Sasuke leaped onto the stage, holding a pale yellow Screaming Chicken in his hand, a look of disdain on his face.
They had fought Dosu and his companions in the Forest of Death before.
To their surprise, they had stolen Dosu's team's scrolls, and yet they had still managed to pass the second exam.
"You've got some skill," Sasuke said coldly.
A sharp glint flashed in Dosu's eyes.
"I will get revenge for the humiliation in the Forest of Death today!"
"Then let's see if you have the ability!" Sasuke's eyes changed, and with a slightly wicked smile, he raised the Screaming Chicken and squeezed it hard three times.
"Wooo!"
"Wooo!"
"Wooo!"
Instantly, all the lights in the arena began to flicker.
From the speakers, which were originally meant for announcements, music they had never heard before suddenly played.
"I am an idol trainee who has been practicing for two and a half years..."
"Beat You Too Beautiful! Eh eh, eh eh. Beat You Too Beautiful! Eh eh, eh eh. You are truly too beautiful! Eh eh, eh eh..."
In the center of the arena, the Screaming Chicken in Sasuke's hand suddenly swelled to the size of a basketball and bounced repeatedly on the empty ground.
The "beautiful" dance moves instantly set the entire venue ablaze, and many people began to feel unwell.
Especially Dosu, who was closest to Sasuke, had already collapsed to the ground, vomiting continuously.
Seeing him like this, Sasuke sneered. He wanted to stop but found he couldn't.
Only after the entire song finished and he struck his final pose did the dance finally stop.
The ninjas waiting around the arena were all groaning and retching. As for Dosu, who was closest to him, he was foaming at the mouth.
Gekko Hayate wiped his mouth and slowly walked to the center of the arena.
Although he still felt like vomiting, as the examiner, he had to announce the results first.
"The winner of this match is... cough!"
He turned around and, after a while, recovered.
Wiping the tears from his eyes, he said, "Sorry, that was an accident."
"Now, I announce that the one who advances in this match is Beat You Too Beautiful, no, Uchiha Sasuke!"
Then, he turned his gaze to the side of the arena, marveling at the power of Sasuke's dance ninjutsu.
"Due to the influence of the dance ninjutsu, there will be a temporary break of half an hour before the next match!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ino and Sakura, who were supposed to be in the second group, breathed a sigh of relief.
If they had to compete in this state, they might have collapsed from discomfort before they could even defeat their opponents.
In the scratch-off ticket shop, Wu Di rested his chin on his hand, looking up at the sky with a sigh.
"I bet this Chunin Exam will be very exciting!"
"With Beat You Too Beautiful, and Five Second Man..."
"It's a shame I won't be able to see it!"
His current invincibility zone was only a hundred meters around his small shop.
In other words, if he left this area now, he probably wouldn't even be able to defeat Konohamaru.
Just as he was feeling dejected, Tsunade arrived again.
This time, she brought Shizune with her.
As soon as she entered, Tsunade slammed down a stack of one hundred thousand ryo in silver notes.
"Give me ten ten-thousand ryo ones to pass the time!" she said generously.
Then she looked at Shizune beside her, "You scratch half first, and give me any gold light you see!"
Shizune nodded slightly.
After taking the ten ten-thousand ryo scratch-off tickets from Wu Di, Shizune began scratching.
Soon, gold light appeared one after another.
Tsunade became more and more excited as she watched, and quickly snatched them over to continue scratching.
The ten scratch-off tickets were used up in a flash. Counting the winning silver notes in her hand, she burst into laughter.
"It's really great here! I can actually see my money come back, hahahaha!"
Wu Di felt awkward.
He really wanted to add that she was so happy after exchanging one hundred thousand ryo for one hundred and thirty ryo.
In all the land, perhaps only Tsunade was like this!
"Alright, I had a lot of fun today. I'll come back to gamble again in a couple of days!"
As she finished speaking, Tsunade carefully tucked the one hundred and thirty ryo into her embrace.
Her cautious demeanor was far more intense than when she had taken out one hundred thousand ryo.
Watching her figure gradually recede, Wu Di let out a sigh of relief.
"She really is a casino's fat sheep!"
The exam grounds.
After a short period of adjustment, these people had recovered about seventy to eighty percent of their condition.
Ino and Sakura took the stage one after another.
At the edge of the arena, Naruto was stealthily moving around.
Clutching his groin, he came up to Tenten and whispered, "Tenten, do you have any smoke bombs? Lend me a couple."
Tenten had the most ninja tools among these ninja.
She had almost everything a ninja could use.
She questioned him with a bit of doubt, "What do you need smoke bombs for?"
Naruto chuckled.
"I haven't been feeling too well lately. When I compete with Kiba later, I want to use a couple to confuse his vision!"
Tenten looked at him as if he were an idiot.
Everyone present knew that the head of the Inuzuka family primarily practiced the ninja dog style.
Anyone from their family, if picked at random, would have an extremely sharp sense of smell.
Wanting to use smoke bombs to confuse Kiba was simply wishful thinking.
She casually took out several smoke bombs and threw them into Naruto's hand, saying, "I only have these, take them all!"
Naruto bowed repeatedly, "Thank you so much, Tenten."
In the center of the arena, Sakura and Ino's match had already begun.
These two had grown up together since childhood.
Even as children, they were outwardly friendly but inwardly at odds.
A perfect pair of fake sisters.
"Forehead, don't forget to use your Five Second Man!"
"Looking at your flat chest, you really do look a bit like a man!"
Ino covered her mouth and giggled.
Sakura clenched her fists, veins bulging on her forehead.
"You're the flat-chested one! Be careful, I'll rip your mouth open!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the two of them started fighting.
The Yamanaka clan primarily practiced the Mind Transfer Jutsu.
However, with Sakura attacking at such close range, it was not suitable for using Mind Transfer.
She gritted her teeth and formed hand seals.
"In that case, I'll let you experience the Flower Butterfly Illusion!"
She shouted.
Instantly, many beautiful butterflies appeared before Sakura's eyes, dancing gracefully.
She had heard about the effects of the Flower Butterfly Illusion at the scratch-off ticket store before.
As expected, it didn't take long before the butterflies in front of her suddenly increased.
Gradually, they blocked her vision.
She stood still, motionless, yet Ino's attacks came from different directions around her.
As their leader, Asuma looked puzzled.
He turned to Shikamaru and asked, "What exactly is going on?"
Shikamaru picked at his ear and replied vaguely, "Ino scratched out a genjutsu from a scratch-off ticket. Sakura probably fell for the genjutsu!"
His words made many people perk up their ears.
From the beginning, they had heard that the scratch-off ticket store could yield good things.
They hadn't expected that it could even yield ninjutsu; how magical!
Asuma gritted his teeth, the consequences of his last scratch-off still fresh in his memory.
His father's profound love felt as though it had happened just yesterday.
Especially when he was with Kurenai Yūhi during this period.
Whenever he was a little disobedient, Kurenai would hit him with that darn stick.
"After this exam, I really need to get a scratch-off!" Asuma took a drag from his cigarette and sighed deeply.
