Chapter 182 Welcome to the Hunger Games!
???

What is this? !

Deidara was completely confused when he saw the question!
What are the four fundamental forces? What is the electromagnetic force?
I know every word, but why can't I recognize them when they are put together?!
He looked around and saw that except for the candidates from Konoha, almost all the candidates from other villages were complaining and had sad faces.

Stupid fruit on a stupid tree.

You and me under the confused tree!

What kind of questions are these!!!
Is it possible that Konoha's Ninja School teaches this kind of thing in class? ?
Shouldn't ninja schools teach how to kill? How to kill secretly! How to kill most effectively? !
Is it possible that Konoha School teaches this kind of thing every day?
Is this still a ninja school?

Shady!

It must be something shady!

In order to conceal the secret of suppressing the scores of these candidates from other villages!
Deidara looked at Naruto, Sasuke and the other Konoha candidates writing furiously in the examination room, feeling indignant and all kinds of ugly thoughts popping up in his mind.

He quietly put his right hand under the desk, chewed back and forth with his palm full of sharp teeth, and soon spit out a mouse made of clay.

"Humph! So what if you can't do it? Just wait and see how I copy your answers!"

The clay mouse nimbly dived into the ground and swooshed towards Naruto's position.

Deidara was ecstatic. As long as he controlled the mouse, he could secretly peek at other people's answers. It would be easy to get a full score in the exam.

So what if there is a shady deal?
Watch me break through with my strength!

Whoosh!
A long chakra needle surrounded by lightning arcs shot out and pierced the clay mouse accurately, nailing it to the ground.

"Any plagiarism is prohibited. If you do it again, you will be disqualified from the exam!"

Leaning against the back of the chair on the podium, Kakashi narrowed his eyes slightly, looking listless.

The voice was not loud, but it revealed an unquestionable sharpness that made Deidara break out in a cold sweat.

His clay mouse was shot dead!

Lightning Release restrains Earth Release, and Kakashi's strength crushes him, leaving him with no power to resist!
"Damn it! My method was so covert, how could it be discovered so easily!"

Deidara was very depressed. The cheating method he came up with with great difficulty was completely defeated!
Kakashi, who seemed half asleep in the chair on the podium, sneered in his heart. Although he looked nonchalant, the bionic eye in his left eye was working all the time, scanning the examination room without blind spots.

The bionic eye has terrifying reconnaissance capabilities, with almost no blind spots, and perfectly covers the entire examination room. Deidara's every move is caught in his eyes.

Kakashi sneered and suddenly understood why Namikaze Mirai asked him to be the invigilator. The ability of the bionic eye was perfect for invigilation.

"Damn it, how is this cheating?"

"Isn't cheating in the Chunin Exam one of the areas of examination?"

The remaining candidates were indignant, but Kakashi's move instantly shattered their ideas of cheating. Many candidates who were planning to cheat were shaking with anger.

How can I take the exam?
Helpless, I could only look at the test paper again.

"Humph! I don't believe you can't answer any of the remaining questions!"

Ninja Xiaojiao throws a kunai from a cliff 30 meters high, and attacks a ninja 800 meters away. The initial velocity of the kunai is 20 meters per second. Ignoring wind speed and air resistance, the earth's gravitational acceleration is set to 10. Question: Can this ninja use the kunai to successfully attack the ninja 800 meters away?
Throwing a kunai to launch a sneak attack from 800 meters away???

Who is so boring! ?

There's something wrong with your brain!
Deidara is almost driven crazy by the questions!
Konoha is too scary, I want to go back to the Iwagakure Village.

Glancing around, he saw the Konoha ninjas still writing furiously without a pause, their eyes filled with excitement.

Easy! So easy!

Sasuke answered the previous questions easily. It was no difficulty for him to deal with these questions.

Arrogant Naruto, wait and see how I surpass you this time!
Sasuke thought he had done well in the exam and was in a very good mood. He soon came to the last big question.

Composition topic: Please write about a person or an event that you are most proud of. The title is self-written and the requirement is no less than 800 words.

"Proud?" Sasuke scratched his head, racking his brains to think hard.

Naruto, who was sitting next to him, also answered the last question.

"Essay question? I'm good at this!"

Almost without thinking, Naruto confidently wrote the title of the composition: My Uncle Hokage!

My uncle is the Fifth Hokage of Konoha. He has a gentle personality and is kind to others. People who know him call him the Great Good Man of Konoha.

My uncle Hokage hates violence and prefers to win people over with virtue. Ninjas from other villages all admire his virtues...

Uncle, he...

Hundreds of words came out in a fluent and elegant manner, as if Naruto was possessed by a god. There was no hesitation at all, and he easily filled up half of the test paper.

