Mu Yue didn't know what Sarutobi Hiruzen and the Master talked about in the end, but the result was pretty much what he expected.
The Kirigakure candidates continued their exams as normal, and those Kirigakure ninjas who were captured were released directly, as if nothing had happened.
Five days later, Mu Yue looked at the clock and officially announced the end of the second exam. All teams that failed to gather all the scrolls and reach the middle tower were eliminated.
"It's finally over, can we go outside?" Obito complained.
It only took them a few hours to pass the exam, and they have been living in the middle tower ever since.
Obito even felt uncomfortable practicing in the middle tower, and could only exercise in the large open space inside the tower.
"Everyone, please be quiet. Now the chief examiner of the third exam, Beiliuhu, will explain to you the relevant matters of the third exam." Mu Yue said with a smile.
Mu Yue also has a position in the third exam, but the explanation still has to be done by the chief examiner.
A ninja wearing a gray-yellow high-collared jacket and long white hair walked up to Mu Yue.
"I'll trouble you next, Senior Beiliuhu." Mu Yue said with a gentle smile.
Hiruko, Tsunade and Jiraiya are all friends, so Mu Yue and Hiruko can be considered friends of friends, and they got along well during the Chunin Exams.
Bei Liuhu smiled at Mu Yue and responded, "Well, leave it to me."
After watching Mu Yue walk to the side, Bei Liuhu smiled and said to the examinees: "First of all, I would like to congratulate you all for successfully passing the second exam."
"But unfortunately, you cannot leave the Central Tower for the time being. Before starting the third exam, you must take a preliminary exam. Only after passing the preliminary exam can you take the third exam."
"Why make it so troublesome and have another preliminary selection?" Obito asked in confusion.
"Yes, we finally passed the second exam and now we are very tired." Some ninjas thought this was unreasonable.
"Because there will be many high-ranking officials and nobles coming to watch the third exam, they are all people who can provide a large number of high-quality commissions. The exam time is a big problem, so the number of places for the third exam is limited." Beiluhu explained calmly.
The reason for keeping all the candidates who have passed the test in the middle tower is to facilitate the preliminary selection. This would not be necessary if we were only talking about the rules for the third game.
Beiliuhu's planned number of participants was about eighteen, but since there were forty-four reference teams for this exam, even if most of them were eliminated, there were still eleven teams that completed the exam. Each team had three members, and the total number seriously exceeded Beiliuhu's psychological expectations, so an additional test was necessary.
"The preliminary battle will no longer be a group battle, but a one-on-one battle, which will be held in one round. Candidates who are unwell or not confident in their abilities can give up in advance." Beiluhu continued to explain the rules of the preliminary selection.
In order to make the third exam exciting enough, the preliminary rules are the same as the third exam, and the test is about individual combat capabilities.
"Fighting alone..." Nohara Lin showed a worried expression after hearing this. She was not very confident in her ability to fight alone.
"Xiao Lin, there will be no problem for you. Just be careful when you meet people from the same village, or you may get killed with one punch." Obito encouraged with a smile.
"I'm not that strong." Nohara Lin's face puffed up slightly, and she looked a little unhappy.
"What Obito said this time is indeed right. Xiaolin, your strength has surpassed many candidates. As long as you don't encounter those particularly strong Kirigakure, you will have no problem entering the third exam." Kakashi nodded.
Even though Nohara Rin has a low presence among them, Kakashi, who has been a ninja since he was five years old, is very experienced. Nohara Rin's level is already very strong among Genins, she just lacks the means of long-range attack, but all Genins are like this.
"Well, I will try my best no matter who my opponent is. Let's enter the third exam together." Nohara Lin nodded and said. Kakashi's words made her feel a little more at ease.
After all, Kakashi is indeed much more reliable in this regard.
"It's actually a one-on-one battle. I feel like it's all over." Genma Shiranui looked at the Genin around him and felt like a husky among wolves.
