Orochimaru's brief appearance did not seem to have much impact on the Chunin Examinations jointly organized by Konoha and Sunagakure.

Except for a team of genin from Kusakure Village who suffered a disaster and died, the appearance of that guy did not cause the death of other contestants.

After the Kusakure Village heard that the perpetrator was Orochimaru, whom the entire ninja world shared, they unexpectedly remained silent and did not continue to speak out.

It just left the matter entirely to Konoha.

Because the leader of this force clearly understands that if he keeps making trouble on this matter and takes the lead, there is no guarantee that the dangerous person will take the initiative to visit him.

By then, the situation for your own family will not be good.

After all, it is rumored that that guy has the terrifying power to destroy a small country in one night!

Therefore, if a genin team is lost, it is lost, and no greater losses can be caused.

As for Uchiha Sasuke, who was planted with a cursed seal by Orochimaru, he was also taken away by Kakashi Hatake immediately after the assessment. He had no direct guardian, and naturally no relevant personnel spoke out for him.

The discussion within Konoha on this matter also changed the topic with the end of the second assessment, becoming who will be the final winner.

Everything seems to have returned to calm and is on track.

However, only the players in this game clearly know that the current peace is only on the surface, and there is a greater danger brewing!

In the end, there were twelve participating genin who entered the third chuunin examination.

One of them is a ninja from the Sound Ninja Village, and he is also the only ninja who was promoted as a small country in this joint chuunin exam.

There are three people in Sand Hidden Village, and interestingly, their identities are all the descendants of the fourth generation Kazekage.

The last eight ninjas are all from Konoha.

Such an overwhelming number of promoted people filled the hearts of Konoha's ninjas and civilians with pride and pride.

However, this does not mean that Konoha has firmly secured the final victory.

Since the last assessment is a lottery-type individual battle, even if four ninjas from other ninja villages face contestants from Konoha, there will still be four Konoha genin who will "crash" and fall into

into internal strife.

Of course, the final order and list of battles have also been flown to various countries and forces by the well-trained Ninja Eagles.

Next is a month of preparation time.

Not only to allow the contestants who have gone through five days and five trainings to have a rest, buffer, and time to analyze the opponent's ability and designate the final combat method, but also to give the powerful and wealthy businessmen and ninja leaders who are about to come to Konoha to watch the ceremony.

The time it takes for our trip.

The much-anticipated draw result is divided into three small battle zones A, B, and C. Each small battle zone has a total of four competitions.

The schedule is a single-win promotion system. The winning players will enter the next competition in the small battle area, and the selected winner will enter the final competition through another draw.

The battle list is:

Area A,

Game 1: Izumi Uchiha VS Hyuga Neji;

Game 2: Kurama Yakumo VS Temari;

Area B,

Game 3: Uchiha Ara VS Uzumaki Naruto;

Game 4: Uchiha Sasuke VS Gaara;

Area C,

Game 5: A female Shino VS Kankuro;

Game 6: Nara Shikamaru VS Toss Anvil.

In addition to this battle list being widely circulated in Konoha City, another piece of gossip about the trial was also spread.

It is said that the Uchiha Ara team who successfully advanced to the third trial did not participate in the second assessment in a real sense at all. Instead, they used some special means to make the Sandaime Hokage compromise, and then passed directly.

This trial.

The origin of this message seemed to come from a contestant from Sunagakure Village. He had protested in public against such unfair behavior at the beginning of the trial, but it was in vain and he could only let go of the harsh words he said in the finals.

The ninja from Sunagakure Village is called Gaara. He is the strongest young generation in that ninja village, and his team is also the first team to pass the second assessment.

The clearance time was far ahead of other contestants at that time.

Such news immediately aroused the indignation and shame of some uninformed people within Konoha Village.

And it ruined most of their good mood because most of their own ninjas advanced to the finals.

After all, such a shameless act through the back door, how should the spectators from other forces view them?

