Mu Yue was unclear about what Hiruzen Sarutobi and the Elder had discussed, but as for the outcome, it was pretty much what he had expected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Kirigakure examinees continued the exam as normal, and the captured Kirigakure ninja were directly released, as if nothing had happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Five days later, Mu Yue looked at the clock and officially announced the end of the second exam. All teams that had not gathered the required scrolls and arrived at the central tower were eliminated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Finally over, can we go outside now?\" Obito complained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had passed the exam in just a few hours, but had been forced to stay in the central tower until now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the central tower, even training made Obito uncomfortable; he could only exercise in the large open space inside the tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everyone quiet down. Now the proctor of the third exam, Paku, will explain the relevant matters for the third exam.\" Mu Yue said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Yue also had a position in the third exam, but the explanation had to be given by the proctor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A ninja wearing a gray-yellow high-collared coat with long white hair walked up next to Mu Yue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'll leave the rest to you, Senior Paku.\" Mu Yue said with a gentle smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Paku was friends with Tsunade and Jiraiya, so Mu Yue and Paku were friends-of-friends, and they got along well during the Chunin Exams.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Paku smiled slightly at Mu Yue and replied, \"Mm, leave it to me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Mu Yue step aside, Paku faced the examinees and said with a smile, \"First of all, I congratulate you all on successfully passing the second exam.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But unfortunately, you all cannot leave the central tower for now. Before the third exam begins, there will be a preliminary selection. Only those who pass the preliminaries can participate in the third exam.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why go through all this trouble with an extra preliminary?\" Obito asked in confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, we worked hard to pass the second exam, and we're already tired.\" Some ninja thought this was very unreasonable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because the third exam will have many high-ranking officials and nobles coming to watch the matches. They are the source of many high-quality missions, and the exam time is a big issue, so the number of slots for the third exam is limited.\" Paku explained calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason for keeping all the passing examinees in the central tower was to facilitate the preliminaries. If it were just to explain the third exam rules, there would be no need for this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Paku's planned number was around eighteen, but because there were as many as forty-four participating teams in this exam, even after eliminating most, eleven teams had completed the exam, each team with three members. The total number seriously exceeded Paku's expectations, so an additional test was necessary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The preliminary battles will not be team battles, but one-on-one fights, with a single round. Examinees who are unwell or lack confidence in their abilities may withdraw in advance.\" Paku continued explaining the preliminary rules.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In order to make the third exam sufficiently exciting, the preliminary rules are the same as the third exam, testing solo combat ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Solo combat...\" Rin Nohara showed a worried expression upon hearing this. She wasn't very confident in her solo combat ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rin, you'll definitely be fine. If you run into someone from the same village, you might need to hold back a bit, so you don't kill them with one punch.\" Obito chuckled encouragingly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm not that strong.\" Rin pouted slightly, looking a little displeased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Obito is actually right this time. Rin, your strength already surpasses many examinees. As long as you don't run into those especially strong Kirigakure ninja, you'll have no problem entering the third exam.\" Kakashi nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Rin seemed to have a low presence among them, Kakashi, who had been a ninja since age five, had rich experience. Rin's level was already very strong for a genin; she only lacked long-range attack methods, but that was typical for genin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mm, no matter who the opponent is, I'll do my best. Let's all enter the third exam together.\" Rin nodded, feeling somewhat reassured by Kakashi's words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Kakashi was much more reliable in that regard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"One-on-one fighting? I feel done for.\" Genma Shiranui looked around at the other genin, feeling like a husky mixed in with wolves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew the genin around his age on the field—every single one was a monster. Obito's entire team were monsters, and those Kirigakure ninja were also formidable. Aside from them, even the youngest team, Asuma's team, was a year older than them, and most other genin were several years older.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even if we lose, there's no helping it. After all, our strength isn't up to par.\" Ebisu said, his expression very calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By now, he roughly understood his own level. He was only able to participate in the exam because of Might Guy. If he could become a chunin, that would be a bonus; if not, he would treat it as gaining experience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"True. After all, we got this far thanks to Guy.\" Genma placed his hand on Might Guy's back and said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everyone contributed. From here on, just fight with all your might and leave no regrets.\" Might Guy gave the two a thumbs up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Genma and Ebisu both nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If I run into Kakashi and Obito, I'll definitely surprise them.