Saving Uchiha starts from being the patriarch Uchiha Zongxian

At around eleven o'clock, Yakumo and his party finally arrived at the central tower. Waiting for them was a Chuunin who was in charge of the examination. He did not do any fancy things, but directly tested the authenticity of the heaven and earth scrolls. Afterwards, it was announced that they had passed the second round of exams, and the girls were led to the practice field located on the negative floor of the tower.

This is a quite wide space, about four or five times the size of a standard practice field, and the height is equivalent to four floors above ground. There is a corridor on the wall beside the field, and the overall look is a bit like an indoor gymnasium. However, compared to the gymnasium that someone recognized, this training ground has a strong ninja style.

The huge statue of the hand seal placed at the north end of the training ground, the shuriken symbols engraved on the surrounding walls, and a large number of Konoha ninjas standing in twos and threes on the high corridor, and absolutely Most are still jounin, and there are only a handful of chuunin examiners.

Yakumo and the others also saw many acquaintances standing in the corridor.

Among them was their leading Jonin Uchiha Chihaya.

"Yakumo, Touka, Hotaru, you are finally here!" Naruto, standing in the center of the training ground, waved and shouted, attracting the attention of the girls from the condescending jounin. He looked at the genin gathered in the center of the training ground.

There were a lot of people gathered on the training ground at this moment. Looking at it, I estimated that there were more than 30 or nearly [-] people. Counting the three of them, the number definitely exceeded [-].

This number,

Not much really.

You must know that there are 32 teams participating in the second round of exams, that is, 96 people. However, the total number of genin gathered here at this moment is only in their early thirties, with only one-third of the manpower remaining, and the remaining three Although not all of the second genin died, there were indeed not many who survived.

"Not so lucky, I met a tough opponent."

Yakumo walked towards where Naruto and others were. Almost all the genin of Konoha gathered in one place, not only Naruto and his team, but also Nara Shikaku's team, Inuzuka Kiba's team, Hyuga Neji's team, etc. Here, including Yakumo and the others, there are 15 people in total.

This is already half,

The remaining half of the people are also cloud ninjas, fog ninjas, and rock ninjas. There is no team from the small ninja village. This result is not that surprising, it is expected. It's just a matter of fact. You can't survive such rounds of exams by luck.

Even on Konoha's side, except for Naruto's team and Hyuga Neji's team, Nara Shikaku's team and Inuzuka Kiba's team didn't arrive much earlier than Yakumo and the others. Compared to Yakumo and the others, they are only half as good. Not to mention Everyone is injured, but if you look carefully, you can't find anyone in the two teams who is not injured.

Obviously they had to go through a lot of dangers before they could reach the tower.

That is to say, Naruto's team is strong and lucky. They arrived at the tower three days ago and spent three days recharging their energy in the tower. Everyone is full of energy and radiant.

"Did you meet that team with the Suna Ninja carrying a gourd?" Naruto immediately lowered his voice and asked when Yakumo came over.

"Naruto, have you noticed that team?"

"Well, I met him before the Chuunin exam. The Suna ninja carrying the gourd on his back was very powerful."

"really."

Yakumo nodded, "That is indeed a difficult opponent."

"Did you win?"

"No."

"······That?"

"In the back, I'll be here soon."

Regardless of whether Gaara borrowed the power of the One-Tailed Beast to maintain a stalemate with Yakumo for several days, the Tailed Beast is his capital, and that thing is the same thing as the Blood Succession Limit and the Family Secret Technique. If the tailed beast would be pulled away, wouldn't the Uchiha family's Sharingan also be poached?

Although Gaara gave in,

But Yakumo doesn't feel that she has really won. In her opinion, it is just a draw. Even the next time they meet, she is not [-]% sure that she can win, because this round of confrontation has already been glimpsed by Gaara. He knew the details of her methods, knew how to guard against her illusions, and actually had the means to guard against her five sense control illusions.

That sturdy sand ball is not easy to break.

Let’s face each other next time,

I'm afraid I need to use the method of turning it into reality to attack.

