The second exam, the fifth day.
All the teams that arrived at the tower early received a notice to gather at the venue at 2 o 'clock in the afternoon.
Aoyama and the others also leisurely rushed to the venue. Aromatic Phosphorus was also brought along by Aoyama. An opportunity like the Chunin Exam to watch the battle can't be wasted! When the time comes, Karin can just watch from the side.
"Aoyama, you guys came really early." Shikamaru yawned lazily. It was almost noon, but he still looked like he hadn't woken up yet.
"It's better to be late than early. It's boring to stay in the room." Aoyama complained. If he didn't have the scroll from Danzō, he would be bored to death.
"We just arrived in the morning, and we didn't even have time to rest before we were called out." Ino looked depressed. Obviously, these days weren't easy.
As for Dingji, he was satisfied as long as there was food. He was holding a large bag of chips behind the team, immersed in his own world.
Soon everyone arrived at the venue. The venue was built at the bottom of the tower. It was quite spacious, and there were very interesting decorations. A pair of hand seals. At this time, all the qualified people had arrived.
Aoyama saw Naruto, who was injured all over, and Sasuke, who was trembling slightly. It seemed that Sasuke had a hard time enduring the curse. In addition, Natsume, the lively girl from Celestial Palace, was also standing with his two teammates.
After a few glances, the original class's twelve rookies were all here. Gaara's three siblings, the Sound Ninja trio, Kabuto's team, and now because of Moonlight's appearance, there were three more of them, as well as Chao Binai and Natsume's team, a total of 27 people.
Yuehua looked at the high platform again. Sandaime and Anko were standing in front, and behind them were a large number of Konoha's Jonin. Kakashi, Guy, and the others were all here, and Qian Yu was also there. Karin was quietly standing behind Qian Yu. Anyway, Qian Yu was also standing aside, so he was not conspicuous at all.
"First of all, congratulations on passing the second Chunin Exam." Three Generations looked around and found that all twelve newcomers had passed. They couldn't help but smile bitterly. They thought that only Aoyama's team could pass, but they didn't expect all the newcomers to pass.
Anko's face was cold as she stared at the candidates fiercely. "Next, let's invite Hokage-sama to explain the information about the third exam. Listen carefully, no whispering is allowed."
Seeing that all the candidates were quiet, Anko was satisfied and then looked at Three Generations. "Hokage-sama, please."
"Ahem, first of all, I want to tell you that the next exam will be a battle of life and death. For your dreams and the prestige of your village, you have to fight with your life." Three Generations's face was serious, and his tone was cold without a trace of warmth.
"This exam is not only the Chunin Exam, but also a miniature version of the war between the major countries. Your performance will fall into the eyes of the invited Daimyo and celebrities of various countries, and will determine their judgment of the strength of the major ninja villages, which will affect the number of missions received by the village. To put it bluntly, this is the economic lifeline, so fight with all your might!"
Three Generations' words exposed the struggle of the ninja world, and this was only the surface, the real darkness had not been revealed yet. Even so, the complexion of Naruto and the others changed.
"Then, quickly tell us how to fight with your life on the line, don't talk nonsense." My Love had an impatient look.
"Although I really want to say it, but …"
The youth that suddenly appeared in front of Three Generations interrupted Three Generations' words. "Please forgive me for being rude, Hokage-sama, the following matters will be handled by me, Hayate Gekko, who is in charge of the adjudication work."
The youth with a sickly look turned around and looked at Aoyama and the other candidates.
"Hello, I am Hayate Gekko, before the third exam … ahem … ahem … we will first have a preliminary round. Because the first and second exam were too simple, and there are too many people left behind, we will have a preliminary round here to reduce the number of people left behind." Hayate Gekko said with a sickly look, immediately causing an uproar.
"Why is there a preliminary round? Didn't we already pass the second exam? I have never heard of there being a preliminary round before. "Sakura asked very intensely.
"I have already said, there are too many people left behind, the daimyo and nobles do not have the time to watch your competition. Is there any other problem? If there is anyone who wants to give up, quickly say it, the preliminary round is about to start. "Hayate Gekko swept his gaze across the candidates. "There is one more thing, the competition that you will be having next will be an individual battle, even if your teammates give up, it won't have any effect."
When Hayate Gekko said that, there was immediately a reaction.
"We give up." Heaven Temple Natsume's two teammates straightforwardly raised their hands and looked at Aoyama in fear. If not for Natsume telling them, they would not even know who defeated them. In any case, they did not have any fighting spirit right now, all of them were as strong as monsters, they did not have any hope at all.
Aoyama sized up Heaven Temple Natsume who did not give up. This lively young lady had a determined expression on her face, it seemed that she had already made up her mind.
Very soon, as expected, the super spy Dou also gave up and successfully attracted the attention of Three Generations. However, Dou was also going to pack up and run away very soon, so there was nothing to worry about.
After waiting for a few more minutes, no one made a sound. Hayate Gekko coughed lightly and slowly said, "Then, for the remaining 24 people, we will have a one on one battle without any restrictions. The battle will only end when one side dies, falls, or admits defeat. So, everyone, prepare yourselves, if you are not a match for your opponent, it is better for you to admit defeat as soon as possible."
The killing intent in Hayate Gekko's words caused quite a few people to lightly tremble. Hayate Gekko continued, "And the one that will decide your fate is … this!"
Following Hayate Gekko's finger, a rectangular display appeared on the wall behind him.
"The names of the people that will be fighting next will be displayed on this display." Hayate Gekko took a look at everyone indifferently, "Right now, the name of the first group will be displayed."
Everyone cast their gaze towards the display and nervously waited for the name on the display. The display flickered for quite a while before finally stopping.
"White VS Tian Tian."
Hayate Gekko retracted his gaze and coughed lightly, "Then, let's have the two people whose names are displayed on the display come up. The rest of the people, go to the two sides of the spectator stand."
"White, as long as you can win, it will be fine." Aoyama reminded White, then slowly walked towards the spectator stand with Zi. In his opinion, there was no suspense at all in this battle.
On the other side, the young lady with her hair tied up in a bun, Tian Tian, stood opposite White. Looking at White who had a smile on his face, she also revealed a strong fighting spirit.
"The first round will be between White and Tian Tian. Do you have any objections?" Hayate Gekko stood between the two and asked very professionally.
"No." The young man and young lady replied at the same time.
