This ninja in Naruto is unscientific

Chapter 294 Peace and Development

Meanwhile, in another corner of the lecture hall, the Konoha genin reacted quite differently to the exam paper.

"Ughhhhh! Why is it this kind of question again?!"

Kana Uzumaki frantically tugged at her red twin tails, staring at the multiple-choice question on the screen about the "cooling principle of air conditioning," completely exasperated.

She turned to look at Shizune beside her with a resentful expression, and complained in a low voice, "Shizune! Did Che-gege do this on purpose?! These were clearly the questions he used to test those interns at the research institute! I haven't even fully mastered chakra nature transformation, how could I possibly understand heat transport?!"

Shizune pushed up her glasses, which weren't actually on her nose, and held Ton-Ton in her arms (because of the rules, Ton-Ton was forced to wait outside, so she could only hold a Ton-Ton plush toy), her expression very calm.

"Xiangnai, have you forgotten how Senior Che explained why the ice cream machine in the store could emit cold air when he took us there last week?" Shizune whispered a reminder.

"Ice cream..." Kana's eyes lit up instantly, and the casual explanation Nishikawa Toru had given her immediately came to mind. "Oh, I remember now! He said it's called a compressor, kind of like compressing chakra into a sealing scroll and then releasing it!"

"I choose D! Sealing Technique!" Kana confidently tapped the screen.

"..." Shizune paused for two seconds, silently changed her answer to C (Wind Release), and sighed inwardly. Kana's intuition always cleverly avoided all the correct answers.

"Kana Uzumaki, no need for whispering, this is a warning!" Even though Kana's voice was barely audible, it still didn't escape the ears of our Section Chief Yashiro.

If the previous questions could be explained by common sense and observation skills, then the following subjective questions made all the ninjas from other villages feel a deep sense of malice.

[Short Answer Question: When carrying out a team mission, if your teammate lacks a bloodline limit or even has very little chakra, but can provide effective scientific ninja tools (such as an electromagnetic pistol or communication headset) to assist you in combat, would you trust and rely on them? Why?]

Upon seeing the question, Haitsuchi of Iwagakure snorted coldly and without hesitation used chakra to write on the screen:

No, a ninja's power comes from their own training and willpower. Relying on external tools only makes one weak; once those so-called ninja tools are damaged, they become a burden. A true strongman only needs a pair of fists and sturdy armor.

And in a seat not far from him.

Kurenai Yuhi of Konoha looked at the same question, but a confident smile appeared on her lips.

She recalled the scene on the battlefield in the Land of Grass, where Captain Nishikawa Tetsu used that electromagnetic sniper rifle to blow the head off an Iwagakure Jonin from a kilometer away.

Hong skillfully wrote:

Absolute trust. On the battlefield, any means that improves survivability and lethality deserves respect. Scientific ninja tools compensate for a lack of natural talent; when used properly, intelligence can also be a deadly weapon.

As the exam progressed, the questions became increasingly pointed, even directly addressing the core values ​​of ninjas.

[Scenario Analysis: Your teammate is critically injured during an S-level classified mission, rendering him unable to continue and potentially slowing the team down, leading to mission failure. Would you choose to abandon him to complete the mission, or protect him and retreat together?]

The Eight-Tails Jinchuriki of Kumogakure looked at the question and wanted to do an impromptu rap, but the Eighth Generations stared at him intently, suppressing his desire.

He wrote: "Failure of the mission is bad enough, I'll just die, but if I abandon my comrades, who will dare to entrust their backs to me in the future? I choose to protect him, even if it means we all die together."

Upon seeing this question, Obito Uchiha paused for a moment, and the image of his teammate's father, Sakumo Hatake, flashed through his mind.

Without the slightest hesitation, Obito wrote down the line from the original work that influenced Kakashi's entire life.

"In the rules of the ninja world, those who abandon their missions are called trash, but those who don't cherish their comrades are even worse than trash."

Sitting next to him, Kai was facing the biggest crisis of his life.

He stared at the scenario analysis question about "a teammate being seriously injured and unable to continue," his thick eyebrows furrowed, sweat pouring down his face and even dripping onto the screen of his tablet.

"This...this is such a cruel trial!"

Kai screamed inwardly, his fists clenched, his whole body trembling.

"If you're a real man, of course you should burn your life to complete the village's mission! But abandoning your comrades... that would absolutely betray the vows of your youth! Dad said that comrades are meant to be protected!"

"But if the mission fails, the village will be damaged... Ahhhh! The flames of youth are burning on both sides at the same time, how should I choose!"

