Chapter 497: The caucuses are over

"Whew...... Fortunately, Li is fine...... But then again...... According to him, that move was originally intended to be used to defeat me...... No, judging by the power of that final blow, it wasn't so much defeat...... Didn't he really want to kill me directly in the game?! ”

During Kai's intervention, it was determined that Xiao Li was "mended" by my Ailuo, just after everyone would be mistaken, although he didn't say it, but in his heart, it was also for Xiao Li, who was still in pain not long ago, and Ning Ci, who secretly pinched a cold sweat, finally quietly put his mind at ease. Immediately, with that suspicious look in his eyes, he looked back and forth at Xiao Li and my Airo with a complicated expression. While in his mind, while carefully reviewing the various details that appeared in the battle between the two, Ning Ci, who had gradually opened his self-contained heart under the baptism of this kind of impact, began to mumble to himself.

"And that guy from Sand Hidden Village...... It's not so much luck, but from the moment you start it, you haven't been able to do your best, right? And the one named Sasuke Uchiha, who also looks a little wrong......"

"In front of the three of them...... I...... Can you really be considered a genius......

……

In the duel between Xiao Li and I-Airo, who appeared as the finale, after I Airo finally won, the list of people who can be qualified to participate in the next round of assessment will also be determined.

By the way, in this list, the names registered in this list, if they were listed one by one in no particular order, would be composed of Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha, Ara, Nara Shikamaru, Temari, Kankuro, Hinata Ninji, Akido Dingji, and Oil Girl Shino, a total of nine people.

As for the same as the third round of exams, since the total number of people is odd, if you fight one by one, there will always be a problem with one more person. is also because the intention of the final assessment is to select qualified members who are qualified to meet the title of Zhongnin, and it is not about winning or losing. And it is clear that it is to streamline the number of candidates, and if you fail, you will inevitably be eliminated, and the third round of exam topics that are not related to the title of Zhongninja can be regarded as completely different reasons. So that this extra person can also be arranged according to discretion and adaptability......

What's more, in this dark tide of the surging middle ninja exam, it is estimated that it will be unknown whether it can be carried out without danger and so that the ninth person can have the opportunity to play on the field. There is no need to rush for a while, to entangle how to place the ninth candidate in this final assessment.

At the same time as the release of this list, it also means that the three rounds of qualifier assessment, which lasted for seven days, will come to an end temporarily. Immediately, on the bright side, the three generations of Hokage, who was in charge of planning the questions for the entire Chunin exam, announced in public at the right time after the dust had settled that the fourth round of the exam, which everyone was concerned about, would not immediately start the war like the first three rounds.

After all, the real purpose of the middle ninja exam is not just to select the middle ninja candidates who meet the qualifications for promotion from among the lower ninja candidates who took the exam. What's more, but for that month, in front of the leaders of the various countries who will personally visit the Konoha Ninja Village, they will show the most exciting battle! It is used as a substitute for the stage and opportunity to show the military power of each country, or, rather, each ninja village, that is lacking in this era of peace!

In other words, the Zhongnin exam, which seems to be in full swing, has set up many levels and tests so far, at best, it is just an appetizer, and it can only be regarded as a qualifier.

Because of this, in the careful planning room of the Konoha Ninja Village, a month of preparation time was reserved in advance, and a special person was sent to inform the daimyo of various countries that the qualifiers had ended. It can also allow the candidates who have passed the exam to leave temporarily. In order to recover from the large amount of physical energy and energy consumed under the high-intensity examination in the past few days, either in a resting place arranged by the Konoha official, or in a place of his own choice. Take advantage of this precious time to analyze the defects and shortcomings that you have discovered in the course of the examination, and analyze all kinds of information obtained in the process of watching other candidates, and carry out targeted special training and preparation. No matter how bad it is, you can also visit this rich Konoha ninja village as much as you want, come and relax and relax, and the nerves that have been tense since taking the middle ninja exam. And then when the final assessment comes, keep in good condition and give full play to your best strength level!

"Well, that's all I need to tell you...... If you don't have any regrets in this Zhongnin exam, please work hard to improve your strength in the next month! ”

And through the text that has been sorted out and memorized in advance, this final round of formal assessment is arranged in an orderly manner to be carried out a month later. In the process of the Zhongnin exam, the true meaning of the arms race contained in it was repeatedly emphasized to the candidates who passed the third round of the exam. The eyes of the three generations of Hokage glanced around from the figures of the group of children in front of him. And then after quietly resting on the trio of Shayin Village led by Iro, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and he continued pointedly.

"Of course, if you are confident in your own strength and want to use this month's preparation time to completely relax and rest, or if you want to have fun and 'sightseeing' in our Konoha Ninja Village, you can also do it......"

"Now, then, disband! I'm looking forward to seeing how wonderful you will be in a month's time, kids......"

……

After the three generations of Hokage finished explaining and announced the process of the middle ninja exam, it came to an end for the time being. The candidates, who no longer had the meaning of staying in this tower, formed groups in groups of threes and twos, as the three generations of Hokage said, and chose to go back to their own homes and find their own mothers......

Of course, in this process, because Naruto used the direction of the original plot as a reference basis, he had already expected in advance that Xiao Li, who would not easily admit defeat, would definitely use the Eight Gate Dunjia Array in the process of fighting against Iara. As a result, the "wave of wind and numbness" that has existed since the second round of exams has not left halfway. And under the cover of this identity, Naruto was able to help Xiao Li, who was seriously overdrawn, recover as soon as possible in the first time.

