Chapter 176: The Third Scene of the Zhongnin Assessment
The last three generations of Hokage still agreed to Mitarai Red Bean's order to hunt down Orochimaru, but did not agree to the other party's request to suspend the Shinobi exam.
He knew that Orochimaru would never kill this disciple of his, but if the other party wanted to destroy Konoha, instead of letting the other party act like a poisonous snake in secret, it was better to take the initiative to send the target to him.
After Mitarai Azuki left the office, the three generations of Hokage looked at the portraits of his two teachers, and then thought back to the time when Orochimaru studied with him, and became more and more determined in his heart.
"Orochimaru, I will never allow you to destroy Konoha, I would rather go and kill you permanently with the rest of my life."
The three generations of Hokage donned the same armor they wore when they were younger, a habit left over from ancient ninjas.
On the outside of the armor, he put on a robe that the Hokage usually wears, and the robe has the third Hokage written on it with red paint, which is his responsibility.
……………………………………
On the other side, inside the examination room of the Zhongnin exam.
Mitarai Azuki's original idea of eliminating more students from the exam has finally come true, and the content of the second assessment is far more severe and strict than the first assessment.
Ninja squads that do not collect the Scroll of Heaven and Earth will be eliminated, Ninja squads that have opened the Scroll of Heaven or Earth in advance will be eliminated, and Ninja squads that have successfully collected Scrolls of Heaven and Earth within three days will be eliminated.
And the other ninja squads that were robbed of the scroll will naturally be eliminated, and the ninja squads that were killed by other ninjas or beasts in the Death Forest because of their own strength will naturally be eliminated without saying more.
All in all, this middle ninja exam is to show the strength of the Konoha Ninja Village in the Land of Fire, so the quality of this exam is also very high, and the requirements are naturally very difficult, even if it is a ninja who is in the same grade as Sasuke and them before, and even a ninja who is a year higher than Sasuke, they have also failed.
Such requirements can be regarded as very strict for the ninjas of some small ninja villages, so basically few of the ninjas in those small ninja villages can successfully pass the assessment.
But that doesn't mean that there aren't a few people who can successfully pass this exam, even in small ninja villages. It's just that Sasuke knows very well that they are three subordinates led and taught by the three Orochimaru who were seriously injured by him.
Sasuke saw very clearly at the time that he had easily broken the other party's limbs, but the three of them were standing here unharmed.
Next, the examiner of the third assessment came to ask if any of Sasuke would choose to withdraw from this middle ninja exam.
Sasuke originally thought that no one would choose to quit, but to Sasuke's surprise, the white-haired and glasses-wearing Shinobu of Konoha who had collected character information cards before the first exam actually chose to quit.
This made Sasuke a little curious, but he didn't pay too much attention to it.
The content of the next assessment naturally does not need to be said, after passing the assessment of intelligence collection and the assessment of the battle, the third assessment actually has nothing to do with the Zhongnin assessment.
Because the real purpose of this Zhongnin assessment is really just to show the strength that Konoha has now, and it is not for other substantive meaning at all.
So the next battle is a one-on-one battle between ninjas, but it's actually a mostly spectatorial match.
Generally, such a game only needs to be gorgeous enough to make the client of the task feel that the money he spends in Konoha is more worthwhile, and it is enough to feel that the success rate of the mission in Konoha is higher, and he doesn't really care who wins and who loses, after all, the person who becomes a middle ninja at the end of this middle ninja exam may not be the one who wins until the end.
Sasuke is naturally not interested in such an assessment, but out of concern for his family's honor, Sasuke does not allow himself to lose ugly.
However, after looking around, Sasuke found that although there were many people who could be his opponents, there were really few people who could really win against him.
The ninjas who can stay here are basically Konoha Village's own ninjas, after all, it is impossible for Konoha to let the ninjas of other villages show their might in Konoha's middle ninja exam.
However, I Airo, Kankuro and the Temari team, who had been very concerned about Sasuke before, are still here, and it is obvious that the previous two exams did not stop each other.
And Sasuke can see very clearly, on my Airo's body, there will be a faint glow of blood red and bright red dark chakra like Naruto Uzumaki's.
However, Sasuke didn't take it to heart, although the bright red chakra that came out of Naruto Uzumaki's body did bring a lot of strength to Naruto Uzumaki in a short period of time, but yesterday I thought that even in that situation, Naruto Uzumaki was not his opponent, although I Ai Luo's body seems to have a lot more chakra, but as long as I am careful enough, there should be no problem.
In this way, he waited in the stands with Naruto Uzumaki and Sakura Haruno, waiting for his turn to fight, but what he didn't expect was that he was the first in the order of battle.
And Sasuke's opponent is the three subordinates who belonged to Orochimaru who were defeated by Sasuke and Nara Shikamaru's team before, Sasuke still has a lot of impressions of them, after all, their ninjutsu is indeed very troublesome.
Sasuke had just walked into the middle of the arena, and before Sasuke could say anything, the music on the other side laughed wildly, and at the same time, it looked like he was going to defeat Sasuke immediately.
"Last time, it was because of your companion that you were able to escape from my hands so well, but today you met me again, and you are not so lucky."
One thing to say, the words of this sound ninja did bring a lot of impact to the surrounding audience, although Sasuke said that his reputation was not obvious, but the reputation of the Uchiha clan was still famous in the entire ninja world, and without knowing what happened at the time, his statement did arouse the curiosity of many people.
However, Sasuke is not in the mood to talk to the other party, for Sasuke, the other party is just a defeated subordinate, and he is a defeated subordinate who is not ashamed.
Just when Shiranui Genma announced the start of the battle, Sasuke was ready to defeat the opponent with a direct blow.
