Due to the transaction of Human Scroll and Heaven Scroll, in front of the members of Shikamaru's team, Kabuto's team also gathered Scroll.
Therefore, Shikamaru invited them to pass the level together as Konoha Ninja.
After Shikamaru and the others went to clear the level, if their team failed to clear the level, it would attract too much attention, and they would have no choice but to enter the tower together.
Due to a strange combination of circumstances, Kabuto was in the first place Second Exam Arena and almost passed the level without doing anything.
And because he passed the test so early on the first day, his original idea of withdrawing from subsequent tests due to physical discomfort was shattered.
There are still nearly five days left.
Not to mention just being hit by the Akimichi Clan's little fat guy and breaking your bones, even if you only have half a life left, Konoha Medical Unit with Tsunade's guidance can save you!
Yes, Tsunade is here too.
Standing in front of all the candidates at this time, in the center is Jiraiya, one of the examiners Exam and Konoha Sannin.
Next to him are the current Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, and Princess Tsunade, who is also one of Konoha Sannin.
Then came the examiners Ibiki Morino, Mitaraishi Anko and Gekko Hayate who were in charge of the three Exam sessions. Next to them were several examiners who were also elites at the Chunin level... for example, a young yellow-haired boy who looked like he had sneaked in.
Finally, it is Jonin who leads each team.
This kind of stance is thought-provoking.
However, some candidates in the audience did not understand that Jonin Baki, the leader of Sunagakure, and Jonin, the leader of Kirigakure, were all sweating.
[Before Lord Kazekage said that Orochimaru, one of Konoha Sannin, was united, and now the other two Sannin have also returned to Konoha... There will be no problems with this plan, right?]
The identity of the examiner was unknown before Exam started. It wasn't until they came to Konoha that they learned that the legendary Sannin and the other two were all in Konoha.
And after these two games of Exam, the potential shown by Konoha is beyond their imagination - as far as Konoha, the night patrolman in Mali, carries Hyuga per person, Baki can't even do anything at night.
[Why is their security work so strict? It's like there was some big trouble before... But it seems that their village is still so prosperous...]
"Before Exam, Lord Hokage, would you like to say a few words first?"
Jiraiya, who was standing at the front of the crowd, looked relaxed. He suddenly turned to Third next to him and asked with a smile.
"Don't be so playful, you can do whatever you want."
Third shook his head.
"That's no trouble." Jiraiya nodded, and then waved to the candidates, "First of all, congratulations on passing the level, and then there will be an individual battle between pairs of two. The third Exam Preliminaries, and finally ten people will be left to participate Third Match Exam...
Well, I have nothing else to add, that's it."
"Eh?"
Everyone was stunned. They asked everyone to stand in line for this battle. They thought there was going to be a long speech, but this is what happened?
So casual!
Tsunade on the side also rolled his eyes. He just wanted to remind the teacher that it was better to say something, because this guy Jiraiya has this kind of temper.
"Ahem, um, I'd better add some rules."
Seeing that Jiraiya seemed to be about to leave, examiner Gekko Hayate quickly rushed to the rescue.
Then he announced to everyone the goal of Preliminaries before the third Exam.
In Third Match Chunin Ninja Exams less than a month later, there will be spectators from different Three Great Nations forces and Family, not only witnessing the strength of Ninja representing the younger generations of each Shinobi Village, but also witnessing the unprecedented Three Great Shinobi Villages unity.
The reservation is Third Match Chunin Exams. Originally, the number of contestants was limited to ten people.
So Preliminaries competed against each other to select the final candidate.
However, due to the operation of a certain Uchiha boy who did not want to be named, there was a shortage of candidates.
"A two-by-two battle? Hey, the number of people is wrong, right?"
"Well, there are only six teams with eighteen people in total, ahem, so there are two places decided by the examiner..." Gekko Hayate nodded and read out the rules Jiraiya had made before, "If there are two places, the two will be drawn directly."
"So casual?"
"Two byes?"
"This feeling of being casual and not following the rules is so familiar..."
The candidates complained one after another and looked at the examiner Jiraiya with doubtful eyes.
Jiraiya, on the other hand, looked like an old god was present and had no intention of explaining anything.
I don't know why, many candidates turned their attention to Naruto in the group of examiners, and recalled that First Exam Arena also acted in this completely willful manner.
"Is there any mystery behind this? Is this the tradition of Konoha? Or is this also some kind of reminder in the rules of Exam..."
After experiencing the first Exam, some people have begun to wonder if there are any tricks and tests in it.
We can't say that their thinking is wrong. After all, this matter was really discussed by Jiraiya and Naruto. It's just that the matter is not that complicated.
In front of the Ichiraku Ramen stall last night.
Naruto, Jiraiya, and Kakashi were squatting in Barrier in the corner with Ramen in their hands.
"Hey, these noodles are good. They are smooth, chewy and have an aftertaste. I have been here before, but they are not as delicious as now... What should I do if there are less people?"
Jiraiya took a sip of Ichiraku Ramen, who was being blown so much by Naruto, and smacked his lips and asked.
"Hey, I've been eating here since I was a child. Uncle Teuchi's skills have been improving all the time. Don't just eat noodles, the soup is better, you can also drink it and see... Why don't the candidates have a fight with the examiner, those who can't beat will be eliminated."
Naruto made a suggestion that he thought was very suitable.
"Gulu, um, not bad! The aftertaste is long, and the flavor of the bones and green onions are perfectly blended... It's too troublesome, so I'll draw two byes."
Jiraiya thought for a while and said.
"Let me tell you, the tonkotsu Ramen and the barbecued pork Ramen are the most delicious. The one you ordered is not the most delicious... Kakashi-sensei, please buy another bowl."
Naruto Pass the empty bowl.
"Oh, then I also want to try the barbecued pork Ramen, Kakashi you mentioned, please!"
Jiraiya also smiled and handed the bowl over.
"... You two, how about we go to the store to eat?"
Kakashi held two empty bowls and pointed helplessly at the stall next to him.
"How is that possible? We are talking about important secrets related to Chunin Ninja Exams. How bad it would be for outsiders to hear about it!"
Jiraiya looked serious, looking as serious as possible.
"... If you didn't say it was a secret, I wouldn't even think it is one-tenth as important as the taste of Ramen."
Kakashi rarely complained, but I still went to give them some Ramen.
And as Jiraiya's memories ended, the lottery results for Preliminaries also came out.
Gekko Hayate immediately announced--

"Karin of Konoha and Neji Hyuga of Konoha have byes."
As the lottery results appeared, Karin held the blank lottery in his hand and stared. "Eh?"
