Chapter 111 The Final Exam
After a few days of rest, the candidates taking the Chunin Exam finally learned the news about the make-up exam.
The candidates were in tears.
finally.
Finally, they ushered in a new dawn.
If they lost their qualifications for the Chunin Exam because of such an explosion, they would probably be traumatized for the rest of their lives.
Fortunately, they still have a chance.
The content of the make-up match is also very simple.
Simply put, it means 'tearing off the number plate'.
Each candidate will be given a number tag.
The content of the test is to seize other people's number plates while keeping your own number plate.
"Of course, candidates who accidentally lose their number plates don't need to panic. Just get two more number plates to offset the one you lost."
The narrator at the podium gave the final instructions.
"That is to say, candidates who keep their number tags only need two number tags at the end of the test to pass, while candidates who lose their number tags must have three number tags to pass - of course, candidates from the same team do not count."
This rule is mainly to prevent the team from sharing what they have. After all, if one of the three people gives the number plate to his teammate, they only need to grab another number plate to ensure that two people can pass.
This kind of 'harmonious' thinking is what the examiners don't want to see in the Chunin Exams.
In fact, after experiencing the previous two exams and the accident, people were quite satisfied with the performance of this year's candidates.
No matter who ends up becoming a Chunin, everyone agrees - it's just that the Chunin Exam is a display and screening process after all.
Then you can't change your original intention because of an accident.
Hence the final hurdle.
"And we have already chosen the venue for the competition."
While the host was speaking, the ninja from Takigakure Village also understood and stepped forward, using the mirage technique to demonstrate a venue.
When the green appeared, people with quick reactions recognized it almost immediately:
"Isn't that the jungle where the explosion occurred?"
That’s right, the lush and green final examination location is the jungle created by the power of the Gray Stone.
The jungle has become larger and denser than before.
It also looks better than before.
Lush greenery against a backdrop of yellow sand
It looks so pleasing to the eye.
People looked at him, almost forgetting the terrifying explosion that had happened before, and just marveled at the beauty of the green.
"Yes, we have chosen the same venue for the new retest. In the next three days, the candidates will use this forest as the boundary for the final test. Those who leave the forest will be regarded as giving up. Please be sure to pay attention to your position."
The host completed the explanation work.
The examiner from the Sand Village stepped forward and announced the start - not giving the candidates any chance to communicate or discuss in advance.
The candidates had to rush towards the examination venue quickly to avoid being deemed as having forfeited because they arrived too late and failed to enter the jungle in time.
Although only a few days had passed, the old students felt as if they were in another world when they saw the jungle that almost destroyed their chances of promotion.
But out of their desire for promotion and their ninja qualities, they did not stay outside, but rushed in quickly.
After confirming that all the candidates had entered, the Mirage Technique also adjusted its field of view and position, and began to track the candidates in the forest. However, because there were too many obstructions in the forest, it was difficult for the Mirage Technique to be displayed close to the faces as in the past. Instead, the screens could only be separated, with one showing a wide-angle overview and the other tracking different groups separately, in order to display as unobstructed a picture as possible.
The ninjas of the Sand Village breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that their plan was successful.
In fact, they have many alternative venues for the make-up exam.
The reason for choosing this place is, on the one hand, for the sake of fairness, just like the ruins - these two places are areas that even the candidates from the Sand Village have never been to, so of course there is no such thing as a 'host advantage'.
All candidates are standing at the same starting line.
On the other hand, it is also to examine the safety and stability of the jungle.
According to the previous agreement with Miss Yu Yue, this place is part of the future 'Desert Style Resort'.
If it can be proven to be safe and reliable, and have unique scenery (it already has a unique and story-telling origin), then subsequent tourism projects such as "Starry Sky Camp" and "Desert Monitor Lizard Cycling Sightseeing" can be launched around it to attract more tourists to visit.
This way, Ugetsu's plan for the 'Ninja Inn' that he had thought of in the past would have a chance to be realized.
They can definitely launch this in-depth desert tour program in various places.
We continuously receive tourists from all over the world in batches with different departure dates.
Since the organizer and tour guide are ninjas, there is no need to worry about your safety along the way.
You can also discuss accommodation with various hostels and inns.
Make reservations in advance, confirm the rooms and service contents, and strive to ensure that tourists can enjoy high-quality services that allow them to just pack up and leave without having to worry about anything.
Although this will make the price slightly higher.
But after all, you only have to pay once and you don’t have to worry about food, accommodation and safety issues, so it is still cost-effective overall.
Of course, you can also include entertainment, but that will be at a separate price.
“Won’t that price scare away tourists?”
Some Sand Village ninjas who estimated the price expressed concern.
Although everyone knows that this is a good deal, when the numbers are there, it is still quite shocking.
