At noon, the sun hung high in the sky.
The temperature outside the Central Tower gradually rose, but inside the tower, it was gloomy, like the Ice Age!
After the twelve teams of thirty-six people all entered the Central Tower, the second death assessment officially ended!
But most of the genin who passed the exam had gloomy expressions and malicious eyes!
"Gaara, you bastard, how dare you play with me!" Mizuki stared fiercely at Gaara, his mouth full of fangs, and he couldn't wait to devour his flesh!
If Haku didn't stop him just now, he would have been surrounded by the sea of people and couldn't extricate himself!
Gourd Brother crossed his arms and stared at the ground with a blank face, completely ignoring Mizuki.
"Bastard, I'm talking to you, why are you pretending to be mute!" Mizuki rushed to his face, but when he saw Gaara's eyes without the slightest human emotion, he was a little scared.
"Mizuki, I advise you to stay away from him, otherwise, you won't even know how you died." The 14-year-old uncle Kankuro sneered.
"Mizuki, we are just temporary cooperation, and we have already said in advance that we can stop at any time depending on the situation, so don't make a scene here, no one will spoil you." Temari said.
Bastard!
Gaara doesn't dare to provoke you, but don't you dare to provoke you?
Don't look down on people!
Gui Deng Shuiyue rolled up his sleeves and rushed up to this pair of kind-hearted 'brother and sister' to have sex.
On the other side, Sasuke was also suffering from all kinds of bad looks at the moment.
"Sasuke -kun …" Ino looked at Sasuke with complicated eyes, full of resentment and anger.
"Sasuke, you are too much, you are more hateful than those who blocked the road!" Akimichi Choji said angrily, but he couldn't ignore his hunger, so he quickly took out barbecue-flavored potato chips to fill his stomach.
"We were in the same batch for six years, Uchiha Sasuke, what the hell are you thinking!" Inuzuka rushed over, and the dog lying on top of his head barked fiercely.
"Uchiha Sasuke, you've gone too far!" Xiao Li panted heavily.
The rest of the Wood Leaf team also viciously dissed Sasuke, but they weren't that bad. The Genin from other ninja villages stared at Sasuke with a ferocious expression, saying, "You better be careful in the upcoming exam, we'll kill you, you're finished, you're finished, you have no future."
Sasuke stood there with a hint of pride in his calm expression. It was as if he didn't put these guys in his eyes, but his heart was not calm at all.
Naruto, you idiot!
If he had listened to me just now, how would these fellows have the chance to bicker here?
How could it be fixed!!
"Fortunately, Naruto didn't listen to Sasuke." Hinata trotted to Naruto's side and thanked him softly.
The rest of the team finally shifted their gaze from Sasuke to Naruto and praised him in unison.
"Naruto, you're the best!" Inuzuka Kiba gave a thumbs up.
"Woof ~" Akamaru agreed.
"Naruto, you're much more open than someone else."
"Naruto, thank you!"
"Naruto, you're indeed worthy of your reputation!"
Facing everyone's gratitude, and then looking at Sasuke's embarrassed appearance, Naruto was very happy. He wanted to put his hands in his pockets, pretend to be emotional, and then say, "This is what I should do."
But unfortunately, the smile on Naruto's face couldn't be hidden. Finally …
"Hahahahaha … It's nothing, this is what I should do, ahahahaha …" Naruto put his hands on his waist and laughed proudly.
Naruto, this bastard, he's definitely doing this on purpose … Sasuke's face twitched, he almost lost control of his facial expression.
Karin looked at Naruto, then looked at Sasuke, left and right were both men.
"So many people actually passed?"
At this time, the examiner of the second exam, Red Bean, suddenly appeared in the field, attracting everyone's attention.
"Take out your Scrolls of Heaven and Earth."
Red Bean looked at everyone with a smile, "If you want to get away with it, I won't allow it ~"
The team members immediately took out their scrolls to prove themselves.
Red Bean looked at the circle and confirmed that every team here had a Scroll of Heaven and Earth, then he reluctantly announced that everyone passed the exam.
At this time, on the top floor of the Central Tower.
Po Shui Mun saw that the exam in the Forest of Death was over and planned to say a few words, but he was stopped by Sarutobi.
"Sandaime, I have a suggestion about the next process of the competition." Sarutobi said with a kind face.
"What's the suggestion?" Po Shui Mun asked curiously.
"Before the final selection, I suggest that we have an internal elimination tournament."
Sarutobi said, "Let's do it here! One on one, the winner will advance to the final selection, and the loser will be eliminated! "
Po Shui Mun frowned slightly, "Why do we need to add such a tournament?"
"Sandaime, in the following teams, many people relied on their companions, some even relied on pure luck to get here, their own ability is secondary."
Sarutobi solemnly said, "However, the final selection is a test of their comprehensive combat ability, if we let those people stand in the final selection, I'm worried that it will affect the results of the final selection!"
In the original story, the significance of the joint selection is more inclined to the hidden competition between the major villages, it's a microcosm of the war between the countries, it's a chessboard to divide the benefits!
But in this life, Po Shui Mun didn't die, the Uchiha clan didn't die, Moonlight Cold Wind, Waterstop, Itachi Uchiha, Kakashi, Guy, and other young masters are active in the world, so there's no competition, it's just a competition between the major villages, they want to stand out in the final selection, so that they can attract the attention of the audience (Daimyō, Ministers, Big Businessmen, Celebrities from all over the world) and let them contribute generously to the GDP.
Therefore, if the final selection is interspersed with a series of 'bad' matches, wouldn't it be like interspersing a 40-minute TV series with a 20-minute TV commercial?
I'm afraid that there will be a lot of dissatisfaction among the audience … right?
Therefore, Sarutobi wants to have a 1VS1 elimination tournament to eliminate those who want to fish in troubled waters in advance, so that they won't make a fool of themselves on the 'TV' and affect the reputation of the 'TV'!
Po Shui Mun understood what Sarutobi meant.
But …
Po Shui Mun thought for a while and shook his head: "Sandaime, I understand what you mean, adding an elimination tournament can certainly improve the 'viewing' of the final selection, but how can Sandaime guarantee that this elimination tournament will only eliminate those with insufficient comprehensive ability?"
For example, if Sasuke and Naruto fight, or Gaara and Suigetsu fight, then some of them will be defeated, but no matter who is eliminated, they will have enough strength to shine in the final selection!
Eliminating one of them will be contrary to the original intention, right?
"This …" Sarutobi frowned, and immediately shook his head, regardless of whether Po Shui Mun agrees or not, if this matter spreads out, Wood Leaf won't be able to hold the Chunin Joint Selection in the future.
"There's one more thing. What if two evenly matched candidates fight to the end of the elimination round, and both of them are seriously injured, and can't participate in the final selection?" Namikaze Minato asked again with Soul Torture.
"This …" Sarutobi was speechless.
"And …"
Po Shui Mun looked at Sarutobi who didn't speak and smiled: "Luck is also a part of strength."
"Oh, Sandaime, you are right." Sarutobi could only raise the white flag and surrender.
After convincing Sarutobi, Po Shui Mun went to the bottom of the tower, and under the hot eyes of the crowd, he announced the time and place of the final selection tournament, and gently encouraged them, and then announced the dismissal.
…
In the backyard of the Moonlight Mansion.
Strange, why isn't there an elimination round … Looking at the crystal ball, Naruto walked out of the Central Tower happily with his hands behind his head, Cold Wind felt like he hadn't had enough.
But it doesn't matter, without the elimination tournament, Lee, Hinata, and the others can 'live' to the final selection, and he doesn't know what kind of sparks will erupt at that time.
