Naruto: If I ask you to practice gentle fist, will you drive a Gundam?

"Okay! Now I'll announce the topic of the tenth question!"

Hearing this, all the candidates looked intently at Morino Ibiki on the podium, and everyone was guessing in their hearts what the mysterious tenth question was.

Of course, Ningci, who has read the original novel, already knows that the tenth question is nothing more than a stress test:

Choose to answer or not. If you do not answer, you will be eliminated directly but can take the exam again next year. If you choose to answer but answer incorrectly, you will lose the qualification to be promoted to Chunin forever and will be a Genin for the rest of your life.

This question is actually testing whether the ninja has the determination to overcome all difficulties and complete the task. As a ninja, sometimes you have to make difficult decisions alone.

That was probably why his voice-to-heart technique was interrupted by the opponent, Neji thought. It seemed that Morino Ibiki had already discovered his little trick, and didn't intend to let him communicate with other teammates on this last question.

"But it doesn't matter, I have achieved my goal!"

Neji felt very relaxed. At first he just wanted to use these people to achieve his goal of being promoted to Chunin, but gradually Neji discovered that it actually felt good to help others!

At this moment, a system voice suddenly came into Ningci's mind:

[Congratulations to the host! The hidden mission is completed! The Power of Bonds series of missions has been unlocked! The first completion reward has been issued! ]

"??? What??? What hidden mission?"

Neji asked in surprise and delight, startled by this sudden system.

[Unlocking conditions for the Power of Bonds mission: The host with the blood of the Otsutsuki successfully helps ten people and gains their trust and gratitude.]

After hearing the system's voice, Ningji suddenly realized that it was because of his cheating. Originally, this action was just to establish his own command position, but he didn't expect to have unexpected gains!

[Choose one of three first unlock rewards:]

[100. W tael cash reward]

[1000. general attribute points, redeemable for family development points]

【3. Breakthrough a peak ability or attribute】

Looking at these three mission rewards, Neji pondered:

"The first one is money, but my family's business is doing well now, so we are not short of money."

"The second universal attribute point can be exchanged for family development points. This sounds good. Although I haven't exchanged it before, I can put it aside for now. There is no rush for now."

"Then, there is only this third one left, to break through a peak ability or attribute."

Currently, all of Neji's attribute points are 999, and he is stuck at the peak level of a jonin, unable to break through to the level of Kage. He learned some time ago that in order to break through to the level of Kage, he would have to be promoted to at least a chunin.

The same is true for other ninjutsu skills that want to break through to the Kage level.

The most urgent task for Neji right now is to remove the caged bird curse. In order to remove the curse, he must reach the level of Kage-level mastery of the curse.

After such analysis, the result is very clear.

"I choose the third one! Breakthrough to Shadow-level Curse Mastery!"

As Neji thought about it, the system received the command.

[The mission reward has been issued! The level of mastery of the curse seal has been broken! The current mastery level of the curse seal is: Shadow level! ]

Shadow level, shadow level, shadow level...

These two words kept echoing in Neji's mind.

This is no wonder, because Ningji has waited for this day for too long.

"Haha, this day has finally arrived..."

Without further ado, there is plenty of time to reminisce and look back. The most urgent task now is to see if the damn bird in the cage can be removed.

As Neji continued to manipulate the system, the following text appeared on the system panel:

[The mastery of the curse seal has reached the shadow level. The current curse seal is: Bird in a Cage. All permissions are open. The distance and strength can be freely adjusted, or you can choose to turn it off or on at will! ]

Seeing the words on this panel, Ningji chose to close it without saying a word!

brush!

Suddenly, Neji felt a signal of joy coming from his brain, as if the headache he had suffered for years was completely cured. At the same time, the chakra that was trapped in certain areas of his body was released, and he suddenly felt relaxed.

Even without taking off the forehead protector, Neji could feel that the mark on his forehead that symbolized humiliation had disappeared.

"finally!!!"

Neji couldn't hide his excitement and almost cried.

After a few years of life, Neci has completely integrated into the world of Naruto and the memories of the original Neci. Therefore, he can now completely take on the role of Neci. It is better to say that he is Neci, a brand new Neci.

From this day on, he understood that although Hyuga Neji's name was still the same, the shackles of fate had been completely broken!

From today on, he will live a completely different life instead of the original miserable Ningci!

At the same time, inside the examination room, Morino Ibiki had already announced the topic of the tenth question. Many Genin chose to withdraw from the exam and take it again next year as they could not bear the psychological pressure.

There were also many people among the Twelve Little Strong Men who were shaken in their hearts, and Naruto was one of them.

"Ah... what should I do... I am the man who wants to become Hokage. If I really lose the qualification to be promoted to Chunin and become a Genin for the rest of my life..."

Thinking of this, Naruto's heart was a little broken. He raised his hand tremblingly, but at the same time, the last bit of rationality in his heart instinctively turned to Neji, whom he trusted the most, for help.

"What would happen if it was Neji-sama?"

Naruto slowly raised his hand and looked towards Neci. At this moment, Neci was immersed in the joy of freeing himself from the cage. A relieved and fearless smile appeared on his face, full of beautiful expectations for the future. Such a confident and sunny smile formed a sharp contrast with the depressed expressions of the candidates around him.

This scene deeply pierced Naruto's heart.

"Brother Neji!"

Looking at Neji's confident smile, Naruto's raised hand stopped in mid-air.

Unexpectedly, even facing such a difficult choice, Brother Neji could still smile, which gave Naruto great encouragement.

I am such a coward that I even thought about retreating for a moment!

And now that I have finished all nine questions, wouldn’t it be a shame to give up like this? Wouldn’t it be too unfair to Brother Neji’s efforts?

"Hey, you little brat over there, are you planning on quitting?"

Looking at Naruto's shaking hands, Morino Ibiki asked in a deep voice, with a serious expression as if he was interrogating a criminal.

At this time, Naruto slammed his hand down from the air and said loudly:

"Don't underestimate me! I won't run away from the battlefield! Even if I have to be a Genin for the rest of my life, I will become a Hokage! Who is afraid of who?"

After saying that, he sat back in his seat, but his body was shaking slightly with excitement.

Naruto's words seemed to give all the candidates in the examination room a shot of sedative, instantly relieving everyone's mental exhaustion.

"This is a major decision that will cost you your life. If you want to give up, give up now!"

Ibiki finally confirmed.

"I always keep my word. This is my way of ninja!"

Uzumaki Naruto also said his most classic sentence.

Seeing the examinees' eyes becoming increasingly firm and clear, Ibiki realized that it would be futile to continue wasting time.

"78 people?... A bit more than expected, never mind."

Ibiki Morino exchanged glances with the Chunin examiners on both sides, and finally announced:

"Excellent choice! Then I declare..."

Everyone listened to Ibiki's words silently, guessing various possibilities in their hearts, feeling nervous and excited.

But the next second, Ibiki's words were beyond everyone's expectations:

"Everyone who chose to stay has passed the first exam!"