"What did this guy Naruto write? He wrote so much so quickly?"

Sasuke looked surprised.

He had been thinking about it for a long time. Did Naruto not need any ideas at all? He just started writing after seeing the title?
"No! I can't let him surpass me."

Sasuke began to write down the title of his composition: My Clan Leader Father
My father is the head of the Uchiha clan...

Sasuke caught up and wrote about the "touching" moments between him and his father...

"These two guys."

Kakashi on the podium chuckled and shook his head.

With the bionic eye, he could easily see the contents of the two people's test papers.

An uncle who is the Hokage, and a father who is the clan leader.

Is this going to start a competition for the strongest connections?
However, in terms of connections, no ninja present could compare to Naruto. His uncle was the Hokage, his father was also a Hokage, and most importantly, all of his invigilators were his father's students.

The background is so scary!
Gaara was secretly looking at Naruto at the back of the classroom. He kept in mind Ye Cang's teachings and spent most of the exam observing Naruto.

Thinking about how to hug Naruto's thighs.

Hold on to Naruto's thighs, and you will never have to worry about food and drink in this life.

Ding ding ding! ! !
Two hours flew by.

As the complaints of candidates from other villages rose one after another, Kakashi gave the order to collect the papers impartially.

"All candidates stop writing. If you continue answering questions, you will be given zero marks!"

Deidara, who was tortured by the entire exam and whose morale was broken, burst into tears when he heard the piercing exam bell.

"It's too difficult! It's too difficult!"

"I can't do this question! I can't do it!!"

His cries were also the thoughts of most of the candidates from other villages. For a while, cries were heard everywhere, and similar sounds were heard continuously.

……

Shortly after the exam, the first round of test papers for the Chunin Exam were circulated, causing a stir in the ninja world.

"Oh my god! Can this kind of question really be solved?"

"What is Konoha doing! I can't even understand the questions, let alone the answers."

"There must be something fishy going on! Konoha is willing to sacrifice its reputation just to win!"

Among the many sarcastic and critical voices, there were a few ninjas who seemed to have discovered something and expressed their dissenting opinions.

"It doesn't seem that simple. The guy from Konoha wouldn't do such a boring thing as making things difficult for me, right?"

"I also think that the adult must have his reasons for doing this. This test paper must be special!"

Many of Namikaze Mirai's fanatical fans quickly bought a lot of test papers and studied them day and night in an attempt to discover the secret!
"Asshole! Are you just trying to make things difficult for the Hidden Cloud Village by asking this kind of question?"

Ai, who was on his way to Konoha, took the Konoha circulation test paper and threw it to the ground.

As everyone knows, the people of the Hidden Cloud Village are all reckless and will never use their brains if they can just take action!
Aren't you, Konoha, targeting my Hidden Cloud Village by giving such difficult questions?

The result was just as he expected. Almost all the ninjas sent by the Hidden Cloud Village to take the exam handed in blank papers.

"Hmph, the second round is a practical test, and this is where the Hidden Cloud Village has the advantage!" If you can't use your brain, then use force.

Ai sneered.

He sent out many Genin who were not recorded in the list of Chunin, and secretly demoted them to Genin, with the purpose of attacking Konoha from a lower dimensional perspective.

This time, we must make up for the loss we suffered in Konoha before!

If you calculate carefully, the shadows from those villages should be arriving in Konoha soon, right?
As the five major ninja villages jointly participated in the Chunin Exam, the Raikage, Ai, Tsuchikage, Mizukage and others were all invited to Konoha to watch the ceremony.

Ai originally didn't want to go.

But then he thought that even Ōnoki had gone, so if he didn't go, wouldn't it prove that he was not as brave as Ōnoki?

Besides, all four Kages are here this time, um... excluding that bitch Ye Cang, all three Kages are here.

Three against two, the advantage is mine!

Ai sneered even more deeply. This time the Chunin Exam will be broadcast live in its entirety. The arrogance of Konoha must be suppressed.

……

Three days later, the location of the second examination was determined and the candidates rushed to the examination room.

At the top seats, five Kages including Ai, Ōnoki and Yagura sat in a row, watching the examinees' every move through the giant screen opposite them.

"Everyone, welcome to Konoha to take part in the triennial Chunin Exams. I am your examiner, Jiraiya!"

Jiraiya, with oil paint on his cheeks and a forehead protector with oil characters on it, held the microphone tightly, and his voice spread out through the microphone.

"Jiraiya? Jiraiya, one of the three ninjas? I didn't expect that the examiner for the second round would be him?"

"He's back in Konoha? So, all the Sannin are in Konoha now?"

The moment Jiraiya appeared, he immediately attracted the attention of a large number of ninjas. Many ninjas showed surprised expressions and were stunned by Jiraiya's appearance.

