In Naruto, you can become a god through gacha pulls.

Soon, the last shadow, Fengying Luosha, was also in place, staring proudly at the two selected members on the stage.

Many other countries don't have a single member, but the Wind Country has two who made it into the competition.

To some extent, this can also reflect a country's strength.

Once Kazekage Rasa took his seat, the match officially began.

"Oh!" The screams from the audience rose and fell, catching Yoriichi's attention.

A gentle breeze caressed their faces as the trainees took the stage.

"The competition is about to begin. Announce the list of participants." Sarutobi Asuma, the chief referee of the final exam and son of the Third Hokage, announced from the center.

He was accompanied by other referees such as Might Guy, Kakashi Hatake, and Kurenai Yuhi, who were responsible for maintaining order on the field.

"Competition roster".

"There are twelve members in total. They are... Karin Uzumaki, Kozo of the Salamander, Temari, Suigetsu Hozuki, Kimimaro Kaguya, Jugo Tensei, Hydrangea, Deidara, Haku Minazuki, Naruto Uzumaki, Neji Hyuga..."

"And... Eri Kazuki!"

The fact that all twelve members were standing on the field caused everyone to gasp in surprise.

Tsunade looked at Naruto Uzumaki and Neji Hyuga, and then sighed softly as if she had suddenly remembered something.

Eri Fuugetsu was specially selected by her to participate in the finals.

The reason no exam was required was because the daimyo directly recommended him, and he passed all of Tsunade's tests.

As for Uchiha Sasuke, he was indeed strong enough, but one day, someone made her give up the idea of ​​raising Sasuke's level.

The audience below the stage looked on with confusion at the newly appeared pretty girl character.

In previous years, there wouldn't have been anyone like this, entering the finals without even taking the exam.

Many of Sasuke Uchiha's fans didn't look too happy because this whole thing was just too absurd to them.

The final spot should, in the end, be given to Uchiha Sasuke, who performed the best.

"It seems that the death of one of the Hydrangea's companions created a vacancy in the final assessment, coupled with the Daimyo's requirements..." someone in the know said.

"Hmph... I'd like to see how this Eri Kazuki performs. She'll just have to make a fool of herself among all the ninjas! The privileged class!"

The audience below the stage were dissatisfied, but there was nothing they could do.

Although Sasuke Uchiha was excellent, he ultimately lost to Hydrangea and missed the finals.

At that moment, Sasuke and Sakura were sitting in the guest seats watching Naruto.

"All we can do is cheer him on."

Finally, the controversial voices were interrupted by Sarutobi Asuma.

Because he began announcing the final list of competitors.

"Salamander with a hidden heart vs. Deidara".

"Hydrangea vs. Hozuki Suigetsu".

"Temari vs. Libra Jugo".

"Naruto Uzumaki vs. Kimimaro Kaguya".

"Minazuki Haku VS Hyuga Neji".

"Karin Uzumaki vs. Erii Fuugetsu".

The announcement of the competition roster caused a huge uproar.

According to the competition rules, members of the same ninja village should avoid being opponents, so that all members can relax and focus on the competition.

This was proposed by Yoriichi to Tsunade.

His purpose was naturally to prevent his own people from harming each other in a reckless manner.

Tsunade felt there was no problem, so she had members from different ninja villages in different pits, and then randomly assigned them at the end.

Sasuke, standing on the stage, frowned as he looked at the distribution.

Can Hozuki Suigetsu really win against that incredibly strong Hydrangea?

Chapter 272 A Good Start

The first match began quickly, with Deidara facing off against Samurai Hidden Heart.

The two shook hands, and the match was about to begin.

Sanshoku's expression was still quite respectful. The other party was a guy from the Hidden Village who was with Hozuki Suigetsu's group, and his strength was definitely not weak.

I don't know why, even though it's still a bit warm, the other person is wrapped up very warmly.

Her outfit was completely winter-like, and most importantly, her face wasn't even showing.

It's like hiding your identity.

Sanshoku stopped thinking about it. He understood that people from different countries had their own unique characteristics.

However, in the last match, this guy defeated his opponent, Akimichi Choji, in a single move, which was truly astonishing.

Presumably, his opponent had already learned about his ability before the match—the ability to manipulate toxins. This ability was originally an information gap, but once it was known, its effectiveness was greatly reduced.

This is something that really bothers Cangxin.

Thinking about it that way, who knows, maybe the mask the other person is wearing is a gas mask...

