Chapter Twenty-Seven: On the Eve of the Collapse of Konoha

The Konoha at sunset is very charming.

Especially standing in the Hokage Rock to watch this scene, it makes people feel a lot of emotion.

"What a prosperity, this village!"

Dressed in a gray vest, a man dressed as a shinobi appeared on the Hokage Rock, and from his vantage point, the entire Konoha could be seen.

"The product of the balance of the great powers, it only takes a gust of wind to destroy this false prosperity!"

Squatting above the Hokage Rock, Yakushi Dou habitually held the frame on the bridge of his nose, and there was still a false smile on the corner of his mouth.

"It's still the same sharp, Dou!"

In the setting sun, the man dressed in Yin Yin spoke, his voice was a little hoarse but not charming, but it added a strange charm to him, accompanied by the breeze blowing his long hair, which made his whole body full of strange beauty.

"It's just the truth, Orochimaru-sama!"

It was rare to accompany this man to enjoy the scene of Konoha, and Yakushidou's tone couldn't help but have a little more ups and downs.

"You came from Shayin, how are you prepared there?"

Understanding the purpose of the man beside him, Orochimaru stood on the Hokage Rock and looked at the small figure as small as an ant below him, and asked lightly.

"It's all set, all that's left is for you to push this gust of wind, Orochimaru-sama!"

Dou who stood up took a few steps and appeared behind Orochimaru, looking at the prosperous Konoha below, his tone was full of emotion.

"That's good, it's time for this old man to retire, even though he is already a lot old, he still relies on the Hokage's position and doesn't leave, but it's very hard!"

With his hands clasped together, Orochimaru looked at the village that had changed, and there was a hint of sadness in his tone.

……

In the old-fashioned courtyard under the sunset, Ning Ci sat quietly on the wooden floor of the corridor, raising his head to look at the scene of sunset and dusk, and his eyes showed a little more strange.

"It's going to start tomorrow?"

As if realizing something, the corners of Ning Ci's mouth were provoked to reveal a hint of indifference.

"Just let me see, Naruto Uzumaki, can fate be broken?"

With the sound of muttering to himself, Ning Ci's right hand inevitably clenched.

Tomorrow is not only the official start of the selection of the middle ninja, but also the day when the Orochimaru's collapse plan begins, and for Ning Ci, it is the first step to break his fate.

There is still one last day before the selection of the middle ninja.

In the unknown hilly area outside Konoha Village, Kakashi is accompanying Sasuke for his final training.

"Chidori!"

Zizi's electric light flickered from his hand, and the magatama in Sasuke's eyes turned into three, and the thrust that accelerated in an instant shattered the rock in front of him.

"That's enough, Sasuke!"

Looking at Sasuke, who was using Chidori's breathing and becoming rapid again, Kakashi raised his head and looked at the sky that was about to darken and spoke.

"I think I'll hold on a little longer!"

Wiping the stains from the corners of his mouth, Sasuke staggered a few steps, still stubbornly looking at Kakashi.

"No, it has nothing to do with your wishes, unless you want to miss the shinobi exam!"

Cocking his finger to reject Sasuke's insistence, Kakashi's tone was filled with something else.

"Have you forgotten that the Zhongnin exam will start tomorrow, and we are a little far away from the village, if you don't rest early, I'm afraid it will be too late."

Looking at Sasuke, who had lost his sense of time in his practice, Kakashi shook his head helplessly and could only explain.

Hearing this, a trace of expectation flashed in Sasuke's eyes, and he no longer insisted, just handed over the weight of his whole body to the earth, and Sasuke, who was lying on the ground, looked at the waning moon that was already visible in the night sky, and the corners of his mouth moved or said.

"How far is the gap between me and him, Kakashi?"

"If it's you who is in control of Chidori now, you only have a fifty percent chance of winning against him!"

Although Kakashi didn't want to hit his disciple's motivation, he hesitated for a moment and gave his own judgment.

"Fifty percent, that's enough!"

Hearing this, Sasuke subconsciously clenched his hands.

"Don't be careless, Sasuke, although you copied my physical technique of copying Xiao Li, you have to understand that in terms of speed, Ningji will be faster!"

Looking at Sasuke, who was compared to Hinata Ninji, Kakashi glanced at it worriedly, but still chose to strike.

"I understand, Kakashi, that's all I want, to have the ability to stand in front of that guy!"

Lying flat on the ground, feeling the pleasant cool breeze blowing on his cheeks, Sasuke didn't refute, just said his thoughts lightly.

As an avenger, he is tired of his powerlessness, and now having the strength to stand with that guy to confirm himself is enough for Sasuke now.

Nothing was said all night.

Early in the morning, the streets of Konoha are already crowded with people.

As a grand test of the Fire Nation twice a year, this time Konoha invited many daimyo from small countries to come and watch it to declare his strength, not to mention that many merchants and civilians from neighboring countries flocked over.

As a grand ceremony in the era of peace, the selection of Zhongnin gave these ordinary people a good pastime.

"Ning Ci, are you ready?"

Tian Tian, who specially changed into a cyan short shirt, appeared next to Ning Ci.

"Well, let's go."

Ning Ci's eyes paid attention to the crowded crowd around him, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, are you going to start, Konoha Collapse Plan!

Knowing this in his heart, Ning Ci sneered, unfortunately, for that nine-tailed kid, today may be the worst day!

You have to know that you also deliberately prepared something, although it was not specially prepared for Naruto, but Ning Ji didn't mind casting it on him first.

Fate or something, it's up to me to break it!

Tian Tian on the side, obviously felt that Ning Ci had something more than usual, and looked at Ning Ci more in surprise, but he didn't think much about it.

Sensing that Tian Tian's gaze stayed on him slightly, Ning Ci glanced sideways slightly, making Tian Tian's cheeks redden, looking at the obviously shy girl, Ning Ci didn't feel anything in his heart, but couldn't stop apologizing and wandering inside.

Sorry, every day, what happens next may be unacceptable to you!

With the sigh hidden in his heart, Ning Ci's occasionally soft heart became hard again.

No emotion is revealed in the eyes, and hesitation does not exist.

In order to break fate, Ning Er was already destined to give up something.

Not confused and hesitant in his heart, Ning Ci walked towards the examination room of this Zhongnin selection unusually calmly.

After a while, Ning Ci and Tian Tian arrived at the examination room of the Zhongnin selection, which was an oval-shaped examination room, which was already full of people from all over the world, and they could no longer restrain their inner emotions, looking at the candidates who stepped into the examination room one by one, the climactic cheers suddenly spread throughout the entire examination room.
