Konoha's four teams are now down to three, so it's fair to say that Konoha is the biggest winner of this match.

Sunagakure and Kumogakure each have one team remaining: Samui's team and the team led by the puppet girl that Kimimaro encountered earlier.

And her name is etched in the memories of many viewers.

Wakana, the new generation of puppeteer from Sunagakure!

The other two teams were simply incredibly lucky. Their strength wasn't outstanding among the nine teams, yet they still made it to the final round.

Luck is also a part of ability!

Although some people from ninja villages might be jealous of them, they are only jealous of their good luck!

Despite having a larger number of members, it was already quite good that they managed to retain three teams. If Kimimaro hadn't forcefully defeated the tenth eliminated team, the tenth team would probably have been composed of Konoha ninjas!

"The second competition has also successfully concluded. As I mentioned before, the team with the highest score will receive a special privilege: the right to choose their opponent!" Kurenai Yuhi said to the audience and Kimimaro's team.

"The opponent's choice..." Kimimaro's lips curled up, and his eagle-like eyes looked at Samui.

He had long wanted to avenge the last time he was attacked, and this privilege came at just the right time!

Kurenai Yuhi drew everyone's attention to Kimimaro and said, "Then let our two champion teams use their privileges!"

"I choose Samui from Kumogakure!" Kimimaro said coldly, his eyes revealing his fighting spirit without any attempt to conceal it.

Samui, equally eager for battle, looked at Kimimaro.

"As expected of Kimimaro!"

"Yes, I originally thought they would choose the weaker Yugakure or Smoke Village for a better chance of advancing!"

"The first show is going to be amazing, I definitely won't miss it!"

Tōne and Haku smiled slightly. After learning about the privilege, they knew that Kimimaro would definitely choose Samui.

"I choose Takamasa from Yugakure!"

"I choose Senri from the Hidden Mist Village!"

The two also decided on their opponents. Although they were both strong, they did not want to waste their energy in the previous matches.

The ninjas who were singled out by the two men turned pale and sighed helplessly. In particular, Takamasa from Yugakure was praying that he would run into a ninja from Smokegakure.

The ninjas of Yangakure are notoriously weak in the ninja world. Even Yugakure, which is also a weak village, could easily defeat them. But he never expected to be so unlucky as to be selected by Haku. It seems that even if he passes the first two tests, he will only be cannon fodder.

Then the giant crystal ball reappeared, displaying a screen resembling a slot machine, showing the portraits of the other contestants and spinning rapidly to select their opponents.

Soon, everyone's opponents were decided.

Moreover, unlike usual, this final match didn't give others time to prepare. Instead, the eight teams that had qualified for the competition only had an hour to rest before the match began.

7 PM!

The final stage of the Chunin Exams has officially begun!

The huge venue was brightly lit by many huge spotlights, and Kimimaro and Samui were the first to appear.

Kimimaro walked leisurely to the center of the arena with a calm and collected expression, his hands casually hanging at his sides. His eyes were fixed on Samui, who was filled with high fighting spirit.

A special Jonin came between the two, said some taboos in the competition, and then announced the start of the match.

“Come on!” Kimimaro said calmly.

"Okay, you'll regret it!"

Samui flipped his right hand, and a small knife gleaming with a cold light appeared in his palm. He then pushed off with his right foot and charged towards Kimimaro.

Although she knew Kimimaro's taijutsu was superb, she was also a taijutsu ninja and didn't know many ranged ninjutsu. Facing Kimimaro, she could only bite the bullet and charge forward.

Seeing Samui charging towards him, Kimimaro smiled excitedly and extended a bone blade from his palm to meet the attack.

He had been waiting for this moment for a long time!

From the very beginning, he unleashed his full potential, with every move and stance displaying remarkable sharpness.

The two men advanced and retreated simultaneously.

Faced with Kimimaro's powerful attacks, Samui could only retreat repeatedly, and cold sweat dripped down her face. Although she knew that Kimimaro's physical skills were very strong, the physical skills that Kimimaro was showing at this moment were three times stronger than before.

And they grow stronger with each battle!

"Short Sword - Rising Dragon!!"

A streak of blue lightning burst forth from the dagger in Samui's hand, slashing upwards towards Kimimaro.

Kimimaro had dealt with this move many times before. With a contemptuous smile, he swung his bone blade and struck Samui's hand.

pat!

Samui's knife fell to the ground. For a ninja skilled in weapons, losing his weapon is like losing an arm.

Without the knife, Samui's strength will decline considerably.

You've lost!

Kimimaro lashed out with his bone blade, intending to take down Samui in one blow.

But his bone blade sliced ​​through a puff of white smoke.

Substitution Jutsu!!

The Three Body Technique is the most basic technique in the ninja world. No ninja in the entire ninja world dares to say that they don't know this move. Even Rock Lee, who is said to have no chakra, can use the Substitution Technique, let alone Samui, whose strength has reached the level of Chunin.

