As a companion who would suffer together, Sasuke was also a little anxious.

But he finally chose to believe Naruto.

Because he didn't believe that someone who was better than him would behave so stupidly at such a critical moment.

As brothers in the same class, Sakura knew Naruto far less than Sasuke.

She had had enough.

Since Uzumaki Naruto had no self-awareness, she should just give up.

She stood up and wanted to leave, but at the moment she stood up, her calf seemed to be hit by something.

Sakura lost her strength with just this one blow, and fell back down after just getting up halfway.

"It hurts! Bastard!"

She just wanted to look back to see who attacked her but felt her body go dark again.

Haruno Sakura lost consciousness and lay on the table.

Not long after, the fainted Sakura stood up, then turned back and made an OK gesture in the direction of Naruto.

It's not quite accurate to say that it was Sakura, because she had been possessed by Ino.

After waiting for a minute, Ibiki made sure no one had left and said, "Time's up, so everyone listen carefully..."

"Here it comes! The mysterious tenth question!"

"Lord Evil God, please bless me to pass!"

"Come on, I'll bet my youth on this so-called tenth question, I'll definitely pass it!"

The candidates had different thoughts, some were terrified, some were expectant, and some prayed to the gods they believed in. No matter what, they had no room for regret.

Whether they would be promoted to a Chunin or a young model in a club, or would live a life of eating bran and vegetables as a Genin, it all depended on this next question.

In the expectation of everyone, Morino Ibiki's serious face suddenly smiled.

"Everyone... Congratulations on passing."

"Huh!?"

Everyone looked surprised.

"He said we passed? What does that mean?"

"Is this some teacher's bad taste? He wants to wait for us to show a happy look and then do something else?"

"That might be it! The teacher with a weird look on his face must be playing tricks on us!"

Some people couldn't stop talking about it.

Ibiki Morino was furious when he heard someone say that he looked weird.

"Be quiet, you idiots!"

Ibiki Morino interrupted everyone's discussion with a roar.

"Listen to me, you have passed. There is no conspiracy theory."

"Then... what about the tenth question you have been thinking about for so long?"

"There is no tenth question at all, or the tenth question is the one I asked you to choose whether to leave. From the beginning to now, I have put psychological pressure on you more than once, but you have not chosen to give up. You believe in your own abilities while also believing in the abilities of your teammates, which is crucial when carrying out tasks. Because teammates who cannot trust each other cannot trust each other, and if they have concerns, they cannot exert their strength. If they cannot exert their strength, the tasks that could have been successful will become impossible to complete. Above, this is the reason why you passed." (This is different from the original. The original test seems to test whether you have the courage to sacrifice for your teammates.)

Hearing this, many people breathed a sigh of relief.

In any case, this first level has finally been passed.

"But!"

Before everyone could be happy for long, Ibiki suddenly made a turn.

"I want to criticize some of you by name! Although he successfully answered the tenth question, his attitude towards the exam was disappointing. What are you taking part in? An exam? No! For ninjas, all actions are missions! If it is a mission, you must do your best to complete it! I will not allow any of you to slack off!"

As soon as he said this, everyone knew who he was talking about.

The golden hedgehog who slept soundly at the beginning and woke up only ten minutes before the end of the exam.

"So that guy is still here, I thought he had left long ago."

"Who said that? Although that guy started answering questions in the last fifteen minutes, I saw that he only wrote the simplest addition and subtraction questions at most. The rest were blank. If it were me, I would have run away long ago. How could I dare to stay here and answer the tenth question."

"Well, I can only say that he is lucky. But I really sympathize with his teammates."

Ibiki: "Uzumaki Naruto! Although you passed the exam, you must correct your attitude! With your lazy look, I don't understand why the people in the ninja school let you wear a ninja forehead protector! You..."

"Examiner." Naruto interrupted Ibiki, "I want to ask you a question."

Ibiki hated being interrupted by others. His face was gloomy and he finally suppressed his anger.

"Go ahead, trash."

"Excuse me, how long does it take you to crush an ant?"

Ibiki's forehead was bulging with veins, and he felt that he was being fooled..

"You..."

"It doesn't take a second to crush an ant, right? For me, this exam... no, in your words, the content of this task is to let me crush an ant."

The onlookers were puzzled.

"What does he mean?"

"It means that this exam is very simple and he can complete it with just a little effort."

"Fuck, this kid is so bold."

Naruto didn't waste any more words.

He threw the test paper in front of him to Ibiki.

Ibiki caught the test paper.

"Does it mean that you have completed all the questions? How shameless! Even some senior ninjas have to spend some effort to complete these various questions. How can you, a junior ninja who has graduated for less than half a year, be qualified to say that?"

"Let me see what you have done after sleeping for more than an hour."

Ibiki began to mark the papers.

Two minutes later.

Ibiki's face trembled.

Naruto smiled: "Right. An ant that can be crushed to death in just one second is not worth my efforts. To put it bluntly, this simple task assigned by the leader is not worthy of my strength. This is what it means to kill a chicken with a butcher knife."

Morino Ibiki was the one who set the questions. Uzumaki Naruto was mocking his incompetence, but he had nothing to say.

Because Uzumaki Naruto completed it perfectly, and it took less than fifteen minutes.

"Disband! The second game will be held in three days. At eight o'clock in the morning three days later, you will gather at the Konoha Death Forest Examination Hall. There will be no examiner to introduce the next exam content to you."

After that, the chief examiner left.

Naruto left with Sasuke and Ino.

Many people looked at Naruto's back and began to talk.

"Looking at the look of that devilish examiner, that kid seems to have answered well."

"Indeed, it seems that we underestimated him."

"He finished all the questions in just over ten minutes. This guy's theoretical knowledge is quite good. If there is a chance, I would like to compete with him to see if his practical knowledge can be as good as his theory."

Yakushi Kabuto came to the podium and picked up Naruto's paper that Ibiki had placed on the podium.

He pushed his glasses and raised the corners of his mouth.

"This guy... is a bit interesting."

...

It was night.

Ino and Naruto walked on the riverside path.

They took a walk after dinner.

Although it was not the first time to walk with Naruto, Ino's face would still blush.

"Naruto, it seems that we haven't walked together for some time."

"Yeah. After becoming a Genin, I have been carrying out missions every day. It is indeed a bit busy."

Speaking of the mission, Ino opened up the conversation. She told Naruto what she saw and heard during the mission.

Ino's tasks were similar to Naruto's, looking for cats and dogs, picking fruits and digging wild vegetables.

They were all very tedious little things.

Although trivial, Naruto did not dislike it.

He listened to Ino's words quietly.

No matter how trivial the words were, they were more interesting than Naruto's conversation with his shadow clone.

Forty minutes later.

The sky was getting darker and darker, and the bright full moon was covered by dark clouds.

It seemed to be raining.

Naruto: "Let's go back."

"Yeah."

Although Ino wanted to stay with Naruto for a while, it was time to go home.

Before parting, Ino said: "Naruto, can I ask you a question?"

"Ask."

"Why do you know that you can pass the level by handing in a blank paper?"

Naruto smiled slightly: "I can't tell you."

"Why?"

"People with secrets are more interesting, aren't they?"

The dark clouds covering the moon in the sky were blown away by the wind.

The moonlight scattered and illuminated Naruto's fair face.

The pair of blue glasses was so bright and clear.

For some reason, Ino felt her heart beat more violently.

Boo.

Ino suddenly stood on tiptoe and kissed Naruto on the face.

Then she hurried away.

Naruto was stunned for a moment and touched the place where he was kissed.

"The little girl seems to have grown up."

Naruto thought, and a smile appeared on his face unconsciously.
