Shinobi Exam: First Question, Why Was Akatsuki Destroyed?

Chapter 74 - 74. Punishment, Reward, And Examination System Upgrade.

Exam space, the yellow light glowed, and the answer privilege arrived again at the yellow group.

For a time, all the people who watched the live broadcast gathered their eyes there. As they all know, this was the last answer for this make-up exam.

If the yellow group answered it successfully, they would be the second and last group to pass the make-up exam successfully.

If they failed to answer the question, only the brown group would be the one to succeed in the make-up exam.

Everyone looked at the yellow group expectantly, and some people were focusing on Sasori, who didn't say much during the whole process.

Hopefully, he would step up to the plate and save the day as Deidara did.

After all, if only one of the seven groups succeeded in the make-up exam, they would all feel ashamed.

"Chiyo-sama ..."

Baki, from Sunagakure, was about to cry for fear that Chiyo would throw the question at him again.

He called Chiyo's name softly, and the grievance in his voice seemed like a dog begging to his master.

He had it too hard...

'I really have nothing to do with the death of the Fourth Kazekage. Why are you torturing me so much?'

Baki was driven crazy by pressure.

He had already answered two questions incorrectly, and if he answered it incorrectly again, he would be so ashamed that he would resign from being a Jōnin of Suna.

Hearing Baki's voice, Chiyo didn't even lift her eyelids.

As a strong person who had experienced the shinobi world war, her means were much harsher than Baki could have imagined.

Since Baki had deceived her about the collusion between the Fourth Kazekage and Orochimaru, it was time to pummel him and let him know that there were times when he should know his position and get his head out of his ass.

Of course, now that Sunagakure was in need of people, Chiyo wouldn't go too far. Now that Baki had given in, Chiyo gave up on the idea of telling Baki to answer.

After all, this was broadcasted live to the whole shinobi world, and everyone was watching them. If Baki were pushed too hard, she would also lose some respect in Sunagakure.

"We, Sunagakure, give up on this question."

Chiyo's words surprised everyone, and even Baki and the other Suna shinobi behind her. They couldn't help looking at Chiyo with horror.

Baki, in particular, would like to keep quiet and wait for Chiyo to answer the question by herself...

At the very least, there was a chance that she might also be incorrect!

"Give up?"

"Why give up?"

"Even if they're pretending, at least try, right?"

No one understood the significance of Chiyo's actions.

Ōnoki and the Raikage, as well as Shimura Danzō and two of Konoha's Hokage advisors, were now looking at Chiyo's choice with a sense of wonder.

"Haha, I never thought that you could still have this kind of backbone at this age."

Ōnoki watched the yellow light disappear. No one knew if it was mockery or admiration in his tone.

Sometimes, handing in a blank piece of paper was also a kind of courage. A courage that others couldn't match.

As the yellow group gave up on their answer, the make-up exam officially ended, and a series of words appeared on the screen above the exam space.

[The correct answer to this question: Uzumaki Boruto.]

[The make-up exam is over. This make-up exam included seven groups, a total of 62,111 people.]

[The group that passed: Yellow group, 43 people.]

[The rest of the examinees failed the make-up exam.]

[Penalty for failing the make-up exam: Make-up exam opportunity reduced by one/ Random ability is reduced by one.]

Hum ~

With the disappearance of words, the six colors, except for brown, flashed together in the space. Immediately afterward, everyone who had been flashed by the light found that they seemed to be missing something.

It was a strange feeling, and they hadn't figured out what they were missing, but... there was indeed something missing!

"Hey? How did I suddenly forget how to do the Great Fireball Technique?"

"It's over. It's over. My Bloodline Limit is gone..."

"Where's my C-rank Wind Release?"

"My eyes are gone!"

"My chakra is gone too!"

A cry of astonishment rang out, and everyone's faces changed at the same time. They all rushed to look through their abilities and find what was taken away from them.

"Killer B, what was taken from you?"

"Brother, my swordsmanship, my Seven Swords Dance was taken away!"

"What about you, Darui?"

"My chakra armor was taken away, and now I've forgotten how to use it."

After listening to the answers of the two people behind him, the Fourth Raikage's worried heart was put down. He was actually afraid that this exam space would take away the Hachibi.

