What Sarutobi wants to say is about the essence of the Zhongnin exam.

To put it simply, in addition to the superficial strengthening of friendly relations between ninjas, it is actually the epitome of war between countries.

When there is no war, countries use the Chunin test to observe the strength of other countries and measure the power gap between countries.

If the ninjas in your own country are far stronger than those of other countries, then you can safely put pressure on other countries.

If your own country is not strong, you can also realize how much other countries are behind, and you can find suitable countries to cooperate.

And in the final stage of the shinobi exam, the daimyos, nobles, and ninja leaders from many places will also come to watch.

Therefore, even the resources are affected by the results of the Zhongnin exam.

The middle ninja exam is to test the strength of a new ninja in a village, and the strong village will receive more resources and commissions, while the weak village will naturally reduce the tasks and resources.

"The strength of the country is the strength of the village, and the strength of the village is the strength of the ninja, and the true strength of the ninja can only burst out in a desperate battle!" The three generations of Hokage on the stage made a final summary.

"What's that for...... Do you still keep saying that it is for the sake of "friendliness"? Tian Tian frowned.

"Didn't I say it before, I hope you don't misinterpret its true purpose." Sarutobi looked at them, "The convention of using attrition battles to achieve a balance of power between each other is the so-called friendship of the ninja world!" ”

"The next exam is a life-and-death battle between ninjas." He looked at the young faces in the audience one by one, and said seriously: "So, before the exam, I have to emphasize again, don't treat it as an ordinary exam!" If you feel unwell, or if you want to abstain from voting, please raise your hand after careful consideration. ”

Uchiha Kusuo's eyes kept looking back and forth on Yakushidou and Orochimaru on the stage in the team around him, and he felt that the favorability meter was probably really broken, otherwise why would the favorability of these two people be so high???

When he looked at Orochimaru for the last time, the other party suddenly turned his head and accurately captured his gaze, the snake-like eyes widened slightly, and an excited smile appeared on the man's face.

[Oh, look who it is, did you find me?] How? What a funny kid......]

Kusuo Uchiha turned his head stiffly, this man's lines are always terrible.

He turned his head to face his pocket, just in time to see the other party suddenly hook the corners of his mouth, and then raised his hand.

"I abstain." Dou said.

"What...... What!? Naruto was shocked and asked directly, "Why?" Pocket seniors! ”

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......" At the signal of Sarutobi Sun Slash, a Konoha ninja with severe dark circles walked up, and he looked very weak. Coughing like this, people have to wonder if he is in the wrong place, he should go to the hospital, right?

"Hello, I'm Moonlight Blast." The man's movement as he stepped forward swayed slightly, but he quickly stabilized, and he said in a fluttering voice, "It's the examiner in charge of the qualifiers next." ”

"Uh, you're Konoha's Yakushidou, right?" Moonlight Blaster took out a stack of materials and looked at it, and said to Doudou, "Well, you can go." ”

After speaking, he coughed a few more times and reluctantly said, "Does anyone else want to quit?" Yes...... I forgot to tell you, but the next game is an individual competition, so it has nothing to do with the team, so please continue to think about it. ”

Kusuo Uchiha was about to move, and he really wanted to raise his hand now.

However, if he abstains without any injuries, the favorability of other people will definitely drop a lot, and they are all people who get along with each other often, and if the favorability is too low, it will be troublesome.

If you abstain now, your opinion will drop below 10, but you'll be able to teach a lesson when you pass by the other party......

Kusuo Uchiha held down his hand and held back.

Over there, Naruto was pulling his pockets and asking him why he had abstained, and everyone in the trouble looked over.

Dou sighed in his heart, but he helplessly explained, "I'm sorry, Naruto, but ...... My body was literally bruised. ”

Naruto was stunned for a moment, thinking that he had blocked two attacks for himself, and his hand instantly loosened, and he said uneasily, "No...... It can't be because of me, right? ”

"No, not because of that." Dou tilted his head, lowered his eyes and smiled bitterly: "Actually, before the first exam, the conflict with the Ninja of Sound Hidden Village had already made my left ear almost deaf, and then I had to fight with the ninja who risked my life in such a state, I ......"

Kusuo Uchiha almost applauded his superb acting skills.

[I also want to play with you for a while, I guess it's hard to encounter an interesting middle ninja exam like this year in the future, but in that case, I can't control my blood boiling......]

Walked away, and he used the movement of pushing his glasses to block his uncontrollable expression for a while.

[I'm also a spy, so I can't expose it yet, anyway, the adult is also there, so I don't have to collect information......]

A seeping smile cracked into the corner of the man's mouth under the palm of his hand.

[Anyway, we'll meet again, so let's save the fun for later......]

Uchiha Kusuo just looked at the villain laughter in his heart and left the examination room, and waved back at the door with the kind expression that the other party had quickly sorted out, and the doubtful favorability on the other party's head...... He got goosebumps slightly.

Ah, I don't know if it's an illusion, but I always feel like there are a lot of perverts in this world......

"Is no one going to quit again?" Moonlight Blast held a small notebook and asked, "So, let's start the qualifiers now." ”

He coughed a few times and continued: "The competition is a one-on-one one-on-one battle, and the winner qualifies for the third exam. Now there are a total of 23 people, who will play 11 rounds, and one person has a bye and directly advances. ”

"Huh!?" The crowd exclaimed.

"Ahem, cough, luck is also a kind of strength, wait for the list of battles to be randomly selected by the electronic display screen above, what opponent can be drawn, this also depends on luck." Moonlight Blast said.

[But someone can manipulate luck.] Kamiya Shimizu secretly said in his heart: [Kusuo-sama will definitely let himself be bye! 】

Kusuo Uchiha: I don't.

"There are no rules in this exam, fight until one side loses consciousness or concedes defeat." Moonlight Wind put down the notebook, and at the same time, the red bean asked people to open the electronic display screen above.

Kusuo Uchiha didn't bother to complain about what was going on with the tech tree in this world.

When the electronic display was slowly opened, everyone else was taken to the second floor by the examiners, lying on the railing and looking at the electronic display.

When the name on the electronic display began to flash wildly, Nara Shikamoi, who had not been in much of a state, finally reacted and looked at the screen slightly nervously.

Now that there are three more of them and a bye, will the battle list still be the same as in the original book?

The electronic display finally stopped scrolling, and two names appeared under the nervous gaze of everyone.