"Jiraiya actually returned to the village? What is the intelligence department of the Hidden Cloud Village doing? They didn't even discover such important information!"

Ai gritted his teeth, this is not good news!

Jiraiya returned to the village, all three ninjas returned to Konoha, and Konoha's strength increased again.

From his point of view, it would be best if Jiraiya would never leave the village and wander outside until he died.

Oonoki also looked gloomy.

Konoha used the Chunin Exam to show off its muscles to them.

With the three ninjas gathered together, Konoha would be absolutely terrifying.

"This guy Jiraiya is quite photogenic!"

On the other side of the venue, Tsunade, who was holding a huge soft object in her arms, looked at Jiraiya on the big screen with a half-smile.

"Maybe he himself hasn't realized that he has a talent for being a host!"

A hoarse voice with a slight chuckle sounded, and Orochimaru's light golden vertical pupils revealed praise.

His frivolous personality, funny looks, and dirty jokes that pop up from time to time all give him an advantage in becoming the abbot.

Tsunade glanced at him and said with a little surprise: "Orochimaru, it's rare that you are not hiding in the laboratory. It seems that you are not only talented in being a host, but also in attracting you."

"Hehe..." Facing Tsunade's teasing, Orochimaru just chuckled, "Don't keep looking at me with the eyes of the past. I am no longer the person I used to be."

After returning to Konoha and being influenced by Namikaze Mirai, Orochimaru found faith in science and gradually shed the gloomy aura of the past.

In terms of appearance and temperament, she is more in line with Boruto's Snake Aunt during the transformation period.

"That kid in the future is really good. I don't know how he has charmed you so much."

Tsunade grumbled quietly.

She had never imagined that Orochimaru would have the transformation he has today.

But this is something worth celebrating.

On the other side, Jiraiya, surrounded by numerous cameras and sweating profusely while holding the microphone, had no time to care about the gazes of Orochimaru and the others.

The palm holding the microphone was already sweaty.

Fine beads of sweat also oozed out of his forehead.

Damn it, someone come save me!
Being broadcast live by so many cameras made him feel like he was being stripped naked!

If I had known I shouldn't have looked for Namikaze Mirai after returning to the village, why would I have gotten a damn Chunin Exam host!

He is just a crappy novelist, why would he want to cross over into another field?

But it was too late to back down, and Jiraiya had no choice but to continue broadcasting.

"Everyone, as you can see, below is the location of the second test of this Chunin Exam."

As the camera moved down, the candidate's position appeared on the screen and there was an immediate burst of boos.

"What? Just a piece of flat land? Is Konoha so poor? Why would you choose such a shabby place to start?"

In an instant, voices of doubt, booing, and ridicule were heard, and some people even threw cans and waste paper towards the big screen.

The scene that appeared on the screen was a group of examinees standing on the flat ground at a loss. To call it a flat ground is already a compliment. To be precise, it should be a wasteland where not a single weed grows.

"Huh! Is this the level of Konoha? One of the five great ninja villages has built a wasteland to hold the Chunin Exam?"

"Haha, it seems that Konoha is just like this."

In the Five Kage viewing stand, Ai and Ōnoki sang the same tune and made sarcastic remarks.

Konoha is their biggest enemy, and they will certainly not let go of any opportunity to taunt Konoha.

This assessment will be broadcast live in the ninja world, and it would be great to take advantage of this opportunity to weaken Konoha's international reputation.

Jiraiya on the big screen seemed to have received some notification. He restrained his expression and explained to the camera.

"Everyone, I'm wrong. The test location is over there."

Following the direction his finger was pointing, the camera turned and a dense forest suddenly emerged.

"forest???"

"Using a forest as the test location isn't considered luxurious, is it? What is Konoha thinking?"

The audience, who were already mocking the forest, became even more mocking after seeing it.

Could it be that Konoha has become a mere shell, with even a test location being so difficult to find?
Just as they were showing disdain, a deafening rumbling sound suddenly rang out, and the whole earth shook violently.

"earthquake??"

The ninjas watching the ceremony were shocked. Why was the ground shaking for no reason?

And judging from the location of the vibration, it seems that it is not coming from here, but from far away.

"Look over there!"

I don't know which ninja spoke first, but his voice was trembling a little.

The others looked over and were stunned for a moment!

quiet!
Deathly silence!

Be it Ai who was mocking him the last second, or Ohnoki beside him, all of them were now frozen in place like sculptures, with their Adam's apples moving.

Then, amid a deafening roar, a huge, endless metal maze rose from under the forest, and as the earth shook, it almost covered the entire forest.

Jiraiya, who was the host, cleared his throat.

"The name of the second test is..."

"Hungry Games!"
