Chapter Eighty-Six: Interest

"I have a few things to say before I start the third exam." Ape Fei Ri Slash was not polite, lightly exhaled a puff of smoke, and said to the many candidates in front of him: "That is about the real purpose of this exam." ”

"The real purpose!?" The words of the three generations of Hokage Ape Fei Sun Slash made many candidates frown and look at each other with a little doubt.

"I'm sure you've already heard that the purpose of this exam is to 'enhance friendship between nations and improve the overall quality of ninjas,'" Sarutobi glanced at the expressions of the many candidates calmly, and continued, "But I don't want you to misinterpret the true meaning of this. ”

"This exam is actually a microcosm of the war between the Allies!" Seeing this, he continued: "You only have to look at history to know that the current allies have been enemies who are adjacent to each other and compete with each other for strength in the past. ”

Naruto couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Sarutobi's words, and hurriedly asked loudly, "Why are we doing this?" Isn't this an exam held for the selection of the Nakashinobi!? ”

"That's true, this exam was held in order to select an excellent shinobi who was good enough to serve as a middle ninja, but on the other hand, ......," Sarutobi said, picking up his pipe, nodding the many candidates in front of him with the end, and said, "It is also an occasion for you ninjas, carrying the prestige of the country and the ninja village, to fight with all your might!" ”

"The danger of the country, the country, and the ninja village?" Sarutobi suddenly weighed a heavy burden on the bodies of many candidates, which made Ino hesitate with a little uneasiness.

"THE CANDIDATES WHO WILL TAKE THE THIRD EXAM NEXT ARE THE BEST OF THE MANY SHINOBI JING YING, AND WE WILL INVITE MANY WELL-KNOWN PEOPLE WHO ARE THE COMMISSIONERS OF THE MISSION, AND EVEN THE LORDS OF VARIOUS COUNTRIES TO VISIT YOUR COMPETITION!" Sarutobi said in a deep voice: "The lords of the countries that own the ninja villages, as well as the leaders of the various ninja villages, will also be present at that time. ”

"The employer entrusted with the task chose the ninja village because of the ninja's su zhì and the strength of the ninja village." Sarufei Ri said seriously: "The ninja Su zhì shown in this exam will be used as a reference for the audience, and the strong ninja village will be entrusted with more tasks, while the weak ninja village will be reduced in the number of tasks." ”

The third generation or the domestic ape Fei Ri slash paused slightly, allowing many candidates to digest what he said before, and then continued: "And the results of the exam can also make the lords of various countries and the heads of ninja villages who sent candidates to participate in this exam know their own strength and will not provoke in vain - this is the double pressure of diplomacy and politics!" ”

"Then why do we have to fight to the death when we take the exam!?" After Inuzuka understood Sarutobi's words, he asked loudly with reluctance, not many people like to wander in the environment of life and death and danger, life is only once, and for everyone, it is an incomparably precious existence.

"The strength of the country is equal to the strength of the ninja village, and the strength of the ninja village is equal to the strength of the ninja ......." After hearing Inuzuka's question, Sarutobi looked at the other party expressionlessly, and his tone was calm and cold: "And the true strength of a ninja can only be perfectly displayed in a desperate place!" ”

"The purpose of this exam is to pass the expression of the ninja village and the strength of the ninja village and the country," Sarutobi Hichisa refocused on the many candidates, especially the Konoha candidates, and said: "In other words, this is not an ordinary exam, but a battlefield where you, as ninjas, gamble your life and the prestige of the ninja village and the country, and fight to the death!" ”

"So, before the third exam begins, I have one last question for you." Ape Fei Ri Slash slowly spoke, "Are you ready?" ”

…………

Because the purpose of the third exam is to allow the audience, mainly daimyo and celebrities, to obtain information on the strength of the ninja village from the many shinobi jing, so that the ninja village can increase the number of tasks in the future for a period of time.

Therefore, from the perspective of these characters, it is impossible to hold the competition for a long time, short, but exciting and intense, which is the purpose of the third exam, so the competition method was chosen as a head-to-head duel between ninjas, there is nothing more interesting than a face-to-face fight, and compared to ordinary people, because it is difficult to understand the many tactical actions of ninjas, a simple and direct head-to-head duel can also make them intuitively recognize the strength of the candidates.

That is to say, just like the original book, the remaining many Shinobi Jingying at this time will also go through a preliminary tournament with a very high elimination rate, leaving the best batch of candidates, so as to get the opportunity to compete on stage in front of many celebrities, daimyos, and ninja leaders from all over the world.

"So, if you feel a little unwell ......, or if you don't want to continue taking the exam after listening to the rules explained by Hokage-sama before, please report it immediately." Moonlight cleared his throat and said to the candidates in a hoarse voice, basically referring to the candidates who had just entered the Central Tower and had not been fully rested: "Because we are about to start the preliminary exam!" ”

Needless to say, after the cruel second exam in the Forest of Death, many candidates must also understand that the next pre-selection exam with a very high elimination rate may face a very difficult and dangerous battle, so there is a Moonlight Storm to ask.

