Chapter 66: The Third Session of the Zhongnin Exam

It's one of the busiest days of summer. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The rising morning sun is already a little spicy, and the drops of morning dew left in the morning are dried dry.

The sunlight poured obliquely into the huge arena, and light and shadow created the dividing line between anxiety and shade.

In the stadium, Sakura and her party lined up in a line, facing the high auditorium like soldiers being reviewed.

The third game of the middle ninja exam is also about to begin.

It's just that the game was originally scheduled to start at nine o'clock, but now it's almost half past nine, and the signal for the start of the game is still far away.

The ordinary audience has already arrived, but only a small half of the distinguished guests, the famous and noble people of various countries, etc., have come sparsely.

"What the hell! Why hasn't the game started yet, it's been almost half an hour!"

Naruto, who had been waiting impatiently off the court, said grumbling as he stretched out his arms and shook his legs, moving his stiff body.

"Cut, aren't all leaders like this, if we don't let us wait for half a day, how can we show their importance? This is the style of bureaucrats!"

Sakura pursed her lips and sneered.

His eyes narrowed slightly, looking at the empty seats on the main audience.

It was the Daimyo and the nobility of the Fire Nation who were absent.

Sakura sneered, both the Hokage and the Kazekage-sama had already sat in their places on time, I really don't know where these dignitaries got the courage and face to dare to perfunctory ninjas.

Could it be that this is to give Konoha Ninja Village a dismount?

The establishment of the ninja village system in various countries brought the entire Hokage world out of the war-torn and killing Warring States period, and entered the ninja village era of great power confrontation. This system is a great step forward for the Hokage world to get rid of obscurantism, but it also buries many hidden dangers.

One country and one village, who is the leader?

The state holds the economic lifeblood of the survival of the ninja village, which has the military power to overthrow the throne of the daimyo and even conquer the country. The relationship between the daimyo and the shadow is one of mutual cooperation and mutual containment.

When the strength of the ninja village was weak, he silently became a grandson, conceding to the daimyo in exchange for various economic and material support, and accumulating strength. When they were strong, they didn't take the country into account at all, they did what they wanted, they could do whatever they wanted, and they could fight whoever they wanted, and the daimyo couldn't control them at all.

On the one hand, the daimyo hoped that the ninja village would be strong so that it would not be invaded by foreign enemies, and on the other hand, they hoped that the ninja village would be weak, so that they could control the ninja village.

It's a contradiction.

In the eyes of the Daimyo of the Fire Country and others, the current Konoha is dying of old age, the three shinobi either rebelled against the village or ran away, the Mesozoic generation is difficult to take on the important task, and the new generation is not taking over, which is the weakest time.

It is also their best moment.

They were deliberately late and had to wait for them, just to show everyone who really has the final say in this country.

Of course, these are just Sakura's guesses.

The delay in the arrival of the Daimyo nobles of the Land of Fire is due to bureaucratic style or ulterior motives, Sakura is not sure. All she knew was that Tsunade and Jiraiya were here now, and Konoha was far less weak than these people imagined. If they really have a bad idea, sooner or later this account will be settled.

There are many people who are aware of the intentions of the daimyo.

In the central stand, the three generations of Hokage glanced at the audience seemingly casually, shook his head secretly in his heart, and continued to talk and laugh with the four generations of Kazekage disapprovingly. One of the guards behind him also glanced at the empty seat of the Fire Nation Daimyō, but sneered quietly under the mask.

The daimyo wanted to knock on the ninja village, but the ninja village didn't take him seriously. In a big village like Konoha, if the daimyo dares to be too arrogant, he can be beaten at any time. Ninja Village is just to maintain the good operation of the Fire Country, so that Konoha can get the support of a country, so that he is afraid of the Daimyo.

The other shinobi off the field didn't think of so many political things.

"Sakura, Naruto, you two don't be impatient, it's a game in a while, and if you are too impetuous, you won't be able to play well!"

Hinata, who was standing between Naruto and Sakura, gently tugged at Sakura's sleeve and whispered.

Obviously he wanted to say it to Naruto, but he wanted to face Sakura, and this little shyness made Sakura laugh secretly.

Hinata, who is usually very straightforward and generous, will become a different appearance when facing someone she likes, which is really cute. It's like a lot of boys.,Usually big grin.,A pair of people you like.,Can't even speak.。

"Hinata, you should pull Naruto and tell him, I'm not impatient!"

Sakura snickered and glanced at Naruto and said, confusing Naruto and getting up, "What's wrong?"

She was about to continue teasing Hinata, but suddenly she felt something, and looked at somewhere in the stands at the same time as Hinata.

