Dark Forest

Math problem?

Deidara stared at the test paper and looked at it in surprise.

Chicken? Rabbit? The number of feet and head?

He had never seen such a question before.

One had to know that he, Deidara, had also been to a ninja school. He was a 10 year old super genius and was not unfamiliar with mathematics.

However, he had never seen such an inexplicable question.

"Let me think... what? It looks difficult, but it is actually not difficult at all."

There are X chickens, rabbit has Y, 2 X + 4 = 100, 4 Y + 2 X = 86...

Deidara was quick to answer, and his confidence boosted.

He was one step closer to Lord Yuuji!

In the entire classroom, more and more people came up with the solution to the first question. Their tightly knitted brows loosened one after another, and they let out a long breath.

Although it is only the first question, as long as you find the right way, it is very important to improve your confidence and relieve your tension.

Continue to answer the questions.

"In a certain Ninja Village, there are two types of quality assessments for the production of A and B. The two assessments are not qualified as defective products. Only one is qualified for medium-grade, and the two evaluations are both qualified for excellent products. The current A-evaluation of a batch of ninja equipment is two times better than the number of excellent products, and the number of products qualified for A-evaluation and B-evaluation is 6:5. If the defective rate of the batch is 10, ask, what is the excellent rate of this batch of products?"

Deidara:????

The others: ?!

What was this? Was the evaluation so complicated?

All the examinees were shocked at that moment. They wrote and drew on the grass paper with faces full of confusion.

This question stunned most of the people.

The Ninja School mainly taught how to kill, how to hide, how to gather information, and in addition to the political theory classes, it took up a lot of time.

Especially since it was not long before the end of the three battles, it was common to go to the battlefield at the age of a few years old. The teaching style also continued during the three battles. It was extremely rough and everything was practical.

This kind of question...

They had never learned it!

"Hmph, although it looks a bit complicated, it can actually be done. It's just that it takes too much time. I don't want to do it."

Deidara forced himself to calm down, secretly complaining in his heart why this question was not a choice question. That way, he could at least cover one.

He could only continue with the next question.

It was still a calculation question.

"In a certain Ninja army, every Ninja was good at at at least one language in Cat Language, Dog Language, or Insect Language. According to the statistics of the captain, there were 17 people who were good at Cat Language, 21 people who were good at Dog Language, and 23 people who were good at Insect Language. There were 7 people who were good at Cat Language and Dog Language, 6 people who were good at Cat Language and Insect Language, and 6 people who were good at Dog Language and Insect Language. One of the fifteen points of the total number of people who were good at three languages asked, "How many ninjas who are only good at cat language?""

Deidara:???

"Is this question playing with me? This is the same type as the last question, right? But why does it feel different?"

"Damn it, why do humans want to learn the language of animals and insects? This kind of question should be done by the people of the Kamizuru clan!" Deidara snapped the pen.

Out of all of Ninja World, there were two insect control families. Konoha's Aburame family mainly controlled the parasites and other bugs. Iwa ninja's Kamizuru family mainly controlled all kinds of hornets and bugs.

Insect language and so on... How could I, Deidara, know!

Deidara subconsciously looked up and looked at Itachi's position.

Even I can't answer such a difficult question. That annoying fellow from Uchiha's family must also... what?

With his amazing eyesight, he saw that Itachi had finished the third question calmly and began to answer the next question.

And the blank space had something written on it.

"...."

Illusion, it must be an illusion.

Deidara snorted coldly, withdrew his gaze, and quickly glanced at the calculation problem behind him.

"There are 60 ninjas in a Ninja Village..."

"Two villages broke out in war, and there are at least one ninja who killed one person..."

"A team is performing a infiltration mission. Each entrance is 50 meters apart. A was temporarily notified to change the location of the infiltration.,

Then..."

After Deidara finished reading, he calmly turned over the test paper and wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. He smiled evilly.

No.

What the hell is this question? I've never heard of this kind of question before. Are Konoha's guys all learning this in school? Can learning this teach them how to kill people? How did they survive in the battle arena?

Deidara cursed in his heart.

The other examinees also had strange expressions. Some of them who were good at imagining things immediately felt that the lord was definitely not casually asking these questions. The words and actions of those characters all had their own meaning. If they could learn a little, they might be able to enjoy it for life.

