Ninja World: I, Kisame Hoshigaki, am no longer human!

Asma arrived late.

"Asuma, you didn't do anything to them, did you? Your current role is that of an examiner, representing Konoha. You can't just do whatever you want anymore; you have to consider the consequences."

Kurenai grabbed Asuma's arm and asked quietly.

She knew Asuma's personality and style best and was worried that he would bully others as a delinquent, just like usual.

"Don't worry, Kurenai. Didn't you just see Kisame Hoshigaki go in? Didn't he look like something was wrong?"

Asma smiled and patted Hong on the shoulder, gesturing for her to hurry up and enter the examination room.

As Kurenai Yuhi took her seat.

All of the more than one hundred candidates had arrived, and the examiners had also mostly arrived, standing in a row at the front of the classroom.

The examiner in charge of the first written test was Yamanaka Inoichi, a 22-year-old Jonin who was proficient in mind control and the ability to read other people's thoughts. He was a powerful intelligence ninja.

After announcing the exam rules to the candidates, he glanced to his left and right, then suddenly frowned.

"Where's Kakashi? Why hasn't he arrived yet?"

Yamanaka Inoichi asked his subordinates.

In this first exam, besides him as the chief examiner, there were eight Chunin proctors. Their task was to patrol the exam area, catch those who were blatant cheaters, and eliminate them.

"I gonna go see."

Asuma, who was near the door, raised his hand and stepped outside. Just then, he saw Kakashi appear at the end of the corridor, slowly walking towards him.

Yes, Kakashi walks very slowly.

After entering the examination room, he crossed his arms, leaned against the wall, and looked cool.

Wow, so handsome.

It was filled with jealousy and fighting spirit.

In short, when Kakashi appeared, almost everyone in the exam room, regardless of gender, was staring at him.

Kakashi's gaze swept over the group of examinees, then paused for a moment, giving Kisame a deep look before looking away.

At that moment, Asuma came to Kakashi's side.

"Kakashi, I heard you were defeated by that Kisame Hoshigaki. I had the same experience as you. That guy must have used despicable means to ambush you too."

Asuma whispered, patting Kakashi on the shoulder and gritting his teeth, "Don't worry, if you're having trouble moving around, just stay here. I'll keep an eye on him and make sure he doesn't pass the first exam."

Before Kakashi could respond, Asuma walked up behind Kisame with a cold smile and stood guard against him alone.

The exam has begun.

44. Even bad people have their bottom line.

Swish swish.

The examination room quickly quieted down, with only the sound of candidates writing furiously on their exam papers remaining.

The questions in this Chunin Exam were extremely difficult; apart from top students, very few people could pass.

Therefore, some Konoha Chunin who knew the answers in advance disguised themselves as examinees and were evenly distributed throughout the examination hall. Whoever could find a way to copy their answers would pass smoothly.

"Don't look around!"

Asuma stood next to Kisame, sternly shouted at the latter, and slammed his hand on the table with a "bang".

At that moment, many examinees cast gloating glances at Kisame.

With a proctor watching him the entire time, if Kisame Hoshigaki can't cheat, he'll most likely be eliminated in the first exam and be forced out of the competition early.

"What are you looking at!"

Asuma reprimanded the group of examinees, then briefly surveyed the surroundings before returning to Kisame's side.

Next, he kept causing trouble for Kisame, even pointing and commenting on the latter's exam paper.

Kisame was surprisingly patient. He was very compliant and kept nodding in the face of Asuma's constant criticism.

Anyone who didn't know better would think Asuma was giving him pointers on how to answer the questions.

Fifteen minutes passed like this.

Swish!

Kisame suddenly put down his pen, stood up from his seat, and stared into Asuma's eyes, the air thick with tension.

He seemed to have reached his breaking point.

These two, won't they start fighting?

The surrounding examinees watched this scene with anticipation, and even several invigilators came over to prevent further conflict between the two.

but.

Kisame finally swallowed his anger, picked up the exam paper, walked through the classroom, went to the podium, and handed it to the examiner, Yamanaka Inoichi.

Is this... a case of giving up entirely?

