"My youth is gone, ah..."

Suddenly, Might Guy squatted down, covered his head with his hands, and burst into tears.

Such a big man suddenly bursting into tears, the change in tone was too abrupt, leaving everyone, even the most familiar Might Guys, completely bewildered.

"Is this the same powerful being who even the tailed beasts couldn't contend with?"

The test takers began to question the meaning of life.

Only one person looked at Might Guy with shining eyes, and that was Rock Lee. He looked at the crying Might Guy and made a gesture of self-encouragement.

"Is this the teacher's father? He is indeed full of youthful energy. I am so moved that I am about to cry."

"It's not just about to, it's already happened!"

Next to Xiao Li, Tenten and Neji, who were also in the same squad, quietly moved a few steps away from him, indicating that they were not familiar with him.

"Stop fooling around, the rest is up to you. I'm going first." With that, Hatake Sakumo leaped away and disappeared from everyone's sight.

In reality, Matt Daly was still immersed in his own world. There was no one in front of the gate who could stop him, which was definitely a good opportunity, but no one made any attempt to force their way through.

Who knows if someone else might suddenly appear inside to stop them?

They all thought that anyone who came out of the Myriad Realms Hot Spring was a monster, and each one was more terrifying than the last, making it virtually impossible to complete the mission.

Even if you're lucky enough to get in, can you really guarantee that you'll get the stuff back?

Looking back now, if Matt Damon had been guarding the door, wouldn't he have had to face him when he came out? The outcome was already predetermined.

"Yosh, I'm fully revived! My youth is reignited, and my blood is boiling!"

Matt Day stood up, looked up at the sky, then gave a thumbs-up to the examinees, flashing a smile that made his white teeth seem to gleam even in broad daylight.

Thank you all for your support!

"Hmm," aside from Xiao Li nodding in response, everyone else stared blankly at Might Day. They couldn't stand him anymore. If they didn't have to deal with him to get the hot springs, they would probably have run as far away as possible by now.

"Being silly isn't contagious, right?"

"That's hard to say. If things continue like this, I feel like I might not be myself anymore."

The conversation between the two nameless ninjas resonated with those nearby.

Matt Day gave Lee an approving look, then returned to his post, cleared his throat and said, "The hot spring water isn't for sale, but if you really want it, there is a way."

"Really? Is there really another way? Tell me quickly, Uncle Dai."

Naruto excitedly ran up to Might Guy, his face full of anticipation.

"Phew, is this finally happening? The real test." Shikamaru, the only one who saw through everything from the beginning, finally started to get a little serious.

All the candidates watched Matt Day nervously, fearing that he might propose some impossible conditions.

There are three ways to get to the hot springs.

Matt Day held up three fingers, but no one noticed that his eyes looked a little strange as he said this, as if he were embarrassed.

Three methods? With so many, it shouldn't be too difficult to complete!

Thinking this way, the test takers felt much more relaxed.

"The first method is also the simplest one. If anyone has any books from the latest edition of the 'Icha Icha Paradise' series, I can exchange them for three bottles of hot spring water."

A paradise for intimacy? That's...

Might Guy spoke in a serious tone, without any other emotion, but after hearing "Make-Out Paradise," everyone who knew what Make-Out Paradise was looked at Might Guy with a strange expression, but they couldn't tell anything else from Might Guy's face.

"Make-Out Paradise, isn't that the book Kakashi-sensei often reads? But it's a pity I don't have it. I wonder if I can borrow it!" Naruto said casually, not realizing that there was anything wrong with it.

"It's impossible to borrow it." Sakura, standing to the side, had completely darkened her face. Much more normal than Naruto, she knew what the so-called "Make-Out Paradise" was all about, and she had already cursed it hundreds of times in her mind.

As the "Golden Lotus of the Ninja World," even surpassing the original work, "Icha Icha Paradise" is of immeasurable value in the eyes of those in the know. Even for the Chunin Exams, no one would be willing to hand it over.

"Yu Feng, didn't you say you had all the 'Intimate Paradise' items in your collection? Now it's your turn to contribute. With it, our whole team can get through this level."

"Yes, I really didn't expect that collecting these things would actually be useful. That's great! This way, our Kawanin Village won't be eliminated in the first round. Hurry up and bring them out!"

The examinee known as Yu Feng looked at his teammates' excited and happy faces, but he couldn't feel happy at all, and hesitated to speak.

"What's wrong? Hurry up and take it out!"

"Yeah, hurry up!"

Urged on by his companions, Yu Feng, looking utterly miserable, pulled out several books from his backpack as if he were cutting off a piece of his own flesh. Just when everyone thought he was going to give the books to Matt Dai in exchange for hot spring water, he suddenly put the books back.

"No, these are my most precious memories. I can't lose them. Aren't there two other ways? Please listen to my answer first."

