Chapter 118: The Official Selection Begins!

The 60th year of Konoha and the 6th of August are a very special day for Konoha Ninja Village, the core area of the Fire Country.

On this day, the gate at the entrance of the village was already crowded with traffic, and countless carriages, sedan chairs, travelers and other figures continued to pour towards the interior of the village, even making the originally spacious road seem a little crowded.

These people included tourists who had heard the news, giants with a lot of money, daimyo who guarded a castle, regional leaders who had issued commissioned tasks, and so on, and almost all kinds of characters walked towards the same place, towards the venue where a grand event was about to take place.

Yes, this day is the day when the official selection for the middle ninja exam has been watched by Konoha Village and the entire Fire Country and many surrounding countries, so before the competition officially started, the audience was almost full.

Is it finally about to start? I hope there won't be any such thing.

When he saw more and more people entering the venue, the third Hokage, sitting in the main stand, Sarutobi Hizashi seemed to want to sigh deeply, but he immediately stopped this frustration, because as a leader, he must always show his best to others.

"Ah, there, it's Naruto."

At this moment, Sakura, who was sitting in the audience, couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise when she saw Naruto slowly walking into the arena below.

Frankly, it was a scene she never thought would happen to Sakura, and only Naruto had passed the preliminaries out of the three people in their seventh class who took the shinobi exam, while Sakura and Sasuke had to sit in the stands.

Damn it...... When will I kill that man if this continues. Unlike Sakura, who was a little excited, Sasuke muttered about the declaration of the middle two that had almost become his personal symbol, while staring at the figure standing in the middle of the room chatting with Naruto.

In fact, it wasn't just Sasuke, when the figure stood in the middle of the field, almost most of the eyes were on him.

For the vast majority of people in and around the Land of Fire, they may not know what the organizational structure of Konoha Village is, nor do they know which shinobi are superior, but there are two names they definitely know, and that is "Uchiha" and "Hinata".

Although it was a pity that the orphan of the Uchiha did not participate in this exam, it was also interesting to see the early appearance of the future head of the Hyuga clan, so most eyes were focused on Goyuki.

"Wow, it feels like a lot of people are looking this way."

After feeling the gaze from the audience, Naruto standing beside Goyuki couldn't help but tremble, it was the first time he was stared at by so many eyes, and he seemed to be a little unable to let go.

"Leave them alone, you're a personal disciple of Lord Jiraiya, what is this little scene, and I've been training with you for several days, so I'm a little confident."

Unlike Naruto, although Goyuki was also watched by thousands of eyes, he was always calm and at ease, quite a bit of the boldness of Ren'er's east, west, north and south.

Oh no, that guy looks so good. But just when he saw that Yuxing was moving lightly and in excellent condition at this time, the three people not far away, Thoth, Red Bronze Armor and Temari gritted their teeth at the same time.

In this mid-ninja exam, there are two absolute ghost cards who draw who is unlucky, one is I Ailuo of Sand Hidden Village, he personally abolished Rock Lee in the preliminaries, and the other one, naturally, was the royal line that easily killed the opponent in the state of a bandage man at that time.

Thankfully, these two ghost cards will kill each other in the first round, otherwise it would have been a hellish difficulty for the other candidates.

"Hey, you can start to quiet down, and then put your faces in front of the audience, let them remember what you look like, and let them cheer for your heroics."

At this moment, the chief examiner in charge of the official selection, who always had a thousand books in his mouth, slowly turned his head to look at the nine shinobi who were taking the exam, and showed an expectant look.

Seeing that this much-anticipated selection exam was about to kick off, on the top of the stands, a middle-aged man wearing a solemn kimono and sitting next to two guards showed a different state from the others.

His expression was a little stiff and serious, not at all like he had come to enjoy the memorial service, but rather to give someone a funeral.

"Hizoe-sama? You don't seem to be feeling well, what's wrong? ”

After discovering that the head of the family was not acting right, the clan member who was the guard next to him immediately asked with concern.

"Ahem, it's okay, it's just a little nervous, it's a big ...... After all, it's the first time Yuxing has appeared on such a big stage. ”

"I see, it turns out that the head of the family will also be nervous, it's really rare."

After listening to the middle-aged man's words, the guard couldn't help but nod his head, and didn't think about anything else, after all, there was nothing to think about, was there.

"The contestants in the first round are Naruto Uzumaki and Bronze Armor, and the two of you will stay here while the rest of the people go to the lounge outside the venue."

Seeing that the time was almost up, the referee did not know that Genma also began to rush after announcing the details of the game, telling the other seven contestants to leave the arena quickly.

On the other side of the VIP stand, the three generations of Hokage were sitting happily with their disciples, but just as Goyuki was leaving, a slender pupil like a snake swept towards him.

Although it's a pity that Sasuke can't play, this kid ...... Suddenly, the philistines of the Hyuga clan have finally come up with a genius after so many years, and it can be regarded as the smoke of the ancestors.

When he thought of the Hyuga clan, a trace of murder suddenly appeared in Orochimaru's eyes, as if that group of people had done something that made him unpleasant.

Although that group of guys is known as one of the two major families of Konoha, in Orochimaru's opinion, they are not even bullshit, after all, as long as there is no shadow-level powerhouse sitting in the clinic, everything is nothing, and no matter how many people there are, they are just a rabble.

Also, Mr. Ape Fei, the number of dark parts arranged around is too small, isn't this equivalent to inviting others to do things?

Just as the match between Naruto Uzumaki and Bronze Armor was about to begin, a smile appeared on the corner of Orochimaru's mouth......

"Oh oh! Here we go! ”

"Although it's two small characters, and one of them looks very silly."

"Although it looks very stupid, but I'm also a master who has gone through so many heavy exams, so I shouldn't lose too ugly, come on!"

Why...... Seems like a lot of not-so-friendly remarks are floating down from the audience? Just as the match was about to start, a cold sweat broke out on Naruto's face as he realized that he seemed to be being underestimated severely.

"Hmph, as my first opponent, I can't even warm up."

Seeing Naruto's speechless expression, his opponent, the Shinobi Bronze Armor, also from Konoha, let out a cold snort of disdain.

Due to the bye in the preliminaries of the Zhongnin exam, the red bronze armor has not yet had a serious battle of eight hundred, so his heart is in a state of extreme eagerness.

"First round match! Begin! ”

With the shouts of the audience and the order of Shiranui Xuanma, this Chinese ninja selection competition, which is destined to go down in history, has finally officially kicked off!

"I'm hungry for my palms!"

At the beginning of the game, the red bronze armor immediately began to seal, and a specific chakra appeared in the palm of his right hand!

The special ability that the armor has is the chakra absorption technique, and he can squeeze the opponent dry as long as he puts his palm on the opponent, hehe, what a great technique.

Seeing the moment the red bronze armor began to move, Orochimaru couldn't help but start explaining, in terms of his level of dedication, Konoha owed him a considerable amount of commentary fees in addition to a Hokage throne, so this three shinobi was so angry that he wanted to kill the master to vent his anger.

"Your specialty is the Shadow Clone Technique, but I'm not going to give you a chance! ”

After using Chakra absorption, the Copper Armor immediately rushed in front of Naruto at the fastest speed! Press your palm towards his head!

But while the hand was still flying in mid-air, a tightly clenched fist slammed into the middle of the palm!
