Chapter 793: Qualifiers

"Come with me. ”

Azuki glanced at Naruto and the other twenty-four and said.

She walked towards the tower, and Naruto and the others were also looking around curiously.

It didn't take long for a huge gladiatorial arena to appear in front of everyone.

In the center of the arena, there is a seal gesture carved in stone.

On its side, there were many figures.

The upper ninja mentors of Konoha and Sand Ninja.

"Mr. Stop the Water!"

"Kakashi-sensei!"

Naruto and Sakura beckoned to their teacher, respectively.

Shisui smiled and nodded at them, while Kakashi's eyes were fixed on the book in his hand.

Hearing Sakura's call, he raised his eyes and beckoned to Sasuke and the others.

"Well, it looks like the teacher doesn't care if we actually passed the exam or not..."Sakura pursed her lips, and Kakashi's eyes continued to fall on the book in his hand as he waved to them.

Sasuke didn't care, and continued to observe the surroundings of the dueling arena.

"Hehe, congratulations to everyone for successfully passing the second exam. ”

At this moment, a hearty laugh fell on everyone's ears.

"Dad?"

"Daddy?"

Following this incomparably familiar voice, Naruto Asa Yu and everyone else suddenly raised their eyes in the direction from which the voice came.

On the second floor of the gladiatorial arena, a blonde man in a white robe was looking down.

It's the Water Gate.

Mizuto heard Naruto and Asa Yu's call, glanced at them, smiled and nodded.

"The four generations of Hokage!?"

And the rest of the people, especially the sand ninja, when they saw the water gate, there was a look of horror in their eyes.

Because the name of Watergate is too loud in today's ninja world.

The name of Konoha golden glitter still exists today.

But when Watergate actually stood in front of them, the difference from imagination was really huge.

Because of the Nine-Tails Chakra, even if Mizumon is now in his thirties, it doesn't look like his appearance has changed too drastically.

The gentle smile on his face was really difficult to associate with the flash of light that made the ninja powers terrified in the ninja war.

I have always been indifferent, and my eyes are also inadvertently on the water gate.

"Bang!"

His heart trembled violently, and my Airo's complexion changed dramatically.

"It's... Are you scared?"

I Airo clearly felt just now that the monster that was lodged in his body had a sense of fear at the moment when he looked at the previous four generations of Hokage.

It almost made him unbelievable.

He obviously didn't feel the aura of danger from the man in front of him.

I don't know that in the Third Shinobi War, Mizumon once fought with Shouzuru.

And that confrontation ended with the defeat of the crane in his body.

Mizumon also sensed the fluctuations in the Shouhe in my Airo's body, and raised his eyebrows slightly.

His eyes swept over all the candidates, and the list of qualified candidates for this second survival trial was not much different from what he had estimated in his mind before.

Shikamaru, Ya, Sasuke, and Naruto, although they are all newcomers, most of them are the heirs of the major famous families in Konoha.

They have been nurtured since childhood, and of course they are not comparable to ordinary people.

Konoha has been established for decades, and there are only a handful of powerful representatives among civilian ninjas.

There were only a handful of people besides himself.

Most of the backbone of the village still comes from major families.

"Now, Hokage-sama would like to explain the matters related to the third exam!" said Azuki, who was wearing a headset.

Everyone looked at the water gate.

Watergate turned straight and began a simple explanation.

The general content is that the so-called joint Zhongnin test is like a small war between major powers.

Through the exam, the quality and strength of the new generation of ninjas are tested, and this is used as a reference.

These factors will affect the number of missions a ninja village accepts, political diplomacy, and so on.

Even if Konoha now has the existence of the Water Gate and is firmly at the head of the five ninja powers, after all, the task is carried out by the people below.

Therefore, if you want the client to hand over the task to the Konoha ninja with peace of mind, Naruto's performance in the middle ninja exam is also very crucial.

As the water gate finished a brief briefing, a Konoha ninja landed in front of Naruto.

He was carrying a ninja knife on his back, and from his face, his physical condition did not seem to be very good.

"My name is Moonlight Blizzle, and I'm going to be your judge. The man said.

"Verdict?" everyone was stunned.

