Be the Main God from Naruto - Chapter 62

Mocked by Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke’s face turned an ashen blue.

Seeing his score of “64” on the individual ranking list, his frustration was indescribable.

Had he known the written test would only assess such simple concepts, he wouldn’t have spent so much effort analyzing each multiple-choice question in depth.

Especially seeing Naruto’s score of 65, he felt personally targeted.

It wasn’t him who was wrong—it was the world!
Why did Naruto, who only scored 2 points on the essay question and is an idiot, score higher than him?
This so-called “100% objective” written test indeed had no reason to exist!

After Naruto’s burst of mocking laughter, his expression gradually turned gloomy.

He suddenly remembered something Wang Yan, their instructor, had once said…

“If you don’t reach the top five, I’ll let you die once.”

If any other teacher had said that, Naruto would have just made a face and not taken it to heart.

Unfortunately, Wang Yan was someone who always meant what he said.

Naruto swallowed hard, moistening his drying throat, sweat beading on his forehead.

Although the written test was worth fewer points than the practical, performing poorly on it made it impossible to rank in the top five!

However, as they say, luck always favors fools; perhaps there was some truth.

Rock Lee and Sakura Haruno scored impressively high—93 points each in this written test!
Tenten often underestimated, performed exceptionally well, scoring the second-highest in the venue with 99 points!
Thus, the scores for Team 7 were 64+65+93+93+99, totaling 414 points!
Three gods and two drags!
Thanks to the high scores of Sakura, Lee, and Tenten, even though Naruto and Sasuke dragged their feet, the new Team 7 still stood out in the written section, breaking into the top hundred.

This gave them a non-zero chance of making it into the top five.

After all, the teams with formidable hard power did not do as well on the team-written tests.

Even the formidable Akatsuki only totaled 401 points due to Kisame and Hidan holding them back.

Naturally, the team that scored first place was created by the quiz-setter’s split personality—the “Butcher Squad.”

Riven, Yasuo, Master Yi, Tryndamere, and Fiora—who could surpass them in unity of knowledge and action?
Their team scored a blinding perfect score of 500 points.

The audience murmured among themselves, discussing the origins of this squad.

Many leaders from the large-name protection squads and inspection teams cast appreciative glances at them, seemingly with recruitment intentions.

Those who could follow through on their convictions, whether ninjas or warriors, possessed great potential and value for cultivation!
Unfortunately, the Butcher Squad quintet completely ignored these high-ranking recruiters.

Though they each used different excuses, the outcome was the same.

Unaccustomed to rejection, some leaders felt a significant loss of face and thought about settling scores later.

But their plots were stillborn before they could begin.

The lords of the five great nations severely reprimanded them, and the matter was considered settled.

As the crowd continued to discuss, Wang Yan seemed to vanish into thin air, slowly dissipating.

This miraculous sight elicited gasps from many spectators.

But soon, the crowd calmed down.

Some spectators who had observed Wang Yan’s method of appearance acted as reassurances.

Although they were merely passing along errors, saying it was Wang Yan’s special Kekkei Genkai, it was a positive portrayal, and the officials of Konoha did not deny these claims.

The intellectual, energetic, belief-based, and human nature competition had exhausted the candidates, while the audience found it immensely entertaining.

The host’s voice rang out again: “The first day of the Chunin Exam concludes successfully! Tomorrow begins the practical phase! We hope all candidates are fully prepared to give more than 100% of their ability! Show off your brilliance!”

The first phase of the strongest Chunin Exam in history concluded perfectly.

The audience, having seen many novel things, reluctantly left the arena.

Watching Tsunade and Jiraiya busy to exhaustion, Orochimaru leisurely flipped through a novel called “Infinite Terror.”

This book, of course, was also pulled from Jiraiya’s collection.

He read quickly, able to process ten lines in a glance.

After finishing, Orochimaru closed the book and headed towards the technology department.

He didn’t understand why the Main God in the book didn’t allow reincarnators to reveal information about the Main God and the Reincarnation Space to those from the so-called “real world.”

After all, that “real world” was just a low-m

agic plane where power was collective, personal cultivation was futile, and no existence could threaten the Main God. Orochimaru found this setting puzzling.

“Perhaps it’s to drive the plot and highlight character traits,” he thought.

Maybe this “Infinite Terror” was also a prophecy book, but what did that matter? Prophecies are just prophecies, and once a power surpasses a certain level and intervenes in reality, the predetermined world lines and destinies lose their original meaning.

Even so, the book inspired Orochimaru significantly.

“Perhaps, using the reward points to create a person option, I can craft a sage without emotions, unaffected by subjective factors, to be my research assistant.”

Thinking about Naruto’s recent performance gave Orochimaru a bit of a headache.

Despite having the potential and talent to become a top-tier scientist, Naruto was endlessly imaginative but stuck on basic knowledge. These past few days I have indeed been an eye-opener to him.

It wasn’t an issue of memory or intelligence, purely a personality trait that made Naruto subconsciously resist textual knowledge. Even if it were forcibly fed into his mind, he would forget most of it by the next day.

Despite various reservations, Naruto’s verbal persuasions ultimately won over Orochimaru, and their relationship gradually warmed.

Even being called “Snake Uncle” by Naruto didn’t bother him anymore.

…

The next day.

Dawn broke with gentle light and a warm breeze.

In the Konoha Technology Department, on the seventh floor,

“Snake Uncle, can you fix the laggard Sasuke’s written test scores?”

Barging into Orochimaru’s lab, Naruto shamelessly shouted, “Sasuke did so poorly. He’s seriously dragging our Team 7 down! Our instructor will kill us if we don’t make the top five overall!”

Behind Naruto, Sasuke’s face turned even darker.

“Shut up, idiot! Be serious!”

Sasuke couldn’t understand why this fool, who scored only one point higher than him, felt entitled to look down on him.

Orochimaru smirked wickedly, about to say something, but suddenly closed his eyes.

“Have the hidden scum finally shown themselves?”

He opened his eyes, a cold, sinister light shining within.

That coldness swiftly turned to astonishment.

“Danzo… has he lost his mind?”
