Shikamaru looked thoughtfully at the candidates around him, including the expressions on the faces of many Chuunin proctors, but it was certain that Morino Ihiki's words and threats had caused him to deliberately act in the examination room.
The depressing and uneasy atmosphere created has disappeared. Because of Naruto's words, most of the candidates looked at this seemingly inconspicuous short Konoha genin with interest. This may be the protagonist of the original work.
Naruto's unique personality charm.
In the original work, Naruto was recognized and admired by many people. In addition to luck, it was also related to his character. Although he was always reckless, he achieved a higher level than his fellow genin in Konoha Village.
achievements.
In the final analysis, Orochimaru and Danzo's character and behavior can win the die-hard loyalty of a small number of people, but for most people, they will be jealous and fearful, but will not support them as their leaders——
Because they behave too dangerously and darkly - they may have means and a cold and firm mind, but a qualified leader is not just these two things. Personal charm, seemingly untouchable, is actually enough to make most people
The ability to convince most people and feel at ease, in other words, can bring benefits to the vast majority of people.
Subordinates who are dead-set, foolishly loyal, never repentant, and give up their own pursuits and personality are hard to come by. If you want to use this to control all your subordinates and ask others to devote themselves without giving anything, you will get only
Hostility - "If the king treats his ministers like his hands and feet, then his ministers will regard him as his heart and soul; if his ministers regard his ministers as dogs and horses, then his ministers will regard him as a countryman; if his ministers regard his ministers as earth and mustard, then his ministers will regard him as a bandit.", previous life.
Mencius's answer to King Xuan of Qi couldn't be more clear. Even if you are a monarch, you should not be too self-centered. Human beings are the most complex animals and the most difficult to control.
Kimimaro, for example, also felt his own value because of Orochimaru's attention, so he was completely devastated. As for Danzo, even Saai, who had been trained since childhood, could not be relied on. It cannot be said to be an extreme failure, but it is enough to show that this kind of behavior has already
No longer adapted to today's ninja world. As an elite ninja, ninjas have experienced a complete education, have sufficient knowledge and independent personality. They are not illiterate fools or hothouse flowers with no social experience. If you want to become a ninja
It is no longer enough to conceal and make strong demands with a mystical and militaristic attitude.
Through Naruto's performance, Shikamaru was able to think of so many things in a short period of time because of his years of experience living in the world of Naruto.
Shikamaru admires Orochimaru's fascination with "jutsu" and his resistance to established facts, and admires Danzo's age and tenacity, but in the final analysis, both of them want to become Hokage, but they both died without success.
, for a ninja who aspires to be Hokage, learning from them is a dead end and has no merit.
Just say that now, the reason why Choji and Ino obey Shikamaru's words is because Shikamaru's decisions have always been correct. The two people in his team have also benefited from this, and there are no arrogant orders or demands.
, otherwise even if Shikamaru is the number one in the ninja school, Ino and Choji are both genin and do not need to listen to his orders many times.
…………
Naruto's performance had an impact on the atmosphere in the examination room and the psychology of many candidates. As an interrogation expert, Morino Ihiki naturally easily discovered it.
After a simple stalemate, the serious-looking Morino Hibiki saw Naruto with his arms crossed and a stubborn look on his face. His tense and serious face suddenly softened. The Chunin proctors sitting around the examination room also looked at him.
With a smile.
"Your choice is very good," Morino smiled happily. Although the smile this time was kinder, for the candidates who had already left a cold and tough impression in their hearts, his smile seemed very...
The gloominess seemed to be sarcastic to Naruto: "Then all the candidates staying here..."
Including Naruto, who had a tough attitude before, all the candidates stared nervously at Morino Ihiki, waiting for the result of the so-called "gamble of a lifetime".
"I declare that you have all passed the first exam!" Morino Ihiki's words blurted out, which did not make many candidates relax, but made them even more suspicious and surprised.
"What's going on? We passed like this? What about the tenth question? Why didn't you pass!?" Ino, who was sitting in the front row, asked Morino Ihiki in surprise.
"Actually, there is no question ten at all." Hiki Morino swept away his cold temperament before, with a relaxed smile on his tough face, and said: "In other words, the previous choice was the tenth question!"
"What about the previous nine questions..." Sakura asked with a frown. She had answered all the previous test questions by herself, but she had not thought carefully about the hidden information between the rules, so she still had some doubts.
"The purpose of those nine test questions is to test the intelligence gathering ability of each of you." Seemingly answering Sakura's doubts, Morino Ihiki said softly: "The key point in this test regulation is to use the skills of a three-person team
The scoring method is calculated based on the total score to make you fear that you will hinder your teammates."
