Naruto: The dungeon I developed went viral throughout the entire ninja world.

Chapter 68 Written Exam? Tsunade's Gamble

Ninja Academy, Room 301.

Ibiki Morino stood on the podium, his scarred face still giving the students a slightly creepy feeling.

Listen carefully.

Ibihi's words were blunt and even carried the oppressive feeling of interrogating a prisoner, which may have been influenced by his profession.

"This exam will not only test your intelligence gathering abilities, but also your mental fortitude."

"If someone is caught cheating five times, the entire team will be eliminated."

"The tenth question will be announced soon."

"This is a multiple-choice question."

"Choose a question to answer; if you answer incorrectly, you will never be able to become a Zhongyuan (a high-ranking official) again."

"Choose to give up, the whole team is eliminated, and we'll try again next year."

This extreme choice between two options instantly shattered the psychological defenses of many test takers.

Some people raised their hands to give up, trembling with fear, completely lacking any courage.

Naruto was already bored and fell asleep on the table, and what's worse, he even started snoring.

Sasuke sat to the side, arms crossed, watching coldly.

This level of psychological warfare is like children playing house to him.

Hinata sat behind Naruto, clutching a pen tightly in her hand.

She wanted to pass the answer to Naruto, but seeing his carefree attitude, she didn't dare to move.

The candidates from other villages were like the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, each displaying their unique abilities.

Kankuro used a crow to peep, Gaara used his Sand Eyes, Neji used his Byakugan, and Tenten used a mirror to reflect his reflection.

The entire examination room resembled a large-scale cheating site; if it were a normal exam, it would leave the examiners speechless.

Ibihi looked at the candidates and even smiled.

A ninja is someone who learns to survive in adversity.

Just as he was about to announce the rules for the tenth question, delivering the final blow to these newbies.

After a loud bang, the classroom door was kicked open.

Even though Ibixi had a strong mental fortitude, he was still taken aback by this scene and snapped the piece of chalk in his hand.

All the candidates turned around in horror.

A blonde woman stood at the doorway.

She wore a long green robe, had a voluptuous figure, and looked menacing, as if everyone present owed her money.

He was holding a wine bottle and reeked of alcohol, which drew disgust from the students.

Tsunade, the Fifth Hokage.

Behind her followed a helpless-looking Jingyin, who was holding a pink pig in her arms.

Then there's Nara Shikaku, carrying a huge pile of documents, his face etched with exhaustion, and he even has dark circles under his eyes from staying up all night. Serving this Hokage is no easy task.

"H...Hokage-sama?"

Ibi asked, stammering.

"What brings you here?"

"Why am I here? Why can't I come? Do you have to tell me what to do?"

Tsunade strode in, her high heels making a distinctive sound on the floor.

She walked up to the podium and started yelling.

"What kind of bullshit psychological warfare is this!"

Tsunade waved her hand.

"This is too slow!"

"What's the point of this kind of exam? Can it select truly talented people?"

"It's so fussy and inconsiderate, it's not pleasant at all!"

Ibixi was covered in black sweat.

This is a tradition of the Chunin Exams from generation to generation, how come it's become nonsense in your eyes?

"So... what do you mean?"

"I'll take this exam!"

Tsunade slammed the bottle down on the table.

He pulled a huge black dice cup from his pocket and slammed it onto the podium.

"Ninjas do need intelligence gathering skills."

"But luck is also necessary! Luck is also a form of ability!"

Sometimes, luck is more important than ability!

Tsunade scanned the entire room.

This unreasonable arrogance left all the test takers bewildered. What did this mean?

"New rules!"

Tsunade announced loudly.

"A betting game, guess high or low!"

"Guess right, advance! Guess wrong, get out!"

"Simple! Direct! Effective!"

The entire audience erupted in uproar.

Nara Shikaku, standing behind him, was also feeling a headache coming on. Could this really not corrupt these children?

"What? Gambling?"

