A convenience store opened in Naruto

The secret technique of turning the heart has lost its effect, and Ino got what she wanted. She saw Sakura's answer as she wished, and after hurriedly filling out her own test paper, she immediately used the secret technique to "pass" the answer to Choji and Shikamaru.

Just as she was secretly rejoicing that her actions had not been discovered by the invigilators, she also heard Morino Ibiki's words, which made her uneasy.

So I worked so hard to write three test papers, and you tell me that the last question is the key?

So what did I write before? Was it all in vain?

Not only did she think about this problem, but all the candidates who had persisted until here and had not been eliminated had thought about this problem.

There are risks in choosing to answer or not answering. If I don’t answer, I’ve made it to the end. Regardless of whether I’ll get zero points or not, the main thing is that I’m unwilling to accept it.

But if I answer it and don't answer it correctly, I won't be able to take part in the Chunin Exam in the future, and I will be a Genin for the rest of my life. Who can bear this?

Especially those candidates from Konoha, they are really tormented. If they don't answer, they will be looked down upon. It's already the last resort, but you choose to give up. It's unacceptable no matter how you look at it, especially since they are ninjas.

This is equivalent to giving up on a mission when you haven't encountered any danger yet, but just heard that there is danger. How will your employer see it?

Losing face for yourself is a small matter, but the reputation of the village is a big matter!

Without the trust of the employer, the village could receive fewer tasks, the village's economy declined, the village's strength declined, and the village's...

In short, choosing not to answer would mean being sorry for the village, sorry for the teacher’s cultivation, and sorry for their status as the inheritors of the Hokage’s will!

Answer, you must answer, if you don't answer you are not worthy of being a Konoha person!

Thinking of this, they, who had already completed self-brainwashing, all had determined looks in their eyes.

I have to say, if we talk about who is the best at brainwashing in the ninja world, the Hidden Leaf Village in the Land of Fire is undoubtedly it.

An empty slogan has trapped one young person after another, making them willing to contribute to the village and make it shine.

"Well, let's begin. This is the last question. Those who choose not to answer please raise your hands. After confirming your numbers, you can leave here." Morino Ibiki issued the final ultimatum.

The exam time was very close at one hour, and he would not give the candidates too much time to think.

This is also the reason why I chose to say it forty-five minutes after the exam started.

time is limited!

The candidates had no time to think about it any further. Time waits for no one. Finally, some of them could not bear the pressure anymore and chose to withdraw.

And after the first one, there was the second, the third... until no one raised their hand in the classroom.

"What is it? What is it? What is the last question? What does the uncle mean?" Naruto pondered.

As more and more people quit, Naruto's mentality changed unconsciously.

Previously, out of trust in Ye Feng, he persisted until now, just to turn the tables in the last question, but Morino Ibiki was reluctant to tell him the content of the last question, and Naruto didn't know whether his persistence was useful.

Why should I persist? Even if I fail this time, there is always next time. At most, I can come back to take the exam next time. It is impossible that the examiner next time will be this serious-looking uncle, right?

Even if it's him again next time, but there's always going to be one time when it won't be him, right?

Senior Yakushi Dou has participated seven times, no, this is already the eighth time, so why can’t I participate a few more times?

There must be a time when I can pass, right?

Why do we have to fight to the death this time?

Give up, give up, we still have a chance...

The devil's whispers echoed in his ears and the continuous elimination of candidates shook Naruto's mind. The only remaining trace of reason told him that he must not give up, must not give up, this was our last chance.

Think about why you became a ninja? Think about your dream? Think about your determination to fight to protect your companions.

You gave up this time, but what about next time? Will you give up again next time?

You are Naruto, you are Uzumaki Naruto who will become the Hokage in the future!

Look, look up, don’t you think the statue on the Hokage Rock is missing something?

What's missing?

Missing you!

Without you, Hokage Rock is so dim, just like a night with only stars but no moon. No matter how bright the stars are, they can never compare to the moon.

