Chapter 55: My Sister-in-law's Growth, The First Exam
The atmosphere outside and inside the room were completely different.
Although there were very few people outside, Team 7 and Team 8 felt very warm, like a warm corridor in winter.
And although there were many people inside and the sound was noisy.
But Naruto Uzumaki and Sakura Haruno, who stepped into the examination room, felt a chilling cold.
As if noticing them, the examination room suddenly became much quieter, and countless eyes were projected like needle tips, making Naruto Uzumaki and Sakura Haruno, who had not encountered Zabuza Momochi and Haku in the Land of Waves arc, and the Demon Brothers were also defeated by Sasuke Uchiha, their bodies tensed, and their eyes involuntarily revealed a hint of fear.
"Dobe, are you trembling?"
At this moment, Sasuke Uchiha's voice came into his ears.
Looking at Sasuke Uchiha's mocking face, Naruto Uzumaki didn't know why, the fear in his heart instantly dissipated, and he shouted loudly, "I'm not afraid of them! I'm just trembling with excitement."
Izayoi ignored Team 7 and said to Hinata and Shino Aburame, "Let's find our seats first."
"Yes."
Hinata and Shino Aburame nodded, then looked for their seat numbers and walked away.
Izayoi and Hinata's seat numbers were middle third row, and they just so happened to be deskmates.
Yes, Izayoi's seat was the seat of Naruto Uzumaki in the original work.
The seat number Naruto Uzumaki was given was still beside Hinata, and then Izayoi swapped seat numbers with him.
Naruto Uzumaki would not turn down this little request naturally.
Curiously, the seat number Izayoi was given was the same table as Sasuke Uchiha.
Now that the two exchanged seat numbers, Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki became deskmates. I don't know if Sasuke Uchiha will help Naruto Uzumaki cheat, and whether the scene of cheering up the morale in the original work will still appear?
But the butterfly effect has already appeared.
The nine newcomers did not share a little reunion at the podium, Kabuto Yakushi did not seem to try to ingratiate himself, and there was no little farce written and performed by Kabuto Yakushi and the Sound Ninja.
Although the exam had not yet begun, Izayoi and Hinata began whispering, just as they used to at school.
Of course, given that everyone around them were strangers, they chatted about everyday things.
"Hanabi has already started learning Eight Trigrams Thirty-Two Palms? So powerful?" Izayoi was a little surprised.
"Yes." Hinata nodded, her face full of pride, "Father and the elders also said that Hanabi's Gentle Fist talent is higher than mine. When I was her age, I was still practicing finger pressure, and my chakra was not as strong as hers."
Izayoi smiled without saying a word.
Hanabi's talent is certainly high, but compared with Hinata, there is still a big gap.
If Izayoi had obtained the Uzumaki bloodline (purple) when Hinata was five years old, and awakened physical healing to let Hinata absorb chakra for two years, she would definitely be more amazing than Hanabi at the age of seven.
Huge chakra is a hidden talent.
However, Hanabi's growth still surprised Izayoi.
It seems that the Otsutsuki bloodline (red) + physical healing has turned him into a big tonic.
At the age of seven, he began to learn the Eight Trigrams Thirty-Two Palms. If Hanabi continues to suck until Boruto, how far will it change his fate?
Evolve into Tenseigan?
It feels unlikely.
Because Izayoi gradually realized a very crucial thing.
Hinata absorbed his chakra, and Byakugan had broken through the upper limit of the Hyuga clan. It shouldn't be long before it is upgraded.
This level of improvement, placed on the blue entry, this entry would have been upgraded to the purple entry long ago.
However, Hinata's Otsutsuki bloodline is still just a blue entry.
This means that Izayoi's chakra cannot upgrade Hinata's Otsutsuki bloodline.
And Tenseigan is mainly based on the Otsutsuki bloodline (red), even if the purity of Byakugan is only golden level, it can still evolve into Tenseigan.
If Hinata and Hanabi just simply improve Byakugan, then the possibility of them awakening Tenseigan in the future is very small.