Something like bad taste was absolutely impossible.

"Is this to convey his teaching philosophy?"

"No, it's not that simple. Could it be that the reason why Konoha was able to give birth to so many geniuses was because of their intelligence? This matter has to be reported to the village..."

Many examinees silently remembered this matter in their hearts.

Crash!

In the silent classroom, where only the sound of writing could be heard.

Suddenly, there was the sound of flipping the test paper. The key sound was very loud.

Many people looked up in shock and saw Deidara with a mysterious smile on his face. He began to do the questions on the second page enigmatically.

This?

As expected of the super genius of Iwa ninja Village. We haven't even finished reading the questions in such a short period of time, but this person has already flipped the page ? !

It was fine if he was strong, but was his intelligence so terrifying?

Everyone was incomparably shocked, awed, and jealous.

Even Uchiha Itachi couldn't help but look over, his expression slightly moved.

When Deidara met Itachi's gaze, he only smiled coldly and had a confident appearance. This caused a sense of urgency to appear in Itachi's heart.

"It seems that I have underestimated the geniuses of the other villages... It is not good to think that I am a little arrogant after receiving Lord Yuuji's guidance and nurturing."

Itachi felt a chill in his heart, and he felt pain in his heart.

When Itachi glanced at Deidara, he panicked.

What do you mean? This person... what are you looking at me for? he wants to use an illusion to control me and then copy my test paper? Then won't I be exposed !!

Deidara hurriedly looked away, suspicious, wondering if he was under an illusion.

On the second page, the intelligence analysis question.

"Hmph, I am familiar with this! The intelligence analysis is my second forte..."

Deidara looked at the question.

"During Warring States Period's time, the various great Ninja clans used the method of accepting the employment of various countries as the foundation for them to settle down. Including the Senju clan and Uchiha clan, the Ninja clan all used the method of taking commission to maintain the existence of the clan. This established a foundation for the later Ninja village. However, the employment system itself was responsible for the task of maximizing the benefits. Moreover, it was facing a complicated reality situation. This made the employment system become a system that had the upper hand in the nature of tools, developing towards a trend of non-value judgment."

"Ask: According to this text, we can know:"

"'A. Value determines less and less restrictions on the employment system."

"'B. Ancient employment system does not face complicated reality situations."

"'C. Warring States Period, the employment system is a system that determines value as the core."

"'D. The change in reality has destroyed the cooperation point between the employer and the ninja."

"???"

It was finally time to choose the question.

But the problem was...

What was this!

Intelligence analysis? Shouldn't intelligence analysis be after seizing the other party's intelligence and analyzing the other party's military strength and logistics? Or analyzing which genius or clan in the other party's village has a conflict and can be used.

Deidara was completely stunned. He stared at the four options for a long time and hesitated. He felt that every one was right.

But this was a single choice question.

After staring for a while, Deidara suddenly put down his pen and let out a sneer.

"Hmph, hmph, hmph, hmph, hmph..."

A low, cold laugh suddenly rang out in the classroom.

Shirakumo's face sank. "Noises are prohibited in the exam grounds. Or do you want to be expelled from the exam grounds?"

If not for Lord Yuuji, he would have driven Deidara out long ago.

Shirakumo was the Jounin of the village, and he was appointed by Yuuji to be in charge of the first examination, so he naturally understood some things.

For example, Deidara was sent to Root's department after making a ruckus on the streets, but he was released intact - at least on the surface, there was no curse seal in his brain, which was not something that Shirakumo could see early on.

With Shirakumo's head, he immediately thought that Lord Yuuji already knew Deidara's name and might have achieved something. He had no reason to expel Deidara and get involved in this muddy water.

Shirakumo was a low-key person and did not like to cause trouble, let alone provoke Yuuji.

That was courting death.

Deidara closed his mouth, but his expression was still full of sarcasm.

In the eyes of others, this was clearly the meaning of "this question is so simple, how can Konoha have the nerve to take it out to test me, a super genius".

They couldn't sit still.

Time passed, and the two hours of examination were already more than half over.

Many people looked at the test papers with empty eyes and dull faces. In the face of these unheard of test questions, it was extremely difficult for them to do it.

