Chapter 1505 Before the Third Exam

After confirmation by the Chunin Exam monitoring officer, Hyuga Neji, Tenten, and Rock Lee passed the second Chunin Exam.

The three of them lived in the central tower.

The Chunin Exam lasts for five days. Hyuga Neji, Tenten, and Rock Lee arrived too early, and had to wait four days for the other Genins to come. Only then would the time, place, and format of the final exam be revealed.

Hyuga Neji, Tenten, and Rock Lee were also forbidden to leave the central tower, and they spent a few days in a rather boring state.

Hyuga Neji discovered that there were a lot more Anbu in the central tower, and most of their eyes were on him.

Hyuga Neji ignored it. No matter what kind of surveillance it was, it couldn't change the ending.

What's more, it was not him who launched the Konoha collapse plan, and he did not cooperate with Orochimaru.

They rested for four days. As time passed, other teams gradually gathered the scrolls of heaven and earth and entered the central tower, but they all encountered Hyuga Neji, Tenten, and Rock Lee and avoided them.

They all knew that Hyuga Neji, Tenten and Rock Lee were unique in this exam team and were not someone that ordinary Genin could deal with, so they were very wary of the three of them.

With one hour left before the end of the second exam, Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen came into the central tower and stood in front of Hyuga Neji, smoking his pipe and smiling.

"How about taking the Chunin Exam, Neji? It shouldn't be a problem for you." Sarutobi Hiruzen walked over with a smile, followed by Hyuga Hiashi who was dressed solemnly and had a serious face.

"Well, it's okay." Hyuga Neji smiled faintly.

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded, took a puff of his pipe, blew out a puff of smoke, and said with great appreciation: "This generation of Konoha depends on you, Neji. I am already old, and you are capable of becoming a jonin. I hope you can become a jonin as quickly as possible and become my successor." Sarutobi Hiruzen said with emotion, and his words shocked the people who heard it.

"Is this... the approval of Lord Hokage?" A Genin from Konoha was surprised.

"Is Hyuga Neji so powerful? He was recognized as the successor by the Hokage."

"Or is he the next Hokage?"

"Amazing."

Those who heard Sarutobi Hiruzen's words were talking in surprise.

"Yes, I will." Hyuga Neji had a deep look on his face, as if he was thinking or considering.

Seeing that Hyuga Neji was thinking, Sarutobi Hiruzen was very satisfied. After encouraging Hyuga Neji with a few words, he left with Hyuga Hiashi.

Until the time for the second exam has begun.

21 people passed the second exam. According to the rules of the Chunin Exam, the third exam will start in a way that has not been used for 5 years.

  In the central tower, the 21 people who passed the second exam stood in the hall. Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at the Genin, lingering slightly on Hyuga Neji, and said:

"The third exam will begin next. Before I introduce you, I must first make one thing clear to you, the real purpose of this exam."

"Why do we have to take the exam together with the Allies? Is it for the friendly coexistence of the Allies and to improve the level of ninjas? It will be very troublesome if you misunderstand."

"This exam can be said to be a microcosm of the battle between the Allies."

Sarutobi Hiruzen's words surprised many Genin.

Sarutobi Hiruzen did not hide it and gave a brief explanation. The current allies were the neighboring countries that were constantly at war. In order to avoid mutual destruction, the countries specially selected this battlefield. This was the origin of the Chunin Selection Exam.

It's not just for the purpose of selecting Chunins, but to show off one's means, to deter other countries and to avoid war.

This exam also has the mission of selecting Chunin, but on the other hand, it is also a place where ninjas who bear the prestige of the country fight for their lives.

Because the third battle will be directly related to the arrival of nobles and celebrities from various countries who will entrust tasks to each village, Sarutobi Hiruzen solemnly reminded the group of Genin that this battle is related to the dignity of each country and each ninja village and the amount of tasks in the future. This battle is a stage for them to show their strength to others and it is an exam that requires them to risk their lives.

Although this group of Genin were somewhat shocked by what they heard from Sarutobi Hiruzen, they expressed their desire to start right away without fear.

It’s just because there are still too many people left on the scene. In order to avoid the third exam competition being dragged out, a screening competition needs to be held in advance, followed by an individual competition, and withdrawal is also allowed.

But in the end, only Kabuto Yakushi withdrew. Team 7 did have some disputes because of Uchiha Sasuke's injury, but they continued to participate at Uchiha Sasuke's insistence. Apart from them, no one else withdrew.

The first battle is still between Uchiha Sasuke and Akado Kai.

Akadomon Kai is Orochimaru's subordinate, and one of the spies of the Sound Village who wears a Konoha forehead protector. He is confident, good at illusion, and possesses the rare ability to absorb chakra. During the competition, he was hit by Uchiha Sasuke using physical skills, and then died after a shuriken was inserted into his chest.

The next few battles were nothing special.

In fact, it was just a battle between Genin, and the examiners supervising the battle did not pay too much attention to it. Instead, most of their attention was on whether Orochimaru would appear.

Until Tenten and Temari's battle.

Tenten casually threw a kunai that was filled with supernatural power. It seemed that it was not flying very fast. After Temari used the three-star fan to sweep towards the kunai, the three-star fan in her hand was knocked away by the huge power of the kunai, and she was hit against the wall by the impact.

"Kunai...how can it have such power!" Temari was so shocked that she vomited blood several times. Finally, she admitted defeat when the Sand Village's senior ninja Maki surrendered voluntarily.

The other Genin looked at Tenten, especially Kankuro and Gaara.

"It's a super power developed by Neji. It has many uses." Tenten explained with a smile, attracting everyone's attention.

Including all the jonin and Orochimaru, who was hiding in the jonin exam with a look of surprise on his face.

Super strength is the symbol of Tsunade, one of the three ninjas of Konoha. Orochimaru is very familiar with it, but he did not expect Tenten to say that this was researched by Hyuga Neji, which surprised Orochimaru.

The research ability of this ninjutsu is extremely strong, even Tsunade's super strength was researched.

Now he knew why Hyuga Neji invited him.

After a while, it was Neji Hyuga's turn, but the one facing Neji Hyuga was not Hinata Hyuga, but a Genin from the Rain Village. Neji Hyuga instantly got behind her and knocked her unconscious with a single knife.

The unexpected enemy of Hyuga Hinata is Rock Lee. With his powerful attack power and speed, Rock Lee defeats Hyuga Hinata and advances to the third exam.

The preliminaries will soon be over, and the official third Chunin Exam will be held in a month.

It was quite unexpected.

Hyuga Neji drew lots and got to fight against Gaara.
