Being an otaku in the world of American comics

#325 - Orochimaru

“Bang ~”

Just then, accompanied by a cloud of dust, the proctor from Konoha finally appeared.

However, in reality, according to Liang Yue's observation, this group of people had actually arrived at the venue long ago, but they had temporarily concealed their presence with ninjutsu.

Liang Yue, who maintained his Byakugan all year round, naturally saw all of this.

Professional spies like Yakushi Kabuto, and special ninjas like Gaara who possessed the power of the Tailed Beast, probably had already noticed it as well, but none of them pointed it out.

After appearing, the proctor with a scarred face immediately stopped the fighting on the spot, and then announced the start of the exam.

“Chunqiu.”

“Hmm?”

“There's an extra paper here, you can do it too.”

“I have to do it too? Aren't I already a Chunin?”

“Anyway, we're watching, no one will make trouble in the venue, and you're just idle as a proctor.”

“……Okay.”

……

In this way, Liang Yue also received a test paper from his colleague, Scarface.

Afterwards, he sat on the proctor's seat with a speechless expression, pretending to take a pen from the small pocket on his vest, and began to work on the exam questions.

There were a total of nine questions on the test paper, according to the original plot and Liang Yue's joint observation.

This exam was indeed not simple.

Most of them were beyond the scope and syllabus, and some of the exam content had even reached the scope of Jonin.

So obviously, relying on this group of fledgling graduates present, there would definitely not be many who could pass smoothly in the normal exam mode.

It's no wonder that in the original plot, a cheating performance that could be called a 'dance of demons' was staged in the venue.

Because the purpose of the question setter was to make them cheat……

……

“This exam adopts a deduction system, with a total of ten questions. One point will be deducted for each wrong answer, and two points will be deducted for each time cheating is caught. If someone in a team has points deducted to zero, the entire group will be eliminated.”

“……In front of me, clumsy cheating behavior is self-destruction……”

“……The duration of this exam is one hour, and the final tenth question will be announced 45 minutes after the exam starts.”

……

Sure enough, under the proctor's almost straightforward reminder, there was soon a commotion in the venue.

On the surface, no one made any excessive sounds, but in private, everyone on the test table was showing their own special abilities.

Various reflecting mirrors, manipulating threads, listening to sounds to identify positions, Sand Ninja eyeballs, Sharingan, Byakugan, Shadow Imitation Technique, insect observation techniques, mental control techniques, dog language translation, etc. had already spread throughout the venue.

Even the test paper in Liang Yue's hand became the target of some people who considered themselves highly skilled.

Because, after the exam started, a certain academic genius spent less than ten minutes to complete all nine questions on the paper.

Afterwards, this guy spread the test paper on the table, leaned back on the chair, and then began to seriously observe the entire examination process of the candidates opposite him.

Midway, Naruto, who was at the bottom and a pure academic渣, almost scratched his head for the questions on the paper. Later, he even looked towards Liang Yue for help……

As time passed, the atmosphere in the arena began to become more and more heated.

The originally surging undercurrents of various methods in the examination room were almost brought to the surface.

However, the proctors did not interfere with this, and remained aloof with cold expressions.

In the process, some candidates who could not withstand the pressure of the examination room began to choose to withdraw one after another, voluntarily giving up this Chunin Exam.

Then, along with them, the entire group of three behind them was also ordered to be disqualified.

Until 45 minutes later, the original crowd of hundreds of people in the venue was now only half left.

Because by that time, the proctor of the exam may not be me.”

As soon as Scarface said this, the atmosphere in the arena suddenly froze, and an invisible pressure began to spread among the candidates.

Soon, everyone began to look at each other, at a loss.

Obviously, as a group of newcomers who had just graduated from the Ninja School, the candidates certainly did not expect in advance that they would face such harsh conditions.

Once they cannot answer the tenth question, they will forever lose the opportunity to advance as a ninja. This kind of punishment is simply too inhumane.

They had hardly heard of such consequences.

For a time, many candidates began to sweat on their faces and became a little sneaky, breathing rapidly.

Soon, under the heavy pressure of this matter concerning their future, successively, some people could not withstand the mental torture and the possible consequences, and chose to give up and withdraw.

“Hmph! Don't underestimate people! Even if I'm a Genin for the rest of my life, I won't give up! I'm going to be Hokage!”

At this moment, a firm shout suddenly rang out in the arena.

Everyone turned their heads to look, and it was actually Naruto who slapped the table and expressed his determination and dissatisfaction to the proctors.

Even though he couldn't answer a single question on this test paper, that wasn't a reason for him to back down~

Well, these two questions don't seem to contradict each other……

And this inexplicable self-confidence and perseverance is really touching.

However, as Konoha's trump card, no matter how the little blonde-haired kid makes trouble, in the end, everyone's purpose is actually to train him.

Others are at most just accompanying the prince in his studies~

Sure enough, it's exactly the same as the arrangement in the original plot.

After receiving Naruto's statement and boasting, the scarred-faced proctor quickly changed his face in front of the candidates.

The originally fierce face was also changed into a kind smile.

And said that the question just now was the test of the tenth question.

The content of the first nine questions is not to test whether you answer the questions correctly or incorrectly, but to test the ability to collect information.

The tenth question is to test everyone's ability to keep secrets. Only those who can persist to the end and are worthy of their teammates' trust can pass the test.

Then, the scarred-faced proctor immediately announced that everyone remaining in the venue had passed this exam!

“Clang~!” A crisp sound.

Just as the scarred-faced man's voice fell, the glass window next to the examination room was suddenly broken.

Amidst the scattered glass, a graceful figure suddenly flew in from the outside.

Two kunai were inserted into the ceiling, and a banner was pulled up in the examination room.

“I am the proctor of your second test, Mitarashi Anko, now~ everyone pack up and follow me to participate in the second exam!”

After a while, everyone came to the entrance of Konoha's Forest of Death under the leadership of this female ninja wearing a fishnet outfit.

Liang Yue also continued to follow beside her~

However, as a proctor, he did not have the qualifications to enter this practical test area.

Under this regulation, Liang Yue really didn't understand what the use of his proctor position was.

……

The content of the second exam is very simple, that is, to reach the tower building located in the center of the Forest of Death within five days.

At the same time, all the candidate teams are divided into two parts, and each holds two different scrolls, Heaven and Earth.

Only teams that can obtain both Heaven and Earth scrolls at the same time will meet the prerequisite conditions.

Moreover, this test encourages each group of people to fight each other, and allows for personnel damage, so before entering the examination room, you must first sign a life and death contract……

In this process, Liang Yue kept his Byakugan open, looking at the remaining group of candidates.

Soon, he found something unusual in a person wearing a bamboo hat and with a somewhat disgusting appearance.

“Is this person Orochimaru? As expected, he is not an ordinary person. Although there is not much Chakra in his body, this person is really a bit strange.”
