Did you pass? Take another look, read carefully

"Shisui, for this exam, if you can be promoted to Chunin, you must go all out."

"Clan leader, I think it would be better not to promote me. Teacher said, a tree that grows too tall is easily blown down, I think it makes sense, besides, the Uchiha clan doesn't need these things to adorn our reputation now."

"That's what you think? Then do as you wish."

Shisui repeatedly recalled in his mind the conversation he had with Fugaku last night.

The clan was really complicated.

Shisui didn't understand before.

However.

The things Kyōichi taught Yahiko the other time, he secretly remembered them all. After returning to Konoha, while training, he also observed and understood quite a bit of what Kyōichi said.

Comrades, enemies.

That's right!

This is the most important.

Many of those people in the clan, not only are they not comrades, but rather they hinder progress with their thoughts even more cunning than their abilities - not to mention, even a simple Chunin exam, they could make it into a stage to show off their muscles.

However.

Is it useful?

Shisui was only 5 years old, but he also understood it was completely useless.

Just like the difference between the Land of Rain and the Great Nations, one or two geniuses are far from enough to reverse the fundamental decline.

Those old men in the clan, each one treating Konoha as an imaginary enemy...

Sooner or later something will happen.

"Shisui, I heard this exam is not ordinary, you have to be extra careful."

"..."

Shisui looked up at Obito, his mouth slightly open as if he wanted to say something but hesitated, his expression a little confused.

Beside them.

Kurenai couldn't help but laugh and teased: "Obito, I think you should worry about yourself. If you keep being reckless again, you might embarrass yourself this time."

"Tsk,as long as Kakashi isn't here, I'm going to prove myself!"

Obito made a thumbs up.

Such confidence!

However.

When he saw the exam paper in the first exam, he was stunned.

A written test?

Why is there something like this in the Chunin Exam!

He was instantly paralyzed.

Kyōichi did not participate in the first exam.

There was nothing much to grade for a written test.

However.

The person who set the questions was Minato Namikaze.

Outside.

"Did you make the questions very difficult? Aren't you afraid Obito won't pass?"

Kyōichi was very curious.

Obito's head was as empty as Naruto's when it came to book smarts, but his Taijutsu and Ninjutsu were strong, he was quite an outlier.

"I hope it can make him understand the importance of theory."

Minato said.

"Minato has good intentions."

Hayama Shirakumo sighed.

Kyōichi thought for a moment, couldn't help but chuckled and said: "Wouldn't this shock the kid into awakening his Sharingan?"

"Ah?"

Minato was stunned for a moment.

Is that possible?

But on careful thought, whether in combat or daily life, Obito was full of unpredictability in all aspects, and his own abilities were indeed not weak either, it was hard to say if he could really awaken his Sharingan from this.

At this time, Obito was scratching his head anxiously.

He was in big trouble!

So many questions, he didn't know how to solve a single one.

His mind really wasn't smart.

Kyōichi lamented in his heart, patting Minato on the shoulder: "It's difficult huh! Might as well reforge him earlier."

Going back into the forge, may not be a bad thing.

Obito was a huge trouble!

And.

Right now in Madara's list, there was still no Obito, even Shisui's priority was probably much higher than Obito's.

However.

The humane destruction of a person was obviously not realistic.

Minato only took Kyōichi's words as a joke.

After a good half of the exam time passed, many people were scratching their heads anxiously, but some had also started cheating with various methods, all of which was seen by the Jōnin outside.

However.

For ordinary methods, they would close one eye.

But Obito, bringing cheat sheets was going too far!

"Put him as a reserve, if there are enough people for the team assignments eliminate him, if not let him join a team."

The Third Hokage said with a smile.

Obito.

He had a deep impression of this kid.

In fact, the Third saw Obito as a second Uchiha Kagami, with importance far above Shisui, because in the eyes of the Third', Obito was truly kind.

He could change the Uchiha!

Kyōichi's eyes narrowed.

Obito huh?

Heh.

The Second Hokage's words were very clear.

After awakening their Sharingan, Uchiha may go to extremes and become a completely opposite personality.

The Third didn't remember any of that at all.

He only imitated the surface...

Kyōichi didn't say much more, his philosophies were different from the Third's, but fundamentally speaking, the Third's governance was far better than the Danzō.

If it was that old thief.

Who knows, he might already be lying in a lab for Konoha's "cause".

This point was still commendable.

Time passed quickly.

The exam ended!

Kyōichi glanced over, picked up a scroll and prepared to go instruct the second exam grounds.

"Oh right Minato, work hard in the second exam. During the Jōnin eliminations, take action and 'kill' those shinobi who are lagging behind yet still in everyone's sight."

Kyōichi reminded.

He will be the one announcing the rules for the second portion of the exam, so he had no time to instruct here.

Minato nodded, signaling he understood.

Then.

Kyōichi walked out.

Soon after.

The exam results came out.

There wasn't much need for grading really, during the exam it was already very clear which scrolls had a high chance of passing. The only one exceeding the teachers' expectations was Obito.

The Third's special approval, reserve!

A group of people crowded around the notice board.

Obito was extremely nervous, he felt he wouldn't pass, yet still hoped for a miracle.

One by one...

None, none!

He failed!

His heart chilled.

However.

"You think you'll pass after cheating?"

A familiar voice sounded.

Teacher Kyōichi's voice.

As expected.

Obito's face drooped completely.

He was discovered cheating during the exam.

"Obito, look below!"

Rin said excitedly.

Obito immediately looked down.

Reserve?

Reserve Genin, Uchiha Obito.

Huh?

Obito was stunned for a moment, then became extremely excited and delighted.

"Teacher, I passed!"

"Happy? It's too early to celebrate. 3-man teams, count if the official list has a number divisible by 3. If it just happens to be divisible by 3, then sorry, you're only a reserve, unless someone gets unexpectedly injured and drops out."

Kyōichi said with a smile.

"Ah?"

Obito's face instantly crumpled.

Besides him Rin and Kurenai were giggling.

They had noticed early.

There just happened to be one missing above, obviously...

Obito passed.

Was a bit questionable.

Shisui looked at Kyōichi, then outside, inevitably thoughtful.

However.

Obito passing was still good news.

He didn't think more about it.

"Alright, like I said, you're celebrating too early. The first exam was just an appetizer. The second exam... I'll make you regret passing the first."

Kyōichi's demeanor was the same.

Smiling warmly and amicably.

However.

His eyes were very serious.

Everyone instantly held their breaths and concentrated, no longer noisy. In this narrow square they lined up in an orderly fashion.

They all understood now.

Kyōichi was the chief examiner for the second exam.

He was here to announce the rules!

"Very good, then..."

The scroll unfurled, the map appeared.

"I'll give you guys 1 minute to memorize this map, all methods of direct contact are allowed except external help."

Swish...

Instantly, everyone squeezed to the front.

Map!

All shinobi understood very clearly, these were extremely important in war, many lives may be lost to obtain a single map.

Intelligence gathering!

The exam had already begun.

This was a match of intelligence gathering, as well as a contest of abilities.
