Naruto gritted his teeth, his face ashen.
He had no idea if turning in this exam paper filled with cooking methods would get him instantly disqualified by the examiner.
To be honest, he really wanted to break this 'Eternal Genin' curse.
Naruto bit his pencil and began to think of a solution.
Behind him, Sasuke had also finished his paper. If anyone had peeked at his answers, they would've seen things like...
'Several fusion variations of Fire Release and strange flames, calculating blast radius...'
In short, it was just as absurd as Naruto's cooking-themed answers.
When Sakura saw her two teammates scribbling away furiously, she started cheering in her heart.
'Amazing! They actually know how to answer such difficult questions!'
'Naruto, I underestimated you all this time!'
'The first exam is in the bag!'
Seeing her teammates working hard, Sakura finally felt at ease and started answering her test paper.
As for the other examinees in the room...
They are all showing off their special talents, some using bugs to cheat, some using sand to condense their eyes, some using dogs to cheat, all kinds of bizarre methods are used.
Compared to them, Team 7 seemed downright honest.
Naruto frowned, gnawed on his pencil, and worked his brain frantically.
'No!'
'This can't go on.'
According to the reputation of Team 7 in the village...
Naruto found it hard to believe that he could still pass the first exam by just shouting a few times like in the original work.
'It seems that I can only use some other tricks…'
'Whoosh…'
Just as Naruto was deep in thought, a kunai whizzed past his ear and struck an examinee behind him.
The examinee, who was suddenly attacked, looked at the examiner throwing the kunai angrily.
"You…what are you doing!?"
"Hmph, five counts of cheating. Disqualified!"
Finally, the examinee and his teammates were escorted out, and Naruto's eyes lit up.
'I get it now!'
'Caught cheating five times will eliminate the entire team!'
The worry in Naruto's eyes instantly transformed into mischief.
'You sneaky outsiders, Konoha's Chunin Exams won't tolerate cheating!'
Glancing at all the examinees present, Naruto's gaze landed on a bespectacled Konoha's Shinobi.
'If I'm not mistaken, that guy should be Yakushi Kabuto.'
With that in mind, Naruto pulled out a small slip of paper and scribbled furiously, filling it with tiny, densely packed text.
After glancing at the examiner, who was not paying attention, he flicked the paper ball straight at Kabuto.
Whoosh…
Kabuto, who had been quietly writing, suddenly heard a sound of breaking air beside his ear. Before he could react, his glasses shattered.
'What the…?'
Kabuto was confused. He looked down and found it was a ball of paper. He opened it with curiosity and found that it was filled with densely written text.
At this time, Naruto opened his mask, revealing his iconic yellow hair. He raised his right hand and shouted righteously to Ibiki, "Examiner! That guy is cheating!"
"I'm reporting him!!"
As he spoke, he pointed at Kabuto in the corner.
Kabuto: "???"
'Huh?'
Kabuto, who was suddenly reported, clutched the note, utterly bewildered.
Not only him, Ibiki and the other examiners were just as confused as Kabuto.
Sakura, who was sitting in the back row, felt her vision go dark. She knew her teammates were about to cause trouble.
Meanwhile, all Konoha's examinees who were cheating at this moment suddenly felt nervous...
'Please don't…!'
'We have just started cheating to collect answers. If you want to report someone, don't report the Shinobi from your own village!'
All the Shinobi from Konoha, who knew this yellow-haired delinquent, began to panic.
As for the Shinobi from other villages, they were just nervous for a moment, waiting for the storm to pass before continuing to cheat.
They had no idea what was going to happen next.
"Examinee No. 90, first cheating offense."
In the end, Ibiki was the one who spoke up.
Hearing that he had been marked for cheating out of nowhere, Kabuto felt very aggrieved.
He had answered these exam questions countless times before!
So he totally disdains to do such a thing!
'It was that Uzumaki Naruto who framed me!?'
Kabuto considered that he had a good temper, but when he thought of that brat distorting the truth and slandering him, he became so angry that his chest heaved.
'I'll endure this…'
'I must not ruin Lord Orochimaru's plan because of a momentary anger!'
'There's no way this little punk would...'
Whoosh…
Another sound of breaking air rang beside Kabuto's ear, and then he saw the yellow-haired delinquent pointing at him again...
"Examiner!"
"That four-eyed bastard is cheating again!"
"How could such scum come out of our Konoha Village!"
"If you cheat on the exam, your whole family deserve to die!"
Konoha's Shinobi: "???"
'What's wrong with this yellow-haired delinquent? It's fine if you report someone for cheating, but why are you also cursing at him?'
Naruto said this with a righteous look on his face, and at the same time, he taunted the entire map.
"Examiner!"
"I didn't cheat!"
Kabuto, who usually keeps a low profile, finally couldn't hold back anymore. He stood up and started defending himself, "Look at the note on the corner of your desk!"
"I saw it with my own eyes."
Seeing that the exam room was becoming increasingly chaotic, Ibiki immediately stepped in.
"That's enough!"
"Examinee No. 90, second cheating offense."
After saying this, Ibiki rubbed his temple.
Not only did the other candidates present want to deal with the yellow-haired delinquent, even he himself also wanted to drag this yellow-haired delinquent out and give him a good beating.
'Does this idiot not realize this exam is about gathering intelligence?'
"Examinee No. 3, if you continue disrupting the exam..."
"The rules don't say I can't report someone for cheating, right?"
"Uh…"
Just when Ibiki was about to deduct points from Naruto, he heard the other party using the rules to pressure him, and he was instantly choked and speechless.
Normally, if anyone else pulled this stunt, as the chief examiner, he could just kick them out...
But this kid is the number one troublemaker in Konoha, and Ibiki is afraid that if he kicks this yellow-haired delinquent out, he will literally tear the exam venue apart.
'Damn it! This is so annoying!'
'Don't tell me he plans to report every single examinee like this?'
When the examinees heard what Naruto just said, their eyes lit up instantly.
'That's right!'
'Wouldn't we advance as long as we catch others cheating?'
As a result, the atmosphere in the examination room suddenly changed…
From everyone trying to find ways to cheat, to everyone trying to frame others for cheating.
A few minutes later, all the examinees in the examination room were arguing with each other until their faces turned red.
Many examinees were reported and eliminated, and unsurprisingly, Kabuto became the first examinee to be reported and eliminated.
As for those who reported Team 7, they were knocked down with pebbles by Naruto before they could even finish their words.
Naruto also wrote down these people's names on a small piece of paper. When the exam was over, he would go out and put sacks on those who reported his team.
Looking at the increasingly chaotic examination room, Ibiki and the other examiners felt a headache coming to their heads.
They really couldn't imagine why the exam would turn into this.
In the end, it was Ibiki who stepped forward and stopped the riot.
"SHUT UP, ALL OF YOU!"
"RIGHT NOW!"
"HAND IN YOUR PAPERS!!!"
