Chapter 73: The End of the Second Selection
"But isn't Konoha good now?
"That's right, today he appeared with those people in Konoha's middle ninja assessment, obviously with bad intentions, and it also proved that he did have a connection with those people. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info can also show that we really didn't wronged him back then, he wanted to add a fire to the development of Konoha, but these are just his own excuses to cover up the darkness in his heart, not really thinking so, doing this, forget about his bad luck today, let's continue the topic just now.
Which of you would like to form an alliance with Konoha be, be careful that it is a complete offensive and defensive alliance, and in the near future, the five great powers will surely suffer disasters, suffering, and even war!"
Hearing Tsunade's words, the originally lively conference room suddenly fell silent.
"Ah, old man, I'm getting older, Tsunade Hime, I'll go first!" Onoki hurriedly pulled the loess and flew out directly from the window.
"What's the benefit of working with Konoha?" Mizukage asked.
"What benefits do you want?"
"Big sword shark muscle!"
Chojuro wanted to say something, but he heard Mizukage continue.
"The big sword shark muscle is only the initial condition of our alliance, it is not a formal condition, as long as the Hokage, or Konoha can do it, then we will form an alliance!"
After saying that, Mizukage took Nagajuro and walked away directly.
"What about you, Lord Thundershadow?"
"I just wanted to ask, is what you just said true or false?"
"Whoever believes in me believes in me, and whoever does not believe in me does not believe!"
Thunder Shadow pondered for a moment.
"Okay, I can promise you, but not now, but when they started! Of course, we will also send people to collect information on those people, but for the time being, we can't ally with you, you know, we can put aside our grievances, but I don't know if the people below will be disobedient! So even if I sign a treaty with you now, I may not be able to really become an ally!"
"It's okay, what I put forward today is just a consideration, I don't really want to sign a contract with any of you, I will give you enough time to think about it, but if such and such a thing really happens at that time, then you can not blame me for not telling you in advance!"
"How is this possible! In that case, let's go back first!"
Tsunade looked at the Thunder Shadow who walked out of the conference room at the end, and he didn't know what he was thinking!
"Hokage-sama, it seems that they really don't have the sincerity to cooperate this time!" Shikaku walked out from behind the screen in the conference room.
"This is something that was expected early on, to be honest, if it weren't for the last time we made the move to intercept the Four Shadows, which made them feel panicked and uneasy, why did they send their own Zhongnin team to participate in the assessment this time?
If we hadn't found out, they might have been secretly probing Konoha's strength, right? Brother, why didn't he expose his strength to attract their attention? Isn't it to cover up other people's edge? Now Konoha can only hide the front, and it is not yet time to show his head, especially at present, there is a force that is staring at Konoha and wants to destroy Konoha in every possible way, and if we take the lead, let these countries be afraid of us, and then it will not be the ninja world to deal with that force, but the whole ninja world to deal with Konoha, and the war caused by this is not in the hands of that organization?
So we can only hide our strength now, Konoha can have a few successor masters, but there can't be a group of successor masters, which is why I asked my younger brother to seal Kakashi's chakra fluctuations. It's not time to show Konoha yet!"
Looking out the window, Tsunade thought of a lot of things, if he hadn't disposed of Tuanzang back then, would Konoha still be able to develop so smoothly now? I'm afraid it may not be, maybe it has already been corroded by Tuanzang and can't take on a human form, right?
"Hokage-sama, this game, from the time Madara-sama took the initiative to appear, even if it was officially handed over, we are considered to be on our own side, Madara-sama's side is not a vegetarian, but are we right? As long as the four major powers don't make trouble, then we have the hope of victory! Now we say hello to them first, so when they are calculated, designed, and besieged by Madara-sama, and when they suffer such a disaster, they will definitely enter the game obediently, these people just don't hurt, they don't know the pain. When they know that it hurts, they will naturally behave!"
"That's right, that's what I meant to be, and I didn't expect to be able to successfully ally them the first time, in fact, if it was really that easy to form an alliance, I would be uneasy, wondering if they wanted something from our Konoha. Now it seems that they don't have any big desires, except for that damn Ohnogi!
He looks like he's got me, but it's a pity, how can I take advantage of it so easily? Just let that old thing put on the score, I won't take it, but when he is in trouble, see what I do to him!"
"Isn't that a little impersonal?"
"It doesn't matter, he did it first, and no one will help him speak at that time, Mizukage and Thunder Shadow are obviously not fools, and the five major countries are just five of us, as for the Wind Shadow, to be honest, let's talk about it when the time comes.
By the way, in the next few days, we won't go to watch the game, if within 7 days, there are 15 teams gathered, then we will directly end the assessment of this section, if there are not so many teams, then wait until the time is up!"
"Okay, got it, I'll talk to Shumao. ”
"Well, then I'll go to Huaguo Mountain to live for a few days, and if they look for me, they will say that I went out to practice medicine, and I don't know where I am in Konoha. ”
"Okay, no problem. ”
"By the way, the order of the venue will trouble you and Kakashi, and the old man may not have time to help you, he has to concentrate on preparing for the battle now, Orochimaru, that bastard, if you dare to mess around, I will strip him naked and smash his snake nest!" The little snake hidden under the tiles couldn't help but tremble when he heard Tsunade's resentment, and then slowly and quietly disappeared.
"Hehe, since they all know it's me, then I can't live up to their expectations, right?" Orochimaru said to himself, and after saying it to himself, he also showed his tongue and licked it on his face.
