Naruto: Starting from Eating the Gold Fruit

Chapter 586 Five minutes remaining

"Nine minutes left."

Itachi Uchiha spoke calmly.

Throughout the examination hall, all the examinees except Naruto had fine beads of sweat on their faces.

Hinata was already covered in sweat.

She was never a very confident person to begin with.

Although I roll my eyes, I can see that the contents of the six exam papers are correct, but I can't tell which one is right!

Hinata was in a complete panic at this moment.

Is my answer correct or not?

Will I be able to pass?

in the end……

Will I be a burden to Naruto and Sasuke?

Hinata, thinking of this, slightly raised her head and looked at Naruto.

Then Hinata saw Naruto, who looked calm and collected, with his hands behind his head, staring blankly at the clock in the exam room.

It has to be said that, judging from Naruto's appearance, anyone who didn't know better would think that he was absolutely certain that his answer was correct.

Hinata then glanced at Naruto's face with her Byakugan...

What is that?!

Why are the answers to every question different from the two answers I saw?!

Naruto-kun, how can you be so calm?!

Your answer doesn't fall into either of the two categories, so isn't it absolutely wrong?!

Why can you remain so calm as you watch time slip away?!

What to do...

Should I remind Naruto?

How should I remind Naruto?

If I were to hand in my paper like this...

Does that mean Naruto is directly stripped of his qualification to become a ninja?!

And Sasuke and I will also be implicated as a result...

"I...I give up..."

Finally, the first candidate who couldn't withstand the pressure appeared.

He kept his head down, not daring to look at his companion.

His companion, however, let out a heavy sigh of relief.

In fact, he was under a lot of pressure.

Honestly, it's already a good ending since it was his teammate who forfeited and he was implicated.

At least after I get out, I can say things like, "Actually, I didn't want to give up. It's all your fault."

Once you have the first one, the second one will naturally follow very quickly.

Soon, three groups of people left the examination room.

The pressure on the candidates in the entire examination room was now even greater.

Itachi Uchiha's voice, which sounded like a demon from hell, appeared again: "Seven minutes left."

I need to remind you all again here.

If you do not abstain, then after the exam, if you or any of your companions do not achieve the passing score of 90 points.

Then everyone in your group will be stripped of the right to become a ninja.

This is a proposal that was agreed upon by the Hokage and the other village Kage or leaders.

Think it through carefully.

Should we continue?

Ultimately, was my answer correct?

As soon as Itachi Uchiha finished speaking, the examination room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Right now, the most relaxed people in the entire examination room are probably those six students who were assigned here.

After all, they're just shills; the exam results are none of their business.

Therefore, they remained very calm.

Hmm... Naruto was quite calm...

Inside Examination Room No. 2:

Hyuga Neji was now also getting nervous.

He wrote down both answers for the six questions on his draft paper.

But here's the problem: under extreme pressure, humans can unleash their potential, become stronger, and do things they wouldn't normally be able to do.

But mathematics is different.

If you don't know math, you just don't know it.

No matter how amazing you are, if you can't do it, you just can't!

Hyuga Neji's forehead, which was wrapped in cotton cloth, was now covered in sweat.

At this point, he also understood why 90 points was the passing grade.

The two answers are one correct and one wrong.

If we copy half of each score, the final score should be half of 150, which is 75 points.

But the passing score is 90 points...

Hyuga Neji's face was extremely ugly. What should he do?

Which answer is correct?!

What should I do?!

Hyuga Neji couldn't help but look up at his companions.

Tian Tian looked conflicted at that moment, while Xiao Li...

hold head high……

Xiao Li has completely turned gray. This guy doesn't know any ninjutsu at all, so he can't do anything like cheating or copying answers!

Everyone else is debating which of the two answers is correct.

Only Xiao Li was still figuring out how to copy other people's homework...

And now, there are only six minutes left...

What should I do?

What else can we do?

Xiao Li has already given up.

There's simply no way to cheat!

Xiao Li was slumped over the table, trembling uncontrollably.

It's obvious that he regrets it now.

He should have raised his hand and given up half an hour before the end.

At that time, it wouldn't implicate his companions.

but now……

If he gives up...

Neji and Tenten will also be implicated and abandoned...

What should we do?

too difficult……

This question is too difficult!

Among the trio of Kiba Inuzuka, Shino Aburame, and Sakura Haruno, Sakura Haruno faces the least pressure.

She wasn't planning on taking the exam in the first place.

Her father thought it was a good opportunity for her to show off, so he sent her over.

Therefore, Sakura Haruno doesn't care at all whether the answer is correct or not.

It doesn't matter if one of your classmates fails and it affects you too.

I can just go back to being a doctor when the time comes.

Regardless of whether she can become a Chunin or not, she will eventually have to go back to being a doctor.

Therefore, Sakura Haruno didn't feel any psychological pressure at all.

On the other hand, the Ino-Shika-Cho trio, Choji Akimichi, had sweat pouring down his face like rain.

With each tick of the clock in the exam room, Choji Akimichi felt as if someone was hammering his heart.

Yamanaka Ino was completely panicked.

She couldn't help but raise her head, looking at her father with pleading eyes.

But the reply was...

"Five minutes left. If you don't give up, then when the exam ends... if any of you or your companions fail, you will be disqualified from becoming a ninja."

In her heart, Yamanaka Ino had cursed her father a thousand times.

How could anyone do this to their own daughter?!

However, Yamanaka Ino didn't consider that if Yamanaka Inoichi was targeting her, then when she used Heart Turn on those people, Yamanaka Inoichi could have intervened to stop her.

However, instead of stopping her from cheating, Yamanaka Inoichi stopped her from seeking help from Shikamaru.

In fact, this behavior itself says a lot.

However, given Yamanaka Ino's intelligence, it's impossible for her to understand this.

Or rather, no matter how high your IQ is, you can't be perfect in every aspect.

Take Nara Shikamaru for example.

Shikamaru, of course, sensed that something was wrong.

Logically speaking, this is the Chunin Exams, which test the abilities of ninjas, and there shouldn't be a phenomenon of judging based on scores.

but……

What if?!

What if that's really the case?!