The head of the Hyuga family, Hinata Foot, the sect daughter Hanabi, and the son of the family, Ning Ci, were sitting there.

"Is that the same Sister Sakura Haruno who defeated Brother Ningji?" Although Hanabi has seen Sakura many times, he doesn't know what her strength is. I heard that Brother Ning Ci was a genius of the Hyuga family, and Sakura even defeated Ning Ci, so he pointed to Sakura under the field and asked curiously.

"Yes, that's her. Her ninjutsu is more qualified to be said to be an absolute defense than my Huitian......" Ning Ji remembered the scene of defeat at Sakura's hands again.

"My sister's friend is so powerful!

"Hanabi, a person's strength can't be judged simply by appearance, you have to remember!Ning Ci, I want to emphasize again, although every ninjutsu will have its weaknesses, but I may not be able to see it after just watching a few games, if you want to crack her ninjutsu, the better way is to find her to practice more. Rizu sat upright and said solemnly, Ning Ci hurriedly nodded yes.

"Dad, Brother Ningci, look, my sister has seen us!" Hanabi waved excitedly to Hinata under the field.

The fireworks in this world, although it is not clear why Hinata gave up the family inheritance to be a shinobi, but the sister who is strong and has a sunny personality has always been the object of her admiration, and the relationship between the two sisters is also very good.

"Hmph!" Hinata suddenly remembered that he seemed to be the last in the family to discover the strength of the eldest daughter and the soft fist that was out of shape, and when he mentioned Hinata, he subconsciously snorted and put up the head of the family, but he had to admit that Hinata did have two hits.

“…… Hanabi, you look closely, your sister's jutsu has taken a different path. Although I ask you not to learn her jutsu, there is still something worth learning!"

"Yes, Daddy!" replied obediently.

At this time, there was a commotion from the other side of the stands, and it turned out that the Daimyo and nobles of the Fire Country had finally arrived.

And that means the game is about to begin!

Off the field, the examiner standing in front of several shinobi coughed lightly and signaled Sakura and the others to stop making trouble.

"Stand still, you guys. The game is about to start, so put your faces on the audience!" Genma Shiranui, who always has a thousand books in his mouth, said lightly, "Because, the protagonists of this game, but you!"

Amid the cheers of the audience, the three generations of Hokage didn't know what means to resound his voice throughout the audience.

“…… Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for coming to watch the Naka Ninja Selection Contest held by our Konoha Ninja Village! Now, I announce that the selection competition between the nine people who passed the preliminary selection has officially begun!"

The short opening remarks burned the enthusiasm of the audience to the highest peak!

Then, after Genma introduced the rules of the game, the first round of the match finally began.

"In the first round, by Naruto Uzumaki, against Sakura Haruno!"

"Please go to the rest of the table first. ”

Under his command, the rest of the people left, leaving only Genma Shiranui, who was the chief examiner, Naruto and Sakura.

"Naruto, I can't believe that you and I will be standing here fighting!" Sakura sighed.

Naruto's blue eyes were fixed on Sakura, and he said with a smile:

"Sakura-chan, do you know? You've always been the one I've wanted to challenge the most! Although we've fought many times in the past, and it ended in my failure, I'm different today! You have to be careful, or you'll lose to me!"

"Hmph, huh?" Sakura smiled faintly and lowered her hands on her chest, "Then I'll have to look forward to it!"

"Don't worry, you must ...... You won't be disappointed!"

The two of them had already prepared for the battle, and they didn't know that Huo Genma didn't delay, and waved his hand violently-

"Leg 1...... Let's go!"

As soon as the words fell, Sakura's figure turned into an afterimage, and instantly rushed in front of Naruto and crashed into Naruto's arms!

Burst!

The two seemed to be hugging each other tightly, standing face to face.

And the kunai in Sakura's hand has been deeply stabbed into Naruto's abdomen!

A streak of blood flowed from the wound.

"So fast!" Naruto's blue eyes trembled with a hint of disbelief.

Sakura's eyes were indifferent.

There was neither the sadness of hurting a friend, nor the joy of winning the game.

Just staring coldly ahead.

The surrounding spectators watched this scene in a daze, silent, as if they couldn't believe that the first game was over so soon!

Shiranui Genma calmly watched this scene, standing in place, not saying a word.

On the rest table, Hinata quietly opened her eyes, her muscles burst out, and she was scanning the audience over and over again!

Then, Naruto fell limply to the ground, his blue eyes losing their lustre.

Sakura didn't look at Naruto on the ground, and said lightly.

"You're not slow, are you...... Naruto!"
