At the bottom of the central tower, on the high platform under the relief of the dragon's head, the third generation of Hokage Yuan Feiri stood with his hands slashed. In the next row, the instructors of each team stand across, and below them are the examiners arranged in a figure of eight. The three groups are arranged in a 3×3 square. Surrounded by the safe and sound but slightly embarrassed Konoha Xiaoqiang, onlookers with envy in their eyes.

The chief examiner, Mitarai Red Bean, put his hands in the pockets of his trench coat, and a voice expanded through the headset came out: "First of all, congratulations to the qualified shinobi who passed the second exam..."

But I thought proudly: I did say that I would brush off more than half of the people, but in fact, I only want to leave single digits. Well, this result barely met my expectations.

Qiu Dao Ding touched his belly and said weakly: "I'm so hungry." ”

During the five-day survival exercise, he quickly ran out of snacks, and then he didn't eat well or sleep well, and he was a little haggard.

Yamanaka Ino gloated: "Even the genius Hinata Ningji was defeated, and it is understandable that we were defeated." When I think about it, I feel much more comfortable. ”

She still has a lot of complaints about Hinata Ningji, who despises their strength and ignores her charm.

"Hey, don't talk nonsense," Nara Shikamaru looked at the lost Tian Tian and whispered, "I heard Asma say that the third class seems to have met Orochimaru, and Rock Lee is in a bad situation. But Hinata Ningji is still alive. What if he preaches this in his ears if he is angry with us? ”

Yamanaka Ino immediately fell silent.

Hinata Hinata played with her fingers and looked at Naruto Naruto Wave stupidly: He also passed the test, which is great.

Inuzuka gritted his teeth, because he was defeated, he held back his belly, but he didn't know who to shoot.

The oil girl Shino could see it and comforted: "Tooth, don't care. We also have many opportunities to take the Chunin exam. We've been very lucky for that. ”

"Next, Hokage-sama is going to explain the third exam to everyone, I hope you will listen attentively," Mitarai Azuki turned around and looked up at Yuan Fei Ri and said, "Then Hokage-sama, I'm sorry for you." ”

"Ahem," Yuan Feiri, who was holding a pipe, cleared his throat and took two steps forward to say, "Before explaining the third middle ninja exam, I want to say sorry to the lower ninjas who failed to be selected. ”

Naruto Bofeng silently complained: The leader's apology is just a matter of listening, and it can't be taken seriously. There is no shirking responsibility, and it is rare to be able to pull down your face and apologize.

"Because of our negligence in our work, we caused the S-class renegade Orochimaru to get involved, which had a bad impact on the middle ninja exam. It is known that Orochimaru snatched two Earth Book scrolls from the third class, and it is unknown how many. Therefore, even if the other shinobi defeat their opponents, they will probably not be able to gather the Heaven and Earth Scroll. ”

Inuzuka was dissatisfied: "What's more, I don't know how many shinobi Orochimaru has killed." The three of us are all sentient ninjas, but we haven't touched a living person in the past five days, so how can we collect scrolls? ”

As for perceiving that I love them, but they flee far away before they meet, they are ignored by the teeth.

In the plot, the eighth class is lucky, and on the first day of entering the Forest of Death, it is equivalent to picking up a scroll for nothing and getting it together, and arriving at the central tower unscathed. The eighth class was not so lucky this time, and only saw the corpse that Orochimaru did not dispose of, so he said that he did not encounter a living person.

Naruto Bofeng secretly rejoiced: Thank you Uncle Snake for pulling a hand of hatred, nothing has anything to do with me.

Yuan Feiri continued after swallowing the clouds and spitting out the mist: "If there is no accident factor such as the Great Snake Pill, there will probably be more qualified lower ninjas. Although it is unfair to the people who lost the election, I do not intend to change the result. ”

"Because of the fact that life accidents have caused the established facts, you must not accept them. Survival drills are just simulated training in a relatively level playing field, and there is no shortage of examples of unintentional entry in real missions that lead to mission failure. ”

In fact, this is already Yuan Feiri's explanation to the unsuccessful ninjas. Otherwise, the unsuccessful shinobi should go back separately instead of having the opportunity to stay here and observe.

What follows is the cliché, Yuan Feiri slashed the origin, purpose and significance of the Zhongnin exam in the past, I don't know how many times he said it.

