Chapter Forty-Seven: The Much-Anticipated Contest

Soon, Sarutobi Chika, along with Sasuke Uchiha, stayed in the battle area in the center of the arena.

As for the others, at this moment, they had already left the battle area one after another and walked to the stands on both sides of the stadium.

And not long after.

Central of the field.

With an order from Gangzitieβ€”β€”

The competition has officially begun!

Sarutobi Akka and Uchiha Sasuke, both of them start to make moves at the same time!

At the same time, above the stands, Hei Jue stood beside Ochre Yuechuan Noriki, and involuntarily began to analyze the game.

In the past, because he had to hide in the dark, and he really didn't have much strength, so at that time, he was very yearning for this kind of hearty battle between strong people.

Therefore, in addition to gathering intelligence, his favorite thing to do is to run to the battlefield where the strong fight and watch them fight from afar.

Later, he seized the opportunity created by Madara Uchiha and lived in Bai Jue's body, and it was from then on that he began to talk to Bai Jue, and from time to time he would analyze and discuss the battle situation in front of him.

After that, whenever he learned that there was a strong battle in the world, he would come to the scene with Bai Jue to discuss, and over time, it became a habit.

And now, even if there is no Bai Jue around him, he subconsciously nags Zhe Yuechuan Dian beside him.

Hei Jue stared at the battlefield below, and frowned slightly: "The kunai that Chihua shot at the head is to make a feint attack on Sasuke, and her real purpose is actually to induce Sasuke to have a flaw in his footwork, you look at her current starting posture, it is obvious that she is going to attack Sasuke's lower lane, Dianqi, what do you think?" ”

"Huh? Is it? Is there such a thing? ”

Zhe Yuechuan said with a puzzled expression.

He only saw Sarutobi Chika throwing out a few kunai at Sasuke's face, but he hadn't thrown them yet.

That's all.

Black Jedi: "......"

The air beside the two of them instantly froze.

There was a moment of silence, and the black and white glanced at it.

Is this guy going to work......

This is too far from Bai Jue!

He couldn't talk to him at all!

At this moment, Hei couldn't help but sigh a little, and he thought of the scene of the members of the roots of the Great War in the Konoha Forest at that time.

I have to say that the system escape technique of Zhe Yuechuan is still too strong, and it can turn such a combat idiot into a strong man with extremely rich combat experience in an instant.

If he had the chance, he would definitely acquire this ability and see what the essence of this system retreat technique was.

With that in mind, he turned his gaze back to the center of the court and continued to mumble about the game.

At this moment, in the center of the venue, two figures flickered and moved, fighting together.

And in the battle between the two, Sarutobi Chihua can be said to have calculated every move of Uchiha Sasuke's move, and he was pressing Sasuke throughout the whole process.

At this moment, the Konoha ninjas on the viewing platform all knew in their hearts that Ape Fei Chihua was indeed recovering her strength.

After all, it is the best of the newly promoted shinobi, Sasuke Uchiha, if he only has combat experience but no strength, he will not be able to achieve this level.

That's when it happened.

Whoosh!

Three sounds of breaking the air sounded.

Center of the field.

Sarutobi Chika found the opportunity and shot three kunai from Sasuke's blind spot, shooting at Sasuke's arm!

If he is hit directly, Sasuke will not be able to seal this game!

Kunai's flight speed was extremely fast, and he reached Sasuke's side in the blink of an eye, and when Kunai was only a finger's distance from Sasuke's body!

Swish!

The body suddenly curled up into a strange posture, and the three kunai brushed shoulders with the sharp sound of breaking the wind, and at this moment, Sasuke instantly opened the three-hook jade writing wheel eye and dodged this move!

However, due to the late opening of his eyes, the three kunai still scratched Sasuke's skin, causing his clothes to shatter, revealing his blood-stained shoulders!

At the same time, in the stands.

Many examiners from other villages were shocked in their hearts, Uchiha Sasuke, at this age, he had already opened the Three Hooks Jade Writing Wheel!

It's really worthy of the name of Konoha as a new ninja three days ago!

However, compared to the shock of the invigilators in the outer villages, the invigilators in Konoha were all puzzled at the moment.

Especially the ape flying sun, he looked at the battle below, and his face suddenly became solemn.

"This ...... What's going on? ”

Ape Flying Sun muttered.

Not far away, Hongdou obviously also noticed the abnormality of Sasuke's body, she took three steps and made two steps, walked to Sarutobi's side with a bad expression, and said in a low voice: "Hokage-sama, look at Sasuke Uchiha's shoulder......"