Almost everyone believed that Kisame's act of handing in his paper early was a form of self-abandonment.

However, the result was unexpected.

Yamanaka Inoichi took Kisame's exam paper, and after carefully examining it, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

He glanced at Kisame and announced:

"Congratulations, you passed with a perfect score. You can now go to the classroom next door to rest and wait for the next exam to begin."

This statement shocked many people.

It's important to know that Kisame received Asuma's close "care" and strict protection, a unique privilege among all the examinees. Under such circumstances, he was still able to submit his paper early and get a perfect score.

It seems that he truly possesses genuine talent and is proficient in both literary and martial arts.

"Thank you."

Kisame said something very politely, then walked towards the door, passed by Kakashi, and left like a gust of wind.

He had just left.

"Oh!"

Asma, who was in the examination room, suddenly turned into a cloud of white smoke and disappeared in the astonished eyes of the invigilators and examinees.

what happened?

For a moment, everyone was dumbfounded.

Yamanaka Inoichi frowned.

He had heard that Sarutobi Asuma was a delinquent. Sending a shadow clone to proctor the exam while the real Sarutobi skipped the exam was indeed something a delinquent would do.

However, since the other party was the son of the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, the examiner couldn't say much.

After all, even the Yamanaka clan behind him was a direct descendant of the Sarutobi clan and under their leadership. The clan head of the Yamanaka clan was directly under the command of Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Therefore, we can only turn a blind eye to Asma's absence and pretend we didn't see it.

Of everyone present, only Kakashi was shaken.

As he watched Kisame walk out of the examination hall, a possibility suddenly occurred to him.

Kakashi consulted with Yamanaka Inoichi before slowly walking out of the examination room.

He soon noticed that the restroom at the end of the corridor was broken and water was leaking out. Repairmen and cleaning staff had arrived and put up a "Temporarily Closed" sign at the entrance.

Kakashi went to the restroom, explained the situation to the staff, and went inside.

A few minutes later.

Click.

Kakashi, kunai in hand, pried open the lock on the innermost cubicle. As the door slowly opened, he saw Asuma sitting unconscious on the toilet.

It was Kisame Hoshigaki who did it.

Upon seeing Asuma's miserable state, Kakashi immediately identified him as the suspect and deduced Kisame's method of submitting his exam early and still getting a perfect score.

Thinking back to what "Asuma" had said to him in the exam hall, Kakashi felt humiliated and his chest tightened.

He was tricked by Kisame again.

At this moment, Kakashi's double Sima Yi face doubled again, becoming a quadruple Sima Yi face.

It took him a while to catch his breath. Pointing to the unconscious Asma, he instructed the staff:

"Take him to the infirmary, and try not to let too many people see him on the way."

……

The exam continued inside the examination room.

Some people passed the exam smoothly, some were eliminated because they were caught cheating, and the rest racked their brains and were still struggling to find the correct answer.

The lounge was already filled with twenty or thirty people, all of whom were candidates who had successfully entered the second exam.

Kurenai entered the lounge, spotted Kisame, and headed straight for him.

"Kisame Hoshigaki, what exactly did you do to Asuma?"

She looked extremely angry, her large red eyes fixed on Kisame, as if she were about to unleash an illusion on him at any moment.

Kurenai Yuhi was born into a family of genjutsu practitioners in Konoha Village. During its heyday, her family was as glorious as the Uchiha clan.

Under the nurturing and influence of her family, Kurenai Yuhi was outstanding from a young age, graduating from the Ninja Academy with a top-three ranking.

It's common knowledge that beautiful female academic achievers often have a crush on delinquents and hooligans. Kurenai Yuhi and Asuma are such a childhood sweetheart couple.

When she heard from Kakashi that her lover was injured, she angrily went to confront Kisame.

“Kurenai Yuhi, I know you and Asuma are lovers. However, I overheard you two, one an examinee and the other an invigilator, discussing cheating at the stairwell.”

Kisame was prepared. As he spoke, he calmly pulled a voice recorder out of his pocket.

"How about it? Since there are so many people here, should I tell everyone about how you got in through connections?"
