After Nagato also thinks that his meeting with the three of them is over, Hinata Ichiro's shadow clone looks at Konan.

"Nan-chan, I'm going back!" Hinata Ichiro's shadow clone asked, "Are you coming with me?"

Hearing this, Xiao Nan looked at Nagato.

Through Xiao Nan's actions, Nagato knew that Xiao Nan was asking for his opinion.

Nagato thought for a moment and said to Hinata Ichiro's shadow clone: "Hinata Ichiro, Xiao Nan won't go with you!"

Hearing Nagato say this, Hinata Ichiro's shadow clone didn't force it.

"Okay!" Hinata Ichiro's shadow clone said, "Before August 15, I hope Konan can come to Konoha in advance!"

"Because August 15 is the day when the commission begins. ”

"Don't worry!" Nagato said, "Before August 15, Xiao Nan will definitely arrive in Konoha!"

"That's good!" said Hinata Ichiro's shadow clone.

Then, Hinata Ichiro's shadow clone turned away.

As soon as he took three steps, Hinata's shadow clone disappeared with a bang.

Seeing Hinata Ichiro's shadow clone disappear, Nagato, Konan, and Uchiha Obito also knew that Hinata Ichiro's shadow clone had taken the initiative to lift the 'shadow clone technique'.

"Alright!" said Nagato, "we should go back to the Rain Ninja Village too!"

After Nagato finished speaking, Uchiha Obito left with Nagato and Konan.

……

Konoha.

Over the 44th Exercise Ground.

When the shadow clone who met with Nagato and the others disappeared, Hinata Ichiro, who was hiding in the sky above the Forest of Death, received a message from his shadow clone to him.

After digesting the information passed on to him by his shadow clone, Hinata Ichiro muttered to himself: "After dispersing the members of the 'Akatsuki' organization to the Iwakuin Ninja Village, the Cloud Hidden Ninja Village, and the Fog Hidden Ninja Village, the plan I want to implement will not be afraid of external forces hindering it!"

"I hope Xiao Nan can come to Konoha soon!"

"Only in this way can I choke Nagato's life and not be afraid of the 'Akatsuki' organization secretly playing ghosts. ”

The reason why Hinata Ichiro asked the 'Akatsuki' organization to monitor the Iwakushi Ninja Village, Cloud Hidden Ninja Village, and Fog Hidden Ninja Village for a large-scale ninja gathering was that Hinata Ichiro did not want the powerful 'Akatsuki' organization to interfere in his plans.

If this were not the case, Hinata Ichiro could have let his shadow clone replace the members of the 'Akatsuki' organization to monitor whether there was a large-scale gathering of ninjas in the Iwakushi Ninja Village, Cloud Hidden Ninja Village, and Fog Hidden Ninja Village.

After muttering to himself, Hinata Ichiro refocused his attention on the forest of death below.

……

The last day of the second test of the Nakashinobi selection exam.

When the second test of the Nakaya Shinobi selection test ended, Hinata Ichiro's figure disappeared into the sky above the Forest of Death.

……

Forty-fourth Exercise Ground.

A certain level of the central tower.

When Hinata Ichiro appeared on a certain floor of the Central Tower, he saw Tsunade, Mitarai Azuki, and several auxiliary examiners for the second test of the Chunin exam.

Tsunade looked at Hinata Ichiro and said, "Ichiro, I've worked hard for you these past few days!"

"It's nothing!" Hinata Ichiro shook his head and said, "It's not much hard work for me......"

As soon as Hinata Ichiro said this, the assistant examiner who was in charge of registering the list of those who passed the second test of the Chushinobi exam reported to Mitarai Azuki through monitoring the situation of the second test of the Chushinobi exam.

"Azumi-sama, as of the end of the second test, there are 24 people who have passed the second test!" said the assistant examiner, "According to the regulations of the Chunin Selection Examination, the third test will be pre-selected for five years!"

"Second test, over!"

After the assistant examiner finished reporting, Mitarai Red Bean said, "Tsunade-sama, since the second test has ended, let's prepare for the pre-selection of the third test!"

