The onlookers, including Yuhi Shinku, were stunned, their expressions blank. They exchanged glances and whispered, "Lord Kazami probably didn't expect things to turn out like this, did he?"

"Who knows."

Even someone with Orochimaru's personality couldn't help but laugh.

really……

Kazami Hatake originally wanted to draw hatred from Akabane, so that Akabane wouldn't be able to slack off and pass the Chunin Exams.

Unexpectedly, people weren't interested in this approach, and many were fans of Akabane's manga. As a result, some people actually brought business to our door.

"Who would have guessed that? I was all ready to fight."

Zi Xiao put away the bitter knife and sighed with some melancholy.

They're all human, yet the differences are enormous.

After a long while, Akabane dealt with the situation and sent away those who wanted to establish diplomatic relations and cooperation.

What are they all trying to do?

Tsunade was both curious and annoyed.

She actually wanted to go up and help, but when she thought about the scene, she chickened out with a headache.

"They want to monopolize the business."

Akabane rubbed his ears; they were ringing because of the crowd around him.

"comics?"

Tsunade was stunned for a moment, then shouted angrily, "They're dreaming!"

"..."

Shuo Mao and the others looked in the direction of the sound, their expressions quite strange.

Akabane isn't worried at all, but Tsunade is so agitated. What's going on?

"Let my people worry about business matters; let's leave them alone."

Akabane shook his head and said.

Regardless of whether it's a loss or not, as long as the comic is shared, you can earn points, so why not?

of course……

There's always bargaining involved in doing business, but those things are none of his business.

He had just given the same reply to the others, telling them to have their families come to Konoha so they could sit down and have a proper talk.

Just then, a metallic clanging sound rang out in the distance.

"The first exam is about to begin. Everyone, please enter the exam room according to your assigned number."

The two Chunin at the door stepped aside to let everyone enter the examination room.

The examination hall in Sunagakure Village is different from the examination hall in Konoha Village in the previous anime. Their internal structure is very simple, obviously a temporary construction, and there is no fancy decoration.

Akabane looked around, then went to the door to find his number.

"First row, number 3?

He paused for a moment, then glanced around.

He then noticed that everyone was sitting far apart, and Orochimaru and Sakumo were in the most conspicuous positions, so that anyone who wanted to cheat would be caught at a glance.

The Hidden Sand Village is up to no good!

Akabane muttered to himself for a moment, then couldn't help but sneer inwardly.

This method might work against a slacker like him, but it would definitely be useless against Orochimaru.

When the illusion opens, won't everyone just copy the answer together?

Seats and such are irrelevant!

He sat down comfortably in the first row, looking confident.

Not long after, a figure walked in from outside the door. It was a middle-aged man who looked rather old, but his eyes were bright and he didn't look like someone to be trifled with.

Jonin of Sunagakure!

Although he didn't look like the old man, Akabane guessed that he was most likely Ebizo.

Chapter 125 Undisguised Cheating

"My name is Ebizo, and I am the proctor for the first exam of the Chunin Selection Exams."

The middle-aged man sat down, slowly and deliberately.

After waiting a few seconds and observing for a while, a smile appeared on his face, and he said calmly, "Now I will announce the exam rules. The first exam will be a written test, with a total of 10 questions..."

Individuals scoring below 5 points will be disqualified, as will those caught cheating.

Teams with a total score below 18 points will not be able to advance to the next round.

Simple and rude!

Akabane pondered for a moment. Under these rules, it was probably not a psychological battle like Ibiki's, but a real test.

However, if you don't get caught, cheating is allowed under certain conditions.

"Now hand out the papers."

After Ebizo finished speaking, he nodded to the Chunin and signaled them to distribute the scrolls.

Before long, everyone in the examination room received an exam paper.

After receiving it, Akabane glanced at it briefly.

The above question—

"During the war, you received the following note. Please decipher the hidden information within the intelligence and filter out the useful information."

"I have no way to throw it in the form shown in the picture..."

