The third pre-selection, which was much longer than expected, has finally come to an end. Moonlight Blast gathered the remaining candidates together and lined them up.

Of the original 24 candidates, only about one-third remained, and such an elimination rate is already relatively high.

Next, the third generation of the Hokage introduced the basic situation of the third test, and gave a month for all candidates to make targeted preparations.

The third test is not like the first two exams, there are too many accidents, it is an arena where the shinobi candidates need to show their full strength to win.

At the same time, one month is also a buffer period to notify the heads of various countries, daimyos, and other nobles to watch the Chunin exam.

After a few words of encouragement, it is time for the group draw of the third test.

In the end, the candidates' numbers and matchups still did not surprise Daimaru.

From the first to the ninth, they are Naruto Uzumaki, Ninji Hinata, Aira, Sasuke Uchiha, Kankuro, Shino Oil, Temari, Yakushidou, and Daimaru.

"I'm the last one, and I'm really ......"

Against the situation, it's just that Yakushidou replaces the number of Dos Anvil, and Daimaru replaces the position of Nara Shikamaru.

The first is the internal battle of Konoha Village between Naruto Uzumaki and Hinata Ninji, followed by Iairo and Uchiha Sasuke, Kankuro and Oil Girl Shino, as for Daimaru, nominally he will have to fight Yakushidou one more game, and the winner will compete with Temari for the top four.

But Yakushidou, a spy in the sound ninja village, obviously won't waste his energy in the middle ninja exam anymore.

In this way, if Sasuke Uchiha can't be on time as he remembers, and the match with Iara is postponed, the match between Temari and Daimaru will definitely be played earlier.

After the explanation, the third generation of Hokage Sarutobi announced the disbandment, and Kakashi Hachiki immediately left with Sasuke Uchiha.

The rest was also taken away by the respective teachers.

Only Daimaru silently went to the medical team of Konoha Village and hurried to receive treatment.

At least half of the month is spent in a hospital bed or wheelchair.

That night, Omaru was given anesthetics, and I don't know what kind of surgery the medical ninjas at Konoha Hospital performed on him, anyway, when I woke up the next day, it was already dawn.

By the windowsill, there was a familiar figure, it was the captain of the sound wind who had not been seen for several days.

Sensing Daimaru's movements, Otokaze turned his head.

"Konoha ninja is so powerful, it's really accurate to say that you will probably wake up at this time!"

Daimaru struggled to sit up, his arms and legs seemingly held in place by a plaster splint, bandages tied up and down, and a bracket around his neck.

"Am I alright? It looks very serious, will it not be able to catch up with the middle ninja exam in a month? ”

"Peace of mind, you will be able to barely move in ten days, but whether you can return to your peak state after a month depends on your physique, no one can say for sure, but ......"

"I'm also a puppeteer, even if I don't have a good body, I still have good combat ability, the impact is there, but it's not decisive!"

Ten days, Daimaru can still afford to wait, which is much better than imagined.

"It's good that you understand, and ......"

Tonewind pulled out a large scroll and handed it over.

"This ......"

Daimaru smiled awkwardly, his hands and feet were inconvenient, and there was really no way to do these simple communication actions.

"Look at me, confused!"

Otokaze chuckled and pushed a wheelchair in from the outside, on which sat Daimaru's stand-in puppet, and the doll Temari sat elegantly on his shoulder as usual.

"Konoha Hospital is really attentive, and originally arranged for a female nurse to come and accompany me throughout the whole process, but I drove it away."

"Chase away? Captain Tone, Sister Nurse is a man's romance, what a pity! ”

"I thought you had puppets, so you didn't need those, or I'd go back and find ......"

"Forget it!"

I always feel that if I accept such a thoughtful service, something bad will happen.

"It's good that you figure it out. Konoha Village also did not want to advance to the third exam, and the candidates appeared on crutches, which would lose face for this joint middle ninja exam. ”

Daimaru smiled understandingly, his fingers moving slightly, and the chakra thread connected to the puppet on the side.

"The fruit on the table was brought by me, you can eat it with confidence!"

"Thank you, Captain."

The puppet Temari picked up the fruit knife and meticulously peeled the apple, and the stand-in puppet took the scroll and brought it to his eyes, spreading it out a little, and several large characters appeared in front of Daimaru's eyes.

"The Art of Shadow Clones!"

In an instant, Daimaru's heart became excited, he took a deep breath, and then calmly closed the scroll.

Don't think that this B-level auxiliary ninjutsu is really rotten, it seems like a ninja will.

I love Luo, Temari and Kankuro Omaru don't know, Sand Hidden Village Shinobi, Omaru has never seen a person who can use the shadow clone technique, and the only one who is familiar with him has never seen him use it, and most of them can't.

"This is for me?"

"Hmmm! Senior Markey talked about your exam process yesterday and asked me to take care of you a little more! It's a pity that there was something yesterday and I didn't see you in the limelight! ”

"There will be a chance in the future! Anyway, thank you! ”

"There are a few ninjutsu in there that I think will be very helpful to you! Time is limited, and I don't know how much you can master! ”

What kind of secret techniques are in the scroll, Daimaru is not clear for the time being, just with a shadow clone technique, if he can learn it, his strength will be greatly improved.

"Also, you're a smart fellow, and there are some things I can't explain to you, but ......"

Yin Feng said hesitantly,

"Don't die!"

In just a few days, Daimaru actually heard the same admonition again.

"Huh?"

Daimaru was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said,

"Don't worry, I'm most afraid of death. hasn't captured Temari's heart, how can he be willing to die young! ”

"You're a fool, but you're funny!"

"Stupidity is superfluous, I call it wise and foolish!"

"Whatever you want."

Yin Feng sighed,

"Chiwa Yame wanted to come to see you not long ago, but I blocked it, and I'm likely to come back later!"

"Don't worry, it won't be rude!"

"I've got something to do later, I'm leaving. In addition, the eliminated sand ninja candidates will return early tomorrow morning! ”

"yes, it's okay to go home!"

"You...... Sure enough, I know something, it was Kankuro who told you...... Or Temari? ”

"I don't know what you're talking about, Captain, and I don't know everything, I only know what I should know!"

The sound wind looked at Orochimaru's smiling eyes, as if he wanted to discover something, and after a while, he waved his hand helplessly,

"That's it, work hard!"

"Forgive me for not being able to send it away!"

Daimaru manipulated the stand-in puppet and waved his hand exaggeratedly.
