According to his rules, everyone must get more than 5 points to pass, and those who get less than 5 points will be disqualified.

That is to say...

This kid is absolutely certain he's right!

Ebizo's expression was not good. He glanced around and finally fixed his gaze on Orochimaru.

Of the nine people, only Orochimaru remained unmoved.

The answer comes from him!

So it's not surprising that Ebizo has this ability. The Third Hokage had a nickname, "Professor Ninja." As the Third Hokage's disciple and a renowned genius in Konoha, it's not unexpected that he would have such abilities.

Ultimately, it was the young man from the Kurama clan who was truly formidable.

Seeing Akabane lie down to sleep again, Ebizo felt angry, but there was nothing he could do.

After all, judging from the accuracy rate of Orochimaru's test papers, these people could probably get high scores or even full marks.

Even though Akabane only scored 5 points, his two teammates scored at least 8 points or more.

With a total score of over twenty points, he has basically secured his qualification for the next round.

"This group of people from Konoha is truly remarkable."

Ebizo sighed inwardly, feeling a mix of gratitude and relief.

Fortunately, the Second Kazekage of Sunagakure is still alive, and with his research and improvement of puppetry and magnetism techniques, the future of Sunagakure is also bright.

After a while, a metallic clanging sound came from outside.

Ebizo stood up and shouted, "Alright, the exam is over!"

"Hmm...it's over?"

Akabane raised his head, his eyes still heavy with sleep.

"Collect the papers."

Ebizo ignored him and waved his hand to signal the other Chunin to put away their scrolls.

In the latter half of the exam, clumsy cheating techniques became rare, so fewer and fewer people were eliminated by cheating.

However, the elimination of those who cheated will prevent the members of their team from advancing.

According to Ebizo's rough calculations, at least half of the participants will not be able to advance to the second round.

If you factor in the scores, even more people will be unable to advance.

That number is about right.

Chapter 126 The Flower of Sunagakure

"The first game was quite easy."

Jiraiya stood up, looking relaxed and at ease.

Simple?

If it weren't for the prohibition against private fights, that one sentence alone would have been enough for them to tear Jiraiya to shreds.

"Jiraiya, stop embarrassing yourself and go outside to assemble."

Tsunade glared at him.

"Okay, here you go!"

Jiraiya swaggered around smugly and ran outside.

Akabane glanced back and saw that most people had already left before he slowly got up and followed the crowd out.

Outside, Shuo Mao and Zi Xiao were already waiting at the door.

As soon as they saw him come out, the two of them grabbed one arm each and dragged him out from the back of the crowd.

"What are you doing?"

Akabane was completely bewildered and had no idea what they were trying to do.

"You only answered five questions?"

"Yeah, writing a second draft doesn't give you extra points."

Akabane answered naturally.

The Chunin Exams are conducted in stages, but the scores from the previous round do not carry over to the second round.

If you're confident you've answered all the questions correctly, answering even one more would be a waste.

"Forget it, let's wait for the results."

Hearing such a straightforward answer, Sakumo was momentarily speechless.

There's no point in saying anything more now that things have come to this.

The three gathered and headed to meet up with the others. Unlike the others who were filled with worry and anxiety, the three teams from Konoha were all relaxed.

Orochimaru never made a mistake on a test when he was in school. He was undoubtedly the best in terms of theoretical knowledge, and no one in his grade dared to say he was second.

Moreover, the answer was the result of everyone discussing it together in the illusion.

After waiting for a few minutes, a beautiful figure walked out of the first examination room.

She looked at everyone, then took out a list and posted it on the door: "The results of the first exam are in. Eighty-one people have passed."

"Also, I am Chiyo, the chief examiner for the second exam. Those on the list, please come with me to the second exam room."

The female ninja said calmly.

Akabane was somewhat surprised. Was she Chiyo?

"I've heard of her; she's a very famous female ninja!"

Tsunade said excitedly.

The environment in the Land of Wind is harsh, but the sandstorms did not leave deep marks on her face, and she still looks young and beautiful.

