The next day, the third round of the Chunin Exams officially began.
Before Hyuga Sho could leave the Underground Base, Uchiha Saotome called out to him.
The old man looked disheveled, with his hair hanging loose and a white lab coat on.
A textbook obsessive scientist.
"There's something I forgot to remind you about..."
Uchiha Saotome said.

For now...
It was the preparation period.
He glanced around.
The audience stands were packed with spectators.
From the Daimyo of the Land of Fire to the Daimyo of the Land of Wind...
And then... the Daimyo of the