He knew the Genin on the field who were about his age. They were all monsters. Obito's team was full of monsters, and those in the Hidden Mist were also very powerful. Apart from these people, even the smallest Asuma team was one year older than them, and many more Genin were several years older than them.
"There's nothing I can do about losing. After all, it's because of my lack of strength." Ebisu's expression was very calm.
At this point he almost knew what his level was. He was able to take the exam because of Might Guy. If he could become a Chunin it would be a bonus, if not he would just consider it as accumulating experience.
"Indeed, after all, it is all thanks to Kai that we can get here." Shiranui Genma put his hand on Might Guy's back and said with a smile.
"Everyone has contributed. From now on, we just need to fight with all our strength and leave no regrets." Might Guy gave the two of them a thumbs up and said.
Shiranui Genma and Ebisu both nodded.
"If we meet Kakashi, Obito and the others, we must give them a big surprise." Asuma was quite confident in himself.
He and Mu Yue learned a lot about the changes in the properties of wind-attribute chakra. Now, the ninjutsu he is best at is no longer fire jutsu but wind jutsu.
"Uh, I think Kakashi should just forget about it." Bingzu Leitong advised Asuma not to think too much, as he had passed the Chunin exam a few years ago.
"I give up." A Kirigakure who was wrapped in bandages all over his body next to Mei Terumi raised his hand to give up.
He was the Kirigakure who was severely injured by Might Guy. Although he survived by chance, five days were not enough for him to recover from his injuries, so he gave up directly.
Mei Terumi looked indifferent. At this point, she wouldn't care what decisions her teammates made because it was time for their individual performances.
"The taijutsu kid in green tights, the white-haired masked ninja who likes to act cool, and Hoshigaki Kisame." Mei Terumi silently recited her competitors for the championship in her heart, preparing to watch their fight closely later.
Since Obito was best at Fire Style and was defeated by her once head-on, Mei Terumi did not include Obito in the group.
Beiluo nodded in agreement and then asked, "Is there anyone else who wants to give up? If no one gives up, the preliminary election will begin."
No one responded to Beiliu Hu's words. It has come to this point, and no one would want to give up unless there is really no other way.
"That's great. Next you can pay attention to the information on the big screen. After the draw is completed, your pre-selected opponents and their order will be displayed on it." Seeing that no one gave up, Beiliuhu pointed to the huge display screen behind him and spoke.
About five minutes later, the originally dark screen lit up, and a series of battle lists appeared on it.
Mu Yue took a quick look and didn't pay any attention to it, because Kakashi, Obito and the others were all bound to pass.
It's not that they can definitely beat everyone, but the preliminary draw is not completely random. The people who arrange the draw will not let those strong candidates meet in the preliminary selection, so as to ensure that the third exam is exciting enough.
"The first match is between Uchiha Obito and Kono Hideyoshi. Candidates, please prepare for battle." Obito shouted one minute after the list appeared.
"The first one is me. Look, I will be the first successful one." Obito said confidently.
They had previously obtained a lot of information cards from a team of Konoha ninjas, including Kono Hideyoshi's information card.
Hideyoshi Kono graduated at the age of ten. Last year, when he was twelve years old, he took part in the Chunin Exam and entered the third round but did not become a Chunin.
In Obito's opinion, if he hasn't become a Chunin at the age of thirteen, his strength must not be that strong. Kakashi became a Chunin at the age of six, but he was still defeated by him.
"Come on!" Nohara Rin smiled and cheered for Obito.
"Be careful, don't lose to someone who is weaker than you." Kakashi reminded lightly.
With the blessings of his two teammates, Obito walked to the middle of the large open space. Kono Hideyoshi exchanged a few words with his teammates and also walked over. The other candidates went to the second floor to watch the battle under the guidance of the examiner to avoid disturbing the battle.
"He looks young, but since he can pass through the Forest of Death, he cannot be underestimated." Kono Hideyoshi thought to himself as he looked at Obito, who was obviously much younger than him.
