Chapter 300 The Third Round of the Chunin Joint Exam (This Chapter Does Not Need to Be Ordered, It Is a Foreshadowing)

The Chunin Joint Exam is divided into three rounds.

The first round is to test the theoretical knowledge of the ninja, and the second round is to test the cooperation between the ninja teams.

The third round is a 1V1 battle between ninjas.

If you are lucky enough in the first two rounds, the possibility of passing is still relatively high.

The one-on-one duel in the third round is the most difficult test.

Because the focus of the test is not whether you have won or not, but to look at the face of the daimyo.

Yes, the decision of whether to pass the last round of the Chunin Joint Exam is in the hands of the Hokage and the daimyo.

They think you can become a Chunin, and you will be a Chunin after the game.

This also leads to some winners who have obviously tried their best and finally defeated the enemy, but in the end they cannot be promoted to Chunin.

At least, from the official side, your Chunin test is a failure.

The reason for failure is simply that the Hokage or the daimyo thinks you are not suitable for promotion to Chunin.

The reason can be too young, lack of mission experience, not strong enough, and even the nonsense reason of affecting the image of the ninja can be used to refuse the winner to pass the Chunin test.

The Chunin Joint Exam held twice a year is clearly an exam organized by the major ninja villages, but the number of participants and the pass rate are pitifully low.

Rather than screening unqualified Genin and promoting Chunin, it is more like a large-scale performance show.

A performance show with far more political significance than practical significance.

The real ninja exams of the five major ninja villages are mostly decided by the Kage and senior officials of each village.

The exams are based on merit, the number of completed tasks, personal strength and other aspects. Those who are capable and can go up will sooner or later become Chunin and Jonin.

This is the promotion path for most ninjas. The ninja army of tens of thousands of people in the Hidden Rock Village was created in this way.

Of course, these things that are not easy to say in public, Naruto and his group of little guys who just walked out of the ninja school naturally don’t know.

So one by one, they put all their strength into the third qualifying round of the Chunin Exam.

"Ya Tong Ya!"

"Seduction Technique!"

This is the battle between the golden-haired boy and the pirated hot-blooded protagonist Inuzuka Kiba. Naruto's self-created ninjutsu made the Daimyo and the Hokage wipe their noses with their hands.

This is really a powerful ninjutsu.

The Hokage and the Daimyo looked at each other awkwardly and nodded involuntarily.

"Brother Ningci, I will not admit defeat!"

"Humph, the ability of a person's life is destined, Hinata, you can't change the fate of being a weak person."

This is the confrontation between the stubborn Miss Hyuga and the most unlucky person in the ninja world.

With the loud encouragement of Uzumaki Naruto, Hinata was beaten by her cousin Hyuga Neji.

Such a scene easily reminds people of Sun Wukong under the Cell ring, proudly watching his son Son Gohan being picked up and beaten by Cell.

"Ino, admit defeat, Sasuke is mine!"

"You should admit defeat! Sakura!"

The two crazy female ninjas fought fiercely on the ring.

At this time, they were no longer concerned about the Chunin Exam, but about their own life events.

Facing the strange looks of the audience, Uchiha Sasuke remained calm, crossed his arms, and glanced at them coldly.

The audience immediately withdrew their gazes.

"Boring."

After spitting out these two words, Nisukeko quickly left the ring.

"Burn your youth, Xiao Li!"

Might Guy burst into tears, although his green tights and watermelon head made him look funny.

But he had received Xiao Li's will to burn his youth!

Bloom your youth, Xiao Li!

"Inner Lotus!"

Xiao Li, a hard-working genius, burst out with unprecedented amazing strength.

The only pity is that after this youth battle, Xiao Li was banned for several years.

After the last qualifying match between Rokudo Toss and Choji, only nine of the twenty people were able to stand and continue to participate in the assessment, which was the third official match of the Chunin Joint Exam.

After a month-long selection, the strength of every ninja who can reach this point has undoubtedly surpassed the level of Genin.

Some of them can even go head-to-head with Jonin.

For example, a gourd guy with panda eyes.

Another example is Uchiha Sasuke with two magatama Sharingan.

Looking at the group of newly-minted genius ninjas below, the Fourth Kazekage covered his face with a bamboo hat.

"Konoha is really full of talents."

"No, there are also many geniuses in Sand Village."

The Third Hokage was cheerful, like an ordinary kind old man, looking at the boys and girls below with kind eyes.

Young people are full of vitality.