In this process, fortunately, before this, because of the cold and hot red panda, he had already used his own way to help Xiao Li deal with it urgently. And when Xiao Li just opened the Eight Gates Dunjia, he did not attack directly in a hurry as in the original plot, but first stabilized the huge chakra scurrying around in his body and brought it under his control. During the battle, he didn't forcibly open the sixth gate, which was not suitable for his own use for the time being, to increase the burden on his body. Xiao Li's physical strength, under Naruto's early intervention and arrangement, is far better than Xiao Li in the original book...... The existence of various details makes Xiao Li look quite embarrassed and miserable in the first time of the battle faux pas, but he will not face the desperate blow of being unable to continue to be a ninja like Xiao Li in the original book! And under Naruto's secret estimation, even if he is currently with Jiraiya, Tsunade who is busy spending his honeymoon outside the village and sprinkling dog food, he can't be there in person to treat Xiao Li. But just with Naruto's own medical ninjutsu attainments, combined with the huge vitality bonus of the Uzumaki clan's innate vitality, it can also make Xiao Li's overloaded and overdrawn body recover completely without danger.

It's just that, in order to avoid Xiao Li's heart, a kind of "Bo Feng Face Ma" is derived, as long as there is a "wave wind and face hemp" with excellent medical skills, he will definitely be able to heal his injuries. As a result, this forbidden technique, which injured the enemy by 1,000 and damaged itself by 800, was treated as an ordinary amplification ninjutsu, and was used and used at will, causing Xiao Li's still developing body to leave irreversible hidden diseases, so that Naruto did not forget in this treatment process, and after obtaining Kai's consent, he pretended to exaggerate the side effects of the Eight Gate Dunjia - or rather, it was just to inform the current Xiao Li of what happened to Xiao Li in the original book. Let Xiao Li, who was terrified, be able to raise his hand in person, and make a promise that in the days to come, no matter what kind of situation he encounters, he will think twice about the consequences and will never use this forbidden technique easily!

And in this case, for Kai, who is Xiao Li's teacher and has high hopes for Xiao Li, he is naturally happy to raise his hands and feet in favor. So much so that in this process, not to mention the students who felt sorry for themselves, they seemed to have been slightly infected by Naruto's belly black attributes, and they were helping to echo each other in a serious way, and they joined forces to tease the honest and well-behaved Xiao Li in a serious manner. So that Naruto's series of actions can be said to be unhindered, and they went exceptionally smoothly......

Other than that, as mentioned earlier......

Because in the next month's preparation time, as outsiders, I Airo and his party can choose to stay and live by their own will. So that the red panda, which had long been informed by Naruto's active inform, resonated with the tailed beast, and got along with Naruto closely, naturally chose a place that was located in the territory of the Uchiha clan - that is, from the moment Mikoto and Fugaku knew that Naruto was the orphan of the Mizumon couple, and Naruto, who had lived with Sasuke until now, was now living in a relatively close hotel, which was used as a temporary foothold for the next month.

Of course, after I Airo announced this decision in public. The expressions on the faces of the friends present were quite exciting......

Not to mention it for the time being, he already felt that he was favored by Naruto, and he was deeply threatened by this red panda of the same age that suddenly appeared, and he protested again and again. and the stark contrast between Hinata, who is innocent of his mind and doesn't realize that at some point, he also needs to treat a boy of the same sex as Naruto as his rival, and he is constantly on guard and on guard, so that he has no objection......

Among the other friends, the matter of not saying hello to my Airo, and deciding on his own initiative, is the most unacceptable, I'm afraid it's the red panda who is a blood relative, but in the process of getting along, because of Naruto's appearance, the red panda that is always around Naruto, to Kankuro and Temari, who are ignored intentionally or unintentionally, are the poor sisters and brothers who have a sense of existence that is becoming more and more remote.

It's a pity, right

In this abrupt decision, Kankuro and Temari, who are members of the same team, looked at each other, as if they were completely disrupted by this move of Airo, and they seemed quite resistant and dissatisfied with this......

But in the final analysis, because at the moment, as the pillar force of the people of Sand Hidden Village, the strength obviously crushes Kankuro and Temari, and even I Airo, who is far superior to ordinary Shinobi, is the real leader of this team. The decision made by my Airo can be said to be as if he did whatever he wanted, and he didn't have to care what Kankuro and Temari thought in their hearts. Second, when I Airo announced it, I clearly told Temari and Kankuro that if Kankuro and Temari really didn't want to, they could find another place to live, and I'll go to the territory of the Uchiha clan alone to live and spend the next month. So much so that after silently calculating the gains and losses, Temari and Kankuro, who originally had other plans, could only obediently obey my Airo's arrangement.

After all, while the latter gives a solution, it looks quite democratic. It can also make the companion like a tiger, Kankuro and Temari, who are quite jealous and afraid of my Airo, can spend this month comfortably away from my Airo...... But then again, the location where the two of them are now is the Konoha Ninja Village. And in this unfamiliar place, if you lose the protection and companionship of my Airo, I am afraid that it will be even more insecure for the two people who have not had a good impression of Konoha Ninja Village from the beginning! So much so that after comparing the gains and losses with each other, it was only natural to honestly follow the arrangement of my Airo and stay in the territory of the Uchiha clan.

It's just that at the same time......

He has always been wary of outsiders because of the potential crisis that has always been coveted by the Sharingan, and even the local residents of Konoha Village have a rare opportunity to step into the Uchiha clan inside the territory. Why did he risk the leakage of the secret of the writing wheel and the safety of the lives of the people who had already opened the writing wheel eye, and the risk of being spied by the enemy among the candidates, waiting for the opportunity to gouge out the eyes and snatch it, so he easily agreed to provide houses in the core area of the territory for the candidates from other villages who had never met in advance during the Zhongnin exam......

But it's a little bit intriguing......