"The battle begins!" Beiluohu shouted immediately after seeing the two men getting ready, and then retreated to the edge.
"Breathing of Fire, breathing with full concentration!" Obito immediately entered a state of full concentration, and his physical ability and fire jutsu ability increased rapidly.
"Fire Style: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet!"
While entering full concentration and breathing, Obito immediately formed a seal in his throat to condense chakra and spit out a large flame.
Like a large number of dancing fire dragons, the flames spread towards Hideyoshi Kono at a rapid speed, instantly turning the ground within ten meters nearby into a world of fire that surrounded Hideyoshi Kono.
Looking at the ferocious flames that seemed to be about to engulf him whole in the next moment, Kawano Hideyoshi was dumbfounded. This was a fucking Genin. He had been a Genin for several years and had never seen a Genin using such a powerful advanced fire escape technique.
Even Obito's Fire Style was shown in surprise when he saw Obito's Fire Style. This kind of Fire Style is rarely seen among Chunins, let alone Genins.
"Is he a genius like Orochimaru, Jiraiya and the others?" Obiru couldn't help but feel a little envious.
After finding that he had no way to deal with it, Hideyoshi Kono dropped the kunai in his hand, saluted in French and said, "I surrender."
He couldn't fight at all, so Hideyoshi Kono thought it would be better for him to lose early to avoid suffering.
"Uchiha Obito wins!" Obito announced Obito's victory very straightforwardly. The two opponents were not on the same level at all.
"Uchiha Obito, I remember he was a famous loser, how come he became so powerful?" The Konoha ninjas who graduated before Obito's rise were very puzzled.
"The last one? That guy is a real monster." Nara Yuito, who witnessed Obito fighting the Kirigakure jonin alone, exclaimed.
Obito's Fire Dragon Flame Bomb caused a huge discussion during the exam.
Although Obito got rid of his title of last-place finisher in the practical exam in his fourth grade, only Might Guy and a few others were in the same grade as Obito in this Chunin exam, and the other Konoha ninjas were basically a few years older than Obito.
Those who graduated long ago would not pay attention to the information about ninja schools. In their perception, Obito is still the last one in Uchiha.
"No matter how powerful your Fire Style is, you are no match for me." Mei Terumi was very calm.
"Obito's Fire Style has become so strong. How did he train it?" Asuma showed a puzzled expression.
He vaguely remembered that during the training, Obito's Fire Style was not much stronger than his. But more than half a year had passed and he was like a completely different person.
Asuma instantly lost his confidence in defeating Obito, as this fire escape looked too brutal.
"Maybe they work harder when we work hard." Bingzu Leitong couldn't help but say.
He was unwilling to lose to Obito and the others before, and originally wanted to win back in the Chunin Exam. After seeing Obito's Fire Release, he no longer wanted to meet Obito.
Obito walked back to the second floor with a bright smile, and said with a grin, "Well, I'm fast enough. I finished the battle in less than a minute."
"Yeah, very impressive." Nohara Lin affirmed with a smile.
"I can only say it's okay. It's not a wise move to use such a ninjutsu that wastes chakra right at the beginning." Kakashi began to find fault.
"Kakashi, you may be jealous, but I am very generous. If you don't make it to the third round of exams, I will definitely comfort you." With Nohara Rin's praise and support, Obito ignored Kakashi's slander.
Of course, if Kakashi really lost, Obito would laugh at him for a whole year. It would be too funny for a Chunin to not even make it to the third round of the Chunin Exam.
"In the second round, Genma Shiranui will face Mei Terumi." Hiruhu quickly read out the names of the candidates for the second round.
"What bad luck." Shiranui Genma sighed.
Read the original text at Liu#9@书/吧!
The good news is that he knows the enemy's intelligence. The bad news is that the enemy is too strong and he will be defeated even if he knows the intelligence.
"It's okay. The person before you surrendered in seconds anyway, so it won't be too embarrassing for you to surrender." Ebisu said, raising his sunglasses.