Moonlight Blast, nodded, and said, "Actually, the number of people who passed the second exam this time is still too many. ”

"So, next, all these people in the room are going to face a qualifier. ”

"Only if you win in the qualifiers will you be able to qualify for the third exam. ”

"How so..."

Sakura's expression changed slightly, this mid-ninja exam was much more difficult than she imagined.

"Next, everyone will draw lots to decide the opponent in the preliminaries. ”

Moonlight Blizzard didn't say too much, and behind him was a shinobi staff member who walked over holding a white box.

"There are eight groups of 24 people in the whole stadium, and the qualifiers will be divided into 12 games. ”

"Inside the box, there are two balls of the same color from one to twelve. ”

"The person who draws the same number is the same group, that is, the opponent. ”

"The numbers, from lowest to highest, represent the order in which they appear. ”

The staff brought the box to Naruto and his party, and they drew lots separately.

“1”

Looking at the number in his hand, Naruto was slightly stunned, he didn't expect that he would draw the first one.

He immediately looked at Qianyu, who had the number "7", and the letter had "11"

"Great, none of us were in the same group. ”

With a shallow smile, she approached Sasuke's place at this time.

Sasuke drew "2", Sakura was "6", and the number in Sakai's hand turned out to be "11"

In that case, wouldn't Shin and Sakai be fighting. ”

Naruto's face changed, the relationship between these two people was very good.

But I didn't expect them to face each other in the preliminaries.

"Sakai, you have to work hard next, I won't show mercy. ”

Shin smiled at Sakai.

"Well, I'll do my best to fight Shin-senpai!" Sakai chuckled as well.

"These two people are really weird. ”

Seeing that the two of them were actually each other, Naruto raised an eyebrow when he showed a gentle smile at each other.

...

"Hokage-sama, this is the list of opponents in the qualifiers. ”

The staff handed a statistical form to Watergate.

Group 1: Naruto Naruto Yamakawa VS Yamakawa Wind

Group 2: Sasuke Uchiha vs Inuzuka Ya

Group 3: Iaira VS Nishimajo

...

Group 6: Sakura Haruno VS Ino Yamanaka

Group 11: Nobu VS Sakai

"The first one..."

After seeing the list, Mizuto smiled and glanced at Naruto who was eager to try it below.

Naruto's opponent was a Konoha ninja who was several years above him.

After reading the list, he handed it back to the staff and disappeared in an instant.

So far, Naruto and Asa Yu have been mentored by him, Kushina, Jiraiya-sensei, and Tsunade-senpai.

So, after seeing the qualifier list, he had already determined that Naruto and Asa Tryst would advance, and there was no need to look any further.

...

Once the group is decided, the qualifiers officially begin!

Naruto stood in the dueling arena, and the opponent standing opposite him was much taller than him.

"Brother, come on!" cheered him loudly.

"Hmm. Naruto nodded heavily and looked back, staring intently at his opponent.

"The first one, begin!"

As the voice of the moonlight blast fell, the first competition officially began.

"The Technique of Multiple Shadow Clones!"

As soon as Naruto came up, he used all his strength, and hundreds of shadow clones covered the floor and walls of the gladiatorial arena.

His opponent was horrified, this man had never encountered an enemy like Naruto before.

After a fight, Naruto won the first battle unsurprisingly.

Naruto jumped and landed beside Asa Yu, looking sideways at Sasuke with a rather smug expression.

Sasuke didn't bother to pay attention to him, and jumped into the duel arena.

He raised his eyes and looked at the teeth in front of him with an indifferent expression.

The tooth is also used in the family secret technique, Inuzuka flow orc method.

Akamaru, who has been following him, is his combat partner, and under the joint efforts of one man and one dog, his combat effectiveness has skyrocketed.

Facing him, Sasuke was not too easy.

However, there was still a gap in the strength of the two sides, and with the cooperation of Sasuke's exquisite shuriken skills and fire escape ninjutsu, Akamaru temporarily lost his combat effectiveness, and his teeth were knocked down.

"That kid's approach is different from the average Uchiha...", Tooth was defeated, and his guide Shinobu Yuri frowned slightly to evaluate Sasuke's fighting style.

