Traveling through Naruto: I am Haruno Sakura

Naruto: "Why, why do we have to do this? Isn't this just for the purpose of selecting Chunin?"

The Third Hokage: "Indeed, we cannot deny that this exam also has the mission of selecting ninjas who are capable of becoming Chunin, but on the other hand, it is also a place where ninjas who bear the prestige of the country fight for their lives. In this third exam, there will be many princes and celebrities from various countries who will entrust us with tasks. Then the princes and ninja leaders will watch your battles. If the strength difference is large, the strong country will receive many commissions. On the contrary, the weaker the country, the fewer commissions will be received. At the same time, it is also a declaration to neighboring countries that this is the combat power we have. In other words, it will bring pressure to diplomacy."

Ya: "Then why do we have to fight to the death!"

The Third Hokage: "The strength of the country is the strength of the village, which is the strength of the ninja. The true strength of the ninja can only be shown when fighting to the death. This exam is a stage for others to see the strength of the ninja of your country. It is meaningful because it is a life-threatening exam. For this reason, our ancestors also took part in the Chunin exam with dreams in their hearts."

Tiantian also raised his own doubts, "Then why do we have to declare friendship?"

The Third Hokage: "I've said it from the beginning, haven't I? Don't misunderstand that maintaining balance through killing is what we call friendship. This is a battle for our dreams and prestige, where we risk our lives."

Gaara said arrogantly, "Who cares about this killing? Instead, tell us the content of this exam where your life is at stake."

The Third Hokage: "Well, let me introduce the content of the third exam to you. Actually..."

Suddenly a figure fell from the sky, "I'm very sorry, Hokage-sama, I will be the referee, Gekkou Gale, and I will explain..."

The Third Hokage looked at the man in front of him, "Then I'll leave it to you."

Moonlight Gale: "Hello everyone, before the third exam begins, there is something you need to complete, which is related to whether you can participate in the pre-selection for the third exam."

Shikamaru was no longer calm at this point, "What's going on with the preliminaries?"

Sakura asked, "Why can't the candidates who stay here take the third exam directly?"

Moonlight Hayate: "Maybe the first and second exams of this period are too easy, so there are too many people left. Therefore, we have to conduct a preliminary selection according to the rules of the Chunin Exam to reduce the number of people participating in the third exam. The Hokage just said that there will be many guests watching the third exam, so we can't drag it out. There will also be time restrictions, so people who are not feeling well... After listening to the explanation just now, does anyone want to give up? Please raise it now, because the preliminary selection will start soon."

Ya was shocked: "Starting right away?"

Not only Kiba was shocked, Sakura also thought it was outrageous, but fortunately it was still early and she had some time to rest...

Moonlight Gale: "Um, I forgot to mention this just now. Next up is a personal battle. You can decide for yourself whether to raise your hand to withdraw from the competition."

Sakura suddenly realized that there was a familiar figure standing in the row of jonin...
