On the boat, the candidates, who had eaten and drunk their fill and relaxed, let their guard down again.
So when they were told that they could take a bath on the boat, people unloaded all their equipment without any precautions - after all, they were told in advance that they could not bring anything in that might cause water pollution.
Everyone knows that the storage capacity of fresh water on board is limited.
Then the candidates were all dumbfounded.
I'm so stupid, really.
Faced with the situation that they had nothing but a set of thin clothes of the same style, the candidates began to reflect.
How could they forget that this was the Hidden Mist Village that kicked down the door when they were least prepared.
How is it possible to let them take it easy until the re-examination is announced?
Some candidates even turned their attention to the candidates from the Hidden Mist Village.
It seems to be asking, "Are you all in cahoots with each other?"
However, the examinees from the Hidden Mist Village were also in tears - they didn't know either.
If they had known, they wouldn't have been like the others, staring blankly in only thin clothes.
The candidates, who were already accustomed to being fully prepared, leaned against each other without any sense of security.
Weak, helpless, and pitiful.
Whoever stands up and announces the re-examination of the Chunin Exam at this time will definitely be held accountable, no matter who it is.
So after a fierce debate, this difficult task was given to Hoshigaki Kisame, who had just returned from a long journey.
"If it's Master Kisame, then there will be no problem."
"Yes, he is willing to kill . He can do it!"
Hoshigaki Kisame:?
I always feel that this is not a good thing to say.
“Don’t worry about the details.”
The Fourth Mizukage cleared his throat.
“All in all, this is very important work for the village.”
The Mizukage, who looked like a minor, looked at Hoshigaki Kisame seriously.
"...I'll leave the reading to you."
Although Hoshigaki Kisame was still confused and didn't understand what was going on, since the Mizukage had said this , naturally he had no right to refuse.
He immediately knelt on one knee and accepted the job.
Faced with his selfless dedication, the people of Kirigakure were moved.
.
——Lord Kisame, you can go without worry.
If you are put in a sack or knocked out with a club in the future, we will do everything we can to rescue and treat you!
So just when the candidates were in a daze on the boat, a shark... no, Hoshigaki Kisame appeared in front of everyone.
"I will now announce the contents of the retest of the Chunin Exam."
"The retest will also be conducted in teams. In fifteen minutes, different ships will come to pick you up and take you to the island."
Standing on the shark, Hoshigaki Kisame simply announced according to the contents of the small note he had received earlier.
"This exam is rigorous and candidates must use all their own props - except for their own hands, all props are provided by the 'supply pack' on the island."
"Supply packs are scattered all over the island, and candidates need to find them on their own."
"What?"
The candidates were suddenly filled with grief.
They had thought that the confiscation of their ninja tools might result in some restrictions.
But like this, none of them can be used, and you can only rely on picking them up...
What if you are unlucky and don’t meet anyone, then won’t you have to fight with bare hands?
"Although this retest is still conducted in a team mode, as long as one person in the team passes, the entire team will pass."
"On the contrary, if no one reaches the destination, all members will be deemed unqualified."
This new method of passing the exam naturally sparked discussions among the candidates again.
Compared to 'picking up all the props', this is obviously more important.
After all, this determines whether all of them pass the exam or fail.
The teams with exceptionally strong members all had happy expressions on their faces.
After all, if as long as one person passes, the whole team will be considered passed, and they will have an absolute advantage.
It is obviously easier to arm one person to the teeth than to arm three people.
I was worried because the levels of the people in the team were similar.
Because the three people's levels are almost the same, it is difficult for them to judge who would be better suited to this difficult task.
If they make the wrong decision, they will fail the Chunin Exam this time... Who can accept that?
Especially since they could have passed, but because of a mistake they were unable to deliver the supplies to the most critical person, which led to failure in the end because of the lack of one or two ninja tools.
...Just imagining it makes me feel so desperate that I feel suffocated.
Should I choose team battle or
Baoyi.
Before the exam even started, the candidates were stumped by this difficult decision.
Damn it, should I say that this is the Chunin Exam worthy of being held by the insidious and cunning Kirigakure?
It's already painful before it even starts.
Fifteen minutes later, several small boats came over on time.
The candidates climbed onto the small boat which looked suspicious no matter how they looked at it, in small groups.
The boat was empty except for a map in a prominent position.
I opened the map, but there was no indication of the location of the supply packs.
There was only a big 'X' in the center of the island, indicating their .
Although the candidates were full of questions, they could only take a small boat and sail towards the uninhabited island of their destination.
Outside the venue, the audience also calmed down and started a new round of watching with great interest.
“I’ve never heard of this model.”
There were audience members who had participated in the Chunin Exams of Sand Village and even earlier before Sand Village, who spoke with surprise.
"Hasn't it happened before?"
People from all around came here because of its reputation, but those who had never participated in the past came closer to take a look out of curiosity.