On the contrary, the first question was the simplest.

As time went by, some people could not hold it in.

Under the surveillance of the surrounding examinations, they began to make small movements.

Some of Aburame's clan directly controlled the insects to quietly climb onto other people's tables to peek at the test papers.

Suna ninja's hands carefully controlled the fine sand, looking for an opportunity.

The ninjas of each village began to move one after another.

Someone on Kirigakure's side became anxious.

In the Kimimaro team, Chojuro and Haku were the very obedient kind, and they could answer some serious questions.

However, the captain Kimimaro was a bit finished.

He grew up in the crazy Kaguya clan, and the education he received since childhood was to fight and fight, even if he had to die with the enemy, he still had to rush up to fight.

Where had he learned how to do the questions?

Kimimaro saw that the others had already made their moves, and the surrounding examiners turned a blind eye to the examinees who had used good ninjutsu, as if they were blind and ignored their cheating behavior.

On the contrary, they directly accepted the names of the examinees who were clumsy and even jokingly passing small notes, and began to expel them.

At this time, people like Kimimaro had already understood the methods of this examination.

"So that's how it is. No wonder Kimimaro said earlier that' You are not allowed to be found cheating by me and the examiner. 'By using Ninjutsu, you are also part of collecting information." Kimimaro felt that he had to do something, but he couldn't do anything.

After thinking about it, he simply reached out and put his hand on the back of his neck.

"Wait, Kirigakure's white-haired examinee, what are you doing!"

"Sensei, I'm scratching an itch."

"I understand that you are scratching an itch, but why did you pull out your spine?!"

"My bones are very itchy. I usually tickle them like this." When Kimimaro saw that he had been discovered, he immediately stuffed half of his spine back in.

This move made everyone jump in fright.

Was this terror of Kaguya's clan? If it was someone else doing this, they would have died a long time ago. However, Kaguya's clan was able to control their own bones at will and could willfully insert them.

Kimimaro felt very unlucky. The attempt to cheat failed.

"If only I knew how to use the Ten-Finger Combo. I could directly create bones from the fingertips. Maybe I could contact Haku and the others."

Kimimaro felt a little regretful.

The Ten-Finger Combo was a technique that directly shot out bullets like bones from the fingertips. It was sudden and penetrating, and could be called a great killing weapon.

Unfortunately, Kimimaro was only 10 years old and had not learned it.

At this time.

Crash!

An almost inaudible voice was heard. A mirror made of ice quietly appeared on the table of Kimimaro.

An image of an exam paper appeared on it.

"Haku? The people of the Yuki clan are reliable." Kimimaro was surprised for a moment and immediately began to copy.

When he came to Konoha, he had prepared for battle. He had thought that he could crush everyone, but he did not expect that he almost could not even pass the written test.

An hour later, out of the 129 examinees, 37 were expelled from the stage, leaving 92 people.

Most of the people who were expelled were teams sent by the small Ninja Village.

"There are still so many people left... I wonder what the elimination rate of the written test is? Half? Two thirds?"

The remaining people waited anxiously for the result.

"You bastards, I have tolerated you for a long time. Who placed bugs on my table when I was taking the exam? Who blinded my eyes with sand? I want to teach you a lesson."

The super genius of a certain Iwa ninja village was extremely angry, jumping up and down, his figure extremely miserable.

It was clear that the Deidara whose performance was bulging out had received the attention of everyone.

It almost exposed the fact that he was a bad student. Fortunately, Deidara's strength and sense of smell were too strong, stopping wave after wave of people who tried to peek at his test papers.

It was actually useless to look at it, he handed in almost a white roll.

After a while, the results of the written test came out.

92 people, 30 people were directly eliminated, which was much better than many people expected.

Just as the examinees who passed the written test did not know whether they should rejoice or worry, they immediately received a notice for the second test.

That lord was already waiting for them at the examination point.

"If we use this place as an examination venue, it will be very interesting, Dark Forest..."

Under the crowd of Konoha Ninjas, Yuuji looked up at the incomparably deep forest in front of him.

This was a forest that he had created with his false identity. Any single leaf from it was enough to instantly cut off flesh and blood.

"It will be very exciting to have a team battle here, right? It will probably kill many people..."
