The sleepiness caused by the test paper was really overwhelming. Takeshi started purring slightly after falling asleep.
Fortunately, this was a ninja examination room and everyone was aiming to be a Chunin, so this little noise was nothing to pay attention to.
However, as someone giving the test, Rin couldn't tolerate it and pushed the little kitten. Then, he stopped purring. Rin concentrated on answering the paper.
The examiner above took a look at her while patrolling, and was slightly surprised. He originally thought that the girl who brought a ninja cat would definitely use the cat to cheat.
This method was common in the examination room, and they had never carried out targeted attacks on a certain clans by preventing companion ninja beasts from participating alongside.
It turned out that this girl is a actually studious, and she brought this cat to sleep beside her...
The middle-aged ninja admired her in his heart, and then took the opportunity to glance around to room towards the Uchiha member of the same team.
Well, it hasn't been long since his Sharingan was activated, so can't expect high proficiency from him.. But he seems to be doing well, after looking at Obito for couple seconds, the examiner looked at Guy and became confused, 'What's the matter with this guy? He obviously doesn't know what to do but he is writing all by himself.'
If he doesn't quickly copy like he was supposed to, how does he expect to pass... 'Why is he such a fool! ' Examiner frowned.
He felt even more frustrated after looking at the last member of their team. After observing for a while, He found that this guy was actually quite honest. He never turned his head or even glanced around from the corner of his eye.
'It's sad, how could Konoha produce such an honest ninja.' The middle-aged ninja sighed.
It will be quite difficult for him. Such a earnest and honest ninja, and it seems that the preparation to promote cheating for him were all made in vain, he will definitely not be able to pass them on his own, but if he takes a closer look, the examiner will recognize the other person's identity.
Maito Duy's son. Maito Duy is quite a unique genin. He has been a Genin for more than 20 years, and he only does simple missions often D-rank and in rare cases C-Rank, so the Chunin has vague impression of him.
Of course, this impression is not a good one. 'Oh, after all, his child has some talent, so let's help him.' The examiner felt sympathy.
Maito Duy didn't have the slightest talent for ninjutsu, but Maito Guy had a little bit of talent, so he must be good enough to be allowed to participate in this Chunin examination. If examiner could, he would help.
With such a earnest and honest character... He shook his head gently. Being a ninja who is too honest will suffer losses. Of course, if you are strong enough to be tricked by someone and still fight back, even further defeat the opponent, then there will be no problem.
Guy wrote a few questions at first, but the more he read, the more panicked he became, and the more he panicked, the more he felt the urge to go to pee... He did not dare to say that he wanted to go to the pee, for fear of being regarded as cheating. So Guy endured it until his face turned pale.
"Child, are you feeling unwell? Do you want to see a medical ninja for a checkup?" Finally, another examiner who was patrolling passed by and couldn't help but be concerned.
She was not from Konoha, but the ninja of Sunagakure Village who is also examiner. Seeing Guy's pale face, she thought something bad happened to the child's health.
"No, I'm alright!" Guy gritted his teeth. 'I can still bear it!'
"Just say it if you feel unwell."
"Yes i will, thank you ma'am." Guy replied.
The female ninja from Sunagakure Village looked at the Konoha examiner walking around in the classroom strangely, thinking that the Konoha-nin trying to avoid obvious methods of helping his village ninjas, so as not create a nuisance. She also noticed Guy and Obito don't want to cheat. There are still a few honest ninjas in Konoha.
Takeshi was awakened by the sound and glanced up... the orange-haired Sunagakure beauty, Pakura of Scorch Release? A rare beauty of Sand Hidden Village! It's a pity that Pakura was backstabbed later, and the beauty was turned into a swiss cheese by Kunais.
But that's her story, he is Konoha's ninja cat, he has to sit with poise and composure. Rin glanced at him and thought Takeshi was just curious about new woman. Cats are always more curious anyways.
Takeshi followed Pakura with his eyes, and then inadvertently met a pair of gentle yet crazy eyes. Sasori of the red sand.
'I can't afford to offend him. Wonder how many points he would give though?' Takeshi thought before he turned around and laid down to continue sleeping, so as not to attract the attention of the examiner.