\" Asuma was quite confident in himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had learned a lot about Wind Release chakra nature transformation from Mu Yue, and now his best jutsu was no longer Fire Release but Wind Release.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uh, I think you should forget about Kakashi.\" Raido Namiashi advised Asuma not to think too much, since Kakashi had already passed the Chunin Exams several years ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I withdraw.\" A Kirigakure ninja wrapped entirely in bandages next to Mei Terumi raised his hand to withdraw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was the Kirigakure ninja who had been severely injured by Might Guy. Although he had narrowly survived, five days were not enough to recover, so he simply withdrew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Terumi Mei looked indifferent. At this point, she would not interfere with whatever decisions her teammates made, because what followed was personal performance time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The taijutsu kid in the green bodysuit, the ninja who likes to act cool with white hair and a mask, and Kisame Hoshigaki.\" Terumi Mei silently recited her rivals for the championship, preparing to focus on watching their battles next.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Obito’s best skill was Fire Release and she had already defeated him head-on once, Terumi Mei did not include Obito among them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nonō nodded in agreement and then continued to ask, \"Does anyone else want to forfeit? If no one forfeits, the preliminaries will begin.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one responded to Nonō’s words. They had all come this far; unless there was really no way forward, no one would want to give up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Very well. Next, you can pay attention to the information on the big screen. After the drawing of lots is complete, it will display your preliminary opponents and the order.\" Seeing that no one else forfeited, Nonō pointed to the huge display screen behind him and said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>About five minutes later, the originally dark screen lit up, and a list of matchups appeared on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Yue glanced at it briefly and then stopped paying attention, because Kakashi, Obito, and the others were all guaranteed to pass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t that they could definitely beat everyone, but the preliminary draw was not completely random. The person arranging the draw would not let strong candidates meet in the preliminaries, ensuring that the third exam would be exciting enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"First match: Uchiha Obito vs. Kōno Hideyoshi. Candidates, please prepare for battle.\" A minute after the list appeared, Nonō called out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m first. Watch me become the first success,\" Obito said with a confident look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Earlier, they had obtained quite a few data cards from a team of Konoha ninja, including Kōno Hideyoshi’s data card.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kōno Hideyoshi graduated at age ten, and last year at twelve he participated in a Chūnin Exam and made it to the third round but did not become a chūnin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Obito’s view, if someone hadn’t become a chūnin by thirteen, their strength couldn’t be that great. Kakashi had become a chūnin at six, and Obito had even defeated him before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good luck!\" Rin Nohara smiled and cheered for Obito.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Be careful. Don’t lose to someone weaker than you,\" Kakashi reminded him lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the encouragement of his two teammates, Obito walked to the middle of the open area. Kōno Hideyoshi exchanged a few words with his own teammates and also walked over. The other examinees were guided by the proctor to the second floor to watch, to avoid disrupting the fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He looks very young, but since he passed the Forest of Death, I can’t underestimate him,\" Kōno Hideyoshi thought as he looked at Obito, who was clearly much younger than him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Begin the battle!\" Nonō called out as soon as he saw the two were ready, then retreated to the edge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Flame Breathing: Total Concentration Breathing!\" Obito immediately entered a state of total concentration, rapidly enhancing his physical abilities and Fire Release techniques.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While entering total concentration breathing, Obito immediately formed hand seals, gathering chakra in his throat and spewing out a large swath of flames.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The flames, like countless rampaging fire dragons, spread rapidly toward Kōno Hideyoshi, instantly turning the ground within a dozen meters into a world of flames, surrounding him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the fierce flames that seemed about to devour him whole in the next instant, Kōno Hideyoshi was dumbfounded. This was a genin? He had been a genin for several years and had never seen a genin use such a powerful high-level Fire Release.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Nonō, not far away, showed a surprised expression at Obito’s Fire Release. This level of Fire Release was hard to find even among chūnin, let alone genin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A genius like Orochimaru and Jiraiya?\" Nonō couldn’t help feeling a bit envious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Realizing he had no way to deal with it, Kōno Hideyoshi directly dropped the kunai in his hand, performed the French military salute, and said, \"I surrender.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no point in fighting at all; Kōno Hideyoshi felt it was better to lose early and suffer less.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uchiha Obito wins!\" Nonō promptly announced Obito’s victory; the two sides were clearly not on the same level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uchiha Obito? I remember he was a famous dead last. How did he become so strong?\" A Konoha ninja who had graduated before Obito’s rise was very puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dead last? That guy is a genuine monster,\" sighed Nara Shio, who had personally witnessed Obito single-handedly fighting a Kirigakure jōnin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Obito’s Fire Dragon Flame Bullet sparked a huge discussion during the exam.