This world does have fairness.
If you want something, you must first give something. For example, if Manda wants sacrifices in the future, it should first become a sacrifice itself.
For instance, if someone has willingly helped others, then the kind-hearted person must receive a reward. This is Akihara Kagura's way of dealing with the world fairly.
The second round of the Chunin Exam concluded as scheduled.
Konoha Village's nine newcomers surprisingly all passed, and the third class that participated in the exam for the first time also passed the second round.
This group of little ones didn't even have time to celebrate passing the Forest of Death when they were forced to participate in a pre-selection round due to an excessive number of participants.
As the chief examiner, Akihara Kagura had no choice but to go to the pre-selection arena to oversee the smooth conduct of the third exam.
The pre-selection arena.
Akihara Kagura looked at the crowd of heads below and felt there were still too many participants for the third exam, which made the pre-selection a bit more troublesome.
Everyone present also watched Akihara Kagura, the young leader. Both the Genin participants and the Jonin from other villages knew Akihara Kagura's identity, and most people had heard of his reputation.
"So many people..."
Akihara Kagura, the host, made no secret of his displeasure with the Forest of Death exam results and frowned, saying, "I'm considering randomly selecting half the people to kill off, which could save us some time..."
"..."
All the Genin present were taken aback!
"Kagura!"
Kakashi Hatake's forehead twitched.
The group of instructor Jonin standing behind Akihara Kagura were also shocked!
"Alright."
Akihara Kagura spread his hands, casually instructing, "Too many people passed the second round Forest of Death exam. Have Examiner Umino Iruka, who substituted in hosting, go back and write a report to submit to the Hokage Tower. Since these kids are all taking the exam, there's no need to worry about casualties..."
"Yes."
A Dark Department member nodded in agreement rather helplessly.
"Alright then."
Akihara Kagura looked at a sickly man on the field and felt some dissatisfaction with this third-round exam proctor. He frowned and said, "Take this man to the hospital and bring in a healthy Jonin instead..."
"Cough, cough, cough... I'm fine..."
The third-round exam proctor Gekkou Hayate coughed while responding to Akihara Kagura, wanting to prove his health was fine but only proving he was indeed ill.
"Someone come here."
Akihara Kagura glanced at the listening Dark Department members and pointed at a masked woman with purple hair: "You take this guy to the hospital. Let him stay there for two months; he's really disgraced Konoha's image..."
"..."
The masked Uzuki Yugao gritted her teeth silently.
The third-round exam proctor Gekkou Hayate happened to be her boyfriend. He hadn't even started the role and was already discarded by Akihara Kagura. Her boyfriend Gekkou Hayate, who was pretty handsome but a tad sickly, how did he disgrace Konoha Village's image?!
This Hokage Assistant, Akihara Kagura, who talks about killing at every turn, is the real reason Konoha's diplomatic image took a hit!
But...
Uzuki Yugao had no choice but to follow the superior's order.
"Hayate, let's go first..."
Uzuki Yugao had no choice but to step forward, supporting her boyfriend to the hospital: "Let's get a checkup at the hospital first..."
"Cough, cough, old ailment, I'm fine..."
"Let's go!"
Uzuki Yugao took her boyfriend away.
Akihara Kagura casually pointed at Shiranui Genma, his examiner during the Chunin Exam, indicating for him to host the pre-selection of the third exam, which was something he was quite familiar with.
"Genma, you host."
"Got it."
Shiranui Genma could only hold a thousand-book and stepped out, inquiring voluntarily: "Before the third pre-selection starts, does anyone want to withdraw? After all, individual battles can be very dangerous, and the final exam is a life-threatening fight..."
"No need to fool them with those words."
Akihara Kagura interrupted Shiranui Genma, saying nonchalantly, "When I took the Chunin Exam, and almost killed Uchiha Itachi, didn't someone stop me?"
"..."
Isn't this situation different?!
Shiranui Genma felt this truly was a tough job but could only continue helplessly: "Alright, as per tradition, I still have to ask, is there anyone who wants to withdraw from the exam?"
"I'll withdraw."
Maruboshi Kosuke took the initiative to withdraw from the competition.
Because he originally didn't want to advance, he was just accompanying Karin and Kabuto for the exam. This elderly man encouraged his team before withdrawing: "Do your best; with your abilities, you can definitely pass..."
"I'll withdraw too."
Kabuto voluntarily raised his hand.
Karin's team instantly lost two members, and all the Genin present couldn't help but look at her, seemingly curious whether this bespectacled violent girl would withdraw.
However...
Karin still stood in place without surprise at her teammates' withdrawal. These two teammates were originally there to support her, and only individual battles were allowed in the third exam, leaving no doubt Karin had to rely on her own strength.
"Let the drawing begin!"
Shiranui Genma wasted no more time, and upon seeing no one withdrawing, quickly arranged the drawing ceremony, with two names appearing on the device.
Karin VS Hozuki Suigetsu.
