Chapter 326 Additional Match

"Match 1: Konoha, Ebisu vs. Konoha, Genma Shiranui."

Upon hearing these two names, Genma and Ebisu in the crowd were both stunned.

"What's going on? The first match is an internal battle between the two of us?" Genma rubbed his hair helplessly.

Ebisu took a deep breath: "Genma, although we were comrades who fought together against the Silver Moon, I won't hold back on the path to becoming a Chunin!"

"Just what I wanted!"

"Second match: Konoha's Sarutobi Asuma versus Kumogakure's Hijiri."

Asuma gripped his chakra blade tightly, his eyes resolute. Having been tempered by the battle of "Silver Moon," he had shed much of his former arrogance and impetuosity. Although his chakra was severely depleted, his fighting spirit was at an all-time high.

The Cloud Village youth, Xi, frowned slightly. He was a ninja who leaned towards sensory perception and medical skills. Facing an opponent like Asuma, who was a close-combat burst type and had just experienced a life-or-death battle, he was clearly at a disadvantage. Yes, he had also watched the battle between the four against the Silver Moon.

"Match 3: Hiroshi Tsugami of Iwagakure vs. Nagisa Shirasa of Sunagakure."

"Huh? Orange Head, looks like we have quite a deep connection." Tsugami Hiro looked at Shirasa Nagisa with a smile. The two had worked together quite well when fighting Kong in the quarantine zone.

"Who's Orange Head! You four-eyed girl!" Shirasa Nagisa retorted without any politeness, but her hand holding the kunai was slightly sweaty.

She had witnessed Tsugami Hiro's calm command and exquisite earth-escape techniques in the quarantine zone; his strength was not to be underestimated.

"Fourth match: Hozuki An from Kirigakure versus Momochi Zabuza from Kirigakure."

Minato frowned slightly when he pronounced the name.

Hozuki Ann's face turned pale instantly. That was Zabuza! As a member of Kirigakure, she had heard too many legends about this kid.

Zabuza snorted coldly, slamming his greatsword heavily on the ground, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes: "Hozuki brats, even though you're all from Kirigakure, I won't hold back."

"Fifth match: Haitsuchi of Iwagakure versus Yashamaru of Sunagakure."

With the five match lists announced, the massive arena at the base of the tower slowly rose.

The brutal additional elimination rounds have officially begun.

……

The reactions of the various executives and leaders as they watched the points rankings and playoff roster displayed on the big screen were quite remarkable.

"Bang!"

The Fourth Raikage, A, pointed to the name at the very top of the screen and burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, everyone, who's in first place? It looks like Killer Bee from Kumogakure! Am I seeing things?"

Ai looked around the room with a smug grin, his dark face full of pride.

The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, sitting opposite him, slowly took a puff of his pipe and exhaled a long trail of white smoke.

"Young man, don't be impatient. Killer Bee's strength is indeed admirable. However, this exam is not only about individual strength, but also about the wisdom of the team."

The Third Hokage pointed with his pipe to the long list of names following closely behind on the screen:

"You might want to take a look down. Of the top ten, Konoha occupies six spots."

"What do you call that? That's called having a solid foundation and achieving success in all aspects. Although your village produced a first-place winner, as for the other genin... apart from that kid named Xi, I don't seem to see many Kumogakure members on the additional tournament roster?"

"you--!"

Ai was choked and his face turned ashen. Of course he knew that the other genin from Kumogakure were either eliminated or had dismal scores, but could he blame them?

I thought that none of the villages had any decent genin to offer in this year's Chunin Exams, but it turns out that not only Konoha, but Kirigakure's strength is not to be underestimated. That guy named Kisame Hoshigaki has robbed quite a few genin from Kumogakure.

On the other side...

The Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, stared intently at the large screen with his old eyes.

"Outrageous! Absolutely outrageous!"

Onoki pointed at the screen and roared:

"Not a single genin from our Iwagakure village made it into the top ten?! What's the point of having to fight in the qualifying tournament?!"

He turned to look at the yellow earth behind him, furious:

"What are these idiots doing in the forest?! Have they wasted all that ninjutsu they practiced in the village?!"

