So... so amazing!
As they slowly came to a stop with the main group in the testing grounds—the First Training Ground, which was used for nearly every Chunin Exam—Uzumaki Naruto looked around. A shocked expression gradually appeared on his face, followed by an unprecedented surge of nervousness and excitement.
At this moment, the spectator stands surrounding them—or rather, surrounding the First Training Ground—were already packed to the brim. In some of the aisles, aside from the Anbu Ninja assigned by Konoha to maintain order, there were also spectators who had failed to secure seats.
Though it had not yet reached the point of being crushed together, people were filling the aisles as well. The stands for this final trial could already be described as overflowing.
Looking at the dense crowd, the gazes fixed on him, and imagining himself defeating his opponent under the watch of so many eyes, a mixture of nervousness and excitement immediately filled Naruto's mind.
Tch! Did Teacher Chiba anticipate this too? There are so many people here, and there should be important figures from other ninja villages as well—at the very least, people vital to Konoha's foreign relations. If Uchiha Nobuhiko attacked this place now, the losses would be enormous.
And there are no restrictions on seating. People can even stand in the aisles. If anything really happens, even the escape routes would be clogged.
At the same time, Shikamaru Nara, who was also surveying the surroundings, nearly twitched at the corner of his mouth. At a glance, even he could spot countless vulnerabilities. Leaving aside the security flaws, just the evacuation capacity in an emergency—having people standing like this was practically asking for everyone to be wiped out.
But Teacher Chiba was not someone who would make such a low-level mistake.
