Chapter 44: The Significance of the Zhongnin Exam

Heiji had never eaten so much in the wee hours of the morning, and even in his sleep, he could smell the aroma of pork miso soup and golden tonkatsu.

When the sky was slightly bright, Heiji heard the voice of Sunset Red standing in front of the window and calling.

"Pingji, get up, today is the qualifier for the third tryout."

Sunset Red has learned of Heiji's excellent performance in the second selection exam from multiple sources, and the blood-red eyes that looked at Heiji were full of proud smiles.

Glancing back at Hinata Hinata and Inuzuka, the smile in Sunset's red eyes disappeared, and he said softly: "Today's qualifier is different from the previous ninjutsu competition, both sides risk their lives to fight......"

Speaking of this, Sunset Hong paused and said slowly: "If the opponent is too strong, such as encountering Ai Luo from Shayin Village, don't be ......strong."

My Airo's strength has always been rumored to be close to the strength of the shadow level.

For a long time, this was just a legend for the ninjas of the major ninja villages.

However, in the second selection exam, I Airo really showed his strong strength to crush everything.

None of the ninja groups who encountered Hiro in the Forest of Death survived!

Moreover, there was not even the slightest slight injury on my body, not even the slightest wrinkle in the hem of my clothes and trousers.

How did I Airo do it, and how sharp his attack and defense methods were, all the ninjas from the major ninja villages who came to watch the game opened their eyes wide and waited and see.

The three generations of Hokage Ape Flying Sun Slash stood on the high platform, staring at everyone slowly with cold eyes, and holding a pipe that was inseparable from him in his mouth.

Behind him, stood the upper ninjas of the major ninja villages.

Otoshinobi Village, Sand Hidden Village, Kusakuin Village, Takigakure Village......

Heiji looked at them in turn, and finally stopped his eyes on the long-haired, pale face of the shinobi in Otoshinobi Village.

Orochimaru...... This S-level rebel ninja of Konoha Village, the proud disciple of the three generations of Hokage, stood behind his mentor in another identity in this way.

The corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and a strange smile appeared on his face, what the hell was Orochimaru thinking in his heart at the moment, I am afraid it was so complicated that he couldn't even say clearly.

Next to Orochimaru, there stood the Kamishinobi Maki of the Sand Hidden Village, who looked at the people in the audience expressionlessly, as if he was out of the way.

As the teacher of my Airo, Temari and Kankuro, Maki is somewhat embarrassed, and his presence as a teacher is completely overshadowed by the light of my Airo.

The qualifiers officially began with half an hour to go, and even Kakashi, who had always liked to be late, had already arrived, staring at the entrance with a solemn face on his face.

Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha, and Sakura Haruno are still trapped in the Forest of Death, and they haven't finished their mission yet, which makes Kakashi a little anxious.

"Heiji-kun...... Naruto-kun won't be unable to catch up, will ......"

Hinata Hinata looked at Heiji, and her heart was slightly panicked.

Although she knew that Heiji didn't know anything about it like herself, she still looked forward to hearing some reassuring words from the other party.

Sure enough, Heiji looked at him with gentle and firm eyes and said, "Hinata-chan, don't worry, they will definitely catch up......"

Actually, Pingji himself has no bottom in his heart.

After all, his appearance in the Hokage world has caused a series of variables.

For example, Shiro did not die, he was saved from the hands of death by himself, but he completely lost consciousness and was in a deep coma.

As for his appearance, no one can say whether his appearance will cause Naruto Uzumaki's seventh class to be eliminated in the second round of the middle ninja exam......

The clock ticked by, and it looked like the third qualifier was less than 10 minutes away.

The three generations of Hokage Ape Flying Sun glanced at the time, and his eyes became complicated.

Hinata Hinata is already the fourth time to ask Heiji about the situation of the seventh class, and while Heiji comforts her, he begins to panic a little in his heart.

"Haha! We're finally catching up! ”

A familiar commotion suddenly sounded, and everyone turned around to see a young man with blond hair, squinting and laughing.

Beside him, there was also a black-haired boy in a blue ninja suit and a pink-haired cardamom girl.

Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha, Sakura Haruno.

The three people of the seventh class finally caught up at the last minute!

However, the three of them looked more and more embarrassed than the other, their shirts and pants were covered in dirty mud, and multiple scars could be seen on their exposed skin.

It seems that they must have experienced a hard-fought battle in the Forest of Death, and now they have reached the end of their power.

"Ahem...... First of all, I would like to congratulate all of you...... Passed the second exam! ”

The chief examiner of the second exam, Mitarai Red Bean, looked at the audience with a solemn face, and although he said the words "congratulations" in his mouth, he couldn't see the slightest smile on his face.

"Now, let's ask Hokage-sama to explain the matters related to the third exam...... Listen carefully! ”

The third generation of Hokage Ape Flying Sun Slash nodded slightly, looked at the people who passed the exam with a solemn expression, and said slowly: "Before explaining the third exam...... There's one thing I have to make clear! That's why this exam is being held......"

The lower ninjas of the major ninja villages, who were still immersed in the joy of passing the second exam just now, were suddenly deeply infected by the solemn and solemn expression of the ape flying sun, and the atmosphere of the entire venue suddenly became solemn.

Questions about why such a Zhongnin exam was held also lingered in everyone's hearts.

"The Allied powers are holding such an exam together, and they claim to be 'deepening friendly relations with each other' and 'improving the strength of ninjas...... I hope you will not be fooled by these hypocritical diplomatic rhetoric......"

"Actually, this exam is ...... The epitome of the war between the Allies! ”

Looking at the shocked young faces in the audience, Sarutobi said slowly: "If you have studied ninja history, you should know it...... Today's allies used to be life-and-death neighbors in the ninja war......"

"Ninja ...... It has never been synonymous with peace...... In peacetime, the presence of ninjas represents the military strength of major countries, as well as the prestige ......"

"When it's time for the third exam, the daimyos and celebrities from all over the world who have entrusted us with the task will also come to watch the ......."

"The ninjas of each village fought to the death to show their strength...... Powerful villages will receive more commissions in the future, while weak villages will have a sharp reduction in the amount of tasks......"

"At the same time, it is also to show our neighbors that 'our village has a strong fighting power,' so that they can exert pressure diplomatically and politically......"
