Chapter 103: Qualifiers
In the Tower of the Heart of the Dead Forest, after five days and a total of 120 hours of brutal trials, Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura finally arrived at the mission location of the exam before the time deadline.
After opening the Heaven and Earth Book and passing through the explanation of the herald Iruka, the three of them understood the meaning of the words spoken by the three generations on the wall.
Without much stopping, the three of them arrived in the hall of the tower. All the shinobi who passed the second exam were gathered here, and a total of seven teams stood neatly.
Qingyang stood behind Miyo and looked at Naruto in the crowd and felt very relieved. To be honest, before this, Qingyang was not optimistic that the few of them would successfully pass the second exam.
Naruto and Sasuke are not the kind of ninjas who are survival, so they have no problem fighting their opponents, and they are very good at this. But none of them are the type who are really good at surviving in complex environments. As for Sakura, her knowledge can't be effectively translated into real power at the moment. Their ability to emerge from this dangerous forest of death was indeed beyond the sun's expectations.
However, although there are many thoughts in his heart, now is not the time for Qingyang to diverge his thoughts. Because the three generations of Hokage standing in front of him had almost finished speaking. That's when it's time for him to come out.
Qingyang came out of the crowd and half-knelt on the ground.
"Hokage-sama, I'll take care of the rest. ”
Because the arrangements had been made in advance, the three generations did not feel a trace of surprise, and naturally handed over the affairs here to him to preside.
"Alright, now that you've passed the second exam, let's start the qualifiers for the third exam. ”
"Qualifiers?!"
All the candidates shouted in unison, not understanding why there was a so-called qualifier.
"As the three generations of adults said just now, the Zhongnin exam is actually a microcosm of the war between villages. The people who make it to the third exam are the elite ninjas from each village. First of all, there should not be too many people. And now you've passed through seven squads. The number of twenty-one people clearly exceeded our expectations. So here is another qualifier. I am the examiner of this field. ”
Qingyang's words were immediately rebounded as soon as they came out, first of all, this kind of successive exams made these usually arrogant ninjas very unhappy, and now they still have to continue to toss them. The second is that the appearance of Qingyang does not look so convincing. The first thing that was extremely arrogant in the sound ninja was that he was not convinced.
"What are you kidding? You're not much older than us, are you? Why can you be our examiner?!"
......
"Shut up !!"
Qingyang roared, unabashedly releasing his murderous aura. Staring at Sack as his eyes swept back and forth over all of them.
The people in the venue were shocked by his sudden surprise, and the air seemed to have become a lot colder.
"I'm a special forbearance, and you're just a bunch of immature fools! If I want to kill you, none of you here can resist......"
The murderous threat silenced the, who were still angry, and they seemed to realize that the examiners of the Zhongnin exam seemed to be the most dangerous one so far.
"It's all right now, right?"
Retracting the momentum, Qingyang asked lightly. Shack, whose back was already covered with sweat, subconsciously nodded.
After getting everyone's tacit answer, Qingyang continued.
"In that case, I'll briefly explain the content of the qualifiers. To put it simply, it's a one-on-one match, so it's an individual match. Due to time constraints, the qualifiers will start soon. If any of you feel unwell, you can now request to quit without affecting your teammates. Think about it. ”
For Qingyang's last words, many people present scoffed. After going through so many difficulties to get to this point, how can you just give up casually?
However, just when Naruto said in his heart that his eldest brother was doing something too much, now a person next to him actually raised his hand. It was the affinity senior who walked with him all the way.
"Senior, ...... you?"
Dou responded with a warm smile to Naruto.
"I'm sorry Naruto, I'm already covered in scars from the previous exam. I can't go any further. ”
As he spoke, he signaled his exit to Qingyang again.
"Yakushidou, you can leave. ”
Qingyang checked the candidate's information in his hand and confirmed the other party's name. At the same time, he also secretly wrote down the name in his heart, because he always cared about this person who seemed very unreasonable.
The three generations behind them were also talking about the situation, and after learning that the other party had actually taken the Zhongnin exam seven times, Qingyang quickly realized that there was definitely something wrong with this person!
Because he is currently presiding over the qualifiers as an examiner, Qingyang can only suppress the doubts in his heart and continue to ask other candidates.
"Is there anyone else besides him planning to quit?"
After he asked, he saw what seemed to be a minor argument between Naruto and Sasuke, and several people were muttering something to each other.
Haruhi knew that it must be Naruto and Sakura who wanted to persuade Sasuke to quit. Although he didn't know exactly what happened to Sasuke in the Forest of Death, he later learned that Orochimaru seemed to be interested in Sasuke, and even left a curse mark on Sasuke's body.
To be honest, upon learning the news, Haruyo's reaction was that he couldn't let Sasuke take the shinobi exam anymore. He had seen the power of the sigil before. Now that this dangerous power is in the body of Sasuke, the only bloodline of the Uchiha, how can such a serious matter be left unchecked?
However, in the end, his proposal was suppressed by the three generations. Although the third generation of the curse mark is also aware of its harm, but due to the previous threat of Orochimaru, the middle ninja exam cannot be changed at will, and it is best not to change the status quo easily before understanding the specific movements of the enemy, so as not to mess up the formation.
Since the three generations also said so, Qingyang had no choice but to go with the flow. And Sasuke obviously didn't want to give up, and after asking several times in a row, none of the remaining twenty people said that they wanted to quit.
"Very good, it will be much easier to get the remaining twenty people in order. After a while, ten battles will be held to select the ten winners who will finally participate in the third exam. If everyone thinks there is no problem, the qualifiers will officially begin. ”
Not wanting to waste too much time, Qingyang immediately announced the start of the game. At this time, the big screen behind them has already entered the information of the candidates present, and now the names of the two warring parties in the first round will be announced.
"Sasuke Uchiha; Red Armor"
Seeing these two names, Qingyang immediately estimated in his heart that someone should have instructed Sasuke's name to be arranged in the first round. That way, if he wins or loses, he can get out of here and get him treated.
"Please stay on both sides of the first round. The rest of the spectators went up the stairs. ”
Routinely explained the rules, and invited all irrelevant people to the second floor. Qingyang glanced at the sound ninja who led the team to shinobi suspiciously. He looked back at the two shinobi in front of him. At this moment, there are only three people standing in the center of the first floor, namely Haruyo, Sasuke, and Akagi Armor.
"Do you have any doubts about the two sides of the battle?"
"Nope. ”
"Nope. ”
"Very well, since there are no doubts on either side, the first round begins. ”
......
