Chapter 439 Extra Test
On the Land of Whirlpools, in a makeshift rest room on the coast.
As the timer ran out, the second round of the Chunin Exam came to an end.
In the end, no team returned as scheduled like the protagonist, and the last team arrived an hour ago.
The remaining teams that have lost teammates and been eliminated, or those who are still on the island, will also be picked up by special ships from the Kirigakure Village.
Not mentioning the losers who have been eliminated.
All the remaining candidates who passed the exam gathered here, looking at the Kirigakure examiners in front of them with some confusion.
Especially the earliest teams like Kabuto, who arrived here, have already rested here for a day and a night.
However, they were still told that they could not leave for the time being.
However, it was also through this opportunity that Kabuto took a quick look around at the Genin who had successfully passed the exam.
'Of the 24 teams, only 6 are left? The elimination rate for the second exam is 75%!'
With this in mind, Kabuto wrote down the physical features of the remaining 18 candidates one by one.
'These are likely to be the enemies in the third exam!'
However, Kabuto still felt a little emotional in his heart, after all, the Great Ninja Village had a profound heritage.
Of the 6 teams present, including their own, 2 were from Kirigakure, 2 were from Konoha, and 1 was from Sunagakure.
The last team is the Amegakure Team that used paper ninjutsu and had fought with their side before.
The only team that is not from the five major ninja villages comes from the special Amegakure Village, which is far superior to other small ninja villages.
From this they can see the gap in strength between the various ninja villages in the ninja world.
Just as Kabuto was still analyzing the possible abilities of these people based on their attire.
The Kirigakure examiners standing at the front actually respectfully made way for both sides.
Behind them, Kaito, wearing a Mizukage hat, slowly walked out.
Following behind him were Harusame, the chief examiner of this exam, and Kono, the examiner of the second exam.
'The Sensei is here!'
"Is this the Mizukage-sama?"
"Stop pretending. How could you Konoha ninjas not know this person? Is your brain damaged?"
"I heard that this is the youngest Kage in the ninja world. He's not much older than us."
When Mizukage Kaito appeared, all the candidates present began to whisper to each other with different expressions.
And standing aside were Nakamura Kabuto and the Kirigakure examiners.
When they saw these young ninjas from other villages looking at their own Mizukage with awe, they immediately felt honored.
Even Kaito himself had a faint smile on his face.
Until an inappropriate whisper reached his ears.
"This Mizukage is the White Disaster known as Blue Flames. He is a powerful man who can defeat an entire army by himself. I heard that the Third Hokage-sama was defeated by him."
Having the key words triggered, Kaito looked at the Konoha Genin who was speaking with a frown on his face.
'What the hell is this white disaster! My last name is not Xiumu!' ( Xiumu = Kuchiki , I think since Byakuya means White Disaster in chinese)
Look at the other person's hedgehog hair and the two huge scimitars on his back.
And the Genin with side bangs and a blue bandanna who was whispering to him.
Kaito immediately recognized the identities of the two men.
Kamizuki Izumo and Hagane Kotetsu from the Anko Team are the duo of Konoha's gatekeepers who will even make Pain retreat in the future.
'You'll be in for a treat later!'
Hagane Kotetsu, who was originally speaking in a low voice, immediately felt a huge chill spread throughout his body.
However, after he looked at Mitarashi Anko who continued to exude coldness in front of him, he nodded thoughtfully.
He just thought that his teammate, who has been in a bad mood recently, was thinking of something unhappy.
But after all, not everyone is as tough as Hagane Kotetsu.
Now that Mizukage was in front of them, everyone behaved themselves and gradually stopped talking.
On the examiner's side, Kaito also coughed lightly and began to speak.
"First of all, congratulations to everyone for passing the second exam, but this is not the end of this exam."
"I'm sure you all know the meaning of the so-called Joint Chunin Exam, so I won't go into details here."
"And the most important third exam will officially begin in a month."
Having said that, Kaito looked at the excited expressions of the candidates present.
"But!"
"18 candidates is still too many. The audience who come to watch the exam don't have that much time to watch you rookies play for a few days."
"So, there will be another extra round to select the real participants for the final third exam."
As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar in the audience.
No one expected that after working so hard to pass the second exam, they would still not be able to qualify for the final exam.
The team with the ugliest look was undoubtedly the last team, the Amegakure team that had just arrived an hour ago.
The other candidates have rested here for at least half a day, but their team is not in full condition yet.
However, even so, they were hindered by the power of Kaito.
Among the Genin present, no one dared to question him.
The team leaders who had arrived here earlier had obviously known the news a long time ago. At this time, they were all silent and looked at their team members quietly.
Upon seeing this, Kaito nodded to Kono who was standing beside him, and then he calmly stepped back to watch the show.
"Everyone be quiet!"
"Next there will be a random one-on-one duel, and the winner will be able to enter the third exam in a month!"
"I'm giving you one last chance now. Those of you who don't have confidence in your own abilities can choose to withdraw before I announce the start!"
"Do you understand?!"
Faced with Kono's series of words, everyone immediately became quiet and obedient.
However, no one stood up when he said that they could choose to withdraw voluntarily.
Even the Amegakure team, which was in poor condition, waited quietly.
Kaito also nodded upon seeing this.
He was really afraid that at this moment, Kabuto would suddenly jump out and say, "I want to quit."
After Kono confirmed again that no one had withdrawn, all candidates were asked to retreat to the beach.
Immediately afterwards, under the earth-style ninjutsu of several Chunin examiners.
A huge examination room was immediately marked out, and all the other people jumped onto the earthen and stone steps nearby. The leading Senseis watched the show quietly, while the candidates nervously waited to appear on stage.
Kono first glanced at Kaito who was silent.
After Kaito nodded, he took the square box containing the names and numbers of all the candidates from a Chunin examiner.
After a rough groping, Kono took out two pieces of paper and unfolded them under the nervous gaze of all the candidates.
"The first match of the second round of the Chunin Exam, the extra test will be between!"
"Konohagakure's Gekkō Hayate VS Sunagakure's Maki!"