"Hmm...... I saw it, Sasuke's body...... There are no spell marks. ”

Ape Fei Ri took a deep puff of cigarette, spit out the cigarette again, and said to the red bean: "I remember...... The first marks of the spell mark don't appear outside the shoulder, right? ”

Azuki nodded and affirmed, "Yes, Hokage-sama." ”

"If that's the case, the spell is ...... It's not Sasuke at all? ”

At this moment, Ape Fei Ri Slash was also puzzled, and Orochimaru ...... This rebel of his will never let go of the prey he fancies, even if he kills the prey, he will not let the prey go!

And this prey, everyone also thinks that it will be the genius seedling of the Uchiha family, Uchiha Sasuke!

But now it seems that they guessed the wrong object.

In other words, Sasuke Uchiha, who is fighting right now, is not Orochimaru's target at all, his target is ...... Someone else!

Moreover, Orochimaru's vision is not bad, he will not look down on a mediocre talent, therefore, the person he likes must be in this examination room, among the group of candidates.

But who is it?

Red flowers?

Ningci?

Or I'm Luo from Sand Hidden Village?

If it's him, it's a problem......

However, at the moment, only these three people can enter Orochimaru's eyes, but none of the three of them seem to have been implanted with a curse mark at present......

It can't be a thousand absolute and canon, right?

At this moment, Ape Fei Ri was dumbfounded by his thoughts, and it was useless for him to guess now.

"Hokage-sama, or ......"

At this time, Hongdou saw the embarrassment of the ape flying sun, gritted his teeth and said: "Just suspend this game, find out who the curse mark is on first, and then continue the game!" ”

She knew what Hokage-sama was struggling with at the moment.

And compared to Hokage-sama, she is more aware of the danger of the spell mark, and the power is nothing, but she is afraid that the spirit of the caster will be eroded to a critical point, and she will suddenly go crazy without warning and attack the people around her!

Many of them are shinobi from outside the village, and if those people are suddenly killed, it is likely to escalate to a diplomatic issue.

Even if it doesn't work out in the end, it will become a lever for other countries!

However, in the face of Red Bean's worries, Ape Fei Ri still shook his head: "Wait and see, if there is really an accident, aren't you also there?" ”

"You go talk to Kakashi, keep an eye on it, stay vigilant, and stop the game as soon as there is a sign of a spell outbreak!"

"Yes!" Red Bean nodded.

Just as Azuki conveyed Hokage-sama's instructions to the other Konoha proctors, in the examination room below, the battle between Sarutobi Akka and Sasuke Uchiha was also decided.

Sasuke, who opened the three-hook jade writing wheel, attacked frantically, but each move was still defused by Sarutobi Chihua one by one, until in the end, Sasuke, who had no strength, was caught in the throat by Chihua with kunai and had to declare the game defeated.

"Winner, Ape Fei Chihua!"

As Gangzitie loudly announced the results of the game, the stands suddenly became noisy.

"I didn't expect it to be that ape Fei Chihua's skills, it seems that her strange disease has really been cured."

"She used to be a special ninja, so I can only say that Sasuke didn't lose unjustly."

On the side, someone said helplessly: "However, this is cheap to be in the same group as her, it seems that the exam of the Death Forest, they have indeed borrowed a lot, and they are really lucky!" ”

Some people also quipped: "Haha, if luck is also part of the strength, then they are really strong!" ”

"Hahaha......"

As soon as these words came out, many people also laughed with them, but under the smile, there was a lot of bitterness hidden.

How come they don't have this kind of luck?

I feel uncomfortable and want to cry!

However, everyone quickly laughed at this incident.

Because at this moment, the big screen has already mapped the list of matchups for the next game.

[Inuzuka vs Choji Akimichi]

In the stands, Kurojue leaned against the wall, squinting his eyes, ready to rest for a moment.

After all, the battle between two weak ones equivalent to 0.5 wind power is nothing to see at all.

However, as soon as he closed his eyes, there was a begging voice from Zhen Yuechuan beside him: "Hey, Qianjue, don't sleep, you can explain the game again!" ”

Black and white, you can't understand it, and let me explain what to say?

β€œβ€¦β€¦ I refuse. He said impatiently.

Seeing that Hei would never agree, Zhe Yuechuan smiled slightly and said, "You can talk about it again, I'll invite you to eat Ichiraku's ramen when I go back!" ”

He just listened to his teammate muttering about a whole game, at first he felt a little disturbed, but then the more he listened, the more he felt reasonable, the more he listened, the more he felt insightful, and finally he even liked the commentary!

