Red sand dust

Unlike the monitor where the examiner Ryuuza and the Konoha ninja Morino Hiki can directly see the screen, the real backstage of the entire monitoring system developed based on illusions and barriers is actually a bunch of arm-thick cables and half-face holograms A chakra sensing terminal that looks like a mask.

Only ninjas with keen senses and masters of illusion can truly grasp the overall situation through it.

As if aware of Daimaru's entrance, Qian took off the mask on his head, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and tied up his scattered sideburns behind his ears.

"How's it going? Nothing happened?"

"It's okay! It's just that the difficulty suddenly increased at the end, which scared a lot of people!"

Still wearing that calm smile, the female ninja who was observing the changes in the entire "Demon Desert" could not hide her tiredness, but her eyes were bright and she was in good spirits.

"Just a few more hours and it'll be over!"

Daimaru casually touched the terminal interface with his fingers, and a series of records poured into Daimaru's mind along with the surging mental power. The picture-rich information allowed Daimaru to basically understand what happened.

Not to mention the process of how Gaara, Kankuro and Temari defeated Fuyi and his radical supporters with the help of the Shadow Guard and members of the Security Department, the development of the second trial is indeed a bit surprising.

"Until the early morning of the last day, there were still eleven teams that were not eliminated, and it had been twelve consecutive hours that no candidate had been eliminated?"

It seems that the high quality of this year's candidates surprised even Daimaru, who had already made some predictions.

"Even now, there are still nine teams. I estimate that we can eliminate two or three more groups and that will be the limit!"

Qian Lue replied somewhat amusedly,

"After all, it is a grand event for the entire ninja world. Forget about other small ninja villages. Even if some of the five major ninja villages are perfunctory, they are still talented people! In fact, the performance of the eleven teams last night was completely up to par. I have qualified as a chuunin. Unfortunately, the third test does not require so many people, so I have to temporarily increase the difficulty and eliminate more candidates! This is also my own decision, what do you think?"

"Good!"

Daimaru didn't think there was anything wrong;

"If I did it myself, I might do it even more exaggeratedly!"

The original intention of the Joint Chuunin Exam was to select the best to be promoted to Chunin, but the third test was ultimately a martial arts show in front of a large audience, and both publicity and gimmicks needed to be considered.

A lot of genin with no obvious names, fighting back and forth, it's really nothing to see. Only the most talented elites have the chance to perform in front of a bunch of big shots.

Two years ago, many viewers went to watch the Chunin Exams because of the contest between the orphan of the Uchiha family and Gaara, the genius of Sunagakure Village. This year, the focus is not actually on these candidates. The competition between Sunagakure Village and Konoha Village The purpose is to let Gaara, the fifth generation of Kazekage, and Tsunade, the fifth generation of Naruto, officially appear on the big stage of the ninja world, and take the opportunity to gain a wave of reputation.

Originally, wars in peacetime and competitions between reserve forces were not taken seriously by insiders. The reason for this phenomenon was that the Suna Ninja candidates who performed well in the previous session basically did not participate and had no gimmicks to hype them up.

As for the candidates who were eliminated because of the increased difficulty, they had no choice but to say a few good words for them in the evaluation report. After returning, they might be promoted.

"Are there promotion quotas for around twenty people? There are still too many. It seems that we have to start preparing for the third trial in advance!"

After taking in the performance of the candidates who were running for their lives, Daimaru nodded clearly,

"The exam matchup table is arranged according to the plan. Make sure that the people you focus on are matched up, if they qualify!"

"clear!"

Qian nodded solemnly.

The so-called preparation is undoubtedly cheating in drawing lots.

The targeted targets were Taki-nin, who disguised himself as a genin to take the chuunin exams, and his alias was Kegon, his real name was Toki, and two guys who went by the alias Youlang, and his real name was Kun.

It's not that Suna-nin doesn't like Taki-nin, it's that they don't follow the rules in the first place.

In order to achieve the purpose of sending Fu to Konoha Village, it was necessary for them to pass the second test, but it would be too unfair for two jounin to occupy the third test quota of other candidates.

The Jonin of Taki Ninja Village may be weaker than the five major Ninja Villages, but they are also genuine Jonin. If he wants to legitimately eliminate them without affecting Fu's qualification for the third trial, Daimaru has to work hard against them.

The only ones who can be more confident about defeating the two of them are Hyuga Neji, who has a huge advantage in the ring battle, and Kurama Yakumo, who wins first.

Other candidates, even Rock Lee who has opened the fifth gate, may not be close. The combat experience of jounin is not comparable to that of genin.

If there is an accident, you can also ask Miss Saya to try. In an emergency, you will not hesitate to borrow the power of the "Cradle Garden".

The plan was decided, and Daimaru ordered several assistants to take over Qian's tasks and prepare to set up a temporary arena.

"Daimaru, Saya and Kurama Yakumo don't know each other very well, why do they seem to have a bad relationship!"

"I don't know the reason very well. It's probably because Kurama Yakumo took advantage of the first trial a few days ago to pry into the reality of the 'Cradle Garden' and offended Miss Saya!"

Daimaru couldn't understand the grievances between girls, but he vaguely noticed that Miss Saya seemed to treat the "Cradle Garden" as a private place for herself and herself. The "artificial elf" could be lent to others. After all, it was mutually beneficial. The relationship is the core of the "Cradle Garden" and no one else is allowed to get involved.

Of course, it is also possible that the four little guys revealed some secrets during their daily chat.

For example, Kurama Yakumo was the only girl who took the initiative to express her love to Daimaru, and she didn't hesitate to get out after being rejected.

Not only that, he also cooperated with Daimaru on many occasions, finding reasons to meet every once in a while. They had been in constant contact with each other for so long, but they had not broken off their friendship yet.

It is normal for this slightly frivolous appearance not to be liked by girls from the conservative Sunagakure Village.

"Miss Saya's thoughts are indeed unpredictable!"

Qian couldn't help covering his mouth and snickering,

"I thought she and Temari had been at odds with each other for more than ten years and would cause trouble one day. I didn't expect that she was very restrained. Apart from the official interactions during the mission, she didn't do anything extra..."

"Um!"

Daimaru nodded and agreed,

"She is a cold-faced person with a warm heart. She doesn't like to cause trouble to her friends. She probably thinks that Kurama Yakumo is a Konoha ninja and will have some bad influence on me, a Suna ninja!"

"Friends..."

After Qian murmured to himself a few times, a strange smile appeared on his face,

"It's quite rare that you can still be friends. I hope it's not just wishful thinking on your part..."