Fortunately, he only lost a B-rank Lightning Release. Killer B and Darui only lost chakra armor and sword techniques. Although they were very important, they could still train them again.

It just took more time.

  ....

"Tsunade-sama, what's the matter with you?"

Shizune was relieved to find that only her chakra scalpel had been taken away; chakra blade training was relatively simple, and in about a month, she would be back to her original level.

"I ... my phobia ... is gone ..."

Tsunade's expression was torn at this moment.

'Are my vows really that effective?'

Just after betting on her phobia, it disappeared in the blink of an eye...

Tsunade suddenly had an idea of betting against any problems in the future...

She glanced at Jiraiya, who was looking left and right and was momentarily lost in thought.

'Could this be... fate?'

  .....

Coincidentally, in the red group, Hyūga Neji resisted the excitement in his heart and didn't let himself show any abnormality.

'His eyes, his eyes....'

The one yelling like that was behind him just now, and he could see it!

But for him, it was the Caged Bird! The Curse Mark- Caged Bird that had plagued him for years, was gone!

'It's gone just like that!'

  ...

For the Iwa shinobi, after listening to the penalty from the exam space, they all turned their grateful eyes towards Deidara.

If it weren't for Deidara, they would have been punished the same way.

In particular, in Konoha, someone screamed that their Bloodline Limit had disappeared, making them more aware that the examination space took away more than just irrelevant low-level jutsu.

Listening to the gratitude and praise around him, the corners of Deidara's eyebrows danced wildly, a sign of fury.

  .....

At the same time, Ryuji, who had been suppressing his presence in the blue group, suddenly had a projection of the exam system in his eyes.

[The make-up exam is over, and the host will receive payback from the make-up exam penalties.]

[Host acquired Genin chakra.]

[Host acquired beginner puppet manipulation.]

[Host acquired hemophobia.]

[Host acquired Curse Mark: Caged Bird.]

[Host acquired low-level seduction technique.]

[Host acquired beginner combat experience.]

[Host acquired beginner sword techniques.]

[Host acquired beginner kunai throwing skills.]

  ...

Ryuji was dazzled by a series of rewards. In the blink of an eye, he had obtained countless rewards.

In other words, even he didn't know what he was capable of.

Just as Ryuji was confused, the system screen in his eyes suddenly came to a halt. Then, continued with:

[The exam system is being upgraded ...]

[Upgrade completed.]

[In this upgrade, new examination modes are added: Survival exam, reading comprehension exam, group arena exam, and observation exam...]

[Upgrade benefit: Host receives system conversion reward+5%.]

[Upgrade reward: Extended version of the survival exam may be opened.]

"How many times could the extended version of the survival exam be open?"

Ryuji's heart stirred, and he quickly looked at the analysis.

[Extended version of the survival exam: single-player mode, the maximum number of examinees is 101, the map is random ...]

Ryuji looked at the analysis twice, and he realized, wasn't this the battle-royal game he once played?!

It used to be only 100 shirtless people who went in to pick up guns, but now it was 100 shinobi without any ability, who had to go in and pick up jutsu, physical skills, physique, or whatever.

After the continuous killing, upgrading oneself and ability, the last person wins.

The so-called extended version meant that in this examination, there were only rewards, no punishment. People above a certain ranking would be rewarded. The higher the ranking, the more generous the reward.

Because it was an examination, any injury or death in the exam space won't affect reality.

And the reason there was an extra person was because that person was chosen!

The so-called 'Chosen One' meant that this person had all their current abilities. They would be located at the center of the map, and everyone could challenge them before the finals began.

The challenge time was 3 minutes. During this period, the challenger could challenge with his own strength or the ability gained in the exam.

A successful attempt would result in a huge reward, and a failed attempt, or 3 minutes later, the Chosen One's status would reset.

To put it bluntly, there was a gladiator arena in the middle of the battle-royal map. Moreover, the system would also specify the master of the arena.

"System, you're really stingy!"

Seeing the name of the chosen person, Ryuji's mouth cracked.

With this person around, it was impossible for the others to win this challenge!

Ryuji shook his head and let the system directly take advantage of the fact that the make-up exam wasn't over yet, to select the examinees and open this extended version of the survival exam in 3 days.
