After another five laps, they had now run twenty-five laps in total.
The first student to give up was Shikaku Nara.
Shikaku Nara's stamina was extremely poor, and he had completely exhausted himself. He lay sprawled on the ground like a salted fish, unable to get back up.
With Shikaku Nara taking the lead, many students began giving up as well.
After another five laps, they reached thirty laps, and more than half the students had given up.
Although Yakushi Nonō wanted to keep running with Uchiha Kurohane until the end, both her stamina and chakra had run dry. Her face turned pale, and her vision began to blur.
Unable to hold on any longer, she could only collapse to the ground and give up.
When the Chunin instructor and Might Duy saw students fall, they immediately carried them to the shade beneath the trees, gave them water, and let them rest.
As a Medical Ninja, Tsunade also came over to examine them.
After another fifteen laps, they reached forty-five laps.
By then, most of the students had given up, leaving fewer than ten people.
They were the Hyuga brothers, Namikaze Minato, Rino Yamanaka, Choza Akimichi, Yoshino Nara, Uchiha Kurohane, and Kushina Uzumaki.
Everyone was astonished to see who remained.
Although Choza Akimichi looked bulky, he had always possessed excellent physical constitution. Everyone also knew that the Akimichi Clan could convert body fat into stamina and chakra, so no one was surprised that he had endured this long.
What surprised everyone was that Uchiha Kurohane was still running.
Despite bearing the Uchiha Clan name, Uchiha Kurohane was a notorious dead last at the Ninja Academy.
No matter what trials or exams he took before, he always ranked at the bottom. Everyone considered him trash.
But why was he still running
