Chapter 50: The Zhongnin Exam
The middle ninja exam is about to begin, and there have been signs a little earlier, such as more and more 'outsiders' appearing in Konoha Village, and Konoha ninjas began to return to the village one after another, no longer taking long-term assignments.
The three generations of Hokage Sarutobi Hizashi also asked the ninjas who led the team if they recommended Shinobi to take the Shinobi exam, and Kakashi Hachiki, Sunset Red, Sarufei Asma, and Yamashiro Aoba all recommended their Shinobi to take this Shinobi exam.
This also caused some dissatisfaction in Iruka and caused a little skirmish, but the final result was that the three generations of Hokage approved the recommendation of several Kaminin, and by this time, the Nakashinobi exam was officially on the agenda.
Compared to the other three groups of people, Ethan had to solve another problem first if he wanted to take the Zhongnin exam.
The first two stages of the middle ninja exam were all taken in small groups, such as Naruto, they all had ready-made teammates, and Ethan was the only one on his side, so he had to team up with some other lower ninjas who took the middle ninja exam before he could take this exam.
Konoha is no stranger to this situation, because there is no guarantee that the same group of shinobi will take the exam together every time, and there is no guarantee that there will be no shinobi who have signed up separately.
So generally speaking, before the middle ninja exam, the lower ninjas will be integrated in formation, so that it is convenient for those who have formed a team temporarily to carry out some running-in.
Ethan once again received preferential treatment because of the attention he received: he didn't need to wait for a random assignment to form a team, but directly selected the right teammates from the many registered shinobi to form a team with Ethan.
"Hello, my name is Ethan. ”
So he picked and chosen, and he picked an undercover agent of Orochimaru?
"Dou is a shinobi with a lot of experience, he has taken several shinobi exams, and he is very familiar with the mode of this exam, you can ask him about the relevant questions. ”
Yamashiro Aoba left after explaining, as for the last teammate of the team, he was not ready to continue to spend time looking for it, whether it was the two of them to invite other shinobi to form a team, or waiting for Konoha to be assigned.
Through the mission of the country of waves, Yamashiro Aoba has determined that Ethan's strength is enough to be promoted to the middle ninja, and what he lacks most is still experience, and Dou is a suitable supplement.
Even if Ethan fails in this exam, it is nothing, anyway, Ethan is still very young, and the purpose of letting him take this exam is more to broaden his horizons and increase his experience.
Of course, for the major countries, the Zhongnin exam is still a booth to show the talent reserve, and a young genius like Ethan will definitely appear on this kind of stage.
"I'm older than you, and I became a ninja a little earlier, you can call me Senpai. ”
Of course, Ethan doesn't call him senior, so he said that he is still used to calling him by his first name, because it seems more familiar.
"After all, we're teammates for the next period of time. ”
"Huh. ”
Ethan responded with a kind smile to the innocent (?), pushed his glasses around, and then began to explain to Ethan the various contents of the Shinobi exam, as well as what kind of questions he encountered in the exams he had experienced.
In general, the things he talked about are very simple, which is very in line with his image of a shinobi who doesn't seem to have much talent and has barely accumulated a lot of shallow experience.
After so much contact, if Ethan wasn't a cheating existence, he would never have been able to find out that he was acting.
Sure enough, it is worthy of the elite of spies.
After explaining their experience, the two discussed finding another shinobi partner, and the two of them couldn't take the exam.
"Leave it to me. ”
Yakushidou said that he had been a ninja for a few years, and he still knew a few good shinobi, and he also knew who had signed up for this exam, so he could invite the other party to join the group.
Ethan didn't have any opinion on this, but said that the shinobi he knew currently had a team, so he could only ask Dou to find an excellent companion.
In my heart, I was wondering who the pharmacist would find?
The next day, he met Yakushidou's teammate, a man wearing black sunglasses and covering his face with a black cloth.
"This senior in red armor is a very powerful ninja, and with his joining, we will definitely pass this exam. ”
Ethan looked at this guy, he knew that this person was a spy like Yakushidou, which meant that he was actually equivalent to taking the place of another spy, Jian Micheng?
They're not going to find a chance to be themselves on the exam, are they?
introduced himself as usual, but compared to the pharmacist, even if he knew that this person's various postures were disguised illusions, the red armor looked like 'you are all scum, Lao Tzu is the most awesome', which is really unlikeable.
"The predecessor of the red armor is actually very good, but it looks colder. ”
"Humph!"
