Chapter 33: 33
For a time, among the more than 100 genin present, no one dared to despise Kisame, and regarded him as the enemy of this exam.
At this time, a Chunin invigilator came over and opened the door of the lecture hall.
The genins from various ninja villages poured into the classroom one after another.
"I'm going to the toilet."
Kisame said to the two temporary companions of his team, and instead of entering the examination room in a hurry, he walked towards the bathroom at the end of the corridor.
He knew that the purpose of the first written test was to test the intelligence gathering ability of the ninja, so he was ready to find a way to cheat.
When walking to the door of the bathroom, Kisame suddenly heard two voices coming from the corner of the stairs ahead.
So, he quietly leaned over to peep.
'What a coincidence.'
One of the two people at the entrance of the stairs was Asuma whom Kisame met two days ago.
Today, he changed out of the bad boy's suit, put on a chunin vest and ninja suit, and a mask covered half of his face.
When his mouth was blown up by the cigarette handed over by Kisame, his teeth fell off and his lips were cracked. He was really embarrassed, so he wore this mask.
The other person was an eleven- or twelve-year-old girl with long black wavy hair, red eyes, and a little baby fat on her face. She looked very innocent and naive.
She is Asma's puppy love, Yuhi Kurenai.
At this time, the two are discussing about the exam.
"Kurenai, don't worry, with me here, I guarantee you will pass with full marks." Asuma patted his chest and swore.
"However, this is illegal. Asuma, you can't do this."
Kurenai Yuhi shook her head, bit her lip, and stared at Asuma with big watery eyes.
"Don't worry, the first written test is an intelligence battle. With your illusion skills, you can pass the level smoothly even if I don't help. I just want you to consume a little less Chakra and save your stamina. After all, the second round and the third round are the highlight of the actual test, and I can't help you at that time."
Asuma quickly explained, hoping that Kurenai would not misunderstand him.
When Kurenai heard the words, her heart warmed, and she was moved by Asuma's meticulous care.
For a while, the smell of dog food filled the air.
It's a pity that the two people's friendship was quickly interrupted by a discordant voice.
"Yo, Asuma, we meet again. You were so careless about smoking a cigarette. Are your injuries better now?"
Kisame appeared from the side, looking familiar with Asuma.
"Asuma, is this your friend? Are you injured? Why didn't you tell me."
Kurenai Yuhi was taken aback and asked Asuma with concern.
"Let me tell you…"
Kisame opened his mouth to explain, but in the middle of the sentence, he was interrupted by Asuma hurriedly.
"Cough cough. Kurenai, you go to the examination room first, and I want to have a few words with this genin examinee from Kirigakure."
Asuma pretended to cough twice and instructed Kurenai Yuhi.
Kurenai Yuhi had a worried look on her face, and her intuition told her that Asuma had something to hide from her.
But she still listened to his words and left obediently.
"Let's go somewhere else to speak."
When Asuma saw Kurenai walk away, he glanced at Kisame coldly, and walked into the bathroom first.
Kisame glanced at the corridor, confirmed that no one would come over for the time being, and followed suit.
"Hoshigaki Kisame, when you used your means to plot against me, you didn't expect today's situation, right? With me here, don't try to pass this exam, I will stare at you all the way."
As soon as Asuma entered the bathroom, he turned around and sneered at Kisame.
Hearing this, Kisame responded with a puzzled expression:
"You are a defeated dog, why do you dare to talk to me like this?"
"What do you mean? I'm the invigilator. You ask me why I dare to talk to you like this? Is there something wrong with your brain, and you haven't figured out the situation yet?"
Asuma almost laughed angrily. He had never seen such an arrogant person since he was a child.
"The one who didn't understand the situation was you."
Kisame moved his fingers calmly, and a chakra wire shot out, went around behind him, and slammed the door to the bathroom.
After a few seconds.
In the bathroom, there was a sound of fierce fighting, the sound of things being smashed, and the sound of muffled groaning.
This movement continued for a while, and soon returned to calm.
'Squeak.'
The door opened slowly.
At a glance, several urinals were broken, and the tiles were scattered all over the place. The water pipe next to it also burst, spraying water everywhere, soaking most of the bathroom.
Asuma fell unconscious with a bruised nose and a swollen face, his body was tied with chakra strings, and even the mask over his mouth was removed and taped.
Kisame opened the innermost toilet compartment, lifted Asuma, threw him in with a "bang", and locked the door from the inside with a chakra wire.
Next.
He first created a water clone, and then used the said clone to cast a transformation jutsu, to disguise as Asuma.
In the end, Kisame and "Asuma" came out of the bathroom one after the other and walked towards the examination room.
