The Shimada Family's Ninja Journey

Chapter 447 The second round of assessment
Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and soon, it was time to start the qualifiers.

"Is this the preliminaries specially built by the village?" On the morning of the preliminaries, the three of Masaki came to the arena that Genji had notified before.

This arena is a temporary venue built by the Ministry of Education in the past few months, and it was funded by the Ministry of Education itself.

Although the logistics department promised to give the Ministry of Education additional funds, in the final analysis, the main selection venue is the real top priority, including the ecological transformation of the dead forest, which is also a waste of money.

Therefore, most of the budget approved by the logistics department was spent by Genji on these two aspects, and there was really not much money left for the qualifiers in the end.

And the logistics department refused to continue to increase the budget. In desperation, Genji could only temporarily suspend some plans, and then set aside enough budget to use for the construction of the preliminaries.

It was precisely because of insufficient budget that the arena had just been completed. In order to prevent anyone from tampering with it, Genji simply did not open the arena to the public.

Speaking of which, today is the first time it is open.

"I didn't expect that even the budget arena was built so finely. It seems that the village really attaches great importance to this Chunin exam." Uchiha Hiroshi looked around and sighed.

"Of course." A familiar voice reached the ears of the three.

The three Shinobi knew without looking back that this was their instructor Jun Uchiha.

"Teacher Chun, why are you here?" Ryoka Senju walked up to Jun Uchiha in three steps at a time, and Masaki and Hiroshi followed.

"Didn't I tell you?" Jun Uchiha laughed suddenly: "In this qualifier, the instructors of all participating teams, as well as the leading ninjas of each ninja village, can come to watch the battle."

When the three of them heard the words, they looked at each other in disbelief. Then they remembered that Jun Uchiha had told them before the Chunin exam that he would not come to watch the battle until they had passed the round of selection.

Looking at the expressions of his three subordinates, Uchiha Jun didn't know what was going on, and shook his head. He didn't care, but glanced at the rostrum, where there were two seats.

And Masaki and the others followed Uchiha Jun's gaze: "Teacher Chun, where are those two seats?"

"It is a seat prepared for Hokage-sama and Mizukage-dono." Uchiha Jun explained: "Although it is only a preliminary selection, the significance of the main election is to show celebrities from all over the world the strength of Ninja Village. The strength of the younger generation in the village, the preliminary election is no worse than the main election."

Masaki and the three of them also nodded in agreement when they heard this.

Because the lottery for the pre-selection is also random, if two strong ninjas happen to be drawn together, only one of them is destined to advance, but the one who is eliminated may be stronger than many of the advanced ninjas.

This element of luck is an inevitable disadvantage of the lottery system, but this is already the fairest way.

Hokage, Mizukage, and the others paid different attention to this Chunin exam than those celebrities and nobles, so they would naturally not miss this preselection.

As for the other Dainin villages, although there are also ninjas who lead the team, but Mizukage is the only one who is qualified to be in the same rank as Hanzo.

Although the other leading ninjas also represent their respective ninja villages, they are a head shorter in status, so they can only stand on a high platform to watch the battle like the guide johnin.

While the four members of Jun Uchiha's team were chatting in low voices, the teams participating in the preliminaries arrived at the preliminaries one after another.

The entire arena gradually became noisy.

But at this moment, two figures suddenly appeared on the rostrum directly in front of the arena.

Both of them wear a bamboo hat on top of their heads. The hat on the left is mainly red and white, with the character "fire" in the center; while the hat on the right is mainly blue and white, with the character "water" in the center. .

There is no doubt that the two are the first Hokage Shimada Hanzo, and the second generation Mizukage Shimada Motohisa.

The two are also the brightest pair of twin stars of the Shimada clan. The Shimada clan can be recognized as the number one family in the ninja world. In addition to the strength of the family itself, the "shadow" position of the two major ninja villages above the head is also very critical. factor.

With the appearance of the two kages, everyone's eyes were focused on the rostrum. Of course, it was mainly Hanzo, the Hokage.

After all, Mizukage is just a guest this time, and Hokage is the host.

"Everyone."

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Hanzo immediately said: "First of all, I would like to congratulate you all for passing the first round of selection for the Chunin Exam.

The death forest mission was carefully designed by Konoha, after considering all aspects, the final decision was made. It tested the comprehensive ability of a ninja team.

For those of you ninjas who have passed the mission of the Death Forest, I can say bluntly, as long as you are not fishing in troubled waters, then you already have the potential to be promoted to Chunin. "

Listening to Hanzo's praise, the faces of the ninjas on the platform couldn't help showing a hint of excitement.

No matter which ninja village they come from, the name of the first Hokage is well-known. To be recognized by this legendary figure naturally makes these ninjas very excited.

"However..." After approving for a while, Hanzo then changed the subject: "However, if the Genin is the foundation of a Ninja Village, then the Chunin is the backbone of a Ninja Village.

Although the death forest task is a test with great reference value, it is not enough.

We need to see more of your abilities, and use this to judge whether you are qualified to become the backbone of your respective ninja villages, and this is the purpose of the second round of selection.

So, everyone, perform well, no matter who your opponent is or how lucky you are, fight with all your strength, and the evaluation team will naturally determine whether you can be promoted based on the qualities you have displayed.

Next, I would like to ask Mizukage-sama to say a few words. "

After finishing speaking, Hanzo sat in his seat and handed over the stage to Motohisa.

Yuan Jiu also looked at the ninjas, and said: "..." After finishing speaking, Yuan Jiu also sat back in his seat.

After the two shadows finished their speeches, the qualifiers will officially begin.

At this time, a ninja suddenly appeared on an independent platform next to the rostrum: "I am Yasuji Hyuga, the referee for this qualifier."

The person who came was the actual controller of the Hyuga Clan, the former leader of the Hyuga Clan Yasuji Hyuga, with the ability to follow the boundary with his eyes and blood, he was indeed the most suitable referee and examiner for this kind of assessment.

"Next, I will draw lots from these two boxes." Yasuji Hyuga put the two boxes full of paper lottery on the table in front of him, and said, "I swear by Konoha's reputation that the lottery process is absolutely fair and random. Please supervise the representatives of each ninja village, and the person whose name I will read next needs to enter the venue within 1 minute, otherwise it will be automatically regarded as a waiver. Now, the qualifiers begin."

Said, Yasuji Hyuga put his hands into the two boxes at the same time...

　There seems to be a small bug in the first few chapters, I'm really sorry, I'm trying to change it...
