Chapter Summaries

Key events

• The spectators misread the arrangement. The village shinobi are confused, while the village leaders conclude that Konan and Kaguya are staging a fair-looking contest to spare Sunagakure the grievance of seeing its finalist eliminated immediately. Hiruzen is especially pleased by this interpretation, though it is wrong.