"Good!" Tsunade said.

……

Forty-fourth Exercise Ground.

The ground floor of the central tower.

In the middle ninja exam jointly held by six ninja villages, including the Land of Fire, the Sand Hidden Ninja Village, and the Otoshi Village, because the reference candidates who passed the second test of the Naka Shinobi exam were only the Fire Country Reference Candidates, the Sand Hidden Ninja Village Reference Candidates, and the Sound Ninja Village reference candidates, so the only Shinobi who entered the central tower were the Fire Country Kamishinobi, the Sand Hidden Ninja Murakami Shinobu and the Sound Ninja Murakami Shinobu.

Glancing at the reference candidates in front of him who had passed the second test of the Zhongnin Exam, Mitarai Red Bean said loudly: "First of all, congratulations to everyone for passing the second test of the Zhongnin Selection Exam. ”

"Secondly, because there are more candidates who have passed the second test of the Chunin Selection Examination, it is necessary to pre-select the third test of the Chunin Selection Examination before holding the third test of the Chunin Selection Examination!"

"In other words, half of the 24 of you can't enter the third test of the middle ninja selection exam!"

Hearing the words of Mitarai Red Bean, Temari raised his hand.

Seeing Temari raise his hand, Mitarai Red Bean asked, "Candidates from the Sand Hidden Ninja Village, what questions do you have?"

"Examiner Mitarai, this year's Chushinobi Selection Exam is based on the total score of the three tests!" Temari asked, "In such a situation, why would there be a qualifier with an elimination nature for the third test of the Chushinobi Selection Exam?"

"Because the third test of the Chunin selection exam needs to be conducted in front of dignitaries from various countries!" said Mitarai Azumi.

"If you don't pass the qualifiers with the nature of elimination, won't you be promoted to the middle ninja?" Temari continued.

"No!" Mitarai said Azuki, "the qualifiers for the third test and the third test race are both part of the third test. ”

"Even if you don't pass the qualifiers with the nature of elimination, you have a chance to become a middle ninja!"

"It's just that those who pass the qualifiers with the nature of elimination have a better chance of being promoted to the middle ninja than those who do not pass the qualifiers with the nature of elimination!"

"After all, those who pass the qualifiers with the nature of elimination will have a higher score value!"

After listening to Mitarai Azuki's words, the doubts in the minds of Temari and other reference candidates who had passed the second test of the Chunin Exam disappeared.

Seeing that Temari no longer asked silently, Mitarai Red Bean said to the reference candidates who had passed the second test of the Zhongnin Exam: "Next, Tsunade-sama will explain the third test to everyone!"

"I hope you'll listen attentively!"

Speaking of this, Mitarai Red Bean turned to face Tsunade and said, "Tsunade-sama, I'm sorry for your trouble!"

Tsunade nodded at Mitarai Azuki.

Tsunade looked at the group of reference candidates who had already passed the second test of the Chunin Exam, and thought to himself, "I really didn't expect that among the reference candidates who passed the second test of the Chunin Selection Exam this year, newcomers accounted for the vast majority. 」

"This is quite unexpected!"

After thinking about it, Tsunade spoke: "The third test will be held next, and before I explain the exam, there is one thing I want to make clear to you - that is, the real purpose of this Zhongnin selection exam!"

"Why do the allies hold the Chunin selection exam together?"

"Promote friendly relations with each other and improve the strength of ninjas - I hope that everyone who has come here will not misinterpret the true meaning of holding the joint ninja selection exam!"

"This Zhongnin selection exam can be said to be the epitome of the war between the Allies!"

"What's going on?" Inuzuka asked.

"Looking back at the past history, the current Allied powers used to be neighbors competing with each other!" Tsunade explained, "In order to avoid needless combat power consumption on each other, these countries were selected as the battlefield for the Chunin selection exam!"

"In other words, avoiding the unnecessary consumption of combat power is the original origin of the Zhongnin Selection Examination!"

"Why do you have to do this?" Naruto Uzumaki asked aloud, "Isn't the Chunin Selection Exam an exam held for the selection of Chunin?"

