Chapter 20 Yue Yan: Master Sakura, I'm sorry. I dare not compare myself with you anymore.
Time went back to the morning.
Kakashi, who knew well that Obito Uchiha liked to be late, went to his house early in the morning and waited with Rin.
Obito Uchiha explained that he didn't have the habit of being late and wasn't really bad at telling time. It was just that there were always some small incidents.
Kakashi was skeptical. Since there was still plenty of time, he wanted to see what would happen.
As a result, they didn't meet anyone in need of help along the way.
Under Kakashi's dead - fish - eyed stare, Obito Uchiha's face flushed bright red with embarrassment. With Rin beside him, he had to prove that he wasn't lying, so he was going to look for someone who needed help.
But Kakashi didn't want to listen to his explanations. He tied Obito Uchiha up forcefully and took him to the examination room.
Then came the scene that Yue Yan saw.
Noticing many people around looking at him, Obito Uchiha, feeling ashamed, struggled wildly.
"Damn Kakashi! Put me, the great one, down right now!"
Fed up with Obito Uchiha's noise, Kakashi just let go, and Obito Uchiha landed hard on the ground.
Rubbing his sore butt, Obito Uchiha glared at Kakashi.
"Damn it! Do you want to fight!?"
Facing Obito Uchiha's provocation, Kakashi just rolled his dead - fish eyes and ignored him.
Just as Obito Uchiha was about to roll up his sleeves and fight Kakashi, Yue Yan greeted him from the side.
"Yo, Obito Uchiha, you're surprisingly not late this time."
Obito Uchiha, whose attention was diverted, looked at Yue Yan and rolled his eyes in annoyance.
"What do you mean by'surprisingly not late'? Makes it sound like I'm always late, ya know!"
"Yeah, right, right. I wonder who used to be late seven times a week when we were in school, even though there were only five school days a week."
"No... You... I... Ahh, I had to be late for a reason. I was really afraid of missing someone in need of help."
"So, why didn't we meet anyone this time?"
Kakashi with dead - fish eyes came behind Obito Uchiha and quietly threw in a deadly sarcasm.
At this moment, Obito Uchiha covered his chest, feeling as if he'd been stabbed several times in the heart. It hurt like hell.
With a desperate look on his face, he looked at Rin Nohara, hoping to get some comfort from the goddess.
Noticing Obito Uchiha's pitiful look, Rin Nohara showed a gentle and somewhat helpless smile.
"Obito Uchiha, it's wrong to lie."
The moment she finished speaking, Obito Uchiha froze. He didn't lie, but no one believed him. He was desperate for this false world. Especially when he heard the merciless ridicule from Yue Yan and Kakashi, Obito Uchiha swore that he would definitely destroy this false world.
After a fit of laughter, Asuma looked at Kakashi and voiced his doubts.
"Weren't you already a Chunin long ago? Why are you still taking the Chunin Exams?"
When he saw it was the son of the Third kage asking him, Kakashi shrugged and gave a more acceptable explanation.
"There's nothing I can do about it. The Chunin Exams are held in teams of three. If I don't participate, Obito Uchiha and Rin can't take it either. After all, we can't team up with someone we're not familiar with."
"I see."
Asuma nodded, apparently believing this explanation.
On the other side, Yue Yan curled his lips. He thought, no wonder Asuma was being so naive. He actually believed such an obvious lie.
Yue Yan didn't think the high - ups let Kakashi participate in this Chunin Exams for such a reason. It was more likely that the high - ups wanted to showcase the potential of Konoha's new generation to intimidate other villages.
At the same time, other villages must think the same way. There must be some Chunin mixed among the candidates for the Chunin Exams.
As for Jonin, there probably weren't any. After all, there was a review mechanism. The people of Konoha definitely wouldn't allow ninjas of that level to participate.
Noticing Yue Yan's expression, Kakashi, being a genius, couldn't help but squint his eyes. The mission he received was the same as what Yue Yan guessed. It was to demonstrate the strength of Konoha's new generation in the Chunin Exams. But he didn't expect it to be so easily seen through.
Kakashi hadn't spent much time with Yue Yan. In his memory, Yue Yan performed mediocrely at the ninja school and had nothing outstanding about him. The only other information he got was from Obito Uchiha's casual remarks. Apart from being a bit sarcastic, he was also unremarkable.
"Is he an intellect - type ninja like those from the Nara clan?"
Kakashi muttered under his breath. Although he judged Yue Yan to be of high - intelligence type, he didn't take it to heart.
After all, intelligence could only increase the chances of winning in a battle. As long as one's strength far exceeded his, there would be no threat.
Thinking like this, Kakashi stopped paying attention to Yue Yan. More precisely, after Might Guy joined them, with Obito Uchiha on one side and Might Guy on the other, there was no time for him to focus on Yue Yan.
Amid the noise, time quickly came to the start of the Chunin Exams.
"All of you, be quiet!"
The Konoha examiner wearing a Jonin - level vest stood on the high platform. His killing intent enveloped all the candidates present indiscriminately.
After the candidates were intimidated by his killing intent and stopped making a sound, he nodded in satisfaction.
"Good. Now this is the first round of the Chunin Exams. Take the serial numbers with your names on them and enter the corresponding classrooms to take the exam."
After saying that, the examiner signaled his subordinate beside him with his eyes to count the number of candidates and distribute the test papers at the same time.
"Before the exam, I'll explain the rules to you so that no one tries to be smart aleck. So, listen up! No objections allowed. If there are any, your entire team will lose the chance to continue and be sent packing."
Noticing that everyone was silently staring at him, the examiner nodded in satisfaction.
"Good. It seems there aren't any troublemakers among you. Saves me some effort. Now, I'm going to announce the exam rules. This exam is in written form, lasting 60 minutes in total. There are 10 questions, and a scoring system of adding and deducting points is in place. You'll get 1 point for a correct answer, lose 1 point for a wrong one, and get 0 points for no answer. Those with a score below 5 will be directly eliminated along with their entire team. I'm really curious to see if you'll play it safe and skip the questions, or take the risk of answering wrong and keep going."
The examiner didn't even give the candidates a chance to speak and directly announced the start of the exam.
On Yue Yan's side, after getting the test paper, he started looking through it. Thinking he was good at studying, even though he knew this exam was a test of intelligence - gathering ability, he still wanted to give it a try.
After all, the future Master Sakura got all the answers right on her own. It shouldn't be too difficult, he thought.
Yue Yan: Old man! Subway! Phone! (Image)
Question: When an enemy releases the Great Fireball Technique, and you also release the Great Fireball Technique, how much chakra should you use to counter the enemy's ninjutsu? And how much chakra is needed to cause an explosion?
Question: When a Shuriken is aimed at a distant target... blah, blah... What is the deflection resistance? And how much force is required?
What the hell is this crap? Isn't the Great Fireball Technique about releasing the largest fireball possible? Why don't I just release a 10 - meter - wide fireball to crush the enemy? Also! I'm studying medicine. Who the hell knows what the deflection resistance is? I've forgotten all my physics knowledge since the college entrance exam, okay!
