Chapter 78: A Simple First Test, Meng Ling's Hint

  After a moment, many genin who took the exam, including Naruto, received their own numbered plates under Ibiki's explanation. The genin then moved to their respective positions, and Ibiki began his own explanation. After hearing Ibiki's explanation of the test rules, everyone was amazed, although some people had opinions, but they were quieted down by Ibiki's jounin strength.

  After the exam started, Meng Ling also came to Yibi Xi's side. Meng Ling's natural affinity immediately got along with Yibi Xi.

  "How about it, Ibi Xi senior? How many people do you think will make it to the next round of testing this time?" Meng Ling asked with a smile.

  "This time there are probably about two hundred examinees, but I estimate that three-quarters of them will be eliminated." Yibi said lightly.

  "It's just fifty people? But there are quite a few elites this year, I think it should be more than fifty people to be right." Meng Ling said her thoughts.

  "Oh? Why do you think so?" Ibuki asked with a hint of interest.

  "Intuition." Meng Ling said lightly.

  "This is what people call a woman's intuition? How strange." Yibi said lightly.

  "No, it's just human intuition. The 'female' character in front can be omitted." Meng Ling said with some annoyance, and his heart couldn't help but think of that heavenly dragon god who had messed things up and made himself transform. Now it was good, males would make him feel disgusted, while females were unwilling, making him a lone wolf, unable to do anything.

  "If I still had my old body, with the strength I have now, it would be pretty cool... " Mei thought to herself with a smile.

  "What are you thinking?" Yibi Xi looked at Meng Leng's small face, which was red and green in turns, and as an expert interrogator, he also felt very puzzled.

  "Ah, nothing, it's all right." Mengying chuckled, but had already made up her mind.

  "If I have the chance, I will definitely study the art of reincarnation of the great snake pill well. If it really doesn't work out, then I'll just become a monk."

  At this time, the first test of the Jonin selection exam for all the genin was underway. Naruto was still shaking in his seat. The pencil in his hand was scribbling randomly on the desk, and at this time, Sasuke seemed to have discovered the true meaning of this exam, staring in Naruto's direction.

  "Alright, I'll help out too. Ibiki-senpai, let me reduce the number of ninjutsu to ninety people first." After saying that, Mei Terumi directly sat down on the podium, closed her eyes and released her spiritual energy, instantly enveloping the entire examination hall. It was at this time that Hatake also began to help Naruto, who was just about to start peeking at Hatake's answer sheet...

  "Bang......" Just as Naruto was about to cheat, a shuriken flew right in front of him and nailed itself into the desk behind him.

  However, the one who shot Ibyxi was not... Meng Leng.

  "What are you doing? Don't you know that's very dangerous?" The examinee glared at Meng Ling, who was wearing a mask, and shouted loudly.

  "You've cheated five times and are disqualified. Similarly, your companion can also leave." Meng Ling said calmly without opening her eyes.

  "Ah?" The person looked at Meng Ling in surprise, but couldn't say a word because he had indeed done it just now, and the number of times was exactly five, no more or less. Immediately after that, the three people also quietly left the examination room. It could be seen that although these three people were somewhat dissatisfied with Meng Ling in their eyes, they weren't the kind of people who dared to make trouble.

  "Who is that masked female ninja?" someone asked in a low voice.

  "How can she just sit there, is she a superior nun?"

  "What a joke, her father didn't become a Jonin until he was in his thirties, if she's really a Tokubetsu Jonin at her age then that's truly a genius."

  ……

  "Alright, let's continue with the exam." Ibby shouted loudly, and the examination room fell silent once again.

  "Number 32, * number disqualified."

  "Car 78 and car 90 disqualified."

  ……

  Under the effect of Mugen's external release, only ninety people were left in the examination room. Of course, the twelve genin from Konohagakure, Iruka, Shikamaru and Chōji from Sunagakure, and three from Otogakure, were still among these ninety people.

  "Alright, that's all for my work, you can teach yourselves from now on." After saying this, Meng Ling fell asleep directly on the podium.

  It was after Yumeha fell asleep that some of the slightly stronger existences among these ninety people immediately began their respective cheating actions.

  Sasuke: "Has it been replaced? It seems that Mu Rong has given up, so let's start now..."

