boom!!!

But just then, a figure slammed their hand on the table and stood up: "This is absurd!!!"

“Naruto-kun…” Hinata said in surprise.

"Yes," Naruto slammed his hand on the table, exclaiming in a startling statement, "You just said that a ninja is someone who personally kills their comrades?? But someone told me that a ninja is someone who endures what others cannot endure, and who moves forward through endurance!"

Ibihi said, "Oh~ So you're going to argue with me at a time like this? Well then, let me ask you, what would you do if you were in the situation I described?"

Naruto declared firmly, "No matter what happens, I will never abandon my comrades!!"

"What if we can't do it?"

"A ninja doesn't think about what's impossible! Overcoming difficulties and finding ways to achieve them—that's what a ninja should be thinking about!"

Ibiki shook his head coldly and said, "Naive. Your naive ideas, born of ignorance, will not only harm the entire team, but may even plunge the village into crisis. You are not worthy of being a ninja!"

Naruto retorted firmly, "Ha! If maturity means abandonment, I'd rather never grow up! If being a ninja means certain death, then I'd rather not be a ninja at all!!"

Ibi asked, "Have you finished speaking?"

"That's all! I speak my mind and keep my word. That's my ninja way! Over!" With that, Naruto sat back down, leaving everyone dumbfounded.

Ibiki Morino's lips curled into a barely perceptible smile before he announced loudly, "Disruption in the examination hall, deduct 5 points!"

He glanced at Sasuke and shouted, "Ten seconds left! Make your choice!"

Sasuke clenched his fists, but in the end... he didn't get up.

“It seems we’ve reached the required level…” Ibiki withdrew his gaze and said, “Now I announce that everyone seated here has answered the tenth question correctly!”

"What!?" Before everyone could recover from their shock,

Ibihi looked at the back wall and said, "Everyone standing here now is disqualified from taking the exam!"

The situation spiraled out of control: "What?! This isn't what we just said!! You're going back on your word!!"

Ibiki coldly replied, "So what? I said from the beginning that in this exam room, I am the rule!!"

"We refuse to accept this!!"

"Behave yourselves!!!" The Chunin proctors pinned these people to the ground.

"You damned bastards, it was you who made us act decisively!!" They were still unwilling to give up.

Ibiki, hands in his pockets, coldly said, "I'm merely rationalizing your sinful acts to lessen your guilt, so that your inner ugliness can be fully exposed."

"On the battlefield, when you truly face a choice, it's the pain of abandoning a comrade who will become a burden." At this point, Morino clenched her fist in her pocket: "I've done it more than once. Do you know what that feels like?!"

"Then what right do you have to talk about us?!"

Ibiki roared, "But this is just an exam hall! You're not facing team annihilation, not information leaks! You're just losing a chance to be promoted to Chunin!! And you're willing to abandon your comrades for this?? A bunch of fame-seeking trash, you don't deserve to be Chunin!! No, you don't deserve to be ninjas!! Don't let me ever see you again..."

Ibihi's words left those people speechless, and they could only leave dejectedly.

This middle-aged man is rather handsome...

This was the thought of many people present.

"Now collect the papers and go back to wait for the final results..." Ibixi said. Yes, this exam is not just about answering the 10th question correctly. All three rules mentioned at the beginning must be met.

All the exam papers were collected, divided into groups, and scored by Ibixi himself.

Naruto Uzumaki, (10-5), 5 points.

Neji Hyuga, 10 points.

Sakura Haruno, 10/10.

The group's total score is 25 points.

Group score: Pass.

Ibiki looked at Naruto's answer sheet, a weary smile appearing on his face. He murmured to himself, "What you just said may have been a bit naive, but I don't dislike it, because it was also a belief I once held. I hope you can never change your original intention, carry out your ninja way to the end, and forge a path different from all of us. Son of the Fourth Hokage, Uzumaki Naruto!"

Xiaolin Xixue, 10 points.

Hinata Hyuga, 10 points.

Uchiha Sasuke: (6-5), 1 point.

The group's total score is 21 points.

Group score: Pass.

Ibiki stared intently at Uchiha Sasuke's answer sheet, his gaze deep, and murmured, "Uchiha... the young man who pulled back from the brink at the last moment, I hope you see your own path clearly and take care of yourself..."

Karin Whirlpool: 10 points.

Kaguya Kimimaro: 7 points.

Hozuki Suigetsu: 1 point.

Group total score: 18 points (passing grade)

Group score: Pass.

Looking at Suigetsu's blank answer sheet, Ibiki Morino couldn't help but smile: "There's someone who can still pass after submitting a blank paper. This boy named Suigetsu is destined for great fortune..."

I have read all the answer sheets...

103 groups, 309 people!

In the end, only 24 groups, totaling 72 people, advanced to the second exam!