It is inevitable that some people will be scared off by the shocking price. How can you expect people to think it is a good deal if they don’t even look at the service content?
Yu Yue: "Can't you write XXXX '起'?"
If people think ordinary is enough, that is the initial price.
If you like the top-of-the-line package with full service, you will have to pay a different price.
How simple it is.
After finalizing the plan, the next step is naturally to conduct an investigation.
——Is there any better way to assess the situation than through the Chunin Exam?
Not only will the candidates live in the jungle for three days, but they will also have to constantly chase and fight during this period.
Are there any potential risks that cannot be detected after three days of testing?
They can also use the candidates' actions and lifestyles to think about whether there are other better projects or ways to use the jungle.
The images displayed by the mirage technique can also be used directly for publicity.
Simply perfect.
It was only because Ugetsu only participated in the front business part of the meeting and did not participate in the subsequent Chunin Exam content that Orochimaru kept it a secret.
But when she learned that the make-up exam would be held here, she almost immediately realized what those people were up to.
Yu Yue even felt a little relieved.
The ninjas of the Sand Village have finally grown up well.
Know how to use existing conditions to create opportunities and value.
Our cooperation in the future will surely be smoother.
Yu Yue continued to watch the last exam in the jungle with peace of mind.
Unlike in the past, we needed to find this and analyze that.
The situation is different because we also need to jointly resist external enemies.
The content of this exam is rough, straightforward and simple.
What we want is a confrontation.
Apart from teammates, everyone else is an opponent.
And even if they are teammates, they will not be 100% dedicated to others because they have their own number plates to protect.
This is the only way to maximize one's ability to face challenges.
After all, no matter what, combat capability is the most direct way to judge the strength of a ninja and the power of a ninja village.
From the moment people enter the jungle, this personal war begins.
In addition to attacking, lurking and protecting important information are also compulsory courses for ninjas.
So the audience at the scene once again saw the ninjas' new skills.
Some people choose to hide their number plates.
You can hide it on your body or somewhere in the jungle.
The palm-sized number plate disappeared like magic after the ninjas chose their spots and wiped it.
It's breathtaking.
"These trees all look like they were carved from the same mold. How can they be found if they hide here?"
"And the grass... wow, it even recovered! Isn't it even harder to find?"
It is simply incomprehensible to people who usually just put things somewhere and forget about them.
Why are these people confident that they can get it back in this way?
Ugetsu had some experience because he had been dealing with ninjas for many years - after all, his own employees had once caught Tsunade who broke into the staff dormitory by relying on a small change of one or two millimeters.
Maybe every ninja has a software that can find differences in their eyes.
The kind that locks the mark in one second.
but……
Ugetsu stared at the screen with Uchiha Shisui on it.
The young man was standing on the treetop, looking into the distance, as if he had noticed something. His expression was quite serious - completely different from the smiling face he usually had.
Every time at this time, Ugetsu would suddenly feel like, 'Ah, Shisui is also a ninja.'
Because they have been together almost since coming to this world, she always accidentally forgets Shisui's identity as a ninja.
With his handsome features and always smiling face, he is a golden assistant and also like the gentle and considerate big brother next door.
The only thing he didn't look like was a ninja who had come out of war and killing.
.
——As for the ‘legendary Uchiha’ and ‘bloodline of the Shura of the ninja world’, it’s even more outrageous.
It's not like Yu Yue hasn't heard of the legends of Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama.
But it feels more like a myth than a biography of the two people.
What? He can stand up more than ten meters tall by waving his hand.
The two men fought so hard that even the terrain was destroyed.
Ninjas are not Gundams.
So to Ugetsu, even though Uchiha Shisui was very powerful, he didn’t feel that he was very distant.
Until recently, I saw the ninja side of him.
"That's the Uchiha genius."
Hearing Orochimaru's voice, Ugetsu turned his head and looked over.
I saw the other party looking intently at Uchiha Shisui who was performing the Mirage Technique.
There was a complex expression on his face, not sure whether to say it was yearning or deep thought.
"The Uchiha have always been a clan favored by the God of the Ninja World."
Let’s not talk about the Sharingan.
Putting aside the Sharingan, the excellent qualities they possess always allow the Uchiha to produce many amazing geniuses.
If one child appeared in other people's families, people would be ecstatic, but it is the norm for the Uchiha family.
In almost every generation, there is an amazing genius.
Regardless of age, they can demonstrate outstanding strength and performance far beyond ordinary people.
This is something that other families and other ninjas can never do.
This is something that Orochimaru had never said to anyone else before, but now, looking at Uchiha Shisui's performance, he blurted it out somehow.
If other ninjas heard this, they would definitely feel uncomfortable.
We are all ninjas, who would like to hear people say things like 'that child is born an elite and no one can compare to him'?
