adding on to what you have stated. our boy here should be able to realize that his sensei was obviously just using aya as a excuse to hold a test that he already stated he is "supposed" to be doing anyway by village regulation. somthing which he cant just ignore cause he didnt feel like it. especially when his personality seems so loyal to the leaf. it's already in doubt he would ignore such a basic rule. he should be able to understand that his sensai simply jumped on the opportunity to cause a bit of discord among them the question is of course, why? why does he want to cause discord? thinking on that and the knowledge he has regarding kahona ninja teams and the history of them being in three person squads he should be able to come to the resonable conclusion the discord sewn is to increase the chance of failure. therefor the most obvious way to go is to help not just aya but the entire team. suggest to both teammates that we should plan together and know each others strengths and weaknesses along with checking to see if you can gather any information about your sensei regardless of how well liked you are. you are in fact a member of the hyuga they should be able to give you information about your sensei. after all it would be a sign of weakness if they did not already have knowledge on this.

favorite food: Xiao long Bao, a dumpling filled with a light soup, traditionally made with pork. normally served with black vinegar as a side sauce  "Traditional, light, and technique  oriented in making …and perhaps the only food I actually know how to make myself…not that I'm too great at it at least just yet"  – favorite thing to do :  "though I have not played in front of many if any at all.. I've always found playing the Koto a comfort. originally I learned it from my mother… it's one of the few skills I learned before I could use my byakugan truely. as tradition to this day I have never used it while playing.  – dream for the future: "my dream is to bring change to the hyuga…they are…blinded i suppose you could say by tradition and pride…I must become strong. strong enough for them to listen. The hyuga will never get any stronger if we continue to stay stagnant. innovation….I want to bring innovation to the hyuga"  side goal: become strongest hyuga lol

+1 if you want to talk about basics? body enhancement is key to future endeavors assuming we stick to the stupid no nin or gen rule if the hyuga getting our body up to par is important being good at the gentle fist means nothing without enough speed, endurance and power to withstand battle. now if we are able to combine rock-Lee-esk body conditioning with the technique and prodigy capabilities of the gentle fist of neji. well we will be fairly well off not that I think we should ignore nin and gen or atleast not genjutsu. after all no one needs to know we are using genjutsu. using it to shift perception and messing with peoples senses makes the most sense. main things : Gentlefist, body conditioning support : sensor training and genjutsu training every edge in a fight is important as someone so logical he should see that. as long as no clan members discovers his genjutsu usage. well things could go quite well of course this is only speaking of combat related abilities plus sensor training which can fit into combat and none combat capabilities. also genjutsu will branch us out in a way we need. versatility is important

+1 While I would love to put it on any other body part. having it on the forehead can be of use for misdirection no matter how minor. allowing us to act as if we are a part of the branch family and subservient in most things. it will also slightly decrease though not by much the target we would be for our eyes. people arent just going to know we are blind so them assuming we are branch family no matter how minor a benefit is still a benefit. atleast that's all I can give for any logical reasoning. and while some may disapprove of such a thing. we have enough of a weakness already. we must hide ourselves in lies big and small. make it harder for people to see underneath the underneath. atleast that is my thoughts

+1 and though most were blind. let it be known that I was not. that I saw somthing just beyond my comprehension. and yet I looked deeper.

+1 the bird was free in all but heart though its soul would always be caged

ironically being pragmatic by choosing this +1

I enjoy the thought of this look for them

+1 A is More then resonable of a request. I hold no objections. Team unity is important. We have worked to hard to make the team function to ruin it with a lie that will get out or a decision not agreed upon by one of the few people we have as friends and True Allies

+1 I didnt put much thought to this one but shinji being shinji should make it clear that even though she can join them his team cant be held back or harmed because she couldent keep up or anything she is but a second no a fourth priority compared to everything else