Chapter 251 Sharingan Kakashi Reappears! (5/5)

After receiving notification that they have qualified for the next round.

Sasuke, however, showed no joy on his face. Late at night, he walked alone on a quiet street in Konoha and stopped.

Bang! He kicked a street lamp: "What the hell am I doing?!"

His frustration is understandable!

Even Hinata, whom he looked down upon, got a perfect score, while he was at the bottom of the three!

Moreover, if it weren't for the strange girl sitting next to him who inexplicably gave him the opportunity to copy the answers, and if it weren't for that boy with inexplicable enthusiasm who took the initiative at the last moment!

I'm afraid... Sasuke will be eliminated in a very ugly way! He'll become a laughing stock!

"I absolutely disagree with those nonsensical exams! The second and the third exams that follow! I will show you that strength is the only true passport!!"

Crack! Lightning covered Sasuke's left hand as he struck at the streetlight!

Snap! The streetlight broke and fell to the side at the crossroads. The light went out, and Sasuke, with his hands in his pockets, disappeared into the dim street with a proud and aloof demeanor.

Not long after he left...

"Ouch!!" A drunk man passing by tripped over a street lamp and was seriously injured. Fortunately, he was discovered and taken to Konoha Hospital in time, so he was out of danger.

The secret service investigated the matter afterwards.

"There are traces of lightning-style cutting, like Chidori!"

"Kakashi?! How could that senior possibly do such a thing!"

"Just to be on the safe side, let's call Kakashi over and ask him!"

Kakashi arrived at the Anbu headquarters and looked at the severed telephone pole: "It was indeed Chidori, but I haven't used this technique in a long time..."

The secret agent asked, "So, do you have any leads?"

Kakashi thought for a moment, his gaze becoming somewhat complicated, and finally said, "Sorry, I have no clue... But since I created this ninjutsu, I'll take care of the repair costs for this telephone pole and the medical expenses for the injured."

"Uh, I feel really bad for you, senior, but let's do it this way..."

After paying the relevant compensation, Kakashi left the Anbu and walked down a dimly lit alley.

A figure stood leaning against the wall, almost blending into the night. As Kakashi passed by, the figure greeted him, "Yo, Kakashi, long time no see..."

Kakashi was startled: "Uchiha Yu, what are you doing here?"

Lin Yu walked to the middle of the road: "I want to thank you for cleaning up this mess for the village's genin."

Besides Kakashi, Lin Yu is the only one who can use Chidori.

Therefore, when Kakashi realized it was Chidori, he immediately suspected it was someone connected to Lin Yu. Among the genin of Ankaku Village, the only one who had the means to use Chidori was undoubtedly Uchiha Sasuke!

Kakashi said, "It's nothing, after all, I owe you a favor..."

"That's not something you owe me. I let you go last time because of your teacher... Speaking of which, you look better in this outfit, Kakashi." Lin Yu's gaze was full of amusement. "Also, your left eye has been idle for a long time, hasn't it? Does it still hurt a little?"

Kakashi covered his left eye, which was covered by a black cloth: "Did you come here specifically to mock my failure?"

"I'm not that bored. I'm really here to return the favor."

Before he finished speaking, Lin Yu had already closed in!

Crack! A flash of lightning, and Kakashi was already far away!

"Lightning Release: Body Flicker Technique, Kakashi, you've improved again..." Lin Yu's voice rang out above him as he thrust forward, his right hand covered in Chidori!

Boom!!! Kakashi dodged again: "Making such a commotion in Konoha, aren't you afraid of being discovered?!"

"It's alright, I've already set up a barrier~" Lin Yu said with a smile as he rushed towards Kakashi.

"Alright, then I'll play along!" Kakashi formed hand seals and placed his palms on the ground!

Purple Lightning - Wall of Light!

Crackling sounds filled the air as a wall of purple lightning formed before them, sweeping forward!

From one end of the alley to the other... it only takes a blink of an eye!

Crackling! Crackling! Lin Yu had activated his Penetration ability, but looking at the purple arcs of electricity constantly rising from his body and the slight numbness he felt, he exclaimed in amazement, "Did you combine the principles of the White Fang Soul-Slaying Blade Technique with purple lightning? This wall of purple lightning actually works on me under Penetration! Amazing! Kakashi, I wasn't lying to you, you've really improved this time!"

Kakashi said in a deep voice, "Of course! Do you know how many years I spent training to break through your penetration technique?! You were hit by the Purple Lightning Wall just now, so you won't be able to be penetrated by the next attack!!"

Boom!! Shadow Clone Technique!

Kakashi and his shadow clone faced each other palm to palm... Crack! As their palms separated, purple lightning stretched out between them, forming a band of lightning!

Purple Lightning - Thunderclap!

The main body and the shadow clone, trailing long bolts of lightning, slashed towards Lin Yu in the middle of the road!