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Obito had shed his \"dead last\" title during a practical exam in his fourth year, in this Chūnin Exam, only Might Guy and a few others were from the same year as Obito. Most other Konoha ninja were several years older.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those who had graduated long ago didn’t pay attention to information from the Ninja Academy. In their perception, Obito was still the Uchiha dead last.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No matter how strong your Fire Release is, you’re no match for me,\" Terumi Mei said very calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Obito’s Fire Release has become so strong... How did he train?\" Asuma looked confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He vaguely remembered that during training, Obito’s Fire Release wasn’t much stronger than his own. Now, over half a year had passed, and it was like a different person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Asuma instantly lost his confidence in defeating Obito; that Fire Release looked too brutal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Maybe while we were working hard, they were working even harder,\" Raidō Namiashi couldn’t help saying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Losing to Obito and his team before, Raidō Namiashi was somewhat unwilling. He had planned to win back in the Chūnin Exam, but after seeing Obito’s Fire Release, he no longer wanted to run into Obito.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Obito walked back to the second floor with a bright smile, chuckling and saying, “How was that? Fast enough, right? Finished the fight in under a minute.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mm, that was impressive.” Rin Nohara acknowledged with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It was just okay. Starting with such a wasteful jutsu of chakra isn’t a wise move.” Kakashi began to nitpick.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kakashi, you’re just jealous. But I’m generous—if you don’t make it to the third round, I’ll definitely comfort you.” Bolstered by Rin Nohara’s praise, Obito ignored Kakashi’s disparagement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, if Kakashi actually lost, Obito would laugh at him for a year—a chunin taking the Chunin Exam and not even getting into the third match? That was too hilarious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Second match: Shiranui Genma versus Terumi Mei.” Biruho quickly read out the names for the second match.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What rotten luck.” Genma Shiranui sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Good news: he knew the enemy’s information. Bad news: the enemy was too strong; even with the intel, he would only get crushed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No worries. Since the guy before you surrendered in seconds, it won’t be that embarrassing if you surrender too.” Ebisu adjusted his sunglasses and said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Get out of here. I’m going to trade a few moves with her at least.” Genma Shiranui punched Ebisu in the chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Genma Shiranui knew he couldn’t beat Mei Terumi, he didn’t want to end it like Eigi Kono, without even exchanging blows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Genma Shiranui got his wish and exchanged a few moves with Mei Terumi, but only a few. He spat out a single senbon, threw one punch and one kick up close, and was sealed inside a Water Prison with no way out, so he had to surrender.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though he had mentally prepared himself, being beaten that easily still stung for Genma Shiranui. He had been a big shot in his class at the Ninja Academy—the gap was just too huge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Genma Shiranui had already decided to go find Teacher Chen for extra training when he got back. He would train until he dropped if he had to—he didn’t want to experience such a disgraceful scene a second time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that, the winners of the next two consecutive matches were Kisame and Zabuza, both defeating their opponents by an overwhelming advantage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fifth match: Hatake Kakashi versus Mizumoto Koji.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good luck!” Rin Nohara waved her little fist to cheer Kakashi on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t lose.” Obito used Kakashi-style encouragement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kakashi nodded calmly and leaped straight down from the second floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Mizumoto Koji was a Mist Hidden ninja, Kakashi hadn’t encountered him during the second exam and didn’t know his intel, so on the first exchange he chose to probe with an attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After discovering Mizumoto Koji was far weaker than him, Kakashi immediately unleashed Lightning Breathing, used a lightning-fast slash, and set the White Fang against Mizumoto Koji’s neck, ending the battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sixth match: Nohara Rin versus Toda Nakane.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Believe in yourself. You’ve got this.” Kakashi, who had returned to the second floor after finishing his fight, spoke up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Toda Nakane was a Konoha ninja they had intel on—same team and same year as Eigi Kono, who Obito had taken out in seconds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Rin, I know you’ll win.” Obito gave his blessing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rin Nohara smiled and nodded, then walked down the stairs and entered the battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Toda Nakane stared warily at Rin Nohara. Although Rin looked soft and weak, her two teammates had both won by crushing their opponents, so he didn’t dare underestimate her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“She looks so slender; her taijutsu probably isn’t that strong.” Toda Nakane carefully observed Rin Nohara’s physique, analyzing her intel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought Rin Nohara was probably like Obito—skilled in ninjutsu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Toda Nakane immediately formulated a battle plan: start with ninja tools to harass, then close in for close combat—taijutsu was his strong suit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Begin the fight!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shhhh!