Besides, Orochimaru is not an Uchiha, and it is inevitable that people will think of something wrong when he says this to an Uchiha.
But Yu Yue is different.
She even tried to comfort Orochimaru:
"It's a good thing that Uchiha is excellent, so that you can hire better employees in the future."
As a boss, who wouldn’t want one subordinate to be able to do the work of eight and create more profits for themselves on a daily basis?
Orochimaru was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Ugetsu.
"You are a senior technical director, you have money and skills. Wouldn't it be easy to hire a few Uchiha?"
Thoughts of Rainy Moon
Wei is very simple.
The Uchiha bloodline is excellent, so wouldn't it be good for me to hire this excellent ninja?
Anyway, in the ninja world, the best people are hired based on merit.
Orochimaru actually wanted to say that he didn't mean that.
But he thought about it briefly and felt that what Miss Yu Yue said made sense.
The Uchiha is certainly an extremely excellent bloodline, but as long as he hires the Uchiha, he can "use " this excellent bloodline.
Rounding it off, it's his.
By analogy, he can also use other excellent ninjas with bloodline limits.
Although it was just a casual reminder from Yu Yue.
But it opened a whole new door for Orochimaru and separated him from traditional ninja thinking.
Even though he is a ninja, that doesn't mean ninjas can't hire ninjas.
As long as he pays enough and has reasonable demands, he can hire other ninjas to do whatever he wants.
Because the pay was high, Minato Namikaze had to work for him.
So what’s the use of bloodline limit? It still means working for others.
So the key is to be able to make money or master core technologies that can be used.
Orochimaru, I understand.
And the first encounter took place in the jungle.
If the mission is just to protect their number plates from being taken away, then the ninjas can do whatever they want to hide until the end of the exam.
But they need at least 2 brands, so if you want to pass, you have to take risks.
The two people who collided with each other at this time were those who chose to seek wealth and fame at the risk of their lives - to take direct action.
Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, and Kekkei Genkai.
This time it's a showdown between real ninjas.
There are routines where people rely on their strength to defeat their opponents and get the number plate.
There are also those who, while waiting for the oriole to come out and clean up the mess after the two players have decided the winner, take the opportunity to rush out and clean up the mess.
Some people would simply go straight to the places where the number plates were buried and dig out the number plates hidden by others.
Some even specifically ambush people near the places where they bury the number plates, conduct fishing enforcement, and take advantage of people's relaxation because they have dug up the number plates to launch sneak attacks and achieve their goals directly.
The scene may not be as grand as before.
However, competition among similar people for their own goals and beliefs is the most likely project to stimulate people's excitement.
Soon, people were completely absorbed in watching the battles between ninjas.
More and more ninjas collided with each other, and more and more battles broke out.
The audience also divided into different camps and started cheering.
Everywhere there were spectators and supporters holding up cheering objects to support their people.
The ninjas on the field used all kinds of means.
The audience in the auditorium also cheered in various ways.
The model of the Ugetsu Shoten Cup Chunin Exam has been completely revitalized.
Ugetsu has taken a completely new path for both 'promotion' and 'Chunin Exam'.
The Sand Village reaped a huge harvest, and the other ninja villages were so envious that they were almost dying of envy.
I believe that no matter which ninja village hosts it in the future, they will not miss this opportunity.
Even the right to host the next Chunin Exam is a fierce battle.
But Yu Yue didn't care about this - after all, no matter who got the right to host the event, she, as the owner of Yu Yue Store and the real planner of the title event, would definitely have a ticket.
As for now.
She looked at the picture in the mirage technique.
The curly-haired boy in the picture took down a number plate from his opponent without much struggle.
After he put away the new number plate like a magician, he turned his head as if he had noticed something and smiled at the blank space.
——And that is exactly the point where the mirage technique captures the image.
Then everyone in the audience saw the boy's gentle and bright smile.
"…He's really nice."
"He's looking at me! This smile must be for me!"
"He's still laughing now, he must be sure of winning!"
The boy's smile towards the 'camera' became one of the most talked-about events in this Chunin Exam.
Many people are discussing whether the boy’s smile to the audience was intentional or just a coincidence?
If it was intentional, was he trying to show off his strength or was he trying to smile at someone?
All in all, the topic is quite popular.
As for the final result.
Of course, all members of Uchiha Shisui and his team successfully advanced.
From the moment the exam was over, they became true Chunins.
at last
Uchiha Shisui is the well-deserved first place in the scoring.
This is a result that both the leading ninjas and the examinees are very convinced of.
Yukito, who came in second, and Mei Terumi, who came in third, were also convinced.
Apart from anything else, during the second level, they and their teammates also received more or less help from him.
The subsequent award ceremony was just as Ugetsu and the Sand Village had discussed.
