Saving the Uchiha clan starts with becoming the clan leader.

"Jifeng, the rest is up to you!" Zongxian didn't continue.

"Yes, Hokage-sama."

A Jonin standing to the left of Sogen stepped forward from the crowd. He had brown hair, a pale face, and dark circles under his eyes, indicating that he often stayed up late. He was wearing the standard uniform of a Konoha Jonin. He knelt on one knee in front of Sogen and loudly agreed.

Zongxian nodded, saying nothing more and not even glancing at the genin again. He formed a hand seal and used the Body Flicker Technique to appear in the corridor on the sculpture of the hand seal. He leaned on the railing and looked down at the genin in the hall.

The Jonin who had been lined up in a V-shape dispersed and returned to the corridors on both sides.

On the practice field,

Only Hayate Gekko and thirty-three genin remained.

"Hello, I am Hayate Gekko, and I will be hosting this preliminary round." Hayate Gekko calmly looked at the genin. "You have all understood the Hokage's explanation, so I will not repeat it here. I will just add some specific rules."

"The first two rounds of the exam were team competitions, and you had to work as a team to pass. But the preliminary rounds are different. This time, the battle is on an individual basis, which means that from now on you will have to fight alone. Everyone here could become your opponent."

"You can also choose to give up. If you choose to give up now, don't worry about it affecting your teammates. So, I'll give you three minutes to consider."

finished,

Hayate Gekko stopped speaking and patiently waited for the genin to make their choice.

"I... quit."

The one who raised her hand was a female Iwa ninja.

"You are Blue Cone from Iwagakure. You may leave now." Gekko Hayate checked the information on the roster of the Iwagakure ninja who had raised his hand against the information on the roster in his hand, and immediately allowed the Iwagakure ninja to leave. The people around watched coldly as the battered Iwagakure ninja limped away.

No one was surprised by her choice.

It would be more accurate to say that her giving up was a matter of course. Her Iwa ninja squad arrived at the tower yesterday, seemingly even earlier than Yakumo and the others, but her injuries were so severe that she was clearly here to avoid holding her teammates back, and had no choice but to stand here with great difficulty.

When Gekko Hayate announced that the battle would be fought on an individual basis, his withdrawal was to be expected.

"That wound... it's a bit strange!" Yakumo said softly, watching the Iwa ninja walk away. "It looks like it was cut a hundred or so times by a thin blade. Fujika, Hotaru, be careful of Suigetsu's teammates later."

"understood."

Wisteria yawned.

Ying nodded gently.

The others also whispered amongst themselves, having noticed the strange injuries on the departing female Iwa ninja.

Three minutes passed in a flash.

Apart from the Iwa ninja named Blue Cone, no one else chose to quit.

"No one has withdrawn? Then, the qualifiers shall begin immediately." Moonlight Gale put away the roster in his hand and pointed to the display screen hanging high above. "The order of the matches will be displayed on that screen."

When one of the Iwa genin left, the remaining thirty-two could be matched into sixteen groups. The proctors backstage quickly made adjustments, removing the name of the person who left and skipping the process of selecting a lucky winner. Then, the result, which was not entirely random, appeared on the electronic display screen as the chief proctor, Hayate Gekko, pointed.

This simple and clear row of characters came into view.

"Then, please have the two whose names are displayed come forward! The rest of you, please step back to the side corridors and observe." The examiner, Gekko Hayate, was also decisive and immediately issued the order, directing the genin present to move.

The boy and girl whose names were revealed didn't dare to delay and quickly stepped forward, not even having time to say a word to their teammates.

The remaining people went up the stairs to the adjacent corridor. The ninjas from the outer villages clearly divided themselves into small territories, while the Konoha ninjas gathered around their respective squad leaders, like birds returning to their nests. This was the advantage of being the host village; the other ninjas from the outer villages were still guarding their respective embassies.

Of course, the land use area is not as large as imagined.

Konoha already held an absolute advantage. Of the thirty-two genin, fifteen were Konoha ninja, nearly half. This meant the first round was essentially an internal conflict within Konoha, so there was no need for any further manipulation. The only thing the jonin could do was stubbornly defend their students in danger…

"Hotaru is too tired."

In the corridor, Yakumo frowned, looking at the situation on the field and said with resentment. He couldn't help but regret his entanglement with Gaara and the others in the second round of the selection exam. If it weren't for that fierce battle that lasted almost three days and three nights, which consumed too much energy and chakra.

Otherwise, given Ying's abilities,

Why rush into a desperate gamble?
