Cos Wuzan, was stabbed ten times by Heize at the beginning

Thinking of the Two-Tails' chakra he had sensed that day, Gyūki hesitated and said, "The Two-Tails might not have been forced."

Killer Bee: "..."

What does that mean?

Could it be that the Two-Tails deliberately went into Rei Amamiya's body?

Does this sound like a word?

Chapter 267 The Power of Rumors?

Time quickly passed to the fifth day of the official third exam.

Almost at dawn, the wind sweeping in from the sea dispersed the fog that shrouded Kirigakure.

Sunlight pierced through the thin mist, casting shimmering gold on the stone tower spire of Misty Village.

At this moment, the docks of Kirigakure were crowded with all kinds of ships and countless people.

The sails of the ships were embroidered with the symbols of various countries, and people were constantly disembarking from the ships.

To prepare for this special day, the vendors of Kirigakure got up early and set up various stalls on the main street of Kirigakure.

To attract customers, vendors display signs saying "Specialty Products of the Land of Water" at their stalls, hoping to draw in tourists from outside the Land of Water.

The children loved the lively atmosphere and darted through the gaps in the crowd, bursting into cheerful laughter.

Sometimes they would wander up to the gates of Kirigakure and block the way for the guests, and then be grabbed by the back of the collar and thrown back to their parents by patrolling Kirigakure ninjas.

The wide central street of Kirigakure was so crowded that it was difficult to find a place to stand.

Compared to before, Kirigakure is now completely transformed.

On the second floor, Ji Zhi looked at the lively scene before him and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

To prepare for this day, he rented quite a few shops in Kirigakure. Half of the shops open on the main street were rented by him. Once he decided what kind of business he wanted to do, he hired people to help him run the shops.

Those who could come to Kirigakure to watch the third exam were all wealthy people, and money flowed steadily into Jizhi's pockets.

"Wow, so many people!"

Across from this place, the window of the hotel room on the second floor was pushed open by Suzuran Kaede.

Kaede Suzuran leaned against the window, looking down with a gleam in her eyes and her face full of excitement.

"Captain, will they all be watching our exam later?"

Suzuran Kaede turned around, looked at the captain in the room, and asked.

Rei Amamiya nodded at her: "That's right, so you all better perform well today."

Uchiha Itachi and Byakuya Shigure were carefully examining their respective ninja tool bags when they heard this. They both looked up at Amamiya Rei and assured her, "We'll definitely do our best!"

Rei Amamiya smiled as she looked at the solemnity on their faces.

Just then, a startled cry came from the window.

"I see the daimyo's convoy!"

Unable to contain her curiosity, Shirayuki Shigure also ran to the window and looked down.

The daimyo's caravan was large and luxurious, and people on the street immediately made way for it.

Suzuran Kaede's lips parted slightly as she watched, her nervousness rising at the thought of performing in front of the daimyo and so many people.

"Are you ready?"

Rei Amamiya stood up and asked Itachi Uchiha and the other two.

They nodded and answered in unison, "Ready."

"It's almost time, let's head to the exam hall!"

Rei Amamiya said to them, then turned and opened the door, heading downstairs.

Itachi Uchiha and the other two followed behind Rei Amamiya.

On his way to the Broken Blade Arena, Rei Amamiya noticed that quite a few people were still talking about him.

"Wow! The trees on the coastline must have been created by Rei Amamiya, a Wood Release ninja from Konoha!"

"It should be!"

"How magnificent!"

"Yes! But is this really something a human could do?"

"What nonsense are you talking about! Countless people saw it with their own eyes!"

"The people of Kirigakure and many people from the Land of Water have said that Rei Amamiya simply waved his hand, and these trees grew from the seabed!"

"It grew with just a gentle wave of the hand?"

"That's right! Isn't that amazing!"

"That's amazing!"

"..."

As the rumors around him grew increasingly exaggerated, Rei Amamiya's expression became subtle.

Although he always knew that rumors would become distorted in the later stages of their spread, he did not expect them to become so distorted!

It grows with just a wave of the hand?

Even Hashirama Senju couldn't do that!

Of course, Rei Amamiya really looks forward to the day when his chakra is so abundant that he can grow countless towering trees with a mere wave of his hand!

"Humph!"

As Kaede Suzuran listened to their words, she couldn't help but proudly raise her head.