It was quite luxurious.
There is sufficient funding, sufficient manpower, and a large number of participants.
Of course we can do it on a grand scale.
There was even a special float for the parade.
In the past, which ninja from any ninja village would organize such a wasteful and useless vanity activity just because a Genin from their village was promoted to Chunin?
That would definitely lead to joint rebuke from other ninja villages.
It's just a promotion to Chunin, what's the big deal!
But looking at the tourists and spectators who were immersed in the ocean of joy.
And there is also the sales generated from this Chunin Exam.
The ninjas all chose to keep their mouths shut.
After all, with the sales of the Sand Village today and the glory of those newly minted Chunins, maybe it will be my turn next time?
Besides, the number one Uchiha Shisui is Miss Ugetsu's right-hand man.
Wouldn't it cause trouble for Miss Yu Yue if I raised objections at this time?
If they want to celebrate, then let them celebrate?
Besides, it’s not just Uchiha Shisui. The second, third place, and even other ninjas who passed the Chunin Exam also have floats.
It’s just that the people at the back are all on the same float, so it’s not as glorious as the first three.
But even so, it was an unexpected honor for them - after all, in the past, the Chunin Exam was a life-or-death situation, so being able to save one's life was a blessing in disguise.
How can I think so much?
As for the float used, it was of course made by the puppeteer of the Sand Village.
However, this time it was not Scorpion who made it. He only served as a technical consultant, responsible for some technical difficulties. The rest was the result of brainstorming by other puppeteers.
Scorpion found a lot of inspiration from the previous fortress and was preparing to go into seclusion to think about it carefully. How could he have the time to care about such trivial matters?
The puppeteers of Sand Village have also made this kind of vehicle in recent years, although they are a little nervous because it is their first time to be responsible for it.
Although he was a little anxious, he still handed in a very good answer sheet.
The floats are all sturdy and beautifully made.
"The chassis can also be transformed from wheels to a desert boat-like bottom mode - even if you want to take a turn in the surrounding desert."
They even thoughtfully prepared a double chassis.
It's really a role model for Party B.
Of course, when it comes to 'floats', there have to be flowers.
The flowers imported from the Kingdom of Flowers covered the area around the float, creating a beautiful landscape in the Sand Village, a place that has long lacked flowers and green plants.
So on the day of the award ceremony, the outer city of Sand Village was once again plunged into a sea of joy.
Whether it was the prize money won by the top three, the beautiful floats on tour and the petals falling from them - even the barbecue buffet that day, people still talk about it with relish long afterward.
For the ninjas who took part in the Chunin Exam, this was also an unforgettable experience.
Flowers, cheers, honor.
All these things that stimulate human achievement are gathered together.
Especially for those participants from small and medium-sized ninja villages, it was the most glorious moment in their lives.
Small ninja villages are not as rich in heritage as large ninja villages, and the tasks they can usually receive are also limited.
Most of them are insignificant and troublesome jobs.
They never had such a glorious moment.
At least that's the case for a few ninjas from the Kusagakure Village.
He is not a well-known owner of a bloodline limit, nor is he a genius with extraordinary gifts.
I never dreamed of such a day.
“I will never forget this day.”
The girl who leaned over to look at the street expressed the thoughts of everyone in the car.
Such a scene is something you will never get tired of no matter how you look at it or think about it.
I heard that all of this was prepared by Yuyue Store. They are so thoughtful. If I have the chance in the future, I must work for Yuyue Store once.
Many people thought secretly in their hearts.
Of course, there were also people who felt disappointed - after all, many candidates just missed out on all of this.
They were all failed students who failed to pass the Chunin Exam due to various reasons.
But loss is loss.
Their hearts were burning with passion.
next time.
They looked at their companions on the float.
Next time, that position must be
Own!
In the bustling crowd, a small white animal nimbly dodged from people's feet and finally came to the man wearing a hat.
"Oh, you are so naughty. Although you don't have to worry about danger now, you can't run around."
The man teased the little white creature that ran onto his shoulder.
Briefly break away from the revelry and look at the desert in the distance.
There used to be endless yellow sand there, but now it has become a "miracle oasis" that grew completely in one day.
Than being used by someone.
Maybe this is the best ending.
"Hey! Merchant!"
Someone waved and greeted from a distance.
"Right on!"
The man smiled and stopped thinking about those things.
The disappeared civilization, the right and wrong of the past... just let it pass quietly.
Just like that, after many years, the 'Ugetsuki Cup Chunin Exam', which was re-hosted by the Sand Village, came to an end.
But for many people, at least for many ninjas.
This is just the beginning.
"We must win the right to host the next Chunin Exam!"
Many actors issued such orders in their offices.
"yes!"
That’s right, with such generous rewards and fame, next time it will definitely be theirs!!
