The Third Hokage’s Death

The very first match stirred the entire audience's curiosity about ninjas. In their minds, ninjas were probably like Tenten—appearing without a trace, vanishing without a shadow, and striking with thunderous, torrential force the moment they acted. Tenten perfectly matched the audience's image of a mysterious and unfathomable ninja. The second match was Shino Aburame versus Shikamaru Nara. It ended with Shikamaru Nara surrendering, and under the Jonin's explanation, it showcased a battle of wits.
