This was about showing strength, demonstrating the village's power, not about holding back.
Besides, Yan's meaning was clear: if you get the chance, eliminate them.
I don't want to see so many people pass the exam!
Of course, if none of them show up, that would be even better.
Since Kumogakure Village is so stubborn, let's show them that Konohagakure is not so weak that anyone can step on us.
Hostile, huh?
Then you can all get lost.
"....."
Is it really that exaggerated?
Kakashi didn't know what to say.
But Yan is the leader, and his words are orders.
But is it really appropriate to kick out all the teammates in front of countless spectators?
Won't it anger the other villages?
"I'll do my best."
Kakashi didn't dare to promise too much; he didn't have Shisui's confidence.
But he could probably eliminate some people.
However, if he had to easily eliminate everyone he met, his strength might not be enough.
"Just do your best."
Yan didn't expect much from Kakashi. With his strength and balanced attributes, he could probably have a back-and-forth fight with anyone he met.
Yan relied only on himself and Shisui; Kakashi just needed to watch.
"The assessment is about to begin. Please come forward to draw numbers, everyone must draw."
Kumogakure Village had made a lot of preparations for this assessment, and the content was quite new.
According to tradition, the second round of the assessment should be related to gathering information and fighting.
But Kumogakure Village came up with something different.
After the examiner announced the rules, the people from the five great ninja villages lined up to draw numbers.
Fortunately, everyone was restrained and didn't compete for the order of drawing numbers.
Even so, the tension was high.
Because once they entered the arena, they would be competitors, even if the people from Sunagakure Village, Iwagakure Village, and Kumogakure Village were hostile to Konohagakure.
When they met, they would fight and even eliminate each other first.
Soon it was Konohagakure's turn to draw numbers.
Yan opened the slip of paper he drew: number one.
Shisui got number two, and Kakashi got number three.
So they were going to scatter the people from the five villages into three different areas, gather information, and find their teammates?
Yan understood Kumogakure Village's intention.
After everyone drew their numbers, the examiner said loudly:
"In the valley below, we have placed some information scrolls. You need to enter from the corresponding entrance and gather these scrolls. Each village needs to collect the corresponding number one, two, and three scrolls to pass the assessment."
"Now, those who drew number one, follow me."
After giving Shisui and Kakashi a look, Yan followed the examiner, along with the other ninjas who drew number one from other villages.
Baki, Mabui, Terumi Mei, and a random ninja from Iwagakure Village, along with Yan, were assigned to area one.
"What a coincidence."
Yan glanced at Terumi Mei, who was not far from him.
At this time, Terumi Mei didn't have the aura of a strong leader yet.
"It is quite a coincidence, but no date."
Terumi Mei playfully wagged her finger.
"Hahaha..."
Yan didn't expect Terumi Mei to be so playful when she was young and couldn't help but laugh.
The others watched Yan and Terumi Mei talk with cold eyes.
A hint of caution flashed in their eyes.
They were worried that Yan and Terumi Mei might team up because of their private relationship.
Noticing everyone's reaction, Terumi Mei reminded Yan:
"Everyone seems to be hostile towards your Konohagakure. Do you want to cooperate?"
"It doesn't matter."
Yan didn't care about these small details. Whether these people were hostile towards Konohagakure or not wouldn't change their fate:
"As for cooperation, maybe next time."
If they were going to play, they should play big.
Yan had no intention of cooperating with Kirigakure Village. Konohagakure could handle all competitors on its own, including Kirigakure Village.
"....."
As if this exam would be held many times, Terumi Mei rolled her eyes at Yan and decisively distanced herself from him.
Soon, under the guidance of the examiner, the five of them arrived at Entrance No. 1.
In the arena far from the exam site, a large number of spectators poured in, filling the seats.
Everyone looked up at the big screen hanging in the air. On the high platform of the arena, there were five chairs, where the representatives of the five great ninja villages sat.
Unfortunately, one of the chairs was empty.
After Utatane Koharu's death, Yan became the village's representative.
But since he was also a participant, the chair remained empty.
Raikage sat in the middle chair, casually looking at the screen.
The representatives of each village sat quietly in their chairs, staring at the screen, without speaking.
The time had come.
At the three entrances, the participating ninjas from each village entered the exam site one by one.
At Entrance No. 1, Yan was the last to enter. After entering, Yan didn't rush to catch up with others.
He walked slowly towards Area No. 2.
To pass this exam, they needed to collect Scrolls No. 1, 2, and 3 and reach the exit of the blank area to be considered qualified.
Instead of chasing others from the start, Yan preferred to give a fatal blow at the critical moment.
First, give others some hope, and then crush it.
As for whether this would offend people, Yan didn't care.
Of course, if someone offered their scrolls, Yan would gladly accept their kindness.
"A fight has broken out!!"
"In Area No. 2, it's Konohagakure's Uchiha Shisui and Iwagakure Village's Tsuchiyantong."
"They're really fighting!!"
No one expected that a fight would break out as soon as they entered the arena. Many spectators exclaimed and stared at the big screen.
"It seems your village's ninja is very confident. It's said that Konohagakure's Uchiha Shisui is a genius who made a name for himself in the Third Ninja World War."
Raikage's gaze turned to the representative of Iwagakure Village, and the representatives of Kirigakure Village and Sunagakure Village also looked over.
Raikage was stirring the pot, but the representative of Iwagakure Village proudly said:
"Uchiha Shisui is a genius of Konohagakure, and Tsuchiyantong is also a strong ninja of our village. I believe he..."
"That's impossible!!!"
Before the representative of Iwagakure Village could finish praising their ninja, they stood up in shock.
Staring wide-eyed at the big screen.
