Naruto: Konoha’s Kanpu

“The First Stage Written Exam has started.”

On the rooftop of the Academy's teaching building, Minato, Hiruzen, Eagle, and Kanpū are gathering together, intensely focused on watching a crystal ball.

Inside the crystal ball was the examination site where Naruto and the others were located.

Under Hiruzen’s control, the image in the crystal ball slowly shifted to focus on Naruto.

Next to him, Minato’s expression immediately became somewhat nervous.

The nine questions of this exam were all at the hellish level. Given Naruto's grades, he probably couldn't even write a word besides his own name.

Fortunately, the purpose of this exam wasn't just to test the theoretical knowledge of Genin, but also to test their ability to gather intelligence!

So, among the hundred-plus examinees, two were Chunin Examiners who would write down the correct answers during the exam. And the rest depended on the abilities of the examinees.

Of course, if cheating is discovered, then the cheater and their teammates will be disqualified from the exam!

Compared to Minato and the others who were focused on the exam, Kanpū is much simpler. He is only interested in crystal balls, or in other words, in Hiruzen’s ‘peeping technique’.

‘Should I give it a try?’

Speaking of which, Kanpū hadn't collected anything for a long time since obtaining Tenseigan!

‘The days without collection are soulless.’

Kanpū couldn't resist the temptation, and a Collection Technique was thrown at Hiruzen.

The green light cluster in his mind quickly surged, but soon subsided.

Collection failed.

Kanpū glanced at Hiruzen with a look of disgust, ‘Stingy guy, not even allowing his peeping technique to be collected, bad review!

……

In the large classroom.

Naruto looked at the pristine exam paper, then calmly closed his eyes.

‘Kurama Kurama Kurama Kurama…’

Naruto muttered frantically in his mind.

“Shut up, you brat!!!” Kurama complained discontentedly.

“Do me a little favor.” Naruto laughed sheepishly.

‘Ask for my help?’

‘You've got to be kidding me?’

Kurama sneered, “How could I possibly help you? Stop joking around!”

“As long as you help me, I'll promise you anything!” Naruto said earnestly, issuing an empty promise.

Hearing this, Kurama sneered again and again, ‘Naruto’s mouth, lies like a fox!’

“Kurama, please~~” Naruto looked pitifully at Kurama when he didn't respond promptly.

Kurama, with a heart of stone, turned his head away.

After asking for a while to no avail, Naruto was furious, ‘This stinky fox is not easy to fool!’

Opening his eyes again, Naruto's calm demeanor had completely disappeared. He lowered his head and looked towards Sasuke on the left with a troubled look, then saw that this guy has activated Sharingan and was shamelessly imitating someone else's writing actions.

Naruto watched as Sasuke's paper filled up more and more, feeling a tinge of envy in his heart.

Then, he looked to his right at Karin, who was biting her pen, writing intermittently on her paper.

Then, Naruto listened carefully and heard countless ‘scratch, scratch, scratch’ writing sounds coming from all directions.

At this moment, Naruto felt like he had been abandoned by the whole world!

‘Can all of you do it?’

‘Are these questions all so easy for you?’

‘Isn't anyone else as much of a slacker as me?

Naruto felt uncomfortable, aggrieved, and unwilling.

If this continued, he would end up with a blank paper!

But what Naruto didn't know was that the people around him were actually similar to Sasuke, each displaying their own unique abilities, frantically copying others' papers.

Gaara used sand to condense a sand eye under the ceiling to peek at other people's papers.

Shino releases insect to peek at other people’s papers.

Akamaru, lying on Kiba's head, looked around and also shamelessly peeked at other people's papers.

Neji activated his Byakugan to see through others' bodies.

Ino is even more ruthless. He even used Mind Secret Technique to let her mind enter Hinata’s body, then justly and honorably read her test papers. After that, she used Mind Secret Technique to take possession of Shikamaru and Choji’s bodies, intimately help them to complete the exam.

‘It’s so simple…’ As Akimichi Choji looked at his fully answered exam paper, he felt happy and couldn't help but think about snacking on some potato chips to fill his stomach.

Of course, there were also some examinees who were so low as to blatantly peek around or pass cheat sheets. However, they were mercilessly expelled from the exam room by the proctoring Chunin Examiners for cheating too blatantly.

With less than ten minutes left until the end of the written exam, Naruto also looked away at this time. He calmly placed his pen on the desk, not caring about submitting a blank paper. After all, he couldn't pass, and neither could Sasuke.

And even as a Genin, as long as Kanpū is there, he believed that he can still reach the pinnacle of the Shinobi World!

‘Who's afraid of whom!’