"In the past, people were always asked to bring their own ninja tools. This is the first time that we have to pick up all the ninja tools."
The audience member who spoke earlier had a look of anticipation on his face.
Restricting ninjas from bringing their own ninja tools and only using those provided in the arena...isn't that equivalent to asking the ninjas to give up the events they are best at?
If nothing else, this will at least greatly enhance the viewing experience.
There were no super-powerful ninja tools passed down from generation to generation, nor were there any specially customized tools for his own habits.
In this way, how far you can achieve depends entirely on your ability to improvise on the field... Isn't that interesting?
After listening to the explanation from the "knowledgeable" person, the people around him also unconsciously became excited.
Yes, it is true that you can show your strength by always using what you are good at, but it is more interesting to have a situation full of randomness.
Everything is unknown.
How to overcome weaknesses and discomforts to resolve the battle, isn't it more exciting than watching a ninjutsu solve everything?
After learning the inside story, the audience became even more excited.
Come on! Candidates!
——After drifting on the sea for a while, the candidates finally saw an island not far away.
Almost as soon as they saw the island, their boat
Water began to seep into the bottom of the boat.
No one needed to say anything, the candidates reacted immediately.
At this moment, it is time to start the exam and land on the island.
Of course, there is no one who can participate in the Chunin Exam who doesn't know "Oshinobi".
They left the boat one after another and rushed towards the island at full speed on the sea as if they were walking on flat ground.
Since all props have to be picked up, of course the earlier you get to the island, the better your chances.
With the same idea in mind, everyone rushed forward with all their might.
The distance was originally just enough to vaguely see the outline of the island, but they managed to finish the run in just a few minutes.
In addition, the candidates who arrived on the island also searched frantically.
What a beach with coconut trees between rocks.
Everything that normal people can think of and cannot imagine was searched by them like sweeping the floor.
It is said that there were actually three or two groups that found the supplement packs in corners.
"Found it! This must be it!"
"Wait, Kawasaki Textile..."
Another person in the team saw the words above and couldn't help but twitch his mouth.
"Are you sure this is a booster pack?"
"...That should be it. There's nothing else around here that looks like a man-made object."
The ninja who spoke earlier touched the furoshiki cloth bag with the words "Kawasaki Cloth" written on it.
"You know what, this fabric feels pretty good. It should be waterproof and I can use it later!"
Apart from anything else, it’s no problem to scoop up some water or something.
Now they are truly unarmed and penniless.
Anything that can be put to use should not be wasted!
This team was lucky. They extracted two kunai and a shuriken from the weapon. At least three of them could each have one for self-defense.
With the ninja tools in hand, I can’t say to what extent this most basic ninja tool can do, but the sense of security comes immediately.
The three were very optimistic:
"Okay, we already have the ninja tools, so we've already won at the starting line!"
“That’s right!”
"Charge! Victory will definitely belong to us!"
As for the other candidates, those who were luckier also picked up supply packs in various places.
But compared to the testing period, these supply packs seem much more fancy.
In addition to the few
In addition to the name of the fabric merchant, there were also more items in the supply bag.
“We have Dorayaki!”
"There's even cup noodles? This is the newest product!"
That's right, there are just a few "little gifts" added in that won't affect the battle.
As for why these...
"Although I am the title sponsor, other investors should also be given equal advertising opportunities."
Yu Yue said this with a righteous look on her face, appearing to be very fair and just.
“Is that so?”
The ninja from the Hidden Mist Village who came to inquire about this action that was not in the plan were confused.
"Of course it is."
Kakuzu also stood up.
As the financial manager of the Ugetsu Store who is responsible for the Wave Country and Water Country projects, he is definitely involved in making money.
"We at Yuyue Store have always believed in 'harmony brings wealth'. If there is a chance to make money together, of course we have to give other stores a chance."
Ninja from the Hidden Mist Village: “…”
To be honest, he believed other words, but hearing the words "harmony brings wealth" spoken by that "Kakuzu"... wouldn't you feel ashamed?
You are obviously a well-known gangster.
There's something wrong with you saying this.
"Anyway, this is free... I mean, the shop owners are giving you money with sincerity, so you can make some money or not."
Of course you still have to make money.
Who doesn’t like making money?
The ninjas from the Hidden Mist Village returned in a daze.
But what Yu Yue said was hypocritical, of course, was actually...
“They gave too much.”
Ugetsu shook her head.
She had not originally planned to use so many advertising spaces, but there was no reason to push away the money that was offered to her.
Besides, these people are really willing to give money.
Without Yu Yue raising the price proactively, they all offered tempting high prices right from the start - for a time Yu Yue wondered if all the money in this world came from the wind.
That's why people are so generous.
Oh, if only the investors and advertisers in my previous life could be so easily fooled.
