This ninja in Naruto is unscientific

Chapter 293 Outrageous Exam Questions

Three days is both a long and a short time for the genin participating in the Chunin Exams.

The journey was long because they experienced so many mind-blowing things in this environment called Konoha New District.

The reason it was short-lived was that no matter how hard they tried to probe, behind those seemingly accessible technologies lay unfathomable technological barriers.

Under these circumstances, the first written test of the Joint Chunin Exams officially began.

The examination venue was set up in the new central administrative area of ​​Konoha, in the same multi-functional lecture hall of the Hokage Building branch.

This place was originally used to hold high-level international conferences. It is a very large space with tiered seating arranged in a semi-circle around the central podium.

On each large solid wood table, there is an embedded button, next to which is a small rectangular slit.

"What is this?"

Sasaki Kumo of Kumogakure sat down casually in his seat, poked the cold metal plate in front of him with his hand, and looked impatient.

"Don't move." The two teak figures sat down next to him, their eyes warily scanning their surroundings.

Nearly a hundred genin from various ninja villages were already in place in the auditorium.

An eerie silence hung in the air; there was no whispering, only wary glances exchanged.

"Cough cough."

Two lazy coughs came from the microphone on the podium.

The examiner, Nara Shikaku, sporting his signature pineapple hairstyle and holding a cup of coffee, slowly walked to the center of the podium.

His dead fish eyes, which always looked like he hadn't slept, swept across the room. He sighed, as if presiding over the exam was an extremely torturous task.

Originally, Nishikawa Tetsu was supposed to be in charge of the examination, but the Ministry of Finance had some unclear accounts regarding the Konoha renovation plan, so Ichishima quickly asked Nishikawa Tetsu to go back and take a look.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I am Nara Shikaku, the chief examiner for this written test."

Lu Jiu introduced himself listlessly, then pointed to the two assistant examiners beside him.

"This is Yakushi Nonou, who will provide technical support and answer your operational questions. This is Uchiha Hachiho..."

Before Shikaku could finish speaking, Uchiha Yatsuho stepped forward, crossed his arms, and his dark eyes instantly transformed into crimson three-tomoe Sharingan. His cold and oppressive gaze swept across the faces of every examinee as if it were a tangible thing.

"I am the proctor." Yashiro's voice was as cold and hard as iron. "Under my watchful eye, any act of cheating, whispering, or attempting to use illusions to interfere with others will immediately result in a zero score and expulsion from the examination room."

The intense killing intent caused many genin from other villages to subconsciously tense their muscles.

"Alright, stop scaring them, Section Chief Yashiro."

Lu Jiu rubbed his temples.

"Now, please press the button on the seat in front of you."

The candidates looked at each other, and although they had doubts, they still did as instructed.

As soon as the button was pressed, the rectangular gap automatically rose up.

A metal plate emerged from the gap, its surface shimmering with a blue light like ripples on water.

Immediately afterwards, the screen lit up, and lines of clear text and options appeared on it.

"This...this is?!"

Hiroshi Tsugami of Iwagakure looked at the lit screen, a hint of curiosity about something new flashing in his eyes.

"No paper or pen needed? A display terminal activated directly with a button?"

"This is called a multi-functional tablet."

Pharmacist Nonou smiled, adjusted her glasses, and explained gently:

"Please rest assured, this is just a simple display and recording device and will not pose any threat to your safety. You only need to touch the options on the screen with your finger or click on the screen with the provided stylus to complete the questions."

"Now, the exam time is two hours. Begin answering the questions."

With Lu Jiu's command, the lecture hall fell into dead silence, with only the occasional soft "tap-tap" sound of fingers tapping on the screen.

However, this silence lasted for less than three minutes before being broken by a series of gasps and suppressed exclamations.

"What kind of crazy questions are these?!"

Maki from Sunagakure stared at the first question on the screen, his eyes practically popping out of their sockets.

[Single Choice Question: 1. When you are patrolling Konoha's commercial street, or after eating a soldier's ration, you find a trash can on the roadside labeled with categories such as flammable, non-flammable, and chakra waste. What would you do with the leftover soldier's ration wrapper?]

[A. Just throw it on the ground; a wind-style ninja will sweep it up anyway.]

B. Stuff it into the combustible waste bin.

C. Stuff it into a non-combustible trash can.

[D. Burn it directly with Fire Release.]

"..." Maki's lips twitched.

These are Chunin Exam questions?!

How would I, a ninja who grew up eating sand in the desert of the Land of Wind, know whether packaging paper is flammable or non-flammable?!

And why couldn't we just burn it with Fire Release?!

Not only Maki, but the ninjas from other villages also looked as if they were suffering from constipation when they saw the next question.

2. As evening falls, you are on an escort mission. While passing through the Konoha maple forest, you notice that the chakra streetlights along the roadside have suddenly malfunctioned and gone out. To ensure the safety of the mission, which department should you report this to?

【A. ANBU. 】

[B. Police Department, Security Division.]

[C. Konoha Electric Power and Home Appliance Service Company Repair Hotline.]

[D. Pull out the kunai and go up to fix it yourself.]

Looking at the problem, Sasaki Kumo of Kumogakure scratched his head in frustration: "Repair streetlights? I'm a ninja! My Lightning Release can light up the whole street, why would I need to report a repair?!"

3. Which of the following ninjutsu's chakra nature transformations is most similar to the cooling principle of the air conditioning in the Konoha Grand Hotel? (Note: It's not about directly producing cold air, but rather the transfer of heat.)

[A. Ice Release.]

【B. Water Escape.】

【C. Wind Release.】

[D. Sealing Technique.]

"Heat transport?"

Mei Terumi of Kirigakure looked at the question, her left eye slightly narrowed, and she used chakra nature transformation. Was this really a question from the genin exam?

She remembered the metal box that had been blowing cold air in the hotel room a few days ago. She had indeed sensed it with her chakra at the time, and there was no trace of water or ice release techniques inside, only the frequency of mechanical operation.

"This isn't a test of ninjutsu; it's a test of our ability to observe their new technologies," Mei Terumi thought to herself, lightly tapping the option she believed to be correct.
