Chapter 427 Correct Answer
on screen
Fang Zhu took out the technological ninja tools.
[You must win, Boruto. No matter what. When you are in trouble, the high-tech ninja tools will come to save you.]
As he said this, he placed the high-tech ninja tool in Boruto's hand.
【Don’t think so painfully. 】
Screen turn
Chunin exam site
Shikamaru on the stage looked at the group of Genin candidates below and said, "The Chunin Exams are starting now. Everyone, now is the time to show off everything you have learned."
Downward
Boruto lowered his head and made a decision in his mind.
"Just watch, you bastard dad. I'm going to make it to the end on my own!"
[Okay, now let's start the first test! Each team of three must stand on the side that you think is the correct answer. This is the question.]
Sai said, pointing to the large screen above his head.
[In the fifth volume of the Ninja Tactics story, the three codes are as follows: 'Moon, Sky, Mountain, River, Flower, Honey.']
Below, the Genin were talking quietly.
[Right or Wrong…]
【I haven’t read that story.】
Boruto looked at Sarada: [Sarada, do you know that novel? ]
Mitsuki also looked over.
[I know a little bit...but I only read up to volume 4. I didn't even know there was a volume 5.]
Mitsuki smiled and narrowed his eyes: [In this case, we should just give up. ]
[At least you have to take a good guess, Mitsuki. ]
After hearing Boruto's words, Mitsuki looked thoughtful.
Sarada asked: [Boruto, what do you think my father will choose? ]
[He should have made the wrong choice. He is not a very traditional person.] As he said this, he noticed that Sarada looked a little strange, and asked, [But... why did she become like this all of a sudden?]
While the three of them were discussing, many Genin had already reached their own choice of answer.
[I still plan to become Hokage, I don't want to make the same choice as my father. ]
Mitsuki smiled and said: [Then, let's choose the right one, right? ]
[Yes, let’s go. ]
As they spoke, Sarada and Mitsuki ran towards the correct answer, and Boruto had no choice but to follow.
On stage
【Okay, we'll decide to listen to your answer. 】
[The wrong answer is that those who dyed their hair black did not pass. ]
Someone asked below: [What does it mean to dye black? ]
Sai smiled and said: [You will understand.]
[The answer is! ]
Sai raised his hand and waved it downward.
The screen above his head began to flash rapidly.
The correct answers are displayed along with the incorrect answers.

"can't read……"
"It's too hasty to decide the selection for the Chunin Exam like this!"
"The guys in Konoha are so weird!"
"Sai's smile is very evil, I think there must be some deep meaning behind it, right?"
"It's easier to get promoted during wartime."

Neji couldn't help but feel curious.
"Boruto, what is the answer?"
Hiashi also looked at Boruto.
Not to mention the candidates, even he didn't understand it.
Boruto touched his nose, feeling a little embarrassed.
“There is no answer.”
Originally, he was thinking of relying on his own strength to make it to the end...
As a result, I was almost eliminated at the beginning.
Well...he was the only one in the team who was almost eliminated.

Regardless of whether the candidates chose the correct answer or the wrong answer, they all felt their feet suddenly go empty.
next moment
The dense crowd of candidates fell downwards.
"Pfft!"
"Pfft!"
I don’t know how many candidates fell into the ink pool below.
Xinxi controlled the sand iron and lifted his two teammates into the air.
Looking down at the inkwell.
【I see. 】
Those who fall in will be eliminated.
the other side
Boruto gritted his teeth as his figure rapidly fell downwards.
【Damn...】
[Is it over…?]

Ninja World
"I see. So this first test is about reaction?"
"Boruto, you said you would rely on yourself to make it to the end. If you use high-tech ninja tools, wouldn't that be a slap in your face?"
"You won't fail the first exam, will you?"

Just at the critical moment.
Sarada took out a rope and hooked it on Boruto's clothes.
Mitsuki stretched out his arms and grabbed the rock wall with one hand.
Boruto, who was hanging in the air, opened his eyes and looked up.
Sarada pulled him with a rope, and Mitsuki pulled Sarada.
All around, climbing up
[What do you mean... should I choose wrong? ]
[That yes-or-no question should be meaningless.]
Sarada also said to Boruto: [This test was a sleight of hand from the beginning. There is no fifth volume at all. ]
Shikadai, who used his shadow to hang two teammates on the rock wall, continued: [Those who fail will be stained black... That's what he said, so as long as you don't get stained black, you'll be safe. ]
Jingzhen complained: [This kind of embarrassing and boring exam is exactly my father's style. ]
After saying that, he sighed.

"It's okay. Sai is quite creative."
“It looks like a judgment of right and wrong, but it’s actually a test of reaction.”
"It's not just a test of reaction. If you refuse to give up while falling and try your best, even if you just hold on to the rock wall like other candidates, or like Boruto, you are helped by capable teammates, you will have a great chance of passing. It seems to be a test of reaction, but it actually has a deeper meaning. That's why I praised this kid for his creativity."
"How can a guy who is in Team 7 with Naruto be simple?"
Shikaku stroked his mustache.
My grandson looks...
Why does it seem like he is the backbone?
This is not like him and Shikamaru at all.
He could tell from some of the previous details.
When Shikadai left the table with his plate, Jingzhen said in a panic, I'd better leave too.
This is the best...
That can explain a lot of things.

[Exactly. After seeing a pool of ink and realizing your mistake, if you give up and allow yourself to be stained with black ink, you will not be qualified to be a Chunin.]
[The purpose of the first test is to test whether you will make the second choice to give up or persist when you are forced into a difficult situation.]
【The one who did not fall into the ink is correct.】
【So the first Chunin Exam is over. 】
At this point, Sai announced: [The second exam will be held in three days.]
Sarada said excitedly: [Great! ]
Mitsuki also looked very happy.
We succeeded.
Only Boruto hung his head.
He squeezed his right wrist.
not far away
A Konoha ninja looked at the scene in front of him and reported quietly into the headset: [He got through somehow.]
……
Ninja World
"Boruto was shocked? The Chunin Exam is not as easy as he thought. Both the guy playing with iron sand and Shikamaru's son are not simple characters."
"Dr. Fang, who wishes to remain anonymous, is that you? I can't think of anyone else's spy other than you."
"This Fangzhu... I guess his purpose is to promote and gain recognition for his technological ninja tools. Why does he make himself look like a bad guy full of conspiracy?"