Huang Tu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and explained in a low voice, "Father, they were still working very hard, but the opponent they encountered this time was indeed not simple."

"Excuses! All excuses!"

Onoki blew his beard and glared, "Look at Kirigakure! That little girl named Mei Terumi is ranked third, and there's that traitor from Sunagakure!"

Onoki glanced at Granny Chiyo sitting in the corner, seemingly casually, and said in a sarcastic tone:

"Elder Chiyo, your Sunagakure village is truly full of talented people. However, the most powerful one is now wearing the Konoha headband. This top ten list is getting more and more interesting to look at."

Grandma Chiyo sat upright on the sofa, not even lifting her eyelids, as if she hadn't heard Onoki's sarcasm.

But her slightly pale fingers, holding the teacup, betrayed her inner turmoil.

"snort."

Chiyo snorted and slammed the teacup down on the table.

"My Sunagakure's Nagisa Shirasagi and Yashamaru will naturally prove their strength in the additional tournament. Tsuchikage, you should worry about your Hiro Tsugami and Haido first. Don't let them be completely wiped out in the additional tournament and not even get a spot in the finals. That would really make you a laughing stock in the ninja world."

"You old hag...!" Ohnoki was furious.

Watching these two people, whose combined age is over a hundred, bicker like children, Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu exchanged a glance and both saw a hint of pride in each other's eyes.

There was a time when Konoha had to compromise with these villages at every turn.

But now, watching these village leaders getting so worked up over their Chunin Exam rankings, I feel an unprecedented sense of relief.

"Ahem, gentlemen."

Nishikawa Tetsu, who had been watching the commotion for a while, finally spoke up.

"Rankings and points are merely a summary of the second exam. The real competition will be decided on the ring."

"To enhance your viewing experience, we at Konoha Dome have prepared the latest 'Iced Happy Water' and 'Three-Color Dumpling Deluxe Set Meal' in your private rooms."

Nishikawa Tetsu snapped his fingers.

Several waiters pushed the food cart in.

"Gentlemen, enjoy your meal and drinks. The additional matches are about to begin."

the other side.

The daimyo of the Land of Fire was comfortably leaning back in his chair, watching the huge screen in front of him with great interest.

"Interesting, very interesting."

The daimyo, fanning himself with a folding fan, grinned from ear to ear and said to the finance minister beside him, "Look at the young people of Konoha. Not only can they survive those monsters, but their rankings are also far ahead of the competition."

"Your Excellency is absolutely right." The Finance Minister nodded repeatedly, his eyes fixed on the scrolling bar at the bottom of the screen. "Look, it's even playing our State Grid's recruitment advertisement! This publicity will definitely make those still hesitant businessmen scramble to get in!"

Daimyo laughed heartily, pointing at the screen as Genma Shiranui and Ebisu walked towards the arena:

"These young men in green, though their attire is a bit odd, their spirit and energy are very much to my liking. They'll be richly rewarded after the fight!"

……

Meanwhile, the atmosphere in the regular audience seats of the Konoha Dome was even more intense.

The eyes of more than 30,000 spectators were focused on the huge arena that was slowly rising in the center.

"Look! The first match is an internal battle within Konoha!"

"Aren't these two the two from the green quartet that just stood on the screen fighting off that silver-haired moon?"

"Yeah, yeah, yeah! Their performance in the forest was so exciting! That combo was absolutely awesome!"

"Although this green outfit is a bit too bright, I now think it's the epitome of male romance!"

In the stands, many civilians from Konoha and even tourists from other villages spontaneously stood up to cheer for the two boys who were about to engage in a civil war.

In a corner of the front row, Matt Day had wiped away his tears, but his excitement was still undiminished.

"Genma! Ebisu! Show no mercy! Turn all the sweat you shed during your special training into the iron fist of your youth!"

Kakashi closed his eyes in pain, wondering why he had ended up sitting there in the first place.

"If I could, I would like to use the Flying Thunder God Technique to leave this exam room right now."

Amidst this atmosphere of noise and anticipation, the contestants finally arrived at the Konoha Dome.

Genma Shiranui and Ebisu stood facing each other.

The brutal and thrilling additional elimination rounds officially kicked off amidst cheers from the entire audience!
