Chapter 69: Incomprehension from the Daimyo
"Do you think Toshihiko can pass the Shinobi assessment?"
In the stands, Jiraiya looked at Toshihiko Hinata in the field with a little worry.
The change in the rules of the last assessment can be said to have shaken the entire Konoha Village.
Therefore, for this assessment, Qianshou simply chose to be open, as long as the venue is enough, anyone can come to watch.
And after the news spread, not to mention the villagers, many students of the ninja school skipped class to come to see the assessment.
Orochimaru, Tsunade, and Jirai are among the students who skip class.
To be honest, while Jiraiya was worried about Hinata's assessment, he was also envious.
He also fantasized about whether so many people would come to watch when he participated in the Zhongnin assessment.
"There shouldn't be any problems." Listening to Jiraiya's words, Orochimaru said seriously.
With his understanding of Toshihiko Hinata, he knows very well that Toshihiko is calmer than anyone else, and he is definitely not a person who is easily impulsive and swayed by his brain.
As a disciple of Hokage-sama, Orochimaru guessed that Hinata Toshihiko might have already known the rules of the assessment.
Since he knew the assessment rules, Toshihiko participated without hesitation, and it was obvious that he had absolute confidence in himself.
So in Orochimaru's opinion, there is no doubt that he will pass this assessment.
"I also believe that Toshihiko can get the final victory." At this time, Tsunade also said firmly.
Not because of anything else, just for his own savings, Tsunade must also fully support Hinata Toshihiko.
In two days, Tsunade scraped together another 100,000 taels to Toshihiko Hinata.
She knows very well that this money Hinata Toshihiko will not choose to press others, it must be pressed on herself.
This means that only if Hinata Toshihiko passes the assessment can she benefit.
"You've all said that, then I won't worry, Toshihiko, come on."
As Orochimaru and Tsunade's words fell, Jiraiya clenched his fists and shouted loudly for Hinata Toshihiko.
However, Jiraiya's voice alone was really a little small, and it was directly covered by the powerful cheers of the scene.
"Quiet~!"
And just as the cheers at the scene were covering one layer after another, the examiner spoke.
The scene was suddenly silent.
Faced with such a scene, the examiner nodded slightly, and then shifted his gaze to the six groups of candidates in front of him.
"I believe I don't need to go into detail about the rules of the third assessment, the six around me are all ninjas with the strength of the elite ninja, and the next step will be to decide the opponent you want to fight through the situation of drawing lots."
The examiner pointed to the six elite shinobi around him and said with a serious expression.
As the chief examiner's voice fell, everyone in the audience guessed which group of candidates would draw which examiner.
And for all this, Hinata Toshihiko didn't bother to think about it, because three of the six middle ninja examiners were Konoha ninjas, and the other three were elite middle ninjas from other countries.
On the candidate's side, there are exactly three groups of Konoha ninjas, and the other three groups are three groups of candidates from different countries.
Obviously, Konoha Nakashinobi is in charge of the three groups of candidates from other countries, while Toshihiko Hinata is facing Nakashinobi from other countries.
It's about drawing lots, but it's actually just going through the motions.
"Each group sends a representative to come and draw lots."
Seeing that the time was almost up, the examiner shouted again.
For a while, except for Toshihiko Hinata and Sakumo Hagiki, the expressions of many candidates were inexplicably tight.
Although it is said that it is the six elite middle ninjas, there is also a strength gap between the middle ninjas, although it may not be very large, but everyone hopes that they can draw the relatively weak one.
After all, this is the last assessment, and it is not easy to kill out of so many candidates.
And this last game will determine the final fate, after all, promotion is the whole team, and elimination is also the whole team, which really tests a person's psychological quality.
Unlike the other groups, Toshihiko Hinata was alone, and he walked in front of the examiner very calmly and put his hand into the wooden box placed in front of him.
"I really didn't expect Konoha Hokage to be so bold and let his disciple face an elite shinobi alone, but I heard that everyone bet that he couldn't pass the assessment."
The daimyo of the country of grass looked at the figure of Toshihiko Hinata and said to the daimyo of the country of fire beside him with a smile on his face.
After hearing this, the Daimyo of the Fire Country frowned slightly, and then glanced at the Thousand Hands not far away, and after seeing him nodding, he said very directly:
"What are you afraid of, nothing else, I have the money, I don't close the handicap before the assessment starts, just come if you want to make up the bet. Even if he can't pass the assessment, I will pay for it. ”
Don't look at him now, he is very calm, but he is actually panicked in his heart.
Although the odds of Toshihiko Hinata not passing the assessment are only 0.5, there are many people who are pressed.
If it weren't for the fact that Senju had personally talked to him before, the Daimyo of the Fire Nation would have even wanted to adjust the odds of not passing to 0.1.
Now his only hope is that Senju didn't lie to him, and Hinata Toshihiko's strength is really as strong as he said.
In this way, he can not only make a lot of money, but even increase his face in front of other big names.
"Courageous."
As the words of the Daimyo of the Fire Nation fell, the daimyo of other countries praised it one after another.
But their hearts are more confused.
Where did the confidence come from that made the daimyo of the Fire Country dare to say such things, is it true that Hinata Toshihiko is so strong that he can fight alone in the elite Shinobi at the age of only six and pass the assessment?
It seems that this assessment is really to be watched carefully.
At this moment, many daimyo thought of it.
Although their country cannot be compared with the Fire Country, but now they are the allies of the Fire Country after all, and the most important thing is that this time the battle with Yunyin Village ended in a complete victory for Konoha .
If the victor of this war was Yunyin Village, the daimyo of these countries would not necessarily be sitting here.
So for the new generation of Konoha, they are also very concerned.
Is Konoha really the cradle of genius as the legend says?
If that's the case, it may be time for these daimyos to seriously consider their attitude towards the Fire Nation and their future position.
"Everyone~!"
After the draw ended, the thousands of hands in the audience also stood up.
"For this year's Zhongnin Assessment, I was fortunate to invite the daimyo from various countries to watch. Of course, there are all of you here, and now I officially announce that the third assessment has officially begun~! ”
"Huh~!"
After the words of the thousand hands fell, the scene directly erupted into fierce cheers.