It is said that how can the light of a grain of rice compete with the brightness of the bright moon?

What the uncle said makes a lot of sense. Even if you don’t believe in yourself, you have to believe in the uncle. How could the uncle ever lie to you?

Uh... the last sentence doesn't count. Although the uncle is a little unreliable sometimes, if you think about it carefully, forget it, don't think about it. Just tell me whether you believe it or not?

Don't forget that the first person who suggested that you take part in the Chunin Exam was the uncle.

Since the uncle dares to make such a suggestion, it means he has confidence in you guys.

I heard that Sasuke also wants to compete for the position of Hokage. He is a big rival of yours. He always makes fun of you and says you are the last one. Don't you want to get rid of this title?

Or have you already given up and don't care anymore?

If you think so, then I don't care even more. As for the Hokage, it doesn't matter who becomes the Hokage. Maybe Sasuke is more suitable to be the Hokage than you!

"Enough!" Naruto shouted, and in the eyes of many candidates who looked at him like a fool, he stood up and said loudly, "I don't agree!"

Yes, that's right, this is the Naruto I know. No matter what difficulties and obstacles lie ahead, just give it a try. If you don't even have the courage to try, how can you compete for the position of Hokage?

Come on, let the storm come even harder!

On behalf of the shadow clones of goodness, I declare war on you evil shadow clones. Brothers, charge!

Why don't you rush?

That’s right, I am obviously the representative.

Stop talking nonsense and kill those shameless people on the other side.

Go!

……

There were so many shadow clones that it was impossible to count them. They were divided into two factions, the 'no answer' faction and the 'answer' faction. At the command of the referee Kurama, the two factions started a fight in Naruto's mind.

……

"What do you disagree with?" Morino Ibiki's eyes narrowed, sending out dangerous signals, "Are you questioning the rules I set?"

"No, no."

Naruto had no idea what was going on in his mind. He only knew that if he couldn't come up with a reasonable explanation, his end would be very miserable.

In the classroom, offending an examiner who is still invigilating? Tsk tsk!

Naruto swallowed his saliva with a gulp, and under Sakura's nervous gaze, he stammered, "Um, um, I think, as a member of Konoha, I, I can't bring shame to my village. I won't give up, yes, I won't give up!"

The more he spoke, the smoother it became. Naruto slammed the table and said with great momentum: "Also, don't underestimate me. I will never, ever run away from a battle."

"I want to participate. Even if I can only be a Genin for the rest of my life, I will become Hokage with just one breath. It's okay. I'm not afraid at all. Come on, ask the questions!"

"Hmph, you're such an interesting kid. You've eliminated their anxiety in an instant," Morino Ibiki smiled barely perceptibly and looked around at the number of people left in the classroom. "Seventy-eight people? That's more than I thought. It will be the same if we keep going."

"In that case..." Morino Ibiki exchanged glances with the many invigilators in the classroom. Seeing that they all nodded, he already had a conclusion in his mind.

"You have a good determination!" Morino Ibiki said a word of praise. If there were someone who knew him here, they would be surprised, because they didn't hear words of praise from Morino Ibiki very often.

The goal has been achieved, and Morino Ibiki did not waste any more time and directly revealed the final mystery.

"Then, everyone who stays here, I judge you to have passed the first test!"

Once the riddle was revealed, many candidates were shocked.

"Huh?" Naruto couldn't believe it. Because of nervousness, his clenched hands loosened involuntarily, and the pen in his hand rolled to the ground without him noticing. This final result was beyond his expectations.

"Wait a minute, what's going on?" The clever Sakura was also confused. What on earth was going on? "How did you pass? You haven't even told me what the last question was?"

"Hahaha!" Morino Ibiki's usually serious face revealed an embarrassed smile. "There has never been such a thing from the beginning. The last question doesn't even exist. If you must explain it, the two-choice question just now is the last question."

This made many candidates even more confused.

