Chapter 19 - First Test...Fail?

Ibiki has a large, imposing figure, which he complements with a rugged head and face covered with old wounds and scars. Ibiki's head is always covered by his forehead protector,He wears a darker version of the standard uniform of the Intelligence Division, along with a black trench coat and gloves.

Ibiki then point at the 3 Oto(Sound) genin and said "Otogakure guys, stop doing as you please before the exam, do you want to fail already?".

After warning all the participant that fighting is not allowed unless an examiners says so and that killing was prohibited, Ibiki then went on "Now we will start the first test of the chunin selection exam, you will be assigned a random seat and then we will give you your paper..."

After Ren went to his assigned seat he look around and almost had a heart attack while on his right there is a random mob on his left there is a kid with fair skin, green eyes, and short auburn spiky hair, he lacks distinctive pupils or eyebrows, he's has tanuki-like black rings around his eyes, and he has the kanji for "love" on the left side of his forehead, he is non other than our insomniac psychotic killer then turned good Gaara who is still in his "please, make my day by giving me any excuse to kill" phase.

Gaara wears a black body suit with an open neck, t-shirt-like sleeves, and almost full-length leggings. With this, he wears a white cloth over his right shoulder and the left side of his hips. He has a wide leather band from his left shoulder to his right hip with which he carries his sand gourd and around which he wraps his forehead protector

'Of all the people here, I am next the pre-Talk no Jutsu Gaara should I greet him, piss him off...tell a joke to break the ice.....yup that is a good way to be targeted by him while i can survive no problem the same can't be said for Taro and Jiro....'

And then he realize that he didn't have the time to warn his teammate about the trick exam and their classification is more or less of an assault team so their information gathering skill are sub-par and he obliviousy can't use Kido to warn them.

As Ren was thinking about how to help his teammates, Ibiki starts explain the rules of the first test "First rule, you guys starts with 10 point, the test is made up of 10 questions and each question is worth 1 point, but this is a subtraction system, basically if you answer all your question correctly you will keep all the 10 points , but say you miss 3 you will have 7 points in total".

"Second rule, this is a team question whether you pass or not will be determined by your team total point, so each team will compete to see how may of the total 30 point they can hold" at that point Sakura ask a question but is soon shut down and Ibiki continues.

"Third rule, is that during the exam anyone caught cheating will be deducted 2 points for every offence, so there will be some that during the exam will lose all their point and asked to leave, we'll have our eyes on you, realize that pathetic ones caught cheating will be destroying themself"

'In a few words cheat as much as possible and do not get caught' thought Ren

"Last rule, those who lose all their points and those who do not answer any question will be failed along their teammates" finish explaining Ibiki and then say "The test will last an hour, BEGIN!"

Ren starts looking at his question 'We got one cryptogram, a math question about kunai, some assassination question, some of logic, and other similar ones, while some are kinda hard I know the answer and so do Taro and Jiro as thanks to Kakashi they had another year to study even if they were ready and good enough to be genin last year the problem is the trick last question how do I warn them'.

While Ren was writing the answer lost in tought a kunai from one of the examiners pass by Naruto and hit the paper of the guy in front of him and announcing that he failed,

After 20 min Ren finished answering all the questions and start to discretely look around as he look at the examiners with his spiritual sense he notice that one of them is a puppet and then remember Kankuro's scene where he went to the bathroom to cheat and has an eureka moment.

Soon Ren raise his hand and ask for a bathroom break he is soon handcuffed and followed by a chunin examiners he went to the bathroom.

Once inside he went for one of the toilets and discreetly summoned 2 Jigokucho, gave them 2 mini scrolls with his warning and then the Jigokucho opened 2 small Senkaimon near their brethren smell that were in the hands of Taro and Jiro, and soon after they were back with two scrolls that says "Got it".

Done with it Ren went back to the exam room and waited, after 30 min of the exam passed Ibiki starts its last move "We'll now start the 10th question, now before we get to the last question I'd like to go over the added rule for this question, these are the rule of desperation".

And so Ibiki starts his mind games by scaring the genin about some nonsensical thing like becoming unable to be promoted forever 'Like the other ninja village will really listen to what a mere jonin from rival village decide about its own ninja...'

But still many team fall from Ibiki trick and soon some team fail, until Naruto starts an indiscriminate attack of Talk no Jutsu "Do not underestimate me!!! I will not run, I'll take it even if I'm forever a genin, I'll become a Hokage anyways so i do not care! I am not afraid!".

'Not only brainwash any enemy he can, even the future he can see ... How scary his plot armor is...' thought Ren imitating a famous sage green pointy eared draft.

In the end Naruto was able to calm all the others and so 81 genin remains, and after looking at the class and seeing that no one was gonna give up Ibiki said "Good decision now to everyone still remaining, I congratulate on you on passing the first test!" and then he starts explaining the test and wish good luck when all of a sudden a shadow break in from the window throwing 2 kunai attached to a black cloth aimed at the ceiling.

As the black cloth cover Ibiki a woman now in his place says "You guys! This is not time to celebrate, I'm the examiner for the second test Anko Mitarashi, now let's go!".
