"That's only natural!" The Third Hokage nodded his head, looked at the Fourth Kazekage who was at the side, and said aloud: "Lord Kazekage, how about it, does that Genin, no, it should be Chunin, from your Hidden Sand Village want to participate in this melee?"
"I....." The Fourth Kazekage frowned his eyebrows, and had some hesitation between his expressions.
"It doesn't matter, Lord Kazekage, and you don't need to participate if you're worried that the Genin from your village won't be strong enough!"
The Third Hokage said that first without waiting for the Fourth Kazekage to speak, and the tone of ridicule within was also considerably obvious.
"Hmph, how could this kind of match be without our Hidden Sand Village, and we naturally won't miss this kind of battle that tests the newborn strength between the great nations."
The Fourth Kazekage immediately couldn't bring himself to refuse after hearing the Third Hokage say it like that, and he had no other choice but to grit his teeth and agree.
"Very well then, I'm relieved to hear Lord Kazekage say it like that!" The Third Hokage nodded his head, and then stood up, and looked at the spectators who were preparing to withdraw from the arena, and said aloud: "Distinguished spectators, don't be in a hurry to leave the arena, and we've decided to hold another match after I and Lord Kazekage have discussed it!"
"What? There's still a match?! Then we have to properly appreciate it ah!"
The spectators below immediately began to applaud and cheer after hearing those words, and no longer left the arena, and began to return to their positions once again.
"There's still a match, and didn't all of the matches already end?" Hina and Wan'er also had a look of strangeness on their faces.
"Now, please have the Genin who have successfully been promoted to Chunin come to the competition arena!" The Third Hokage continued to say on the high platform.
"I see now ah....." A trace of a smile was revealed on the corners of Kaoru's mouth, and he had already understood what the Third Hokage meant, and it seemed that he would have to fight another match.
Having thought that, Kaoru left the spectator stands, and arrived in the competition arena, and Hozuki Mangetsu, Deidara, and that Hirata Ryō from the Hidden Sand Village also arrived in the arena on the other side.
"Seriously, didn't all of the matches already end, and what else do they want?" Deidara had a look of displeasure on his face.
"You'll know soon enough." Hozuki Mangetsu said with a smile, "This is a match that I fought to obtain."
"Not bad, it seems that everyone has arrived." The Third Hokage, who was on the high platform, looked at the four Chunin below and said with a smile, and then announced the rules of the match that were to follow: "In order to make this Chunin Selection Exams even more watchable, the four of you will hold a melee match next!"
"Four people!" The four Chunin in the arena had a look of incomprehension on their faces.
"Hmm." The Third Hokage nodded his head, "The rules of the match are the same as the rules of the match in the main round, but you can't kill anyone, and there will only be one person who will obtain the final victory in the end for the final results, and I'll take out a Leaf Village A-rank ninjutsu as a reward for this final victor!"
"A reward of an A-rank ninjutsu?!"
It had to be said that an A-rank ninjutsu was considerably tempting, because only Jōnin were generally qualified to learn A-rank ninjutsu, and the temptation was considerably great for these four young people.
And the Third Hokage had specifically taken out a kind of A-rank ninjutsu to use as a bet, and this was also a side view of his confidence in Kaoru, and the Third Hokage naturally didn't want the A-rank ninjutsu from the Leaf Village to be snatched away by the ninja from the other villages after all.
"What's wrong, I said that I wanted to have a fight with you, and now it's finally being realized....."
Hozuki Mangetsu looked at Deidara, and said coldly, and he had wanted to have a fight with Deidara to his heart's content, and that was why he had made a suggestion to the Third Hokage.
He had had some friction with Deidara previously, and he could finally properly resolve it now.
"Let's fight then, and my art will naturally accompany you to the very end! Hmm." Deidara also said it like that.
"Very well then, I'll continue to serve as the referee for this match!" Asuma also came to the center of the arena, and said.
This unprecedented four-person melee match instantly attracted the spectators' gazes.
The match was about to break out!
"The match will now begin!" Asuma waved his hand, and announced that this match had officially begun, and his entire body moved away from the center of the competition arena!
Only four young ninjas who had just been promoted to Chunin were left in the competition arena.
The most exciting match in the Chunin Selection Exams was about to begin.
The four of them looked at each other in the arena, and it was briefly quiet, and they all wanted to take action, but they were also afraid that they would be ambushed by another person at the same time that they took action.
This was a melee where everyone was fighting for themselves after all, and the other three people were all opponents!
However, Kaoru had a look of indifference on his face among them, and he didn't have much interest in this match, and he also didn't need to be the first to stick his head out.
The Hozuki Mangetsu, who was the initiator of this match, finally took action first after this standoff had lasted for a little while.
"Let's decide the victory or defeat!" Hozuki Mangetsu shouted loudly, and drew the two swords behind his back, and charged forward directly, and slashed towards Deidara.
He mainly wanted to fight with Deidara in this match, and therefore he had naturally chosen Deidara as his first target.
"I knew that you would attack first!"
Deidara had also long been prepared for the incoming Hozuki Mangetsu, and he waved both of his hands, and created a large quantity of clay dolls instantly, and began to fight with Hozuki Mangetsu.
And Deidara and Hozuki Mangetsu were fighting considerably fiercely on this side, and Kaoru, however, was standing leisurely in place on the other side, and that Hidden Sand Village puppeteer was looking at him with a face that was full of wariness, and was worried that Kaoru would also charge over directly like Hozuki Mangetsu.
"How boring." But Kaoru simply didn't have this kind of thought, and he lowered his voice and harrumphed after saying it, and then yawned boredly while watching the battle between Hozuki Mangetsu and Deidara.
"You fellow, aren't you planning to fight?" The Hidden Sand Village ninja asked with a frown after seeing that Kaoru had a look of leisure on his face.
"Do you want to fight?" Kaoru said with a smile, "You can go and fight with them if you want to."
The Hidden Sand Village ninja frowned his eyebrows, and looked towards the battlefield on the other side.
"Water Style, Water Flow Cloud Slash!"
Hozuki Mangetsu formed hand seals with both of his hands, and threw the cloth sword in his hand towards Deidara, and the cloth sword was enveloped with a high-pressure water flow, and transformed into a sharp water blade.
"Pfft!"
Hozuki Mangetsu's cloth sword easily cut through the doll that Deidara was manipulating, but Deidara wasn't afraid at all, and the clay doll quickly recovered once again, and continued to attack, and it could be said to be considerably deadlocked.
"The combat power of these two fellows looks considerably formidable ah....."
The Hidden Sand Village ninja swallowed a mouthful of saliva lightly while looking at the battle between Hozuki Mangetsu and Deidara, and said with a tone of admiration in his heart.
"Rather than provoke these two powerful fellows, it would be better to take action against this fellow who is the youngest......"
This Hidden Sand Village ninja shifted his gaze onto Kaoru once again.
Kaoru was the youngest contestant among the four of them, and this Hidden Sand Village ninja had also easily defeated the Leaf Village's Kabuto previously, and therefore he also thought in his heart that Kaoru was about the same as Kabuto.
"Little brat, I'm sorry, and you're my target!" That Hidden Sand Village ninja shouted softly, and then took out a scroll and summoned his puppet!
Instantly, a human puppet that had three arms growing out from the left and right appeared before Kaoru.