Kurenai Yuhi was waiting outside the classroom door.
She saw Kisame come over, the latter nodded and greeted her, and walked into the examination room.
Asuma was long overdue.
"Asuma, you treated him well, right? You are an invigilator now, representing Konoha. You can no longer do whatever you want, and you have to consider the impact."
Kurenai Yuhi grabbed Asma's arm and asked quietly.
She knew Asuma's character and style best, and worried that he would bully others as a bad boy as usual.
"Don't worry, Kurenai. Didn't you see that guy walk in just now, did that guy looked like he was in trouble?"
Asuma smiled and patted Kurenai's shoulder, signaling her to hurry into the exam room too.
With Kurenai Yuhi seated.
More than 100 candidates have all arrived, and the examiners are almost there, standing in a row in front of the classroom.
The examiner who was in charge of the first written test was a Yamanaka clan ninja, who just turned 22 years old. He is proficient in ninjutsu, which controls the mind and probes the minds of others. He is a powerful ninja of intelligence department.
After he announced the rules of the exam to the candidates, he glanced to the left and right, and suddenly frowned.
"Where's Kakashi, why didn't he come yet?"
He asked his subordinates.
In this first exam, in addition to him, the chief examiner, there were also eight Chunnin invigilators. Their job is to patrol the exam room, catch bad cheaters and knock them out.
"I gonna go see."
Asuma, who was near the door, took the initiative to raise his hand and walked out the door, only to see Kakashi appearing at the end of the corridor, walking slowly.
Yes, Kakashi walked slowly.
After he entered the examination room, he crossed his chest and leaned against the wall with a cool look.
"Wow, so handsome."
In short, when Kakashi appeared, almost everyone in the examination room, male or female, was staring at him.
Kakashi's eyes swept across the candidates, he suddenly paused, took a deep look at Kisame, and then withdrew his gaze.
At this time, Asuma came to Kakashi's side.
"Kakashi, I heard that you were defeated by Hoshigaki Kisame. My experience is the same as yours. That guy must have used despicable means to plot against you."
Asuma whispered, and patted Kakashi on the shoulder, gritted his teeth and said, "Don't worry, if you have trouble moving, just stay here. I will help you monitor him and make sure he can't pass the first exam."
After that without waiting for Kakashi to respond, Asuma sneered and walked behind Kisame, marking him alone.
The exam has begun.
'Swish swish.'
The examination room soon became quiet, only the sounds of the candidates scrambling to write on the examination papers remained.
The questions in this Chunin exam are all extremely difficult. Except for the top students, there are really few people who can reach the passing line.
Therefore, some Konoha Chunin, who knew the answer in advance, disguised as candidates and were evenly distributed in the examination room. Whoever can find a way to copy their answers will be able to pass the test smoothly.
"Don't look around!"
Asuma stood beside Kisame, gave the latter a stern shout, and slapped the table with a "bang".
At this moment, many candidates cast a gloating look at Kisame.
Being guarded by an invigilator throughout the entire process, if Kisame can't cheat, the chances of him eliminated will be 80%.
"What are you looking at?!"
Asuma scolded at the group of candidates, then briefly patrolled around, and soon returned to Kisame.
Next, he kept looking at Kisame to trouble him, and even reached out and pointed at the latter's test paper.
Kisame was surprisingly tolerant, and in the face of Asuma's all kinds of nitpicking, he was very obedient and kept nodding his head.
For those who don't know, they would thought Asuma was guiding him to answer the questions.
Fifteen minutes passed like that.
'Swish!'
Kisame suddenly put down his pen and stood up from the seat, faced Asuma while looking straight into his eyes, the smell of gunpowder was strong.
He seemed to be unable to bear it.
'These two are not going to fight, are they?'
When the candidates around saw this scene, they were all waiting to watch the show, and even several invigilators came over to prevent further conflicts between the two.
But.
Kisame gave a sigh of relief, picked up the test paper, walked through the classroom, walked to the podium, and handed it to the chief examiner.
'This guy is... giving up?'
Almost everyone believes that the behavior of Kisame's early submission is giving up.
However, the results were unexpected.
The chief invigilator took Kisame's test paper, and after careful inspection, there was a look of surprise on his face.
He glanced at Kisame and announced:
"Congratulations, you passed with full marks. You can now go to the next classroom to rest and wait for the start of the next exam."
As soon as this statement came out, many people dropped their jaws in shock.
They know that Kisame has been "cared for" by Asuma, and is strictly guarded. It is a special treatment among all the candidates. Under such circumstances, he can still submit in advance and can get full marks.
It seems that he does have real talents and practical learning, both in civil and ninja issues.
