#72 - Confidence is the peak
Seiji turned and continued walking towards the right end of the corridor.
"Wait for me, Seiji."
Yuhi Kurenai stepped forward.
Sarutobi Asuma scratched his head, wondering if Seiji was really that smart.
Why couldn't he have figured it out at a glance?
Uchiha Tekka and the two Uchiha clansmen beside him exchanged glances.
The Uchiha clan has produced an incredible genius.
……
"Yo, your hand still hurts?"
After testing the strength of the Inuzuka clan's ninja, the two allowed their team to leave.
"That kid is not simple."
The ninja who had taken Seiji's Lightning Finger raised the back of his hand, and there were two clear dents in the metal plate behind his glove.
The metal plate was made of sturdy metal, enough to withstand large remote ninja tools like the Fuma Shuriken.
But now there were obvious marks.
Even though it was partly due to his carelessness, Seiji was the only one among the ninjas he had tested and released who had achieved this!
…………
Step, push the door.
Seiji walked into the bustling examination room.
There were already many people inside.
With the sound of the door opening, some curious ninjas turned their attention over.
"It's yesterday's handsome guy."
Terumi Mei stood in front, turning her head to see Seiji's face clearly.
"So what if he's here? He's no match for us."
Hozuki Mangetsu glanced at Seiji.
Uchiha, huh?
The Hozuki clan's reputation in the Land of Water is no less than that of the Uchiha.
The clan has produced geniuses like the Second Mizukage, Hozuki Gengetsu, and possesses the secret ninjutsu "Water Transformation Technique" passed down through generations.
It allows the body to become liquid, immune to physical attacks!
"A clan that controls flames, tsk."
Hozuki Mangetsu didn't think much of the Uchiha.
Their clan's biggest enemies are only the Cloud Village ninjas who are highly proficient in Lightning Release!
They are the ones he needs to be wary of next.
"Uchiha clan."
Pakura looked over, sizing up Seiji.
What she found strange was that after their eyes met for a moment, Seiji kept staring at her.
Pakura turned away unnaturally, that perverted brat must be looking at her back!
She was wearing a sleeveless, backless ninja outfit because the climate in the Land of Wind was extremely hot and dry, like a desert.
"You're being targeted by the Uchiha?"
Maki found it strange.
Could it be that Pakura had some feud with the Uchiha behind them?
"No, I came to Konoha for the first time, and I've never met him before."
Pakura shook her head.
"Then that means…"
Maki thought of a possibility.
His head was wrapped in white cloth, his left face was covered with a white cloth, and his right face was painted with two red lines, his body was also wrapped tightly.
In the Land of Wind, in addition to the high temperature, there is also a sky full of yellow sand, which needs to be separated by cloth strips.
Only Pakura, who possesses "Scorch" Release, is different, she can ignore these harsh conditions.
Instead, pursue greater flexibility.
"What is it?"
Pakura glared at Maki.
Maki closed his mouth and didn't say anything else.
"There's so much vitality among the ninjas these days."
A somewhat hoarse voice came out.
Orochimaru walked to the blackboard in the examination room, followed by two assistant proctors.
"Quiet, prepare to start the first exam of the Chunin Selection Exams, hand in your application forms in order."
"Take your number plates and sit in the corresponding seats, the written test papers will be distributed later."
The two assistant proctors immediately began to maintain order in the examination room.
Before long, everyone sat in their corresponding seats.
Seiji sat in the middle, and Yuhi Kurenai sat next to Pakura.
Sarutobi Asuma's seat was to the left of Tekka.
The seats in the exam cannot be arranged according to team members, a random shuffling method is adopted.
"Let me introduce myself, my name is Orochimaru."
After Orochimaru said this, he didn't say anything else.
The two assistant proctors looked at each other and began to explain the rules of the examination room.
Writing the key points of the Chunin Exam on the blackboard.
Full marks are 10 points.
Example 1: Get full marks of 10 points for answering all questions correctly.
Example 2: Get seven points for answering three questions incorrectly.
"For this exam, three people are a group, and the judgment is based on the total score of the three people."
"In addition, if any improper behavior is discovered, such as cheating or being suspected of cheating, two points will be deducted, and zero points will result in elimination."
The entire examination room was in an uproar.
Each person has a total of only ten points, which means that once discovered five times, they will be directly eliminated.
And how many questions you can answer correctly and how many points you get is unknown!
"Heh heh, those clumsy cheating behaviors are tantamount to digging their own graves, you should have heard of my name, I can't tolerate any sand in my eyes."
Sure enough, after hearing Orochimaru say this.
Some candidates who originally wanted to cheat to get by turned pale.
This person is one of the Sannin who made outstanding achievements in the Second Shinobi World War!
No one has the confidence to show off in front of Orochimaru.
"This is the end."
Sarutobi Asuma glanced at the questions and found that he basically couldn't do them.
Especially the inexplicable tenth question, which actually said that the proctor would give the question 45 minutes after the start of the exam.
"The difficulty is beyond the standard."
Sarutobi Asuma found that a lot of knowledge inside had not been taught, and was particularly tricky.
Unless it is someone who is well-read and has solid theoretical experience can do it.
After thinking about it, Sarutobi Asuma secretly looked at Yuhi Kurenai.
Although he could only see Kurenai's back, he could see that her pen was not moving.
"Kurenai can't do it either!"
Without looking at Seiji, Sarutobi Asuma had already imagined the ending of their team.
Regardless of whether Seiji can do it or not, if two members can't do it, the score will not be enough!
"These are Konoha's exam questions."
Pakura frowned slightly.
Good fellow, the difficulty is not low.
She doesn't even know many of the questions.
"Konoha… Kirigakure… Takigakure…"
Pakura glanced around, and noticed that even the Konoha examinees were showing difficulty.
So… is this exam really testing the examinees' knowledge content?
Pakura felt something was wrong.
But seeing Orochimaru's constantly scanning gaze, she suppressed this thought.
Even if she wanted to cheat, Orochimaru, one of the Sannin, is here.
Orochimaru's golden vertical pupils amusingly scanned the examinees, taking in all their expressions.
Anyone who was scanned by him quickly lowered their eyes to avoid eye contact.
Until… Uchiha Seiji.
Orochimaru found that Uchiha Seiji was staring at him neither humble nor arrogant.
Is this confidence?
Orochimaru found it interesting.
The other two proctors recognized him as a member of the Uchiha clan through the flame fan on Seiji's clothes.
The arrogance of the Uchiha clan?
The two thought to themselves.
"Alright, start the exam."
Orochimaru said.
It took a while before the sound of pen tips sliding across paper could be heard in the examination room.
