On August 5th, the Chunin Exams officially began.
The third exam of the Chunin Exam was held in a huge circular venue.
There is a huge open space in the middle of the venue. It is very large and has small trees and a pond with a small amount of water. All candidates will fight here.
In addition to the battle area for the examinees, there is a staircase-shaped auditorium, which houses many noble officials, wealthy clients, local residents of Konoha, and ninjas.
The Third Hokage did not sit in the ordinary audience seats. He had his own special seats, which were one level higher than the audience seats.
"There are so many audiences." Nohara Lin exclaimed as she looked at the sea of people in the auditorium.
Before this, the most lively event Nohara Lin had ever attended was a festival, but there weren't so many people there.
"Don't be nervous, Lin. Just use your best strength and you will definitely win." Obito thought that Nohara Lin was worried that it would be embarrassing to lose with so many people, so he comforted her.
Nohara Lin covered her mouth and chuckled, "Obito, you underestimate me. I won't be nervous just because there are spectators."
Nohara Lin is not a shy and timid girl. She may worry about the outcome because of the strength of her opponent, but she will not be nervous because someone is watching her.
"Hehe, that's good." Obito scratched his head and laughed.
Obito didn't care about the audience anymore. The more people there were, the more excited he was. This was a good opportunity to become famous in Konoha.
"Hurry up, it's almost time." Kakashi reminded.
Obito and Nohara Rin both nodded, and the three of them quickened their pace and walked through the passage specially prepared for the candidates into the center of the venue, which was also the candidates' battle area.
The three arrived neither too early nor too late. Three minutes after they arrived, all sixteen candidates were present.
Seeing all the candidates present, some spectators cheered, as if they were looking forward to the upcoming battle.
"Did you hear that? The audience's calls are all for you. You are the protagonists today." Beiliuhu said with a smile.
Hearing Hiruzen's words, Obito's heart was filled with excitement. If he could get first place under the attention of everyone, this would be his first step towards becoming Hokage.
Might Guy had a confident smile on his face and gave a thumbs up to a green figure who was jumping excitedly in the audience.
Mei Terumi clenched her fists. If she could get first place, she would be valued by the Master and the Mizukage, and her path to becoming the Mizukage would become clear.
Zabuza looked at Kakashi, who was only a few steps away from him, with a complicated expression. If he won, his second round opponent would be Kakashi.
Zabuza didn't know how to fight to win, and the opponent even killed his guiding jonin.
"The rules of the third exam are very simple. Just like the preliminaries, you win if you beat your opponent until he is unable to fight or surrenders." Beiluhu continued.
"If you have no doubts, except for Candidate No. 1 and Candidate No. 2 who are staying to prepare for the battle, the other candidates please return to the lounge and wait for notification."
The battle in the venue can also be seen from the lounge, so it does not affect the candidates' collection of information.
The rules were so simple that naturally no candidate asked any more questions. They all walked into the candidate passage in groups and headed for the lounge, leaving only No. 1 Hoshigaki Kisame and No. 2 Yamashiro Aoba.
Hoshigaki Kisame stood there expressionlessly. In this exam, there were only two people he cared about, Might Guy and Hatake Kakashi. He felt that he had no problem with the other exams.
Compared to the indifferent Hoshigaki Kisame, Yamashiro Aoba was not so calm. He looked at Hoshigaki Kisame with an expression as if he was facing a great enemy.
He had seen Hoshigaki Kisame's performance in the preliminary round, and he was considered to be the strongest among the candidates.
Hiru told the two to stand at the designated position, and then after waiting for about a minute, he shouted loudly:
"The first match, Hoshigaki Kisame vs. Yamashiro Aoba, the battle begins!"
The loudspeaker system allowed Beiliuhu's voice to be carried throughout the venue, and the spectators who were chatting turned their attention to the battle field.
"This Hoshigaki Kisame is a ninja from the Hidden Mist Village. Although it is one of the five major ninja villages, we rarely hear about the Hidden Mist Village." said an audience member dressed in official uniform.
"After all, the Hidden Mist Village is in the Land of Water, so it would be more troublesome to come to the mainland..." said another official.
"But there are still differences among the five major ninja villages. The ninjas of our Fire Country should be stronger."
The officials nearby nodded in agreement. This was not only because Konoha was the ninja village of the Land of Fire, but also because of Konoha's strong record of winning battles over and over again.
Although the audience has confidence in Yamashiro Aoba, this cannot eliminate the gap between Yamashiro Aoba and Hoshigaki Kisame.
The moment Obito shouted "start", Yamashiro Aoba immediately stepped back and used ninjutsu to summon a large number of crows.
Wow—wow—
The crow's crude and hoarse cry instantly spread throughout the venue.
A large number of crows circled around Yamashiro Aoba, interfering with Hoshigaki Kisame's vision and hearing.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!
Yamashiro Aoba immediately swung out several shurikens and attacked Hoshigaki Kisame.
Kisame chopped the shuriken off with a casual slash of the long sword, then he stuck the sword into the ground and quickly formed seals with his hands.
"Water Style: Exploding Water Wave!"
Kisame gathered a large amount of chakra and then changed the nature of the water-attributed chakra, spitting out a huge amount of water flowing towards Yamashiro Aoba.