It’s not that I’m careless... No, it’s not that I can’t get investment and advertising fees at suitable prices, but racking my brains to write plans and negotiate cooperation is definitely not as good as sitting back and collecting the money like this.
Well, I’ve strayed off topic.
Since they are so sincere in coming to us for cooperation.
Then they wouldn't want to disappoint others.
Of course, Ugetsu doesn't just accept everyone who comes - after all, the Chunin Exam IP is still very valuable.
Since it is valuable, it must have style and not be too common.
Therefore, she only selected some manufacturers that were relevant to the competition and would not affect the results of the competition for implantation.
Yu Yue was very satisfied, and those who spent money on advertising were also satisfied.
Only the Hidden Mist Village was restless.
This is the commission fee for an S-level mission, but in the end I can only make small items in baggage and supply bags?
There wasn't even a billboard slogan.
Although since Miss Yu Yue is the one who is doing the connection, they only get a share of the profits...
But for them, this result is just like taking an S-level mission and then slacking off.
This made the Hidden Mist Village very uneasy, and they even felt that the money was too hot to handle.
Until the rematch began, they were trying to come up with some remedies.
So as to avoid angering the financial backers who spent the money.
While this method of skin implantation may seem perfunctory in modern society, it is a very novel and sincere model in a world where advertising is still limited to billboards and flyers.
In addition, it is placed on the "supply package", which gives people the joy of "opening a blind box".
So the audience was not only not disgusted by it, but they were also looking forward to it - looking forward to seeing what would come out of the next supply pack.
Can it help the poor candidates improve their quality of life a little bit?
——For example, having instant noodles to eat is definitely better than having to hunt or eat wild fruits.
At least they could still have some hot soup.
In this cold and humid environment, a cup of hot soup is already a treat.
"That wrapping cloth looks really waterproof."
"Look, they can actually use the cloth to fetch water!"
If we use this cloth next time we go out, can we also use it to fetch water temporarily?
Some people simply tie two or three pieces of cloth together to use as a rope.
Coupled with the ninjas' superior physical strength and athletic ability, and using the kunai as a fixed point, they can wander freely in the bushes.
That’s definitely live streaming sales.
Regardless of whether ordinary people can use it this way.
Anyway, they saw the excellent load-bearing capacity of this cloth.
I'm very excited.
"That dorayaki looks delicious, too."
While others were still fishing in the water or picking fruits on the trees, the happy expressions on the faces of the three members of the team who gathered together to share Dorayaki were really heart-warming.
"What brand was it? Do you remember it?"
"It seems to be... what?"
"No matter what, I'll go back and ask. Since I can see it here, I can definitely ask."
Looking at the audience's heated discussions, those factory and store owners who were not selected were beating their chests and stamping their feet, regretting that they had not come earlier.
If only they had come earlier and spent more money.
Then maybe we can catch up with the 'mission target' of the preliminary round if we work hard.
Unfortunately, there is no medicine for regret in the world, and they can only wait for the next time with tears in their eyes.
Next time, next time I must be the first one to come.
And we must give a price that will make the Ninja Village and the Ugetsu Store excited.
Ninja from the Hidden Mist Village: “…”
You've already scared us this time, and you want to give us more next time?
Then we might really need to have a medical ninja by our side to feel at ease.
Thousands of words flashed through the mind of the Mist Village ninja, but his face remained expressionless.
——As a ninja, you always have to maintain your composure on the surface.
At least keep calm in front of employers.
Otherwise, if you panic at the slightest sign of trouble, how will your employer view you?
His superficial efforts really work.
Seeing how calm and composed the ninja from the Hidden Mist Village were, the bosses who didn’t get advertising spots were also impressed in their hearts.
As expected of a ninja who has seen many storms, he is steady.
This kind of concentration is worth learning.
The praised Mist Village ninja: "..."
Actually, I was really panicked.
Of course, Yuyue Store's way of making money made many people jealous.
Why can she get several returns for every dollar she pays (referring to the sponsorship)?
This is both a support product, an ocean park, and a product placement.
It's really a huge profit.
Even robbing money is not as fast as her making money.
But no matter how jealous they are or how they can't sleep at night and chew the corners of the quilt, they can't copy her.
A way to make money.
After all, if you want the same thing, you first have to have a big event on the same level as the Chunin Exams that can attract tourists and attention from all over the world.
——This alone is enough to stump 99% of people.
For the remaining 1%, even if they can organize such a big event, someone has to buy it.
This acceptance is not only aimed at customers, but also at bosses who are willing to spend money on advertising.
Only if they recognize and believe that advertising here is profitable will they invest money in it.
In addition, the roads, safety, etc. must be guaranteed. Only in this way can so many people actually participate in the activities like the Ugetsu store.
To be honest, the reason why so many people recognize and participate in the activities of Yuyue Store is that "safety" and "convenience" account for at least 30% of the reasons.
