The Shimada Family's Ninja Journey

Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and soon, it was time to start the qualifiers.

"Is this the qualifying venue specially built by the village?" Early on the day of the preliminaries, Masaki and the other three came to the venue that Genji had notified before.

This arena is a temporary venue built by the Ministry of Education in the past few months, and it was funded by the Ministry of Education itself.

Although the logistics department promised to give the Ministry of Education additional funds, in the final analysis, the main selection venue is the real top priority, including the ecological transformation of the dead forest, which is also a waste of money.

Therefore, most of the budget approved by the logistics department was spent by Genji on these two aspects, and there was really not much money left for the qualifiers in the end.

And the logistics department refused to continue to increase the budget. In desperation, Genji could only temporarily suspend some plans, and then set aside enough budget to use for the construction of the preliminaries.

It was precisely because of insufficient budget that the arena had just been completed. In order to prevent anyone from tampering with it, Genji simply did not open the arena to the public.

Speaking of which, today is the first time it is open.

"I didn't expect that even the budget arena was built so finely. It seems that the village really attaches great importance to this Chunin exam." Uchiha Hiroshi looked around and sighed.

"Of course." A familiar voice reached the ears of the three.

The three Shinobi knew without looking back that this was their instructor Jun Uchiha.

"Teacher Jun, why are you here?" Ryoka Senju took three steps at a time and walked to Uchiha Jun. Masaki and Hao also followed.

"Didn't I tell you?" Uchiha Jun suddenly laughed: "In this qualifier, the instructors of all participating teams and the leading ninjas from each ninja village can come to watch the competition."

When the three of them heard the words, they looked at each other in disbelief. Then they remembered that Jun Uchiha had told them before the Chunin exam that he would not come to watch the battle until they had passed the round of selection.

Looking at the watches of his three subordinates, Jun Uchiha didn't know what was going on. He shook his head. He didn't care. He just glanced at the rostrum, where there were two seats.

Masaki and the others also turned their eyes to Uchiha Jun: "Teacher Chun, what are those two seats?"

"It is a seat prepared for Hokage-sama and Mizukage-dono." Uchiha Jun explained: "Although it is only a preliminary selection, the significance of the main election is to show celebrities from all over the world the strength of Ninja Village. The strength of the younger generation in the village, the preliminary election is no worse than the main election."

Masaki and the three of them also nodded in agreement when they heard this.

Because the lottery for the pre-selection is also random, if two strong ninjas happen to be drawn together, only one of them is destined to advance, but the one who is eliminated may be stronger than many of the advanced ninjas.

This element of luck is an inevitable disadvantage of the lottery system, but this is already the fairest way.

Hokage, Mizukage, and the others paid different attention to this Chunin exam than those celebrities and nobles, so they would naturally not miss this preselection.

As for the other great ninja villages, although they also have ninja leaders, the only one who is qualified to rank with Hanzo is the Mizukage.

Although the other leading ninjas also represented their respective ninja villages, they were shorter in stature, so they could only watch the battle from a high platform like the guiding jounin.

While the four members of Jun Uchiha's team were chatting in low voices, the teams participating in the preliminaries arrived at the preliminaries one after another.

The entire arena gradually became noisy.

But at this moment, two figures suddenly appeared on the rostrum directly in front of the arena.

Both of them wear a bamboo hat on top of their heads. The hat on the left is mainly red and white, with the character "fire" in the center; while the hat on the right is mainly blue and white, with the character "water" in the center. .

There is no doubt that the two are the first Hokage Shimada Hanzo, and the second generation Mizukage Shimada Motohisa.

The two are also the most dazzling twin stars of the Shimada clan. The Shimada clan is now recognized as the first family in the ninja world. In addition to the strength of the family, the "shadow" position of the two major ninja villages above them is also very critical. factor.

With the appearance of the two Kages, everyone's eyes were focused on the rostrum, of course, mainly on Hanzo, the Hokage.

After all, Mizukage is just a guest this time, and Hokage is the host.

"Everyone."

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Hanzo immediately said: "First of all, I would like to congratulate you all for passing the first round of selection for the Chunin Exam.

The death forest mission was carefully designed by Konoha, after considering all aspects, the final decision was made. It tested the comprehensive ability of a ninja team.

For those of you ninjas who have passed the mission of the Death Forest, I can say bluntly, as long as you are not fishing in troubled waters, then you already have the potential to be promoted to Chunin. "

Listening to Hanzo's praise, the faces of the ninjas on the platform couldn't help showing a hint of excitement.

No matter which ninja village they come from, the name of the first Hokage is well-known. To be recognized by this legendary figure naturally makes these ninjas very excited.

"But" after first acknowledging it, Hanzo then changed the topic: "However, if genin is the foundation of a ninja village, then chunin is the backbone of a ninja village.

Although the death forest task is a test with great reference value, it is not enough.

We need to see more of your abilities, and use this to judge whether you are qualified to become the backbone of your respective ninja villages, and this is the purpose of the second round of selection.

So, everyone, perform well, no matter who your opponent is or how lucky you are, fight with all your strength, and the evaluation team will naturally determine whether you can be promoted based on the qualities you have displayed.

Next, I would like to ask Mizukage-sama to say a few words. "

After finishing speaking, Hanzo sat in his seat and handed over the stage to Motohisa.

Motojiu also looked at the genin and said, ""After that, Motojiu also sat back in his seat.

After the two shadows finished their speeches, the qualifiers will officially begin.

At this time, a ninja suddenly appeared on an independent platform next to the rostrum: "I am Xiang Jingji, the referee of this qualifying match."

The person who came was Xiang Jingsi, who was now the actual controller of the Xiang clan and the former leader of the Xiang branch. With his ability to inherit the boundaries with his white eyes and blood, he was indeed the most suitable referee and examiner for this kind of assessment.

"Next, I will draw lots from these two boxes." Xiang Jingsi placed the two boxes filled with paper lots on the table in front of him and said, "I swear on the honor of Konoha that the drawing process is absolutely fair and random. Please supervise the representatives of each ninja village. The person whose name I read next needs to enter the venue within 1 minute, otherwise it will automatically be deemed as a forfeit. Now, the preliminaries begin."

Saying that, Xiang Jingsi put his hands into the two boxes at the same time.