Yamashiro Aoba frowned and retreated quickly, and ordered the crow to fly higher.
The amount of water created by Kisame was so huge that soon the entire battlefield was turned into a large pond by Kisame's water jutsu. Yamashiro Aoba avoided the impact of the water flow but was forced to stand on the water and fight against the attacking Kisame.
Bang bang! !
The two sides fought for a while, and even with the crows interfering, Yamashiro Aoba was beaten back step by step.
This restricted area battle is too disadvantageous for Yamashiro Aoba. Kisame can dive into the water at any time to avoid the attacks of crows, but Yamashiro Aoba has no good way to effectively attack Kisame.
"What a bad fortune." Yamashiro Aoba felt helpless. It just so happened that he was practicing Fire Essence, which was restrained by Kisame's Water Essence.
"He's quite capable, not weak." After a few rounds of fighting, Kisame found that Yamashiro Aoba was much stronger than he expected.
Although there is nothing outstanding about him, Yamashiro Aoba can be considered good in all aspects.
"Water Style: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"
Read the original text at Liu#9@书/吧!
Since there was plenty of water in the venue at the moment, Kisame didn't spend much chakra to condense a huge water dragon and smashed it towards Yamashiro Aoba. The crows around him that were interfering with his vision were instantly blown away by the huge water dragon.
"Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu!" Yamashiro Aoba made his last struggle. He first spit out a great fireball to block the incoming water dragon bullet, then controlled the remaining crows to block his body. Then Yamashiro Aoba himself held his breath, dived into the water, and swam towards Kisame at a rapid speed.
But Yamashiro Aoba underestimated Kisame's professionalism as a Mist Ninja. Even though Yamashiro Aoba was very careful not to cause any noise, and had the sound of the collision between the Fireball and the Water Dragon Bomb to cover him, Kisame still discovered Yamashiro Aoba who was trapped in the water.
Kisame pretended not to notice, and the moment Yamashiro Aoba approached, he suddenly dived into the water and started fighting with Yamashiro Aoba.
Crash!
A large amount of water exploded, and Yamashiro Aoba was directly hit out of the water by Kisame's full force and flew backwards.
This is not the end yet. Under Kisame's control, a stream of water rushed straight towards Yamashiro Aoba who had not yet landed.
Bang!
Under the impact of the water, Yamashiro Aoba was directly smashed into the wall at the edge of the battlefield.
For ordinary people who were watching the fight, it didn't take long. They only felt that Kisame used a water escape technique and the venue suddenly turned into a big pond. Then the two of them fought with fists and feet twice, and the water escape technique and fire escape technique collided. Then Yamashiro Aoba was knocked against the wall. The whole process took only a few minutes.
"It seems that this person is an outstanding ninja of the Hidden Mist Village and cannot be measured by ordinary ninja standards." The official who had previously said that the Fire Nation ninjas were strong stroked his beard and said, without any embarrassment on his face.
"That's right. After all, Kirigakure has come all the way from afar so it must have sent out the strongest genius in its ninja village." The official next to him agreed.
"I didn't expect the ninjas of Kirigakure are so strong. I wonder how efficient their commissions are." Kisame's strong performance made some wealthy businessmen present recognize the strength of Kirigakure.
The Kirigakure smiled when they heard this, but the Konoha ninjas in the audience didn't look very happy as they lost the first game.
Danzo, who was sitting on the right side of Sarutobi Hiruzen, frowned when he saw this scene, and a look of displeasure appeared on his face.
Although he could see that it was not Yamashiro Aoba who was weak but Kisame was too strong, in Danzo's eyes, losing in such an important occasion would be a disgrace to Konoha and was not something that should be done.
The master sitting to the left of Sarutobi Hiruzen just smiled faintly, without saying anything and without laughing too happily.
Sarutobi Hiruzen neither frowned nor smiled. He just stared at the field with a normal expression, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking.
"Hoshigaki Kisame wins!" After discovering that Yamashiro Aoba had lost his ability to fight, Hiruzen announced Kisame's victory cleanly.
After Hiruko announced the result, a medical ninja quickly took Yamashiro Aoba for treatment, while Kisame walked towards the lounge.
"Come on, Lin." Seeing the first game over, Obito cheered up Nohara Lin.
"You can use water jutsu more at the beginning. You will have the advantage of the field in the front." Kakashi walked to Nohara Lin and reminded her softly.
Although there is a drainage system on the battlefield, it is obviously not very good. Although the amount of water is constantly decreasing and is not as much as before, it is still a favorable environment for Nohara Lin.
Of course, if the battle drags on too long the water will surely run out.
"Yeah." Nohara Lin smiled and nodded at the two of them.
"The second battle is between Nohara Lin and Nara Yui. Candidates please enter the venue quickly." Beiru's voice came into the lounge.
Nohara Lin waved goodbye to the two and walked towards the battle field.
"Midori will cheer you up." Inuzuka Midori also cheered for Nara Yui who was about to go to battle.
Nara Yushiro nodded and turned to walk towards the venue.
Although he was unable to gather any information about Nohara Lin during his special training with Mu Yue, his physical skills had improved slightly there.