  Ning Ci: "It seems that she also has a Bloodline Limit, but I don't know what her Bloodline Limit is or why it's so similar to Byakugan's ability."

  Ira: "What a troublesome guy."

  Kan Kurō: "Isn't that the female ninja from before? Not only is her strength incredible, but so is her insight. However, she clearly has her eyes closed... yet why..."

  Shortly after Mei Ling fell asleep, Sasuke and Neji began their own cheating. What with writing wheel eyes' copying, white eyes' transparency, third eye's peeking, and even... dogs!

  However, just like in the original work, Ibiki still came up with that last question of his own, and Naruto also 'answered' it just as he did in the original.

  ————I am that gorgeous dividing line————

  After leaving the examination hall, Meng Ling told Naruto and his friends to treat them to a big meal at Yī Lè Lā Miàn, saying it was to celebrate their smooth passage of the first exam. The three had no objection, with Naruto being the most excited. Although Sasuke didn't say much, he knew that Meng Ling's invitation this time was not just for celebration.

  At this time, in a ramen shop, Mugen and Jin were having a "celebration" for passing the first test.

  "Congratulations, Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura. You've already completed one-tenth of the Chunin Selection Exam." said Hyuga Hiyori with a smile.

  "One-tenth? Isn't it just three exams? Why is it said to be one-tenth?" Little Sakura asked with some confusion.

  "It's simple, what Deidara is saying is that the difficulty of the first test is only about one-tenth of the Chunin Selection Exam, we're getting ahead of ourselves." Sasuke said coolly.

  "Huh? You're saying this, but I'm even more skeptical now." Sakura said in surprise.

  "Tomorrow, you'd better be more careful with your survival training, because this time, no one will go easy on you." Meng Ling said seriously.

  "Survival training? How can it be survival training again?" Sakura asked with a lingering fear, for she still remembered Kakashi's previous test vividly.

  "This survival exercise won't be as easy as the last one, okay? Except for your three teammates, all seventy-five other genin are your enemies. You'd better remember that you can kill in the second exam." said Meng Ling calmly.

  "Hiss......" Upon hearing this sentence, all three of them took a deep breath at the same time.

  "But don't be impatient, you are students of Kakashi-sensei, and can also be said to be my junior brothers and sisters. So, I made this for you yesterday." As he spoke, Mu Lin took out a scroll with the character '卍' written on it from his ninja tool pouch.

  "What is this?" Naruto flipped the scroll in his hand back and forth, wondering what it was, then prepared to open...

  "For now, don't open it yet, save it for your second exam instead." Meng Ling said with a smile.

  "What does it mean?" Sasuke asked.

  "For my own companions, I naturally won't let you die, so if you encounter a life-threatening situation in the second test, just open this scroll and it can save your lives." Meng Ling said calmly.

  "Then isn't this a personal favor?" Sakura asked.

  "Abuse of power? Hmm, a bit, but I'll explain to you first, if you open this scroll, you will lose your qualification for the Chunin Selection Exam. So it's not worth using unless it's a matter of life and death." Meng Ling stretched out her right hand and wiggled her fingers in front of her face.

  "So it was like that after all, then I don't have any questions anymore." Sakura said with a relieved tone.

  "Well, next I'll talk to you all about tomorrow's exam." Meng Ling continued.

  "Huh?" As soon as they heard this sentence, the three of them immediately perked up.

  "First of all, I'm not allowed to reveal the content of this exam, it's a ninja rule. However, I can explain the abilities and information of the participants in this exam. Go ahead and ask if you have any questions." said Mu Rong lightly.

  "The one called Lee Rock and also Iruka of the Sand Shinobi." Sasuke said the names he wanted to know.

  "Li Luoke? He's a ninja who cultivates his body, but he doesn't know any ninjutsu or illusions, so when the time comes, you can use illusions or ninjutsu to keep him at bay." Meng Ling said simply.

  "As for Luo Ai, with your current strength... just run away when you see him." Meng Ling paused and continued.

  "Why? Is he really that strong?" Sasuke asked.

  "If you're confident that you can beat Kakashi-sensei right now, then go ahead and challenge him, but don't say I didn't warn you if you end up dead." Mei Ling said calmly...

  Upon hearing this, the three people's faces changed color once again.