"Is this the Chunin Exams? Or is this a casino?"

"That's too childish!"

"I refuse to accept this! I got here based on my own merit!"

The test takers were in an uproar.

They've worked so hard to prepare for so long, practicing ninjutsu and taijutsu, only to have their fate decided by rolling dice in the end?

This is utterly absurd.

Kankuro stood up.

"Hokage-sama, this isn't fair!"

"What if someone is unlucky? Wouldn't they be eliminated outright?"

"fair?"

Tsunade gave a cold laugh.

"Where is fairness on the battlefield?"

"You were unlucky to step on an explosive tag, and you were unlucky to encounter an enemy stronger than you."

"Dead is dead, no one will listen to your complaints."

"If you don't want to gamble, you can get out now!"

These words silenced everyone.

To some extent, what the Naruto said seems to be true.

Indeed, being a ninja is a profession where you risk your life; luck can sometimes be the key to life or death.

Let's begin!

Tsunade picked up the dice cup.

The sound of dice clattering echoed in the quiet classroom.

Everyone's hearts were in their throats. They placed their bets, this was a gamble that would cost them their ninja careers.

Just then, Naruto stood up.

He woke up, stretched, and slowly walked to the front of the podium.

He looked at the dice cup and Tsunade, whose face was flushed and who was extremely excited, and then he came to his senses what had happened.

"boring."

Naruto only said two words.

"What did you say?" Tsunade raised an eyebrow.

I said I was bored.

Naruto placed his hand on the dice cup.

"This kind of game where you leave your fate to luck is so boring."

"I don't believe in luck, I only believe in myself."

Naruto exerted force with his palm, and the dice cup shattered instantly in his hand as if it were made of paper, with the dice turning directly into white powder.

Everyone's eyes widened.

What kind of operation is this? They just crushed the dice cup?

Is this...cheating? Or disrupting the event?

Ibiki's jaw nearly dropped. Was this kid really that brave? He dared to do that in front of the Hokage.

Tsunade was also stunned.

"you……"

Tsunade was about to speak.

"I don't play this kind of boring game."

Naruto dusted off his hands and turned his back to Tsunade.

"I'm going straight to the second game."

"The Forest of Death, that's the real testing ground."

They completely disregarded the Hokage.

Everyone thought Tsunade would fly into a rage and punch this arrogant brat away.

After all, this is the legendary violent Tsunade.

However, a burst of wild laughter rang out.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Tsunade laughed so hard she almost cried.

She slammed her hand on the table.

"Good lad! You've got guts! Just like me!"

Tsunade watched Naruto's retreating figure with admiration in her eyes; this was the kind of ninja she wanted.

They are not bound by conventions, are not afraid of authority, dare to break the rules, and possess absolute confidence and strength.

"Rules are rigid, but people are flexible."

Tsunade waved her hand.

"He's right!"

"Luck is just an excuse for the weak!"

"The strong never rely on luck!"

"First exam! Passed all!"

Tsunade kicked the podium over.

"Get the hell out of here, all of you!"

"Don't waste your time here!"

"Go and fight! Go and battle!"

"Let me see just how much you're worth!"

Cheers erupted.

Although the process was absurd, the result was good; everyone passed.

The students rushed out of the classroom.

Naruto walked in front, with Sasuke and Sakura following behind him.

"You're really something."

Sasuke also sincerely admired him.

"In this situation, only you would dare to do something like this."

"Of course."

Naruto put his hands in his pockets.

"I don't want to waste time rolling dice."

"After all, there's a formidable opponent waiting for us."

The three disappeared at the end of the corridor.

Tsunade stood in the classroom and called out.

"Shikaku."

"exist."

Shika wiped his sweat.

"Put this dice cup on Naruto's tab."

"Deduct it from his mission payment."

"Yes……"

Lu Jiu smiled wryly, lamenting that this pair of oddballs were both incredibly troublesome.

The future of Konoha... is truly full of uncertainties.
