** The written part of the Chuunin Exam is one example. The test consists of nine incredibly difficult written problems and one mystery question, and cheaters are disqualified after being caught cheating a few times. The true purpose of the test is not to determine the candidate’s knowledge, but to test their ability to cheat and gather information discreetly. Naruto accidentally discovers a real loophole in the written test-- it's not actually necessary to ''answer'' the written questions, because you automatically pass if you reach and correctly answer the last question (a SecretTestOfCharacter) without being disqualified for being caught cheating. Naruto therefore manages to pass with an entirely blank sheet of paper, since doing nothing isn't cheating. This is actually an accidental abuse of ''two'' loopholes by Naruto, since the proctor also explained that you get points deducted for every wrong answer as opposed to being ''awarded'' points for a ''correct'' answer, though he didn't point out this distinction to the examinees. Naruto didn't give any wrong answers because he didn't answer any of the questions at all. The proctor is rather amused by Naruto's blank piece of paper that passes the test with full points. Sakura also passes without cheating-- she's smart enough to just answer the questions the regular way.

After a tense few moments, Miraschon appears to have beaten them after a guard she bribed intercepts a throw from Jolyne. However, the exact terms of the bet only stated that Jolyne had to be part of the game and said nothing about who her partner had to be. And since the guard was within three meters of Jolyne, the bet hadn't been lost yet. [[note]]This plays out a little differently in the anime, with the guard confiscating the ball and Jolyne using Stone Free to get it back. Marilyn Manson still counted this as a "catch".[[/note]] Furthermore, at this point, Jolyne is trapped inside an elevator with Miraschon, which the latter had assumed would lead to Jolyne losing the bet due to not being able to pass the ball to F.F. in time. However, due to the above-mentioned loophole, Jolyne proceeds to promptly [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown bounce the ball off of Miraschon's face a thousand times]] to win the bet.

** The written part of the Chuunin Exam is one example. The test consists of nine incredibly difficult written problems and one mystery question, and cheaters are disqualified after being caught cheating a few times. The true purpose of the test is not to determine the candidate’s knowledge, but to test their ability to cheat and gather information discretely. Naruto accidentally discovers a real loophole in the written test-- it's not actually necessary to ''answer'' the written questions, because you automatically pass if you reach and correctly answer the last question (a SecretTestOfCharacter) without being disqualified for being caught cheating. Naruto therefore manages to pass with an entirely blank sheet of paper, since doing nothing isn't cheating. This is actually an accidental abuse of ''two'' loopholes by Naruto, since the proctor also explained that you get points deducted for every wrong answer as opposed to being ''awarded'' points for a ''correct'' answer, though he didn't point out this distinction to the examinees. Naruto didn't give any wrong answers because he didn't answer any of the questions at all. The proctor is rather amused by Naruto's blank piece of paper that passes the test with full points. Sakura also passes without cheating-- she's smart enough to just answer the questions the regular way.
