Civilians in Konoha, forging their own paths

Sarutobi Hiruzen held a welcoming dinner for the Third Mizukage at the Sarutobi clan. Although it was held at the Sarutobi clan, those attending the dinner were all high-ranking officials of Konoha!

In addition to the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, several senior executives in charge of all matters related to the Joint Chunin Exams, including Utane Koharu, Mito Kado En, Hatake Sakumo, and Orochimaru, all attended, but Danzo Shimura did not show up.

This dinner was just a welcoming dinner. After all, it was the first time that the Kage from other villages came to Konoha, so etiquette had to be in place!

However, at the dinner, the two Kages decided to hold a summit meeting between the two villages after the joint Chunin Exam!

After the dinner, Dihuangwan, Biwa Juzo and the other two returned to their residence until the day when the Chunin Exam officially began!

The eighteen people from Kirigakure who took part in the joint Chunin Exam basically all went to visit Konoha Village to experience the customs and culture of Konoha, and at the same time, collect some information about their competitors!

The day before the Chunin Exam, Dihuangwan finally learned the format and content of the Joint Chunin Exam!

This Chunin Exam is very similar to the Chunin Exam that Naruto took part in in the anime!

The first game is a written test, the second game is a competition for the two scrolls of heaven and earth in the Konoha Death Forest, the third game is a promotion match in the central tower of the Death Forest, and the fourth game is the final match in the Konoha Arena!

When Dihuangwan participated in the Chunin Exam, there were only two rounds: the Death Forest Survival Round and the Central Tower Finals!

There are too many ninjas participating in the Joint Chunin Exam this time, so Konoha has to add more rounds to eliminate more candidates!

In addition to the eighteen people from Kirigakure, the Kusagakure Village, Amegakure Village, Takigakure Village, and Uzushio Village each have six people, that is, a total of twenty-four people from the small ninja villages. Konoha has the largest number of reference ninjas, a total of forty-eight people!

In other words, the number of candidates for this joint Chunin exam is ninety!

Under the attention of everyone, the Joint Chunin Exam is finally about to begin!

The first written test will be held at Konoha Ninja School! For this test, Konoha Ninja School has specially given a day off to leave a gap!

The ninety candidates taking the exam were gathered in a very large classroom. There were two invigilators in each row on both sides of the classroom. The examiner of the first written test was actually Dihuangwan's teacher when he studied in the Ninja School, Sarutobi Kiyomi!

Now, Sarutobi Kiyotsu is already the vice-principal of Konoha Ninja School!

The candidates entered the venue one after another, and the seats of Mizunotsuki Hiroha and others were separated. Mizunotsuki Hiroha was in the seventh row, Megure Juichi was in the second row, Ringo Koizumi was in the fifth row, Namikaze Minato was in the sixth row, and his two teammates, one was in the first row and the other in the ninth row!

Ten minutes before the exam started, Sarutobi Kiyomi explained the rules of the first written test, "Attention all candidates, no one in your team can get a zero. Otherwise, no matter how high the scores of the other two are, you will all be eliminated!"

"Cheating is allowed during the written test, but if the invigilator finds you cheating more than three times, your entire team will still be eliminated!"

After listening to this, Dihuangwan thought to himself, "It's really similar to the Chunin Exams during the anime era! What a pity, it's not interesting enough!"

Needless to say, Dihuangwan has always been an outstanding graduate of the Konoha Ninja School, so a mere written test is no problem for him. After all, his two partners, Ringo Koizumi and Megure Juichi, were carefully selected by the Mizunotsuki clan and have a solid foundation. Even if they cannot get high scores in the written test, it is impossible for them to get zero points!

So for the Dihuang Wan team, this first battle was just a formality and there was no difficulty at all!

The exam officially began and the test papers were distributed. Dihuangwan looked at the test questions and found them to be quite difficult. For some ninjas whose foundation was not solid enough, it was basically impossible to score points by answering the questions on their own and they could only rely on cheating!

With Dihuang Wan’s keen eyesight, he felt that the first written test would eliminate one-third of the team!

On the other side, the Third Hokage, the Third Mizukage, the chief examiner Orochimaru, and a group of relevant personnel were in the monitoring room of the Hokage Building, watching the entire written examination process through the surveillance images!

When the exam started, most of the candidates had difficulty writing and had no idea how to answer the questions. Therefore, a few candidates who had been writing furiously in the early stages stood out particularly in front of the monitor!

Among the eye-catching candidates, there are two people, Namikaze Minato and Mizunoe Hiraya!

Namikaze Minato's foundation is also extremely solid. To some extent, even Dihuang Wan cannot compare to him!

The few people who stand out in front of the surveillance camera are also popular among many candidates and become the targets of plagiarism!

Dihuang Wan finished answering all the questions in just half an hour. After observing that Megure Juichi and Ringo Koizumi also answered the questions smoothly, he was completely relieved and a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth!

Because he has already sensed that many plagiarism methods are being used against him, Dihuang Wan decided to play along with them!

Add some fun to participating in the Joint Chunin Exam!

However, he did not intend to go too far. He condensed a strange three-dimensional ice mirror with his hands, which just avoided all the low-level cheating methods in visual effects!

When these people cheat, because of the ice 3D mirror, they can't see the answers at all or can only see fragments of the answers!

As soon as this method was used, Dihuang Wan clearly felt that the attention from all around him decreased a lot, but the malice around him increased a lot!

In front of the monitor, the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen said: "This Kirigakure ninja who uses the ice mirror must be from the Mizunotsuki clan. The first written test is actually mainly to test the candidates' intelligence gathering methods. I didn't expect that he has already used anti-detection methods. He is really a natural ninja!"

The Third Mizukage responded, "This person's name is Mizunotsuki Hyouha, he is a rising star of the Mizunotsuki clan, and he is indeed an outstanding junior. However, intelligence gathering is not just that simple. As far as I know, Konoha has many special intelligence gathering methods, such as the famous Heart Transfer Technique, which is not effective for his visual anti-reconnaissance method!"

"Oh, it seems that Lord Mizukage is very familiar with my Konoha's perception ninjutsu!" Sarutobi Hiruzen said, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking from his tone.

Seeing that the two shadows were somewhat confrontational, everyone pricked up their ears and prepared to watch the show!

"During the Second Ninja World War, Kirigakure suffered a lot from Konoha's perception ninjutsu. Both the Uchiha clan and the Ino-Shika-Chou were important opponents of Kirigakure on the battlefield. However, even though we suffered losses, Kirigakure did not lose to them, but to the might of the little water god! What a pity..." The Third Mizukage did not finish his words.

And these unfinished words were like a knife stabbing Sarutobi Hiruzen and the Konoha high-ranking officials present!

Afterwards, the two filmmakers tacitly understood each other and stopped arguing with each other, but shifted the topic back to the written test.

But Orochimaru seemed a little absent-minded, and no one knew what he was thinking about!

Mizunotsuki Bingyu in the examination room is resting with his eyes closed, expecting something interesting to happen!