"Huh. ”

Shisui chuckled, Sasuke's fighting style was very similar to that of a man.

His older brother, Itachi Uchiha.

...

The third scene.

My Airo's opponent is also a Konoha ninja.

And in the face of him, this young man named Nishimajo, no matter how he attacked, he couldn't even break through the defense formed by the sand on his body.

Finally, when Nishimajo was almost exhausted, I Airo raised his palm, and the sand in the gourd behind him swirled, turning into a big hand and grabbing the former.

While arresting him, I Airo looked at the high platform, Sasuke Naruto Ninji and the others, with a bit of banter in his eyes.

That's how I'm telling them that this is what will happen to them.

Immediately, his palms slowly clenched.

"Ahh

Saijoma's screams resounded throughout the gladiatorial arena.

"This guy!"

Naruto's face was furious, and Sasuke Ninji and the others also frowned.

In the big hands formed by the sand, blood gradually seeped out...

As soon as Aira let go, Saijoma's body fell limply.

"The third game, the winner, I love Luo!"

Moonlight Blaster announced the result with a solemn face, and then Konoha's medical ninja appeared next to Saijoma.

"Don't worry, I won't kill him. I grinned and jumped onto the platform.

...

The game continued.

Sakura and Ino, who are both friends and rivals, meet in the qualifiers, and the two show a battle that is not very flashy, but it is also extraordinarily exciting.

In the end, both men exhausted their strength at the same time, and the draw ended.

The seventh game, the wind is shallow VS Kanjiuro!

In the gladiatorial arena, there was a slight anger on his shallow and delicate little face, staring at Kankuro in front of him.

Before the start of the middle ninja exam, Kankuro and the others had troubled Naruto and them, plus Kankuro's malicious interference in the first exam and my Airo's cruel methods to the Konoha ninja just now.

Now these sand ninjas in front of him have become extremely disgusted.

Swish!

As the words of the moonlight blast announced the start of the battle fell, the shallow figure turned into a golden light and swept towards Kankuro.

Kanjiuro didn't dare to be the slightest slack, and directly sacrificed his puppet to fight.

I have to say that although this guy hates it, he does have good strength.

With the cooperation of the puppet, even the shallow ghost is not able to get close to the smooth.

After more than a dozen rounds of stalemate between the two sides, the palm of the shallow ghost turned over, and he held a strangely shaped kunai in the palm of his hand.

"Buzz. ”

As her palms slowly clenched, there was a faint wind blade lingering on top of the kunai.

"That's, Hokage-sama's special kunai?"

On the high platform, the group of upper ninjas were shocked when they saw the shallow movements.

"She's been able to infuse the Wind Escape Chakra into the kunai!" Ape Fei Asma mused.

Asa Yu was able to preliminarily grasp Tsunade's strange powers, indicating that her manipulation of Chakra had reached an extremely sophisticated level.

So, just by simply manipulating the chakra nature of the wind, she was still able to do it.

The shallow figure flashed again, and the target locked on the chakra line where Kankuro manipulated the puppet, and slashed down.

The chakra line was directly cut off by the shallow shadow.

Kankuro didn't have a chance to re-manipulate the puppet at all, and his shallow figure rushed over.

After a few rounds, the girl, who was shorter than him, aimed the kunai's pointed tip at his throat.

In those beautiful blue eyes, the anger had not completely faded.

She gritted her teeth, then swung her fist and slammed it into Kankuro's chest.

"Poof!"

A terrifying strange force directly caused Kankuro to cough up blood foam, fly upside down, and then crash into the wall of the dueling arena.

Kankuro's figure is embedded directly in the wall.

After winning the victory, the shallow darkness swept back to the high platform, and the tense complexion slowly unfolded.

Those who knew her well all showed an incredible expression.

Growing up, even Naruto had never seen it, and Asa Yu was really angry and hit people so hard.

However, this time, if it were him, he would only be more ruthless than Qianyou.

The shallow ruthlessness made the ninjas on the Konoha side look excited.

All eyes were on my Aira.

The latter, who was holding his arms, indifferently glanced at Kankuro, who was being carried away by the Konoha medical ninja in the field, and snorted lightly.

"What a piece of rubbish!"

...
