From the highest auditorium, from this position, you can have an unobstructed view of the venue.

But even in the highest auditorium, everyone here is sitting in a well-organized manner.

Sitting in the most conspicuous place of the auditorium is naturally the shrine maiden Shion, who represents the supreme power of the Kingdom of Demons.

Behind her, on both sides, stood a shrine maiden, protecting Shion's safety. On the lower left side, sat Fenghua Koyuki, the daimyo of the Snow Country. As a daimyo of the country, it was natural to attend such a feast.

A certain amount of respect must be shown. Next to him are the third husband, the auxiliary minister of the Snow Country, and a Jonin of the Snow Country. They are wearing a set of heavy and sophisticated heavy armor, with only their own eyes exposed, giving people an oppressive power.

Sense.3

After that, the number of people increased...

Senior members of the Demon Country's military and government departments, headed by Shiraishi, Ruri, and Ayane, as well as the Fourth Kazekage Rasa who came to offer condolences as representatives of Sunagakure and the Wind Country, and the representatives of Kirigakure and Wind Country.

The acting Mizukage Terumi Mei was present at the Water Country. Behind the two of them, they were followed by powerful jounin to protect them as bodyguards. 1

Envoys from other countries also gathered here and were distributed in an orderly manner.

There are also relatively special figures, such as Hinata Hanabi, who represents the Hyuga clan of Konoha, and is also located here. With the support of Konoha Anbu and the branch ninjas, they sit here.

Although it is a nice sight to see the Hyuga clan of Konoha and the Hyuga clan of the Kingdom of Demons fighting each other here, no one here would mention such embarrassing things at this time.

Some words can only be said in secret and cannot be stated in such a public place, otherwise it is likely to attract double pressure and targeting from the Kingdom of Demons and Konoha.

While the atmosphere was still being warmed up, Liuli's eyes inadvertently glanced at Fengying Luosha's body, revealing a little surprise in his eyes.

Although I heard from Shiraishi yesterday that the Rasa Society represented Sunagakure and Wind Country to attend the finals of the Joint Chuunin Examination, I still couldn't believe it when I saw the other party coming in person.

As a personal participant in the Wind Country War four years ago, and one of the culprits that led to the serious decline in Sunagakure's military strength in recent years, Liuli knew very well that in that almost one-sided massacre war, Luo Sa

How depressed I was at that time.

It can be said that as one of the Five Kages, even his self-esteem as a Kazekage was severely shattered. At that time, Sunagakure even began to consider removing Rasa from the position of Kazekage and selecting other strong Jonin to serve as the Kazekage of the Five Generations.

Shadow positions.1

At that time, when everyone was not optimistic about Luo Sha, the other party unexpectedly survived such a desperate situation and came to the Kingdom of Ghosts as an envoy, which made Liuli look at the other party.

I just don’t know that Lord Kazekage, who has regained his faith, can now take several of her swords without losing. 6

Liuli couldn't help but look forward to it.

In the lively atmosphere of the scene, time passed by minute by minute.

"Then, it's almost time to announce the start of the game."

When Shiraishi saw that the time was almost up, he stood up from his seat and walked to the front of the platform.

His every move has attracted the attention of most people. Although his reputation is still not as deeply rooted in the hearts of the people as the so-called Five Shadows, in terms of status, he is not inferior to the Five Shadows at all. However, the spread is not so wide and it will take time.

accumulation.

This joint chuunin exam is a good opportunity to promote yourself and the Kingdom of Demons.

Although gaining great fame will expose oneself to certain dangers, there are countless assassins who want to become famous, and they are staring at his head. But today's ghost country is indeed not

Covert action is required.

With his current strength, he is not afraid of any assassination.6

When most of the people in the venue focused their attention, the bustling sound began to weaken, and the audience's voices only spread within a small range, whispering.

It was Shiraishi's first time to host such a scene, but compared to the more intense and exciting war scenes, this kind of scene could not cause any disturbance in Shiraishi's heart.

With a calm smile hanging on the corner of his mouth, he picked up the microphone handed over by the person next to him. Under the spotlight, the sound was clearly transmitted to the ears of everyone present:

"Everyone in the audience, first of all, thank you very much for traveling all the way to participate in the third joint Chunin Examination held by our country of ghosts. According to the rules of the third exam, which is the final of the Chuunin Examination, it will be held by

Fourteen genin candidates who have advanced from the preliminary round will compete in pairs. Now I announce "2

"The finals have officially begun!"

After Shiraishi said these words, the audience at the scene was quiet for a moment, and then burst into enthusiastic shouts like a torrent.

The atmosphere at the scene was once again dominated by the enthusiastic mood of the audience.

The fourteen genin sitting in the center of the field competition stage were also slightly frightened by the intense enthusiasm of the audience.