At this point, it can be regarded as a short period of twists and turns in the Zhongnin assessment, and bigger twists and turns are still brewing.
On this day, it was the 7th day that several teams had come to Devil's Falls.
The twelve little powerhouses of Konoha had all arrived here as early as the first morning, and after they arrived here, they took a short rest and entered the training state again, besides, this was originally their previous training place.
When they reached the bottom of the waterfall again, they could clearly feel the feeling of increased strength, when they sat here before, it was not as easy as it is now, and at that time they had a load on their bodies, now that the weight has been removed, it should be easier to be washed away by the water, but now their control has increased greatly, coupled with the growth of their physique, so that they can now fully adapt to this waterfall. It's just that it's still the assessment period, so I haven't opened the mechanism of the waterfall and cultivated.
But this also made the later people feel very strange, because the 12 people of Konoha sat at the bottom of the waterfall, bearing the impact of the waterfall, everyone was in the process of cultivating, only when it was almost time to eat, one person would come out to prepare food, and when it was ready, he would call the other people out to eat, and then the next meal would be replaced by another person, and it felt like this assessment had nothing to do with them at all.
I stood in the upstairs room, looking at the people below, without speaking.
"Cut, it's not a big deal, you see, my puppet can easily withstand that kind of impact, then I can do it too! Besides, it's useless for them to do so!" Kankuro was very upset that Konoha was pretending to be.
"Don't say that, we were the first to reach it, but if you look at them, not to mention that they arrived almost at the same time, it is also very remarkable just that they have been baptized by the waterfall continuously for so many days, not to mention, those girls have not complained once!
"Idiot!" I love this young man, glanced at his brother and sister, turned around and walked to the bed, sat on the bed, and went to cultivate.
Around noon, an eagle's cry was heard over the hut, and all the ninjas who arrived at the hut knew that it was a special gathering signal, which they had learned from the scroll after arriving here.
Even the 12 people who had been cultivating opened their eyes almost at the same time and looked towards the sky.
After a while, everyone came to the open space in front of the hut, which was formerly the place where Shushige experimented with new ninjutsu.
"Ah, there are a lot of people, the way we evaluate the third competition is the competitive competition, but this competitive competition, he has a fixed number, so, so, we are going to conduct the first selection here! The selection method is this Devil's Waterfall behind you!"
"I know you don't know why it's called Devil's Falls, now let's move forward a little bit, wait for the next time it falls, don't blame me for not explaining!"
"Open!" Shu Mao spread his legs, stood firmly, and then closed his hands together, and took a Tu Dun seal, of course, it was just the simplest Tu Dun mark, and then slapped it on the ground, and in an instant the ground was like a combination lock that had been unlocked from the electronic code, and it was directly churned.
What everyone saw was the waterhole not far away, which sank directly into the ground, and even the connected rivers also sank together, and the flow of the waterfall doubled at once, and a platform was exposed under the waterfall, on which were written the word Zhongnin, and a horizontal wooden pole that ran through the left and right.
"Tsunade-sama, aren't you afraid that they will say that you Konoha leaked the exam questions without permission?"
"Don't worry, this is not an exam question, just the simplest physical fitness test, as long as the 16 people who persist the longest can enter the third assessment! ”
Shumao looked at the doubtful people and said.
"There are many wooden sticks on this waterfall, these wooden sticks are not decorations, they are the main content of your passing this assessment, first of all, I want to say that this assessment and the third assessment are both single trial assessments, and you can't pass by relying on teammates, so if you want to be lazy, or those who cheat can't, you can only go into battle by yourself, and once I find out that you are cheating, then I will directly cancel the exam qualification.
These are all precautions, so I will first introduce the main content of this assessment:
Each player who participates in the assessment,There are two hours of assessment time,We will count the total time you sit on the stick,The 16 people with the longest time will be directly promoted to the next assessment,Of course, those people in Konoha want to advance,The time they need will be divided by 2,That is to say, their actual assessment time is 2 hours,And their results can only be counted as half of their total time,This is their assessment results,If you don't rank in the top 16, you will not be able to participate in the third level of assessment。 ”
"Wouldn't that be unfair to them?"
"No, these kids are actually taking advantage of it!" Tsunade said to a few shadows beside him.
"Did you train like this early in the morning?"
"Well, he's going to cut their grades in half, and honestly, these kids only have an hour. However, I have more confidence in them and I believe that they will all pass the qualifiers. ”
"Okay, the last thing, you can't use chakra, so when you have to go to the assessment, come to me to get a chakra seal paper, and then seal the chakra before you can participate in this pre-selection assessment. I can tell you in advance, you can't underestimate this waterfall, it's normal to get hurt directly!"
"Okay, if you don't have any doubts, let's get the Chakra Seal Sticker!"
One person lined up, and then Shumao handed out chakra stickers to them, and then taught those people how to use this chakra sticker, which is actually very simple, as long as it is attached to their navel, it is very simple.
"I forgot to say, in the process of the assessment, you will not be timed if you fall off the stick, only if you sit on it safely will you be timed, even if you stand on it, you will not be timed, so please be sure to race against time, otherwise you will only have no chance with this assessment.
In addition, you are not allowed to use force, as long as you are discovered, you will voluntarily lose your qualification for the assessment! If you are not happy, you can come to me for trouble. ”
"Who would be looking for trouble with you pervert!" a group of people wailed in their hearts, if they hadn't seen your full strength, maybe someone would have gone to you for trouble, but who would dare now?
