Naruto Neji: I can see chakra!

In the huge space of the lobby on the first floor, there is a giant sculpture in front, with hand seals.

The entire architectural style is full of ninja elements.

Many of the jonin of Konoha Village and the Sandaime Hokage stood on the platform, with the jonin of the allied countries scattered around.

Everyone was staring at the 3 people who had passed the Death Forest so far and met the requirements to enter the third exam.

Surprisingly, five of them are ninjas from Konoha Village.

The Sandaime Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen focused his gaze on Hyuga Neji for a while, "This child is full of energy and vitality. The surging pupil power contained in his Byakugan makes him look like a member of the Hyuga branch family, not just a member of the main Hyuga family. He is a jonin at the level. This talent is too exaggerated! I hope he has a bright and upright character. This will be a good thing for Konoha Village and the entire ninja world."

Moreover, among the five teams, except for Kabuto Yakushi's team, which is composed of senior Genin, the other four teams are composed of Genin graduates from Konoha Village who have just graduated or have graduated for just one year.

The other team of three was Gaara's team from the Sand Village.

Looking at the powerful new generation of ninjas from Konoha Village below, Maki, the right-hand man of the Fourth Kazekage, the Jonin of Sand Village, couldn't help but feel relieved for his own thoughts.

Fortunately, they were able to cooperate with Orochimaru, otherwise, with the small size of the Sand Village, they would not be able to withstand a slap from the Konoha Village.

Damn Konoha Village! Not only is it geographically unique, it has the most abundant resources and commissions in the entire ninja world, but the new generation is also so outstanding! There are so many of them, the most in any ninja village, and each one of them is top-notch.

The Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen earnestly advised these newly minted Genin who were still hostile to each other, and told them the significance of holding the Chunin Exam between Konoha Village and the allied countries, telling them that this was a competition of friendship and national strength.

It was emphasized that the third exam was a battle of life and death, and that everyone would need to fight with all their might. Because this exam was a real clash of strength, many daimyos and wealthy nobles from various countries would come to watch.

Based on the individual combat performance of everyone present, it will be determined in turn which ninja village has the greatest potential and the strongest power. Thus, in the following year, the tasks will be involuntarily entrusted to the powerful ninja village.

This is how the strong always become stronger.

Then Gekko Hayate appeared on the scene and asked the Hokage: Gekko Hayate himself, who would be the chief examiner of the third exam, would host the contestants.

The sickly and coughing Moonlight Gale turned around, with dark circles under his eyes and a haggard face. He looked extremely weak and asked the 21 ninjas present: "Too many, too many. How can we let you take your time in the third exam? The preliminaries will start now. Half of the people will be eliminated in the preliminaries for the third exam!"

There was an instant commotion below.

Of course, it’s mainly the ninjas from Konoha Village. After all, this village accounts for 7 out of a total of 5 teams, which is simply outrageous.

"Ah? What does the preliminaries mean? We have passed the second exam, so can't we go directly to the third exam?" Haruno Sakura asked puzzledly.

Although Haruno Sakura is a bit talkative, she also expressed what everyone is thinking.

Moonlight Gale coughed a few times and said weakly, "So, didn't I say it just now? There are too many of you. The Hokage also mentioned that the third exam will be held in front of many daimyo nobles. Their time is so precious, how can they let more than 3 of you fight one-on-one? How long will the competition end? Are you going to eat, drink water, or go to the toilet?!"

What you said makes so much sense that I am speechless.

Although Nara Shikamaru felt it was troublesome, he also agreed that it could not be helped. After all, they had already made it very clear: "Then at least let everyone rest for a while, have a full meal and start tomorrow? I'm sure those daimyo and nobles won't be late for a day or two."

Akimichi Choji standing by also nodded in agreement. He had been traveling for so many days and was almost starving to death. He had even fought desperately with others, which resulted in a huge consumption of chakra in his body and even a lot of fat was decomposed. He now felt extremely weak.

