Amid the cheers, Momoka announced:
"Congratulations to Hatake Sakumo for winning the championship single-handedly! Based on the points tally, second place goes to the Senju Squad! Third place goes to Ōnoki's Squad!"
"Fourth place-Sakumo's Squad!"
"Fifth place-Guangsheng's Squad!"
"Please give them a big round of applause!" Ten thousand spectators applauded, the sound rolling like thunder.
"Champion's rewards-choose two of the four potions, choose one A-rank ninjutsu, and bring a five-person squad to participate in the war to conquer the next world!"
"Runner-up's rewards-choose one of the four potions, choose one B-rank ninjutsu, and participate in the war to conquer the next world!"
"Third-place rewards-choose one B-rank ninjutsu, with participation in the war subject to circumstances."
"Might Duy defeated two examiners. His special reward-one session of Hell Training!"
"A total of 321 candidates have been promoted to chunin. Congratulations to them all once again!"
Thunderous applause rang out...
Everyone had plenty on their minds. To improve his strength, Maruboshi Kosuke decided to throw himself into completing missions.
Might Guy and Might Duy flashed their pearly white teeth and gave the audience a thumbs-up. They still looked comical, but no one mocked them this time.
Chen Yifang resolved to accelerate his advanced study of Strengthening Taijutsu. He felt that nintaijutsu was too limited and wanted to diversify the Konoha Dragon God.
The conflict between Ōnoki and Xiao Zi deepened.
Kurama Mine kept apologizing, convinced that her weakness had held the squad back. Yuhi Yang comforted her while encouraging himself.
Kato Takashi sank into regret. Knowing only Water Release was not enough; he needed stronger ninjutsu, preferably something with unpredictable attacks that could not be blocked.
After his defeat, Little A decided to delve deeper into nintaijutsu and invent moves with greater offensive power before facing his nemesis, Might Duy, again!
