The Shimada Family's Ninja Journey

At noon the next day, Genji announced the new arrangements for the Chunin Exams in front of all the promoted genin and their leading ninjas.

Naturally, all the genin accepted it gladly. After all, it was also good for them. With one less round to play, their pressure would be much less.

However, compared to the preliminary selection, the preliminary preparations for the main selection are much more troublesome. The main thing is to give the invited nobles and celebrities from various countries time to arrive in Konoha.

Therefore, the final main selection time was scheduled to be half a month later. During this half month, the genin who were referred were idle, but Hanzo and other high-level officials in Konoha became busy.

Although most of these celebrities and nobles from various countries are not worth mentioning in Hanzo's opinion, in name, Konoha is the military organization of the Country of Fire. Although the Hokage has a transcendent status, he cannot openly shame these guys.

Fortunately, for ordinary nobles, it is enough for Uchiha Kazuya, the elder in charge of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, to come forward. Only a few people, such as the daimyo and senior officials of the daimyo mansion, need to be received by Hanzo personally.

…

"Daimyo-sama, it's been a long time." Two days before the main selection of the Chunin Examination, the Fire Daimyo and several close nobles arrived in Konoha, followed by their attendants.

Hanzo also came to greet him personally.

Since the establishment of Konoha Village, Hanzo has not met this daimyo again because Konoha has its own system.

Compared with the tired and panicked daimyo at the old daimyo's funeral, the daimyo today looks a bit more calm, and his power seems to be a bit more powerful than before.

In the more than a year since the founding of Konoha, Hanzo has been building a lot in Konoha and causing trouble in the shinobi world, and the fire daimyo has not been idle in the capital of fire.

Of course, his energy is mainly focused on rectifying those nobles who have become a little impatient after the death of the eldest brother.

However, after the financial aid from Daming Palace was in place, Hanzo also kept his original promise and supported Daming Palace behind the scenes.

With the support of Konoha and the help of the elders, the Fire Daimyo launched a set of punches, and the noble alliance, which was originally a ragtag group, immediately split into two groups.

Some nobles surrendered to the Dai Ming and became the eagle dogs under the Fire Dai Ming, including the several nobles who were accompanying the Fire Dai Ming at this moment.

Although some other nobles are still resisting, due to their own strength, they can only stay dormant temporarily.

Therefore, in general, the current Fire Capital is completely in the hands of the Fire Daiming.

However, the daimyo's current status depends largely on Konoha's support. Therefore, the fire daimyo will naturally not reveal his daimyo's genealogy in front of Hanzo.

"Hahahaha, Naruto, we have known each other for a long time. Why haven't we come to the City of Fire to get together for so long?" Fire Daimyo quickly walked up to Hanzo and complained seemingly regretfully.

Hearing this, Hanzo also had a smile on his face: "Daimyo-sama, please understand. After all, Konoha was first established and there are many things to do, so I really have no time to do anything else."

"I see, this is normal." The Fire Daimyo nodded to express his understanding, and the two of them immediately started chatting in front of the gate of Konoha.

After talking for a while, Hanzo said with a smile: "Lord Daimyo, and everyone else, let's not talk here. The village has prepared accommodation for you. Come with me."

"Then please ask the Hokage to lead the way." The Fire Daimyo responded with a smile, and then led several nobles and followed Hanzo towards the village.

After the Fire Daimyo arrived in Konoha, high-ranking officials and nobles from other major countries also arrived in Konoha, including Konoha's allies, the Daimyo of the Uzumaki Country also came to Konoha in person.

Most of these nobles did not come alone, but came with a large number of attendants, and because of the influx of these wealthy people, many businessmen came to Konoha.

For a time, Konoha Village became completely lively. Fortunately, in the past year, Konoha invested enough money in the construction of the village. Otherwise, Konoha may not be able to absorb such an influx of people.

Come down.

As time passed day by day, the final test of the first Chunin Exam finally arrived.

"Teacher Chun, is this the examination room for the main exam? It looks much more luxurious than the preliminaries." On the viewing platform of the examination room, Masaki, who came to watch the competition, turned to Uchiha Jun next to him and said.

After half a month of training, Masaki's injuries have fully recovered. Genji like him, who was eliminated in the first round of the qualifiers, and the guidance jounin of the reference team, Genji also prepared for them

Dedicated viewing area.

"Of course." Uchiha Jun nodded and said, "I heard that most of the special funds approved by Elder Takezono to the Ministry of Education were spent on this examination room."

If the examination room for the preliminaries looks quite satisfactory, then the main examination room, built under Hanzo's suggestion and somewhat similar to the style of the ancient Roman arena, looks much more grand.

"I don't know how Hao and Ryoka are doing." After looking around the examination room, Masaki suddenly thought of his two shortlisted teammates.

"How do I know?" Uchiha Jun smiled and shook his head: "At that time, in the examination area, apart from the examiners, only the shortlisted genin can enter."

"Yes, it's such a pity, it's just a little bit short..." Masaki said, remembering his battle with Yanque in the preliminaries, and feeling somewhat unwilling to do so.

While the teachers and students were talking, on the other side, Genji was explaining the specific rules of the main selection to the shortlisted candidates in the waiting area.

At this time, Genji was holding a box in his hand and said to the ten genin in front of him: "In this box, there are numbers 1 to 10. Now you line up to come over with the ten numbered balls. Each person touches one, and then number 1 will play against number 10."

, No. 2 vs. No. 9, No. 3 vs. No. 8, and so on. Now, come over and draw the numbers."

After Genji finished speaking, the genin walked up to him and began to draw numbers one by one.

"No. 3?" Ryoka looked at the number ball in her hand, then turned to look at Uchiha Hao and said, "Hao, what's your number?"

"Here."

Uchiha Hao threw the number ball in his hand to Ryoka: "Nine? That's okay, at least we two didn't run into each other."

Ryoka glanced at Hao's number ball, then patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Indeed." Uchiha Hao also nodded.

Although both of them have entered the candidate list for promotion, the assessment for the main selection is no different from the usual competition, and the two still hope to avoid running into each other as much as possible.

Just as a group of genin were looking around, Genji spoke up again: "I guess you all know the order of your appearances. Just like the qualifiers, I will read your names in a moment, and you only have one minute to prepare. Remember

Yet?"

"Remember." The genin responded in unison.

"Yes." Genji nodded upon seeing this, and then disappeared into the examination waiting area.
