Naruto: Starting from Eating the Gold Fruit

Chapter 584 The Real Purpose

[Cover Story: In the Hidden Mist Village:]

Zabuza watched the live stream of Haku at the Chunin Exams in Konoha, appearing completely calm on the surface.

But in reality, Zabuza was already starting to panic.

after all……

He must have trusted his assistant very much.

However, the people sent by each village to take the exam were all in teams!

Bai himself would definitely not abstain.

But what if Bai's teammate forfeits?!

What if Bai's teammate jumps out and forfeits?!

The real purpose of this exam isn't for you to do test papers!

Hurry up and figure it out! (Bai!)

……

Inside the inner castle of Konoha Village, in the Hokage's meeting room:

The Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, suddenly raised his head and said softly, "I see, I understand now. Hokage, I suppose this exam wasn't actually about whether the answers met the passing grade?"

Youya turned his head and looked at Luosha, who was also looking at him calmly.

You Ya smiled slightly: "Since you understand, why not say it? After all..."

There are still some people here who don't understand.

As he spoke, Yuya looked at the Fourth Raikage.

The Fourth Raikage's face suddenly darkened, but he truly didn't understand.

Behind him, Mabuyi, who was quite a distance away, also rubbed his forehead.

She actually understood what the exam was testing.

As I said before, the Chunin Exams are for testing ninjas...

That means it couldn't be the nonsense they said when they handed out the curlers before the exam, like the passing score of 90.

This exam is for ninjas. Since it's for ninjas, does it matter whether a ninja can solve these difficult math problems?

Of course not!

So from the very beginning, this exam was being planned in various ways...

Luo Sha nodded after hearing You Ya's words; he naturally knew what You Ya meant.

Of course, he also knew that there were probably other people in this room, like the Fourth Raikage, who didn't know what this exam was all about.

Rasa then coughed lightly and said, "This test may look like a math test, but it is actually a test of a ninja's intelligence gathering ability."

Specifically, this manifests as how to plagiarize one's own answers.

You all probably already know this.

However, a qualified ninja certainly wouldn't be limited to just gathering intelligence.

As Luo Sha spoke, he glanced at You Ya with admiration, but You Ya remained calm and composed.

Rasa withdrew his gaze and continued, "A qualified ninja would never know what will happen when carrying out a mission."

Therefore, how to choose when faced with an unknown situation is very important.

And in each of these choices, these ninjas themselves must bear the consequences.

Undoubtedly, in many situations, you won't be given a choice with only one answer, unlike in mathematics.

Or rather, it's like those math problems on an exam paper that even we, as ninjas who have become Kage, can't understand.

When carrying out a mission, no one can know what choices you should make or what the consequences will be. The uncertainty of your choices and the potential consequences all contribute to the pressure you feel.

The Fourth Raikage seemed to understand after hearing this, and then he looked at Yua with some surprise.

If that's the case...

Then you know what, this test for Youya...

Those who pass are undoubtedly the elite...

Luo Sha continued, "Then the content of this exam is actually very clear."

The point is to put pressure on these students who are taking exams.

Under unparalleled pressure.

This pressure can force them to grow rapidly, and naturally, it can also make them into qualified ninjas.

Next, I imagine your teachers will put even more pressure on these students, and ultimately...

Those candidates who can withstand the pressure and persevere until the last second... they are qualified.

Actually, this exam wasn't about intelligence gathering at all; it was testing... the ninjas' unwavering resolve, wasn't it?

Youya smiled slightly and nodded slowly to Luo Sha.

The Fourth Raikage clenched his fist tightly, then stared intently at the screen.

There are two teams of ninja from Kumogakure up there.

None of the four teams of Konoha chose to give up. If the ninjas of Kumogakure had chosen to give up at this moment...

That would be a disgrace to the entire ninja world.

Meanwhile, the other villages also became tense.

Mei Terumi turned to look at Yua, smiled sweetly, and said softly, "This first round of exams is actually the entirety of this Chunin Exams, isn't it?"

Everyone else looked at Youya.

Yuya nodded without hesitation: "That's right. The children who are sent by the Kage and leaders of each village to participate in the Chunin Exams are among the best children in each village."

In other words, in terms of strength alone, they have all undoubtedly reached the threshold for the Chunin Exams.

However, I have never believed that strength is the foundation of everything; what I care more about is the character of the children.

As long as they can persevere through the first round, these children who remain steadfast under such pressure...

In my humble opinion, they are undoubtedly already qualified Chunin.

Mei Terumi smiled slightly and closed her eyes.

There's no need to keep watching, after all...

She could accept whatever choices these children made during the exams.

Onoki glanced at Yua, scoffed, then looked at the screen in front of him and slowly said, "If we can hold out until the end..."

"When these children from our village go back, I will definitely raise them well."

Upon hearing Onoki's words, the Fourth Raikage nodded in agreement: "That's right, that's right. Basically, as long as you can survive the first round, becoming a Chunin is definitely not a problem. With some intensive training, becoming a Jonin should be quite easy."

Luo Sha looked at You Ya curiously: "Then, what about the children who are abandoned?"

You Ya smiled slightly and said nothing.

The Fourth Raikage, being an impatient person, bluntly stated, "Since you've chosen to give up, what else is there to say? You're just a good-for-nothing who looks talented but can't actually shoulder any responsibility."

Representatives from some villages looked embarrassed.

They were all children from the village who chose to give up.

You Ya smiled slightly and shook her head: "You can't say that. Everyone has their own different responsibilities."

These children cannot withstand this pressure or bear this responsibility, but that doesn't mean they are useless.

only……

They're just not cut out to be ninjas.

The Fourth Raikage and the other five Kage all turned to look at Yua.

Looking at You Ya's smiling face, the others were speechless.

You're really ruthless.

We just called him trash. You're fucking depriving them of their chance to become ninjas...

Isn't it true that you, the Hokage, are so fierce?