After all, although he has the boosting mode, he himself knows nothing about combat, so he can learn a lot of knowledge that he can't usually learn by listening to Qianjue's commentary.

However, it seems that the temptation is not big enough, and Hei Jue still did not agree to the commentary game.

Seeing that Hei never reacted, Dianqi stretched out two fingers: "Please eat for two days!" ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

"Three days!"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

"A week!"

"Ahem...... The following one should be Akido Dingji and Inuzuka Ya, both of whom are families that have inherited the traditional secret art of Konoha and the two of them are also the direct descendants of their respective families......"

Hei Jue looked at the two people below who had already begun to fight, and said lightly.

It's not that he likes these bowls of ramen, but mainly to review the secret techniques of these traditional families in Konoha and reduce some obstacles to the plan to resurrect his mother in the future.

……

……

And just like that, a few rounds of play down.

There are already a lot of people gathered around the Black Jue, Naruto and the three of them are also there, and even Sarufei Chihua is also among them, although she is a little farther away, but it can be clearly seen that her attention is also here, this group of people, are silently listening to the Black Jue commentary game.

When the game on the current field was over, everyone woke up like a dream and came back to their senses from the black commentary.

At this moment, the lower ninjas in the outer village are okay, after all, they are unfamiliar, but at this moment, most of the lower ninjas in Konoha are a little incredulous.

The night at the end of the crane has really transformed!

When they took the first exam, they were already quite surprised by their performance, but now, they are even more surprised!

This kind of analysis and interpretation of the battle situation is really not a level that Shinobi can have!

It can be seen that Qianjue should really have made a lot of effort in this aspect of theory!

At this moment, many people have changed their views on the identity of Qianjue's crane tail from the bottom of their hearts, but as for the strength, they don't think Qianjue will be strong.

After all, it has only been four months since he graduated, and with his current theoretical knowledge to this extent, he must not have time to improve his strength at all.

As for the possibility that the strength has also been improved?

That's definitely not the case!

If he really had such a talent, he would never have been crane at the end.

Meanwhile.

The other side of the stands.

As the number of matches increased, the faces of the Konoha proctors became more and more solemn.

Hokage-sama instructed them to always be on the lookout for unusual surprises in the game, which was the explosion of the power of the curse.

But after their observation, none of the people on the field who had finished the game had a curse mark on their bodies, not even the slightest sign of existence!

This can only mean that candidates with curse seals have not yet played in the competition, but they can ...... The further back they go, the heavier their psychological burden becomes, because the rest of the ninja powerhouses who can be favored by Orochimaru are basically the only ones left......

And if it's really him...... That's going to be a big problem......

……

With the gradual progress of the competition, more and more candidates have advanced to the official competition, and more and more candidates have been eliminated.

After the completion of the twelfth group of games, except for the draw of Zhe Yuechuan to advance, 24 of the 26 people present have already participated in the competition.

In the end, there were only two people left.

As for who those two are, there is no need to announce them on a big screen.

After all, everyone is watching.

Sandstorm's Iro, and ...... A Thousand Nights......

At this moment, most of the people were sympathetic and looked at Hei Jue in unison.

Even those who wanted to see him make a fool of themselves before are now sympathetic!

I Ailuo in Shayin Village, the only one who passed the exam unscathed in the second exam of the middle ninja exam, and the time, it is said that it only took 97 minutes, breaking the fastest record in the history of the middle ninja exam!

Such a guy, the strength is no longer comparable to their ordinary lower ninjas, not to mention Qianjue, a guy who used to be the tail of a crane in terms of strength, and spent all his time studying theoretical knowledge after graduation?

This is not a fight at all!

However, if you look at it from another angle, this should be a game that everyone is looking forward to, but this is a game with an extremely large disparity, and everyone can see how badly Qianjue can lose.

At the same time, on the other side of the stands, the mood of Ape Fei Sun Slash also completely fell to the bottom, because right now, the worst situation has appeared.

Eliminate all known options, and the rest, even if unbelievable, is ...... the right choice!

"Orochimaru, that nasty thing...... I actually shot at my Airo in Shayin Village, ah......! ”

Ape Feiri bit his pipe with a cold face, and there was a faint crack on the pipe......

This is definitely a matter of diplomacy......

Not far away.

