Chapter 256 It won't waste too much time
With a cool expression, Uzuki Yugao sat down next to Shirokumo Aoba.
Then he began to examine Xiao Nan in front of him.
She remembered that the other person always wore that black robe, so why was she suddenly in the mood to wear a skirt today?
"Good morning, Miss Nan."
"Morning... good morning."
Konan's complicated thoughts were suddenly interrupted, and she also greeted Uzuki Yugao.
Uzuki Yugao nodded, then reached out and pinched Shirokumo Aoba's cheek.
Why didn't you invite me to breakfast alone?
"The teacher needed to talk to me earlier. Didn't I tell you to come and eat first?"
Baiyun Qingye offered a helpless explanation.
"Really? Maybe I was sleeping too soundly and didn't hear you."
Uzuki Yugao didn't retract her hand; she stretched out her other hand as well, kneading and flattening the dough.
Click!
The crisp sound rang out suddenly, like a thunderclap from a clear sky.
The chopsticks in Xiao Nan's hand broke in two.
With a cold expression, she took out a piece of paper and cleaned up the soup on the table, then casually threw the broken chopsticks into the trash can.
"Sister Xiao Nan, are you alright?"
Bai Yun Qingye looked at the other person with a puzzled expression.
Xiao Nan gently shook her head, then wiped non-existent sweat from the tip of her nose with a tissue, and said with a smile, "The ramen was a bit too spicy, I accidentally got a sore throat and couldn't control my strength."
"I see."
Baiyun Qingye handed her another pair of chopsticks, pointed to the ramen in front of her, and said with a smile, "Sister Xiaonan, I haven't touched this bowl yet. If you don't mind, you can try mine."
Xiao Nan: "So what are you going to eat?"
"I……"
"It's okay, Aoba can eat with me."
Uzuki Yugao helped Shirakumo Aoba push the ramen in front of Konan.
"..."
Xiao Nan stared blankly at the ramen in front of her, neither speaking nor making a move.
A moment of silence.
She stood up.
She took out a handkerchief and wiped her rosy, full lips.
"No need, I'm already full. See you next time, Aoba."
After saying that, she walked outside.
For some reason, Xiao Nan suddenly became very irritable.
Saying that something is your favorite is probably just polite talk.
Once Uzuki Yugao sat down, he could only see her.
And watching Uzuki Yugao do whatever she wanted to Shirokumo Aoba's face.
Xiao Nan was filled with envy.
What's wrong with her?
"Sister Xiaonan..."
Shirokumo Aoba wanted to chase after her, but was stopped by the kind-looking Uzuki Yugao who took her arm.
"Aoba, you're really popular with your older sister."
……
Time flew by and it was already afternoon.
All the genin who passed through the Forest of Death gathered in the central training room inside the tower.
Besides these, there are only the Jonin leading each team and the referees in charge of the matches.
There was a circle of empty audience seats around the perimeter.
Tsunade stood on the high platform wearing the Hokage's divine robes.
Behind her stood Kakashi Hatake, Asuma Sarutobi, Yamato, Kurenai Yuhi, Yugao Uzuki, and other Jonin leading the team, as well as the examiners.
The Jonin lined up, staring solemnly at the qualified candidates below the stage.
Because it was a formal occasion, Tsunade didn't have her usual lazy demeanor; instead, she exuded a decisive and efficient aura.
She stepped forward and solemnly said, "Next is the third preliminary round. Only the winner can participate in the third exam and have the opportunity to become a Chunin."
The third exam was also an individual competition, but it was more of an exhibition match.
This exam will attract a large audience, including not only commoners but also daimyo and nobles.
The Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, will also be watching.
As for who will ultimately become a Chunin, it's not about who is the strongest.
Instead, the judges will assess whether a ninja is qualified to become a Chunin by observing their combat performance.
After all, ninja teams that can get through the Forest of Death are basically all Chunin level.
Tsunade has never liked formalism, so her speeches are very concise.
After saying a few words, he handed over the floor to the referee, Moonlight Gale.
"Ahem... Hello everyone... Ahem... I am Gekko Hayate... Ahem... I will now explain the preliminary rounds."
Moonlight Gale can cough three times in a single sentence.
He spoke calmly and slowly, but the many ninjas listening below were getting impatient.
The main concern is that the opponent might die on the field.
"As a referee... cough cough..."
Moonlight Gale continued, "First, never act impulsively; second, never overlook any wrongdoing; third, ensure absolute fairness and impartiality in judging..."
"..."
After briefly explaining the rules...
The moonlight and the swift wind paused for a moment, scanning all the candidates present.
"Finally... cough cough... anyone who wants to quit, please raise your hand."
A moment of silence.
"No?"
He glanced at the crowd again.
After waiting for a while longer, still no one chose to quit.
"In that case, the preliminary rounds shall officially begin."
As soon as he finished speaking, the large screen behind him lit up, displaying names scrolling rapidly before finally freezing...
The genin on the field also left one by one, led by the jonin in charge, and walked to the surrounding audience seats to watch the battle between the genin.
It is worth mentioning that there were no internal conflicts among any members of Konoha in this preliminary round.
Sasuke, Naruto, Sakura, Yakumo, Hinata, and Karin all passed the preliminary rounds smoothly.
These guys can now defeat genin from other ninja villages as easily as eating and drinking.
Soon, the name on the screen changed again.
A weak voice rang out from the moonlight and the wind.
"Next match, Shirakumo Aoba will face Kankuro!"
"Is it my turn?"
Bai Yunqingye was somewhat surprised, not expecting it to be his turn so soon.
"Aoba, do your best!"
Every day, the girls cheered Baiyun Qingye on.
The girls who hadn't yet participated in the preliminaries breathed a sigh of relief, at least they wouldn't have to face off against Aoba.
Baiyun Qingye quickly walked to the center of the field.
the other side.
"Why is it me?!"
When Kankuro saw the competition list, his face fell.
Last time, I was punched to pieces, and a few days ago I saw the other party instantly kill nine Cloud Ninjas.
He felt like he was being targeted.
Temari shook her head and patted Kankuro's shoulder with a helpless expression.
"Good luck to you."
Gaara gave him the same cold look.
Kankuro felt as cold as a kunai.
The joys and sorrows of people are not connected.
While others are enjoying their company, a whole host of people are offering encouragement and blessings.
But when it came to him...
"Baiyun Qingye, although you are very strong, I am definitely not weak either. It's not certain who will win this match!"
Standing in the center of the field, Kankuro looked at Shirokumo Aoba and said resolutely.
Baiyun Qingye simply smiled.
"Don't worry, it won't waste too much time."