As a ninja, you should win the place in the competition with dignity, instead of being afraid of failure or embarrassment, and just use such a small trick to go through the back door!!

As time goes by, this kind of public opinion becomes more and more fierce. Not only Uchiha Ara, who is deeply involved in the whirlpool of public opinion, but also Uchiha Izumi and Kurama Yakumo who are in the same team with him have also received a certain amount of discussion.

And amid the raging discussions, no official official from Konoha gave an explanation for this, as if they were completely letting it go.

As for the secrets about the Sandaime Hokage's past that also occurred during the second trial, not a single bit of information was leaked.

"Gaara, look and listen, these are all good things caused by your disobedience of orders!"

Listening to the rumors coming from the outside world, Ma Ji, who was the talker of this incident in Sunagakure Village, was very angry.

Because he was worried that such a negative public opinion and the unruly provocation of his own gangster that day would make that person dissatisfied.

And use this to lower the image of Sand Hidden Village in the other party's mind.

Of course, this is just speculation.

After all, his show of kindness that day was obvious enough, and being able to sit as the leader of a clan must have his own judgment ability.

"Oh, in the final game, I will kill his people first."

"Then, kill him again."

Gaara didn't pay attention to this scolding at all, and the posture with his hands folded around his chest showed him to go his own way.

Hearing this, not only the expression on Maki's face suddenly changed, but even Kankuro and Temari on the side could not ignore such a declaration.

Because this is something that is entirely possible to implement!

The rules of this final assessment are very simple, it is a pure promotion match divided into groups.

The third and fourth games were divided into the same group.

To put it bluntly, in the third competition, whether Uchiha Ara wins or Uzumaki Naruto wins, Gaara must be given priority in the end before he can continue to enter the finals.

As for Uchiha Sasuke in the fourth game,

Although in the second assessment, that guy also showed enough amazing strength, but it was still not enough in front of Gaara's true strength!

In the promotion round, the Konoha ninja who wore dark green tights, had thick eyebrows, and was extremely good at physical skills ended up being the best proof!

"shut up!"

"At this most critical moment for the future of the village, please stop indulging your willfulness, Gaara!!"

Listening to the rebellious words of the core weapon in this operation, Ma Ji had to assume the posture of a leading teacher.

There was clear anger and majesty in Yu Zhi's eyes.

"This action is related to the future of tens of thousands of Sunagakure ninjas. We cannot let it be ruined in your hands just because of your willfulness."

"So, give me the order well."

"It doesn't matter how you kill Uchiha Sasuke, but you can't move Uchiha Ara. Even if he really can't defeat you, you must choose to admit defeat at the critical moment and release the goodwill that belongs to Sunagakure Village."

"Understand!"

Feeling that the atmosphere suddenly became quieter, he lowered his voice and yelled, his old-fashioned face showing unprecedented solemnity and seriousness.

Now that things have reached this point, the arrow has to be fired.

Moreover, the so-called random drawing turned into such a battle list because the Sandaime Hokage had obviously done some ulterior tricks!

The old fox thought that in the end, Uchiha Ara, whether it was Uchiha Sasuke against him or Gaara who had already issued a challenge, would not be able to advance to the final championship intact.

As for the somewhat silly Uzumaki Naruto, it was no longer within the scope of Maji's consideration.

In fact, it's not just the people in Area B who have problems, but Area A as well.

Uchiha Ara's two companions were also placed in the same area by coincidence, and the players they were competing against were also highly potential geniuses from the Hyuga clan, as well as Temari from this village.

They are all strong opponents, and they seem to be unwilling to allow this team to perform well in the finals, or to stand out from the crowd.

Coupled with the uproar of public opinion at this moment,

If this team really encounters Waterloo in the finals, then it will directly confirm the saying of "going through the back door" and their reputation will be greatly reduced!

On the other hand, the battlefield in Area C is filled with little-known little guys.

That old fox is indeed a master of tricks!

"Teacher, what happened?"

Temari's face was filled with confusion.
