Just like in the original story, Ibiki Morino presented the 'challenge or give up' choice before announcing the Tenth Question.
If they chose to challenge the Tenth Question, regardless of whether they answered the previous nine questions correctly, they would be immediately disqualified if they answered the Tenth Question incorrectly, and they would be unable to participate in the Chunin Exams for life.
If they chose to give up, they would also be disqualified, but they could participate in the next Chunin Exams.
Hearing this rule, the examinees who had managed to fill out the test papers by cheating found it unacceptable.
But under Ibiki Morino's pressure, they quickly quieted down and began to struggle.
"I give up!"
Soon, an examinee closed their eyes and gritted their teeth, raising their hand.
"I give up too, I'll just come again next time."
"I'm not going to gamble with my future!"
"..."
With someone taking the lead, examinees quickly raised their hands one after another, making excuses for themselves.
Because if one person was eliminated, the whole team suffered.
Each examinee who gave up meant three people leaving.
Before long, the test room, which already had many empty seats, suddenly had a third fewer people.
Resting his face on one hand and holding Hinata's small hand under the table with the other, Izayoi was curious about Naruto Uzumaki's expression at this time, wondering what that guy was feeling now.
If Izayoi turned his head or activated his Tenseigan, he would find that Naruto Uzumaki was standing with his arms crossed, looking relaxed and confident.
If you looked closely, you would find that his test paper was already filled with answers.
Unlike the blank paper in the original story, Naruto, who became Sasuke Uchiha's deskmate, didn't need to do anything at all, just hold the pen, and Sasuke Uchiha would take care of the rest.
Relying on the Uchiha clan's skill in manipulating Shuriken, Sasuke Uchiha directly used steel wire to transform into a puppeteer, controlling Naruto Uzumaki to answer the questions.
Naruto Uzumaki naturally didn't panic at all.
Without Naruto Uzumaki's encouragement, the number of people eliminated in the first exam was naturally more than in the original story.
But that was all.
Many foreign examinees had discovered the loophole.
Not being able to participate in the Chunin Exams didn't mean they couldn't become Chunin.
After all, they weren't Konoha ninjas. As long as they were good enough, the village's higher-ups would definitely promote them.
Choosing to give up now meant they could still go to a major ninja village to participate in the Chunin Exams next time, but it would disappoint the village's higher-ups.
Therefore, many examinees withstood this wave of psychological pressure from Ibiki Morino.
Seeing that time was about to run out, and seeing that no one chose to give up, and no one would choose to give up, Ibiki Morino, who had been wearing a tense face, suddenly revealed a smile and said, "Congratulations, you have all passed the first exam."
"Eh?!"
Sounds of surprise and astonishment immediately echoed.
The examinees who were originally prepared to challenge the Tenth Question were dumbfounded.
Then, many examinees who couldn't accept it questioned, "You... what do you mean by this?"
To this, Ibiki Morino began to explain the trial of the first exam.
It turned out that the first nine questions were only testing the ninja's knowledge and ability to gather information, and the Tenth Question was aimed at the cohesion of the entire team.
Even so, many examinees were still in a daze.
Bang!
Before they could recover, the sound of a Kunai breaking through the window attracted their attention.
Anko Mitarashi made a shining appearance in a flamboyant way that Naruto Uzumaki found very familiar, as if looking in a mirror.
Many examinees who saw this scene were filled with black lines.
However, the subsequent conversation between Anko Mitarashi and Ibiki Morino made all the examinees' expressions change slightly.
"Ibiki, what are you doing? How are there so many people left?"
"This year's Genin are more outstanding."
"Tch... it doesn't matter, anyway, in the next exam, I will reduce them by at least half."
At the end of her speech, Anko Mitarashi scanned the audience like a hunter.
Different from her flamboyant appearance, her sinister smile similar to Orochimaru, and the aura of a Special Jonin, made many examinees feel a chill in their hearts, and they no longer dared to underestimate this woman.
Just like Ibiki Morino, those who can become proctors are indeed not ordinary people.
"Everyone must gather outside Konoha Training Ground 44 by 3:00 PM tomorrow, and those who are late will be considered to have abstained."
After leaving these words, Anko Mitarashi left the test room, also announcing the end of the first exam.
"Yo, long time no see."
Eighth Squad and Seventh Squad still left the test room together.
However, before entering the corridor, Izayoi and others heard a familiar voice there.
Turning their heads, they saw Shikamaru Nara walking over with Choji Akimichi and Ino Yamanaka, with his hands behind his head.
"Sasuke, long time no see!"
Ino Yamanaka enthusiastically wanted to pounce on Sasuke Uchiha, but the latter dodged with a sidestep.
"Ino-pig, what do you want to do to Sasuke?" Sakura Haruno said angrily.
"Billboard brow, is it any of your business? Do you want to fight?" Ino Yamanaka retorted without showing weakness.
Then, these former best friends, just like Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki's previous fight, directly bumped their foreheads against each other, ready to fight at any time.
"Long time no see, Shikamaru, Choji."
Izayoi and others ignored the two women and greeted Shikamaru Nara and Choji Akimichi.
Izayoi teased, "I thought a guy like you who hates trouble wouldn't participate in the Chunin Exams."
"I really didn't want to participate, but unfortunately Asuma Sensei, and my Father both forced me to participate." Shikamaru Nara spread his hands and said, "Besides, Ino also wants to participate in the Chunin Exams, presumably you all saw something was wrong from the application forms."
"Yeah."
Izayoi nodded, and then the new version of the Konoha 11 walked out of the teaching building together.
On the way, Ino Yamanaka, who had already finished bickering with Sakura Haruno, had somehow moved next to Hinata, looked at the white kimono on Hinata, and said with a smile, "Hinata, this new outfit of yours is very beautiful, it suits your temperament very well."
"Thank you." Hinata smiled softly.
"That..."
Ino Yamanaka tugged at Hinata's sleeve a little embarrassedly, glanced at the boys' side, and then leaned to Hinata's ear, and asked in a low voice, "Hinata, how did you do it?"
Sakura Haruno's ears twitched slightly, imperceptibly getting closer to the two girls.
"What?" Hinata was a little confused.
"It's this, how did you do it?"
Ino Yamanaka first glanced at Hinata's amazing size, the conscience that even a loose kimono couldn't hide, and then looked at herself, although she couldn't be called an airport, but she couldn't be said to have the capital to be well-endowed, and asked again, "Hinata, what's your usual diet?"
Hinata's face instantly turned red, not knowing what she was thinking, she slowly lowered her head, and said in a low voice, "I... I don't know, I just eat more than others."
"Eating a lot is enough?"
Ino Yamanaka believed it was true, but looked at Choji Akimichi not far away who was eating potato chips, and like Shino Aburame, quietly watching Shikamaru Nara and Izayoi chatting, and immediately looked depressed, "It seems that this method is useless to me."
Although among the Ino-Shika-Cho, the Yamanaka Clan is the pig, Ino Yamanaka doesn't want to really become a pig.
Not only that, she also hates others calling her Ino-pig very much.
