A Spectacular Plot
"Be rational, Saki. Even if you kill them now, it won't do any good. Many people are already watching this place. Doing this will only make enemies of Amegakure and bring trouble to the village. There will be no benefit whatsoever." Although Yazo was also angry, he still knew that some things couldn't be done this way.
Although they were quite far apart, Shuichi could vaguely see the furious expressions on Sunagakure's faces, and he was also very curious about what had happened to these groups of people.
"You guys are here! Seeing how much fun you're having, can you tell me what's going on so I can join in the fun?" Shuichi had barely become acquainted with this Ino-Shika-Cho team before, and now that he saw them arrive, he asked them directly.
Nara Rokujin gave a wry smile, walked over to Shuichi a little out of breath, and then plopped down next to him.
After Nara Rokujin's detailed explanation, Shuichi finally understood how the whole show had been performed.
At sunrise, after failing to intercept the Uchiha team, the Sunagakure's allied forces planned to take drastic measures against the teams that appeared later. They intended to cripple the arriving teams to prevent them from destroying the Scroll, and then use death threats to force them to obtain the Scroll.
However, things didn't go as planned. After being reminded by Mokui, Nara Rokujin and the others cunningly lingered outside the final area, not rushing into the Tower, and kept circling around it.
Persistence pays off, and they finally encountered a total of six Genin from Amegakure.
The two groups from Amegakure knew they were among the weakest of all the examinees, so they had long planned to meet up.
Konoha's arrangement seemed quite accommodating; the two teams each possessed the Heaven Scroll and the Earth Scroll respectively, and their starting positions were relatively close, ensuring they would succeed as soon as the exam began.
The six of them carefully made their way towards the Central Tower. Even when they encountered stronger teams along the way, they didn't think much of it when they saw the six of them together.
They knew their own limitations, and even though they outnumbered the enemy, they didn't launch an attack, all so that Amegakure could make an appearance in the Third Exam.
By morning, Nara Rokujin's team successfully encountered the six members of Amegakure. They promptly explained why they had been loitering in the vicinity. Amegakure Ninja, upon hearing that Sunagakure was ambushing people from other villages, also felt troubled. The two sides then decided to join forces and attempt to storm the Central Tower.
They hid together near the river at the edge of the central area, less than 500 meters away. From here, they could see the river diagonally to the side, but wouldn't step into the search range of the reconnaissance ninjas.
At noon, the opportunity came. The last remaining group of people from Takigakure seemed to be having trouble collecting the Scroll and rashly decided to ambush in the central area. Little did they expect that this place would turn into a battlefield.
Upon seeing the Sunagakure members appear, the Konoha Amegakure Ninja Village team realized their opportunity had arrived, and all nine of them rushed out and headed straight for the Tower.
When the Sunagakure's scout ninjas discovered the Takigakure earlier, they notified their teammates to come to the vicinity. Ultimately, they overwhelmed the enemy with their strength and obtained a Scroll, barely managing to make a breakthrough.
Just then, a large, dark mass of people suddenly appeared from not far away, crossed the river, and headed straight for the Tower.
Yukari saw this, they were furious. They never expected these people to be so cunning. Even after collecting Scroll, they didn't rush into the center but waited for such a good opportunity.
Now that they had lost four Scroll because of Scroll, the group was furious and chased after them, trying to stop them before they entered the tower.
As they approached the Tower, a fierce battle broke out between the two sides.
These five Sunagakure Ninja were confident in their pursuit, and there was a reason for it. They were indeed among the most elite Genin in Sunagakure in recent years, with many possessing Chunin -level strength. During the battle, their intelligence was completely exposed.
Yukari uses Fan Tool and is highly skilled in Wind Release techniques.
Yazo is skilled in Earth Release Ninjutsu, and his Taijutsu is also quite good.
Saki's swordsmanship is simple yet sharp, and her movements are quite unpredictable.
The mysterious young man with a camouflage-covered face was indeed Puppeteer. His attack with hidden Hidden Weapons nearly caused massive damage, but fortunately, only one Amegakure Ninja was hit and fell.
Another ninja was also skilled in Wind Release and throwing ninja tools.
In the brief melee, although the Konoha and Amegakure Ninja sides had more people, their fighting power was nowhere near that of the Sunagakure.
However, they were already quite close to the Tower. When the Amegakure Ninja saw one of their teammates fall, the two from the same team could only hand the Scroll to another team, and then resolutely turned around to block the Sunagakure Ninja for a moment.
Their sacrifice was worthwhile. Just as Konoha's Ino-Shika-Cho rushed into the Tower, another team of Amegakure Ninja successfully arrived at the last moment. The final scene was Shuichi seeing them fly in, while the Sunagakure members could only watch helplessly from outside.
"It's as exciting as a short film!" Shuichi hearing it.
Unexpectedly, the first Joint Chunin Exam were just as exciting as the original story, with various parties pulling out all the stops to flex their muscles in front of the high-ranking officials of different countries.
After telling Shuichi what had happened, Nara Rokujin asked him curiously, "When did you arrive? You seem very relaxed."
"Oh, it's been about four hours since the exam started. I've already taken a long nap, and it's been pretty boring," Shuichi replied casually.
Nara Rokujin was amazed by their speed and could only sigh inwardly, "Having Byakugan is great; it makes finding people so easy."
Indeed, even if Shuichi and his group are exceptionally strong, it's useless if they can't find anyone.
Although the other Genin were far weaker than them, ninja battles don't last very long. In the second exam, teams with reconnaissance abilities would undoubtedly have a significant advantage.
The Konoha Ino-Shika-Cho team and the Amegakure Ninja team, who rushed into the Tower, were in high spirits, while the Sunagakure, still lingering outside, were quite upset.
"Damn it! Our battle intelligence has been leaked, and we've only managed to collect one Scroll so far, while these two teams managed to get in." Saki was first used as a weak point by the Uchiha team, and her role in intercepting other teams was also relatively small.
After all, he, wielding a sword, would have to get close to someone to kill them, while the ninjas from other villages are all very cunning, and even if they are not as strong as him, they would be difficult to catch up with if they ran away.
Although Yukari felt things weren't going well, things weren't getting any worse.
First of all, apart from Shuichi's team, the opponents who have entered the tower so far are not much of a threat in terms of combat strength. So even if they were to enter the Third Exam, they would only be stepping stones for the Sunagakure Squad.
At the same time, the worst-case scenario did not occur, but Sunagakure's approach was not without risk.
For example, Shuichi's appearance was a surprise to them. If this team joined forces with the Ino- Ino-Shika-Cho and the six Amegakure Ninja members to attack them, that would be the worst-case scenario, and the Sunagakure's most elite team could be eliminated.
Therefore, she said to the people beside her with a somewhat comforting tone, "Although we only got one Scroll, there's still plenty of time. We can at least collect a Scroll more." Although the easy prey had slipped away, a ninja cannot lose their mind for a small gain.
"The problem is, it's already noon on the second day, and the other teams from our village still haven't shown up. If they were to meet in pairs, given the combined fighting strength of six people, I don't think it's possible they haven't arrived by now."