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as Biruho finished speaking, Toda Nakane immediately took out shuriken and flung them at Rin Nohara.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Basic Breathing, Total Concentration!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rin Nohara immediately entered the Basic Breathing state, enhancing her physical abilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then something Rin Nohara hadn’t expected happened: she was still thinking about how to get close to Toda Nakane, but he charged straight at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Toda Nakane was delivering himself to her doorstep, Rin Nohara didn’t hold back. She concentrated a massive amount of chakra into her arm and used the Monstrous Strength Fist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a huge noise, Toda Nakane, who had exchanged punches with Rin Nohara, flew backward like a fired cannonball and slammed hard into the ground, leaving web-like cracks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, the central tower was dead silent. The examinees stared wide-eyed at Rin Nohara, who was still holding her punching stance in the arena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They found this too strange: a seemingly frail nine-year-old girl had punched away the burly, muscle-bound Nakatoda Toda with one blow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hiss.\" Asuma drew a sharp breath, his face incredulous. \"Since when did little Rin become so violent—no, wait, I mean, how did her taijutsu get so amazing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In Asuma's impression, Rin Nohara was an ordinary student who was good at theory and average in every other respect. But that punch she just threw was simply too outrageous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'll go talk to her after the exam,\" Kurenai Yuhi said, also looking deeply shaken. She had truly never seen such a sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Raido Namiashi was numb. He felt that even Rin Nohara would be hard to deal with—if that punch landed on him, Rin would have to kneel down right there and beg him not to die.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rin Nohara wins.\" Hizuru, having confirmed that Nakatoda Toda had lost combat capability, announced Rin's victory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Passing the preliminaries, a smile appeared on Rin Nohara's face. It was much simpler than she had imagined; she had thought that even winning would require a hard battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, compared to the excellent Obito and Kakashi, she was far too inferior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I told you you could do it, little Rin.\" When Rin reached the second floor, Obito was the first to congratulate her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you for your trust. Now our whole team has passed.\" Rin Nohara put her hands together and smiled brightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kakashi nodded without speaking. He knew better than Rin Nohara her actual strength among genin. The reason Rin lacked confidence was simply because the people she spent every day with were all too strong, causing her to have a distorted perception.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the preliminary exam progressed, successful examinees kept appearing, many of whom were acquaintances of Obito and Kakashi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Asuma, Nara Shio, Inuzuka Midori—some were friends Kakashi and Obito had known at the academy, others were those they had fought alongside in the Forest of Death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kakashi also noticed that besides their own team having all succeeded, the Kirigakure team formed by Hoshigaki Kisame had also all succeeded in entering the third exam, and the Terumi Mei team had also all entered the third exam except for the ninja who had forfeited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Other than that, there was no one else. From Nara Shio's team, Aburame Naoya lost. From Asuma's team, aside from Asuma succeeding, Raido Namiashi and Kurenai Yuhi both lost. Among them, Raido Namiashi was the unluckiest because he faced Might Guy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From Might Guy's team, only Might Guy succeeded; Ebisu lost to Yamashiro Aoba.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The preliminaries are over. A total of sixteen people have advanced to the third exam: Uchiha Obito, Terumi Mei...\" After all the battles ended, Hizuru announced the final results.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After announcing the advancement list, Hizuru immediately laid out the arrangements for the third exam.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The rules of the third exam are basically the same as the preliminaries you just had. According to the lottery results, one-on-one battles will be held. Winners advance, losers are eliminated, until the final victor is determined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the battles of the third exam, you must use all your abilities without reserve. Special ninja will score your performance. If you perform well enough, even if you lose, you might still become a chunin. Conversely, if you perform poorly, even if you win all the way, you might not be promoted to chunin.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rules of the third exam were the same as the practical exam at the ninja academy: each round of combat would be scored by dedicated ninja, evaluating the overall ninja qualities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Next, the people I call out will come up and draw lots. The battle order for the third exam will be decided by this draw.\" Hizuru then took out a box and said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The draw order was based on the results of the previous battles; Obito was called up first to draw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Obito did not dawdle; he reached in, immediately pulled one out, and showed it to Hizuru.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uchiha Obito, number nine,\" Hizuru read out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, after each person drew, Hizuru would read it aloud. When everyone had drawn, the large screen that had gone dark lit up again. This time it displayed the matchups for the third exam: number one vs. number two, number three vs. number four, and so on in sequence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Obito didn't rush to look at his own opponent; instead, he looked at the name for number four, because Rin Nohara was number three.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's that Nara Shio.