Although it was a written test, the questions were basically designed by practical experts.

After all, the war had just ended...

Akabane sighed inwardly. This kind of question, which combines theory with practice, is actually much more difficult than a theoretical test that simply requires calculation and memorization.

However, after glancing at it, Orochimaru, who was two seats away, picked up a pen and immediately began to write.

With that, Akabane felt relieved and didn't even bother with intelligence gathering or observing which of the surrounding people were Chunin.

With top students around, what's there to be afraid of?

He lay down, preparing to take a short rest.

Ebizo looked down from above with an air of composure, his eyes seemingly unfocused and not paying attention to what was below, but...

Not long after, his voice came from above: "Seat number 4 in the third row, cheating."

"what?"

Number 4 in the third row was a ninja from Takigakure. He looked up at the sky, somewhat bewildered and incredulous.

Even if I turn a blind eye, I can still see you turning your head to look around.

Ebizo sighed, "Let's get out of here."

With one player eliminated, the remaining two teammates instantly felt despair.

Although this wasn't the team's fault, losing a partner means both of them need to score above 18 points to advance.

On average, each person scored over 9 points!

This is terrible...

Not only them, but the other candidates in the examination room also felt a sense of unease.

This guy didn't seem to pay any attention to the exam room, but his eyesight is so good, he's practically giving us no chance.

With one person eliminated, the rest immediately became more disciplined.

However, many of these questions are only solvable by Chunin, and most people simply cannot answer them and can only observe their surroundings to cheat.

But here is the problem.

How wide should the observation range be to avoid being detected?

This test examines not only intelligence gathering skills, but also the ninja's ability to gather intelligence covertly.

A ninja who doesn't know how to conceal himself will also face certain death on the battlefield.

With his keen eyes watching all directions and in coordination with the Chunin below, Ebizo caught more than a dozen cheating examinees.

However, he kept an eye on Akabane in the first row.

He arranged the positions, and Ebizo knew all too well who had what abilities.

This kid named Akabane may not seem very capable, but he is actually a bloodline limit awakener of the Kurama clan, and his abilities should not be underestimated.

With half the time already gone, Ebizo felt a little strange.

Still haven't you started writing?

Just as he was wondering, he noticed that Akabane had tucked his hands under the table.

Has it started yet?

Ebizo focused intently on Akabane.

However, Akabane didn't even open his eyes, seemingly just retracting his hand.

"Something's not right, these guys from Konoha..."

Ebizo was somewhat surprised, and then he was astonished to find that many people in Konoha, like Akabane, were fast asleep on the table.

Including Orochimaru!

coincidence?

Too many coincidences are no longer coincidences.

Ebizo has been in charge of intelligence work for many years, so he has this kind of experience.

He glanced at Akabane, his mind replaying the moment when the other person pulled his hand down, and the others lay down to sleep. It seemed that was the moment it all started.

Illusion!

Undisguised cheating...

He sighed inwardly.

However, if such a large-scale group illusion is to be used for cheating, the skill required for illusion magic is even higher.

This kid is even more terrifying than the intelligence reports suggest; he's a very dangerous enemy.

Thinking of this, Ebizo took a deep breath.

To prevent Akabane from advancing to the third round, Sunagakure would have to commit a large number of people, but if a large number of people were replaced, it would be a waste for Sunagakure itself.

What's more, this kid's teammates aren't weak either...

Upon receiving the intelligence, Ebizo immediately began to devise a plan for the third round of battle.

Of course, he did not forget to continue observing and gathering intelligence.

This exam forced out the abilities of many people, and this information will give their ninja village an advantage in the upcoming battles.

Not long after, the people of Konoha woke up.

Ebizo watched silently, and as he expected, the first thing everyone did upon waking up was to pick up a pen and answer questions.

They were incredibly lazy in the first half of their career, and now they're working just as hard.

He can't see others' work, but it's not difficult for him to see Akabane's papers...

however.

The kid did a few questions, then put his pen down.

Ebizo glanced at it; there were exactly five questions.
