042 The race begins
After the scrolls of the two books of heaven and earth were collected and opened, the person who appeared was not the Iruka in his memory, but an ordinary Konoha Shinobi who he didn't know. 『』
He simply introduced the annotations of the three Hokage to Konoha Nakashinobi to the three members of the seventh class, and then disappeared using the Instant Body Technique.
Although Naruto's relationship with his current self and Iruka-sensei is not as harmonious and intimate as he remembers, he is not entangled, after all, that self is that self, and he is just himself, so why force it?
"Let's go. Sasuke turned back first, walking to another passage in the room.
Since the original opponent failed to pass the second exam...... So, the one who carried the gourd, the Xiao Li who used physical techniques, the white-eyed Hinata Ningci that Xiao Li said, and the ...... Shikamaru with amazing intelligence, these people Sasuke wants to fight with one of them.
As for Naruto, don't think about it, all the shinobi in this tower can't be his opponent...... Even the middle ninja and upper ninja in those villages are hard to beat Naruto like this.
Sasuke was convinced of this.
"Ah...... Hinata, it's going to be up. Naruto said without pressure at all and easily.
"Hmm. Hinata trotted to follow.
……
After a brief break of about ten minutes, the notice of the gathering came.
The three of the seventh class came to the entrance of the next exam venue, and happened to meet Xiao Li Tiantian and Ning Ci in a group.
"Yo, Sasuke!" Xiao Li took the initiative to say hello because he had formed a team with Sasuke and had done a mission.
Sasuke nodded, in response.
"Miss Hinata-sama......" As soon as Ning Ji saw Hinata, it was as if he had seen a natural enemy, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he said with a hint of coldness, "I didn't expect you to be able to stand here, I guess it was also stained with the light of Naruto and Sasuke...... Because of your weak character, you are not suitable to be a ninja at all......!
"That's enough!" Naruto interrupted Ninji, his eyes furious, "I kept saying that the whites of my eyes had already seen through a qiē, but in fact, these eyes of yours ...... You're just staring at your own situation!Hinata's efforts, you don't see anything at all!Hinata ......."
One hand grabbed Naruto's sleeve, and he turned his head to see Hinata's pleading gaze, and his heart softened.
"Don't be like this, Naruto-kun, Brother Ninji, he also has his sufferings......"
Her tone, as soft and weak as ever, was as considerate as ever.
Hinata She ...... It's too gentle. Xiao Li, Tian Tian, and Sasuke who were present all thought more or less so.
Ning Ci looked at the two of them, his brows furrowed even deeper, and he couldn't help but mock: "You two ......"
He couldn't help but think of the trace of longing he had for the eldest lady of this sect when he was young, when he didn't have that cage on his forehead, and finally couldn't say the next words.
Then he stopped talking, just shook his head and sighed: "Hmph, it's ridiculous." With that, he walked into the entrance without looking back.
"Hey, Ningci, wait. "I hurried to keep up every day.
"Let's go, I'd love to fight you, Sasuke. Xiao Li's eyes burned with flames, and his eyes were full of eagerness when he looked at Naruto, "And you, a super genius who has been praised by Sasuke, Naruto, I really want to defeat you!"
No, that's impossible......
Sasuke and Hinata thought silently in their hearts.
"Let's go. Naruto just smiled and led the way into the entrance.
Passing through the corridor, the eyes suddenly opened up. The first thing that catches your eye is a stone sculpture of a pair of huge hands sealed, and then there are the candidates who are gathered together, as well as the responsible ninja of each ninja village who participated in this middle ninja exam...... Of course, this does not include Otoshi Village.
Three generations of Hokage and Tsunade are also among them.
"Looks like we're the last to arrive. Xiao Li and Sasuke Hinata walked up from behind Naruto.
"Xiao Li! hurry up!" waved at the crowd gathered over there every day.
"Then I'll go first. Xiao Li walked over to his team.
The seventh class also silently walked into the crowd, waiting for the three generations of Hokage to speak.
Seeing that everyone was there, the three generations of Hokage wore a shadow hat, held a pipe, and held his hands behind his back, glancing at the faces of the candidates who were either nervous, calm, or expressionless, and he said hoarsely:
"First of all, congratulations on passing the second exam. ”
"But before we start the next exam, there is one thing that must be clearly told to you, and that is that there is a real purpose for this Zhongnin exam......
