Two o'clock in the afternoon.

In an atmosphere of tension and anticipation, the qualifiers for the third exam arrived as scheduled, and a group of spectators had gathered on the second floor one after another.

After a while, the referee Tsuchihashiyama appeared, stood in the middle of the martial arts hall on the first floor, and said: "In the first game, Shimizuno of the country of Taki, and Pinghe of the country of fire, please enter the two candidates!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a young man came from either side of the hall, who looked to be thirteen or fourteen years old.

The two stood in the middle, and Tsuchihashiyama said again: "Killing is also prohibited in the qualifiers, and if one side surrenders or loses its combat effectiveness, the game will be over." ”

"At the same time, in the event of a potentially life-threatening situation, the other two referees will intervene to stop the fight, and I will also directly announce the result of the match......"

In addition to the referee who decides the victory, there are also two other shinobi standing in the field, who seem to be quick people, and they are naturally the referees responsible for supervising the behavior of the candidates.

"The competition begins!"

After stepping back a distance, Tuqiaoshan gave an order, and the two candidates confronted each other for a moment before rushing towards each other and fighting.

On the second floor, the three of them were standing with Kime Nagaye, talking about the battle below.

"Teacher Changye, I heard that in this exam, there are ninjas from the three countries of Taki, Grass, and Yu?" Ebisu asked.

Kime Nagaye nodded: "More than forty years have just passed in the Warring States Period, and the ninja world is still unstable. The Fire Nation is the strongest, and it is inevitable that there will be some enemies in the world, and many countries will want to tear a piece of flesh off us...... Now that the situation is tense and people's minds are moving, if this war continues, it is not possible for the four major powers to fight with Konoha. ”

Akai: "Then why are these three countries willing to come?" ”

"The country of Taki is surrounded by waterfalls, and there is no dispute with the world, and any country holds a shinobi, and the country of Takino will basically participate. However, after the pre-selection, they went straight back to their home countries and did not participate in the third exam we hosted. Mume Nagaye said slowly.

"The country of grass and the country of Yuno are our close allies, the former is located in the northwest of the country of fire, and is the barrier between fire and earth, and the upper reaches of the Minamiga River and the Taishin River are also in the country of grass."

"The latter is located in the northeast of the Fire Country, and it has stifled the momentum of Yunyin's southward movement......"

After a pause, he said, "If the country of earth and the country of thunder want to start a war against us, the country of grass and the country of soup will definitely not be spared. ”

I don't know that Huo Genma nodded secretly.

If he remembered correctly, the Battle of Kannabihashi, the famous battle of the Third Shinobi War, was triggered by the invasion of the Land of Fire by the Land of Iwakure Sutra and Grass.

Out of the hospitality of the big country, the first three competitions were the three countries of Taki, Grass, and Tang appeared one after another, and the opponents were all the five players of the Fire Country, and the winners and losers were quickly separated.

At the same time as the third competition began, Shiranui Genma also went down to the second floor and came to the side of the martial arts hall to prepare.

Moment.

"In the fourth competition, the Fire Country does not know the fire Genji, and the Fire Country ape flies Asma!" Tuqiaoshan said loudly, "Please enter the two candidates!" ”

I don't know that Huo Genma got up to enter, and soon saw the oncoming ape flying Asma.

The two stood across from each other, and he greeted with a smile, "Asma." ”

Asma also smiled reluctantly, and then her expression quickly returned to her solemnity, and she clenched the Knuckle Tiger Knife in her hand.

After introducing the rules, the two supervising referees also stood behind Shiranui Genma and Asma respectively, and Tsuchihashiyama immediately stepped back a distance, waved his hand and shouted:

"The competition begins!"

"Ahh

Asma roared and rushed over, as if preparing to strike first.

"Boom!"

Ignorant Huo Xuanma drew his knife to block, and while quickly dodging the other finger tiger knife, his right hand moved diagonally downward, and the silver blade slashed directly at Asma's fingers.

Asma twisted his wrist and turned his sword on the silver blade, sending sparks flying in all directions......

Looking at the sparks splashing on the blade, I didn't know that Huo Xuanma's eyelids jumped, and he hurriedly put away his knife and dodged.

Asma didn't give up, and deceived herself again, and the two finger tiger knives were fierce and slashed one after another.

"Boom! Boom! Qiang ......"

There was a burst of blades striking, sparks jumping, and the figures of the two kept moving in the field, and the speed was quite amazing.

After a moment of fighting, I didn't know that Huo Genma finally found a chance to withdraw and retreat to the side of the martial arts hall, gasping slightly.

Not inferior to his physical fitness and physical skills, with two excellent finger tiger knives, Asma is very fierce in close combat, and he is not easy to deal with.

Of course, that's not the point.

As soon as he raised his hand, he looked at his long knife Yinfeng, and his face couldn't help but show a look of great pain.

The quality of Asma's weapon was much stronger than his own knife, and after a round of grappling just now, Silver Blade already had multiple scratches and tiny gaps.

The second generation of God-damn officials! I don't know that Huo Genma thought viciously.

Asma was obviously a little tired, and was standing more than ten meters away gasping, staring at him, not daring to relax at all.

I don't know that Huo Genma exhaled and froze.

When they were in school, whether it was a competition or an exam, the physical skills of the two were comparable, and it was difficult to distinguish between them.

In this way, it will be difficult for him to beat Asma between the blades, and if he wants to win, he must play to his strengths.

I don't know that Huo Xuanma's biggest advantages are nothing more than two, one is a lot of detonation charms that can blow up the entire tower, and the other is A-level ninjutsu spiral pills, but he definitely doesn't dare to use these two.

After all, the three generations of Hokage were watching from above, and if he accidentally killed and maimed Asma, even if he didn't mean it, the consequences would be absolutely unimaginable.

In addition, he even had some suspicions that the reason why Asma would face him was the result of the special arrangement of the three generations, in order to allow Asma to withdraw halfway and avoid the risk of the third exam.

After all, except for Shiranui Genma, there is no one in the lower ninja who took the exam, and no one can win Asma.

Therefore, it doesn't seem like a wise move to surrender in order to ensure that Asma is safe, and besides, I don't know that Izukumi Genma is not a person who surrenders casually.

To win, but not to let Asma get seriously injured......

Looking at the two supervising referees in the field, he pondered for a moment, and then formed a shadow clone and let the clone stand in the middle of the hall.

"Shadow clones?"

I don't know that Huo Xuanma's move suddenly aroused people's doubts, and the audience on the second floor couldn't help but burst into discussions.

"Actually using a shadow clone, what is he doing here?"

ps：

I often see people say that "xx ninjutsu has never killed anyone", in fact, the vast majority of ninjutsu have never killed anyone, because the Hokage has never painted a few death scenes, and even if he dies, most of them die more subtlely and elegantly, after all, juvenile hot-blooded comics can't be too bloody.
