"Little guy, everything is created from nothing. Don't be bound by existing techniques."

Hashirama lowered his hands, his Impure World Reincarnation body gradually turned into pieces, and his soul returned to the Pure Land.

Yan Qing bowed slightly in the direction of Hashirama's soul to show respect.

It’s not because of Hashirama’s powerful strength, but because of the other party’s kindness and vision.

…………

After watching Hashirama's soul return to the Pure Land, Yan Qing also teleported to the central tower.

The examiner of the second exam, Hongdou, found clues that suggested the appearance of Orochimaru in the village, so she rushed into the Forest of Death and had a close combat with Orochimaru who was fleeing to avoid the battle between the Shodaime and Uchiha Yan.

Hongdou reported all the information she knew to the Sandaime, but the Sandaime still decided to continue with the Chunin Exam.

In the end, Yan Qing and more than 20 ninjas who passed the second stage of the exam stood in the central tower together.

"There are actually nine teams that have passed the second stage exam. Not bad, you are all the best ninjas."

Sarutobi Hiruzen stood in front of a group of examinees and took a puff of an old man's cigarette.

"In fact, this exam is a microcosm of the disputes between the many allied countries. Daimyo from various countries will come to watch the battle. Those who win in the end and perform well will naturally receive more missions and resources from various countries. So... the next battle will be the time to show the true strength of each ninja village."

After hearing Sarutobi Hiruzen's words, the expressions of many ninjas became serious.

This is not only the Chunin Exam, but also a game at the national level.

"I believe that those who can stand here are the best who carry the hopes of their respective ninja villages."

"Then, let me explain the contents of the third stage of the exam..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was about to continue speaking when a figure suddenly appeared in the scene and interrupted him.

"Hokage-sama, let me, the referee of the third exam, explain the contents of the next match."

At this moment, a sickly Konoha ninja wearing a headscarf appeared on the scene.

"Hmm... Moonlight Gale? Well, I'll let you explain it next."

The person who came was none other than Konoha's top ninja in swordsmanship, Gekkou Gale, who was in a very weak body.

"Ahem, everyone, since there are too many people taking the exam this time, there will be a qualifying round before the official third stage exam."

Moonlight Gale said with a few weak dry coughs.

"Wh...what do you mean? Didn't we already pass the previous exams? Why are there still preliminaries?"

Someone among the Genin taking the exam raised a question.

"I've said before that there are too many participants this time, so we have to eliminate at least half of the participants through battles. So... before that, is there anyone who wants to withdraw from the competition early?"

Hearing about the early withdrawal, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. It has come to this, who the hell would withdraw from the competition?

"Sorry, I quit."

At this moment, Kabuto Yakushi raised his hand.

He glanced at Yan Qing who was standing not far away with an indifferent expression on his face, hesitated for a while, and finally raised his hand.

This great god is here, but he is still beating his neck. It would be better to take some time to do some investigation.

The final number of participants in the qualifiers was 26, which is 13 vs. 13.

Since there was a group that advanced to the next round after a tie, a total of 14 people finally entered the third stage of formal competition.

They are Uzumaki Naruto, Uchiha Sasuke, Nara Shikamaru, Aburame Shino, Gaara, Kankuro, Temari, Hyuga Neji, Uchiha Takeshi, Akimichi Lei, Yamanaka Seijuu, Nara Takera, Morino Zen, and Amami Asa.

In order to give the contestants time to prepare and also to wait for the arrival of the daimyo from various countries, the third stage was scheduled for a month later.

At this point, the main mission of the second stage of the Naruto world is completed.

The four reincarnations of the Yanhuang Country who were forgotten in the Forest of Death failed in their mission and were forcibly sent back to the Reincarnation Tower.

Only six members of the Masked Team remained in the dungeon because of a hidden mission.

A month passed quickly.

During this month, Sasuke continued to practice Lightning Release Ninjutsu and various physical techniques with Kakashi.

Naruto met another of the legendary Three Ninjas, Jiraiya, known as the Toad Sage, and under Jiraiya's special training, he mastered how to call upon the Nine-Tails' Chakra.

