Chapter 92
[+600 Power Stone Bonus Chapter!!]
As expected, right near the end of the test, Ibiki's twisted sense of humor kicked in.
He made the examinees choose whether or not to answer the tenth question. If they chose not to, they could leave the exam immediately. But if they chose to answer—and failed—they would be Genin for life.
Who did he think he was scaring?
You think you're the Hokage or something? You don't have the authority to decide someone's promotion.
Besides, some examinees were from other villages. Their promotions were decided by their own leaders!
And even if they didn't pass here, what's stopping them from trying again at Kumogakure's Chūnin Exams next time? What could Ibiki do about it?
Only those with poor mental resilience got spooked. Sakura nearly raised her hand—until Naruto launched his signature talk-no-jutsu and started yelling how even if he stayed a Genin forever, he'd still become Hokage.
Blowing hot air without a script.
The craziest part? Ibiki actually admired that.
A Genin becoming Hokage? What a joke.
Oh wait, he actually does later... Right, plot armor. Never mind.