C target any none leaf team by using genjutsu on the weakest link of said team sabotage them use this on kabuto's team aswell he played games with us let's play games with him all none leaf teams have to go and so does kabuto. it's just business if we can get sayuri to help us with this well all the better while shinji cant Meta we can and this is one of those times I think we should we can possibly get rid of sand, grass (orochimaru), water, rain?, leaf (kabuto), and any other teams in the first round? we might be made chunin just for that if we arent caught

I am choosing B C is also acceptable but not my favored A is a waste and unlikely to work and D ss well... fine but inaction is the same as taking a action

A due to the political problems that would arise by not stopping the last uchiha from the risk of dying. frankly our hands are tied even if in meta we know things should in theory be fine we cant risk it. any compatent nina that understands what the last uchiha can do for the village and the political fall out that would occure by not even attempting to save the last uchiha none the less a fellow leaf nin. frankly would be suicide and while I understand its unlikely to truely be shinji's downfall I feel like he would be aware enough to do what is expected of him from the village whole a coma is acceptable we cant risk him dying the choice is A and just because we save him does not mean we cant make it clear it's because it's what is expected not what we wanted or could have done instead

I am choosing C. I'm well aware most people will choose A or B for a multitude of reasons. most being that they want to prove shinji's power or rush his advancement. I'd like everyone to remember just what this chunin exam is. while many will disagree with saratobi for saying it is a replacement for war. for this specific chunin exam it's true. threats are everywhere threats shinji isnt exactly capable of dealing with none the less Kota or even sayuri even if we dont know all her capabilities its likely she is not prepared for if we face Garra of the sand none the less the other threats such as a literal sannin. sure we could glaze by never run into these power houses. but we also could and its frankly not worth it. Kota needs time the first kill can usually take weeks of time to get over and as his teammate we should support him. also it just gives us a larger period to train as I'm sure many of you will want to focus on. we do after all have to deal with a invasion which involves the killing of a kage and giant snake of destruction. where previous kages are raised literally from the grave to fight against kahona. we need to be prepared for the future. this holds credit to the fact. if shinji shows enough skill he doesnt really need the chunin exams. frankly once again people are misconstrued. Genin is just a rank not a power ranking or skill ranking. it's a general term. not applyable to everyone labeled as it to be called weak there is no legatiamate way the village would not make us chunin eventually even if we do not participate in this specific chunin exam this is my answer to the current vote please consider C

A I dont want to brew shinji into a unfeeling machine or anything but it is sort of the best option here While I'd love to pick Sadness because it would probably be good for him to have some reaction the truth is. shinji has always been aware if what being a ninja entails and weather or not he actually prepared himself it doesnt matter this is how shinji has always thought if you think out it. by all regards . plus shinji is merciless to those who are enemies of himself and in this situation where kota could die if we arent clear headed shinji really doesnt have time to be weighed down by feelings. so sure while I'm choosing this for shinji and kota with how shinji has developed through this quest to this point. A is over all the best choice for the future. not perfect but the best short term possibly long term if we had the choice I'd have shinji vist a yamanaka just to help assure him that it is okay to feel indifferent because that might freak him out a little once his adrenaline has calmed down . this is affecting shinji long term. it will be a trait A will cause some problems but not as many as the others would long term

+1

B for the reason... its relaxing and its training sort of playing shogi is I belived confirmed to raise intelligence though I feel we are risking a vist from donzo raising intelligence could be amazing anyway that's my simple awnser. usually I'd push more but the fact that we are gaining intelligence and thus more options in the future should be enough all the others besides A isnt that great no training wait till we have money from the C rank too go out with sayuri and I dont want any of us to ruin things with more training he needs a break a genuine break of sorts and while I called shogi training it really is just a game the +intelligence is just a bonus

reflex training may be a useful thing to do while training please consider it and add it to your vote if you think so aswell

+1

Hello people of web novel and SV it has come to my attention that by picking option A it is possible for shinji to become unstable and quite literally hurt himself. while I'm all for training and getting shinji to max power we need to consider his mental and physical health. will power can only get us so far before both mind and body shut down please consider one of the other options B and C are all valid choices which can still boost shinji's prowess extreemly! so please take a second to reconsider.