"But these test questions are too complex and advanced. As a result, many people only think of cheating. To put it simply, this test is to test your intelligence gathering ability by letting you cheat!" Morino Ihiki
He said, pointing to the two candidates wearing Konoha forehead protectors who were mixed in the examination room: "I deliberately selected two chuunin who can answer all the questions and mix them among you to serve as your intelligence sources."
"The clumsy idiots will naturally be eliminated. This is for their own good." Morino Ihiki raised his hands, stretched them behind his head and slowly connected the forehead protector wrapping his head, and at the same time said: "As a genin, you can only
It’s just some minor issues that need to be dealt with. There is no danger. Even if you participate in the war, as the lowest level ninja, there is no information to interrogate, but after becoming a chuunin..."
The moment Morino Ihiki took off the forehead protector on her head, some of the more psychologically fragile female ninjas, including Ino and Sakura, even screamed in surprise.
Burns, screw holes, scars, contusions... The horrific scars all over Morino Hiki's head can be seen at a glance to what extent he has been subjected to inhuman torture. At this time, the few scars on his face,
Compared with the head, it pales into insignificance. The candidates who had been a little relaxed because of Morino's friendly attitude felt a little depressed again when they saw this.
Even with Shikamaru's mind, he frowned secretly when he saw the scar on Morino Hiki's head. It is indeed respectable to survive such inhuman torture and even return to Konoha to continue to be active as a ninja.
Scary man.
"For ninjas, information is sometimes even more important than life, so when performing missions or on the battlefield, they often have to desperately steal information." Although Morino Ihiki still has a kind smile on his face,
But it was unable to relax the candidates. He didn't care about it, pointed to the scar on his finger, and continued: "But important information is often trapped in the enemy's heavy protection, and the ability is not enough. In the enemy's territory,
You were discovered stealing intelligence... then you would have become the enemy's intelligence source. You must also know what is waiting for you!"
Naruto thought that he was caught while stealing information, and then suffered the same torture as Morino Hiki. He couldn't help but shuddered. He looked at the other party again and found that Morino Hiki had tied the forehead protector again and said at the same time:
"And I hope you remember that sometimes if you make a mistake alone, it will not only affect you personally - your companions, and even the village, may suffer heavy losses. As a chunin, you must become stronger than before.
, be more mature, not only for yourself, but also to protect your subordinates and companions, as well as your home!"
"..."
Morino Hiki's voice fell behind, and the classroom seemed a little quiet. After a long time, Temari saw that Morino Hiki seemed to be specifically trying to answer the candidates' questions, so after hesitating for a moment, she asked aloud: "What do I think about the last question?
, I still don’t understand the intention.”
"Question 10 is the real purpose of this exam! In other words, this is a test of courage." Morino Ibixi looked serious and said slowly: "The choice between taking the exam and not taking the exam is actually to face it head-on or retreat.
It's a choice. Even if the mission is very dangerous, as a ninja, there are still reasons why you have to carry it out."
"Because this information is probably the key to the direction of the battlefield and the basis for the village's victory!" Morino Ihiki glanced at the many candidates. After seeing that they were all listening to his words seriously, he nodded and said seriously.
: "As the team leader, the chuunin needs to give courage and confidence to his companions at this time, but losers who dare not fight at critical moments and only shrink back cannot do this! They are not qualified to become chuunin at all!
"
"If you answer the tenth question correctly, you should be able to face the difficulties in the future. In other words, you have passed the first level of the Chunin Selection Examination," Morino Ibi smiled and said loudly to many candidates.
: "The written test is over. I hope you can work hard! Cope with the next..."
As Morino Ihiki was speaking, his expression suddenly tightened and he looked sideways at the window next to the podium. A black shadow was approaching quickly at this moment.
"Wow!"
The black shadow broke through the glass on the window without stopping and rushed into the classroom. Morino Ihiki did not move because he had already guessed who was coming at this time.
At this time, many candidates in the classroom, who were originally relaxed because of Morino Hiki's previous closing declaration, became nervous because of the sudden situation. They thought that the second exam would be held immediately. After all, Morino Hiki had cheated before.
The tenth question of the formula left a deep impression on them.
The black shadow suddenly spread out when it reached the podium, but it turned out to be a large black cloth. Two kunai flew out, implicated the two corners of the black cloth, and were nailed to the ceiling, just blocking the black cloth in front of Morino Hiki.
, wrote two lines of large characters - the examiner of the second exam, Mitarashi Anko.
