And it is said to be a "great achievement", but Zhizhen himself knows that this time he fought with Orochimaru, it can be said that he had little effect, and it did not reach the situation that Zhizhen expected at all.

Of course, in the eyes of outsiders, Zhizhen was the hero of "forcing back" Orochimaru, but in fact, he only forced Orochimaru back, and did not cause substantial damage to Orochimaru.

Orochimaru is still alive, and his plans are not hindered in any way.

Even, because of this battle, after Orochimaru understood Konoha's strength, he was able to formulate a more perfect plan to attack Konoha.

Therefore, for Zhizhen, this battle was won on the surface, but in fact it was completely "defeated".

Therefore, Zhizhen didn't dare to take credit, he was not so thick-skinned that he had to take credit for not doing anything.

"Hokage-sama, don't make too much fun of me." Zhizhen hurriedly said: "This time I was able to force back the Great Snake Pill, it was all the credit of everyone, and I didn't dare to take credit." ”

"Really?" In the face of Zhizhen's humility, the third generation was very satisfied, but he said: "It's good that you have such thoughts, but don't be too modest, Zhizhen." ”

Hearing this, Zhizhen knelt down on one knee and said, "My lord, I'm not modest, but fact. After this battle with Orochimaru, I deeply understand my own shortcomings, whether it is strength or wisdom, including mentality, I still have many shortcomings in all aspects. ”

After a pause, Zhizhen looked up at the three generations and said truthfully: "Just like this time, I could have done better, if I had been stronger, maybe Orochimaru wouldn't have been able to run away." ”

"Really?" Listening to Zhizhen's words, the three generations looked at Zhizhen seriously, and seeing that Zhizhen's expression did not seem to be fake, he slowly restrained his smile and asked, "Are you trying to kill Orochimaru?" ”

"I thought it could." Zhizhen didn't lie, and he didn't hide his thoughts because the three generations loved Orochimaru.

Hearing this, the three generations fell silent and were silent for a few seconds, but they smiled and said kindly: "You, I can't see that you are so arrogant. ”

“？” Zhizhen was stunned when he heard this, and before he could speak, he heard Kakashi say, "Don't be too complacent, Zhizhen. ”

Shijin looked up and saw Kakashi shrugging at the dead fish's eyes and said, "Although you have great power now, don't think that you are invincible in the world. ”

"Senior, how can I have?" Shijin was a little confused, what is this, he was obviously admitting his mistakes, but he was said to be arrogant and proud by Miyo and Kakashi.

"Zhizhen, where did you get the confidence to kill Orochimaru?" Kakashi Road.

"Hmm......" Zhizhen lowered his head and said, "No, it's not me." I didn't think I could do it, but I thought I could do it with my seniors and Hokage-sama. Zhizhen said truthfully: "However, I didn't expect that he could let him run away like this." ”

"So." Kakashi touched the back of his head and said, "Since Orochimaru ran away from all of us, then why do you still blame yourself?" ”

"Uh......" Shijin looked at Kakashi, and Kakashi said again: "Shizhen, no one asks you to kill Orochimaru now, but it can be said that you can hold on to Orochimaru alone for so long, it is beyond everyone's imagination, and you have done well enough." ”

"Senpai." Shijin suddenly came over, Kakashi originally meant what he meant.

"Anyway, if you really can solve the Great Snake Pill alone, it's too exciting." Kakashi Road.

Shijin laughed when he heard this, and Kakashi said again, "So, don't do this again in the future." ”

Hearing this, Shijin was stunned for a moment, he understood what Kakashi meant, and then nodded, "I know, senior." ”

The third generation nodded, and also said, "Shijin, you are only seventeen years old now, it is normal to have shortcomings, as Kakashi said, you have done well enough, beyond my imagination." ”

"It's not your responsibility to run away this time, you don't need to put pressure on yourself, you know?"

"Yes, sir." Zhizhen glanced at the three generations with emotion, indeed, judging from the situation, it really doesn't matter to Zhizhen that Orochimaru ran away, and as the three generations said, Zhizhen has done well enough.

But the three generations don't know, Shizhen is the one who knows everything.

In the case of knowing everything, he still played the cards like this, and it is understandable for Zhizhen to blame himself.

The third generation said again: "Of course, since you feel that you have shortcomings, you must also work hard to fill such shortcomings. Although there is no need to blame yourself, you still have to work hard where you should work, Zhizhen, understand? ”

"Yes, sir. I will learn the lessons of this time. "Zhizhen said.

"You're a smart kid, I think you know what to do, get up." Mishiro continued, "So Shijin, you have made a great contribution to the village this time, and as the Hokage, I should reward you." ”

Zhizhen didn't refuse when he heard this, and it seemed that he was very hypocritical when he refused, but Zhizhen did feel that it was useless, so he said: "I will listen to the arrangement of the adults." ”

"Well, I've already thought about what kind of reward I will give you, and when your rematch invigilation is over, come to me to pick it up." The third generation laughed.

Zhizhen nodded when he heard this, and he didn't think much about what kind of reward the third generation gave him, until the moment he got the reward, Zhizhen was really scared.

Of course, that's an afterthought.

When Kakashi heard about the rematch, he immediately spoke: "Speaking of which, Zhizhen, you are the main examiner, how to take the rematch?" ”

Hearing this question, Zhizhen suddenly had a bitter face, where did he have time to think about the exam, he said, "Not yet." ”

However, it is not surprising that Zhizhen is difficult to play tricks in a game of individual strength competition like the rematch.

It's an exam that divides wins and loses by strength, and it's not good to add some miscellaneous rules.

Moreover, the point is on this exam, what can be done to Naruto's advantage?

Otherwise, let's have a team competition? Let each village go its own way?

Zhizhen directly vetoed it, what is the difference between this and the survival game of the Death Forest?

It's really a team competition, it's just to remove survival and scrolls, and it's meaningless.

And that doesn't mean it's good for Naruto.

Hey, how do you take the test? Zhizhen couldn't think of it for a while, and his expression was a little bitter.

Seeing Zhizhen's expression, Kakashi said, "Well, if you can't think of it, it's just one-on-one." ”

Zhizhen nodded and said, "It's still the same sentence, if there are too many people, it's too slow to fight." ”

He thought for a moment and asked, "Senpai, Hokage-sama, do you have any ideas?" ”

Kakashi spread his hands, and the three generations smiled, "It's your job, think for yourself." ”

"Then let's ask another question, Hokage-sama, senior, if you can't help your own people, what should you do to benefit your own people?" Zhizhen asked.

Miyo shook his head and laughed, and Kakashi complained, "So you guys have such an idea." ”

Zhizhen smiled, and the third generation admonished: "Zhizhen, this is an exam held by Konoha, if it is not fair, Konoha will become a laughing stock." ”

That being said, there was no displeasure in the tone of the three generations.

Also, the three generations are a short-term character, how can they really think about their own people? It's just talking.

Kakashi said, "It's actually very simple, in a fair exam, it's impossible to benefit yourself. So what we have to do is to make the other side unfavorable. ”

"Huh?" Zhizhen's eyes lit up, as if he had caught something.

Sandai said: "In the examination of individual competitions, it is an understandable fact that strong people have a high probability of winning. So what do you think can make the opponent's winning chance smaller? ”

Kakashi didn't say much, and the three generations laughed and didn't say anything.

And Zhizhen thought about it carefully, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he suddenly had a plan for the exam.
