Chapter 78 First Round of Written Test

"Didn't you come to participate too, Shikamaru?"

Mianma smiled slightly and said.

To be honest, there aren't many people in Konoha who Menma doesn't dislike, and even has a slight liking for. Shikamaru is definitely one of them. Neither Shikamaru's intelligence nor his personality is off-putting. Under normal circumstances, people would be happy to be friends with someone like him. However, for Menma, who doesn't want to follow the path of Naruto in the original story, having friends in Konoha is a luxury.

It would make them appear naive and foolish.

Is he going to pull off some kind of so-called bond system?

That would be a real joke.

Such an opportunity may come someday in the future, but it will never be now. Or to be more precise, the bond he wants is one with someone who can walk alongside him.

"Sigh, it was forced upon us."

Shikamaru shrugged, clearly looking quite helpless.

"You can come and participate in the Chunin Exams, that's great, why do you look so unhappy, Shikamaru?"

Naruto, who was standing to the side, patted Shikamaru on the shoulder with a smile and said something.

This made Shikamaru's helpless expression even more pronounced.

Sasuke maintained his cool demeanor, merely nodding slightly in response even when Shikamaru and Choji greeted him.

If it were anyone else, they would have thought Sasuke was provoking them. It's only because Shikamaru and Choji are gentle and, as classmates, already knew about Sasuke's arrogant personality.

"Oh? Menma-kun, you changed your clothes? Wow! You look much more attractive than before!"

At this stage, the focus is more on the appearance of the girls.

The moment Ino saw Menma and the others.

At first, everyone's attention was focused on Sasuke, but the next second they were drawn to Menma's new outfit, and a sparkling light appeared in his bright eyes.

He said this with a tone of great surprise.

"Yeah, Menma looks much more handsome in this outfit than before."

Choji, who was eating snacks nearby, nodded and looked at Menma with a happy smile.

"Yes, thank you."

Mianma replied with a smile.

"Tch, how come you get all the good things? Sakura, your luck is unmatched."

Ino also looked at Haruno Sakura with a hint of jealousy.

"Hehe, envious, aren't you? Too bad you don't have that opportunity, Ino."

Sakura Haruno put her hands on her hips and said with a very smug look on her face.

"Ugh, damn it, your broad forehead is driving me crazy!"

"Well Boar!"

"A broad forehead!"

This is another familiar story of young girls falling in love and fighting.

Menma, Shikamaru, Naruto, Choji, and others were already commonplace.

at the same time.

The three members of Class 8 on the other side also approached at the same time.

We can tentatively say that we know about these ten people.

The conversation gradually became more animated.

This also drew dissatisfaction from some of the other genin around them. As fellow genin from Konoha, they naturally wouldn't say anything. Even if they were indeed unhappy, this was still a ninja village, and they needed to maintain appearances.

But people from other ninja villages are not so easy to deal with.

"Hey kid, this isn't your home. Quiet down, or I might just..."

A scarred man wearing a Takigakure headband stepped out with a fierce expression.

Those arrogant words that were just spoken.

Before he could finish speaking...

In the opposite seat.

Mianma then turned around and took a step forward.

"boom!"

The terrifying chakra aura emanating from his body far surpassed that of an ordinary genin.

And the faint, chilling killing intent that permeated the air.

"Oh? Then tell me, what do you want?"

Mianma's expression changed in the blink of an eye, like turning the pages of a book. One second he was all smiles and gentle demeanor, the next he had a sinister look on his face as he coldly stared at the scarred man, his aura completely locked on.

The expression on that Taki ninja's face changed, and beads of sweat immediately appeared on his forehead, his body trembling uncontrollably.

This aura.

They are far superior to me.

"Um!?"

"This guy."

"This person has killed people, and not just one."

"And this chakra aura... this guy is no ordinary genin."

"Looks like a tough nut to crack."

The other genin around them also looked at Menma with surprise.

Among the crowd at the back.

Neji, Lee, Gaara, Kabuto, and the others also looked at Menma's location with different expressions.

And in the far corner of the crowd, there was a timid-looking girl with fiery red hair just like Menma. At this moment, she also looked at Menma with a look of surprise and curiosity.

It seemed that Shikamaru, Kiba, Choji, and others were trying to get to know Menma all over again.

In less than six months, it seems that the top student in their class has undergone tremendous changes.

"Me, this..."

Completely intimidated by Menma's imposing aura, this Takigakure ninja seemed to be in a very awkward situation.

They couldn't get in.

There's no way to back down.

It was precisely at this delicate moment.

"Peng!"

The door above the classroom was suddenly pushed open.

"Splash!"

"Da da da da!"

A group of ninjas dressed in Konoha-style vests strode in, led by a man in a black overcoat with a fierce-looking face.

"quiet!"

The fierce-looking man walked straight to the podium, put his hands in his pockets, and swept his extremely cold eyes over all the genin present. His cold words made most of the genin present feel a chill.

The ninja from Taki also took this opportunity to quickly retreat to his companion's side.

Menma glanced at the Takigakure ninja, then focused all his attention on the black-clad man standing on the platform.

This person is a torture expert from Konoha Village.

"Hmph, it seems everyone is quite excited. I understand, after all, it's the Chunin Exams. However, I need to remind you all of this: no matter how excited you are, this is the examination hall, and I am your examiner for the first round of testing. My name is Morino Ibiki. During the examination, all your actions must follow my instructions and meet my requirements. If you engage in any behavior that I do not permit or act recklessly, I will immediately disqualify you from the exam. Do you understand?!"

Ibiki looked coldly at the genin below, each word he spoke accompanied by a chilling aura.

This caused even the most unruly among these genin to slightly restrain their wildness.

Looking at the completely silent scene below.

Ibihi nodded in satisfaction.

"Very good, let's begin your first assessment. Submit all your application forms and then sit in the corresponding seats according to the numbers you received. This assessment is a written test."

Ibiki Morino gestured to several Konoha Chunin standing nearby, each taking out a cardboard box, and then addressed the many Genin in the classroom in the same manner.

"Oh? A written test? Then it looks like this will be easy."

Upon hearing Ibiki's words and seeing the Chunin holding their exam papers...

A look of joy immediately appeared on Sakura's face.

Chapter 79 Ibixi's Torture-Style Pressure

Sakura's lips curled up to their highest point at that moment.

Without a doubt, for a top student like Sakura who is an ultimate theoretical genius.

There's absolutely no pressure with a mere written test. Throughout her time at the Ninja Academy, Sakura Haruno has never fallen out of the top three in her class in any theoretical exam.

Sakura was confident that no matter how difficult the exam was, as long as it was logical, she would be able to answer it.

Menma, Sasuke, Ino, Hinata, Shino, and even Shikamaru said they didn't feel much pressure. Only Choji, Naruto, and Kiba froze instantly.
