Naruto: By lying low and hiding, he eventually became the leader of the Legendary Sannin.

The long-haired examiner from Kumogakure stood back half a step with a smile on his face.

It was the bald examiner from Kirigakure, the main venue for this exam, who spoke first:

"This is the main venue for your fourth assessment."

The rules for this competition are that it will be a team-based battle.

The moment the words "team competition" were uttered, a commotion erupted below.

Kagura was also taken aback upon hearing this. He had never expected that this kind of assessment would appear in the fourth round.

Hearing the commotion from the crowd, the bald examiner did not immediately stop them. Instead, he let the candidates discuss it for a while before waving his hand to signal them to be quiet.

Seeing that the crowd had gradually quieted down, he spoke again:

"First, you need to form a team. There are 30 people here."

Each team consists of three people, and a total of ten teams are formed.

After that, the teams will compete in pairs, for a total of 5 rounds.

There are no requirements for forming a team, and there are no restrictions on nationality.

In other words, candidates from Kirigakure, Kumogakure, and Konoha can freely pair up.

Once you've successfully formed a group of three, come here to register.

He paused briefly, allowing everyone to process the information before continuing:

"Let me remind you first that the team battles will still be conducted in a 1V1 format."

Anyone who automatically concedes defeat, loses their fighting spirit or ability, will be judged as having lost.

The loser leaves the field, while the winner remains on the field for the next round.

Once all three members of a team lose, the entire team will be eliminated.

Therefore, selecting and forming a team is also a very important strategy.

If you manage to get exceptionally strong teammates, you can easily advance even if you take on three opponents at once.

As he said this, he glanced at Kagura, who was at the very front, seemingly unintentionally.

Following his gaze, everyone present couldn't help but look towards Kagura.

Kagura, despite being watched by everyone, shrugged without changing her expression, her face remaining calm.

However, in his heart he was constantly complaining about the bald examiner.

Just say what you want to say, why are you staring at me like that?

Are you trying to warn everyone to be careful of me, or are you trying to curry favor with me?

Am I the kind of person who likes to show off?

"Fame comes early, death comes quickly," don't you understand?

Play it safe and focus on developing your resources stealthily – that's the key.

Just as he was internally complaining, the bald examiner looked at the clock above the arena entrance and said:

"Team formation takes 15 minutes. After forming a team, please give me a team name."

If you haven't been matched with a team after 15 minutes, I will randomly match you with a team.

Start now. "

As soon as he finished speaking, the scene erupted like boiling water, making a loud bang.

"Hey, interested in coming together?"

Team up with me, and I guarantee you'll pass the test!

"Hey little sister, want to come to our group?"

My brother promises we can take on 3 against 2, you just need to lie down.

But afterwards, would you like to go shopping together?

"Damn it! Get out of here."

You ambushed me in the forest just now.

You think I didn't see your face clearly?

"Ha! I've never seen such a shameless person!"

......

......

Kagura remained calm and unhurried as she faced a group of people looking for teammates.

He smiled and looked at Tsunade and the other two behind him, saying:

"Hehe, isn't this heaven helping me?"

They probably didn't expect that our entire team would make it into this exam.

Compared to others, we don't need to team up at all.

As long as the four of us... um?

Finally, as if remembering something, he gave a puzzled "hmm".

After thinking for a moment, he suddenly yelled "Damn it!" and turned to the examiner on the stage to question him:

"You just said three people per group?"

Faced with this pointless question, the examiner looked at him as if he were an idiot and replied:

"Isn't it true that in Konoha, classes are in groups of three?"

Isn't it common sense to work in groups of three?

Oh no, how could I forget about that!

Because she had been teaming up with Tsunade and the others all along, Kagura had forgotten that normal teams consist of three people.

Class 7 only became special because he transferred in.

Looking back at Tsunade, who looked helpless, and Jiraiya, who was trying to suppress his laughter, Kagura couldn't help but roll her eyes.

Fortunately, Orochimaru was somewhat reliable at this point, and he asked the most crucial question:

So, which one should we give up?

Upon hearing this question, the four looked at each other, unsure how to answer.

But problems always need to be solved. After some thought and discussion, they came up with the best solution.

That is to give up Kagura.

In fact, Kagura herself was the first to propose this idea.

The reason is very simple.

This is the best way for all of them to pass the exam.

With the strength of Tsunade and her two companions, they would have a high chance of defeating even the swordsmen of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen.

As for Kagura...

It has to be said that the bald examiner was right; even if he were alone, defeating three opponents single-handedly wouldn't be difficult for him.

Of course, there is also the worst possibility: that Tsunade and her two companions will face off against Kagura's group.

However, the chances of this happening are very small, and even if it did happen, Kagura wouldn't care.

Whether they were defeated by themselves or withdrew voluntarily, none of the four of them would have any objections.

They didn't really care about the title of Chunin, otherwise they wouldn't have missed the Chunin Exams for two consecutive years.

However, Kagura had already made up her mind what to do if such a situation really occurred.

Although I might feel bad for my teammates, I will choose to give up directly.

After all, becoming a Chunin isn't a must for me this year.

Furthermore, if Tsunade and the other two level up, she will be even more fearless next year when she is all alone.

For him, becoming a Chunin would be an easy thing to achieve.

Watching Tsunade and the other two go up on stage to register and report to the examiners, even though it was her own suggestion.

But Kagura, standing in the audience, couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness and disappointment.

Just then, a voice came from behind him:

"Hey, interested in teaming up with me?"

Upon hearing this, Kagura immediately turned her head to look behind her.

But he was somewhat surprised when he saw who was speaking.

Because the person who invited him was somewhat unexpected.

Chapter 55 Successfully Forming a Team

Interested in teaming up?

Upon hearing the invitation, Kagura turned her head to look behind her.

But the person who invited him surprised him slightly.

He knew this person, and he was one of the few candidates who caught his attention in the early stages of the exam.

This person is none other than Tsuchishiro from Kumogakure.

When he first arrived at the examination hall, apart from the seven members of the group, this was the only person who could pose a threat to him.

Not to mention his boss-like demeanor among the many genin of Kumogakure at the time; anyone with a brain could tell that this man was no ordinary person.

This is exactly what surprised Kagura; logically speaking, this guy shouldn't lack people to team up with.

Seeing Kagura's puzzled look, Tsuchishiro instantly understood her confusion.