After a while, Pakura turned around and went out from the main door. At this time, most of the ninjas had put down their pens, and only a few were still writing furiously, including Guy answering questions while controlling his bladder.
After finally holding on until the end of the exam, Guy rushed out without even looking at the test paper. 'Atleast his physical skills are quite good... ' The Konoha examiner sighed inwardly, and then paid attention to the paper. Well, it's quite full, so I can give you some points since he wrote something.
It won't be a problem to make arrangements to get him passed when the time comes. Most of the people who came to take the Chunin exam this year was to reduce risk of losing their own village's shinobi's while reducing the competition among villages.
After surviving the first round, a large number of "Genin" would be eliminated in the second round. After the first round, Examiners would be busy marking papers. Guy after coming out from washroom, he sat in a corner in a daze. He was too worried and afraid to return to the examination room.
After the test, he realized that he was surrounded by big guys... If he had discovered it earlier and copied the papers around him, he would have passed with no doubt. 'I shouldn't have written my own answers!'
"Guy, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable? Let me see..." Rin immediately looked for Guy after leaving the room, thinking that he had a bad stomach from breakfast in the morning.
Takeshi glanced at him, and then said mercilessly: "When he came out from washroom, he realized that everyone was copying and he had good opportunity to do it himself, right? hahaha~"
"I really didn't think this through properly." Guy's was saddened by this, and he burst into tears.
"It's okay, it's okay. If you can't do it this year, come back next year. It's okay, Guy." Rin comforted him gently.
At this time, Obito rushed out and said happily: "Rin, I used the Sharingan to copy... Uh, what's wrong with Guy?"
"Uuh" Guy cried sadly, and the conversation ended with him. If only he had realized that he was surrounded by big guys, he could easily use them as cover to copy couple answers atleast, he was filled with regret.
But then he thought about it. 'I am still young and can come again next year. Besides, he is never one to shy away from failure and hard work. ''
"Guy, right..."
"But Rin, you are right. I can come again next year. I can prepare well for the exam for rest of this year. I will definitely be able to do it next year! Yosh!, my Youth is burning!" Guy, who was howling and crying just now suddenly ignited his Youthful spirit at this moment, made the two companions dumbfounded, and the other ninjas who were unaware felt that this child had something wrong with his head.
Obito was stunned for a moment, then he clenched his fists and shouted: "That's right, keep your Youth burning, and you will be able to pass next year for sure!"
The people around him heard the sound, looked over, and then fell into silence. This is the first time they saw someone who can be so high-spirited even after failing.
These two are worthy of being in same team, but it's a pity for this cute little girl. And for the little black cat... While Guy excitedly shouted nonsense such as "fighting spirit", "youth", and "burning", Takeshi had already jumped off Rin's shoulder and hid behind to quietly watch.
He can just watch the performances of the unique beasts of Konoha, but if he stands beside them, he may be regarded as their comrade, so it is better to spy on them secretly.
He jumped into the bushes outside. Through the gap, he saw a red-haired boy standing behind the bushes, looking at Uchiha Obito quietly, his eyes full of desire and greed.
'It's a Sasori again, should i try something with him ?...forget it, let's just keep calm...' Takeshi was thinking this, but he couldn't help but sneak forward. Sasori was looking intently, and suddenly lowered his head, and saw a pair of bright red eyes in the grass, as well as the jet black hair...
In an instant, he couldn't help but take a step back in fear. Sasori's expression quickly returned to indifferent, then he lowered his head and saw the appearance of a cat, then lowered his body and stared at the little black cat for couple minutes. What the boy hates most in his life is someone secretly spying on him and scaring him!
A child and a cat stared at each other. Takeshi was abit timid in his heart, but he couldn't back down at this moment, lest Sasori notice a weakness to pounce on. After a few seconds, Sasori smiled slightly and said, "The little kitten from Konoha is quite interesting, but it's a pity..."
It were too small, and couldn't do much. If he turns it into a puppet, there is not much to work with. He stood up and left with indifferent eyes. Takeshi's heartbeat increased, and he secretly regretted—why was he so stupid ? why did he come out of hiding?
But after looking at the panel and discovering the extra five hundred points, he was instantly relieved. With so many points, it's okay to take some risks for such rewards.
