Chiyo noticed her brother's frustration and understood what was going on.

"Kazekage, I would like to ask if you really believe that these elite candidates are above the level of the Hokage's apprentices, I understand that Princess Senju and another of her apprentices are geniuses beyond compare. We all know how bad we would look if a 14-year-old ninja defeats a 16 or 17-year old" commented Chiyo making clear reference to the age of the Hokage's apprentices and the candidates that the Kazekage had prepared.

And in fact, Chiyo made a comment that put the Kazekage in an unpleasant situation because if he answered that the candidates he chose could defeat the Hokage's apprentices and they didn't it would be his responsibility.

'If it's not Ebizo it's his sister, these two won't let me breathe, how could I go so far as to risk assuring that, clearly I can't be sure. The idea was that between the 6 Suna candidates they would work together to eliminate the Konoha ninja one by one, not that they would fight them on equal terms,' the Third Kazekage complained internally about Ebizo and Chiyo's constant interference in his plans.

"Chiyo-sama, don't you trust your parents' clan members, I can assure you they are the pride of our clan' replied Patriarch Chikamatsu before the Kazekage could answer.

'Damn cousin, why did you have to talk, you just helped the Kazekage get away with it' complained Ebizo and Chiyo mentally.

While the Third Kazekage smiled pleasantly as he heard what Patriarch Chikamatsu said.

"You have nothing to worry about Chiyo-sama, the ninja of our clan will not let the village down" assured Patriarch Doku.

Chiyo and Ebizo just sighed defeatedly.

"Very well, all that needs to be said has been said. Those in favor of Team 1 consisting of Magasa Chikamatsu, Shirai Doku, and Uzue Ningen participating in the Chunin exams" said the Third Kazekage quickly.

After a while, everyone present raised their hands, even Chiyo and Ebizo who were not entirely sure about this.

"Well, the council declares that from now on team 1 is officially a participant in the Chunin exams."

"Moving on to the next team, those in favor that team 16 consisting of Akira Chikamatsu, Hana Zensho and Chihiro Seishin participate in the Chunin exams"

Again all present raised their hands in favor.

"Very well, the council declares that from now on team 16 is officially a participant of the Chunin exams"

"Lastly, I would like to nominate one last team," said the Third Kazekage suddenly, causing everyone to look at him in confusion as the documents Skull had handed them were only from the members of these two groups.

"Does the Kazekage have other candidates to participate in the exams?" asked Patriarch Ningen.

"That's right, it's a group consisting of my own apprentice and two other ninjas who have managed to catch my attention," said the Kazekage.

"Wait... Kazekage, your apprentice is only 9 years old, I understand that his level is on par with any other Chunin, but he is still very young, his Chakra is still low" said Chiyo quickly.

She was pleasantly surprised with the young Rasa's current level, she believed he had the potential to be the successor to the Third Kazekage and for that same reason she didn't want him to expose himself so quickly, the Chunin exams were not a safe place for anyone.

"What my sister is trying to say, is that the Chunin exams are too dangerous for such an important genius as young Rasa, he is the future of this village and we all know how important his Kekkei Genkai is for the future development of Suna, that is why I ask you to reconsider exposing him to such unnecessary danger" explained and asked Ebizo making everyone start to murmur, many agreeing with what he was saying and others with doubts,