In the astonished eyes of all the examiners, the three generations of Hokage explained the reason why the Chunin exam was held between the allies...... The gist of it is that the Zhongnin exam is a microcosm of a war between the Allies.
This was followed by a lecture about ninjas, about the country, about the village, and about faith...... Let's go, let's go.
The old man is still as verbose as before...... Tsunade stood sideways, unable to help but slander in his heart.
When the middle ninja exam is over, she will start preparing to take over the position of the fifth Hokage.
When the three generations of Hokage were about to speak, the chief examiner of this exam, Moonlight Blast, came out and interrupted the follow-up words of the three generations, saying, "Forgive my subordinates for being rude, but the rest of the matter will be left to me as the judge of this exam......"
Seeing that the Hokage agreed, the moonlight blast with two dark circles under his eyes as if he was terminally ill turned back to the candidates and said, "Before you take the third exam, there is something I have to tell you...... That's what comes next, the third exam pre-selection tournament where you risk your life to take the third exam......"
As soon as the voice fell, the candidates were in a commotion.
"Who is this person?" "Is he really an examiner who is in poor health?" "What are you doing, the pre-selection competition?" "Isn't it the third exam......?"
But since ancient times, it is impossible for the examiner to take the candidates' words, reactions, and psychology into account, and after announcing that the qualifiers would start soon according to the established process, Moonlight Blast asked if there were any candidates who wanted to abstain.
No one raised their hand.
Moonlight Blizzard glared at the dead fish eyes with dark circles under his eyes, and said lightly: "Has no one quit...... So, let's start the one-on-one qualifiers...... And it's all actual combat!" The implication is that in the next exam, whether you live or die depends on your ability.
Among the candidates.
"Hey, hey, hey...... Do you want to be so troublesome...... I just want to take the exam casually......" Shikamaru muttered slightly, a little speechless.
Ding Ci seized the time to binge eat potato chips.
Ino quietly went to see Sasuke on the seventh class.
Shino wears round sunglasses, and the lower half of his face is hidden in a high collar......
The teeth rubbed their hands, and the Akamaru on his head made a few sounds.
Sakura took a deep breath, her mind racing back to what she had learned, and she secretly vowed that she would seize this opportunity to impress Sasuke.
Xiao Li is tall and meticulous.
Tian Tian touched the scroll in the ninja bag behind him.
Ning Ci stood with his arms crossed, making it impossible to see his inner thoughts.
I Airo stood there expressionlessly, but his heart was churning with murderous intent, and he desperately wanted to face that fox guy...... Kill him, kill him, I really want to see that guy become like me......
Kankuro and Temari feel that I love Luo Qing xù is a little unstable dìng, and they are very scruples.
The three of Otoshinobi are resentful of Sasuke who was not found in the second exam, and they strongly want to confront that Sasuke and kill him......
"In that case...... Well, now the names of the two candidates who participated in the first round of the battle will be announced. Moonlight Blizzle said as a rectangular screen slowly appeared in a corner of the wall behind him, and the names of fifteen candidates flashed rapidly on the screen.
Drop, the picture freezes.
Ninji Hinata vs Kankuro
Seeing this result, Naruto Hinata Sasuke and the three of them all looked at each other in surprise.
……
Hey, I met the eyes I didn't want to face......
Kankuro was unhappy in his heart, but there was no way, during the ninja war, the last thing the puppeteers of Shayin wanted to encounter was Konoha's Hinata White Eyes...... Because in those eyes, there are no secrets about their puppet tricks and the chakra lines that manipulate the puppets.
Even if it's not that he doesn't have the confidence to win the annoying Hinata's little ghost, in order to keep the crow's secret, Kankuro slowly raised his hand:
"Excuse me...... I chose to abstain. ”.
ps: After carefully reviewing the manga, I found out that the Chinese ninja exam is an activity between the allies, so there should be no ninjas from Yunyin and Iwakuin or even Mist Hidden who participated in this exam...... Probably only Konoha and Sand and many small ninja villages.
