The next day, in a large square.
The people who passed the second exam have been waiting here in advance.
Just like the last time, people from various villages consciously gathered together and excitedly discussed the next exam.
There was only one exception, Rock Crypsis.
In the area where Rock Crypsis was located, Purple Earth stood alone, even worse than those small ninja villages. If it wasn't for the requirement that all teams pass, Rock Crypsis would have been wiped out by now!
Seeing this situation, many people were gloating.
"Pfft, is this the Rock Crypsis of the Five Great Ninja Villages? It's really funny! "
"Gee, I heard that they and Kirin's If You Don't Kill ambushed Shimizu Garashi together, but they were killed instead!"
"Hey, isn't it good to be alive?"
"However, Wood Leaf's Shimizu Garashi is too powerful! With so many people ambushing him, If You Don't Kill and Purple Earth, they were defeated by him alone! "
"It seems that the first place of this Chunin Exam is definitely him!"
In the eyes of these people, Garashi suddenly walked towards Marky's position.
Seeing Garashi coming, the Sand Crypsis area suddenly became chaotic.
"You, what do you want to do?"
"Don't come over!"
"Wait, the exam hasn't started yet!"
They were frightened by Garashi's record last night, and today, they heard that Rock Crypsis was killed, so they had some PTSD when they saw Garashi.
Their overreaction confused Shushi. 'I don't think I've done anything strange to them, have I?'
Garashi said helplessly, "Although I don't know why you are so excited, I actually came to apologize."
"I lost the previous bet …" Zhang Xuan sighed.
Marky shook his head slightly, after really understanding the gap between the two sides, he also realized that his previous idea was ridiculous. This kind of "victory" has no meaning except to make him unable to see the situation clearly.
"Don't mind it. That bet …"
But before he could finish, his voice was drowned out by the others.
"Haha, don't say that. There's no winning or losing in a friendly competition."
"That's right. Brother Marky lost to Yūki, but he didn't even apologize!"
"Some people may have won, but they have also lost. Some people may have lost, but they have already won!"
Seeing their disgraceful behavior, Zhong Liang was so angry that he almost vomited blood. Were they really not sent by other villages to ruin the reputation of the Sand Crypsis?
Garashi was also at a loss. He sighed, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "You guys from Sand Crypsis are too friendly!"
Marky's face stiffened. It's fine if you guys licked him, but why did you have to step on me as well?
"Then I'll head back first. I hope to see everyone in the official competition."
Seeing that Garashi had left, the Sand Crypsis finally heaved a sigh of relief.
"Hey, fortunately, we're smart!"
"Well, the crisis is over. Marky -dage, you have to thank us when you go back this time!"
"Yes, Marky -dage, your reaction was too slow!"
"Well, if it weren't for us covering for you, you might have been killed in the exam just like If You Don't Kill!"
Ma Ji: (* * * □ ′) * * * * ─
…
A few minutes later, Sandaime-sama walked to the front of the stage.
"I'm very happy to see all the outstanding ninjas from all the major villages gathered together, although everyone is from different countries …"
After a long speech, Sandaime-sama finally ended his speech and got to the point. "There will be many Daimyo and Shinobi village leaders from all over the world who will come to watch the selection, so time is limited, and we can't drag it out too much, and this time, the number of people who passed the second exam is unprecedented, with a total number of 217 people …"
Everyone in the field looked back and forth. Compared with the past, the scale of this joint Chunin Exam is indeed too big!
"Wood Leaf 60, Yunin 51, Sand Crypsis 21, Kirin 17, Rock Crypsis 1, and the rest of the small villages have 3 to 9 people …" Garashi couldn't help but sigh, "Yunin's average strength is really strong. If I didn't threaten All Snakes, the number of people who passed might be higher than Wood Leaf."
In the front, Sandaime-sama continued, "The quota for the official competition is 32 people, so today's qualifier will use the Arena Mode! There will be a total of 16 Arena Matches, with 13 to 14 people in each Arena, and two people will be allowed to pass each round. "
"If you understand, then get ready for the exam. As for the grouping arrangement, I will have someone post it on the bulletin board."
As soon as his voice fell, the field became lively.
"Why are we divided into 16 matches? Isn't it better to have 32 matches? "
"Maybe it's because 32 matches took too long. Moreover, the difference between 13 and 14 people is relatively smaller than the difference between 6 and 7 people."
"As for why it's not 8 matches, it's mostly because they are worried that the advantage in numbers will offset the gap in strength."
"The Arena is only so big, and there is no way to make distance. Without enough time to make hand seals, even the strong may be defeated by the weak."
"Indeed, the number of people now is just a little bit interesting."
"In this way, Wood Leaf and Yunin have too much of an advantage!"
"It's not as exaggerated as you think. On average, they only have 3 to 4 people in each Arena. They won't have an absolute advantage, and they may be targeted by others."
While everyone was discussing heatedly, Asma came over and asked, "Garashi, how's the situation in your group?"
Garashi's gaze swept across the bulletin board. "I'm in the fifth group. Including me, there are two people from Wood Leaf, five from Yunin, three from Sand Crypsis, and one from Kirin. The other three are from Hidden Star, Hidden Tang, and Hidden Rain."
Asma glanced through the names of these people, and then nodded as if he understood something. "Other than you, Garashi, there is no one powerful in this group. It seems that the old man did it on purpose, and deliberately did not let us, the strong ones, meet in advance."
"After all, Master Naruto wants to make sure that the battles in the official competition are exciting enough." Garashi said, and then warned with a serious expression, "However, it doesn't mean that the strong will definitely pass. The more famous you are, the easier it is to be targeted!"
Asma waved his hand indifferently. "Don't worry, there are six people in my group, including me, who are all from Wood Leaf."
Garashi's eyes twitched. Was this really not a conspiracy?
Asma pointed in a certain direction and laughed. "The ones who should be worried are Rock Crypsis. He's famous, and he's only one person. If he's targeted by others, maybe even his last seedling will be uprooted!"
Looking at the lineup of Purple Earth's group, Garashi's expression became more and more strange.
Although there were no strong characters in this group, they were not weak either. If they cooperated well, it was entirely possible for them to defeat Purple Earth.
Most importantly, none of these villages were on good terms with Rock Crypsis.
"Hokage-sama is going to … Kill them all, kill them all!"