Her face was full of smugness.

That's right!

Tremble!

That's the captain's skill!

This is the power of Konoha!

Other ninja villages can only envy this!

Listening to the discussions around him, Shirayuki Shigure couldn't help but feel a little proud.

How could I not be proud?

Their captain was the one who received the most praise.

Rei Amamiya looked at the giant tree that even the walls of Kirigakure couldn't block, and thought that he should have completed Hiruzen Sarutobi's mission.

Itachi Uchiha may not have won, but at least he won, clearly demonstrating Konoha's formidable strength.

"Is this the Broken Blade Arena?"

Suzuran Kaede stood at the main entrance, staring at the gray-black building in front of her, and exclaimed in amazement.

Rei Amamiya nodded: "We've arrived."

The Broken Blade Arena is a massive, gray-black building, resembling a giant beast crouching over Kirigakure.

The gray-black wall is hundreds of meters high and covered with grooves. Seven strangely shaped knife-blade sculptures stand at the ten-meter-wide gate.

People surged into the Broken Blade Arena like a rising tide.

Rei Amamiya and the others were also in the crowd.

After entering the Broken Blade Arena, the crowd split into two groups, heading towards the circular staircases on the left and right sides behind the gate and up to the stands.

The stands of the enormous Broken Blade Arena were packed with people; the Broken Blade Arena was larger than Uchiha Itachi and his companions had ever imagined.

According to the rules, everyone except the genin participating in the competition must go to the stands.

This includes the instructors who lead the genin.

"team leader……"

Seeing that Rei Amamiya was about to leave, Suzuran Kaedein became nervous for some reason.

Rei Amamiya heard her trembling voice and placed his hands on her shoulders: "Remember, there's nothing to be nervous about. Suzuran, your gaze should not linger on anyone other than the enemy."

"Neither fame nor the audience matters."

"Only your enemies are the most important; you must always keep your attention on them."

"How to defeat them is what you should be thinking about right now, not any other superfluous thoughts."

Rei Amamiya stared into Suzuran Kaedein's eyes and emphasized, "Do you understand?"

Suzuran Kaede took a deep breath, looked at the captain, and nodded heavily: "I understand, Captain!"

What famous name? What kind of audience?

None of that matters!

The important thing is, this is a battle!

She will win, just like she has in every battle before!

Rei Amamiya walked towards the stands. As the Jonin leading the team of Genin participating in the third exam, his position was not an ordinary one, but the same one as Mei Terumi, who was the Mizukage.

Chapter 268 The Melee Begins!!!

In the Broken Blade Arena, Ayagi Rui and her two companions, along with Kei Ren and her two companions, have all made their appearance.

Footsteps could be heard behind Rei Amamiya.

He looked back and saw that Mei Terumi and Killer Bee had both gone up to the stands.

However, Killer Bee's gaze upon him was somewhat strange.

Rei Amamiya greeted Mei Terumi, then her gaze fell on Killer Bee.

What's wrong with Kirabi?

Rei Amamiya couldn't figure it out, so she simply stopped thinking about it.

He sat down in the chair behind him.

Mei Terumi, the Mizukage, walked to the center of the main stands. She removed her Mizukage hat, her long hair flying in the air, and her clear voice reached the ears of all the spectators.

"I am Mei Terumi, the Fifth Mizukage of Kirigakure!"

"I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all the distinguished daimyo, representatives from various ninja villages, and guests for attending the third session of the Chunin Exams held in Kirigakure!"

Mei Terumi's gaze swept across the entire Broken Blade Arena.

She said slowly:

"The Chunin Exams are a long-standing tradition in the ninja world. They are not only a testing ground for selecting talents, but also a bond for maintaining peace between countries."

"These young ninjas will risk their lives and dignity here."

"The blood and sweat they shed will become the rain and dew that nourish the ninja world."

"I swear in the name of the Fifth Mizukage—"

"The Hidden Mist Village will defend the fairness of the exam with their lives!"

The daimyo in the VIP seats all turned their attention to Mei Terumi.

"This newly appointed Mizukage seems quite impressive!"

"Yes! Very much in the style of a water shadow!"

"..."

There was thunderous applause.

After the applause and cheers subsided for a while, Mei Terumi continued:

"Next, I will reiterate the rules for this exam!"
