Chapter 18: The Zhongnin Exam is coming
Regarding the increase in speed, Zhou You has been thinking of many ways, but to no avail.
There is no mention of how to train your speed in the original plot.
There is explosiveness to travel around, but it is difficult to reach the speed that Xiao Li shows.
Zhou You himself also secretly thought to himself that he really wanted Xiao Li and Kai to run around the training ground with the passion of youth and carry weights.
Only this point Zhou You dare not agree, if Zhou You really does this, first of all, his usual practice will be completely disrupted, and this kind of exercise can really exercise speed, which also requires long-term practice to maintain.
On the way back to the village, Zhou You carefully inquired about Kakashi Hachiki with questions that had been buried in his heart for a long time.
Kakashi said that Xiao Li and Kai's speed, Zhou You can't envy it, in fact, Zhou You's speed is already very good with his explosive power, Zhou You is an all-round ninja, so there is no need to compete with ninjas who specialize in physical arts.
In order to maintain their strength and explosiveness, they will conduct a long period of time and a lot of physical training every day, and Zhou You needs to practice and practice in ninjutsu, physical arts, illusions, chakra and other aspects.
So unless you master the space ninjutsu like the four generations, if you want to surpass Xiao Li in terms of speed alone, Zhou You should quickly dispel this idea and try to make up for his shortcomings in other aspects.
With the morning cultivation along the way, the afternoon rushed, and the evening rested.
After receiving the mission of the country of waves, after nearly a month or so from the time of departure to the present, the four of them finally saw the gate of Konoha Village again.
Kakashi said that he went to the Hokage's office to report on the mission, and Zhou Yu broke up with Naruto and the other three, dragging the body of the wind and dust on his back, carrying a backpack that was much lighter than when he left Konoha, and walked towards home.
This trip didn't have the leisure to bring any gifts, and when he noticed that the plot was slightly broken, Zhou You's heart was already messed up.
In addition to the fact that Zhou You's heart is a little messy, the biggest reason is that with Shikamaru and the others becoming ninjas, of course, they can also leave Konoha Village with the mission, and things from the outside world are nothing unusual for them.
When I got home, I put my luggage and other items back in my room, took a shower, greeted Asayuna, and prepared to go out to visit my friends.
Of course, the first is Fuxi Yao and Okita, these two are teammates after all, and they are going to visit their new sister at night, Sunset Red.
Although he still travels around until now, he still can't let go of the fact that Sunset Red has become his sister-
As time passed, it was the end of September in a blink of an eye, and the time for the Zhongnin exam was coming.
(In the original book, the time of the middle ninja exam was July 1st, but for the sake of the plot, it was adjusted and changed to October 1st.) )
After traveling back to the village, he followed Yamanaka Haiichi and his teammates Fukuxi Yao and Hinata Okita for daily training, and the ordinary D-level tasks were handed over to the freshman team that had just graduated, while the traveling class and Ning Ciban worked hard to prepare for the upcoming middle ninja exam.
Tasks above the C level are completed by many middle ninjas in Konoha Village.
As time passed, on September 21st, that is, about ten days before the middle ninja exam, Mito Menyan told Zhou You in a conversation with Zhou Yu by chance, hoping that he could use this middle ninja exam to show off Konoha's new strength.
Zhou You only gritted his teeth and agreed.
If you don't count the human pillar power of the sand ninja, Zhou You's current strength must be at the top level in this middle ninja exam, and the only one who can fight him is Ning Ci from the same village, and Xiao Li has not yet entered the sight of the high-level for the time being.
Of course, they didn't know that this time the sand ninja actually sent their human pillar force to conduct the middle ninja exam.
After all, this time the middle ninja exam is about the construction funds allocated to Konoha by the Fire Country in the coming year.
Regarding the covert meddling of Konoha in the country of waves, only a few people among the powerful people of the country of fire know about it.
