Naruto: Space-Time Lord

Chapter 22 - Chuunin Exams First Stage (4)

''Pay attention because I won't explain the rules a second time. First rule: The written test will be made as a system of point reproduction. Everyone will start with 10 points and for every wrong question, one point will be removed.

Second rule: The team final result will be according to the three team members results.

Third Rule: The ninjas at the side will be carefully looking and detecting if someone is cheating, for each time they catch someone, you will lose 2 points in total, if they detect you five times, your whole team is out. This is the rules, now, begin'' Ibiki Morino said with his serious face but one could notice a small smile in his face, as if he is mocking them.

The various teams such as Team Gaara smiled as they already knew the true purpose of this stage, Sakura and Sasuke thought 'This exam... we will pass it easily' while Naruto was lazily looking at the paper in front of him when a voice suddenly called him ''N-Naruto-kun, you can answer it? I-If you can't, I don't mind showing you mine''

Naruto smiled a bit and had the urge to pat her head but stopped himself as they are in the middle of the exam and said ''No worry, Hinata, this is too easy for a great and handsome ninja like me'' of course, bragging isn't what he was doing, he heard that being confident is a good thing, at least when it comes to appearence, his currentone is indeed great, anyway, it doesn't means that being confident against a enemy is good, it can lead to your death.

Hinata nodded while blushing a bit 'Um... Naruto-kun is right, there's no way someone cool as him can't answer these things, how fool of you, Hinata, doubting him!' she thought to herself and activated her Byakugan to look for answers, she also noticed the true purpose of this exam.

While Naruto can indeed answer this easily, no, he can answer it even with his eyes closed but if he answer it all correctly, unwanted attention will be drawn upon him, he looked at Ibiki, that sensed his gaze, smiling, Naruto showed the blank paper without making the other competitors notice it.

'This brat... to think that he understood that not answering will make his result still be 10 points, the others are so concentrated thinking that they must answer while using their ways to get information that none of them noticed this, but this brat noticed it, he even made me see the blank paper while blocking others vision, he's not only intelligent but also a little monster.. ' Ibiki thought in his mind and began to look at the boy information 'Oh? He's Naruto Uzumaki, the Jinchuuriki and that man son? Well, it's to expect that a monster will only give birth to another monster'

While this is indeed confidential information, Ibiki was known for his great loyalty and that even after being tortured like cuts through his head and face multiple times, no information came out of his mind and as a member of the Torture and Interrogation Force, Hiruzen trusted him enough to tell about Naruto.

Time was passing quickly and Naruto of course was with a bored expression in his face but it soon disappeared as Ibiki began to talk ''Now, now... the time is up and the last question will soon be revealed, however, let's talk about something first... If you accept to do the tenth question and answer it wrongly, not only you will be failed but will be unable to do the Chuunin Exams... forever, think wisely... if you give up now, it's possible to join the next Chuunin Exam!'' Ibiki then looked at the participants, some of them had conflicted face before one gave up and another one gave up too, after some time passed, no one gave up anymore.

Sakura, Sasuke and Naruto also had a relaxed expression on their faces, nodding satisfied that not that many teams gave up, Ibiki then said ''Now, the last question comes... for those that didn't gave up and stayed here, I just ahve one thing to say... you all passed!''

Everyone except Naruto immediately got confused, wasn't it a question? Why he suddenly said that they passed? Ibiki looked at them and smirked before saying ''It was a trap, if you gave up, you wouldn't be fit to be a shinobi at all'' he then removed his headband, showing his head covered with scars, shocking the participants ''Information is power and can be the greatest tool in a battle, the way to obtain it may define if you can win or lose and there will be times where you will need to risk your life to get it''

Even the cruel dude, Gaara, looked quite shocked by this, he saw some people that were tortured but most of them didn't had scars near this guy, if he revealed the information, he would be dead because it would be the same as betray the village, which means that he was tortured and managed to escape without revealing one, the loyalty of this guy don't even need to be questioned, one could already see this man determination is unbreakable.

Ibiki then said something to one of the ninjas that were checking if there was someone cheating, the ninja went out and after approximately a minute, he returned but at his side was a woman.