"Tch!" Kimimaro snorted coldly in dissatisfaction.

If this move lands, Samui will definitely lose!

Not far behind Kimimaro, a blonde girl clutched her right arm, biting her lip as she looked at Kimimaro with resentment.

Although she dodged it, she was still hit. Even without the blade, the blow still hurt a lot!

"Cloud Flow..." A small knife reappeared on Samui's uninjured left hand, as he prepared to unleash his most powerful attack, but...

"Give up, I've seen through all your tricks!"

Kimimaro's voice appeared behind Samui. She looked at Kimimaro, who had his back to her, and in no time, Kimimaro turned into bones and fell to the ground.

Skeleton clones!

This is Kimimaro's unique clone technique, just like Wood Release and Ice Release clones, making it very difficult for people to detect that it is a clone!

“I…” Samui’s face showed dejection, the knife in his hand fell to the ground, and he whispered, “I lost…”

The first match has come to an end!

Contrary to what many people expected, there was no spectacular battle; Kimimaro won in just a brief moment.

Just like in the next two matches, Shiro and Tori easily won one of them.

Successfully advanced to the next battle!

Chapter 210 The Man in Black Robes Appears Again

The third round of the Ninja Exams was exciting, but not nearly as interesting as the first two. This round relied entirely on individual combat abilities, while the previous two rounds also depended on strength, but unpredictable developments could occur, since luck is also a part of strength!

The outcome of the third round was already decided from the beginning. Kimimaro easily won the championship of this exam, Shiro came in second, and Torune, also from their team, came in third.

It can be said that Konoha once again dominated this Chunin Exams!

Although the Fourth Raikage, A, was unwilling, he could only give up in the end.

The battles at night were even more spectacular, and this time, the Hidden Cloud Village truly stole the show.

One of the subordinates of the Fourth Raikage, A, really caught Zhang Ye's eye. Although he was young, he had a lot of potential for growth, especially since he was only 16 years old and could perfectly control two types of chakra and combine them into a bloodline limit.

If Taozi hadn't been able to control the cursed seal and prevent it from going berserk, the outcome would have been uncertain.

However, Sunagakure was somewhat disappointing, as it did not produce any particularly powerful ninjas.

The celebration ended two days after the Chunin Exams. The only thing that surprised Zhang Ye was that a bunch of rabble showed up at the end of the event!

The Taketori clan! !

They looked very similar to Kimimaro, except their hair was jet black and shiny. They spoke arrogantly and spouted nonsense in front of Zhang Ye.

"Lord Hokage, I've heard that there's a member of our Kaguya clan in your village. Please hand him over to them. He simply can't grow up here. Only we can help him grow perfectly and control his abilities even more effectively!" Kaguya clan leader Hirotomo said arrogantly.

Zhang Ye has a curse in his mind that he doesn't know whether he should say or not.

Taketori Hirotomo's guard frowned, a hint of disdain in his eyes, and shouted, "Didn't you hear us, clan leader? If you know what's good for you, hand Kimimaro over to us, or our Taketori clan will rule Konoha and slaughter every last one of you!!"

Looking at the arrogant members of the Kaguya clan, Zhang Ye's face twitched. Weren't the ninjas of Kusagakure supposed to be opportunists, wagging their tails like lapdogs in front of powerful people? How could the Kaguya clan from Kusagakure be so... idiots!

"Shut up! This is Konoha, not your Kusagakure. If you don't want to die, speak properly!" Shikaku narrowed his eyes, a faint killing intent emanating from him.

Despite Shikaku's usual aversion to trouble, he treats Konoha like his own wife. To the people of Konoha, insulting the Hokage is equivalent to insulting Konoha itself, so how could he possibly swallow such an insult?

Zhang Ye waved his hand, signaling Lu Jiu not to make such a big statement.

"Lu Jiu, haven't you ever heard the saying?"

"What?"

"If a dog bites you, are you going to bite it back? Remember, we are civilized people, and we should do things with virtue!" Zhang Ye said calmly.

Although Zhang Ye was also dissatisfied with the attitude of the Kaguya clan, he had many things to consider. Despite his current strength being quite formidable in the ninja world, he also had to consider whether the Kaguya clan had someone behind them, and whether that person wanted to instigate a fourth ninja war!

"You actually called us dogs?!" Taketori Hirotomo's eyes widened, veins bulging on his forehead. "You son of a bitch!!"

“Say it again if you dare!” Zhang Ye narrowed his eyes.

"I said..."

"Kill him!"

Whoosh!!

A black figure suddenly appeared and delivered a karate chop to the back of Taketori Hirotomo's neck. The latter's eyes rolled back, and he died right in front of Zhang Ye.

"How dare you..."

boom! !

Another crisp sound rang out. This time it wasn't the Anbu who made the move, but Shikaku. He formed the "Zi" seal with both hands, and the shadow beneath him immediately cleaved into a fist shape, slamming a punch into the man's body. The sound of bones shattering was extremely jarring.