At this point, the last 1% may only be left with 0.01%.
At this time, even if they can guarantee everything, they have to consider whether it is cost-effective for them to invest so much.
After all, if you only do it once, it would be a huge loss.
But if it continues like the Ugetsu Shop and the Chunin Exams.
Then they have to find a way to continue.
You know, when it comes to events, it’s not difficult to stand out at once.
But if you want to continue to excel and excel every time, that is almost an impossible task.
——Anyway, it’s unlikely to be replicated until they find a way.
I can only envy, hate and then wake up at three in the morning and sigh.
Of course, the candidates on the uninhabited island don’t know all of this.
They are still working diligently to collect materials and find supply packages.
There was no other way. With five, six, seven or eight ninja tools on each of them, they were really uneasy and didn't know how to deal with it.
Think about it, you encounter a python and dodge its fatal blow with a flash. But when you turn over and prepare to deal with the snake that dares to attack the ninja, your hand that is putting on the ninja tools touches nothing, or only takes out a smoke talisman... Who understands the pain of this?
What's even more terrifying is that in just a blink of an eye, the python may come back and give you a warm "hug".
If I had reacted a little slower, I would have broken a rib or two.
This is not to say that the candidates are weak.
However, the habits that I have developed since I started learning are not so easy to change.
So people
We once again saw the candidates looking dirty and dusty.
At this time, they suddenly understood why there were only the most basic ninja tools and books on the ship.
This is to give them a vaccination in advance.
But now that I think about it, it's too late.
Of course, there were some amazing performances.
Although it is difficult to change habits by force, in the face of absolute strength, these are just minor troubles - at least when fighting against an enemy that is several times stronger than you, it is still enough to deal with it.
If you don't have enough ninja tools, just make your own - after all, there's nothing saying you can't make them yourself with wood or broken stones.
There are even people who know enough about plants to find poisonous plants and start to "poison" them.
There are also people who are good at physical skills, and they just fight for their place with their bare hands.
If there is a tree blocking the road, kick it down.
If there is a huge rock in front of you, split it in half.
There are no restrictions anyway, so just come on.
——Of course, traditional practices are certainly indispensable.
And the so-called 'tradition' is, of course...
If you don’t have it, just steal it from others.
Isn't it natural that the strong occupy more resources?
It's really like a ninja.
But the party that was robbed was not a good person either.
We are all candidates, who can willingly admit defeat?
Besides, we have something in our hands.
It is still uncertain who will rob whom at that time.
As more people think this way, there are naturally more fights.
By the time thick fog covered the island, about seven or eight teams had fought each other.
Each party had gains and losses, but fortunately, people were restrained at the beginning - even if they took action, most of them were prepared to keep a little "spark" for themselves in advance.
——That is to say, each time one person is left at the rear for easy evacuation.
Be ready to escape at any time.
Running away during war is of course a disgraceful act.
But in this Chunin Exam where 'as long as one person passes, the whole team can pass', this is called 'flexibility' and is a reasonable interpretation of the rules.
Not only is it not shameful, it should be praised.
This is the flexibility that a candidate taking the Chunin Exam should have!
Facing the wonderfully proud candidates, the expressions of the ninja leaders from each village were not so wonderful.
.
We sent you to participate in the Chunin Exam because we believe in your abilities, and we want you to show the audience the strong, resolute and unyielding side of our Ninja Village. And this is what you gave me?
Run! Keep running!
There is only one person chasing you! There are two of you! If you turn around and make a move, the head and the ninja tool will be yours!
And you!
There are three people in front of me! Three!
How do you usually take lurking classes? You can't even find such an obvious position?
Keep going, keep going forward, are you going to be someone's snack?
I'm so angry!
Those who are watching the ninjas from a 'God's perspective' like the audience will be heartbroken.
Many of them had a look on their faces that said, "I'll settle the score with those bastards when they come back."
From the fact that Yu Yue could roughly understand it without Uchiha Shisui's interpretation, we can see how obvious their performance is.
However, the candidates' "flexibility" is a good thing for Yu Yue.
After all, the game of Chicken Dinner is fun because of all kinds of coping methods and unexpected tricks.
Yu Yue was satisfied and the audience enjoyed watching the show.
In fact, we are all very qualified audiences.
Normally we don’t laugh unless we can’t hold it in… haha.
Another candidate was seen habitually taking out the ninja tools but came up empty-handed, and then fell headfirst into the pit. The audience couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Although the fog obstructed the candidates' vision, the 'mirage technique', which had undergone many improvements and designs, could clearly show the actions of the individual teams to the audience.
Although the thick fog around us couldn't be solved, it was enough to see the candidates' actions.
Soon, people saw another way of fighting in the thick fog developed by the candidates.
That is...
'Frame-up' and 'shifting blame'. !
