"It's time."
Kakashi looked at the twenty candidates in the painting, including Naruto and Hinata, and then quickly walked down to them.
Large curtains were raised on all sides of the examination place, and the image of the central square was immediately projected onto them.
Because of the large size of this place, ordinary people simply will not be able to see the details, so large curtains were prepared on which the image will be projected.
In fact, this technology should not have been developed so early and widespread, but due to the demand for Kurama, technologies in this direction began to develop at a breakneck pace.
"Esteemed guests, thank you to everyone who decided to attend the Konoha Chuunin Examination! These are twenty candidates who have passed the strictest pre-selection, now they will participate in the open tournament!!!"
Kakashi's loud voice drowned out the shouts of the people, causing the noisy stands to gradually fall silent.
All the people were looking towards the central square or towards the curtains.
Looking around the stands, Kakashi turned to the candidates and said, "The final stage of the examination will be conducted one by one. The duel will not end until one of the parties surrenders or loses their fighting ability. I will interrupt the fight as soon as I decide that the winner has been determined, so you must not worry and freely resort to any attacks, even deadly ones."
"Then, the first battle begins."
"Hyuga Neji vs Nara Shikamaru, the other candidates must wait their turn at the edge of the square."
After Kakashi's words, Naruto and the others left, leaving only Shikamaru and Neji in the middle of the square.
After a brief battle, Shikamaru came to the conclusion that he had no way to defeat Neji and calmly admitted defeat.
This made Shikaku, who was sitting next to Yeruashi, shake his head helplessly.
He also wanted Shikamaru to do his best in front of the Hokage.
"Sometimes retreating is the best option."
Yeruashi smiled at Shikaku's reaction.
This was followed by Rock Lee's battle against Haku.
During the intense battle, Rock Lee opened the fifth gate and delivered several heavy blows to Haku, eventually they both collapsed at the same time.
Just when Kakashi was about to declare a draw, Rock Lee unconsciously stood up out of instinct.
Kakashi was very surprised and declared Rock Lee the winner.
Afterwards.
Temari and Sakura fought.
Among the candidates there were rather weak Genins like Sakura and strong ones like Haku.
The nobles and daimyos watched these battles with great pleasure.
But there were quite a few women in the stands who didn't care much about the battles in the square, and instead watched Yeruashi from time to time, especially the women sitting in the stands not far from him.
"The genins of Konoha are very strong..."
"You're right, they are much stronger than my guards, you can always rely on the Shinobi of Konoha."
The nobles and Daimyos happily discussed past battles. To them, as regular customers of Konoha, the power of a Shinobi meant trustworthiness, which would naturally have an impact on the amount of payment.
Time flew by.
After nine battles, it was finally time for the last couple to attract the most attention from the start.
Naruto Namikaze!
Hyūga Hinata!
The son of the Fourth Hokage, who is said to have inherited the will and talent of Konoha's Yellow Flash, and the eldest daughter of the Hyuga Clan Chieftain, who is one of the Fifth Hokage's two students!
Uchiha Itachi, Yeruashi's first disciple, already gained considerable fame in the Shinobi world and, as expected, Hyuga Hinata should be no worse off either.
Naruto looked at Hinata, who was ten meters away from him, and raised his fists, "You are really very strong, but don't you dare to underestimate me and fight with all your might.... Because I'm much stronger than Sasuke!"
On the giant screens, Naruto's face was shown in the foreground, and his voice was amplified and spread across the stands.
Sasuke's face, sitting somewhere in the corner, went pitch black.
If it hadn't been during the final stage of the Chuunin exam, Sasuke would have already run to the square and tried to beat Naruto to a pulp.
"Sensei is looking at me."
Hinata assumed Juken's pose and said firmly, "I won't disappoint sensei, so I'm sorry."
When Kakashi waved his hand, giving the signal to start the battle, Hinata immediately threw a powerful chakra fluctuation, causing the ground under her feet to be covered with many small cracks, which spread like a spider web from Hinata's feet in all directions.
This fierce fluctuation of chakra caused a strong gust of wind to sweep the stands.
The expressions of many of the aristocrats and shinobi in the stands changed dramatically.
Whoosh!
Hinata took a step.
She struck out with the palm of her hand.
Her palm crashed through the air and formed a large palm print, several times the size of the one that appeared during the battle with Sasuke.
The palm print ran towards Naruto.
Naruto's eyes snapped open sharply.
"What the hell?!"
Hinata definitely didn't show that much strength during the battle with Sasuke!
Naruto was stunned to see a huge palm print running in his direction, and without hesitation, he folded a series of seals, "Seal! Open!"
Boom!!!
With the expansion of the string of black symbols, a powerful fluctuation of chakra also erupted from Naruto's body, causing the ground beneath his feet to crack.
Naruto raised his hand and with a massive flow of chakra, formed a huge Rasengan, several meters in diameter.
"Super Great Ball Rasengan!!!"
Naruto's huge Rasengan collided with Hinata's palm print.
Boom!!!
There was a great roar and a violent gust of wind swept in all directions.
Sasuke's face froze.
Sakura, Neji and the others opened their mouths wide.
The expressions of the aristocrats and Daimyos from different regions of the Land of Fire became strange.
At this moment, they only wanted to shout out one sentence.
This is... a Genin of Konoha?!!
"This is too much, brother."
Kakashi looked irritatedly at Yeruashi in the stands and it just so happened that Yeruashi also looked at him and smiled.
The moment their eyes met, invisible arcs of lightning seemed to intertwine in the air.
Although they couldn't hear each other due to the distance, just exchanging glances was enough.
Kakashi: Is this Senjutsu? What the hell is the Sage Body's aura coming out of Hinata?!
Yeruashi: Can we start by talking about the Asura chakra?
"..."
The corners of Kakashi's mouth twisted and his face darkened.
Looking at Naruto, Kakashi felt that his student might be severely beaten.
Although Naruto still has the trump card they prepared the last day before the exam, Hinata, controlled a large amount of Hamura chakra by relying on the Sage Body, definitely not something the current Naruto could resist.
Naruto made a move!
Naruto created shadow clones!
Naruto used a series of Super Great Rasengan Ball!
Boom!
Naruto's shadow clones have been destroyed!
Buzz!
Naruto used Rasen Shuriken!
Buzz!!!
The thrown Rasen Shuriken was destroyed by Hinata!
Whoosh!
Naruto retreated!
Hinata ran towards Naruto!
A terrifying roar could be heard from the central square.
The ground shook violently, as if an earthquake was about to occur, and powerful shockwaves rolled in all directions again and again.
The expressions on many of the spectators' faces were harsh.
Konoha... You call these little monsters Genins?!
Kakashi had already activated the Rinnegan and was watching the battlefield intently, he feared that without the Rinnegan he would not be able to intervene in the battle in time.
From the point of view of the Rinnegan, it was possible to see things that were not visible to ordinary people.
Kakashi could clearly see how the Asura chakra attached to Naruto formed an invisible, illusory image of Asura behind his back.
On the other hand.
Behind Hinata, an illusory image of Hamura Ootsutsuki was formed.
Although these illusory images were completely calm, showing no emotion, but Kakashi somehow felt that the illusory figure of Hamura Ootsutsuki, all this time looked condescendingly at the illusory figure of Asura behind Naruto, saying something like:
How are you?
Little nephew?