But what will happen if their bloodline limit Byakugan is upgraded to the red entry?
Like Kaguya Otsutsuki, can release coercion and genjutsu?
Or like the pure-blooded Otsutsuki clan, can awaken special abilities?
Izayoi didn't know, but he was very much looking forward to the future of the two girls.
While Izayoi and Hinata were chatting, the examinees had arrived one after another.
Bang bang bang——
After an unknown amount of time, several overlapping sounds of popping balloons interrupted Izayoi and Hinata's whispering.
On the podium, several groups of white smoke appeared out of thin air.
When the smoke dissipated, Morino Ibiki, the chief examiner of the first exam, made a shining appearance with several examiners.
"Quiet."
Morino Ibiki just gave a light drink, and the entire examination room became so quiet that a needle could be heard.
Several Chunin, who had been fierce and deliberately frightened the examinees who had just come in, held their breath and did not dare to breathe.
There was no way, Morino Ibiki's appearance and his eyes were too scary.
His face was full of knife scars, and his eyes were like a prison warden. It seemed that what was in front of him was not an examinee, but a prisoner, who might be tortured at any time.
Morino Ibiki, who had an amazing aura, didn't need to use people to establish his prestige.
After simply explaining the exam rules and announcing the tenth question at the end of the exam, he announced the official start of the first exam.
"Sasuke, help... help me."
Seeing that the first exam was the nightmare of six years in the ninja school, Naruto Uzumaki turned white. He, who had never been convinced by Sasuke Uchiha, also sent out a distress signal for the first time.
Upon hearing this, Sasuke Uchiha couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth in triumph.
But when the test paper was distributed, his face went blank.
What... what is this?
Are these test questions all the knowledge taught in the six years of ninja school?
Could it be that he, the best student in cultural classes, is actually a fake?
Nearly unconsciously, Sasuke Uchiha glanced up at Izayoi and Hinata.
I saw the two of them had begun writing.
At this moment, Sasuke Uchiha seemed to see a huge gap slowly appearing between him and the two.
Not at the same level at all.
But fortunately, his seat was in the back row.
So, the corners of Sasuke Uchiha's mouth turned up again, and his black eyes had turned into scarlet two-tomoe Sharingan.
His eyes kept staring at Izayoi, not even looking at the test paper, but the pen in his hand was writing words on the blank test paper.
If you look closely, you will find that the handwriting of these words is completely different from the name on the test paper.
Just as Sasuke Uchiha was copying Izayoi's movements, other examinees who couldn't answer the questions also began to show their magical powers.
Whether it is by means of secret techniques, bloodline limits, ninja tools, or even ugly peeking. all kinds of cheating methods are seen by Morino Ibiki and several examiners.
They didn't speak.
It's just that when they saw unbearable cheating, the examiners would write the number -2 next to that person's seat number.
The full score of the test paper is only ten points. If cheating is discovered, two points will be deducted, instead of being eliminated on the spot.
Until someone is deducted ten points, the entire team, including their teammates, will be eliminated.
"No. 35 is eliminated, and his two teammates get out too."
In less than five minutes, the first eliminated person appeared.
The first person to be eliminated naturally felt unconvinced.
But after being taught a lesson by the examiner and seeing the gap with Chunin, the psychological pressure on those cheaters suddenly increased.
After all, they didn't know if their cheating would be discovered by Chunin who were higher than them.
Once they were eliminated, their teammates would also be eliminated, so how could they explain to their teammates?
Only secret techniques and bloodline limit owners are excluded.
Soon, forty minutes of exam time passed.
The previously packed examination room had a lot of empty seats, and I don't know how many teams were eliminated.
Izayoi and Hinata had already completed all the questions, and were conversing beneath the table using the cipher gestures they were taught by the ninja school, which caused the examiners who saw them to twitch their lips slightly.
It was another five minutes before Morino Ibiki glanced at the time on his pocket watch and yelled, "Put down your pens, and I will next announce the tenth question."
