****************

When he checked the test paper, Colt smiled.

'Is this even a problem for… humans?'

Even the smartest person couldn't solve any of these questions.

Looking at the exam paper as if it were a book that came down from the heavens, Colt gave up resistance and began to observe the embarrassment of the other candidates.

Obviously, for these budding kids, these questions were undoubtedly beyond their capabilities.

Except for a few 'academic masters' like Sakura who basically memorized everything, all the rest were struggling.

Fortunately, a few Chūnin were placed among the examinees to provide answers, giving hope to those who wished to cheat.

But Ibiki's warning dispelled many people's thoughts.

"The observers are all seasoned Ninjas; Don't think you can cheat without being noticed."

"If you're caught three times, you'll never become a Chūnin in this life!"

Naruto scratched his head anxiously; he could already feel the murderous aura from Sakura and Sasuke.

However, apart from writing his own name, he couldn't answer any other questions at all!

He was thinking that if he didn't do good, they would be disqualified because of him.

Little did he know, Sasuke and Sakura were the most mentally broken.

If the exam was calculated by the average score, they would be able to carry Naruto and Colt into the next exam.

But now it was actually graded by individual performance.

Who doesn't know that Colt and Naruto have the worst theoretical knowledge in the class?

Naruto was simply poor in academics.

But Colt, that bastard… his weird answers even made the teachers faint!

Hinata, sitting beside Colt, looked at him worriedly and moved her test paper as close to him as possible.

Sensing Hinata's concern, Colt gave her a reassuring look.

As time passed, more and more candidates began to cheat, employing all kinds of strange methods.

Ibiki showed a satisfied smile.

What he liked the most was creating enormous psychological pressure on prisoners to make them submit.

Although the current examinees weren't prisoners, it wasn't that different to him…

He quite enjoyed the atmosphere it created.

Suddenly, a very weird scene was registered in his field of vision.

A handsome Konoha Genin was not acting like he was taking an exam.

Instead, he observed the rest of the candidates as if he was an observer like him.

Looking here and there, from time to time, he pouted his lips and looked bored.

As if he were here to watch monkeys playing around.

"Kamiyo Colt?" Ibiki looked at the candidate's information, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

Interesting.

Naturally, Colt also noticed Ibiki's attention, but he didn't care at all.

He knew the process of this exam better than Ibiki himself.

What was being examined was not the theoretical knowledge of the ninjas, but their intelligence-gathering ability.

As long as the cheating method met the standard, no points would be deducted.

Therefore, Colt not only didn't restrain himself but even intensified his actions.

His attitude was so arrogant that even Ibiki became a little angry. But he stayed silent.

Meanwhile, among those who were being watched intensely by Colt.

Kankuro was nervous about being watched.

The shadow of being beaten that day had not dissipated, and now he was being targeted again.

He was very afraid to talk to Colt directly, so he started complaining directly in the examination room.

"Examiner!" Kankuro finally couldn't take it anymore and raised his right hand to signal.

"Do you not care if someone is interfering with the order of the examination room?"

"Huh?" Ibiki snorted.

"It's him, he keeps looking at me, so I can't even focus on answering the questions," Kankuro pointed at Colt with grief and indignation.

His words caused a chain reaction, and many candidates who were affected by Colt's actions also protested.

"That's right! This person keeps looking around, it's annoying!"

"I think he just copied my papers! I'm reporting him for cheating!"

"Hey, you didn't even write one word, he copied nothing."

"How do you know?"

"I had wanted to copy you before, of course, I know."

The original chilling atmosphere disappeared, and it turned into a vegetable market in the blink of an eye.

"Shut up!" Ibiki's face turned cold, and he shouted in a deep voice.

"Where do you think you are?? This is an examination room!"

"This candidate did not have any irregularities. If anyone complains, they'll be disqualified from the exam!"

Ibiki was also very upset.

Colt had ignored the pressure he had painstakingly created, but this was Konoha's territory.

How could he help those kids from other villages embarrass his own people?

On the contrary, he began to appreciate Colt somewhat.

These tortured candidates were all foreign ninjas, and Konoha's own people were hardly affected.

Looking at the indignant Kankuro, Ibiki added.

"For disrupting the order of the examination room, two points will be deducted, and it will be treated as cheating."

Kankuro wanted to argue for himself, but Gaara spoke indifferently.

"Shut up."

The murderous aura surrounding him made Kankuro suffocate.

Gaara was angry at him, and he didn't dare to force the issue anymore.

The storm subsided, and the candidates who were booing began to answer the questions quickly.

But Colt was not happy.

He had just looked around casually without interfering with anyone answering their questions, so how could so many people target him?

Since they were looking for trouble with him, he decided to return the favor.

Everyone in the examination room showed their abilities and used their own methods to steal the answers.

But everyone's cheating methods were visible to Colt's eyes.

The first target was Dosu.

Although the device in his hand was destroyed, he still used the only remaining function to analyze the sound waves of pen-writing and gleam the answers.

Colt's mouth opened slightly, and a small vacuum wave was spit out.

A high-pitched whistle flew past Toth's ears.

Toth's ears were now very sensitive in order to hear sound waves more clearly.

Any whistle would be magnified infinitely.

It's just that everyone in the exam room was nervously answering the questions, and the noise was tolerable to him.

At this time, the shrill sound exploded in his ear, as if a hundred loudspeakers were playing simultaneously into his ears.

He exploded immediately.

"Ah!" The shrill cry shocked the examinees who were cheating.

They already had ghosts in their hearts, and now they were almost scared to death.

Even the observers had their attention stolen.

Dosu endured the discomfort, lying on the table dressed in rough clothes, his eardrums perforated and blood still flowing.

He himself was already injured earlier by Colt, and now he was even more hurt.

Ibiki frowned.

Colt's movements were very subtle, and even he didn't notice anything unusual just now.

This was just the first one.

Colt's expression remained unchanged as he looked for the next target.

Soon, Neji, who was staring at him, and Gaara, who had condensed the Sand Eye, were in his sights.

The Byakugan was a natural cheat in this situation.

Neji easily saw the answers.

It's a pity that Colt hadn't gotten those cheating eyes yet.

Because he didn't want to hurt Hinata in the slightest. And he also hadn't encountered the other Hyuga clan members yet.

And Gaara's Sand Eye was also good. It used sand to form a third eye that connected to the optic nerve and floated in the air.

Unfortunately, their good days were over.

Dealing with these two people couldn't be as simple and rude as dealing with Dosu.

The [Three Tomoe Sharingan] emerged, and Colt's head spun around, looking for a chance to meet Neji and Gaara's eyes.

Although his movements were obvious, he didn't even pick up the pen except to finish writing his name.

Those examiners naturally couldn't judge him for cheating.

Finally, an opportunity arose, and both Gaara and Neji noticed his move.

The red light in his eyes light flickered.

[Illusion: 'Exclusive Swimsuit Chiyo' Technique]!

Neji and Gaara saw an unforgettable scene in an instant.

What was it?

That would be left to the imagination…

As for the two affected…

"Yuck!" The two of them retched in unison.

'KAMIYO COLT!'

The killing intent in Gaara's heart skyrocketed.

If it wasn't for the important plan of his village, he would have already attacked now.

Neji wasn't much better either; his white eyes almost turned red as he vomited and stared with utmost hate at Colt.
