#47 - Chapter 47: Written Test Begins Naruto's Cheating Methods

Before Ino could continue observing, the three Sound Ninja suddenly launched a sneak attack on Yakushi Kabuto.

Kabuto first jumped back to dodge Zaku Abumi's kunai, and then leaned back to evade Kin Tsuchi's punch!

His quick reactions amazed everyone.

But the next moment,

Kabuto's glasses suddenly shattered, turning into fragments that fell to the ground.

"How could this be? He clearly dodged it," Sasuke said, surprised.

"Maybe his nose was grazed?" Shikamaru guessed.

As they were talking, Kabuto suddenly felt dizzy and squatted on the ground, vomiting.

"What's going on?"

Seeing Kabuto injured, Sakura immediately rushed forward to support him.

"Are you alright, Kabuto-senpai?" Sakura asked with concern.

"I'm fine," Kabuto said, enduring the discomfort with some difficulty.

Clearly, he had suffered a considerable injury!

"Heh, so much for a veteran who's taken the exam for four years. His strength is nothing special," Kin Tsuchi sneered.

The three Sound Ninja stood together, looking at the Konoha team with smug expressions, as if showing off their strength and skills.

"Shut your mouths, you bunch of trash!"

At that moment, a cloud of smoke exploded.

Special Jonin Morino Ibiki appeared on the platform with a group of Chunin.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, I am Morino Ibiki, the proctor for the first exam of the Chunin Selection!"

Looking at the man with a face full of scars and chiseled features, the entire venue fell silent.

Morino Ibiki looked at everyone, and finally focused his gaze on the three Sound Ninja surrounding Yakushi Kabuto.

"You three from Otogakure, behave yourselves before the exam, or do you want to be eliminated early?"

The three Sound Ninja looked at Morino Ibiki, and after a moment of silence, Kin Tsuchi, the leader, apologized, "Sorry, we were just excited because it was our first exam, so we couldn't help ourselves."

Seeing that Kin Tsuchi's attitude of admitting his mistake was good, Morino Ibiki didn't pursue the matter.

He looked at the others and said, "I'll take this opportunity to tell you some rules. No unauthorized combat is allowed without the proctor's permission, and even with the proctor's permission, you cannot kill your opponent!"

"Anyone who dares to disobey me will be immediately disqualified! Do you understand?"

The crowd didn't answer, but many people breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this rule.

Their lives were no longer in danger!

"Alright, now let's begin the first exam. Submit your applications! Take this number plate and take your seats in order!"

Morino Ibiki took out a square piece of paper with the number 1 written on it and said, "I will distribute the test papers later."

Upon receiving the order, everyone lined up to submit their applications.

Naruto noticed that although they submitted their applications together as a three-person team, the number plates they received were far apart!

Clearly, this was a deliberate measure to disrupt their order!

Soon, the people in front finished lining up, and it was Naruto's turn.

"Uzumaki Naruto?"

Morino Ibiki held the application form and looked suspiciously at the photo on it, which only vaguely resembled Naruto, "Are you sure you're the real person? You need to understand the consequences if you're taking the exam for someone else!"

"......"

"I just changed to a trendy hairstyle," Naruto said speechlessly.

Morino Ibiki gave Naruto a deep look, then stamped the application and gave Naruto a number plate—36!

"Just be aware of yourself, next!"

Morino Ibiki was well aware of Naruto's identity as the Nine-Tailed Jinchuriki.

If someone so closely watched by the Konoha higher-ups were to take the exam for someone else, it would be impossible to hide it.

Therefore, Morino Ibiki didn't delve into it and chose to trust Naruto for now.

After receiving his number plate, Naruto walked to the middle and sat next to Hinata.

"Naruto-kun, what a coincidence~" Hinata said softly, her cheeks slightly red, seeing Naruto sitting next to her.

"Yeah, what a coincidence," Naruto nodded to her, then waited quietly.

He had a better impression of Hinata than of Ino and Sakura, so even though they weren't teammates, he was more friendly to her.

Besides, no one would dislike a shy girl who liked them...

After waiting for a while, the examinees were seated and the test papers were passed out one by one.

Naruto took one, glanced at it roughly, and then gave up on answering it himself.

The test paper covered too broad a range of knowledge,

From ninja knowledge to physics, chemistry, mathematics, history, and even English!

Does anyone in this world speak English?

Naruto didn't know, but with his English score of less than sixty points from blindly guessing before he transmigrated, there was no way he could do it.

So he naturally gave up on answering it himself.

Anyway, this exam allowed cheating, as long as the cheating methods weren't too clumsy.

"Next, there are some very important rules. I won't answer any more questions after this, so listen carefully!"

Morino Ibiki suddenly picked up a piece of chalk and slammed it against the blackboard, "First rule, everyone starts with 10 points! There are ten questions in the written test, each worth one point!"

"This exam uses a deduction system. One point will be deducted for each wrong answer! If you get three questions wrong, you'll only have seven points left. If you get all ten questions wrong, you'll get 0 points!"

"Rule two, whether you pass or fail is calculated based on the total score of the three members of your team! If one member of the team gets 0 points, the entire team will be eliminated!"

"Rule three, if you cheat or engage in behavior similar to cheating during the exam, you will lose two points for each instance discovered by the proctors!"

"In other words, some of you may be eliminated before the final grading results come out!"

"Anyone who uses despicable cheating methods is courting death, remember that!"

"You all want to become Chunin, and since you are ninjas, you should take the exam like excellent ninjas!"

"Finally, the tenth question will be given 45 minutes after the start of the exam. The exam time is one hour—begin!"

As Morino Ibiki finished explaining the rules, everyone buried their heads in the test papers.

Although Naruto knew that he could pass the exam even if he didn't write a single word, he still decided to get a perfect score just to be safe!

In order to provide these examinees with targets to cheat from, Morino Ibiki arranged for some Chunin who knew the answers to the test inside and out to mingle among them!

So as long as he found these Chunin and copied their answers, getting a perfect score was not a problem at all!

Naruto scanned the examinees in front of him and noticed that some of them were writing furiously.

Even geniuses like Sakura had to think for a moment before writing, so these guys were definitely suspicious!

Light Style: Virtual Imaging!

Naruto stretched out his palm, and the light in the classroom kept refracting.

Soon, a scaled-down version of the test paper gradually appeared on his palm.

If you looked closely, you would also notice that the answers on the test paper were constantly being filled in!
