This ninja in Naruto is unscientific

Chapter 325 Ranking

"Ding—Identity confirmed, Konoha Genin, Uzumaki Kana, bracelet complete, total points: 1800."

"Beep—Identity confirmed, Konoha Genin, Shizune, bracelet complete, total points: 1300."

"Beep—Identity confirmed, Konoha genin, Sasori, bracelet complete, total points: 2100."

As the three of them pressed their bracelets onto the barrier stone emitting a pale blue light at the center of the tower, a series of cold, synthesized electronic sounds echoed in the empty top floor of the tower.

"Wow! I got 1800 points! Am I in the top ten?!"

When Chanel heard her score, she jumped up excitedly, her big eyes shining like two rubies.

She originally thought she would barely pass the level, but unexpectedly, after paralyzing that terrifying puppet king in the quarantine area, the system judged her contribution to be extremely high and gave her a large amount of bonus points.

"It seems that luck is also a part of strength." Shizune breathed a long sigh of relief.

Although the process was extremely dangerous, I managed to get through it, and the score wasn't low either.

Scorpion remained expressionless, only glancing coldly at the huge screen above the barrier stone.

On the screen, the ranking of candidates who have reached the tower and activated the barrier is scrolling in real time.

"Top ten? You should take a look at the list above first." Scorpion raised his chin.

Kana followed Scorpion's gaze and saw that although he was still in the top ten, his smile had faded slightly.

[First Place: Killer Bee, Hidden Cloud Village. Total Points: 4500.]

Second place: Konoha Village, Obito Uchiha. Total points: 3200.

[Third Place: Kirigakure, Mei Terumi. Total Points: 2800.]

[Fourth Place: Konoha Village, Nohara Rin. Total Points: 2400.]

[Fifth Place: Konoha Village, Sasori. Total Points: 2100.]

[Sixth Place: Konoha Village, Uzumaki Kana. Total Points: 1800.]

[Seventh Place: Konoha Village, Might Guy. Total Points: 1700.]

[8th Place: Kisame Hoshigaki, Hidden in the Mist Village. Total Score: 1500 points.]

[Ninth Place: Konoha Village, Shizune. Total Points: 1300.]

[10th Place: Kumogakure (Hidden Cloud Village), Yugito Nii / Konoha (Hidden Leaf Village), Kurenai Yuhi (tied). Total Points: 1000.]

……

"Four...four thousand five hundred points?!"

Chanel's eyes widened as she pointed at the seemingly unattainable number at the very top of the screen, her voice trembling slightly.

"What on earth did that big black guy do?! Did he dismantle all the mechanical puppets in the forest?!"

"Not only did he steal puppets, but he probably also stole a lot of the examinees' bracelets," Shizune calmly analyzed from the side.

Just then, a gentle round of applause came from the other side of the tower.

"Congratulations, Kana, Shizune, and... Sasori. You have successfully passed the second test."

Minato Namikaze emerged from the shadows, a warm smile on his face and azure eyes filled with satisfaction.

"Minato-nii!"

Kana rushed over and hugged Minato's waist, complaining pitifully, "Minato-nii! This exam was so hard! And there were so many super fierce foreign ninjas! I almost didn't get to see you again, sob sob..."

"Alright, alright, you're back safe and sound, aren't you?" Minato smiled and ruffled Kana's red hair, glancing discreetly at Sasori, who stood not far away, exuding an aura that kept strangers at bay.

He knew perfectly well what the three little ones had gone through in the forest. As the chief examiner, he had seen everything clearly from the monitoring room. He was especially surprised by the scene where Kana used her sealing technique to paralyze King Kong.

As for Sasori... this dangerous rogue ninja from Sunagakure, his overwhelming strength displayed in this exam is indeed a major destabilizing factor, but so far he seems to be behaving himself.

"Everyone, please be quiet."

Minato gently pushed Kana aside, walked to the barrier stone, cleared his throat, and his voice was amplified throughout the top floor of the tower.

At this moment, about thirty candidates had gathered on the top floor.

Some of them were covered in mud and scarred, while others looked relaxed and were unharmed.

Without exception, everyone's eyes revealed exhaustion and the relief of surviving a disaster.

"First of all, congratulations to everyone present. You are the survivors of the second round of the Chunin Exams, a joint effort of the five great ninja villages, and the pride of your respective villages."

As soon as Minato finished speaking, a sigh of relief came from below. However, some people realized that it was a survivor, not someone who had cleared the game.

"but……"

Sure enough, Minato's tone suddenly changed, and his eyes instantly sharpened.

"To become a Chunin, one needs not only exceptional survival skills, but also the decisiveness to face dire situations. Therefore, there are only fifteen spots available for this third and final exam."

"What?!"

"Only fifteen spots?! There are over thirty people here!"

"Are we really going to have to kill each other again?!"

An uproar erupted in the crowd, and the nerves that had just relaxed were tense up again.

"Quiet."

Minato raised his hand, and the light on the barrier stone flashed slightly. An invisible pressure instantly silenced the entire area.

"Based on your overall performance in the second exam, which is the score recorded on your wristbands."

"The top ten candidates, which are the eleven shown on the big screen (including ties), will directly advance to the third exam."

The screen flashed, and eleven names were listed.

Seeing her name on the list, Kana breathed a long sigh of relief and patted her chest: "Great, great, I don't have to fight anymore."

Kurenai Yuhi also breathed a sigh of relief. Although she hadn't caused any damage to Sogetsu while supporting Obito and Rin, her team's treasure hunt points and the number of bracelets she had earned had barely made it into the top ten.

"And for candidates whose ranking is below tenth..."

Minato's gaze swept over the remaining people.

"I'm sorry, you will lose your chance to advance directly. However, in order to give you a chance to prove yourselves, the village leaders have decided to hold an additional one-on-one elimination tournament."

"Due to limited spots, we will determine the matchups through a draw. The five winners, or those who perform exceptionally well, will secure the final qualifying spots!"

"Now, candidates whose names are called, please proceed to the arena below. The rest of you may watch from the stands."

Minato took out a list that had just been randomly drawn and began to read out the match groups.