"you……"

The final result was that no one was able to successfully exchange their hot spring for the hot spring.

"Then I'll mention the second point: Go to the National Martial Arts Academy. Defeating two Dark Force martial artists in a siege will earn you one bottle of hot spring water. Defeating three Dark Force martial artists will earn you three bottles. Each person can only exchange for hot spring water once."

In fact, this condition was Yi Shuihan's true intention: to have martial arts practitioners gang up on the ninja.

To be honest, this task is not difficult for the Konoha 11. After hearing about this method, many of them have already made the same decision.

"How is that possible? We're just genin. If we're fighting against multiple masters of internal energy, it'll be too difficult to win," a candidate from a small ninja village said unwillingly, clearly thinking the difficulty level was too high.

"You're here to participate in the Chunin Exams, right? It's not impossible for a real Chunin to complete this mission. Since your goal is to become a Chunin, what is there to complain about?"

Matt Day said slowly.

Chapter 400, Beating Up Ninjas in Action

To be honest, Matt Day's words made a lot of sense, and the clamoring candidates all fell silent.

"Well, if you don't want to choose the first or second method, then I have one last way to get the hot spring water." Might Guy said slowly, whetting everyone's appetite.

This last method was the last hope for those who were not strong enough, so most of the candidates looked at Matt Day with great tension.

"The last method is to do one hundred good deeds in Konoha Village. Each person can only complete one hundred deeds and can only receive one bottle of hot spring water. No one is allowed to deliberately create good deeds."

One hundred good deeds sounds simple, but it's actually incredibly difficult, especially when you're not allowed to deliberately create good deeds.

If the first method was Yi Shuihan's respect for the veteran driver Meng, and the second method was Yi Shuihan's main objective, then the third method was a path that wasn't a path at all for those who lacked strength but had extraordinary perseverance, since it wasn't possible to completely eliminate them.

Actually, there is a hidden fourth method, which is to find Yi Shuihan and directly ask for hot spring water.

After all, the hot springs belong to Yi Shuihan. If Yi Shuihan agrees, he can give them to whomever he wants without needing any reason.

However, even the Xiaoqiangs, who felt they had a good relationship with Yi Shuihan, unanimously ignored the fourth option. It wasn't that they couldn't think of it, but that passing the test that way would be too embarrassing, and besides, it wasn't like Yi Shuihan would agree just because they went there, right?

Ten minutes have passed.

The candidates at the Wanjie Hot Spring Resort had all left. Only a little over half of them went to the National Martial Arts Hall with a try-it-out mentality, a small half were interested in the Intimate Paradise, and finally, there were about a few dozen people who were there to do good deeds.

On an unnamed street in Konoha, a group of examinees kept looking around.

Suddenly, one of the test takers ran toward an elderly woman who looked like she had great difficulty walking.

The other candidates looked regretful, as if they felt they were too late.

"Hey, ma'am, do you want to cross the street? If so, I can help you."

The candidate tried his best to appear natural, but little did he know that his behavior was seen as very strange by the old man.

The old woman was just an ordinary person, and ninjas were high and mighty in her eyes. Even when she was issuing missions, she wasn't this polite.

Most importantly, this candidate was clearly not a Konoha ninja, making him even less likely to gain trust.

The old man looked at the examinee warily, and in the expectant gaze of the examinee, he said three words: "I'm waiting for someone."

"Oh, you want to go over there? Then I'll help you..." Before the candidate could finish speaking, he finally realized what the old lady was talking about and stared at her blankly, not knowing what to say next.

Waiting for someone? What the heck? We're clearly going to get there!

The test taker watched as the elderly man, who had just finished speaking, shakily crossed the road. He almost didn't go over to force himself to do a good deed.

A group of ninjas, who are learning from Lei Feng and promoting the spirit of good deeds, are active in the streets and alleys of Konoha.

With their presence, Konoha seemed to transform into a utopian society. People no longer picked up lost items, thieves dared not steal anymore, thugs dared not do bad things anymore, and even if children were bullied, several ninjas would come out and teach them a lesson with their fists.

During the three days of this first exam, Konoha reduced D-rank and below missions by 3%, because everyone discovered that there was no need to issue missions; they could simply shout at their doorstep and ninjas from their own village or other villages would come to help.

The villagers seemed to have tasted the benefits. Ordinary people who had previously only regarded the Chunin Exams as news praised the Hokage's benevolence and expressed their hope that similar events could be held more often in the future.

Let's not even talk about the ninjas who are trying to do a hundred good deeds and searching everywhere for a paradise for their loved ones.

The martial arts school was already bustling with activity.

Konoha's National Martial Arts Academy, being the closest to Yi Shuihan, boasts a strength and foundation far surpassing other National Martial Arts Academyes. Besides locals, many visitors from other places come specifically to admire Yi Shuihan's reputation.

