Chapter 58 Lucky Blessing
For more than a day, no genin pushed the door of the central tower to come in. One can imagine the fierce competition among the candidates outside.
It wasn't until dawn on the fifth day that the dusty sound ninja Dos Anvil opened the door and walked in with the weak golden hammer and the stirrup on his chest with his arms tied with bandages.
The Oto Ninja, who opened two scrolls, stared at one of the blank Sky Scrolls in stunned silence. Then, the Konoha Chuunin who was summoned by the necromancy technique announced his disqualification:
"It's a pity that you were deceived by the fake scroll maliciously spread by your competitors. Although the responsibility is not yours, the rules are the rules."
"This is impossible. Since it is fake, why did the group of candidates we defeated resist desperately?"
Unable to accept the reality, Sac stirrup shouted emotionally.
"They are just like you, they can't tell whether the scroll in their hands is real or fake, that's all!"
Doszhin stared at one eye and asked in a cold tone:
"Is this okay? The examiner didn't say there were fake scrolls inside..."
"This is not the responsibility of the Konoha proctor. I can only blame you for your bad luck."
Still thinking of continuing to challenge Uchiha Sasuke to prove his own worth, Doszhin asked unwillingly:
"Can we still take the exam? There are still many scrolls outside, and we can get more Heaven Scrolls and Earth Scrolls."
"According to the rules, no! You were supposed to be unconscious until the end of the second trial. Since you have reached the central tower, I won't make things difficult for you..."
Not far away, the Konoha ninja and Sand ninja shook their heads regretfully as they watched the Sound ninjas being unlucky.
The team that was tricked by the fake scroll finally appeared, and the trio of sound ninjas were probably not the first, and they probably weren't the last.
Near noon, Nara Shikamaru, who was covered in scars and had Akimichi Choji's scarf tied on his arm to stop the bleeding, helped the limping Yamanaka Ino and walked in, followed by Akimichi Choji with a bandage on his head.
I don’t know what kind of hardships they went through in the past three days to get to this point.
Nara Shikamaru breathed a long sigh of relief and took out a Scroll of Heaven and two Scrolls of Earth.
"Ino, Choji, this is already our limit. Whether we can pass the next step depends on luck."
Saying that, Nara Shikamaru spread out three scrolls without hesitation and threw them on the ground.
Sure enough, there was nothing written in one of the "Earth Scrolls", but the other two scrolls were both true.
"Lucky guy!"
Daimaru muttered a few words in disappointment and stopped caring.
Except for Daimaru, when everyone present felt that only six teams were qualified, and Suna Ninja and Konoha Ninja were evenly matched, Yakushi Kabuto, Kenmizumi and Red Copper Armor, as well as Yakushi Kabuto who struggled to pass with the help of Yakushi Kabuto The seventh Konoha genin team finally arrived belatedly.
"Hey, what's going on? Could it be that the invigilator opened the back door for them? Are they all so lucky?"
Temari complained dissatisfiedly when she saw that the Suna Ninja was at a disadvantage.
Daimaru Yun said calmly:
"Don't underestimate the Konoha genin, there should be someone who can tell the fake scroll I made."
With the exception of Kabuto Yakushi, Daimaru had already considered it. As long as he was willing, it would be easy to help one or two Konoha genin teams pass the level.
I originally thought that Yakushi Kabuto would help a group of three sound ninjas for the sake of being in the same village, but it turned out that it was just these three guys with almost no companions. No one told them about the fake scroll, and they were unfortunately eliminated.
On the contrary, Nara Shikamaru, Yamanaka Ino and Akimichi Choji, who Daimaru thought had a high chance of failure, were favored by luck.
"There are eight teams in total, which is a lot!"
Daimaru looked around. Konoha Genin Class 7 and Class 10 were both scarred and would suffer a big loss in the next third trial.
The trio of sound ninjas that were supposed to pass the test were eliminated, and instead there were six more people: Daimaru, Nighteye, and Chi, as well as Saya, Shana, and Murasaki. Instead, there was an extra group.
Not long after, it was time for the second trial to be over.
All the invigilators for the second exam, including the examiner Anko Mitarai, were present. Except for the third generation Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen who came to preside over the exam, every qualified jounin of the Konoha team was present.
Three teams of Suna Ninja qualified, which seemed a bit unexpected. Only Maki came as a representative to watch the performance of Suna Ninja candidates. Daimaru's captain Nekaze and the Jonin of Miss Saya's team did not come.
In addition, there was a phenomenon that caught Daimaru's attention, that is, there was no sound ninja present.
Because the three sound ninjas were eliminated, the theoretical leader of the Jonin was actually Orochimaru in disguise, and the guy used to observe Uchiha Sasuke's performance was not there, so Kabuto Yakushi, who was responsible for spying on intelligence, probably would not I took the initiative to apply for withdrawal.
"Sorry, there's another variable! 』
There are a total of twenty-four genin, so the group competition in the preliminaries will definitely be completely different. It can be used to see whether the so-called random electronic screen is really fair.
Mitarashi Anko stepped forward and said loudly:
"This is the end of the second test of the Chuunin Exam. Congratulations to everyone present, you all passed! Now the Sandaime Hokage will introduce the third test to everyone. Please listen carefully."
What followed was a series of truths that even the newcomers didn't quite understand, but that the older genin already knew very well.
A stage to showcase the strength of each village's genin, allowing dignitaries from various countries to see clearly the strength and heritage of each major ninja village, thereby increasing their popularity and influence, and obtaining more missions.
The so-called third round of the Chunin Exam is actually an arena show.
Daimaru didn't listen too much, just observing the reactions of each candidate and the attitude of the invigilator present.
Until the end, no one mentioned the "fake scroll accident" in the Death Forest. It seems that the Leaf Village really doesn't think it is a big deal. Anyway, there are so many qualified teams, so it seems to be a little too much. .
Therefore, Moonlight Hayate took over the preliminaries for the third exam and began immediately.
No matter how reluctant the candidates present are, due to the time limit, the number of people appearing for the third test must be limited to ten people. This is an iron rule that cannot be changed.
Those nobles who came all the way to Konoha Village to watch the ceremony only wanted to see the competition between the top ninjas. A long and unexciting duel was not the purpose of Konoha Village's grandly held Joint Chunin Examination. A protracted competition was absolutely unacceptable. allowed to appear.
Even if Nara Shikamaru and Haruno Sakura expressed their dissatisfaction, nothing could be changed.
At the end of the introduction, Kabuto Yakushi did not raise his hand to quit, confirming Daimaru's judgment.