Although some genin don't like to show their abilities in public, they also know that now is not the time to hesitate. Carrying the honor of the village and the country, they can only keep going in this final.

The fight continues.

Taking Shiraishi's words as a signal, Jonin Onijima, as the examiner of the third exam, faced the fourteen genin candidates with a positive image.

He took out a game map, and Onigashima Ninja said to these genin: "Well, please confirm again now, the opponents you will face next. And if you advance in the first round, who will you meet next?

, and then make full use of the available intelligence to analyze the stakes and obtain a higher winning rate." 1

According to the painting above, the fourteen genin will have seven games in the first round, and the seven games are divided into two groups. The first four games are group, and the last three games are group b. In other words, group b due to lack of

In a game, the winner of the fifth game will have a bye and directly enter the semi-finals. The winners of the sixth and seventh games will be in the same group and need to advance step by step.

Seeing this competition system distribution map, Asuka, a participant in the fifth game, also had a slight smile on his lips.7

As long as he wins, he will have a bye and directly enter the semi-finals.

This is undoubtedly an unexpected surprise for him who does not have much chakra. 4

The premise is to win the first round to advance to the semi-finals.

Temari, who was also a contestant in the fifth match of the first round, also looked happy and felt very lucky.

As one of the three female ninjas in the finals, she is inherently weaker than the boys in terms of endurance.

If there is a bye in a game after promotion, it will give her enough time to recover her strength and chakra.

The rest of the people also had different ideas and were constantly thinking about how to proceed with the tactics in their minds.

"The rules of the competition should have been sent to you two days ago. I'm sure you won't do anything illegal. Now, let's invite the two players from the first game, Gaara of Sunagakure and Kirigakure.

Shiro from the village stayed for the first match. The rest of the people please go to the observation deck during the preliminaries and wait quietly for the time being. Your guiding jounin is also there, and maybe he will provide you with some good information in the subsequent battles.

Reference opinions.”1

Under the orders of Onigashima Shinobi, Gaara and Shiro stayed at the venue.

The rest of the people exited the venue in an orderly manner, walked through the stairs, and reached the high observation deck where the preliminary rounds were held.

Not only the guiding jounin of each group gathered here, but also some players who were eliminated in the preliminary round, such as Shikamaru, Choji, Kankuro and others.

Compared with the auditorium with seats, the observation deck not only has seats arranged, but also has a larger space between each other, so it will not appear crowded and has better space for activities. More importantly, it is closer to the stage of the competition.

, can see the whole picture of the playing field more clearly.

Although there are huge screens erected on both sides of the venue, which can present the scenes on the competition stage in extremely detail. However, compared with the scenes visible to the naked eye, the battle scenes seen through the screen will inevitably lose some uniqueness.

flavor.

"Shikamaru, you are here too."

Naruto walked up and said hello.

"Yes, as contestants in the qualifiers, we are also qualified to stand here and watch the battle. It is indeed clearer here than in the audience stand."

Shikamaru nodded.

Next to him, Choji kept eating snacks and looking at the competition field below with a smile.

At this time, Temari and Kankuro were not thinking about the competition, but were looking at the audience stand at the highest point opposite.

There, their father, the Fourth Kazekage, was attending.

Although his father can take time out of his busy schedule to watch his children's games, there is still a little worry in his eyes. 2

They were very worried that the other person's father sitting there might bring back not so good memories of the past because of something.

After all, sitting there was the culprit who caused Sunagakure's weakness a few years ago.

Just thinking about it, they also knew that their father Luo Sha was enduring great pressure and pain, remaining motionless there.

Jonin Maki was also very worried because Rasa came in person without prior notice. 11

But compared to the still immature Temari and Kankuro, although he was also worried about the situation on Rasa's side, he could control the emotions on his face, not showing any expression, and just praying silently in his heart.

As the strongest pillar of Sunagakure Village, he did not want another accident to happen to Luosha.

Especially here in the land of ghosts where the gap is deep.

At this moment, there was a surprising movement at the competition stage.

I saw eight ninjas from the Kingdom of Ghosts distributed in the four corners of the stage, with one ninja sitting cross-legged in each corner.

The four ninjas sitting down have very eye-catching red hair, scrolls in their mouths, and their hands are tied in extremely complicated seals. 6

Suddenly, a colorful light curtain shot up into the sky, extending to an altitude of hundreds of meters, before slowly stopping its upward trend and stabilizing.

At the same time, a space similar to a triangle appeared at the bottom of the colored light curtain, shrouding the ninja who formed the seal and the jounin beside him in the barrier.

Colorful light curtains are connected two by two to airtightly surround the playing field, forming a cage-like area similar to a square.

After forming this kind of Jedi, the colors of the light curtain suddenly melted into the air and disappeared. On the light curtain, only transparent ripples occasionally rippled to distinguish the boundaries between the inside and outside of the light curtain. 1

"What is that?"
