The day after the fireworks show, Konoha ushered in the third round of the joint ninja exam on the biggest tournament in Konoha.

At this time, all the lower ninjas who participated in the assessment had already prepared on the sidelines of the arena, waiting for the official start of the competition.

And the audience from all over the world has already sat down in the audience seat of the competition arena, waiting with great anticipation.

In the midst of all the attention, the Daimyo of the Land of Fire and the Daimyo of the Land of Wind came to the exclusive seats with the best views.

And under the daimyo, there are the four generations of Hokage Wave Feng Shui Gate and the four generations of Kazekage Luosha.

In the original book, the four generations of Kazekage during the middle ninja exam were faked by Orochimaru, and he also covered his face with a face towel.

However, the current four generations of Kazekage are themselves, so they don't wear a face scarf, but show their true faces.

At this time, the two daimyo and the two kages were heavily guarded, and they were all strong ninjas guarding them.

And Yusuke was also awarded the position of Advisor Minister by the Daimyo because he was in the Land of Fire.,At the moment, I'm sitting next to the Daimyo of the Land of Fire.,Talking and laughing with the Daimyo.。

Since there were still about 90 candidates left, in order to be able to complete all the competitions in one day, the competition field was divided into four areas, and the four areas would be competed at the same time before the top eight candidates were decided.

Only after the quarterfinals are decided will the rest of the matchups be played one by one. And the competition after the quarterfinals is also what all the audience is looking forward to the most.

The system of the game is completely a knockout system, and two shinobi are then drawn to fight, and as long as they lose one, they will be out, so there is also an element of luck.

However, for the selection of the middle ninja, it is not completely based on the final results. If a player is eliminated halfway, but performs well in the process of fighting and shows outstanding strength, then he can still pass the assessment and become a middle ninja.

The chief examiner of this assessment is Izumi Mei, and her powerful instantaneous technique can ensure the safety of the ninjas in the competition to the greatest extent.

Before the final eight, there are four tournament arenas where ninja battles are held at the same time, so in addition to Izumi who is the main examiner, there are also four deputy examiners who are in charge of each of the four tournament arenas.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, the fourth generation Hokage Mizumon, as the host, stood up and made an official statement, encouraging all the players to compete at a high level and style in the competition, and wishing everyone good results.

After speaking, Izumi announced the official start of the third round of assessment.

The electronic screen above the arena began to appear continuously, and the opponent of the competition was immediately drawn. And when the two shinobi fight against each other to determine the winner, the screen will also display the result.

Because of the large number of people, there may be more than one battle against the same shinobi before the quarterfinals.

However, in order to make the competition fair, the relevant settings have been made in the procedure for drawing contestants, and when the ninja is drawn, only the ninja with the least number of battles will be drawn first.

Ninja fights are usually fast, and victory or defeat is often only instantaneous.

Even in the original book, Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, Sakura, and Kakashi fought against Otsuki in the Fourth Ninja World War, and it only took one night.

Situations such as the battle between the Thousand Hands Pillar and Madara for three days and three nights, or the three generations of Thunder Shadow and the 10,000 ninjas of Iwakure fought to the death for three days and three nights, are just extremely rare cases.

In the case of two or two battles in four arenas, there are basically four groups of opponents who can decide the winner every ten minutes, and even if there is time for the players to rest, one morning is enough to decide the bottom of the quarterfinals.

As the competition continued, the outstanding performance of many ninjas also attracted the attention of all the audience.

For example, Kurama Yakumo's powerful illusion to crush opponents, Iara's terrifying sand with both attack and defense, Yota's ninjutsu to control the changing weather, and the strange-looking but powerful flounder in the hands of Chojuro, etc.

These extremely distinctive ninjutsu or fighting styles, while watching the audience are addicted, they are also looking forward to the quarterfinals in the afternoon.

As the competition ended, players continued to be eliminated, and when it was close to noon, the morning elimination rounds were all over.

The final eight ninjas selected were Kurama Yakumo, Iara, Sasuke Uchiha, Naruto Uzumaki, Omoi, Ninji Hinata, Kuroto, and Fu.

Unfortunately, Yota took the initiative to admit defeat because he met Kurama Yakumo, and Chojuro of Kirin Village also used his defeat in the duel with Kuroto to illustrate the meaning of the phrase 'water comes to cover the earth'.

Some other ninjas with outstanding strength, such as Xia Riang from Xingyin Village, Aziyi and Darui from Yunyin Village, and Konoha Xiao Li, were also defeated because of strong enemies.

In the afternoon, Izumi, as the chief examiner, began to preside over the battle of the remaining top eight players, and the rest of the battle will be played one by one.

As the names kept turning on the big screen, the hearts of all the spectators and players in the audience hung in the air.

"Sasuke Uchiha vs. Naruto Uzumaki!"

After it was immediately extracted, Yusuke, who was sitting next to the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, couldn't cry or laugh.

He didn't know what to say except that these two were fateful opponents.

Sasuke and Naruto, who were originally sitting together, glanced at each other and came to the test arena together.

Seeing the two little guys, Izumi announced the start of the competition with a smile on her face.

Before the announcement, Izumi also winked at Sasuke. After all, she is the descendant of her own family, and of course Izumi still hopes that Sasuke can win.

Seeing Sasuke on the court, Itachi, who was standing far away on the outskirts of the audience, also divided part of his attention and paid attention to the battle between Sasuke and Naruto.

"Sasuke, although you are my subordinate, I will not release water here!" Naruto shouted loudly with his hands on his chest.

Sasuke, who was concave with his hands in his pants pockets, was furious when he heard this: "What nonsense are you talking about, when did I become your subordinate!" ”

Naruto laughed and said, "Don't forget that when I registered our squad for the Shinobi exam this time, I was the captain. As a member of the team, you are naturally my subordinate. ”

"That's just a coin toss and you won, and you said that after becoming the captain, you will invite me and Yota to eat ramen, but you haven't invited you yet." Sasuke's shape was no longer concave at this time, and his two hands were taken out of his pockets and clenched into fists, obviously in a very unhappy mood.

The voices of the two are not big, and they are not small. Among the audience, there were many ninjas with excellent hearing, and they laughed when they heard the conversation between the two.

He Tai, who was outside the court, covered his face with both hands, feeling that he was too embarrassed to be a teammate of these two people, and Xiao Li next to him patted him on the shoulder comfortingly.

At this time, Izumi on the field coughed dryly twice, and looked at Naruto and Sasuke with a dangerous gaze.

The two felt the murderous aura in Izumi's eyes, and immediately stopped bickering, and put on a posture to prepare for a showdown.
