Chapter 35 Cheating Methods

The atmosphere inside the examination room was so heavy it was almost palpable.

Orochimaru flipped open the exam paper and quickly scanned it.

The first challenge: cracking the code.

Tobirama's secret code.

Ha, something left behind by the Second Hokage.

The code uses a difficult-to-understand ancient poem written by Tobirama Senju as a cipher table. By finding the corresponding characters in the poem based on the given row and column numbers, the code can be deciphered.

For Konoha ninjas, this is basically a required course at the ninja academy, and anyone who puts in a little effort should be able to answer it.

Orochimaru's lips curled into a barely perceptible smile.

It seems this question was deliberately designed to give Konoha ninjas an easy win, as if they wanted to establish an advantage for Konoha ninjas in the first round.
interesting.

His gaze continued downwards.

Question 2: Ninja A stands on a tree seven meters high and throws a shuriken at an enemy fifty meters away. Please calculate the initial velocity of the shuriken, ignoring air resistance.

A simple projectile motion model.

Orochimaru quickly calculated the answer in his mind.

The third question concerns the application of Water Release ninjutsu in specific environments, which involves a key formula derivation that requires solving Bernoulli's equation using differential calculus.

The fourth question, in organic chemistry, asked about the compound remaining in water after dissolving an aromatic compound, adding dilute hydrochloric acid and stirring, and then performing a layered extraction with ether.

The difficulty level is way too high!

Seeing this, Orochimaru couldn't help but smile wryly.

Apart from the first question, which was a "benefit" for Konoha, the remaining questions were not designed to be passed at all.

The technology tree in this world is a bit off-track; biotechnology, due to the presence of chakra, has even surpassed that of the previous world in some aspects.

For example, the technique of extracting small lesions can even directly extract viruses, bacteria, and diseased tissue cells from a patient's body.

Simply put, even if someone has cancer, it's just a matter of this one ninja technique...

In some aspects, such as machinery and materials, however, it was only equivalent to the level of his previous life in the late 18th and early 19th centuries.

Moreover, most of these research findings are concentrated among non-ninja groups.

The ninjas have so much time that they can't even train all day long, and their research is mainly focused on the development of ninjutsu and medical ninjutsu.

Are you expecting them to handle these fundamental theories?

That's simply unbelievable, so besides him, probably no one else could answer it.

With this in mind, Orochimaru did not rush to start writing.

Instead, he looked up and observed the reactions of everyone in the examination room with great interest.

As expected, most of the test takers were completely bewildered, scratching their heads and sweating profusely.

Clearly, these questions were like gibberish to them.

However, there are always exceptions.

Orochimaru noticed that five examinees, almost the instant the exam began, buried themselves in their writing, appearing completely at ease.

The five people were seated quite far apart, scattered in different corners of the examination room.

If he wasn't mistaken, these five people were likely specially planted to provide the "standard answers."

Ah, that's really going to great lengths.

Soon, some quick-thinking test takers also realized something was wrong and began to use their own methods.

The Hyuga clan brat had veins bulging on both sides of his temples, clearly having activated his Byakugan, and his gaze frantically scanned the examination room.

The Uchiha clan members made no attempt to hide it; the tomoe in their crimson eyes darted around rapidly, as if afraid others wouldn't know they had activated their Sharingan.

The Nara clan boy silently extended his shadow, which, like a thin snake, connected to the feet of the nearest "information provider," seemingly in this way to sense and imitate the other's writing movements.

The ninjas from other smaller clans also mostly relied on their respective clan's secret techniques, which were diverse and quite impressive.

However, there were two people who truly caught Orochimaru's attention.

One of them is the little red-haired girl from Sand Village who carries a giant puppet on her back.

At this moment, his fingers flew across the paper, and several chakra lines, almost invisible to the naked eye, connected one end to an "information provider" who was writing furiously, and the other end to five Sand Ninja companions beside him.

As the "information provider" wrote, Little Red Hair's fingers trembled slightly, seemingly sensing the vibration frequency and trajectory of the pen tip through chakra threads, and then precisely controlling the arms of his five companions to write the answer in sync.

Multitasking, and with such precision.

This means that this guy can control at least five puppets at the same time to perform fairly complex operations.

A genius indeed.

The other one was a girl in the Kirigakure (Hidden Mist) group.

She formed a mudra with her hands, and a faint mist of water vapor emanated from her body.

Soon, the water vapor condensed into several extremely thin ice mirrors in front of her, which, through clever angle refraction, clearly reflected the contents of an "intelligence provider's" exam paper in the distance.

Their control over chakra is also quite impressive.

And it was even using the Ice Release bloodline limit...

Orochimaru smiled slightly and turned his gaze to Jiraiya on the other side.

The kid was scratching his head in front of the test paper, his face ashen, and sweat pouring down his forehead like rain. He clearly couldn't understand a single question and hadn't realized he needed to cheat.

