Chapter 384 Contestants Entrance: 5 Adults and 5 Children

"What are you doing? Xiao Juan, are you alright?"

Seeing that Xiao Juan was being bullied, several tall ninjas immediately rushed over.

The already unpopular Konoha ninjas were instantly surrounded.

On the second-floor balcony, the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, watched the farce unfolding below with an expressionless face, not even sending anyone to stop it.

Yamanaka Ino's expression was unusually grim: "Lord Kazekage, this is just a conflict between children. There's no need to make such a big deal out of it."

"Yes, it's just a conflict between children. Wouldn't it be better to let them resolve it themselves?"

As more and more people gathered, and the two sides were about to fight, Yamanaka Inoichi had no choice but to jump down.

"Stop it, all of you! Ebisu, come over here and apologize to him!"

Ebisu had already hidden in the crowd, but upon hearing the leader's shouts, he had no choice but to awkwardly squeeze out.

"I'm sorry, miss, it's all because you're too beautiful. I really didn't mean anything by it, it was just admiration, just admiration, hahaha..." He scratched his head, chuckling awkwardly, trying to let the matter drop.

Xiao Juan has a traditional personality, and for a long time, she has had to endure all sorts of strange scrutiny and stares. Especially after her master passed away, she was left all alone.

She had been training hard all this time, and this Chunin Exam was her chance to show her talent and turn her life around.

But she never expected that she couldn't even withstand a single ordinary palm strike from the Hyuga clan.

Thinking of this, the pent-up grievances she had been suppressing for so long surged into her heart. With tears in her eyes, she turned around and ran away crying.

"Hmph, so fragile, lacking even this much patience, does he deserve to be a ninja?" Hyuga Akiyama sneered and turned back to his team.

It seems that this team from Sunagakure is nothing special.

The female ninjas in the team all felt that Hyuga Akiyama had gone too far, even more so than Ebisu.

As the crowd gradually dispersed, the farce came to an end.

Yamanaka Inoichi was too ashamed to stay any longer, so he had no choice but to lead the Konoha people to the Konoha guesthouse.

"So this is what Konoha's ninjas are like. They seem to be nothing special."

After everyone left, a beautiful young woman stepped out from the crowd. Her name was Bauhinia, and she was a candidate from Amegakure participating in the Chunin Exams.

Two boys ran over and grabbed her. "Bauhinia, you're running around again. Lord Changxin wants you to go back immediately."

"I didn't wander off. I just came out of curiosity to see what really happened to Lord Changxin back then."

"Bauhinia, don't talk nonsense!" One of the boys immediately stepped forward and covered her mouth, warning her with a sharp look in his eyes.

Bauhinia knew she had said the wrong thing, but showed no remorse, only muttering perfunctorily, "Oh, I know I was wrong."

Within Amegakure, some people already knew that Naganobu was a spy, all because of Danzo of Konoha. It was he who leaked this information after the great war.

However, Nagato and Konan refused to believe it. Perhaps they already knew the truth, but they kept Nagato by their side because he still had value to them.

"Don't speak recklessly. Lord Nagatomo has long since broken free from his constraints and completely severed ties with people like Danzo."

"Okay, okay."

Who in the entire ninja world doesn't know? Nagato and Konan were Jiraiya's personal disciples, and it's said they even addressed the former Fourth Hokage as fellow disciples. In the end, they still ended up breaking up and becoming enemies.

"However, the ninjas of Konoha are indeed of low character, arrogant, and lecherous. Do you think I could seduce them without fail?"

"Stop fooling around, go back right now." The two men's faces darkened, and they forcibly dragged the unruly Bauhinia Flower away, turning around and disappearing around the street corner.

Three days later, the Chunin Exams of Sunagakure officially began.

The first to enter were the candidates from Konoha.

Might Guy walked at the front of the group, his hands behind his head, humming an unnamed tune, looking calm and relaxed, without any pressure.

Behind him, Gangzi Tie and Shenyue Chuyun were talking in hushed tones, their expressions equally relaxed.

The two members of the Hyuga clan still maintained the arrogant demeanor of aristocratic scions, with their white eyes, unsmiling faces, and an innate air of dominance.

The two younger members of the Uchiha clan were even more aloof. They walked side by side, their very being filled with arrogance.

The remaining Konoha ninjas also displayed their unique talents.

Among these ninjas, only the genin of the Aburame clan walked at the back of the group, his large trench coat tightly covering his entire body, revealing only half of his face at the collar.

Following closely behind was the Hidden Cloud Village, which only sent two small teams, led by relatively unknown Jonin. It was clear that they were not taking this Chunin Exam seriously.

The village of Iwagakure sent the largest number of people, a total of eight squads.

Upon closer inspection, the team leader was still Akatsuchi, while most of the examinees were unknown and of mediocre talent.

The only one who was somewhat well-known was the second son of a member of the demolition squad, named Tiger, known as the Tiger of Demolition. Although only twelve or thirteen years old, he had sharp eyes that revealed a hint of murderous intent.

The last of the five major nations to arrive was Fog Shadow Village; they entered the village precisely at the right time.

The team was led by Hozuki Mangetsu, and there were three squads behind him, totaling nine people. Their overall chakra reserves were relatively weak, and their attitude was very perfunctory, as could be seen from their personnel configuration.

After all five major ninja villages had entered, it was the turn of the various large and small nations to make their appearance.

The first to appear was Amegakure, led by Nagatoshi, with only three examinees—two men and one woman—behind them. Although their numbers were small, no one dared to underestimate them.

Following closely behind was the Hidden Star Village of the Land of Bears, and this group seemed rather strange.

It turned out that the village chief himself was leading the group, bringing three young men and women into the venue. Most of the people's arms and wrists were wrapped in bandages, as if they were already injured, making them look strange and out of place.

The Ninja Village of the Land of Vegetables is divided into two teams.

One team consisted of three young girls in their prime, dressed in cherry blossom pink battle robes. Their delicate demeanor made them seem less like ruthless ninjas and more like wealthy young ladies going out for a spring outing.

The other team was a mixed group of men and women. Although they wore the standard uniforms of the Sound Ninja, they also wore a lot of exposed metal accessories, which indicated that their bodies had been modified.

The team from Takigakure Village was neither biased nor perfunctory, nor could they be considered elite; their true strength remained unknown. The three-person swordsmanship team was led by Nanichi.

Years have passed, and Nanshi remains unchanged, firmly holding onto its status as a top-tier film.

Below the Kage level, he is virtually invincible; among Kage-level experts, while he may not be the strongest, he can always manage to hold his own in a prolonged battle. He also possesses the ability to deliver a fatal blow if he finds an opening.

The last to enter was the Land of Demons, who sent three witches led by a priest. Judging by their aura alone, they seemed to have almost no fighting power.

Actually, they came here to broaden their horizons. The witch of the Demon Kingdom had never seen anything like it before, and she was very humble.