At this point, Sasuke had already finished copying, but seeing Naruto's behavior, he was furious!

‘I have finished answering all the questions with great difficulty… I won't be dragged down and unable to pass this exam because of this idiot, will I?’

‘What a joke!’

Sasuke gritted his teeth and struggled for a while. Finally, he couldn't help but spread out his exam paper and lightly tapped the table with his pen, signaling for Naruto to copy a bit.

Naruto glanced at him, disdainfully rolled his eyes, and looked up at the ceiling.

‘I won’t copy!’

‘I am mad at you!’

Sasuke was so angry upon seeing this. If it wasn't because they’re still being in the middle of the exam, he would have fight Naruto to the death!

…

On the rooftop of the teaching building, seeing Naruto's performance, Minato and Hiruzen exchanged bitter smiles.

“Naruto really has the same stubbornness as Kushina.” Hiruzen said.

“Let's hope it's just that.”

Nobody understands one’s son better than his father. At this moment, Minato feels that Naruto still didn't realize that cheating was allowed in this exam.

‘What a worrying kid.’

‘Fortunately, there was still the last question in this exam. With Naruto's character, he would definitely pass.’

Minato relaxed at this thought.

Meanwhile, Kanpū silently threw out the second Collection Technique.

The green light cluster surged, and then stopped again.

Kanpū couldn’t help but greet Hiruzen’s whole family in his mind.

‘Huh?’

Hiruzen turned to look at Kanpū, feeling a wave of malice coming from him for some reason.

……

Inside the large classroom.

As the final moments approached, the chief examiner, Ibiki, finally began the assessment of the last question. He started with a threat, “Examinees and their teammates who are eliminated in the tenth question will no longer be able to participate in the Chunin Exams! In other words, you will all remain Genin in the future!”

Upon hearing this, almost all of the examinees were instantly filled with fear.

But then, there was a strange voice.

Gaara disdainfully snorted, ‘Even if I can no longer participate in the Chunin Exams held by Konoha in the future, can't I still participate in the Chunin Exams held by my own village?’

‘Can Konoha influence Sunagakure’s Chunin Exams?’

‘Stop scaring me!’

Temari and Kankuro also curled their lips to express their disdain.

Suigetsu even laughed very heartily, “Hey hey, are you serious? Although I plan to be promoted to Chunin as the first place this year, if I unfortunately fail, do you think Konoha can influence Kirigakure’s Chunin Exams? I'd like to see you give it a try!”

“Suigetsu-san, please say less.” His teammate, Haku, who is sitting next to him, gently spoke up.

With Suigetsu’s interruption, the Shinobi from other villages were all shaken, ‘Yeah, what he said makes sense. Even though Konoha is the largest village in the Shinobi World, can they still influence the internal affairs of Kirigakure, Sunagakure, Takigakure, Kusagakure, and Otogakure?’

‘Who do they think they are?’

Ibiki stared at Suigetsu and frowned, ‘This guy is very annoying.’

He looked around and found that except for the Konoha’s Shinobi, the Shinobi from the other villages were all calm and fearless, looking at him directly.

Fortunately, the Konoha’s Shinobi were all trembling with fear. After all, while Shinobi from other villages could leave, they couldn't!

If the Hokage agrees with Ibiki, then once they were eliminated in the tenth question, they might not be able to participate in the Chunin Exams again.

Seeing the frightened expressions on their faces, Ibiki nodded slightly.

The tenth question was originally a test of the team's coordination. Ibiki didn't care about the teams from other villages. As long as he could hone his own village's Shinobi, it was enough!

So he continued nonchalantly, “If you voluntarily give up, you can still participate in the next Chunin Exams!”

First, he threatened and intimidated, then he tempted with benefits, and finally, he released the terrifying aura he got after interrogating a lot of criminals. After this series of manipulations, several more examinees were scared away, and their teams were all eliminated!

Moreover, their departure seemed to trigger some kind of chain reaction, with more and more Konoha’s examinees feeling uneasy, on the verge of dropping out.

At this moment, Naruto, who had a blank paper, finally rebounded. With a ‘whoosh’, he stood up from his seat, excitedly yelling and using his Talk-no-Jutsu.

“Don't underestimate me! I will never give up! Even if I fail, even if I can only be a Genin for the rest of my life, I will stand at the pinnacle of the Shinobi world and show you! I will do as I say, this is my way of the Shinobi, Namikaze Naruto's Ninja Way!”

Naruto’s words were like a thunderclap, striking the hesitant Shinobi directly in their hearts, and completely ended the exam.

After a while, Ibiki smiled slowly: “Congratulations, you have passed my exam!”
