing the cold sweat on his forehead, and suddenly nodded.

He stared into Shuimen's eyes and said:

"Ah, very good.

To be honest, the candidate I most hope will push open this door is you.

Upon hearing this, Minato was taken aback, but he didn't say anything. He simply lowered his head and stood silently in place.

Mitokado Homura didn't seem to care, and simply continued speaking to himself:

"I saw what happened during the second assessment. To be honest, you did very well."

Both his personal abilities and leadership skills are outstanding among those genin.

Don't worry, the candidates who come here don't need to fight.

My assessment will consist of answering my questions.

He paused here, looking at the water gate in front of him, and said:

"You've come to take the exam this time to be promoted to Chunin. Before that, I'd like to ask you something."

Do you know what the biggest difference is between a genin and a chunin?

Upon hearing this question, Minato paused for a moment before giving the standard answer:

The biggest difference between Chunin and Genin...

Chunin can serve as squad leaders, leading genin on missions.

Therefore, Chunin have greater abilities and responsibilities than Genin.

Because when he's on a mission, he's no longer carrying the weight of one person on his shoulders, but the lives of an entire squad.

Upon hearing this answer, Mitokado Homura nodded in satisfaction, and then said:

"Yes, Not Bad.

So the question I want to ask today is...

If you are given two choices in a specific situation when you are carrying out a mission in the future.

One option is to abandon the mission, but you can save the lives of your squad members.

However, failure of that mission could lead to the deaths of more of his comrades.

The other option is to continue the mission; you have a high chance of completing it based on your individual abilities.

However, the squad members you lead will surely die in the enemy's encirclement.

In this situation, which approach would you choose?

Upon hearing this question, Minato was stunned.

Chapter 65 Those who abandon their companions are worse than trash.

If Kagura were here, she would instantly recall the train problem from her previous life.

The so-called train problem is roughly about a train on a railway that can't stop.

There are two railway tracks in front of it, one with 3 people on it and the other with 10 people on it.

The control that determines the train's direction is in your hands. Which one would you choose?

This is a rather shameless question, because it seems that neither answer is correct.

Seeing Minato struggling in front of him, Mitokado Homura did not urge him, but stood there quietly, waiting for his answer.

This seemingly probing question of human nature actually doesn't require much thought from him.

As a high-ranking member of Konoha, he had faced similar choices countless times in his life.

Perhaps he would have felt a little reluctant at first, but having experienced many things, he is now able to make his choice calmly.

As a high-ranking official in Konoha, his primary concern is always the safety of the majority.

Just like what the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, did.

When he was ambushed by Kinkaku and Ginkaku back then, he also chose to sacrifice himself so that the future, with more possibilities, could escape back to Konoha Village.

The reason he asked Minato this question was because he saw a certain future in Minato during the previous assessment.

That seemingly innate leadership and affability reminded him of his childhood companion, Hiruzen Sarutobi.

In other words, in his view, Minato has the potential to become Hokage.

So the moment he saw the water gate, he took it upon himself to change the original knowledge assessment content and instead asked this question.

After standing there pondering for nearly five minutes, Minato, who had been frowning the whole time, finally showed a slight smile.

Tired of it? Said Qi turned around and stood up to account for ⑨⑷ ⑧ ⑶ 樲７⑧ 0澪

Seeing this, Mitokado knew he had gotten the answer, so he didn't urge him but waited quietly for him to speak.

Minato's face hardened with determination as he looked at Mitokado Homura and spoke:

"Lord Menyan, my choice is..."

The first type!

Upon hearing this, a hint of disappointment flashed in Mitokado Homura's eyes, but he still asked:
