I ,Sasuke , Why Should I Defect To Konoha

The intense, critical atmosphere in the exam hall was palpable as Ibiki Morino began explaining the rules for the written portion of the Chunin Exams. Naruto's shock was almost comical as he realized that, of all things, he'd have to face a written test. His widened eyes and slack jaw betrayed the dread he felt. Written exams were his worst nightmare, and the pressure was immediate and intense.

As Ibiki continued outlining the rules, candidates across the room showed a range of reactions. Sasuke, who was watching Naruto with a smirk, felt a seriousness in his own heart. Passing the exam wasn't just about meeting the basic requirements; he needed to exceed expectations to prove his worth as a future Chunin.

A few minutes later, the exam officially began. With Ibiki's command, each candidate turned their attention to the daunting questions on the test paper. Sakura's expression tightened in panic. The questions were complicated, far beyond what she'd expected, and a fear welled up inside her—if she couldn't answer these questions, she might be eliminated. And Naruto would be just as helpless. Their only hope lay with Sasuke.

Sasuke, meanwhile, calmly activated his Sharingan, his eyes glowing red as he scanned the room. By copying the writing of a nearby candidate, he quickly deduced the hidden meaning behind the exam's structure—it wasn't just about intelligence; it was a test of stealth and observation.

One of the assistant examiners watching Sasuke muttered to his colleague, impressed by how quickly Sasuke had adapted. "Look at that Uchiha kid; he's already onto the essence of the test. The Sharingan is powerful, but knowing when and how to use it—that's real talent."

While the top-tier genin like Sasuke were beginning to understand the exam's hidden challenge, others remained clueless, scratching their heads in confusion. Meanwhile, Naruto was fidgeting, his paper still blank as he struggled against his fear of failure. In his mind, failing this test would mean letting down both Sasuke and Sakura.

Sasuke, having finished his answers, looked around and caught sight of Naruto. He noticed Hinata sitting nearby, clearly anxious and occasionally glancing at Naruto. Ignoring everyone, Sasuke walked over, laid his paper down on Naruto's desk, and took Naruto's blank test paper without a word. Naruto, blinking in surprise, noticed Sasuke's name written at the top of the filled-out paper in front of him.

One of the assistant examiners, still watching Sasuke closely, could hardly believe what he saw. "What's that kid doing? Doesn't he know the rules?"

Ibiki's stern voice cut through the murmurs. "Stop right there, Uchiha Sasuke!"

Sasuke turned, expression cool and unconcerned. "What?"

"You do realize what you just did is considered blatant cheating?" one examiner snarled, clearly frustrated with what he saw as Sasuke's disregard for the rules.

"Cheating? You made the rules yourself," Sasuke replied, glancing at the examiner with a smirk. "Everyone here is allowed five attempts at cheating. So I used one—take off two points if you want, but I haven't broken any rules."

The room fell silent as Sasuke's words settled over the other candidates. Sakura's face brightened, realizing Sasuke was right, while Naruto could barely contain his admiration. The rule about five attempts had seemed strict at first, but Sasuke's strategy brought the loophole to everyone's attention: as long as they were open about their methods, they weren't breaking any rules.

Sasuke's approach was bold but undeniably effective. It quickly became clear to all present, including the examiners, that he wasn't just strong but also cunning. This was no ordinary candidate but someone destined for great things. Morino Ibiki, overseeing the entire scene, was left speechless. Sasuke, with his clever maneuver, had turned what could have been his team's downfall into an example of exactly what the Chunin Exams were designed to evaluate: skill, intelligence, and courage.

Ibiki's stern look faded slightly as he allowed himself a small smile. These kids were going to be interesting to watch.