However, when Chiyo is mentioned, Akabane always thinks of her as an old woman who likes to play dead.

Perhaps she heard it, because Chiyo looked over here.

Upon realizing that it was a girl who spoke, she smiled slightly at Tsunade before turning and walking away.

"That's great! I want to become a ninja like her someday... No, I want to surpass her and become the first female Hokage!"

Tsunade clenched her fist and said with conviction.

Seeing this, Akabane didn't know how to react.

Looking at the present, who could have imagined that the two would become bitter rivals?

Destiny...

"I just checked, and we've all advanced."

Zi Xiao ran back and happily shared the precious news with everyone.

"It's so simple, isn't it normal to pass all of them?"

Jiraiya looked at him with disdain.

The others smiled, clearly not caring—they all cheated in the illusion, so passing the game was perfectly normal.

Zi Xiao felt embarrassed and glared fiercely at Chi Yu.

If this guy hadn't only answered five questions, would he have been so worried about squeezing in?

"Ahem... Let's go to the second exam room first, so we can get there sooner and rest sooner."

Akabane forcefully broke the awkward silence, stiffly changing the subject.

"Let's go."

Orochimaru calmly walked ahead and led the way without saying anything more.

The group followed Chiyo from inside the village to the outside.

After traveling a long distance, the group arrived at a valley. Through the valley, they could see an endless desert—the entrance to the valley was surrounded by iron fences and guarded by ninjas, clearly indicating that it was a major transportation route.

"Something doesn't look right."

Shuo Mao frowned as he spoke.

"This used to be a battlefield. When the Hidden Stone Village invaded, many ninjas were poisoned and died in this desert."

Orochimaru said in a low voice.

"You know this as well?"

Akabane asked in surprise.

"Hmm, that was during the later stages of the First Shinobi World War."

Orochimaru was about to explain in detail, but then Chiyo looked over, so he paused.

Then, Chiyo came over.

Orochimaru bowed slightly, about to apologize...

"Your name is Orochimaru, right? My brother is right, you are indeed very knowledgeable."

Chiyo said with a smile.

"You flatter me."

Orochimaru remained calm.

At this moment, Chiyo glanced at Sakumo beside her, and her expression immediately turned sour.

Seeing this face reminds her of Kazami Hatake.

That guy has killed quite a few Sand Ninja.

She turned to look at the desert and said, "This desert not only buried the Iwa ninja, but also the Konoha ninja and our own Sunagakure ninja."

"Yes, that's why the ninja world needs peace."

Jiraiya remarked with some emotion.

"Hmph, kid, don't be so naive. Peace isn't that easy to achieve."

Chiyo sneered, took a few steps to the front of the canyon, and turned to scan the eighty-one people present.

Jiraiya wanted to complain, but given the opponent's strength, he decisively backed down.

"What Orochimaru said is right. This place used to be a battlefield, and there are many remnants of poison, unexploded detonators, traps, and so on."

Chiyo said calmly, "Once you go in, your life or death is irrelevant. It's not too late to back out now."

No one answered.

It has only been a little over two years since the great war, and all the genin here have indirectly experienced the war.

Therefore, simple words alone cannot deter them.

Chiyo gave a cold laugh and pulled out a stack of papers: "Since you're not withdrawing, then sign them."

The Chunin behind took them and distributed them one by one.

Akabane signed his name without any pressure and then handed the paper back to the other party.

After everyone had signed their names, Chiyo continued, "We have enclosed the examination area with iron netting and set up a total of forty entrances. Your task is simple: go inside, find coordinate scrolls like these, and then correctly reach the locations we require."

After she finished speaking, she took out a scroll and unfolded it.

The scroll contains a series of coded messages; deciphering the messages should reveal a coordinate location.

"I'll repeat myself, anyone who wants to quit should do so now."

Chiyo said with a smile.

Akabane exchanged glances with the others, then silently looked away.

“You’re all so stupid you’re not afraid of death. So, all the proctors… have them draw lots in groups, then go to the corresponding entrance. They’ll be allowed to enter after thirty minutes.”

Chiyo's tone was indifferent.