Red armor has always been unhappy with the pharmacist, and he doesn't seem to have the slightest idea of hiding it, it seems that he really doesn't take Ethan seriously, and thinks that even if he reveals his identity, he can kill Ethan with a wave of his hand.
At that moment, Ethan suddenly wished that he would simply let himself and the red armor fight during the middle ninja exam, so that he could be killed neatly and openly.
Now, it's a lot of trouble to torture and kill a fellow ninja, and he's just just liking this kind of life, and he doesn't want to change it for the time being.
"Okay, let's get acquainted with our teammates. ”
In the days that followed, this temporary group was busy running in, although the red armor was dissatisfied with the sudden destruction of the pre-planned team, but he knew that this kind of interference from the 'upper echelons' of Konoha was not something he could oppose, and before that day came, he had to honestly continue to hide his identity, even if he was unhappy, he could only endure it.
As for the Shinobi exam, in his opinion, it was just a game, and it would be nice to deal with it casually.
He didn't know, Ethan also felt that the middle ninja exam was actually a game, the difference was that he didn't want to deal with it, but felt that such an interesting game could be played well.
It's a pity that I have to run in with these two spies, and he hasn't seen me until now, so it's a pity to miss his first appearance.
"I'll see ...... soon, anyway"
Ethan suddenly thought of one thing, if he was assigned to fight against me in a one-on-one competition, would he beat him, beat him hard, or beat him to death?
"It's a real headache. ”
He wasn't worried that the strength he showed was too amazing, in the eyes of Konoha higher-ups, he was a very hard-working genius, and he was improving almost every day.
In addition, Konoha Village gave itself a lot of benefits before, and it is not too exaggerated to combine it with a significant increase in strength.
What's more, Ethan won't use any exaggerated tricks, he hasn't greatly increased the strength ceiling of this vest.
Basically, he follows a very normal range to improve his strength, which is in line with the level of a genius who has worked hard and worked hard, and he will not be so talented that people in this world can't believe it, and then have any doubts.
So far, in addition to his excellent physical skills and powerful speed, he has been able to show more and more proficient earth escape, as well as water escape and ...... that can already be used I can barely make do with the medical ninjutsu that I can use.
"Do you want to show that?"
I've been doing the foreshadowing, but he thinks it's too amazing to show that trick directly, and it may take a while.
So he decided, don't exaggerate too much for the time being, just rely on these abilities to take the Zhongnin exam.
The day of submitting the application form soon came, Ethan had already gotten his application form from Aoba Yamashiro, and today he had to meet up with his teammates before heading to the registration location together.
"Tsk, that's a nuisance. ”
Ethan was actually very punctual, but the medicine man and the red armor arrived earlier, and they waited here for a while, so the red armor complained as usual - Ethan suspected that this thing had deliberately set such an annoying character image for himself, and such a person would seem less strange without friends, which would help to hide his identity.
"Okay senior, Ethan wasn't late, it's just that we arrived too early...... Now that we're here, let's go. ”
The registration location is in classroom 301 of the ninja school, which is not difficult to find.
Maybe it was too early, and Ethan didn't see several other freshmen in the same class, let alone Xiao Li's wonderful performance on the second floor.
It doesn't matter if anything else, such as Xiao Li and Haruno Sakura's confession was rejected, it doesn't matter if you have a nickname or something, it's a pity that Xiao Li missed the scene where he showed some strength for the first time.
The main reason is that Ethan wants to judge by observing Xiao Li whether the strength he is exaggerating now is not exaggerated, after all, Li Luo is a very good reference standard in terms of physical skills.
"Missed again?"
Compared to the plot of the country of waves that was inexplicably involved, these daily plots Ethan didn't seem to bump into them once.
Yakushidou didn't understand why Ethan's mood suddenly fluctuated significantly, and thought that he was a little nervous about taking the Zhongnin exam for the first time.
"It looks like the time hasn't come yet, so let's find a place to wait. ”
"Okay!"
As time passed, more and more people came to this classroom, and Ethan's acquaintances began to appear.
"What, are you here to take this exam too?"
Nara Shikamaru, who looked lazy and seemed to never be motivated, saw Ethan, glanced at the two people next to Ethan by the way, and immediately made a judgment: The age is obviously much older, is it a teammate who is looking for temporarily, maybe it will affect Ethan's performance?
As a smart person who is good at observing and thinking, Shikamaru has long sensed that Ethan's strength is very strong. And this kind of exam is likely to be a duel with a guy like Ethan.
"Oh, what a trouble!"