"Go away, I have to fight her no matter what." Shiranui Genma hit Ebisu on the chest.
Although Genma Shiranui knew that he would definitely not be able to defeat Mei Terumi, he did not want to end up like Hideyoshi Kono before the fight even started.
As he wished, Genma Shiranui exchanged a few moves with Mei Terumi, but it was only a few moves. Genma Shiranui just spit out a Senbon and punched and kicked at close range, but Mei Terumi locked him in a water prison and he couldn't get out, so he had to admit defeat.
Although he had prepared himself mentally, he still felt uncomfortable being defeated so easily by Genma Shiranui. After all, he was a very powerful figure in the class when he was in the ninja school. The gap was really too big.
Genma Shiranui was already prepared to go back and find Teacher Chen for more practice. He would practice to death as long as he didn't die. He didn't want to experience this embarrassing scene a second time.
The winners of the next two consecutive battles were Kisame and Zabuza, both of whom won by defeating their opponents with absolute advantage.
"The fifth match, Hatake Kakashi versus Mizumoto Koji."
"Come on." Nohara Lin waved her fist to cheer Kakashi on.
"Don't lose." Obito used Kakashi-style encouragement.
Kakashi nodded calmly and jumped down from the second floor.
Since Mizumoto Koji was a Kirigakure ninja, Kakashi had never met him in the second exam and didn't know much about him, so in the first wave of confrontation, Kakashi chose a tentative attack.
After discovering that Mizumoto Koji was far inferior to him in strength, Kakashi immediately unleashed his Lightning Breathing and used an extremely fast sword to put White Fang on Mizumoto Koji's neck, ending the battle.
"The sixth match, Nohara Rin versus Nakane Toda."
"Believe in yourself, there will be no problem." Kakashi said after returning to the second floor after finishing the battle.
Nakane Toda is a Konoha ninja for whom they have information. He is from the same class and team as Kono Hideyoshi who was killed instantly by Obito before.
"Xiao Lin, you will definitely win." Obito gave his blessing.
Nohara Lin smiled and nodded, then walked down the stairs and into the battle arena.
Nakane Toda looked at Nohara Rin with caution. Although Nohara Rin looked weak, both of Nohara Rin's teammates won by crushing them, which made him dare not underestimate Nohara Rin.
"He looks so thin, he probably isn't very strong in physical skills." Nakane Toda carefully observed Nohara Rin's body and analyzed her information.
He thought that Nohara Rin should be as good at ninjutsu as Obito.
So Nakane Toda immediately formulated a battle plan, starting with harassment using ninja tools and then engaging in close combat, as physical skills happened to be his strong point.
"The battle begins!"
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!
As soon as Hiruhu finished speaking, Nakamoto Toda immediately took out his shuriken and threw it at Nohara Rin.
"Basic breathing, full concentration!"
Nohara Lin immediately entered the basic breathing state to improve her physical abilities.
Then something happened that Nohara Lin didn't expect. She was still thinking about how to approach Nakane Toda, but Nakane Toda rushed towards her directly.
Since Nakane Toda came to her on his own initiative, Nohara Lin didn't hesitate and directly condensed a large amount of chakra in her arms to perform a super powerful punch.
Bang!
With a loud bang, Nakagen Toda, who was fighting with Nohara Lin, flew backwards like a cannonball and hit the ground hard, leaving spider-web-like cracks.
At this time, there was silence in the middle tower, and the candidates were all staring in amazement at Nohara Lin who was still punching in the venue.
They thought it was too weird that a weak-looking nine-year-old girl could knock the muscular Nakane Toda, who looked big and strong, away with one punch.
"Hiss." Asuma gasped, with an expression of disbelief on his face, "When did Xiaolin become so violent? Oh no, why is her physical skills so powerful?"
In Asuma's impression, Nohara Rin is an ordinary student who is good at theory and average in all other aspects, but Nohara Rin's punch just now was too exaggerated.