"That's right!" Tsunade said, "The Chunin Selection Examination is indeed an exam held for the selection of Chushinobi!"

"At the same time, the Chinese ninja selection exam is also a battlefield for ninjas who shoulder the prestige of the country to sacrifice their lives to fight!"

"National prestige!" Inuzuka muttered to himself.

"In the main match of the third test, many important people and celebrities who usually entrust us with their work will be invited to Konoha to watch the game as guests!" Tsunade said, "In addition, the daimyo and ninja leaders of various countries who own the ninja village will also come to Konoha to watch your performance!"

"With the development of the economy, the total amount of commissions has been growing!"

"However, there is a limit to the growth rate of delegations!"

"In other words, the total number of orders is limited over a period of time!"

"If there is a significant difference in military strength between countries, the mandate of the strong will increase and the commission of the weaker country will decrease. ”

"After all, the client must want his commission to be successfully completed!"

"At the same time, the selection test is also to show the neighboring countries that 'our village has strong combat power'!"

"That is, to put pressure on the outside!"

"So what!" Inuzuka asked aloud with an unhappy expression, "Is it necessary to fight desperately?"

Hearing Inuzuka say such things, Hinata Ichiro didn't wait for Tsunade to speak, so he preemptively spoke: "Inuzuka Ya's total score will be deducted 10 points!"

After Ichiro Hinata finished speaking, most people, including Tsunade, were taken aback.

"Why?" Inuzuka looked at Hinata Ichiro and asked with a dissatisfied expression, "Supervisor Hinata, why are you deducting me 10 points?"

Seeing Inuzuka asking himself why with a dissatisfied face, Hinata Ichiro said expressionlessly: "Inuzuka will deduct another 10 points from the total score!"

Hinata's re-deductible move angered Inuzuka.

Just as the enraged Inuzuka was about to question, Inuzuka's guide, Shinobu Suzuki, spoke.

"Ya, in this Chunin selection exam, if you still want to be promoted to Chunin, then stop talking nonsense!"

Hearing Yoshiichi Suzuki say this, Inuzuka had no choice but to suppress the anger in his heart.

Seeing Inuzuka suppressing his anger, Hinata Ichiro spoke: "As a ninja, you need to be aware of your efforts anytime and anywhere. ”

"If you don't have the consciousness to work hard anytime and anywhere, don't become a ninja. ”

"Because a ninja is the one who dances on the tip of a knife!"

Hinata Ichiro's words made some of the reference candidates who had passed the second test of the Zhongnin exam awe-inspiring.

After Hinata Ichiro finished speaking, Tsunade said: "The military strength of the country is the power of the ninja village, and the power of the ninja village is the strength of the ninja!"

"It is only in desperate battles that the true strength of a ninja is brought to life. ”

"The Chinese ninja selection test is a platform to show the strength of their ninjas to other countries!"

"Therefore, it only makes sense to fight by risking your life!"

"That's why the ancestors took the Zhongnin selection exam with the dream that 'the middle ninja is a goal worth fighting for'!"

"And how do you emphasize friendliness?" asked Locklee.

"I've already said that I've already said this about emphasizing friendship - I hope you don't misinterpret the meaning of the Nakashinobi selection exam!" Tsunade said, "Ladies and gentlemen, the convention of killing to achieve a balance of power between each other is the so-called friendship of the ninja world!"

"The Zhongnin selection exam is a battle that requires risking one's life on one's dream and the prestige of the village!"

"Agreed!" Naruto Uzumaki said.

"Don't talk nonsense!" I said, "Let's talk about how to risk your life to fight!"

"Okay!" Tsunade nodded, "Guys, there's one thing you need to do before you go to the third test qualifier!"

After Hinata Ichiro finished speaking, Tsunade said: "The military strength of the country is the power of the ninja village, and the power of the ninja village is the strength of the ninja!"

"It is only in desperate battles that the true strength of a ninja is brought to life. ”

"The Chinese ninja selection test is a platform to show the strength of their ninjas to other countries!"
