Chapter Fifty-Nine: The Third Exam Qualifier is Over!

The game after game continues and will not stop because of some hiccup. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Watching the two sides on the field fight to the death, Naruto was excited, and at this moment, he was the only one left in the seventh squad. If it weren't for the need for someone to hand over the results and arrangements of the qualifiers, Naruto would have rushed to the intensive care unit at this moment and had been guarding Hinata's side all the time.

Recalling the girl's strength and unyielding just now, Naruto clenched his fists and his eyes were sharp. The next time we meet, we must kill Hinata's bastard......

"Ahem...... In this game, Toth Anvil wins! ā€

Suddenly, the referee sounded in the audience and announced the verdict in the moonlight blast. It turned out that just when the boy was stunned, another game was over.

"So, I declare! The qualifiers for the third exam are all over! ā€

"Huh?"

Naruto was stunned for a moment, it turned out that he hadn't just missed a few games......

Following the arrangements of the examiners, the eight ninjas who won walked into the arena one after another and stood in a line. Looking at the crowd around him, Naruto was a little stunned, the wheel of history seemed to have returned to its original trajectory, at this moment, there was no change in the winner, and Rock Lee was still losing......

"All of you have successfully advanced to this Zhongnin exam...... Ahem, despite the absence...... But I still want to congratulate you from the bottom of my heart! ā€

Referee Moonlight Blizzle habitually coughed lightly a few times and continued.

"Next, I would like to ask Hokage-sama to explain to you the rules and arrangements for the official competition of the Zhongnin Exam!"

ā€œ......ā€

Slowly taking a puff of his pipe, the three generations of Hokage stepped forward and glanced at the ninjas of various countries in front of him one by one.

"As I said before, you will have an official competition under the watchful eyes of famous families from all over the world. You now represent the highest fighting power of each country, and I hope that you will be able to perform at your best when the time comes. ā€

ā€œ...... For this reason, the official contest will be held in a month! ā€

"What?!"

Hearing these words, the ninjas who had just been promoted were quite surprised. The previous battles, one after another, were tested after the written test and the actual battle. If it weren't for the team that entered the tower in advance and could take the opportunity to rest for a while, everyone would not have died of exhaustion. And now, it's a bit surprising that they're being given a full month off.

"This is a time to prepare...... And not just because of you. This is to allow ample time to inform the daimyo and ninja leaders of each country and gather them to watch the official match. At the same time, it will give you plenty of time to prepare. ā€

Hearing this explanation of the three generations of Hokage, everyone seemed to understand something, but it was as if they didn't understand anything, and someone couldn't help but ask out loud.

"What does that mean, I'm still a little unsure......"

ā€œ......ā€

With a long puff of smoke, the three Hokage continued to answer.

"To put it bluntly, this is for you to make targeted preparations. Analyze your opponent's performance in the qualifiers and increase your chances of winning. ā€

ā€œ...... In official matches, opponents who may have previously retained will show all their hole cards. In other words, the battle situation will be even more tragic, and it is inevitable that there will be bruises all over the body...... For the sake of fairness, it has only been arranged for a whole month, and during this time, please work hard! ā€

"Of course, it's okay if you want to get some rest."

In the end, the three Hokage pressed the hat and said a witty remark to ease the somewhat dull atmosphere.

ā€œ......ā€

Hearing these words, everyone was silent, and no one would think that this whole month was spent on them relaxing and playing. When the time comes, if they mess up the game, they will not only lose their own face, but also the negotiation table of the bigwigs, and they will be punished by their own high-level management.

ā€œ...... Although I would like you to disband immediately, there is one more thing I would like to trouble you for the sake of the official competition. ā€

Nodding to the invigilator Mitarai Azuki beside him, the three Hokage continued.

"Each of you needs to pull out a piece of paper from the wooden box in the red bean's hand. One for each person, I'll continue to explain after everyone has drawn......"

A moment later, everyone got a folded piece of paper.

"Alright, it's all done...... From left to right, read your card numbers one by one......"

"No. 8...... No. 3 ...... No. 5 ......"

As everyone present responded, the invigilator Ibiki, who was standing on the side, quickly wrote on his noteboard.

"Then I will announce the matchup in the official match! Ibihi, let them look at the clipboard......"

After saying that, the invigilator Ibiki took two steps forward and showed everyone the competition in a month. And the first place on the list is none other than "Naruto Uzumaki VS Ninji Hinata!" ā€

"Humph......"

Seeing that disgusting name again, Naruto snorted coldly and forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart. It's not a good time to do it at this time, but if you make another move in front of Hokage-sama now, it will be a little lawless and ridiculous. Let's concoct that scum when the time comes, and then ......

"Whether it's a tactic or a complete rest, it's up to you to do that...... Is there anything else to ask before the disbandment? ā€

Slowly holding the pipe, the third Hokage asked out loud.

"I have ...... Look at the above arrangement is a knockout system, so there is only one person who wins in the end, and only the last winner can be the middle ninja? ā€

Shikamaru raised his right hand and asked his own question.

"No, it's not. In the official competition, I, Kazekage, and the invited daimyo and ninja leaders will be present and serve as judges. We will give you the final verdict based on your performance in the competition. Those who are judged to have the qualifications of a middle ninja can become a middle ninja even if they fail to pass the first round of the battle. ā€

"So...... We all have the possibility of becoming a middle ninja? ā€

A ninja from the outer village asked.

"Yes...... But it's also possible that you won't be able to become a shinobi! Winning in the knockout rounds just means being able to increase your chances of showcasing your talents, and that's it. ā€

After saying this, the three generations of Hokage paused for a moment, seeing that no one asked any more questions, and finally spoke.

"So you've worked hard these days...... See you in a month! ā€

"Disband!"
