Chapter 22: Is It Really Just a Coincidence?
Just as Hinata Toshihiko and Orochimaru guessed, it was Jiraiya who lost in the end.
He was carried out of the ring by paramedics, and even when he was on the stretcher, he was still muttering that he was not the tail of the crane.
This scene undoubtedly moved many people.
It's Toshihiko Hinata, and after seeing Jiraiya leave, he directly shifted his gaze to Shimurano.
"I hope you can successfully hold the ring, and I'm looking forward to fighting you in the second round."
Regardless of the opinions of others, Hinata Toshihiko issued a war letter directly to Shimurano.
You must know that Hinata Toshihiko has already regarded Jiraiya as his friend, and now that his good friend has been seriously injured, he will find a place for him in everything.
As for whether he will be criticized for saying this, hehe, I don't care.
And Shimurano showed a wry smile after hearing Hinata Toshihiko's words.
It can only be said that he underestimated Jiraiya's combat effectiveness.
Although he was the final winner, his own state was not very good, and he was too good to resist beating.
Now that I've finally won, I've even received a challenge from Toshihiko Hinata.
As for whether he can defend this ring, Shimurano is not worried at all, because he has the support of the Shimura clan behind him.
Now we need to think about what to do if we really meet Toshihiko Hinata in the next game.
Maybe there is Orochimaru, who glanced at him with his spare eyes and was silent, but his eyes kept looking at his Orochimaru, and Shimurano felt so tired inexplicably.
And this battle is really nothing to the big guys in the audience, I really can't see any excitement, and even they are a little sleepy when they watch, compared to the battle between Uchiha Qing and Hinata Toshihiko, there is no bright spot.
However, when everyone did not pay attention to this battle, only one person watched it with relish.
That is the ape flying sun slash that represents the ape flying family.
His focus is not on Shimurano, but on Jiraiya.
In particular, Jiraiya's indomitable fighting spirit really impressed him.
may seem to others that this approach is stupid, obviously unable to beat, but he has to go up again and again, and in the end not only failed, but also fell all over his body.
In the view of Ape Fei Ri Slash, it is often this spirit of not being afraid of failure that is the most valuable.
And the stand-in technique used by Jiraiya in the battle just now was very spiritual, at least it shows that he is not fighting brainlessly, and he will be defeated by the gap in strength.
But in any case, Jilai did attract the attention of Ape Fei Ri Slash.
········
Soon, as time passed, the two-hour ring battle came to an end.
In the end, the top six people were Toshihiko Hinata, Orochimaru, Tsunade, Shimurano, Tanaka, and Ichiro Inuzuka.
As can be seen from the list, the gap between the civilian ninja and the family ninja, except for Orochimaru, the other five people are all from the family.
The most important thing is that except for Hinata Toshihiko, Orochimaru and Tsunade, the other three people can defend the ring more or less have the influence of their families.
After all, there is not only one person in a family who comes to school, and for two hours, you can find a place to kill time, which can easily keep the ring.
"Next is one-on-one actual combat training, and the defeated ones are directly eliminated." Looking at the six people in front of him, Murakami Naoki said, "Is there a problem?" ”
"Nope."
"Okay, let's start the draw now, there are three sets of numbers in this box, two ones, two twos, two threes, and the person who draws the same number will be the opponent in the first round."
Naoki Murakami pointed to the box in front of him and said loudly.
As Naoki Murakami's words fell, the six of them took out the numbers from the box one after another.
At this time, the other eliminated students all cast their eyes on, after all, the next battle was the most intense.
Toshihiko Hinata looked at the number in his hand, which was marked with the number 'one', and then held it high.
Seeing this, the others also raised the numbers in their hands.
In the first round of battles, Toshihiko Hinata vs. Shimurano, Orochimaru vs. Ichiro Inuzuka, and Tsunade vs. Tanaka.
To be honest, after the battle table came out, Toshihiko Hinata really doubted that this draw had been tampered with.
Among the six, the three strongest are undoubtedly Toshihiko Hinata, Orochimaru and Tsunade.
But in the first round of fighting, the three of them staggered perfectly, which is a bit intriguing.
However, Hinata Toshihiko has no opinion at all about this situation.
"It seems that this is the arrangement of fate, let the two of us meet in the first round."
Raising the number in his hand, Hinata Toshihiko stared at Shimurano and chuckled.
"When the time comes, I hope Hinata-san will show mercy." Shimurano said helplessly.
Even Uchiha Ao, who has learned the art of Hodo's fireball, is no match for Toshihiko Hinata, and Shimurano is not really stupid enough to think that he can defeat Toshihiko Hinata.
"It's a pity, my opponent in the first round was not Toshihiko Hinata."
Tsunade on the side glanced at the number in his hand and said with a little regret.
"Don't worry, there will be a war, don't release water when the time comes." Hinata Toshihiko said with a chuckle.
"Cut, if the water doesn't exist, I'll beat you all over the ground looking for teeth when the time comes." Tsunade raised his little fist and said with a proud face.
"Suzu ~~!"
After the lottery ended, there was not much time left for everyone to catch up, and the ringing of the bell heralded the official start of the second round of actual combat assessment.
Soon, everyone's eyes converged on the two young figures in the field.
These two are Toshihiko Hinata and Shimurano, who both drew the number 'one'.
"Hinata-san, please advise." Standing on the stage, Shimurano said with a serious expression.
"If I were you, I would choose to surrender directly, so as not to be carried down when the time comes." Hinata Toshihiko said expressionlessly.
After the words fell, Shimurano's brows furrowed slightly, he couldn't have imagined that Hinata Toshihiko would be so arrogant, especially the indifference in his eyes, which made his teeth itch even more.
"Toshihiko Hinata, don't think that if you defeat Uchiha Aoi, you think how great you are, it's not certain who wins and who loses." At this moment, for the sake of face, Shimurano still said stubbornly.
After all, it's just a five-year-old kid, and after being taunted by Hinata Toshihiko like this, his anger is overflowing.
Hinata Toshihiko didn't speak, and stretched out his palm: "Come on." ”
