I was broadcast live while taking the Chunin Exam!

but……

From his perspective, Lord Orochimaru's answer was standard and very similar to his own.

This indicates that this is basically the correct answer.

but……

Kitahara-kun's... are all wrong!

[Minato Namikaze]: I can confirm that Kitahara-kun's answers this time were all wrong.

Tobirama Senju: ...

[Tobirama Senju]: Doesn't he know how either?

[Worst Kazekage - Rasa]: Of course, after all, no matter how outstanding Kitahara Kaede is, he is still just a child.

【The Worst Wind Shadow - Luo Sha】: So it's normal to write nonsense.

[Dazhuzi Hanhan]: What do you think, Onoki?

[Third Tsuchikage - Onoki]: Me?

This time, Onoki arrived at this small group suddenly, and he wasn't prepared at all.

The main problem is... their new generation of ninjas from Iwagakure are not up to par. For example, Deidara was trained for a long time but then ran away.

and so.

He has ordered that young ninjas are not allowed to leave the village, lest they be trained and then lured away by other ninja villages.

Even though Iwagakure is currently one of the more prosperous of the five great ninja villages, it can't withstand such a free win.

This time, he felt that the strategy was really right.

Because... he doesn't know the answers to these questions either.

So the genin who come to take the exam... will probably be eliminated in the first round.

So, since none of his subordinates came to take the exam, he was actually the most relaxed one.

So he answered easily.

[Third Tsuchikage: Onoki]: Our Iwagakure village focuses on practical combat skills, so we are relatively weak in written tests, so asking me is useless.

[Big Pillar Silly]: Oh, I see...

[Third Raikage - A]: If it's a written test, Killer Bee from our ninja village is pretty good.

[Third Raikage - A]: Killer Bee is not only good at singing, dancing and rapping, but also loves to learn.

[Kidney Deficiency Naruto]: Killer Bee is the least likely to be like this.

Kakashi made a comment.

[Minato Namikaze]: It can now be confirmed that Kitahara-kun's answer was completely wrong.

[Minato Namikaze]: Ah, this is not good. My Naruto got nervous when he saw Kitahara-kun answer.

[Hashirama Senju's younger brother]: Sasuke, that idiot, has awakened the Sharingan!

Izuna and Sasuke have the same face, so every time he sees Sasuke make a fool of himself, he feels ashamed.

And now... Sasuke has actually started cheating.

He directly activated his Sharingan and copied Kitahara Kaede's answer.

[Hashirama Senju's younger brother]: This idiot, why did he copy the wrong answer!

However, everyone discovered that it wasn't just Sasuke who started copying; someone saw that Sasuke had activated his Sharingan, but the examiners saw it but did nothing.

So, they became bolder.

They began to secretly copy.

For example, the top ninja team that graduated from the Ninja Academy last year.

After being taught a lesson by Hinata in black a few days ago, Neji has become much more composed.

But now... they've started cheating.

Might Guy was the first to notice Neji's actions.

[Might Guy]: Wow... Neji's started copying too. Neji's started copying Kitahara Kaede's answers too.

[Might Guy]: My Tenten, Tenten has started cheating too... She copied Neji's.

[MattKai]: She started giving Xiao Li the wrong answers.

Ah Kai immediately covered his head with both hands, feeling an overwhelming sense of pressure.

because.

The fourth generation member in the group just said that Kitahara Kaede's answer was wrong.

But all the answers copied down by this group of people... were Kitahara Kaede's wrong answers!

But the truly correct answer for Orochimaru... went unnoticed.

Not only that.

After discovering that they could cheat without being told off by the examiners, everyone chose to take the risk.

The candidates from Konoha, this year's new candidates... have all started cheating.

Naruto doesn't have such advanced skills; he doesn't have the Sharingan or Byakugan, nor can he cheat by manipulating ninja tools like Tenten, so he's conflicted.

in this way.

A wave of cheating, sparked by examinees from Konoha, begins...

[Kidney Deficiency Fire Shadow]: Ah, this...

Kakashi was completely bewildered.

In the situation of Team 7, which he led, Kitahara Kaede's answer was wrong, and Sasuke, unaware that Kitahara Kaede's answer was wrong, was copying it enthusiastically.

Naruto was scratching his head, trying to think of a cheating method that wouldn't be easily detected.

