Chapter 155: Battle Grouping
After Sarutobi spoke, Echizen Kazuya and the other seven looked at him expectantly, waiting to hear the rules of the final official selection competition.
"You represent the strength of your respective countries, and I hope you can give your best in the official selection competition, so the official selection competition will be held in a month!" Ape Fei Ri looked at the seven people in front of him and said in a calm tone.
"Excuse me, why did the official selection competition delay until a month later?" As soon as he heard the words of Sarutobi, Koji Takeuchi asked puzzled.
"As I said before, in the third exam, many daimyo and celebrities will be invited here as guests, and this month is the preparation time, in order to inform the daimyo and ninja leaders of various countries, that the pre-selection has ended, and they can come to watch the official selection!" Sarutobi replied calmly.
After taking a breath, Ape Fei Ri Slash said endlessly: "At the same time, this month is also to give you some preparation time, through the first two exams and the qualifiers just now, you should have some understanding of your opponent in the official selection competition, and you can do targeted improvement in the next month!" ”
"Can we know in advance who will be in the official selection match?" After listening to Sarutobi's words, Echizen Kazuya asked calmly.
Ape Fei Ri nodded and replied calmly, "Yes, the order of the official selection competition will be decided soon, and you can know who your opponent is in advance!" ”
"In the previous battles, although it was also a real battle, it was against an opponent who didn't know the strength. But the official selection competition is different, because some candidates have already shown their strength, so you can use the next month to make targeted improvements, or you can find ways to get more information about your opponents, develop better battle strategies, and so on! Ape Fei Ri Slash continued.
"Didn't the people who didn't play in the qualifiers take advantage of them?" Koji Takeuchi asked.
"Yes, it's true that they will take advantage of something, and their abilities will be better hidden, but this is also luck, luck is part of strength, and you didn't choose them as opponents in the qualifiers, isn't it out of affirmation of their strength?" Sarutobi said with a smile.
"It doesn't matter, then let's decide the order of the battle quickly!" Koji Takeuchi didn't seem to care about the fact that there were four people who kept their abilities secret, and waved his hand confidently and said with a smile.
Echizen Kazuya also smiled slightly when he heard his words, he probably knew why Koji Takeuchi didn't think so, because although Koji Takeuchi played, the ability he exposed was only the tip of the iceberg, if everyone really judged his strength from the few ninjutsu he revealed, maybe he would be quite happy.
"Well, let's start grouping now!" Sarutobi gestured to Kaichi Yamanaka.
"Each of you takes a note from this box." Yamanaka walked past the seven candidates in turn with a box and asked each of them to take a note.
"Now that everyone has got the note, let's report the numbers on the note from left to right!" Seeing that the note was divided, Mori Noi Biki, who was in charge of registration, said solemnly.
Qiu Daoyiren, who was standing on the very edge, opened the note in his hand and glanced at it, then lit it up and said loudly, "Mine is No. 2." ”
"Mine is number 8." Echizen Kazuya, who was standing beside Akimichi Yoshito, said with a smile.
"Number 3." Uchiha Itachi showed the note in his hand and said calmly.
Tetsushi Hinata looked at the note and said in a deep voice, "Mine is No. 4!" ”
The next ones were Kamiyashi, Koji Takeuchi, and Jomaru at No. 7, No. 1, and No. 5, respectively.
"Very good, then Nara Luyi is No. 6, according to the results of the draw just now, this is the order of the official selection competition!" Mori Naibiki quickly completed the record and made a table according to it.
"Group 1: Koji Takeuchi vs. Akido Yoshito; Group 2: Tetsushi Hinata vs. Itachi Uchiha; Group 3: Jomaru vs. Nara Kaeup; Group 4: Kamiya lost vs. Kazuya Echizen! ”
Echizen Kazuya and the others immediately looked at the form that Mori Noi Hiki had shown, and saw the result of the battle clearly and clearly.
Echizen Kazuya saw that the opponent was Kamiya Lost, and turned his head to smile at Kamiya Lost in Yuyin Village, but he was startled by Kamiya Lost who had just finished watching the battle grouping.
"How could you be in a group with this pervert, it's really bad luck!" Kamiyashi was full of sadness when he saw the battle group, and his heart trembled when he saw Kazuya Echizen smiling at him, and Kazuya Echizen was the first candidate to play in the qualifiers, and the brutal image of the opponent ending in three seconds left a deep impression on him.
"I didn't expect to be in a group with you, the genius of the Uchiha family, Uchiha Itachi! I can't wait for the official selection competition! Tetsushi Hinata said to Itachi Uchiha with a proud face, with a strong confidence and expectation in his tone.
Hinata Tetsushi is seventeen years old this year, and he is one of the best young people in the Hyuga family, but his reputation is completely incomparable to that of Uchiha Itachi, and he is also a child of the Konoha Village family, and Hinata Tetsushi is of course not convinced by Uchiha Itachi, and he has long wanted to let Uchiha Itachi see the power of the Hyuga family.
"I'm looking forward to fighting you, too." Uchiha Itachi smiled slightly and said flatly.
"I'm going to fight that person who looks very powerful, and he will also shoot Tu Dun-Tu Long, so I won't fight him with the same injury as Lu Yi, it's really scary to think about." Akimichi Yoshito glanced at Koji Takeuchi and whispered to Echizen Kazuya.
"Then you should eat more this month, I think as long as you have enough energy reserves, no matter who you are, there is hope of winning!" Kazuya Echizen said with a smile.
"Well, that's what I said, I passed the first two exams, and I must go home for a big meal." As soon as he heard about the sermon and eating, Qiu Daoyi had no worries and said happily, what a simple good child.
"I have a question, the official selection competition is a knockout round, so there should be only one winner in the end, is it possible that only one of the so many people who participated in the selection examination of the middle ninja this time can become the middle ninja?" Koji Takeuchi asked puzzled.
"No, it's not!" Hearing Koji Takeuchi's doubts, Sarutobi immediately denied it: "The judges for this official selection are composed of all the daimyo and ninja village leaders, including me, and we will make an absolute evaluation of you based on your performance in the knockout round, and finally decide whether you have the qualifications to become a middle ninja." ”
In the end, Sarutobi Sun Slash concluded in a solemn tone, "So, even if you lose in the first round, you may become a middle ninja, and conversely, even if you win the final victory, you may not be able to become a middle ninja!" ”