"Naruto, you guys came early, have you heard about the next test method?" Yakumo asked.

"I don't know."

Naruto shook his head, "Those of us who came early were notified to gather here at this time. In the past few days, we have been resting behind closed doors in the tower. Our meals are delivered to the door by the examiner. We have no contact with the examiner at all. Anyone else."

"That's it!"

Yakumo narrowed his eyes.

Looking around again, looking at this training ground that I saw for the first time, looking at the Jonin standing in the high corridor, I had a vague guess in my heart, looking at this... what might be waiting for them It's another round of exams, and I'm afraid they won't be given time to rest.

after all,

They couldn't come earlier.

According to Naruto's words, she realized that collecting the scrolls of heaven and earth was only the passing line for the second round of exams. 'Sooner or later' was another important factor in the second round of exams. Coming to the tower earlier and coming to the tower later were not the same. There is no difference. If you come early, you can recharge your batteries in the tower. If you come late, you will face the dilemma of fighting fatigue.

"Tenghua, Hotaru, hold on, it's not the time to rest yet."

Yakumo turned to his two sleepy companions and said.

"Isn't it? You have passed two rounds of exams without stopping, do you want to continue?" Tenghua couldn't help but complain, and began to complain, "My brother is a torture maniac", "My head is probably broken", and "I have a small belly." Just blatantly slandering the Sixth Hokage.

Yakumo was speechless for a moment.

Firefly also closed her mouth and pretended to be a wooden person.

Others such as Naruto, Sasuke and others also chose to remain silent.

At this time, Gaara and his team walked into the training ground at the last moment, and then the numbers on an electronic display hanging high up changed. It was twelve o'clock, the second round of the Chunin Selection Examination. It ended, and the door on the stairs behind Gaara and the others closed with a snap.

at the same time,

On a small platform in front of the hand seal sculpture, more than ten more figures appeared in the blink of an eye.

The most eye-catching among these ten people is the Sixth Hokage and Uchiha Sozuru standing in the center. Today's Sixth Generation is fully armed, wearing a Hokage hat and a white Hokage robe with red lining. The ninja uniform looks like the photos of past Hokages hanging on the wall of the Hokage's office.

On the left and right sides of Zong Xian, there were more than ten jounin. Two of them attracted the attention of Yakumo, Naruto, Gaara, Hyuga Neji and others, and they couldn't help but cast their eyes on those two. The jounin standing next to Zongxian, one with black hair and the other with white hair, looked ordinary, but... the feeling of chakra was anything but ordinary.

"That's great! Are you targeting us so quickly?"

The black-haired Jonin couldn't help but have a happy smile on his face.

"Brother, shut up, it's not our turn to talk now."

Another white-haired Jonin scolded.

just,

After Sogen and the others arrived at the training ground, the whispers floating around the training ground disappeared instantly. It was so quiet that you could hear the sound of a pin dropping on the ground. How could you not hear the friendly exchanges between the two jounin? ?Most of the genin didn't react at all, just staring at Hokage-sama.

The jonins also chose to turn a deaf ear, and just came down from the corridors on both sides and lined up beside them to support the Hokage.

I have to say that this scene is quite powerful.

So many jounin stood neatly and uniformly, immediately forming an invisible momentum. After the genin who were originally standing scattered on the training ground hesitated for two seconds, smart people such as Hinata Neji and others took the lead in lining up. , standing in a straight line as a team, that is, within five or six seconds, the genin formed a formation of three rows and eleven columns.

"The response is pretty quick."

Zong Xian spoke the first words. He looked at these genin from the five major ninja villages.

"Being able to reach this point shows that you are all the best among the genin. If you were to take the ordinary chunin exam, most of you would be almost a sure-fire chunin. But...it's a pity that this is all. The Chunin Examination held jointly by all ninja villages in the ninja world."