In short, Naruto's idea was also... to copy down Kitahara Kaede's or Sasuke's answers.

[Hashirama Senju's younger brother]: I can't take it anymore, Sasuke is such an idiot...

Izuna immediately started swearing.

[Hashirama Senju's younger brother]: Sasuke, that guy, clearly copied the wrong answer without even realizing it, and is still secretly pleased with himself.

[Hashirama Senju's younger brother]: I'm devastated, I'm so utterly humiliated—

[Big Pillar Silly]: Um... Izuna, I feel sorry for you, but I don't know how to comfort you.

After considering Kakashi, Minato, and Tobirama's suspicions, and then Orochimaru's own definitive answer...

Kitahara Kaede's wrong answer is spreading rapidly among Konoha examinees.

In other words... any Konoha examinee who thought of cheating... copied the wrong answers.

[Third Tsuchikage - Onoki]: I don't know why, but I feel like laughing.

[Third Raikage - A]: Onoki, you're so mean! You just mind your own business!

[Third Tsuchikage - Onoki]: A, why don't you take a look at your own Kumogakure? Your nine junior examinees are also copying.

[Third Tsuchikage - Ōnoki]: LOL, they're copying Hyuga Neji. And Hyuga Neji copied Kitahara Kaede's wrong answer.

[Third Tsuchikage - Onoki]: In this exam, the first test alone wiped out all the candidates from Konoha and Kumogakure.

[Third Tsuchikage - Ōnoki]: The examiner is named Morino Ibiki, right? I, Ōnoki, hereby declare you the strongest! Hahaha!

Although it's a small group of members, everyone comes from different places.

And Onoki immediately launched a gloating, sweeping generalization.

This time, even the First Hokage, Hashirama, who had previously suppressed him with his "kindness," was helpless.

Like a spark igniting a wildfire, all the examinees in Konoha... began to plagiarize.

Even Maruboshi Kosuke, who had been a genin for 50 years... started copying.

Naturally, the answers copied were all wrong.

···········

The candidates from Konoha... all gave wrong answers!

In the Third Hokage's office.

Konoha F4: ...

"This……"

"I found out some good news and some bad news," said Xiaochun, who was turning the dorm.

"The good news is that when my vision shifted just now, I saw the scrolls that the two grass ninjas sitting behind Kitahara Kaede were holding."

"The answers were written on that test paper."

"If the person who wrote the answer is Orochimaru, then there is an 80% probability that this person is Orochimaru."

“That’s good news,” Koharu Utatane continued. “But the bad news is that the answers on this person’s test paper… are completely different from Kitahara Kaede’s.”

"And if Orochimaru's answer is correct... then... Kitahara Kaede's current answers are all just guesswork."

"But... all the Konoha examinees are copying each other's papers, and the source of the exam papers is Kitahara Kaede."

"so……"

Xiaochun couldn't continue speaking.

But everyone understands.

This means that... all the candidates from Konoha failed the written exam and were eliminated in the first exam.

This is something that has never happened in any ninja village that has hosted the Chunin Exams since the village was founded!

It goes beyond just being shameful.

Instead, it greatly damaged the village's reputation!

"..." The Third Hokage. "That is indeed Orochimaru's handwriting."

"As his former teacher, I can still recognize this handwriting. When he wrote the last stroke of the character '天' (tian, meaning sky), he would slightly hook it."

"That's his habit."

"Therefore, this grass ninja is very likely Orochimaru in disguise."

"He really did come to Konoha, just as predicted."

"but……"

The third generation paused for a moment without speaking.

Danzo, however, took over the conversation.

"But for Konoha now... it is a time of life and death!"

"All the candidates from Konoha... copied the wrong answers!"

"That means this exam... the very first exam will eliminate all the candidates from Konoha!"

"So……"

"The Chunin Exams held by Konoha... have become a joke!"

"Sarutobi!"

Danzo's tone instantly turned stern. "If it ends like this, then you will face the prospect of resigning for such a disgraceful Chunin Exam!"

The moment those words were spoken, the surrounding air seemed to freeze.

Neither Koharu nor Mitokado Hō said anything.

Because both of them knew that Danzo was right.

When this kind of thing happens, it's a huge scandal!

Three generations... they absolutely have to resign!