"Exams are about to start!?" After Sakura Haruno heard the words of the moonlight blast, she cried out in surprise, looked at the six people of the eighth and tenth classes of Konoha Shinobi, who had been in a much fuller state after a few days of adjustment, and said hesitantly: "But we have just passed through the Guò Forest of Death and completed the second exam!" ”

"You've graduated from school and are no longer the students who need to be pampered by teachers!" After Moonlight Blaster coughed, he said unceremoniously to Sakura Haruno: "The second exam has created a relatively equal platform, as for the time to reach the central tower, it is related to the individual's ability, and Konoha as the organizer will not give you special care!" ”

Sakura Haruno was reprimanded by Moonlight Blast, but the worry on her face had not faded, not to mention herself-or that she was not confident in her own strength--at this time, Sasuke Uchiha, who was beside Sakura, was holding the part of his left shoulder and neck that touched his neck all the time, and if he was slightly involved, his originally handsome face would twist into a ball because of the pain, and he looked extremely hideous.

If the pre-selection does not give time to recuperate, the sequelae of Uchiha Sasuke's Heavenly Curse Seal by Orochimaru will not subside, and Uchiha Sasuke's state will be difficult to cope with the subsequent challenges at all.

Sakura Haruno looked at Sasuke Uchiha who was in pain worriedly, her eyes became firm again, and she was about to raise her hand to make a sound and announce Sasuke's situation, but she couldn't help but catch her soft hair tightly with a slightly cold palm, Sakura Haruno was shocked, and when she looked back, she happened to meet Sasuke Uchiha's dark eyes.

"Don't tell me about my wounds, Sakura!" Uchiha Sasuke stared at Sakura Haruno, close to her ear, and whispered, "Don't meddle in your business!" ”

"Why are you so reckless!?" Sakura Haruno said excitedly, but not because Sasuke took the initiative to grab her hand for the first time and spoke close to her ear, but because of the worry and fear from the heart at the moment.

The mist had already filled Haruno Sakura's eyes, and at this time she said with a choked voice: "I feel so scared...... I beg you, Sasuke, I don't want to see you suffer anymore, you quit!" ”

"Shut up! Sakura! Uchiha Sasuke let out a low snort, interrupting Sakura Haruno's voice, with a hint of vulture and gloom in his face: "I said it, I am a man with hatred, and I am the only descendant of the Uchiha clan. ”

"For me, it doesn't matter if I pass the guò Zhongnin exam and become a Zhongnin, I just want to pass the guò exam to prove my strength, whether I am strong or not!" Uchiha Sasuke's gaze crossed Sakura Haruno's shoulders and looked at the many candidates who were still left at this time, especially Shikamaru's straight back, and there seemed to be a dark flame burning in his eyes: "I just want to fight these best people to prove that my years of hard work have not been in vain...... I want to know that I am one step closer to revenge!" ”

Sakura Haruno and Naruto Uzumaki, who had already noticed the two, looked at the unforgettable hatred on Sasuke Uchiha's face in amazement.

"There is no better occasion than this exam, and I want Konoha and even the people of the ninja world to know that the Uchiha clan has not declined, even if I am the only one ......," Uchiha Sasuke frowned, endured the pain of the Heavenly Curse Seal, gritted his teeth and said, "It's not something that ordinary people can defeat!" ”

…………

In the venue of the third exam preliminaries, a cold gaze fell on Sasuke Uchiha, who was struggling to endure and resist the erosion of the curse mark, and the owner of the gaze had a hint of playfulness in his eyes, but it was not obvious under the cover of the eyes, the owner of this gaze was the guidance of the trio of Yakushi Dou, Red Bronze Armor, and Jian Misumi.

"It's really a tenacious will, it can resist the erosion of the spell mark, and come to this point," Orochimaru, disguised as Konoha Kaminobi, thought excitedly in his heart, forcibly enduring the habit of licking the corners of his mouth: "His appearance is really too much for me to look forward to!" ”

"But ......," Orochimaru's gaze turned and fell on Shikamaru not far from Sasuke, thinking with a little interest, "This is the child named after Hinata?" It's really not easy to kill Hechuan Qiwan with someone! ”

The biggest threat to the renegade of the ninja village is the mastery of the personnel and security arrangements of the ninja village before the rebellion of the village, and even the mastery of the connections, Orochimaru as one of the "three ninjas" of Konoha in the past, before the rebellion of the village, the reputation in Konoha Village is naturally not low, there are a large number of followers, and there are a lot of connections to use, because of the problem of the heart, there have also been a lot of secret hands, although Konoha must have precautions, but many times, passing on some information can still be done lightly.

The six people of the eighth and tenth classes of Konoha Shinobi, with Shikamaru as the main player, killed the detailed process of Kawakawa Qiwan, Orochimaru already knew.
