Some candidates are confused.

"Yes, it seems like a simple question of whether to take the test or not. In fact, it is not just a test, but the attitude of the ninja when performing tasks. Guys who are not determined will not be qualified to become ninjas at all. Compared with

Those candidates who are caught cheating are even more disgraceful."

Ibixi's eyes gradually became colder, and when he mentioned these candidates, he gave an "extremely poor" evaluation.

The genin candidates are thinking about the meaning.

"Guys who don't even dare to gamble in 'life'. Once such people set foot on the battlefield, they will definitely be the first choice for deserters. They are simply garbage in the ninja world. Since you have become genin, it means that no matter how difficult it is for you,

You must grit your teeth and complete the mission, instead of feeling sorry for yourself. People who cannot bring courage and trust to their companions are not worthy of the position of chuunin squad leader!"

Listening to the jounin's life motto of Ibiki, although some parts are too harsh to agree with, there is one sentence that is right.

Those who cannot bring courage and trust to their companions are indeed not qualified to become chuunin.

Many candidates who passed the tenth question in a daze never thought that a simple written test would involve so many test points.

Especially for the genin who choose not to take the tenth question of the third test point, this test will definitely become an indelible stain in their lives.

They deeply understood the cruelty of the Chunin Exam.

"That means we have passed the exam now, right?"

One candidate couldn't help but ask.

Yibixi shook his head and said with a smile: "No, the test just now can only prove that you answered the tenth question correctly, and each person will get one positive score. As for whether you can pass the level, there are elimination rules for the total score and the average score.

If you can stand out from those two areas, you will truly pass the first exam."

Hearing Ibixi's words, the excited candidates immediately calmed down and then remembered that the answers they just answered were only the answers to the tenth question. As for the elimination rules, two of them had not yet been implemented.

As Ibiki said, ability and mentality are the main purposes of this exam.

They may have passed the mental test, but if their abilities are not up to par, they will still be eliminated.

"But don't be discouraged. Even if you fail this exam, you have learned a lot of useful things from this exam. This will become a valuable experience in your life. As long as you keep holding on to this fearless strength,

Mentality is half the battle on the road to chunin."

Seeing some frustrated candidates, Ibixi encouraged them, so that the candidates looked at him with less disgusting eyes than at first.

"Then, you can leave the examination room. Now we have to collect the test papers and correct them. At two o'clock in the afternoon, we will announce the list of those who passed the first exam on the bulletin board of the Ninja School."

Finally, Ibixi said these words, which also meant that the first exam was truly over.

Under the arrangements of the invigilators, all candidates left Classroom 301 in an orderly manner.

Hyuga family.

"Father."

After the first exam, Neji and Rock Lee, who was on the same team, separated every day and returned to the family to say hello to his father Hyuuga Hizashi.

"Looking at you, the first exam should go well."

Seeing that Neji had passed the baptism of the first exam without any worry in his eyes, Hizashi held a tea cup in his hand, sat on a soft cushion in the room, and spoke.

"Yes."

Neji also knelt down and nodded to his father. For him, the content of the first exam was indeed too simple.

Even the tenth question, which Ibishina puts pressure on many candidates, in his eyes, is only of this level.

He won't be intimidated by that level of difficulty.

"Then you will come back directly after the exam. Do you want to see me for anything?"

Hizashi asked.

Neji hesitated for a moment, then said: "I saw a guy with a Byakugan among the genin of the Demon Country. Father, I want to know what is going on? Why does the Demon Country have a blood inheritance limit like the Byakugan?

?Byakugan...isn't it Konoha's unique blood inheritance limit?"

Neji's question was met with a brief silence from Hizashi.

He knew that once he came into contact with the ninjas of the Ghost Country, Neji would definitely ask such a question.

Coupled with the deliberate concealment of the family and the village, there are indeed some things that new generation ninjas like Neji cannot know.

"When Konoha was founded, and until the Third Ninja War, the Byakugan was indeed Konoha's unique bloodline limit. Our Hyuga clan, like the Konoha Uchiha clan that has disappeared, had established a foundation for the village.

He has made countless contributions and rushed to the most dangerous frontier of the battlefield to resist the enemy's aggression."

Ri almost nodded in reply.

"Then what happened in the Third Ninja War?"