If you put yourself in his shoes, you'll suddenly feel a little smug. Even the big shots of Yinyin Village have to be on guard when they see him?

My own skill level...

Deidara looked on speechlessly, while Zang Xin, who was facing him, had a smile playing on his lips for some reason.

"Let's begin." Deidara gave a special reminder, and Kuranoshin, having regained his composure, ignited a fighting spirit in his eyes!

Come on! Let me see just how powerful the big boss of Shadow Village is.

However, just as he was slightly stunned, Deidara began to form hand seals, and Earth Release: Swamp of the Underworld dragged Zang Xin into the ground from bottom to top!

"Hiss..." Luo Sha on the stage looked somewhat panicked.

"Kuangxin, how careless of you." At the same time, Rasa also glanced briefly at Yoriichi.

Is this a newcomer trained by this guy? He's so decisive in his actions.

Just as the referee was observing the situation and determining whether Cang Xin still had the ability to fight, a giant salamander emerged directly from within!

A heavy breathing sound came from inside. Zangxin and the salamander had merged, and Zangxin opened his eyes wide and began to breathe heavily.

"When?" Cang Xin couldn't believe it. Before he could even react, he was dragged inside by earth magic.

"But this situation won't happen again!" Zang Xin gritted his teeth and controlled the salamander to prepare to spew poison mist at Deidara!

"We must win!" Zang Xin roared inwardly, while Yoriichi on the stage immediately burst out laughing.

"It's absolutely ridiculous."

"Boom!" Just as the salamander began to move, a bomb that appeared out of nowhere suddenly detonated inside its body.

A deafening roar stunned Cang Xin, followed by the salamander's skin continuously expanding and bursting.

"BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!" A series of explosions came from the salamander's body, the loud noise even drowning out the gasps of surprise from the audience.

Luo Sha was shocked. "What happened?"

Yoriichi smiled faintly, "I'm sorry, Rasa-senpai, my subordinates will win this time."

Luo Sha stared in astonishment as the salamander below the stage was blown to pieces. Then, as the black smoke dissipated, it revealed a salamander with its head sticking out, its eyes white and smoke billowing from its mouth.

Unexpectedly, Cang Xin was instantly killed in the powerful explosion.

The referee widened his eyes, carefully observed the hidden intentions, and finally announced:

"The winner of this competition is... Didira!"

Deidara stood on the stage, feeling the amazement and cheers around him, and finally calmly walked off the stage.

He hid all the explosives in the Yellow Springs Swamp, meaning that once he entered the swamp, all the bombs would be buried around him. Then he transformed into a salamander, and the explosives appeared inside the salamander's body. After detonating, he achieved victory.

After the medical staff removed Zang Xin from the field, the next match was about to begin.

Luo Sha's hands trembled slightly, and a few drops of clear sweat appeared on his brow.

Although he had considered the possibility of losing the match, Luo Sha never imagined that he would lose so easily.

How did Uchiha Yoriichi manage to raise these monsters?

This person's strength is far beyond that of a genin. Although it is called the Chunin Exams, this exam has long become a showcase for the future rising stars of various ninja villages.

The strength of the students displayed by Uchiha Yoriichi far surpassed that of any other major power, reaching an extremely terrifying level.

Luo Sha kept his head down quietly, his face contorted with rage, yet he dared not deny it.

"The next match is between Mizuki Haku and Hyuga Neji."

The two entered the arena, shook hands, and Neji gave Haku a deep look before activating his Byakugan.

The opponent is a member of a powerful bloodline limit, and should not be underestimated.

Thinking of this, Neji immediately stepped forward and attacked.

On the field, Tsunade looked extremely flustered. She placed her hands on the table, hiding her mouth inside, and watched the match intently.

Hyuga Neji is Konoha's most outstanding genius. His advancement was due to his strength, aside from luck.

Tsunade wanted to see if Neji could fight against the rising star ninja of the Hidden Shadows Village, or if he would be easily defeated.

Neji activated his Byakugan in advance, and he could clearly see the surrounding scenery, including the signs of chakra on Haku's body.

As long as he can touch Bai, he has a 100% chance that he can seal the opponent's acupoints, as long as he can successfully strike the acupoints.

That would basically force Haku, who can't use chakra, to step down.

Let's win a victory for Konoha!

Neji Hyuga's face was extremely resolute.

His gaze was fixed on the white in the distance.
