Konoha's Crazy Hair Immortal

It seems that this written test not only tests the theoretical knowledge of the genin, but is also a game of choice. Once you choose the wrong one, it means that you will not be able to participate in the actual battle that follows. .

Under Sakumo's arrangement, the test papers were distributed to every candidate present, one copy for each person.

The candidates got the test paper and quickly browsed the questions in the test paper.

The first four questions are all regular theoretical questions, including the calculation of the optimal distance for throwing ninja tools, how to make clever use of the surrounding environment during combat, the formation methods of the three basic ninjutsu, and the theoretical explanation of the conflicting attributes.

Most of these contents are not difficult as long as you study them carefully in the ninja school.

But the last question, as Orochimaru said, was not only tricky, but even made it impossible for the candidates to start.

The content of the question is as follows: While performing an S-level intelligence mission, he was discovered by the enemy and fell into a desperate situation. Behind him was a cliff. At this time, the enemy gave himself two choices. First, leave the intelligence behind and put it away. You have a way to survive. Secondly, you are killed by the enemy after a life-and-death struggle, and then the information is taken away. If you were the party involved, what choice would you make based on the two paths given by the enemy.

When they saw this question, the candidates immediately exploded.

"What the hell is this? The result of both paths is that the information is stolen. As a ninja, you must complete the super-level instructions. Otherwise, even if you can survive, it will be the greatest blasphemy to your "ninja" identity."

"But you have to choose one of these two paths. If you choose the first one, you can still save your life. In any case, it is impossible to retain the information. When weighing the two aspects, the first path is still more cost-effective."

"But even if you choose the first path, there is no guarantee that the enemy will break his promise, and you will still not be able to escape death in the end."

"Then which path should I choose? Who asked this question? It's too lax."

"..."

For a time, there were voices of complaints, anxiety, and speculation.

After a while, the exam officially started. Under the instructions of the invigilator, the candidates were prohibited from talking to each other and began to answer questions in their respective seats. The time limit was 30 minutes.

Jiraiya read the last question again. At first he and the candidates thought the same thing, thinking that the question was not rigorous enough and that no matter which of the two paths it was chosen, it would be wrong.

But when he saw the last few words, Jiraiya suddenly realized that Jiang was indeed old and hot, and the trap was hidden here.

"You also discovered it, Jiraiya." Tsunade looked at the candidates who were working hard on the questions, and added: "The last choice is to do the questions. In fact, there is a third way to choose, but this third way Roads tend to be ignored by most people.”

Jiraiya nodded. It seemed that Tsunade thought the same as him. The question stem of the last question only said "What choice would you make?", but there was no hard and fast rule to choose from the two paths provided by the question stem. This also means there is a third way.

And because of human habitual thinking, they tend to only focus on what they see in the question. This is a brain teaser I encountered in my previous life: If a blind man went to a fruit store to buy watermelon, how would he express his feelings to the salesperson? intention.

The answer is simple, the blind man is not mute, he can speak directly with his mouth.

However, most people who answered the question thought of using body language to explain the shape, taste, etc. of the watermelon. This is so-called inertial thinking, which deviates from the key point of the event and is interfered by peripheral external factors.

Thinking about this, Jiraiya couldn't help but sweat for the three students, and he didn't know if Mikoto and the others noticed it.

At this time, judging from the situation of the candidates present, some students seemed to have completed the last question, but they were sweating and trembling slightly. It seemed that most candidates were stumped by the choice of the last question.

I want to get 40 points, but I am also worried that if I answer the question incorrectly and the entire paper will be voided with 0 points, the last question is so tricky. I feel sorry for these students.

......

"Ding--" As the end-of-exam bell rang, the candidates handed in their papers one after another. During this period, some people's faces kept sweating, as if they had not made a decision at the last second.

But the overall situation has been decided and cannot be changed.

After all the examination papers were handed in, all the candidates continued to wait at the venue. Hatake Sakumo ordered people to correct the examination papers immediately on the spot, and the final results were announced.

While waiting, the candidates immediately started their own discussions in small groups with the instructors who were watching.

It was also the legendary "right answer!!", a feeling that Jiraiya felt inexplicably familiar with.

"How is it? Did you answer the last question?" Jiraiya couldn't wait.

Zuo Xiu touched the sweat on his forehead, and his palms were covered with sweat due to excessive anxiety. He hesitated: "Um - Teacher, I really don't know which way to choose, so I can only give up answering, thinking that I will get 0 The points should be stronger.”

Zuo Xiu is a typical person who doesn't know how to make a decision at the last second, but this is also in line with his temperament. Although it is a bit stupid, it is still safe.

"Are you the same as Sakyu?" Naturally, Jiraiya still wanted to hear a different answer.

Mikoto nodded, pouted and said, "I really don't know how to solve the last question, and I don't want to hold everyone back, so I have to give up."

Jiraiya's heart skipped a beat. It seemed that most students still chose to reserve their opinions and not answer even when they were not sure whether they could get it right.

But in this way, there is no advantage in adding up the total points.

"Teacher, I've finished the paper." Minato said, surprising Jiraiya: "Why, how did you solve the third question?"

Minato frowned, his expression a little nervous, because he didn't know whether his answer was correct: "Teacher, I didn't choose any of the paths in the question, but recreated a third path."

"Tell me, what are you writing about?" Jiraiya seemed to see hope.

Minato expressed his thoughts: "Since there is a cliff behind, as a ninja, you should do everything possible to keep yourself alive and at the same time preserve the information. The two choices in the question obviously failed to achieve the goal. On the contrary, if you bring the information If you jump off the cliff, you still have a chance of survival."

"But wouldn't you die if you jumped off the cliff?" Mikoto expressed confusion about this.

Minato showed a wise smile and said: "Mikoto, you forgot, the title did not say what kind of ninja this is. Maybe he can water escape, can use psychic skills, or has the physical skills to climb mountains and cliffs." , a cliff may not be the end of his life."

From the beginning, Minato did not pay attention to the two choices given in the question. Instead, he found another way to find the loopholes in the question.

No, it's not so much a loophole as it is a trap deliberately set by Sakumo, waiting for the candidates to discover it themselves.