After all, ninjas are only high-end combat power in the eyes of the high-level leaders of the Fire Country, and if the tool wants to get out of control and choose to stand on its own, this is naturally impossible to allow-
When Zhou You got up this morning, he deliberately took a closer look at the date and found that there was still about a week before the middle ninja exam.
I secretly said in my heart, no wonder I found that the strangers in the village have gradually increased, and it turns out that they are candidates from other villages.
In fact, the number of candidates from other villages is not very large, after all, the Zhongnin exam is held twice a year, but this time it is close to the New Year, and it is held in Konoha again, so the scale is relatively larger than usual.
Moreover, Konoha Village noticed that the Land of Fire was preparing to learn from the Land of Wind to gradually reduce the construction budget of the village, and carefully built it.
The time of the Zhongnin exam was deliberately modified, and the original Zhongnin exam that should be held in July and August was postponed to October 1, and the exam is expected to last for about 45 days, including the initial written test, survival test and the final final.
Originally, after the New Year, it was the day when Sarutobi Hichi, the third generation Hokage who had been guarding Konoha Village for decades, was ready to abdicate again to make way for Xian.
So determined to increase the attractiveness of this middle ninja exam to the highest level, and also invited the wind shadow of the sand ninja village to come and show Konoha control like the ninja world, but many people only guessed the beginning, not the end.
After a routine of self-training and breakfast, Zhou You went straight to his teammates and instructor Haiichi Yamanaka for today's training task.
After the training with everyone, Zhou You walked towards home in a hot sweat.
As soon as he walked across the street, he found that Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke had just finished their mission and were walking towards their respective homes under Kakashi's leadership.
"Yo, all of you in Class 7, and Kakashi-sensei, hello! Just finished a mission? Zhou You looked at Naruto who was being helped by Sakura and spoke.
"yes, how are you doing?" Kakashi asked.
Kakashi was still more concerned, this could have become the recent situation of the three disciples under him, and he appreciated the three of them in all aspects, but it was only later that he learned about the specific situation of his teacher's child and the only remaining clansmen of his good friend Obito, so he gave up traveling around the three.
Kakashi sighed that he had secretly blamed himself for not paying attention to these things over the years due to various reasons such as missions.
While secretly rejoicing that Naruto Uzumaki was grateful for being taken care of by Umino Iruka after entering the ninja school.
"Yes, Kakashi-sensei, what about you? But looking at Naruto like this, is this stupid guy making trouble for everyone again? Zhou You looked at Naruto, who was obviously in a somewhat sluggish mental state, and spoke.
"Who's going to be strong? I'm just a little tired, and besides, how can such a small task be difficult for me Naruto Uzumaki. Naruto dodged Sakura's support with a slight force, and opened his mouth to the circumambulation.
"Tsk, it's really hard for you, just finished training, I have to go home and wash up with the smelly sweat, you can play by yourself, Kakashi-sensei, I'll go back first." Zhou You smacked his lips and made a smack, which was considered to be a response to Naruto. Then he turned his head to Sasuke Sakura next to him and spoke, and finally bowed slightly to Kakashi Hachiki.
"Well, Nai, you can go back first." Kakashi looked at Zhou Yu, who had a slight bead of sweat on his face and a little wet on his clothes, and spoke.
To be honest, if you travel around in normal times, you will definitely not be like this, and you will talk a little more.
It's just that when I saw this scene just now, I suddenly felt a sense of déjà vu.
After carefully comparing it with my memory, I found that it seemed to be the plot before the opening of the middle ninja exam, and the degree of similarity was very high, so I immediately decided to retreat.
Of course, this kind of scene has been encountered many times, and this is not the main reason, the main reason is that Zhou You saw the figure of the Konohamaru trio on the street corner.
Konohamaru and the others are different from Naruto, Naruto has become a shinobi, and Konohamaru and the others are still in the ninja school.
During the day, they have to endure the verbal attacks of ninja school teachers such as Umino Iruka, and at night, they also have to deal with the mental attacks of tutors such as Eibis, so it will naturally be difficult for them to appear.
