Spoiler at the beginning, Brother Tuzi, can you really open your eyes to this?

Inside the tower, Mitarashi Anko and Morino Ibiki had been waiting for a long time.

"How many people do you think will pass the test this time?" Hongdou asked curiously.

Morino Ibiki thought about it and replied based on the ratio in previous years: "About one third."

“It’s still a bit much, but that’s okay.”

"We'll eliminate half of them later, and that will be just about right."

Just as the two were discussing how to arrange the follow-up procedures, there was a noisy sound outside the door.

Then, a large number of candidates began to file in, and soon they filled half of the venue.

"Why are there so many people?!"

Mitarashi Anko widened her eyes and scanned the hundreds of examinees crowded below.

"Didn't you tell them that people who lost the scroll don't have to come here?"

Anko turned to Morino Ibiki, thinking that those who had been eliminated had mistakenly come in.

"It's impossible for me to make such a low-level mistake. I have explained the rules very clearly." Morino Ibiki's expression was also very confused.

"This is weird." Hongdou muttered to herself, and then shouted to the people below:

"Hey! We said that only the team that got the two scrolls of heaven and earth can enter here. What's wrong with you?"

The candidates looked at each other and then raised their hands.

"Examiner, we all got the scrolls."

"what?"

Mitarashi Anko was stunned when she saw the dozens of extra scrolls of heaven and earth all over the field.

Only one scroll was given to each team, and she had only given out forty-three.

But now there are almost ninety scrolls here!

"How many scrolls did you send them..."

A faint voice came from behind me: Morino Ibiki.

"There are only forty-three! Not one more!"

Anko explained anxiously.

"Yeah……"

There was a hint of doubt in Morino Ibiki's eyes.

The corner of Hongdou's mouth twitched: "What kind of look is that?"

"Nothing, I just think some people are too stupid to open the scroll even though they know what's inside."

Morino Ibiki shrugged, "So I wouldn't be surprised if I heard that you gave out twice as many scrolls now."

"I'm not that stupid!" Hongdou waved her arms angrily.

Morino Ibiki spread his hands, smiled and said nothing.

Hongdou was so angry that she snorted, turned around and asked the examinees below loudly:

"Where did you get the scroll?"

"It was given by Boss Youyue." The candidates answered truthfully, although this matter was indeed very strange.

"Youyue? Which Youyue?" Hongdou became even angrier.

"stand out!"

Suddenly, the crowd below tacitly split into two lines, leaving a large space.

Shigong Youyue walked out of the crowd slowly, with an awkward smile on her face:

"I'm sorry, examiner. They are all my subordinates. I couldn't bear to see them all eliminated, so I provided some small help."

After he finished speaking, he scratched his head embarrassedly and made a gesture pointing his finger at the universe.

Seeing Shinomiya Yutsuki's appearance, Hongdou was stunned for a moment.

This little guy was the culprit that caused her to be troubled by the scroll problem!

This also caused her to be constantly ridiculed by Morino Ibiki.

Suddenly, Hongdou came up with an idea and decided to scare this troublemaker.

She pretended to be fierce: "Shigong Yuzuki! Do you know what the consequences of breaking the exam rules without permission are?!"

Youyue stroked her chin and thought seriously for a while:

"Will Minato invite me to dinner?"

"It's Hokage-sama, you can't just call him Minato!" Hongdou corrected him with a frown on her face.

"Still want to eat? I think you should just eat the purple eggs!"

Anko said with a sneer.

A mere Genin dares to address the Hokage by his name?

"Okay, stop wasting time. It's already happened. Let's move on to the next assessment."

Morino Ibiki interrupted her rant.

"Eh? Are we just going to let this candidate who violated the rules go just like that?"

Hongdou was a little surprised. This didn't make sense.

"This is the order from Lord Hokage." Morino Ibiki said calmly.

"Hokage-sama?!"

When this name was mentioned, Mitarashi Anko immediately showed an admiring look.

"Okay, then I'll listen to you, Hokage. Let's let this kid go this time."

clap clap clap!

She clapped her palms, signaling everyone to be quiet.

"Dear candidates!" Hongdou's voice resounded throughout the venue.

Everyone turned their eyes to her.

Seeing that everyone was paying attention, Hongdou began to announce:

"Since there are currently too many people, we have decided to add an additional qualifying match."

"Next, you will fight one-on-one and eliminate half of the team!"

Following Hongdou's announcement, there was another commotion among the candidates below.

"Preliminary round? Why didn't you tell me that before?"

"Uh...isn't this a temporary addition? It's obviously aimed at Boss Youyue, right?" A candidate muttered in a low voice.

The scene fell into chaos for a moment, but everyone realized that this exam would become more intense and cruel.

"Quiet!"

Anko shouted loudly.

"Now, teams that do not wish to participate can leave. But remember, this will be considered a voluntary abandonment of the competition."

As soon as she finished speaking, most of the candidates did not react, and it seemed that no one intended to leave.

After all, now that we've come here, we should give it a try no matter what happens next.

What if I'm just unlucky?

"You're not going to quit?"

In the crowd, Sasuke asked Kabuto Yakushi in a low voice.

Pharmacist Dou was stunned:

"Why should I quit? Oh, Sasuke-kun, do you think I'll be a threat to you?"

Yakushi Kabuto pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose with his middle and ring fingers, a smile appeared on his face:

"Don't worry, Sasuke-kun, I'm very weak. Even if we fight, I can't beat you."

Normally this should have been a humble remark, but Sasuke nodded seriously:

"really."

Ah……

Pharmacist Dou almost couldn't hold back his laughter, thinking, you actually believed it?

As expected, every member of the Uchiha family is very proud.

When you truly understand my true strength, see if you can still remain so calm.

Ignoring Sasuke, Kabuto Yakushi turned to a Hidden Cloud team that had infiltrated the crowd at some point.

Yeyue Liuliang, Xihuan Chong and Xihuan Jing, they look listless, which is a side effect of the curse.

When Orochimaru saw these three strong bodies, he did not kill them directly, but chose to keep them as subjects for his experiments.

"Boss, why are we so unlucky? There are experts everywhere." Xi Huanchong said depressedly.

"That's right, any guy we meet might actually have such powerful hidden strength." Xi Huanjing agreed.

"You guys made the choice yourselves, why are you asking me?" Yeyue Liuliang was also convinced by these two idiots.

To these three, the true identity of the man who defeated them was unclear.

All we know is that it was a mysterious man dressed as a ninja from the Hidden Grass Village who easily defeated them.

Their lives were not taken immediately, but they were locked in a tree hole, so they managed to escape.
