"How could it be? Those 9 questions have already accomplished their purpose." A treacherous smile appeared on Ibixi's face, "The purpose is to test the intelligence gathering ability of each of you."

Naruto was stunned for a moment, then reacted: "Intelligence gathering ability? So, if the exam includes those 9 questions, wouldn't I fail?" He was secretly glad in his heart, but he felt novel about this examination method, "

You can still see this ability when you cheat! Strong, really strong!"

Ibiki seemed to be very satisfied with Naruto's reaction. He continued: "First of all, the key to this exam is the three-person total score system that was explained at the beginning. This gives you the pressure of fear of delaying your companions. However, these

The question is not one that you genin can easily answer. Therefore, everyone will come to the conclusion that only by cheating can you score points. In other words, this exam is predicated on cheating."

Everyone showed expressions of sudden realization. Ibiki looked at their expressions and continued: "In order to give you a goal, I have arranged for two chuunin who know the answer to sit among you. However, those who are not clever enough to cheat will

You can only lose the qualification to take the exam. Why? Because information is sometimes more important than life."

Speaking of this, Yibixi suddenly took off his hat, revealing the shocking scar on his head. Everyone exclaimed and speculated on the origin of the scar. Yibixi put on the hat, and his voice became low and serious: "

I ask you to remember this. Because if you get the wrong information, your companions and the village will suffer a devastating blow. Therefore, we have no choice but to use cheating to test your intelligence gathering ability, and use cheating to test your ability to collect intelligence.

Those who are eliminated.”

There was silence in the examination room, with only Ibixi's voice echoing. Everyone fell into deep thought and began to reflect on their performance in the examination.

"But, I still don't understand the purpose of question 10." A voice suddenly broke the silence, it was Hinata. She bravely stood up and raised her own question.

Ibiki looked at Hinata, with a glimmer of admiration in his eyes: "Actually, question 10 is the real question of this exam." He paused and continued, "The first 9 questions are just to get you into trouble.

The dilemma of cheating exposes your shortcomings in intelligence collection. And question 10 is to test whether you can stick to your beliefs and make the right choices when facing tremendous pressure."

"What? Question 10 is a test of our faith?" Naruto asked in surprise.

"That's right." Yibixi nodded, "In this exam, you not only have to face the difficulty of the questions, but also the suspicion, competition and your own fears among your peers. And question 10 is to

See if you can stick to your own path when facing these pressures and not be disturbed by the outside world. This is the quality that a ninja should truly possess."

Everyone fell silent. They began to realize that this exam was not only a test of knowledge and skills, but also a baptism of souls and beliefs. Everyone made a decision silently in their hearts, no matter what the result was.

, they must stick to their own path and move forward courageously.

As Ibiki's explanation deepened, the candidates gradually understood the true meaning of this exam. They began to re-examine themselves and their companions. In this exam, they not only learned how to collect intelligence, but also learned

How to face difficulties and how to stick to their faith. This will be their precious wealth to become outstanding ninjas in the future.

"What does this mean?" one candidate asked doubtfully, obviously confused by the choice of question 10.

Ibixi took a deep breath and slowly explained: "Let me explain in detail. Question 10 is to choose whether to accept the test. This is indeed a very difficult question to make. It seems unreasonable, but sometimes,

The missions we face will not be abandoned due to lack of intelligence or fear of the death of our companions."

He looked around, his eyes passing over each candidate's face, as if observing their reaction. Then, he continued: "You who have accepted the test questions should also be able to overcome various difficulties that will arise in the future. This is question 10

The real significance of this is that it tests your determination and courage."

Having said this, Ibiki paused and gave the candidates some time to digest. Then, he announced: "The first round of the Chunin Selection Examination is over. I hope you will continue to work hard!"
