The Chunin Ninja Exams' true purpose

At that moment, everyone in the venue was shocked, and they couldn't help but think to themselves, "That's right, use Genjutsu to control the other party, then get the number plate, and it won't hurt or kill anyone. Even if Genjutsu doesn't work, Ninjutsu to control the enemy will do, as long as it's not lethal!"

At that moment, everyone sprang into action.

Suddenly, chaos erupted in the arena. From within the Kumogakure, a roar echoed, "Thunder God Armor!"

In an instant, the dark-skinned, shouting body was enveloped in lightning; this person was none other than the future Third Raikage A!

At that moment, Ai shouted, "Use non-lethal Lightning Style to paralyze them, then we'll grab the number plates!"

After saying that, he approached a group at an extremely fast speed, and then released a burst of lightning from his body, instantly turning the other party black. However, the other party did not die, while Ai had already obtained the number plate!

In Konoha, Sarutobi Hiruzen addressed the others, saying, "We're few in number from Konoha, but Lightning Style Koharu Genjutsu. This is only the first match; who knows what might happen next? So conserve your Chakra, use Taijutsu to knock the opponents unconscious, and then grab their number plates!"

At Sarutobi Hiruzen's command, the twelve members of Konoha immediately began their operation. Sarutobi Hiruzen rapidly formed hand Hand Seals and shouted, "Summoning Technique — Enma!"

In an instant, a giant ape appeared, and at that moment Sarutobi Hiruzen exclaimed, "The Golden Cudgel!"

After saying that, he immediately started swinging the huge stick!

From the perspective of Kirigakure, a person stood and said, "Water Style: Mist Ninja Technique. Standing within the thick fog, we'll steal their number tags!"

The Iwa ninja, however, shouted, "Use Earth Style Release to set a trap, capture them, and then steal their number tags!"

The leader of the Sunagakure, Sandstorm Heise, spoke directly, "These people are no longer able to move. Go and grab the number plates!"

After finishing speaking, Hei Se quickly Hand Seals and shouted, "Magnet Release - Iron Sand Technique!"

With Magnet Release, you can directly control your opponent; that's a very convenient technique!

At this moment, all the major ninja villages began to take action, each displaying extraordinary combat power!

Kangetsu's gaze was fixed on the match below. The entire continent's shadows were also watching the battle below!

Kangetsu thought to herself, "Compared to the original story, these people are far stronger than those who participated in the Chunin Ninja Exams."

Not long after, as Kangetsu's gaze fell upon the two enormous 'End' symbols appearing on the screen, she asked, "Is the first exam over?"

Kangetsu looked down, where the river was full of people, but only about 150 were standing.

At that moment, Nara Isshin stepped forward and said, "The first match is over. Teams that have received ten number plates, please come here."

With Nara Isshin speaking, the group was quickly located.

Soon, Nara Isshin announced, "In the first round, only twenty teams qualified; the rest have been eliminated!"

As Nara Isshin finished speaking, Kangetsu looked at the twenty groups and noticed that eight of them were from the Blood Ninja Village. After all, the Blood Ninja Village groups had all sorts of ninjas—support, healers, fighters, and those providing protection with Barrier Ninjutsu —making things easy for them!
