Chapter 1206 Bribery
Naruto admitted defeat. How could a young man like him be better than the knowledgeable Duran? So his seduction plan failed: "Too superficial, I can't let you pass."
The sun was already high in the sky, and the candidates had already digested their breakfast. Many of them were grumbling. Two consecutive written tests were too stressful for the Genin.
Naruto sat back in his seat dejectedly. He was very confident. In his impression, no man could resist his seduction. Duran was the first guy who remained calm.
Many ninjas were still ready to continue doing the questions. Anyway, they only needed to get five questions right, and they could cheat. It was much easier than pleasing the examiner.
But there were also ninjas who did not give up pleasing Duran. A female ninja from the Hidden Mist Village stood up. She was very young and probably two years younger than Naruto. She looked very cute and stood in front of Duran in a short skirt: "Examiner brother, if I can guess what you are thinking, can you let me pass?" The girl was really cute with red lips and white teeth.
Listening to my brother is much more comfortable than Naruto calling me "Uncle Principal". Besides, cuteness is justice. Duran gave her a face: "Of course." This should be one of the Genin brought by Bai. The Hidden Mist Village has been almost eliminated, with only the last team left.
Even a village in a small country was completely wiped out. It can only be said that the Chunin Exam is not easy.
Hearing Duran's agreement, the girl smiled with her big eyes: "I guess my brother wants to eliminate all of us." "Am I right?"
Looking at the cunning eyes of the little loli, Duran thought that this little girl must be a fairy when she grows up. She actually played a brain teaser with herself.
If Duran said that she thought so, then the little girl guessed her mind and she had to let her go. If she denied it, it meant that she was not going to eliminate them all, which meant that she lowered the bottom line for them to pass.
"Brother, why don't you answer?"
"Hahaha, interesting." She deserves recognition for her quick wit at her age: "You passed."
"Thank you, brother." The little girl turned around and looked down on the people who were still concentrating on the questions. She was young but had a lot of scheming. The ninjas were so angry that they wanted to rush out and beat the girl up.
"By the way, what's your name?"
"Brother Bai named me Qing, so I'll be Qing."
Duran nodded: "Then you are the first one to pass the exam, go ahead."
After Qing passed, another ninja stood up and walked in front of Duran: "How much money do you need to let me pass this level?" The ninja was Temari from the Kingdom of Wind. She hadn't completed the questions before and had to rely on the answers sent by her brother Kankuro to barely do a few questions. Now she knew that it was impossible for her brother to take the second written test, so she was straightforward and prepared to bribe Duran.
"Okay, 10 million for a beautiful girl or a handsome guy, 15 million for an average-looking girl, and 20 million for an ugly girl." Duran's standard of charging according to appearance made everyone ashamed.
Kakashi and the others felt that they were meeting Duran for the first time, and they never knew that Duran was a person who cared about appearance. But Duran was indeed a person who cared about appearance, but he didn't usually say it.
Temari was silent, and then took out a bag of money from her pocket: "Here are 5 million, and I will write an IOU for the remaining 5 million and I will definitely send it after the exam."
Ten million is not expensive for Temari. Although the Sand Village is poor, she is the eldest daughter of the Fourth Kazekage, and she has been a ninja for some years and has some savings.
Duran was stunned by Temari's firm 10 million, as if she was very confident in her appearance: "How do you know that I will only charge you 10 million? Beauty and ugliness are not something you say, but it is up to me to judge."
"Don't you think I'm not beautiful?" Temari seemed shocked that Duran wanted to charge more money, obviously her beauty only required 10 million.
Duran was speechless, this girl is also powerful, and thick-skinned. But forget it, although Temari is not as beautiful as a fairy, she is indeed a little beauty: "I'll give you a discount, 10 million is 10 million."
Temari gave the money and wrote an IOU, and left in style.
The other ninjas gritted their teeth, and 10 million was not a lot, so they stood up and prepared to bribe.
"You have to pay 20 million." Duran looked at Kanjiro's black and white face and said expressionlessly: "Your makeup is too ugly."
"Damn, you guy?!" Kanjiro didn't have that much money, because his puppet was very expensive and he didn't have much savings. But in order to pass the exam, he had to borrow money: "I'll write an IOU and give it to you after the exam."
"Okay, 20 million, not a penny less." "And you have to pay 20 million for your panda eyes, what kind of person are you, you ninjas need to improve your aesthetic taste." Duran ridiculed.
The Sand Village team dared to be angry but didn't dare to speak.
Naruto also wanted to bribe, but he didn't have that much money. Seeing that everyone wrote an IOU to pass, he was wondering if he should write an IOU himself.
Half of the people left, and the rest were either capable or poor. There were still 30 people left in the classroom. Some of them were concentrating on doing the questions. Sasuke did not cheat this time but calmed down to do the questions. It was not that he did not know how to do these questions, but he just did not like to do them.
As expected, there were still many top students in Konoha Village, such as Hinata, Sakura, Neji, and Shikamaru.
Seeing that the rest of the people were doing the questions carefully, Naruto, who had failed once, mustered up the courage to please Duran again: "Uncle Principal, you are the best. You are the best good person in Konoha Village." He gave Duran a good person card.
Duran said he would continue. Flattery is not limited to this vocabulary, right? "Just good? Am I not handsome and suave? Am I not beautiful and graceful? I am also knowledgeable, humble, amiable, approachable, etc. Why don't you say anything?"
Naruto doesn't have so many words, and other ninjas also think Duran is too shameless. Who taught children to flatter like this?
Naruto was scratching his head and thinking of words of praise: "Uncle, you are my Ichiraku Ramen, and everyone can't live without you."
"No, no, it's hard for me to let you pass if you do this." Duran said that Naruto needs to study harder.
"Uncle, how about I write you an IOU?" Naruto really had no choice: "Can I pay the money?"
"Of course, but if you can't pay it back, the consequences will be very serious." Not only for Naruto, but also for other ninjas who wrote IOUs. If they don't pay it back, Duran will make them regret it.
"Don't worry, uncle. I will give you the salary for each mission in the future, and I will definitely pay back the 10 million." He was quite confident.
"It's not 10 million, it's 15 million." Duran thought to himself, how many times should he say that he will judge the level, why are they all so confident?
"15 million is 15 million." Naruto gritted his teeth and agreed. After writing the IOU, he passed the exam. Turning to Sasuke and Sakura who were still doing the questions, he said, "I'll wait for you outside, you must pass."
Sasuke and Sakura saw that Naruto passed in this way, although they thought it was ridiculous, but they also knew that Naruto had no other choice.
But Duran showed a sly smile. The IOU of the future Hokage was in hand. In a few years, the value of this IOU would be far more than 15 million.
