Naruto: Thousand Hands of Glory

When the first rays of morning light broke, the sky was painted with a soft golden red, and the warm sunlight penetrated through the thin clouds and sprinkled the end area of ​​the Chunin Exam. Yanagi, Nawaki, Hyuga Suzuran and Uchiha En, this group of Konoha ninjas, finally arrived at this land full of hope after a whole night of challenges and fatigue.

When Yanagishita and his team appeared at the finish line, Ai, a member of the ninja team of the Hidden Cloud Village, immediately noticed their arrival. Ai and Yanagishita didn't communicate much in the past, but every time they did, they were filled with competition and rivalry.

Ai strode towards Liuxia, his eyes flashing with scrutiny and interest, "Liuxia, long time no see. It seems that you also encountered a lot of trouble in this exam?"

Liuxia stopped, turned around, and faced Ai, his eyes revealing an unquestionable confidence, "Ai, it's just some minor troubles."

Ai chuckled, but there was a hint of coldness in his laughter. "Really? Then the ninjas of our Hidden Cloud Village will not let you win easily. The Chunin Exam is the best opportunity to test your strength. I look forward to seeing your performance."

There was no wavering in Yanagishita's eyes, his voice was calm and firm, "You will see. Konoha's ninjas are never afraid of any challenge."

When the atmosphere between Yanagi and Ai gradually became tense, and the conversation between the two solidified into a silent contest in the air, the appearance of the Sand Ninja Team broke the silence of the moment. Luosha, Ye Cang and Jialuo hurried to the finish area with their newly obtained scrolls.

Luo Sha's eyes were as sharp as a sword, and his sight was fixed on Yanagishita. Although he had been defeated miserably by Yanagishita in the previous conflict and doubted himself for a time, the Ninja Way did not allow him to retreat.

"Yanagishita, I was defeated miserably in the last battle, but I, the ninja of the Sand Village, will not give up. In the third exam, I hope to fight you again and wash away my shame." There was firmness and determination in Luosha's voice.

Yanagishita was about to respond, but Uchiha En got there first. Uchiha En stood up, his eyes flashing with a strong sense of self-esteem and a desire for victory, "Rosa, I lost last time, but the honor of the Uchiha clan cannot be lost. In the third exam, I will challenge you and win back the dignity of our family!"

Luo Sha looked at Uchiha Yan, with a hint of seriousness in his eyes. He knew that Uchiha Yan was not the kind of person who gave up easily. "Uchiha Yan, I accept your challenge. You didn't show your full strength in the last battle. This time, I want to see how far you can go."

Liuxia was listening silently on the side. Although Uchiha Yan interrupted him, he did not mind. Instead, he expressed his approval of Uchiha Yan's fighting spirit.

Nawaki and Hyuga Suzuran were not to be outdone. Nawaki waved his fist and said, "Yakura, we didn't win last time, but I won't show mercy this time. Get ready to take it!"

Hyuga Suzuran looked at Jialuo calmly, "Jialuo, the Byakugan of the Hyuga family will not miss any details. In the third exam, let us decide who is truly strong."

Ai looked at the challenge of the Konoha ninjas and couldn't help but laugh, "What a vibrant team. The ninjas of the Hidden Cloud Village won't fall behind either. In the third exam, let's see who is stronger!"

As the last grain of sand in the hourglass fell, the final time limit ended and the invigilator's voice echoed in the finish area.

"In this Chunin Exam, a total of ten teams have successfully passed the first two rounds. Next, please allow the Third-Kami to introduce the content of the third round of this Chunin Exam!"

The sun shines on every ninja's face, bringing a touch of warmth and hope. The ninjas gathered here, waiting for the Third Hokage's speech. He stood on the high platform, his eyes swept over every young ninja, his voice full of majesty and kindness.

The Third Hokage spoke slowly, his voice echoing in the air: "Dear ninjas, you have successfully passed the first two rounds of tests and demonstrated your strength and courage. In one month, we will enter the third ninja showdown. This is your last chance to show yourselves."

He paused and continued, "The opponent for this duel will be decided by drawing lots. This is not only a contest of strength, but also a test of wisdom and strategy. The result of the draw will determine your fate."

The ninjas listened quietly, their eyes full of anticipation and tension.

The Third Hokage went on to say, "This tournament is not just a competition between our ninja villages, but also an opportunity to showcase the strength of our ninja world. I am very happy to tell you that this tournament has attracted the attention of Daimyo from various countries, and they will come to watch in person."

Hearing this, the ninjas couldn't help but feel a sense of honor and pressure. The arrival of the daimyo meant that their performance would directly affect the reputation and status of their own village.

The Third Hokage smiled and encouraged every ninja: "I know that each of you is ready. Whether facing a strong opponent or accepting the scrutiny of the Daimyo, I believe that you can show your best. Those who are recognized in this competition can become Chunin. Now, let's start drawing lots to decide your opponents."

As the Third Hokage finished speaking, the invigilator began to organize the lottery process. The ninjas stepped forward one by one and drew their own numbers from the lottery box, with tension and anticipation intertwined in their hearts.

When the draw results were announced, all the ninjas watched nervously, waiting for their fate to be revealed. Yanagishita glanced at the battle list, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, because he did not draw Ai, but Huang Tu from the Hidden Rock Village as his opponent. It seemed that the battle with Ai would be later.

Although Liu Xia was a little surprised, he quickly adjusted his mentality. He knew that no matter who his opponent was, he had to go all out. He turned to Huang Tu, and their eyes met in the air, as if a silent contest had begun.

At the same time, the results of the draws of Nawaki and others were also announced one after another. They drew the opponents they expected, and a satisfied smile appeared on their faces. Nawaki drew Ye Cang, Hyuga Suzuran drew Jialuo, Uchiha En faced Luo Sha again, and Ai faced Yagura from the Hidden Mist Village.

Sheng Shu waved his fists, full of fighting spirit, "Ye Cang, we didn't win last time, but I won't show mercy this time, get ready to take it!"

Hyuga Suzuran looked at Jialuo calmly, "Jialuo, the Byakugan of the Hyuga family will not miss any details. In the third exam, let us decide who is truly strong."

Uchiha Yan seemed a little excited, "Luo Sha, I lost last time, but the honor of Uchiha cannot be lost. In the third exam, I will challenge you and win back the dignity of our family!"

With the announcement of the draw results, the Third Hokage announced his disbandment.

"Well everyone, see you in a month, disband!" There was a hint of expectation and encouragement in his voice, and the ninjas dispersed one after another, preparing for the showdown in a month.

Under the sun, the ninja training ground in Konoha Village gradually returned to peace, but the fire in the hearts of the ninjas burned more and more. One month later, they will start an unprecedented contest here for glory, for dreams, and to become true Chunin.