Neji sat on his knees on the floor, staring closely at his father's somewhat complicated face, which seemed to hide countless thoughts and secrets.

He was no stranger to the Third Ninja War. He remembered that when he was four or five years old, a war broke out between Konoha and Kumogakure Village in the Land of Thunder.

After that, the two countries ceased war and signed an armistice agreement in Konoha. Because of that incident, the Hyuga clan was framed by Kumogakure, and the Hyuga clan was pushed to the forefront. His father also almost lost his life during that diplomacy.

.

Later, due to the tough attitude of the village's top management, the dignity of the Hyuga clan was restored and the Yunyin Village's conspiracy to frame the Hyuga clan was destroyed.

The Third Ninja War lasted on and off for about ten years.

In this war, Konoha lost countless ninjas. In order to supply war supplies, the Fire Nation's domestic development also fell into a state of stagnation for several years.

Even after the war, the development of the Fire Country was slow. This was because the scale of the Third Ninja War was larger than the Second and First Ninja War.

And this was only a part of the war that Ningji knew about, and more things were hidden.

For example, the Kingdom of Oni is a neutral country that did not have a high appearance rate in the Third Ninja War.

A few years after the war, it became the sixth largest country in the ninja world, breaking the structure of the ninja world that had been dominated by the five major countries for hundreds of years.

"On the eve of the war, some ninjas from the clan defected."

Hizashi looked into Neji's eyes and told the secret.

"Defection? Separate the family?"

Neji opened his mouth wide, feeling incredible.

How to defect from a separated family that is trapped by a caged bird?

To Ningji, this was undoubtedly as ridiculous as a fantasy.

"I knew the news at the time, and just like you, I was puzzled." Seeing Neci's confused look, Hizashi spoke his mind, and then continued: "But it was a premeditated attack.

During the defection operation, the defected ninja from the branch released the Caged Bird Curse Seal on their bodies."

Hearing Hizashi's words, Neji stood up from his seat with an expression of disbelief.

"The branch families that have unlocked the curse seal are naturally no longer restricted by the clan. Taking advantage of the early stage of the war, when the strength of the village was at its weakest, and with the help of other helpers that night, the defected branch families went smoothly.

He escaped the pursuit of the village and his family and disappeared without a trace."

Hizashi sighed.

"The country of ghosts..."

"That was something I found out later. The ninjas from the Uchiha clan who defected together with those ninjas from the separate clans were causing a stir in the city at that time. The senior officials spent a lot of energy to block the news.

As a result, in the early stages of the war, we were unable to successfully resist the invading forces from the enemy country, and suffered successive defeats."

Because this is not just a matter of losing a few ninjas, but a crisis of trust between two wealthy ninja clans and the village.

In the first year of the war, most of the Uchiha and Hinata ninjas basically could only stay in the village, under surveillance, and were unable to go to the battlefield for support.

Without the power of Byakugan and Sharingan, it is very difficult for Konoha to resist foreign enemies.

Especially the joint attack of Sunagakure and Iwagakure, even if the Sannin rushed to the front line, they were retreating steadily and could only delay the enemy's attack.

"Is that so?"

Neji muttered absentmindedly.

He did not expect that something like this happened within the Hyuga clan in the past. And not only the Hyuga clan, but also the Uchiha clan had problems.

For Konoha, which was preparing to participate in the war at the time, the large-scale defection of the two clans of ninjas was undoubtedly an added insult to the situation.

"Then a war broke out between the Kingdom of Ghosts and the Country of Wind. At that time, the village knew that the defected branch clan and the ninjas of the Uchiha clan had settled in the Kingdom of Ghosts. But it was already too late.

The morale of the country has been improved. Because during the Third Ninja War, the Kingdom of Demons used loans to various countries, sold a large amount of medical supplies and arms, and achieved economic development. Then it used this money to rapidly expand in the military field, and defeated the

After the Kingdom of Wind, it quickly became a new great country."

Although there were only a few words, Neji was shocked to hear it.

Behind the seemingly brief words, there must have been countless bloody storms.

He didn't believe that the village would be indifferent to the strong rise of the Kingdom of Ghosts.

But the Kingdom of Ghosts still broke the blockade of the great powers, so this issue is worth pondering.

The village definitely took action, but in the end it failed and suffered heavy losses, and had to admit its status as a ghost country.
