Uchiha Yuki carried away the wounded Haruno Sakura in full view. "Little Sakura," Yamanaka Ino mused, her voice tinged with envy. The other girls on the court shared this sentiment, marveling at Sakura's fortune. For her, Yuki's gesture was a significant affirmation, touching a tender spot in many a girl's heart.

As Sakura was carried away, the pain she felt seemed to lessen, and a faint smile graced her pale face. Uchiha Sasuke, who had just mustered the courage to approach, halted in his tracks. He watched as Yuki walked away with Sakura in his arms, feeling as though he had lost something important. A sense of heaviness settled over him.

"Yuki-kun is truly a kind man," Konan remarked from a distance, her usually icy expression warmed by a rare smile. With Yuki's departure, the focus returned to the ongoing Chūnin exam.

The third match featured Rock Lee versus Kazuto. Both ninjas were masters of physical combat, with Rock Lee employing the Eight Inner Gates and Kazuto using the Iron Body Technique. The clash between them was intense, showcasing power on par with Jōnin-level ninjas. Ultimately, Rock Lee's incredible speed, enhanced by Quincy powers, secured his victory.

"Winner, Rock Lee!" Kurenai announced.

The fourth match pitted Omoi against Chōjūrō, two ninjas renowned for their swordsmanship. However, with the Hiramekarei in his grasp, Chōjūrō managed to overpower Omoi.

"Winner, Chōjūrō!"

In the fourth match, Namikaze Naruto Vs Inuzuka Kiba.

Namikaze Naruto, the Hokage's son, received excellent education from an early age. Along with his unique physique, Kiba stood no chance.

"Winner, Namikaze Naruto!"

In the fifth match, Yamanaka Ino vs. Tayuya. Initially, Ino used her Mind Body Switch Technique to control her, but was forcibly freed by the latter's curse mark's power. Ultimately, she lost to his sound-based genjutsu.

"Winner, Tayuya!"

The sixth match featured Chōjūrō vs. Suigetsu Hōzuki. As Mizukage disciple, Chōjūrō was expected to excel but surprisingly, Suigetsu emerged victorious.

"Winner, Suigetsu Hōzuki!"

The seventh match, Hyūga Neji vs. Hyūga Hinata, a civil war within the Hyūga clan. Neji initially had the upper hand, but Hinata displayed extraordinary resilience. Emulating Sakura's defensive tactics, she managed to endure Neji's Gentle Fist attacks, resulting in a draw.

The eighth match, Akimichi Chōji vs. Jirōbō, was a battle of titans. Both used their unique strengths, Chōji with his Three Colored Pills and Jirōbō with his curse power, ending in a tie.

The ninth match, Kurotsuchi vs. Zura, highlighted Kurotsuchi's Lava Style against Zura's sand control. Kurotsuchi's tactics led to her victory.

"Winner, Kurotsuchi!"

The tenth match, Nara Shikamaru vs. Karui, saw Shikamaru outsmart Karui with his intelligence, securing his win with the Shadow Possession Jutsu.

"Winner, Nara Shikamaru!"

The eleventh match, Aburame Shino vs. Sakon. Sakon unleashed his curse seal power and used his unique abilities to defeat Shino with his Parasitic Demon Demolition Technique.

"Winner, Sakon!"

The twelfth match, Tenten vs. Ajisai. A battle of space-time ninjutsu ended when Tenten, utilizing Quincy's spirit bow. Tenten ultimately won as Ajisai conceded to avoid revealing her Rinnegan..

"Winner, Tenten!"

The thirteenth match, Samui vs. Atsui.

spurred by Fourth Raikage's encouragement

"Give it your all, Atsui!" Fourth Raikage couldn't help standing up personally to cheer him up. Because this is the last candidate among Cloud Shinobi participants. Once defeated, it means that Cloud Shinobi completely missed the individual finals

"I will, Lord Raikage!

Atsui's eyes were firm, full of determination and will to win. He wants to defeat all opponents and become the best being in Chūnin's exam!

Then try to persuade his sister Samui to return to Cloud Shinobi Village.

It turns out this is just wishful thinking of his.

Samui joined Root and willingly followed Uchiha Yuki's command.

It's absolutely impossible to go back to Cloud Shinobi Village with him.

Everyone almost sure that Atsui is gonna win, considering how Lord Raikage personally cheered him, surely he have something in his sleeves, right?

"Hehe~ Raikage, if the kid lose, I hope you won't lose your hair~" Onoki decide to use the chance to poke him.

"It's impossible he would lose, how could Cloud Shinobi can't make it into the final!" Raikage bite back

"Please, everyone" Fourth Hokage trying to calm the situation before it get worse.

"Must be nice Fourth Hokage, almost all Konoha Genin made it" Rasa didn't even hide his jealousy at this point.

It was obvious to all of them, there's a lot of outstanding young ninjas that Konoha manage cultivated.

And when these kid grow up, so will Konoha combat power.

Kazekage, Raikage, Tsuchikage, and Mizukage thinking about the same thing

'We need to join hand with the Akatsuki'

Konan cast her gaze to the side, her expression is flat, not giving any emotion.

But she also know that this plan of Nagato to turn the Chūnin exam into a battlefield, is not what she have in mind