"Tsk." Tsunade frowned as well. Although she could understand some of it, the complicated calculations and derivations at the end were giving her a headache.

She couldn't think of a good way to cheat at the moment...

Now we can only pin our hopes on Orochimaru...

Thinking of this, Tsunade touched the earring on her ear, wondering what its purpose was.

Just then, Jiraiya seemed to suddenly remember something, and hurriedly pulled out the earring that Orochimaru had given him from his pocket, and awkwardly put it on.

Seeing that the two were ready, Orochimaru also regained his composure.

It seems it's time to get down to business.

A barely perceptible spark of electricity flashed across his fingertips as he silently activated the [Lightning Release Electromagnetic Communication Technique].

This technique was an unexpected byproduct of his previous research on lightning-attribute chakra nature transformation.

He discovered that the lightning simulated by the chakra in this world had very peculiar properties, seemingly retaining only the characteristics of electric current while lacking the properties of magnetism.

Simply put, no matter how much he increases the current output, he cannot effectively generate an observable magnetic field.

Later, he remembered that in the Naruto world, Magnet Release is a special bloodline limit, used by Gaara's family from Sunagakure, as well as the current Third Kazekage, whose name he didn't know. It is a bloodline limit that combines the wind and earth chakra natures.

Thinking about it that way, it makes sense.

If ordinary Lightning Release ninjutsu can easily generate a strong magnetic field, then during the Chunin Exams, when Sasuke's Chidori faced Gaara's sand, the sand should have been interfered with or even suppressed by the magnetic field effect.

But in reality, Gaara's sand did not show any signs of confusion in front of Chidori.

Orochimaru also tried mixing wind and earth chakra. After a long period of preparation and precise control, he was able to generate a weak magnetic field of a specific frequency, but the intensity was low and the consumption was high, so it had little research or practical value.

According to his teacher Hiruzen Sarutobi, if one cultivates chakra nature transformation to its extreme, one can theoretically use bloodline limits or even bloodline elimination.

However, for ordinary ninjas, such an operation is an extremely energy-consuming task.

The reason why bloodline limits are called bloodline limits is because the families of bloodline users have adapted to this change over a long period of time and can instinctively mix different attribute chakras.

Simply put, their physique is more adapted to the use of these special escape techniques, and this physique can be inherited through bloodline inheritance.

In theory, it's similar to Sage Mode; for ninjas without this physical constitution, the difficulty of using it increases exponentially...

However, it would be useful in this situation during the Chunin Exams...

The principle behind this technique is quite simple and straightforward.

It involves generating electromagnetic waves of a specific frequency through chakra.

The earrings he gave to Jiraiya and Tsunade were actually simple artificial cochleas.

The materials used to make it are also very common, mainly very fine copper coils and a few Roche salt crystals.

Roche salts have a piezoelectric effect, which can convert received electromagnetic waves of a specific frequency into weak mechanical vibrations, which are then amplified by the cochlear structure and converted into sound signals that are captured by the human ear.

Although it was a one-way communication, and the communication distance and anti-interference ability were limited, it was more than enough to convey an answer in this situation.

"Hello? Can you hear me?"

Orochimaru's slightly mocking voice clearly reached Jiraiya and Tsunade's ears.

"Whoa!"

Upon hearing Orochimaru's voice, Jiraiya was startled and almost jumped out of his seat, then his face lit up with ecstatic joy.

My savior! Orochimaru is really reliable!
He couldn't answer a single one of these questions that looked like gibberish!
Tsunade also looked surprised.

She frowned slightly and touched the jewelry on her ear.

"Orochimaru? This is... a radio? Aren't communication devices prohibited in the exam room?"

She asked in a low voice through lip movements, but there was no response from the other end of the earpiece.
"Just listen, this is my one-sided communication."

"Time is precious, I'm going to start reading the answers now. Pay attention to the question numbers."

Orochimaru's voice rang out again.

As he spoke, Orochimaru quickly wrote on his test paper while transmitting the answers to the two of them using the [Lightning Release Electromagnetic Communication Technique].

Meanwhile, in the ranks of the Sand Village.

A boy with short black hair and sharp eyes raised an eyebrow slightly.

He keenly sensed an extremely faint and peculiar electromagnetic fluctuation in the air.

"Ok?"

The boy was somewhat surprised.

This intensity of directional electromagnetic waves does not seem to be naturally generated.

In theory, all conventional communication devices should be blocked inside the examination room.

who is it?

He calmly focused his mind and, relying on his special talent for electromagnetic induction, began to trace the source of this fluctuation.

Soon, his gaze settled on Orochimaru, who was calmly and confidently writing his exam paper.

"The ninjas of Konoha...interesting..."

The black-haired boy's lips curled into a meaningful smile.