"Then what about the questions before this? Are they completely useless?" One of the many candidates couldn't help but ask. What she wanted to know most was whether the questions she wrote on the test paper would still count towards her score?

"It's not completely useless," Morino Ibiki explained, "The questions on the test paper have already achieved the purpose of the test, which is to test each of your intelligence gathering capabilities."

"Intelligence gathering ability?" Naruto muttered to himself, unconsciously covering his test paper with his arm.

Morino Ibiki said slowly: "First of all, the key points of this exam have been mentioned in the rules at the beginning. The method of determining whether or not to pass the exam in units of three people can put pressure on you, which will affect your teammates and bring you unimaginable pressure."

"But, of course, the questions on the test paper are not something you Genin can answer..."

'That's not necessarily true,' Ye Feng, who was not here, argued, "Didn't Sakura write it? Hinata also wrote it, and she's a Genin? Let Kakashi try. Kakashi is a Jonin, so he's good at fighting, but he may not be able to beat Sakura when it comes to answering questions. This kid reads Liu Bei's book every day, his brain is so rotten."

Morino Ibiki naturally couldn't hear Ye Feng's argument. He was still explaining the reasons to the many candidates.

"You also know the difficulty of the questions. Some of the questions are beyond the syllabus. What should you do if you don't know how to answer them? Then you can find someone who knows how to answer them. So in order to get points, you can only cheat. Therefore, this exam is based on cheating."

"As targets for cheating, I have selected two Chunins who know all the answers and have been lurking among you from the beginning."

“I see, that’s why I was wondering why someone could write so smoothly.”, “Yeah, he just started writing.”, “I thought he just wrote randomly, haha, luckily I guessed right.”…

"Huh?" Hearing the whispers coming from behind, Naruto pretended to have noticed it in order to fit in, "Hahaha, it's so obvious, it would be strange if you didn't notice it, right Hinata?"

Hinata covered her mouth and chuckled. As Naruto's temporary deskmate, she knew that Naruto was not online the whole time. He even only wrote his own name on the test paper.

The exams were over, so Morino Ibiki didn't pay attention to the whispers in the classroom and continued, "But of course, those who only know how to cheat with stupid methods will be eliminated. Why?"

He took off his headscarf, showed it to the many examinees and said, "Huh! Intelligence is sometimes more valuable than life. It is something that requires fighting for life on missions and battlefields."

Nothing could be more convincing than this. Morino Ibiki took off his headscarf, revealing his scarred head.

There was not a single piece of intact skin on the entire head, and there were even several holes. Without the support of the skull, the head was sunken inwards.

"The information obtained by the enemy or a third party is not necessarily correct," said Morino Ibiki, putting on his headscarf again. "I hope you remember this: 'Holding wrong information will bring a fatal blow to your companions and enemies.' In this sense, we will let you cheat to collect information and select those with poor abilities. This is the hidden content of this exam."

"But I always feel that the last question is a bit hard to accept." Ibiki Morino explained it very clearly, but some people still didn't understand what this last question meant.

The previous exams can be understood as testing one’s ability to collect intelligence. So what does the last question test?

It can't really be a multiple-choice question, answer it or not?

This is too unacceptable!

"Don't be impatient, I haven't finished yet. The last question is the real purpose of the first exam." Morino Ibiki said with a smile, but his serious face with a smile always made people feel a little awkward.

"Let me explain. The last question is a choice between answering and not answering. You all know without me having to tell you that this is a choice that will cause you inner suffering."

"If you choose not to answer, your companions will be eliminated along with you. If you choose to answer but answer incorrectly, you will be deprived of the right to take the exam forever. This is actually a very dishonest question."

"Don't you understand? Let me put it another way. Suppose you become a Chunin and are going to carry out a mission. The mission is to seize a secret document. You don't know the number of enemy ninjas, their abilities, whether they have other weapons, etc., and the enemy may set traps. Would you accept such a mission or not?"