Zongxuan didn't do any fancy things or make any big excuses to scare people. Instead, he bluntly revealed a cruel fact to these genin, "Although I, the Hokage, can only govern Konoha ninjas, I can Let me tell you clearly that unless you perform well in the finals, no matter which village you are from, you will not be able to become a chuunin in this chunin exam."

There was a small commotion among the genin.

However, as the Jonin lined up on both sides looked over, the commotion immediately subsided. No one dared to interrupt. Even the Sixth Generation Hokage's disciples and younger sister remained dumbstruck.

Zong Xian ignored the changes in the genin and just continued: "Eleven teams, 33 genin, this number is too many, it is too much. I originally thought that the second round of exams would eliminate them until only four are left. Five teams, which is about ten people, will be ready to participate in the finals."

"Unfortunately, something went wrong. The two teams scheduled to participate in the finals met in advance, so that... so many people were lucky enough to reach the tower, and it is impossible for so many of you to participate in the finals. , there will be many VIPs arriving during the finals, and the time is limited, so we can’t delay it too much, so now the third round of qualifiers will be held here, cutting the number of people in half.”

It was still silent.

The genin listened quietly.

however,

"Haifeng, I'll leave the rest to you!" Zong Xian did not continue. 33 novel network

"Yes, Hokage-sama."

A jounin standing on the left side of Zongxuan emerged from the crowd. He had brown hair, a pale face, and dark circles under his eyes. He looked like he often stayed up late. He was wearing the standard uniform of Konoha jounin. He was kneeling on one knee in front of Zongxian. In front of Xian, a loud promise came down.

Zong Xian lowered his head, said nothing, and did not take another look at the genin. He made a seal in his hand, and directly used a teleportation technique to appear in the corridor on the sculpture of the hand of the seal. Holding on to the railing, he looked down at the genin in the venue.

The Jonin who were lined up in a straight line also dispersed and returned to the corridors on both sides.

on the driving range,

Only Gekko Hayate and 33 genin remained.

"Hello, I am Moonlight Hayate, and I will host this preliminary round." Moonlight Hayate looked at the genin calmly, "You must have understood what Hokage-sama said, so I won't say more here. I won’t go into details, I’m just going to add some specific rules.”

"The first two rounds of exams are team competitions, and you must work as a team to pass the exam, but the preliminaries are different. This battle is based on individuals, which means that you will have to fight alone from now on. Everyone present Anyone can become your opponent.”

"You can also choose to give up. If you choose to give up at this time, you don't have to worry about affecting your teammates. Therefore, I will give you 3 minutes to think about it."

finished,

Moonlight Hayate stopped talking and waited patiently for the genin to make their choice.

"I quit."

The one who raised her hand was a female Iwa nin.

"You are from Iwagakure Village... Blue Cone, you can leave." Moonlight Hayate checked the Iwa-nin who raised his hand with the information on the roster in his hand, and immediately allowed the Iwa-nin to withdraw. Everyone nearby watched with cold eyes as the bruised Iwa Ninja limped out.

No one is surprised by her choice,

It would be better to say that her giving up was a matter of course. The Iwa Ninja team she belonged to arrived at the tower yesterday. It seemed that they arrived earlier than Yakumo and the others, but who made her injuries so serious!Being here now is obviously because he is afraid of dragging down his teammates, so he has to stand here forcefully.

When Moonlight Hayate announced that this battle was on an individual basis, his withdrawal was expected.

"That injury... is a bit strange!" Yakumo looked at the Iwa Ninja walking away and said softly, "It's like being cut a hundred or ten times by a thin blade, Fujihana, Hotaru, etc. Be careful of that guy Shuiyue’s teammates.”

"understood."

Touka yawned.

Firefly nodded slightly.

The others were also whispering to each other, and they also noticed the strange injuries on the leaving female Iwa Ninja.

3 minutes passed by,

Except for the Iwa Ninja named Lanzui, no one chose to quit.

"Is no one withdrawing? Then, the qualifiers will start immediately." Moonlight Gale put away the roster in his hand and pointed to the high-hanging display screen, "The order of the competition will be displayed on it."
