"You actually still have this golden bell with you? It seems like you really like this thing?"
Itachi noticed that there was a string of bells tied to Aoba's left wrist and said with some surprise.
Aoba smiled and said, "Consider it a memento." Then, he changed the topic.
If the husky maiden saw this string of golden bells in his hand, she would definitely find it very strange.
Because the golden bell for the second exam had always been in her hands, and she had treated it as a memorial. Although they were all golden, they looked completely different.
After chatting for a while, the audience entered the venue.
14 examinees who had successfully broken through the joint Chunin Exam also appeared below.
It was unknown if it was because they were a little nervous, or if it was because the trauma they had experienced before had not yet healed, but in short, they all looked a little stiff.
"It can't be that he really got played badly, right?" Aoba touched his chin with some uncertainty.
Then, the examiner for the third match made him and Itachi stunned at the same time.
"Gekko Hayate?!"
That's right, the examiner for the third round was none other than Gekko Hayate who had gone to Anbu!
It was just that today, he was not taking the stage with the members of Anbu, but with his original appearance and the identity of Jonin to preside over the third examination.
Aoba and could not help but look at each other, revealing the same smile.
Unexpectedly, after the disbandment of Team 3, the three of them not only walked their own paths, but also all advanced to Jonin and in this form of 'gathering', became examiners for the first, second, and third round of the Chunin Exam.
This scene was really interesting, even a moment that was worthy of being recorded.
Who would have thought that the three youths of the Team 3 would be able to grow to such a height?
He believed that after today, there would be another beautiful story about the three of them and Team 3.
This kind of arrangement could not be described as a coincidence. Aoba and Itachi immediately looked behind.
The only ones qualified to sit on the highest platform were the Hokage and Kazekage.
Soon, Hayate loudly announced the rules of the third examination. It was very simple, and there were not so many twists and turns and hidden rules.
It was that every person touched a number in the box, and cheating was prohibited during the period. Once the chakra fluctuation was found, the qualification was immediately cancelled.
Then No. 1 and No. 2 confronted each other, and No. 3 and No. 4 confronted each other, and so on.
The winner advanced, and the candidate was selected again until the final winner was decided.
But winning did not mean that he could advance to Chunin, and losing did not mean that there was no chance.
The ten invigilators led by Hayate would give a comprehensive evaluation of the two sides of each duel, and only those with high scores could successfully advance to Chunin.
The rest of them naturally failed to advance!
In public, Konoha would only operate in secret unless they were crazy, so there was no objection to this rule.
Of course, even if there was something dissatisfied, no one would mention it at this time.
To put it bluntly, if it was in normal times, which big shot in the village would take a second look?
If not for the fact that this joint Chunin Exam had a different meaning, they would not have been valued by so many people.
Therefore, in the third exam that was about to begin, victory or defeat was not the most important thing. As long as they could show their own style and not embarrass the Ninja Village they were in, it was enough.
In any case, even if they failed to advance, they would still be able to participate in the Chunin Exam of their own village and become Chunin.
Therefore, the representatives sent by each village were very calm at this time.
"The first matchup, Konoha Shinobi Nanako Hoshino vs. Kirigakure Shinobi Ito Ito Yuga!"
"Both sides, please enter the arena and make your preparations."
"Battle, begin!"
Aoba was a bit surprised that the simple-minded husky maiden had actually drawn number 1 and entered the arena one by one.
What made him even more shocked was that the entire audience was still laughing at the end.
The husky girl seemed to be a little nervous. She did not even move at the beginning of the battle and directly began to form seals. Moreover, the speed of forming seals was not fast. Wasn't this giving the opponent a chance to attack first?
Sure enough, when the other party saw this, he immediately took out his sword and threw it far away. At the same time, he pulled out Kunai and quickly approached.
"I don't have any combat experience. Come and hit me."
Seeing that many people began to shake their heads, they thought the outcome was already decided.
However, what happened next was unexpected. When the husky maiden saw the sword flying towards her, she was so scared that she closed her eyes and forgot to dodge.
However, the hand seals did not stop. Instead, she increased her speed.
The referee on the side hesitated to stop the battle. However, if she lost so badly in the first match, Konoha would definitely lose face. However, he could not ignore his duty and watch as the girl was stabbed into a hedgehog.
However, at this moment, the husky maiden seemed to have completed the hand seals and screamed at the critical moment.
"Earth Release: Hardening Technique!"
..
The sword in the hand that Ito threw out was very accurate, and all of them hit their targets, but all of them, who had shocked their jaws, were bounced off
The ninjas who saw the trick clearly had surprised expressions on their faces.
What they were surprised about was not that the sword in their hands had been deflected, but that the girl was actually using the Earth Release: Hardening Technique that was very difficult to master
The Earth Release: Hardening Technique was to harden one's body to the point that it was comparable to a rock in order to defend and reduce the damage caused by physical attacks.
The girl suddenly turning black and hard was already very speechless, but what made them even more confused was why she had used the Hardening Technique right from the start?
When the battle started, she did not attack her opponents. Why the hell was the first thing she do is strengthen her defense?
Or could it be that she had already expected or used hand seals to lure the other party closer to her?
The previous nervousness was all faked. In fact, she was still a physical arts expert?
This was too scheming.
Then, everyone saw Nanako quietly open one of her eyes. They immediately saw a sharp Kunai standing in front of her, staring at her opponent with fear.
Obviously, Yuga also began to suspect that all of this was a trap to lure him into the trap!
However..
"Ah!"
After letting out a scream, the husky maiden immediately turned around and ran. She was obviously frightened!
The people who had made the judgment earlier all revealed black lines on their faces. God damn physical skills experts, they were all fucking rookies!
How did this kind of person pass the second test that was comparable to hell?
Many of the examinees who were watching the battle revealed black question marks in their faces from the loud laughter.