Originally, Naruto was habitually drowsy when he heard the leader's gushing speech, but in front of everyone's eyes, he had to force himself to cheer up and make a serious appearance.

Yuan Feiri's long-winded words briefly summarized that the purpose of holding the Sino-ninja selection examination among the allies was: 1. To enhance friendly relations between them. The convention of killing to achieve a balance of power between each other is the so-called friendship in the ninja world. 2. Improve the strength of the ninja, show the prestige of the country and the strength of the ninja village, and exert pressure on the outside world. 3. Behave well in front of special guests and attract the task of celebrities (celebrities in this world refer to wealthy people with high status such as daimyos, nobles, wealthy merchants, and ninja village leaders).

At the end of Yuan Feiri, he also emphasized that the Zhongren examination is a goal worthy of cherishing dreams and risking his life.

Naruto's understanding is: friendship first, competition second, whoever believes is stupid.

Due to the small number of qualified people left, there is no rule for the temporary increase in the preliminaries of the Zhongnin exam.

"You're going to have the third official selection tournament in front of everyone, and you represent the strength of your respective countries, so hopefully you'll be able to give your best then. Therefore, the official selection will take place in a month's time. ”

"This month is time to prepare. This is to free up time to inform the daimyo and ninja leaders of various countries that the pre-selection is over and they can come and watch the official selection. At the same time, it also gives you candidates some preparation time for self-improvement. ”

Naruto Naruto raised his hand and spoke, "However, it's a bit unfair to fight without knowing the abilities and information of other people. ”

Of course, he knew the information, but he was curious about how Yuan Fei would explain the issue of fairness and justice after the situation changed.

"Real battles are never absolutely fair and just. The disparity in strength and the asymmetry in intelligence both exist objectively. It may be that both sides know each other's intelligence, they may not know it, and it may be that only one of them knows. But this does not change the fact that there is going to be a fight. And in the face of unknown situations, it can test the true level of ninjas. ”

Naruto Naruto: Well, whatever you say, it makes sense.

"So, the third middle ninja exam is a one-on-one battle, and the battle list is also unknown. It will not be randomized until the same day. More than one person will arrange for the middle ninja examiner to be the opponent. But don't worry, it's the performance of the ninja that determines the qualification of the shinobi, not the victory or defeat. ”

"That being said, I'm going to ask, as is customary, is there anyone who wants to quit?"

Sakura Haruno frowned, slowly raised her hand, and said with difficulty; "Hokage-sama, I... I'm leaving. ”

Yuan Fei didn't ask for a reason, nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Naruto Uzumaki was incredulous: "Sakura-chan, why? "There was no such thing in a previous life.

Sakura Haruno smiled bitterly: "Although I am very unwilling, I must admit that as a ninja I am not mature enough, and I have too many shortcomings." A month isn't enough for me to catch up with you. ”

As a local resident of Konoha Village, Sakura Haruno used to visit the Shinobi exam twice a year. She understands the performance and strength level of Shinobi in this grand event. In comparison, it's a shame to play by yourself who doesn't know anything. If it weren't for her partner's feelings, she didn't have the confidence to take the shinobi exam at first. Now, that's it. What made her retreat was also because of Naruto Naruto's reminder.

Naruto Uzumaki felt unworthy for Sakura Haruno: "But... But..."

Naruto Hakaze answered, "But for Brother Sakura, giving up halfway at the risk of being looked down upon is a rational choice. Isn't it courage to admit defeat? You should respect her choice and not impose your will on others. ”

Naruto Naruto suspected that in the plot, AB didn't want the heroine Sakura Haruno to lose too ugly, so he dramatically arranged for Sakura Haruno and his rival and Himeyou, Ino Yamanaka, to have a rookie pecking each other and a close fight, and then exited with dignity.

There is no such good thing right now.

In public, he was called Brother Sakura, and Sakura Haruno couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into.

Naruto Uzumaki didn't care about the title "Brother Sakura", but he was a little stunned: It's really not me, it's very different. If it were me, I wouldn't say such a discouragement.

If Naruto knew what Naruto Uzumaki was thinking, he would probably refute: Could it be that seeing Hinata Hinata being beaten by Hinata Ningji to vomit blood, and still cheering on the side to let Hinata Hinata fight desperately, what is a commendable choice?

"Anyone else wants to quit? Since it's gone," Yuan Feiri said with a heartfelt anger when he saw that no one responded, "Then in a month, I wish you all good luck." ”