Seeing that the student he was so proud of had encountered such an opponent, Moonlight Blast's face couldn't help but change!

That Iaro is not only the strongest at the moment, but even ...... Even Orochimaru's curse mark is on his body, this is really too dangerous, if the curse mark breaks out in the middle of the battle, it will be ...... Probably dead!

Even if he really wanted Qianjue to give him a face, but if he even took his life for this, it would be too much to lose! He will not risk the lives of his students for his own face!

Thinking about it, Moonlight Wind hurriedly walked to the side of Ape Fei Ri Slash, gritted his teeth and said, "Ahem...... Hokage-sama, do you want to suspend the game first, isolate Airo from the Sand Hidden Village for the time being, and then continue the game? ”

Ape Fei Ri's face was also very entangled, and he said in a low voice: "I also want to stop this game, but I'm afraid that the people in Shayin Village will have a whisper......"

However, after a moment of silence, Ape Fei Ri Slash still let out a sigh of relief and said: "No way, Blast, you go and negotiate with the Shangnin Maki of Sand Hidden Village, and say that my Airo has some signs of being bitten by poisonous insects in the Death Forest, if it is a poisonous attack, it is likely to cause confusion, and it must be examined!" ”

"You just say that to him, and as for believe it or not, that's their business!"

Hurricane said with relief: "Yes! Hokage-sama. ”

Soon.

Blast made contact with Maki in the village of Sand Hide.

When he learned that I-Airo's sanity might be affected, Maki's face suddenly changed drastically, and without even thinking about the loopholes in his words, he hurriedly took I-Airo and several Konoha ninja villages to the infirmary.

But.

After some careful inspection, Hurricane and the others were surprised to find that there was no curse mark on my Airo at all!

For a while, everyone looked at each other, a little at a loss.

But after confirming that I Airo was okay, they quickly sent me Airo back to the examination room, and after that, they returned to the place where Sarutobi was located and reported the situation.

"The curse mark is not on my Airo?"

Ape Feiri was surprised.

Could it be that his previous guess was wrong, and Orochimaru didn't put a curse mark on anyone?

Or did the person who received the seal not pass the second exam at all?

At this time, someone swallowed and said, "Could it be ...... The curse is imprinted on the body of Qianjue......"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.

Impossible, right?

Is Orochimaru blind?

On the side, Moonlight Wind also didn't believe in this possibility.

According to the Hokage-sama's analysis during the meeting, what Orochimaru needs is a body with a blood inheritance limit, although Chiju's strength is no worse than Sasuke's, he is just an ordinary person and does not have any blood inheritance limit.

Therefore, it is highly likely that the truth is that Orochimaru did not release the curse mark on anyone at all, or that the person who obtained the curse mark did not pass the middle ninja exam at all.

"Hoo ......"

Thinking of this, Moonlight Blast breathed a sigh of relief.

However, his expression did not become relaxed at all, because even if I Airo did not have the curse mark, he was still the most powerful candidate in this examination room, and even ...... Probably better than some of the proctors present!

He looked at the stands opposite, his face solemn.

He knows the strength of Qianjue very well, but he is only a little stronger than Sasuke, and the victory rate is still worrying against Iara.

And as a teacher of Qianjue, all he can do now is to give Qianjue the best encouragement.

"I believe in you, Qianjue!"

"Ahem...... Fight with all your might, ahem...... Let everyone see what you're capable of! ”

On the side, many people were slightly sideways, it seemed that this guy Moonlight Wind was full of care about his student.

However, encouragement is encouragement, the reality is often cruel, and I love Luo, and I can only say that his previous good luck has come to an end......

Opposite the stands, Kankuro, who was traveling with my Airo, yawned directly, looked at Temari on the side, and said boredly: "The guys in Konoha are really hot-blooded...... But people, it's useless to just have a lot of blood, the gap between that little ghost and my Airo won't change, and his future is only failure. ”

"yes......"

Temari smiled slightly, but a cold sweat flowed from her forehead: "After all, no one has been able to touch my Airo so far......"

As for the Black Jedi, he heard the scream of the moonlight wind and shook his head slowly.

Give it your all?

How's that going to work?

If I kill Iro, causing the tailed beast to be reborn in an unknown place, affecting the resurrection of my mother, who will be responsible?

And on the side of the stands, Moonlight Wind couldn't help but sigh when he saw Hei Jue shaking his head.

He, a student, really has no enthusiasm at all, and he is really afraid that when he comes on stage, he will escape directly to the end of the game......
