The Shimada Family's Ninja Journey

"That makes sense." Listening to Motojiu's words, Hanzo nodded in agreement. On the battlefield, losing combat effectiveness is basically equivalent to death. Unless the enemy is completely defeated, there may be a glimmer of hope.

The two of them were talking to each other, but they didn't care much about the fact that two younger members of their own family were eliminated together.

After all, the Chuunin Exam happens once every six months. In the opinion of Hanzo and Motojiu, the two of them were unlucky this time. Isn't there another time?

What's more, there are other ways to advance to chuunin, so this chunin exam should be regarded as an experience.

After the two were carried off, several examiners came to repair the arena, and then the preliminary rounds began to continue.

However, after watching the high-quality duel between Masaki and Flame Bird, the remaining three battles seemed a bit lackluster in comparison. At the same time, the other genin who passed the preliminaries on the stage could not help but relax.

Take a breath.

Both Masaki and Yanque were eliminated, which is good news for them.

Even if you pass the first round of pre-selection, you are eligible to be on the candidate list for promotion, but in their view, the better the ranking, the greater the possibility of promotion.

As time went by, the remaining three battles soon ended one after another. In the end, the bye spot unexpectedly fell to a genin from the Uzumaki Village. This also made the genin from the Uzumaki clan overjoyed.

.

Speaking of which, Uzushio Village was really miserable in this qualifier. The two teammates of this genin who was lucky enough to be promoted were both defeated by the genin from the Great Ninja Village. This also made Uzushio Village a

A veritable experience baby in this qualifier.

In addition to this lucky man from Uzushio Village, the other three promoted ninjas are two genin from Iwagakure Village, and Kirigakure's only Miao Terumi Eiichi. In this way, the first round of the qualifying competition

The results came out.

Three people from Konoha were promoted, the largest number, followed by Kumogakure and Iwagakure, who were promoted by two people respectively, and then Kirigakure and Sunagakure were promoted by one person. Plus the lucky guy from Uzushio Village who got a bye, there were exactly ten people.

.

But then, Genji started to have a headache again.

Normally, in the first round of qualifiers, including byes, eleven people should be promoted. In this way, after the second round of qualifiers, there will be exactly six people to enter the main selection.

But now, because Masaki and Yanque were both eliminated, only ten people advanced in this first round.

This is very uncomfortable. If the second round of preliminaries is held as planned, then only five people will advance to the main selection...

"These two brats are causing trouble for me!" Genji cursed in his heart, then walked to the arena and said to everyone: "Everyone, the qualifying round has come to an end for now. First of all, I want to congratulate you.

For those of you who have successfully advanced, from the moment you win, your names have been entered into the candidate list of the evaluation team, and they will judge whether you can be promoted to Chuunin based on your performance."

On the platform, the victorious genin suddenly showed a hint of excitement in their eyes.

Although there is only a chance of becoming a chuunin, there is still hope. Compared with other ninjas at the same time, they are already considered the winners of this chunin exam.

Genji didn't care about the expressions of these genin and just continued: "However, in view of some unexpected situations in the first round of qualifiers, we need to renegotiate the next schedule.

Today’s competition is over. You can go back and rest. We will inform you of the specific schedule here at 12 noon tomorrow.”

When Genji said this, a trace of helplessness flashed across his face. It was a bit of a slap in the face to see the competition system changing like this.

But there was nothing he could do. After all, this was the first time the Chunin Exam was held, and he didn't expect so many unexpected situations to happen.

Although the Ministry of Education has prepared several plans in advance, under the current situation, those plans are of little use...

On the platform, the leading ninjas of other ninja villages saw Genji's head-ache, and they all found it a bit funny, and secretly decided to give their own ninja villages a warning to avoid encountering the same situation.

But no matter what, as the leading ninjas and guiding jounin left with their respective subordinates, only Hanzo, Motohisa and Genji were left in the entire qualifying field.

"Brother Yuanjiu."

Genji jumped onto the podium and said hello awkwardly.

Seeing this, Yuan Jiu couldn't help but smile a little, and said: "Okay, you can discuss it with Hanzo, I will leave first."

After saying that, Yuanjiu stood up and disappeared from the podium.

As soon as Yuanjiu left, Genji's face immediately wrinkled into a bitter melon: "Brother, what do you mean by this? I finally finalized the new competition system, and then you gave me this trouble."

Genji looked sad and angry at this time.

Hanzo also felt a little dumbfounded. After a while, he said: "Okay, this is not a big deal. Although it is a bit embarrassing, it is the first Chunin Exam after all, and no one will say anything."

"Alas..." Hanzo's comfort obviously failed to appease Genji, and he couldn't help but sigh: "That's fine, but how should we arrange the rest of the schedule?"

"What's so difficult about this?" Hanzo leaned on his seat and said lightly, "Just stick to the original plan."

"The original plan?" Genji was stunned when he heard this.

Hanzo smiled and said: "You started it. You planned one round of preliminaries and one round of main rounds. Now we have just enough ten people. Well... five games is not a lot. I think it is enough.

"

After listening to Hanzo's suggestion, Genji immediately put away his distressed expression, touched his chin and began to think.

After a while, he said: "That seems to make sense, but wouldn't it be a waste of time?"

Hanzo rolled his eyes at his younger brother and said, "What's the point? The second round of preliminaries hasn't officially started anyway, so there's nothing wrong with changing it now. Maybe those genin will be happy."

"That's true." Genji nodded and said, "Then let's do it."

As he said that, his face fell again: "It's really embarrassing this time. I didn't even bother to set up a ninja school. Alas."

"Okay." Hanzo also stood up and said with a smile: "Just think of it as accumulating experience. After this time, when it is the village's turn to hold the Chuunin exam in more than two years, won't you have experience?"

Two years later, Genji's term of office has not yet expired, and by then the task of holding the Chuunin Examination will probably still fall on him.

When he thought of this, Genji felt dizzy again: "Oh... let's talk about it then."

The two brothers were talking as they walked outside the arena.