"I'll go talk to her after the exam." Xihihong also looked shocked. She had never seen such a scene before.
Bingzu Leitong's feet were already numb, and he felt that even Nohara Lin was not easy to deal with. If this punch hit him, Nohara Lin would have to kneel down on the spot and beg him not to die.
"Nohara Rin wins." After discovering that Nakane Toda had lost the ability to fight again, Hiruko announced Nohara Rin's victory.
After passing the preliminaries, Nohara Lin smiled. It was much easier than she had imagined. She thought she would have to fight hard to win.
After all, she is far inferior to the excellent Obito and Kakashi.
"I told you, Xiaolin, you can do it." As soon as Xiaolin walked to the second floor, Obito congratulated her.
"Thank you for your trust. Now our entire team has passed." Nohara Lin clasped her hands together and smiled brightly.
Kakashi nodded without saying anything. He knew Nohara Rin's strength among the Genin better than Nohara Rin did. The reason Nohara Rin was so unconfident was simply because the people she was with every day were too strong, which led to her illusion.
As the preliminary examinations progressed, successful candidates continued to emerge, many of whom were acquaintances of Obito and Kakashi.
Asuma, Nara Yui, Inuzuka Midori, some of them are friends Kakashi and his friends met at school, and some of them are those they fought together in the Forest of Death.
Kakashi also discovered that in addition to their team's success, all members of the Kirigakure team created by Hoshigaki Kisame also successfully entered the third exam, and all members of Mei Terumi's team except the ninja who gave up also entered the third exam.
Apart from that, there was nothing else. Nara Saltwater Team's Aburame Nao also lost, and Asuma's team lost except Asuma who successfully merged with Leitong and Yuhi Kurenai. Among them, Leitong was the most unlucky because he met Might Guy.
Only Might Guy succeeded in Might Guy's team, and Ebisu lost to Yamashiro Aoba.
"The preliminaries are over. A total of sixteen people have advanced to the third exam, namely Uchiha Obito, Mei Terumi..." When all the battles were over, Obito announced the final results.
After announcing the list of qualified candidates, Beiliuhu immediately told the arrangements for the third exam.
"The rules of the third test are basically the same as the preliminary round you just took. You will have one-on-one battles according to the draw results. The winner will advance and the loser will be eliminated until the final winner is determined.
In the third test battle, you need to use all your abilities without reservation in the battle. There will be special ninjas to score the test. If you perform well enough, you may not be unable to become a Chunin even if you lose. On the contrary, if you do not perform well, you may not be able to advance to Chunin even if you win in the end. "
The rules of the third exam are the same as the practical exam of the Ninja School. There will be someone specifically scoring each round of battle, looking at the overall quality of the ninja.
"Next, the person whose name I call will come up and draw lots. The battle order for the third exam will be determined by this draw." Beiluhu then took out a box and said.
The order of drawing lots was based on the results of the battle just now, and Obito was the first to be called up to draw lots.
Obito didn't hesitate. He reached in and took it out immediately, then showed it to Obito.
"Uchiha Obito number nine." Hokage called out.
Then everyone had to recite their numbers after drawing their numbers. After everyone had drawn their numbers, the big screen that had been in darkness lit up again. This time it showed the match arrangements for the third exam, with number one versus number two, number three versus number four, and so on.
Obito didn't rush to look at his opponent, but looked at the name of number four, because Nohara Rin was number three.
"It's that Nara Salt Water. It doesn't seem easy to deal with." Obito was a little worried about Nohara Rin.
He had seen what Nara Yano had done in the Forest of Death. He was a guy as sinister and cunning as Kakashi.
"Yeah, he seems like a very calm and alert person." Nohara Rin nodded. She was impressed by the fact that he almost helped Obito kill the Jonin even though he was unable to perform basic actions.
"But I will fight with all my strength. After all, the examiner also said that I can become a Chunin even if I lose."
