The outdoor and indoor atmospheres are two completely different things.
Although there were few people outside, Class 7 and Class 8 felt very cozy, like a warm corridor in winter.
There were obviously many people in the room and it was noisy.
But when Uzumaki Naruto and Haruno Sakura stepped into the examination room, they felt a biting chill.
As if noticing them, the examination room suddenly became much quieter, and countless gazes were cast at them like needle points.
Uzumaki Naruto and Haruno Sakura, who did not encounter Zabuza Momochi and Haku in the Wave Country chapter, and the Demon Brothers were both defeated by Uchiha Sasuke, tensed up and their eyes revealed a hint of fear involuntarily.
"The tail end, are you shaking?"
At this moment, Uchiha Sasuke's voice reached my ears.
Looking at the mocking Uchiha Sasuke, Uzumaki Naruto for some reason suddenly felt his fear disappear, and he shouted, "I'm not afraid of them! I'm just shaking with excitement."
Izayoi ignored Team 7 and said to Hinata and Aburame Shino, "Go find your seats first."
"Um."
Hinata and Aburame Shino nodded, then looked for their seat numbers and walked over.
Izayoi and Hinata's seats are in the third row in the middle, and they happen to sit at the same table.
Yes, Izayoi's seat is the original Uzumaki Naruto position.
Uzumaki Naruto received a seat number, still next to Hinata, and then Izayoi exchanged seat numbers with him.
Uzumaki Naruto would naturally not refuse such a small request.
Interestingly, the seat number Izayoi received was the same as Uchiha Sasuke's.
Now the two have exchanged seat numbers, Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto have become deskmates. I wonder if Uchiha Sasuke will help Uzumaki Naruto cheat. Will the morale-boosting scene from the original work appear?
But the butterfly effect has already appeared.
The nine strongest men did not gather at the podium, Yakushi Kabuto did not show up to win favor, and Yakushi Kabuto and the Sound Ninja did not stage their own little farce.
Before the exam started, Izayoi and Hinata started biting each other's ears, just like they used to do in school.
Of course, considering that there were strangers around, the two chatted about normal topics.
"Hanabi has already started learning Eight Trigrams·Thirty-two Palms? So powerful?" Izayoi asked in surprise.
"Yeah." Hinata nodded, a proud smile on her face, "Father and the elders also said that Hanabi Gentle Fist's talent is higher than mine. When I was her age, I was still practicing acupressure, and my chakra was not as strong as hers."
In response, Izayoi smiled but said nothing.
Hanabi is admittedly very talented, but there is still a big gap compared to Hinata.
If Izayoi had obtained Uzumaki blood (purple) when Hinata was five, and awakened her physical healing abilities, allowing Hinata to absorb Chakra for two years, she would have definitely been more amazing than Hanabi when she was seven.
Chakra is huge, but it is a hidden talent.
However, Hanabi's growth still surprised Izayoi.
It seems that Ōtsutsuki bloodline (red) + physical healing makes itself a great tonic.
Starting to learn Eight Trigrams and Thirty-two Palms at the age of seven, if Hanabi continues to absorb it until Boruto's death, to what extent will the heaven-defying change his fate be?
Evolve into Tenseigan?
It feels unlikely.
Because Izayoi gradually realized something crucial.
Hinata absorbed his Chakra, and her Byakugan had already exceeded the upper limit of the Hyuga clan, so it shouldn't be long before she's able to upgrade.
With this level of improvement, if it were placed on a blue entry, this entry would have been upgraded to a purple entry long ago.
However, Hinata Ōtsutsuki bloodline is still just a blue entry.
This means that Izayoi Chakra cannot upgrade the Hinata Ōtsutsuki bloodline.
Tenseigan, on the other hand, is based on Ōtsutsuki bloodline (red), and can evolve into Tenseigan even if the Byakugan purity is only at the gold level.
If Hinata and Hanabi simply upgrade their 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 a red entry?
Like Ōtsutsuki Kaguya, who can release coercion and illusions?
Or can they awaken special abilities like the pure-blooded Ōtsutsuki clan?
Izayoi doesn't know, but he is very much looking forward to the future of the two women.
While Izayoi and Hinata were chatting, the candidates had already arrived one after another.
Bang, bang, bang——
After an unknown amount of time, the overlapping sounds of several balloons popping interrupted Izayoi and Hinata's whispering.
Over on the podium, several puffs of white smoke appeared out of thin air.
When the smoke cleared, the chief examiner of the first exam, Ibiki Morino, appeared with several invigilators.
"Quiet."
Morino Ibiki just shouted softly, and the entire examination room became so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
Many of the Genins who had looked ferocious before and were specifically designed to scare the candidates who had just entered the room, held their breath and dared not even to breathe.
There's no way, it's just that Morino Ibiki's appearance and his eyes are too scary.
His face was covered with scars and his eyes were like a prison warden, as if the people in front of him were not examinees but prisoners who could be tortured at any time.
Morino Ibiki, who has an amazing aura, doesn't need to use anyone to establish his authority.
After briefly 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..."
Seeing the first exam, which was the nightmare of six years in ninja school, Uzumaki Naruto turned completely white. He, who had never been convinced by Uchiha Sasuke, also sent out a distress signal for the first time.
Hearing this, Uchiha Sasuke couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth in satisfaction.
However, when the test papers were handed out, his expression froze.
What...what is this?
Is this the kind of knowledge that is taught in the six years of Ninja School?
Could it be that his status as an excellent student in academic subjects was actually fake?
Almost subconsciously, Uchiha Sasuke raised his eyes and looked towards Izayoi and Hinata.
I saw that the two of them had already started writing.
At this moment, Uchiha Sasuke seemed to see a huge gap slowly appearing between him and the two of them.
They are totally not on the same level.
But fortunately, his seat was in the back row.
Then, Uchiha Sasuke's mouth curled up again, and his black eyes had turned into scarlet two-magatama Sharingan.
His eyes were fixed on Izayoi, without even looking at the paper, but the pen in his hand was writing one word after another on the blank paper.
If you look closely, you will find that the handwriting is completely different from the name on the test paper.
While Uchiha Sasuke was copying Izayoi's moves, other candidates who didn't know how to answer the questions also began to show their skills.
Whether it was using secret techniques, bloodline limits, ninja tools, or even ugly sneak peeks...all kinds of cheating methods were seen by Morino Ibiki and several invigilators.
They didn't speak.
When the invigilator sees someone cheating, he or she will write a number -2 next to that person's seat number.
The full score of the test is ten. If you are caught cheating, two points will be deducted instead of being eliminated on the spot.
Until someone is deducted ten points, the entire team, including his teammates, will be eliminated.
"No. 35 is eliminated, and this guy's two teammates are also kicked out."
In less than five minutes, the first eliminated person appeared.
The first person to be eliminated naturally feels dissatisfied.
But after being reprimanded by the invigilator and seeing the gap between them and Chūnin, the psychological pressure on those cheaters suddenly doubled.
After all, they didn't know if their cheating would be discovered by Chūnin who were higher than them.
Once he is eliminated, his teammates will be eliminated as well. How will he explain to his teammates then?
The only exceptions are those who possess secret techniques and bloodline limits.
Soon, forty minutes of the exam time had passed.
The examination room, which was previously packed with people, now has a large number of seats empty. I don't know how many teams have been eliminated.
Izayoi and Hinata had already finished answering all the questions and were chatting under the table using the ninja school's secret hand gestures. When they noticed their invigilators, the corners of their mouths twitched slightly.
Another five minutes passed, and Morino Ibiki checked his pocket watch and shouted, "Everyone put down your pens. Next, I will announce the tenth question."