Kai's mind went blank. He suddenly stood up, clutched his head, and roared to the sky:

"What a thrilling and complex exam question! To find the answer, I must immediately go outside and run a hundred laps around the exam hall handstand to calm myself down!"

"..."

The other candidates from the surrounding villages stared at him as if he were crazy.

"Silence!" The Eighth Hokage's icy voice rang out instantly, his three-tomoe Sharingan fixed on Might Guy. "Might Guy, if you dare to make any more noise or do anything strange, you will be disqualified from the exam immediately!"

"Yes, examiner!"

Kai instantly stood at attention and sat back down in his chair with an extremely standard posture, but tears still streamed down his face.

"As expected of the Eighth Hokage, he remains so strict even at a time like this. This is the youthful spirit of the Konoha Police Department!"

Tears streaming down his face, he typed with trembling fingers on the screen: "Companions are the wings of youth; how can a bird fly without wings? I choose to carry my companions on my back and sprint with twice the youthful vigor to complete the mission!"

Obito Uchiha, sitting next to Guy, secretly glanced at Guy's screen with his Sharingan, his lips twitching wildly.

"Is this guy an idiot?"

Obito curled his lip in disdain, then looked down at his last question.

"Technology will change the ninja world? Is that even a question?"

He grinned, revealing a smug smile, and his fingers flew across the screen.

Technology is the power to blast enemies to smithereens without hand seals! Technology is the divine artifact that allows me to see through all of Kakashi's masked weaknesses! Peace is when everyone stops fighting, we can eat Rin's homemade bento every day, and then go to the newly opened shopping district to buy the latest game consoles! As for development… development is letting the entire ninja world know that I, Uchiha Obito, am going to become Hokage!

After finishing this essay, which could be described as a collection of Obito's quotes, he clapped his hands in satisfaction.

……

On the podium.

As Nara Shikaku watched the exam answers being compiled on the main control screen in front of him, his previously listless eyes now shone with an astonishing brightness.

"interesting……"

Shikaku picked up his coffee, took a sip, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.

"That guy Nishikawa Tetsuya, the test he set is a double-edged sword."

Standing to the side, Uchiha Yatsushiro was diligently supervising the exams, but seeing the frantic expressions of the out-of-town ninjas on the screen, he couldn't help but whisper a question:

"Assistant Shikaku, can this kind of test really select outstanding ninjas? It looks more like a resident entrance exam for the new Konoha district."

"Section Chief Yashiro, you've only seen the surface."

Yakushi Nonou pushed up her glasses and looked down with a wise gaze.

"On the surface, this set of tests is to examine their ability to observe new things in Konoha over the past three days. In reality, it is a comprehensive screening of their alignment with Konoha's values."

"Garbage sorting, appliance repair, attitudes towards ninja tools, choosing companions..."

Nono pointed to a set of data analysis on the screen:

"Those candidates who choose violence, destruction, disregard technology, and abandon their companions still have a mindset stuck in the brutal warfare of the old era."

"Those candidates who are able to keenly perceive the convenience of technology, are willing to accept new things, and agree with the concept of the supremacy of life are the ones who are most likely to be assimilated and influenced by our Konoha in the future changes of the ninja world."

Shikaku nodded and picked up where Nonou left off.

"What Nishikawa Tetsu wants is not who has the most chakra or who knows the most ninjutsu. Such people will naturally be revealed in the practical tests later."

"What he wants is to use this first written test to brainwash all the new generation from other villages."

"This last big question is the real challenge."

Shikaku tapped his fingers on the main control screen.

The last page of the exam paper prominently displayed:

[Essay (no less than 800 words): Based on your experiences in Konoha over the past three days, discuss your understanding of how technology is changing the ninja world and the relationship between peace and development.]

"Let a group of genin from another village, who were taught how to kill from a young age, sit here and write a eulogistic essay about how great Konoha is and how amazing its technology is..."

Lu Jiu looked at the examinees who were scratching their heads, gritting their teeth, but had no choice but to grit their teeth and continue writing, and laughed heartily.

"Brilliant!"

"This is not just an exam; it is clearly a blatant cultural invasion and spiritual castration."

At this moment, Nishikawa Tetsu was sitting in his large and comfortable vice-minister's office chair, sorting out the accounts for the Konoha renovation plan.

"Achoo!"

He rubbed his nose.

"Those kids from other villages must be cursing me in their hearts."

Nishikawa Tetsu smiled indifferently.

"Go ahead and curse. The harsher you curse, the greater the impact this test has on your values."

"Welcome to the new era, kids."