Once upon a time, he and Danzo were also such lively young people.

The Fourth Kazekage smiled meaningfully.

He looked like an old man at this time, but if anyone really regarded the Third Hokage as an old man, the wildly dancing monkey stick was enough to make anyone realize the reality of old age.

Although he is old, his personal strength has not declined too much. Even now, if he wants to defeat his teacher, he will have to spend a lot of effort.

Thinking of this, the Fourth Kazekage lowered his bamboo hat.

"I will have to take care of you in the future."

"Don't be so polite. Konoha has always been a partner of the Sand Village. Come and sit down and see how the young people perform."

"The future is their era. I believe you, Kazekage, also think so."

That's not necessarily true.

The 'Fourth Kazekage' thought to himself that the former Fourth Kazekage was much more ruthless than the teacher.

At least the teacher was still a normal person and didn't think of attacking his own son.

The 'Fourth Kazekage' smiled without saying anything, nodded, and sat down with the Third Hokage.

The daimyo of the Land of Fire also sat down early, but not with them.

Instead, he was behind the curtain, enjoying the performance of his ninjas.

It was extremely rare for a person of his worth to come to Konoha to watch the Chunin Joint Exam.

It was said that he was mainly here to see the great writer of the Land of Fire with his own eyes.

Watching the Chunin Joint Exam was a matter of convenience.

It was also a way to see if these ninjas had any little thoughts that shouldn't have appeared.

After all, the incident caused by Asuma that year made the daimyo of the Land of Fire still remember it vividly.

If the Third Hokage had not personally gone to the capital of the Land of Fire to plead guilty and prove that he had no second thoughts, Asuma would have been imprisoned.

Can the "Kage-protecting faction" be said directly and publicized among the Twelve Guardian Ninjas?

The Fire Country Daimyo did not take Asuma down for treason, which was already for the sake of the Third Hokage.

After all, this old man has been busy for decades and has earned him a lot of face.

For such occasional accidents, as long as the attitude of admitting mistakes afterwards is sincere enough, he can still regard it as a reckless act of a young man who has achieved success.

After all, he is just a child.

The people above have different thoughts, but the arena has already been a bit hot.

Although the preliminaries lasted for more than ten days, the actual fighting time was very short.

The battle between ninjas is a battle of intelligence.

When a ninja can find out the enemy's intelligence, the balance of victory has already slid to him.

Don’t think that in the animation and comics, a fight lasts for several episodes or several issues. In fact, the actual fighting time will not exceed ten minutes.

After all, these ninjas are just Genin.

Except for a few geniuses who have extraordinary chakra, other Genin are at most equivalent to a Chunin.

The chakra of a Chunin is not much different from that of a Genin.

After using a few family ninjutsu or secret techniques, the blue bar will be empty. If you use shuriken and explosive talismans, you will almost lose the ability to fight independently.

After all, no one is Xiao Li, who is willing to fight for four doors in a row for a Chunin joint exam.

If you fail once, you can try again next time. The Chunin exam is not going to be held.

If you really risk your life on this, you will suffer the most.

What the Third Hokage said just now is right. The future of Konoha is these young people.

Therefore, some smart players are very good at seizing opportunities.

"I give up!"

The lazy Nara Shikamaru stretched out his hand.

His opponent, Temari, looked at Nara Shikamaru with a blank look on her face, then turned to look at Nara Shikamaru angrily.

"Damn it, are you looking down on me?"

Before she finished speaking, Nara Shikamaru raised his hand, signaling her not to get excited.

"Although I have thought of 200 different strategies, unfortunately, my chakra has been exhausted due to excessive use of shadow techniques."

"So, I give up."

After Nara Shikamaru finished speaking, he put his hands in his pockets and waited for the referee to make a decision.

Shiranui Genma, holding a Senbon in his mouth, raised his hand and announced:

"The winner is Sand Village Temari."

Nara Shikamaru naturally left the ring, leaving Temari holding a huge fan, who didn't know what to do for a while.

She was a little angry.

After all, they had been fighting for so long, and they thought they would meet an evenly matched opponent, and the two would have a wonderful ninja duel.

As a result, halfway through the fight, the opponent surrendered and said he didn't want to fight anymore.

Although Temari won, she always felt suffocated in her heart.

"Please step down."

Shiranui Genma reminded.

Even if Temari was so angry that she gritted her teeth, it was useless. Nara Shikamaru's surrender was allowed within the rules.

