The train stopped at the platform.

After the door of the carriage opened, the candidates taking the third exam walked out of the carriage one after another.

The day-long long journey is finally over... Although there is a comfortable lounge on the train and even many delicious food are fully equipped, many people still feel unaccustomed to always staying in a small environment.

The reason is that as ninjas, they have long been accustomed to living in the open, and if they are suddenly placed in a comfortable environment, they will instinctively feel uncomfortable.

Walking out of the carriage, Yi Ji began to count the number of people, and found that there was no one missing, so she said: "Follow me next, and remember not to fall behind. If you accidentally lose it, it will be very troublesome to find it."

With that said, she led the way and started to leave through the safe passage.

Because we had already greeted everyone here, no one else used this exit except their group.

As I walked outside without any obstruction, the noisy sound reached my ears, and I saw a scene of huge crowds of people in front of me.

People who come to the Kingdom of Ghosts for the first time are shocked.

"So many people!"

Although the Ninja Village is large in scale and has entertainment areas such as commercial streets, no matter how large the Ninja Village is, it will inevitably be at a disadvantage when compared with the capital of a country.

As for the ninja village in a small country, it goes without saying that there may not even be a commercial street, just a small military base, and it can be declared as a ninja village.

What's more, they are now coming to Ziyuan City, which has the most complete and advanced industrialization in the ninja world and is known as the commercial capital.

As the integrated center of culture, politics, commerce, military and other fields in the Kingdom of Ghosts, the scale of Ziyuan City has undergone many adjustments and expansions in the past ten years.

In order to facilitate expansion at any time, the outermost protective wall was also removed.

Although it is called the city of commerce, commerce is just one of the developed fields.

Even so, with this gimmick, countless businessmen come here every year, which has brought about the development of various industries, making travelers from abroad come in an endless stream.

Therefore, the candidates from all over the world who had just come out of the passage, except for the local candidates from the Kingdom of Ghosts who were accustomed to the environment here, were all extremely surprised.

Especially Toss and others who were born in Otonigakure, a ninja village in a small country, felt the gap between small countries and big countries.

In comparison, Otogakure, which does not even have a so-called commercial street, is just a hastily constructed small village.

There are no ordinary residents inside, and there are no entertainment facilities. Except for the training ground, it is the experimental base, or the cells where the experimental subjects are held... The overall atmosphere is very depressing.

Thinking of this, the three of Toss are a little autistic.

However, the three of them quickly cheered up and the country became prosperous... but it could not fully represent the strength of the ninjas.

They are elites selected from hundreds of Otogakure genin. In terms of strength, they are not inferior to the ninjas of the great powers. They will definitely be able to defeat all the enemies in this game and let the Lord invest more in them.

look.

This is the only way for them, as adopted orphans, to repay.

"This place is really great. Should we stay here next?"

Seeing such a bustling city, Naruto couldn't wait to shout.

Although the others also expressed their intentions, they restrained themselves at least, unlike Naruto who unleashed his nature anytime and anywhere, as if he didn't know what politeness meant.

"Just be quiet. I know this place is very attractive, but don't forget the purpose of your coming here. The village arranged for you to come here, not to give you a tour, Naruto."

Kakashi held Naruto down and lectured him helplessly.

"What does it matter? After all, they have been nervous for so many days. It wouldn't be a bad thing to let them relax."

Asma who came with him lit a cigarette and put it in his mouth, smiled and said.

"You are really big-hearted, Asuma."

"Even ninjas need to relax sometimes and can't be stressed all the time."

"That is to say, Kakashi-sensei, you have no idea how hard we worked before."

Kakashi shrugged Naruto's accusation and didn't take it seriously.

Soon, a large passenger bus stopped in front of the square.

This is undoubtedly a relatively new thing for people who don’t know the situation in the Kingdom of Ghosts.

Under Yi Ji's arrangement, everyone boarded the bus in an orderly manner and headed towards the center of Ziyuan City.

Naruto and the others were dazzled by the high-rise buildings along the way. There were movie trailers on the huge billboards.

Attract the attention of passers-by.

Although there is also a movie theater in Konoha Village, compared to the one here, its appearance is inferior.

About half an hour later, the bus finally arrived at its destination.

It is a relatively good hot spring hotel.

As the organizer, it is natural to be responsible for the food and accommodation of the candidates. In addition to the food and accommodation, if the candidates have other needs, they can only pay for it out of their own pockets. They do not want to eat free food in the hotel, or do not want to live in a free hotel.

Hotels can also be paid for at your own expense.

After Yiji assigned the rooms, she did not let the candidates move around freely. Instead, she gathered them in a hall on the second floor and said in a calm tone: "Before moving around freely, there is one thing I want you to know. That is

Regarding the third open game, there will be some changes."

"Change? We haven't heard about this."

Temari frowned and said.

Yi Ji replied with the same tone: "That's because the superiors feel that thirty candidates participating in the open competition are too many. Therefore, in order to reduce the unnecessary load, the superiors decided that before the official open competition,

A one-on-one elimination qualifier will be held first, and then fifteen people will be determined to participate in the third official open competition."

"What?"

The candidates were all surprised, even Feiniao and others were surprised, they only knew about this.

"Why do you think there are too many people? If so, extending the time is the safest way, right?"

Even Shikamaru felt a little dissatisfied.

After finally passing the first and second exams, he now had to go through the so-called preliminaries before taking the third exam. This made many genin candidates, including him, feel depressed.

"You have also heard that during the official competition, there will be big names from various countries in the ninja world coming to visit...

Those people’s time is very precious, so there will be a time limit for the official open competition. If thirty people participate together, it may become redundant.”

Yi Ji said without changing her tone.

Even the Jonin who followed him frowned slightly.

"why is it like this?"

The candidates were filled with sorrow.

Naruto said nonchalantly: "In other words, as long as you win one more game, you can take the third exam, right?"

No one could deny Naruto's words.

But not everyone has his courage and confidence.

"Kakashi, your student is very good."

Metkai patted Kakashi on the shoulder, approving of Naruto's confidence.

No matter what, the ninja just needs to face the difficulties.

Instead of complaining here and bargaining with Kazuki, a jounin, it is better to get ready as soon as possible and prepare for the next qualifying match.

"Well, this kid's brain is indeed a bit abnormal and he doesn't like to take the ordinary path. After all, he was rated as the No. 1 ninja in unexpectedness when he was in the ninja school."

Kakashi replied calmly.

From a mental point of view, Naruto is indeed the kind of ninja who has a strong ability to withstand pressure.

No matter when, Kakashi never saw Naruto get discouraged.

Should I say he is really brave and fearless, or he is just crazy?

Although there are certain flaws in his character, this strong mentality of being fearless of all challenges is worth learning and emulating by many ninjas.

As for ability to do things... forget it.

Looking at Naruto's fearless and confident smile that day, Yiji also smiled and said: "That's right, as long as you win one more game, you can take the third exam. After all, the people above also think that among you,

, there are still some fish that slip through the net, so we need to kick out some weak candidates and prohibit them from taking the third exam."

The undisguised contempt made most of the candidates glare at Yiji.

It's just that due to the strength of the other jounin, no one dared to take the lead. They just kept complaining about the chuunin exam in their hearts.

"That's it. Now do you have any questions? If you still have questions, I will answer them one by one."

Yiji glanced at all the candidates.

You have said it so clearly, who has any objections? Many candidates complained in their hearts.

I know it's impossible to bargain with the organizer on this matter.

If the organizers of Ghost Country dare to do this, they must have negotiated with the villages behind them in advance.

Their opinions don't matter at all.