"One more question. There are 21 people now. That's too many. It doesn't fit the 1-on-1 battle distribution at all. Does anyone feel like they don't want to continue participating in the third individual battle? If you want to give up, you can tell me in advance. Remember, this battle is a life-or-death battle. Cough, cough, cough, cough—" The moonlight breeze swept over the crowd lightly, and suddenly there was a violent cough, making people feel like they were going to cough out their stomachs, cough out their stomachs, cough out their lungs. Coughed it all out!

At this time, looking at Uchiha Sasuke with a painful face, Haruno Sakura wanted to raise her hand to help Uchiha Sasuke announce that he would give up taking the third exam.

Aren’t your actions now a bit redundant?

Does it matter to you whether you participate or not?

Who exactly is he?

This girl is really childish. Children are just like that.

"Well, I give up--"

Uzumaki Naruto, Uchiha Sasuke and the others looked at the fierce man who raised his hand to indicate that he gave up in shock.

This person was none other than Kabuto Yakushi, who had fought alongside them before the exam and provided basic information to enter the third exam.

"Ok, fine! Your name is Kabuto Yakushi, right? Sure, sure, you can go first. This way there will be exactly 20 people, which will be easier to distribute." Moonlight Gale stopped coughing instantly, took out the list and checked it carefully, then locked onto a guy named Kabuto Yakushi, and quickly waved his hand to cross out his name.

"Finally fooled someone away..."

Seeing Uzumaki Naruto's puzzled look, Yakushi Kabuto explained with a smile:

"I'm sorry everyone, actually I was injured before the first exam and became deaf in my left ear. Now I can't continue the exam. Compared to life safety, my own health is more important. I wish you all good luck. Bye."

After saying that, Yakushi Dou waved his hand and walked away regardless of the dissuasion of his companion Chi Tong Kai.

Although he was a spy and needed to record the intelligence in detail, a junior ninja village jonin present was actually Orochimaru himself in disguise, so he could get first-hand intelligence himself, and there was no need for the intelligence to be passed on through Kabuto Yakushi's spy.

pop-

Moonlight Gale put away the information, then clapped his hands, signaling everyone to focus their attention, and he was pointing at the wall behind him.

Click-click——

Under the action of the mechanism, a wall opened, revealing a huge electronic bulletin board.

"Okay, now look at the big screen behind me. This electronic bulletin board will randomly match two people for a battle. Let's start the pre-selection now!"

"What? What? What? What? Are we starting right away? We aren't given a break. Many of us have just passed the second exam. We're dirty, and our chakra has been depleted. We're not in the best condition!" Nara Shikamaru was shocked. Even though he usually went with the flow, he still felt that the exam conditions were too harsh.

Akimichi Chouji, who was standing by, rubbed his stomach with a worried look on his face and said sadly, "Why don't you provide me with lunch? I'm almost starving..."

Moonlight Gale simply ignored the words of these rookies and waved his hand. As Moonlight Gale's hand fell, the names on the electronic bulletin board quickly switched randomly and were distributed in a dazzling manner.

"stop!"

Uchiha Sasuke looked at the names jumping on the electronic bulletin board with a painful expression, and felt fortunate that the curse seal on his neck greatly affected his fighting ability.

Every extra second of suffering was physically and mentally exhausting for Uchiha Sasuke. He wanted to fight everyone right away, then go back and rest to verify his own strength.

And now, the first battle is fought by Uchiha Sasuke, it is so lucky!

Moonlight Gale raised one hand and shouted loudly: "The first test battle: Akagi Kai vs. Uchiha Sasuke. These two people come forward, and the remaining seven people please quickly go upstairs to the corridors on both sides to watch the battle, and do not affect the subsequent battle."

On the other side of the crowd, the jonin from Konoha Village and other allied countries also found their respective teams. In fact, most of them were jonin from Konoha Village, except for a jonin from Otogakure Village disguised as Orochimaru, and a jonin from Sand Village, Maki, who each found their own team and stood aside to watch the battle.