Yan Qing disguised his identity and invaded the Hidden Cloud Village and the Hidden Iwa Village successively, successfully stealing and learning a large number of Lightning Release Ninjutsu and Earth Release Ninjutsu.

This also includes the Raikage's Lightning Release Chakra Mode and the Tsuchikage's bloodline elimination, Dust Release.

As daimyos from various countries arrived one after another, the third stage of the competition officially began.

Because Gekkou Hayate had been ambushed by the Sand Village ninja before and had already received his lunch box in advance, the referee was replaced by Konoha's special jounin, Shiranui Genma.

Under the chairmanship of Genjian Shiranui, the competition went smoothly.

first round.

Naruto fought against Hyuga Neji. Naruto, who had already learned the Rasengan and could call upon the Nine-Tails' Chakra, won easily. The genius Neji was even beaten to the point of becoming a little autistic.

Second round.

Kankuro faced Aburame Shino. In order to preserve his strength for the upcoming surprise attack on Konoha, Kankuro decisively chose to give up, and Aburame Shino won.

The third round.

Nara Shikamaru versus Temari. Shikamaru chose to surrender even though he had the advantage, and Temari won.

The fourth game.

Sasuke vs. Gaara, Sasuke was originally going to be disqualified because he was late.

However, Orochimaru, disguised as the Kazekage, took the initiative to propose delaying the game in order to ensure the smooth implementation of the Konoha collapse plan and to observe Sasuke's strength. As a result, the game was postponed and the fifth match was brought forward.

The two opponents in this battle are Uchiha Yan versus...Akimichi Lei.

This is also a battle that many daimyo are paying attention to.

After all, I have often heard about how powerful the 'Scarlet Thunder Flame' is, but it has always been just hearsay. Now that I have the opportunity to see it with my own eyes, I am naturally looking forward to it.

Before the game, Sarutobi Hiruzen told Yan Qing not to rush to decide the outcome with one move, but to show his strength more often, so that the daimyo could see the powerful strength of Konoha ninja.

"Yanba, let's just show our courtesy. We are all family, there is no need to..."

"I suggest you activate the strongest defense mode right from the start, otherwise you will suffer."

"Hmm? What do you mean..."

Before Guo Lei could finish his words, Yan Qing raised his hand and threw a thunderbolt at him.

“Oh shit! Oh shit! Oh shit!”

Guo Lei's scalp was numb from the electric shock.

"You...are you serious?"

"Well, let me see how strong your defense is now."

Seeing that Yan Qing was not joking, Guo Lei immediately activated his golden body.

Then a huge white fireball hit him.

Immortal technique, fire escape, and fireball!

An extremely large white fireball with a diameter of tens of meters almost covered the entire Chunin Exam venue.

Faced with such horrifically high temperatures, referee Genma Shiranui had to retreat to the sidelines.

He looked with lingering fear at the Akimichi clan Genin who was engulfed by the white fireball in the field.

Fortunately, I ran fast.

With such a strong attack, the Genin should be exhausted. There's probably no need to call for a medical team.

The people in the audience felt the sudden rise in temperature in the arena, and while they were shocked, they also had the same thoughts as Genma Shiranui.

Even Sarutobi Hiruzen's face was filled with shock.

Immortal arts? Has this kid become so powerful without knowing it?

With the Sharingan combined with fairy techniques, I'm afraid even I can't be his match.

Orochimaru, who was disguised as the Kazekage, was also secretly amazed.

"Hokage, your Konoha is really full of talents. With such outstanding young talents, I believe it won't be long before you will abdicate the position of Hokage."

Orochimaru was just teasing his teacher a few times, but Sarutobi Hiruzen, who didn't know the true identity of the Kazekage, interpreted it as an attempt to sow discord.

"If young people are capable and responsible, it is reasonable for them to step down and let others take over. It is better than having no successors in the village."

Sarutobi Hiruzen retorted sarcastically.

"Ah!"

Orochimaru laughed sarcastically and didn't answer.