The current person in charge of this martial arts school is Ye Gucheng, Yi Shuihan's disciple, who is known as the White Cloud Sword Saint.

What? You're asking why the head of the martial arts academy is called the White Cloud Sword Saint, which has nothing to do with martial arts? I can only say that a nickname is just a nickname, please don't get any ideas.

Having received the news from Yi Shuihan long ago, Ye Gucheng was very well prepared. When the examinees arrived, there were already 100 Dark Force martial artists standing by, ready to fight at any time.

Especially when Ye Gucheng promised that for every 10 examinees defeated, one would receive guidance from Yi Shuihan, these martial artists, who originally did not want to bully the weak with numbers, suddenly became two hundred percent enthusiastic.

A martial artist's dignity and pride? What are those? Can you eat them? They're nothing compared to a single word of guidance from Yi Shuihan. Compared to the improvement of strength, everything else is just fleeting!

The 100 martial artists with internal strength were divided into 20 groups of 2 people each and 20 groups of 3 people each. They were also given numbers and came in one group at a time, so there was no issue of the candidates choosing.

"My master is really strange. He specifically instructed me to make sure the examinees feel they have a chance to win, and preferably defeat them by a very small margin." Although he said this, Ye Gucheng looked expectant.

To prevent the test takers from being deceived, a special battleground was prepared, ensuring that the details of each battle were kept secret from anyone other than the test takers themselves.

The candidates arrived at the martial arts academy and began their journey of being ganged up on at least once. Out of hundreds of candidates, only a few dozen actually passed on their first try, while the remaining ninety percent of the candidates went further and further down the path of being beaten again and again.

While the Chunin Exams in Konoha were in full swing, incidents of martial arts practitioners beating up ninjas broke out in places around the world with martial arts schools.

There have been instances where as few as three or five people, or as many as dozens, beat up a single ninja, and there have even been cases where hundreds of martial artists beat up an elite Jonin.

It can be said that apart from ninjas of Kage level and above, almost all ninjas below that level suffered at the hands of the poisoner.

Chapter 401, Beating Up the Ninja in Action

On the street, a ninja wearing an unknown ninja headband was looking around smugly at a scantily clad young woman. When he saw ordinary people nearby, he raised his head high as if he disdained them.

He was a ninja, someone ordinary people couldn't afford to mess with. So, everyone could only remain silent and pretend they didn't see his arrogance, cursing him inwardly.

He's just a ninja, what's the big deal?

Suddenly, a series of loud and concentrated footsteps rang out, and then everyone saw a group of people wearing monkey masks rushing towards the only ninja on the street.

"That's him! He's a ninja! Brothers, let's go!"

A loud shout rang out, and the ordinary people scattered, leaving only a bewildered ninja exposed in the middle of the street.

immediately,

"What are you trying to do? I'm a ninja, are you looking for death?"

The ninja shoved the young woman beside him aside, drew a large sword, and roared fiercely but inwardly.

However, he was met with a barrage of fists the size of sandbags.

"what!"

Two fists can't beat four hands, but here there were more than four hands, so the ninja could only scream, and eventually even the screams stopped.

The beating came quickly and went quickly. About three minutes later, the people wearing monkey masks hurriedly left to find the next unlucky victim, leaving only a ninja on the ground who was barely recognizable as a human.

Such incidents continued to occur in different places, and countless ninjas suffered as a result in just a few days.

People jokingly referred to these people who suddenly appeared and beat up the ninjas as "helpers summoned by the monkeys."

At first, they were extremely afraid of them, but later they found out that they were only dealing with ninjas, so they gradually lowered their guard. In the end, they even watched with pleasure as the ninjas were beaten up. Their first reaction to this situation was not to leave, but to watch.

The ninjas who hadn't yet been beaten up immediately became very careful to hide their identities, fearing that they too would be beaten up for no reason by the helpers the monkey had called.

Although no one admitted it, people had already guessed the identities of those who beat up the ninjas: martial artists who had studied traditional Chinese martial arts.

It's not hard to guess. After all, if they were just ordinary people, a few or ten people could handle a regular genin, but a more powerful ninja would be beyond their capabilities. A powerful elite chunin could easily slaughter hundreds of ordinary people.

"The first exam is over. Those of you who have received the hot spring water, please follow me to the location of the second exam."

Uchiha Itachi looked expressionlessly at the dozens of people below, but his mind was already racing. The first round eliminated 90% of the candidates, making it arguably the most severe Chunin Exam ever.

Keep in mind that this is only the first round; there will be a second and a third round. After the exams, there will probably only be around 10 people who will become Chunin.

It's obvious that Konoha students will make up more than half of the final Chunin candidates. I wonder if the people from the other five great ninja villages will protest after the exam.

The exam continued, but Yi Shuihan's mind was no longer on the candidates.

"The mission was completed just like that? That's really..."
