Chapter 226 Chunin Exam 7

Before today, Neji might never have thought that the Chunin Exam would be so fun.

The first test came from that fierce-looking uncle.

Ibiki Jounin of the Torture Department.

Neji's main impression of Ibiki is his ferocious appearance and delicate heart.

His rolling eyes were destined not to let anyone's disguise slip.

Even for a jonin, it is sometimes difficult to escape.

At that time, Neji relied more on intuition than on the control of his "psychology" and "facial muscles".

This examiner doesn't seem to be a bad person.

At least that's what these eyes told him.

"After his teammates died, Ibiki became more and more aggressive."

"Oh yeah, he seems to have a younger brother."

Tsunade was initially wondering which great god Ibiki was, but then her dormant memories were suddenly awakened.

"It seems that he was captured and tortured by the enemy before - Ibiki was still a Chunin at that time."

“Time flies by so fast…”

The woman leaned over and leaned against Neji.

It was obvious that her focus was not on the Chunin Exams at all, and she was just trying to be the commentary sister here.

Just like in the comics - you see, the most beautiful female character is often not the heroine, but the sister who passionately explains the battle.

"After being taken away and tortured by the enemy, what do you think this guy was doing?"

The sound of senbei being bitten off continued. At this time, Uchiha Itachi cooperated: "What are you doing?"

He returned to his initial poker face, with a little smile, a little silence, and a lot of indifference.

Indifference is a good thing. It helps all who use it hide their vulnerability.

Like now.

Arm yourself with armor until that shaky heart gradually becomes hard.

The Uchiha clan's paranoia and extremism are probably innate.

As the price of their power, they seem to be born psychopaths.

"Actually! He learned the enemy's torture methods, and! After that, he brought these methods back to Konoha."

"Because of this, he became a special jonin. It seems that Sarutobi-sensei was also present at the commendation ceremony at that time."

Sarutobi Hiruzen: You have to take me with you no matter what, right?

The Sandaime was depressed, but he didn't say it.

The Sandaime decided to be a good old man today and not bother with these kids.

"What do you think Snake Eye will write on the test paper?"

Neji listened silently. Although the two of them were a little noisy, he didn't hate it.

When I was a child, I always felt that I hated noise. It turned out that it was just my childishness that caused me to be deeply trapped in the suffering of this life.

The joy around him was like a sharp blade, piercing Neji's heart accurately at that time.

It's not that I don't like it, I just can't stand it.

Like a bat that has lived in a cave for a long time being burned by the sunlight.

Like a mole stumbling on the ground trying to find its way home.

But now, it all seems less harsh and sharp.

Maybe I am no longer the same person I was back then.

It is neither as painful nor as firm as it was then.

Can I really protect these people like this?

"Well...after all, he knows someone is watching him."

"That's not it."

As Hyuga Neji taking his first exam, he knew almost the moment he saw the test paper that this was definitely not a test paper that a Genin, or even a Genin who had just graduated from the Ninja School, could complete.

Not to mention a fool like Rock Lee, even Uchiha Sasuke could only get one or two things right at most.

Wanting to be a genius, he naturally put in more effort, and not being limited to textbooks was just the first step.

What about the people other than him?

The sound of the pen tip rubbing against the paper was sharp and harsh.

But there are many overlapping and resonant parts.

Is it really their knowledge level that this examiner wants to test first?

Neji quickly came to the answer: no, absolutely not.

In the eyes of the examiners, this is a question that the candidates will definitely not be able to answer.

It will be easy as long as you know that the examiner's goal is not to eliminate everyone.

As soon as the eyes are rolled up, it is instantly revealed who wrote what on the test paper.

"He has no means of cheating."

The snake-eyed apricot tree is indeed a genius.

But his style of doing things seems to have always been that of a gentleman.

Gentle, kind, and upright.

"If it was Konoha's Snake Eye Anju, there would be no way he could answer these five questions."

Neji had already learned the result of the test. Although he could clearly feel that Tsunade and Itachi were hiding something, Neji did not think that this was a fatal problem.

He could probably guess the part that was concealed.

It was nothing more than expressing his thoughts, his past, his entanglements and pain through Snake Eyes' mouth.

He guessed that was still considered mild - if he really saw Snake Eye talking about his injuries like this, even Neji himself didn't think he could bear it.

Snakes may have a limited imagination, but it is certainly useful.

Therefore, Neji would not ask about the details during the period, but gratitude accounted for the majority of his emotions.

"He is by no means the kind of person who is very interested in learning."

Ningci suddenly sneered: "But he will definitely not be eliminated here."

"So what does it do?"

Three pairs of eyes were clearly focused on Neji.

He could feel the burning sensation of these gazes, but he accepted them with enjoyment.

What would a snake do?

The answer is simple, as long as he keeps watching, the snake will do nothing.

But just because snakes can't do anything to snake eyes doesn't mean they can't do anything to him.

three.

Neji counted down.

two.

One.

"It's been such a long time no see."

"My most outstanding host."

"As your future partner, I've missed you so much these days. You'd never guess how much I've been looking forward to this day."

Snakes rarely tell lies, at least when facing Neji, the majority of their words are true.

Snake's four years were not fake, but Snake would never expect to see him now.

"You put all that false affection on me... just to make me disgusted with you?"

"You'd better not waste your energy doing something that only fools would do."

Neji's consciousness was divided into two halves, one half remained where it was, while the other half was dragged by the snake into this extremely familiar space.

A black space where only sounds can be heard.

I can't see myself or the snake here, all I can see is the remaining consciousness of both.

"If you can be embarrassed for a moment, that's a gift from time."

The snake did not sound happy.

It didn't want to come to Hyuga Neji so early, or let Neji know what it wanted to do now.

"You're more perceptive than I thought."

Snake originally thought that just placing a snake-eyed apricot tree in front of Neji would not cause any harm.

But it seemed to underestimate its future partner.

Hyuga Neji acted quickly. Since the beginning of the Chunin Exam, his eyes had never left Snake Eye Apricot Tree.

That crystal ball is really an eyesore.

"When did you find out?"

"I can't do anything to something you've already observed."

The snake was restless, its desire growing again.

"I'll tell you what you can get."

"I'm not your host anymore, am I?"

The implication is clear: You have no right to make demands to me.

Now it is Neji who holds the initiative.

As long as the snake is still a snake, as long as the snake is still greedy, it will always want Neji to have more interesting and ups and downs stories.

This way, it won’t be boring and afternoon tea will be delicious.

"You are right about that."

The snake began to measure.

It wants nothing to lose, it wants everything.

The structure of a snake is simple, so simple that it is totally inconsistent with the power it possesses.

"Then I'll tell you something you want to know."

"The man in black that I saw at that time, the black you."

"Don't you want to know who he is?"

"Or... where are the souls of Hinata Hizashi and Tenten now..."

"You need to ask too much from me..."

But the snake did not feel the expected greed from Neji's consciousness.

"I already have the answer to the latter..."
