Hokage, I am Uzumaki Naruto

Seeing what he said, it was hard for them to say anything more.

After a moment of silence, Naruto asked again: "Since Madara is here, what about Hashirama? Isn't he with you?"

"He." Madara said with a smile, "He said he was curious about the development of Sand Hidden Village in the past two years, so he wanted to take a look."

"Ok."

Hearing that Hashirama went to Sand Hidden Village, Naruto didn't ask any more questions.

In the next two days, people continued to come to the tower one after another.But more of them were those teams that were eliminated in the Tree of Flowers.

And as early as the day the exam ended, these people were sent by Kakashi in the tower to rescue them.

When the invigilator Shangren finally announced the end of the second exam.

At this time, the number of remaining teams has dropped from the original 180 to [-].

Nearly half of the teams were eliminated in the second test.And this happened to be within the expectation of Kakashi and other invigilators.

Next, without waiting for the subsequent team to have time to rest, Kakashi continued to give orders.

That is to say, each candidate will set off for the duel field in the city of fire on an individual basis.The first [-] people who arrive at the duel field in the city are all deemed to have passed.

The remaining 84 will be considered eliminated!

The moment the voice fell, the candidates were once again stunned.

What the hell?

Will those who arrive late be eliminated again?

After learning the experience and lessons of the last rush, the members of their respective teams immediately realized that this was an extremely harsh test.

Without thinking too much, the crowd almost followed each other, and immediately started a frantic chase.

Seeing that the candidates have almost started to act.

Only then did Naruzuo Sakura's team slowly perform their teleportation technique and started on their way.

In this way, a new competition is unfolding.

At the same time, Kakashi wrote a small note of everything that was going on here, and tied it to the leg of the messenger eagle, letting it pass the news to the city of fire.

city ​​of fire.

It has been nearly ten days since Naruto took the exam.At this moment, the city is still a scene of joy, peace and prosperity.

And it was in a coffee shop on the edge of Chengnan Street, near the floor-to-ceiling windows.

Several beautiful women in their 30s and 40s were chatting about something.Judging from the expressions of some of the beautiful women, there are quite a few smug ones.

And if you look carefully, you will find that among this group of beauties are the current First Lady of Hokage, Kushina, and his close friend Uchiha Mikoto.

And beside them, the other women who sat were not simple.

Among them, apart from Kushina and Mikoto, Ino's mother Rino Yamanaka also attended the tea party.Sakura's mother, Haruno Mebuki; Kiba's mother, Inuzuka Zuo, and Shikamaru's mother Nara Yoshino and others.

It was rare for everyone to get together, and first they talked about clothes, cosmetics and bags for a while.

Then, as we talked, we started to bring up the topic of the children from various families who took the Chunin Exam.

Speaking of this, except for Kushina, Mikoto, and Haruno Yabuki who all looked calm.A look of worry flashed across the faces of the rest of the women.

Among them, Ino's mother Yamanaka Moye was even more worried about her daughter and said: "I heard that there are more than 2000 people who participated in the Chunin exam this time, and there are people from any ninja village."

"As for that girl Ino, she doesn't practice diligently enough. What should I do? I don't know if she can persevere until the end?"

Also worried is Shikamaru's mother, who is also one of Ikacho's parents.

Nara Yoshino frowned and said, "Don't talk about it, my family is similar to yours. Shikamaru's child, although he is just like his father, is extremely smart."

"But this is an exam after all. In the end, apart from IQ and strategy, there is also strength. And this happens to be my Shikamaru's shortcoming."

Speaking of this, she sighed heavily, and said: "Not to mention that there is Izuo Jinchuriki from Sand Hidden Village this time, such a ninja whose strength is completely beyond the scope of a ninja, would take it for granted. To participate in this Chunin exam, alas..."

As long as she thought that the eighth class her child was in might be wiped out, she couldn't help but feel worried.

At this time, Kushina, who was sitting opposite the two of them, took a sip of coffee in a calm manner, and then slowly said, "Shikamaru's mother, Ino's mother, you two, don't worry too much."

"Although many talented ninjas from other ninja villages came to the Chunin exam this time. But it doesn't matter, I believe that my kid and Sasuke will definitely make a move."

The implication is that with Mingzuo and the two present, Konoha will definitely not lose to other ninja villages in terms of fighting the enemy.

The second daughter nodded in agreement when she heard the words: "That's right. But with so many contestants, on this scale, compared to our time, I don't know how many times more dangerous."

"Especially among the lower ninjas of the five great ninja villages, there must be no shortage of crouching tigers, hidden dragons."

"So what?" Jiu Xinnai continued to show disdain, and said proudly: "As far as the people you mentioned, there really are, but they are still not enough in front of that brat in my family."

Everyone: "..."

So yeah, what they didn't say was.

Compared with those candidates from villages all over the ninja world.

What they were more worried about was that Naruto and Sasuke would attack the Genin from the same village.

After all, they have heard of it.This is before the third test of the finals, but there is a qualifier to be played.

And this so-called preliminaries turned out to be a random brawl among candidates.In this way, the comparison is based on the personal strength of the candidates.

Thinking of this, Kiba's mother, Inuzukazume, also panicked, and said, "But I heard that before the start of the third exam, there is still a preliminaries to be held. And the rules are, no-rule brawling."

"Yeah, I've also heard about this rule, and it's said that it came out only recently."

At this time, Sakura's mother, who had not spoken for a long time, also nodded in agreement.

Mikoto then added: "I heard that this is a contest specially set up by Hokage-sama based on the experience of the last Chunin exam. The purpose is to reduce the number of candidates who can finally enter the final."

"Then why would he do that?" the women were puzzled.

According to the past practice, the original purpose of the selection of Chunin Exams was just a means to increase the front-line combat power of the ninja village.

But now, all this has changed.

Regarding the doubts of the crowd, Kushina knew a little about the purpose of it.Said to the women: "I can understand why Minato would do this?"

Everyone looked at her in unison: "Why?"

Kushina said: "Because the Chunin exam this time is different from the previous one where the purpose is to select Chunin who can serve as the captain."

"This time the focus is on selecting the most talented young ninjas, which is the ultimate goal of this exam."
