When you are in Naruto, the era of live streaming for all has begun!

Who would have thought that this would happen?

More people in the crowd gradually raised their hands.

"Referee, I'm giving up too..."

"Me too……"

"And I……"

"The same goes for the three of us..."

……

For a while.

Nearly half of the candidates in the preliminary rounds chose to withdraw from the competition!

This left Genma Shiranui speechless.

WTF?

Just now, when Moonlight Gale was there, you didn't give up the game.

I'm just getting on the field!

You should all give up the game.

Don't you give me any face at all?

Seeing so many people suddenly wanting to give up the competition!

Genma Shiranui was also undecided for a moment!

He could only look up and glance at Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was sitting in the first seat of the stands!

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded slightly.

He then coughed twice and said, "This Chunin Exam is completely open to all. Since you don't want to continue participating, I won't force you. After the preliminary rounds, you can fill out a reason for your withdrawal!"

He paused here.

Genma Shiranui then turned to the candidates who continued to participate in the preliminary rounds and said, "Sometimes luck is also a kind of strength. Next, if your opponent is a candidate who has already withdrawn from the competition, you can get a bye and advance to the third official match!"

Hear this.

Those candidates who had not yet given up on the preliminary rounds immediately cheered with joy!

Half of the candidates have already given up their right to continue the competition!

In other words.

For the remaining players, the chance of getting a bye is basically 50%!

This is such wonderful news!

"The next preliminary match is..."

As he spoke, Genma Shiranui pulled two names out of the cardboard box.

Take a look.

Then he announced, "Shikamaru Nara from Konoha and Karin from Kusagakure. Since Karin has withdrawn from the match, Shikamaru Nara will receive a bye and will directly advance to the third official match!"

Hearing this result!

Nara Shikamaru was stunned for a moment!

He never expected his luck to be so good.

I was the first one to get a bye!

"Shikamaru, what kind of luck do you have?!"

Choji Akimichi looked at Shikamaru Nara with envy.

The opponent he drew yesterday was Jiang Cheng, whom no one wanted to face!

As a result, they simply gave up the match.

Compared to Shikamaru's bye and advancement.

Their fates were worlds apart!

Nara Shikamaru smiled and said, "Looks like I'm really lucky today!"

Choji Akimichi seized the opportunity to say, "Yeah, so you'll have to treat us to barbecue later!"

Nara Shikamaru looked speechless: "All you care about is eating, fine, but you can't order too much..."

Choji Akimichi chuckled: "Okay, I'll try to eat less..."

Listening to the conversation between Akimichi Choji and Nara Shikamaru.

Jiang Cheng couldn't help but shake his head.

Nara Shikamaru has a lazy personality!

I just can't muster the energy to do anything!

This bye outcome was a relief for him.

That's exactly what I wanted!

No wonder the other party was so generous in treating Choji Akimichi to barbecue!

"So, what's the next preliminary match...?"

"Hinata Hyuga and Neji Hyuga!"

Just as Nara Shikamaru and Akimichi Choji were discussing where to go for barbecue to celebrate,

Genma Shiranui's voice came from the arena again.

"Has the matchup list for these two siblings not been disrupted either?"

Upon hearing those two names, Jiang Cheng's pupils contracted slightly.

Because of the butterfly effect.

This Chunin Exam has gradually deviated from the original storyline.

Many matchup lists have been shuffled.

Even the Sound Ninja trio was replaced by the Grass Ninja trio, with Karin Uzumaki as the main member!

Previously, the fateful showdown between Gaara and Lee was not disrupted.

This already surprised Jiang Cheng quite a bit.

Surprisingly, the duel between the siblings Hyuga Neji and Hyuga Hinata was not disrupted!

Could it be!

Is this also a fateful showdown?

Jiang Cheng thought to himself silently.

……

at the same time.

Studio.

Hinata Hyuga and Neji Hyuga were seen being paired together.

Hyuga Hizashi couldn't sit still any longer!

Hyuga Hizashi: Holy crap~ No way, how did my son end up going up against Hinata?!

[Yuhi Shinku: Hizashi, Hinata is the eldest daughter of the Hyuga main family, and your son is a member of the branch family. If he were to attack a member of the main family, things would likely turn out very badly, wouldn't they?]

Hyuga Hizashi: Damn it, my son is so good, he could definitely beat anyone else.

But why did it have to be Hinata of all people?

[Yagura Karatachi: Huh~ Isn't that Hinata Hyuga the girl Jiang Cheng confessed to last time?]

[The Third Raikage: It's her. I didn't expect her to have developed so well in just a short time...]

[Yagura Karatachi: Damn~ Third Raikage, wasn't that a bit... a bit much coming out of nowhere...?]

[The Third Raikage: Ahem~ I was just complimenting her figure, nothing more!]

[Yagura Karatachi: Nobody believes you!]

[Biwa Juzo: By the way, that Hyuga Hizashi, it seems your son is much stronger than Jiang Cheng's girlfriend, right? Why are you so worried?]

[Yagura Karatachi: Exactly! The difference in their abilities is so huge. It's a sure win for them. I really don't know what you're worried about!]

Hyuga Hizashi: You two are from outside the village, so you may not know the family history of our Hyuga clan!

Hinata is a member of the Hyuga main family, while my son is a member of the Hyuga branch family.

Although they are cousins, their social status is very different.

Hinata's strength is far inferior to my son's, but as a member of the main family, if she wanted to deal with him, she only needed to use a single thought spell!

[Loquat Ten Treasures: Mantras of intention... are they that powerful?]

[Yagura Karatachi: I heard that your Hyuga clan has a Caged Bird Seal, a method used by the main family to suppress the branch family. Could this be what you're referring to?]

Hyuga Hizashi: That's right, it's the Caged Bird Seal!

"How...how could it be Neji-nii-nii?"

Upon hearing that her upcoming opponent was Hyuga Neji, Hinata's small frame trembled slightly.

Unlike others.

Her most feared opponent is not Jiang Cheng!

It's not Gaara who goes berserk and transforms all the time!

It was his own cousin!

Because her father, Hiashi Hyuga, once told her!

Neji's father died protecting the main branch of the family!

and so!

Neji harbored a deep-seated hatred for the main branch of the family from a young age!

Even hostility!

Hinata Hyuga may appear delicate!

But he is extremely strong inside!

She can face any enemy.

But she just couldn't face her own brother!

Because she felt that their main family owed Neji and his son a debt!

If the family didn't have so many rules.

The Hyuga clan does not have a main family or branch family!

perhaps!

Neji and his father wouldn't have been separated forever from childhood!

They are clearly from the same family.

Why must we be divided into two factions?

Won't doing this gradually increase the conflict and estrangement between the main family and the branch families?

They're clearly brothers!

Is it just because I was born a few seconds later?