Her bad stereotype of Konoha ninjas deepened further, and she even planned to knock Nara Shikamaru's black stick in the next plan.

Wait, I will definitely step on your smart head and rub it hard.

Temari's face was livid and she left the ring.

Shiranui Genma looked at the little girl's angry look and the strange looks from the audience, and felt helpless.

The people of the Nara family have always been so rational. They never do things that are not beneficial or harmful to others.

As the son of the patriarch of the Nara clan, Nara Shikamaru undoubtedly inherited the wisdom of his father.

Know how to show yourself, and know how to advance and retreat.

In this battle, he not only showed his agility as a ninja, but also grasped the scale of the battle.

In the eyes of senior officials, such a young man is their favorite ninja.

He has brains, but he can stay awake at critical moments. He didn't insist on fighting to the end for the so-called Chunin position.

This is also the real reason why Nara Shikamaru was defeated in the original timeline, but became the only one who was promoted to Chunin in this exam.

Nara Shikamaru, this young man, has a future.

Looking at Nara Shikamaru's calm figure, the Third Hokage nodded with satisfaction.

"Kazekage, you are also a good teacher, and you can cultivate such an excellent child."

At the same time, this old man did not forget to praise Temari.

Everyone knows that Temari is the daughter of the Fourth Kazekage.

The Fourth Kazekage smiled, but still said nothing.

This made the Third Hokage wonder, why, you are not happy to be praised for your daughter?

"The next game, Uchiha Sasuke vs. Gaara!"

Shiranui Genma breathed a sigh of relief.

The Uchiha game should have started a long time ago, but for some reason, Sasuke never came to the scene.

So, the next few games were urgently moved to start first.

After Temari and Nara Shikamaru finished fighting, Uchiha Sasuke was in place, and they quickly moved this game back.

To avoid any more problems.

There have been many problems in the Chunin Joint Exam.

First, Konoha S-level rebel Orochimaru was assassinated in the Forest of Death, and then the Genin who participated in the Chunin Exam encountered accidents repeatedly, and several of them died suddenly and became disabled.

What was even more outrageous was that the examiner for the third preliminaries of Konoha was gone.

Gekkou Gale, Uzuki Yugao's childhood sweetheart, was a sickly ghost who didn't have many years to live.

A few days ago, I heard that he was sent by the Hokage to do a reconnaissance mission, and it seemed that he wanted to find out the cause of Orochimaru's death.

As a result, I don't know what happened, and he died tragically under the wind ninjutsu.

Konoha seriously suspected that it was the Sand Village who did it, after all, the wind attribute is a relatively scarce ninjutsu.

The only one in Konoha who is proficient in wind ninjutsu is Sarutobi Asuma.

But Asuma just broke his hand some time ago, and because of some emotional disputes, he was temporarily imprisoned at home and couldn't get out at all.

Therefore, the wind ninja who can have the strength to kill Gekkou Gale is likely to be this group of people in the Sand Village.

Of course, the third generation Hokage claimed this to the outside world.

After the Chunin Joint Exam is over, he will conduct a detailed investigation into the cause of Gekkou Gale's death.

As for what he was thinking, it was unknown.

After all, there was actually another elite ninja in Konoha who was good at wind escape.

But if he really did it, the third Hokage would have to choose to find a way to keep things quiet.

Danzo has become more and more stupid over the years. He even forgot to deal with such a small matter. He still wants to plot for the position of Hokage. Even if Sarutobi Hiruzen died here today, he would never pass the position of Hokage to him.

Let's put aside the cause of Gekkou Gale's death for now. After the exam is over, it won't be too late to settle accounts with Danzo after sending away those bastards in Sand Village.

The third Hokage's eyes flickered as he stared at the ring.

The orphan of the Uchiha clan faced the son of the fourth Kazekage.

The two are indeed the leaders of the younger generation. They are equally strong. At the age of twelve or thirteen, they are no less than some of the senior ninjas in the village.

Oh.

If I had known earlier, I would have let Danzo keep a few more.

Now there is only this one seedling left. I don't know if he can reproduce the style of Itachi back then.

As the Third Hokage was thinking this, a few feathers suddenly fell in front of him.

Are there birds nesting on the platform?

The Third Hokage subconsciously had this thought.

Then he immediately realized that it was wrong. It was an illusion? !

A large-scale illusion!

The Third Hokage stood up suddenly!

"Kazekage, what do you want to do?!" (End of this chapter)
