A month passed in a hurry, and the official competition for the high-profile Zhongnin exam came as scheduled.

The month seems slow to some, but fast to others. Different people get different things during the month.

To Tiantian's surprise, on this day, it was not the ruthlessness that never fluctuated her emotions that handed over the ninja to her, but Naruko who always had a warm smile on her face.

"Keep it up, every day." Naruko encouraged.

"Hmm." Tian Tian nodded slightly, and then asked, "Why are you here to deliver the ninja equipment this time?" ”

"Ruthless, there are still some data to measure." Naruko replied gently, calculating the time, and saying goodbye to Tiantian, "Okay, the next thing is the official meeting of the middle ninja." ”

"See you in the official competition for the Zhongnin exam." Tian Tian smiled and waved his hand, putting on a few god costumes that had been smashed out of this time, and his eyes were full of confidence that he had never had.

Advanced ninjutsu? Now she can also use it as she pleases.

······

Whew, whew!

In the vast forest, in one of the open areas, a green-skinned boy with a watermelon head was practicing his moves in the air. The fists and feet stayed firmly in the air, bringing the sound of whirring wind.

Suddenly, the boy quickened his movements, and stopped standing still.

Brush!

"Here, it's my blooming youth, boiling!"

With a stirring sound, Xiao Li did not open any of the restrictions in his body, but purely used his physical strength to run, but the speed was extremely fast.

In an instant, he appeared in front of a big tree, unifying eighty percent of his body's strength, condensing into a rope and blooming out.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

After a few feet fell in a row, the solid oak shook under Xiao Li's legs, and the whole tree kept shaking, and I don't know how many branches and leaves fell.

And Xiao Li continued to kick his face in the air very unscientifically, and his leg strength was heavier than the other, kicking the towering tree to a crumbling ground, and the bark of the tree where he was kicked bloomed.

Rumble!

Finally, the tree completed its mission, and as the trunk disconnected, the whole tree fell to the ground.

"Whew, today's goal, done!" Xiao Li showed a mouthful of big white teeth, and his expression was extremely joyful. During this time, he could feel how much he had grown not only in terms of strength and speed, but also in his inner blood flow, internal organs, etc., and he felt much clearer.

From the external physique, train to the internal organs that should be fragile.

"That's right, your cultivation during this time has exceeded my expectations." Ruthlessly, dressed in white, put away the pen and paper in his hand, and said lightly, "Not only during this time, but also when exercising in the future, don't wear those weights." These weights can help some of the strength in the short term, but they are not beneficial to real practice. ”

"Yes, thank you, Naruto, I feel like I've been reborn all this time." Xiao Li nodded and said very movingly.

During this time, there were more people who recognized him, but it made Xiao Li work harder. After the weights are removed, the difficulty is much higher according to the exercise method that has been ruthlessly deduced, and every movement consumes a lot of energy.

But correspondingly, these efforts have yielded corresponding results. Even Xiao Li faintly felt that if the power of restraint in the past exploded in the official competition, his body could withstand further strength improvement.

The skill of the Eight Gate Dunjia is that the stronger the physique, the stronger the power that can explode, and the more doors can be opened. If Luffy is allowed to get this skill, he can use the Eight Gates Dunjia as a normal skill, after all, the pirates' strong blood bar is higher than the other, and there is no situation where a dagger can stab him to death.

"I'm not Naruto······ Forget it, it's good if you're happy. After thinking about it, he ruthlessly gave up correcting Xiao Li's statement, and just maintained a gentle expression and said, "The main achievement you have been able to reach this point lies in your own efforts." Your efforts can prove how far you can go with simple physical arts, so keep it up! ”

"Well, my blood is still boiling." Xiao Li clenched his fists, and when he left, his whole person's spirit was different.

Looking at his back, the expression on Ruthless's face returned to calm: "Is this the person you care about?" Ontology, the fluctuations of emotions, can really break some of the limitations in some way. ”

"However, this is a good data body, an ordinary person template without blood inheritance boundaries, and the reference value is very high."

The last words disappeared with the wind, and the ruthlessness dissipated into a puff of smoke.

······

In Konoha Hospital, Ning Ci's patient was discharged from the hospital some time ago, leaving Ning Ci alone to slowly recuperate. This is something he didn't expect, Sasuke looked as miserable as him when he brought him in, but within two days Sasuke was alive and kicking, and then directly applied for discharge.

Thinking about Sasuke's food during his hospitalization, Ning Ji was a little suspicious that the more food he ate, the better it would be for his injuries to improve. Just thinking that he didn't belong to the Qiu Dao clan, Ning Ci temporarily gave up the idea of practice.

Shikamaru came to visit Ningci's injury every day as scheduled, and on this day, seeing that Ningji was already in a wheelchair, he immediately asked, "How is it?" Are you feeling better now? ”

Ning Ci transported the transportation capacity before replying: "Although I still can't move for the time being, simple actions are no longer hindered." ”

"It took a month to get back to this point?" Shikamaru secretly spoke, thinking of Hinata's soft and weak appearance on weekdays, and couldn't help but be glad that he had eyesight and never provoked.

"She's already merciful." Ning Ci shook his head, he has now reconciled with Hinata, he can understand the situation at that time, and it can be regarded as mercy for his subordinates if he is not killed. After all, the last palm broke through the limit of the strength of the Hyuga clan, and at this age, it was already at the level of extraordinary.

He didn't lose unjustly.

Before Shikamaru could say anything, Ning Ci spoke: "When the official competition comes, I want to go and see it." ”

"In your current state, I'm afraid you can't see it." Shikamaru said, pondering the wording for a moment, and explained, "Recently, because some powerful ninjas have emerged in the village one after another, which has attracted the attention of the outer villages, so this time the official competition of the middle ninja exam will have many more people than before. ”

When he said this, Shikamaru had some worry in his eyes.

The people of the Nara family can basically see that Konoha is in a weak state now, and most of the strong are consumed in internal fighting. Among the new generation of geniuses, if it weren't for the seventh class and a few others who didn't know when they reached the level of extraordinary, I am afraid that their confidence would be even less than before.

I can only hope that in this official match, Sasuke and the others can intimidate the population of other villages!

Removing the worry in his eyes, Shikamaru just explained the situation, and didn't say much about the rest.

"Don't have a place? Unfortunately, the injury is still a little bad. Ning Ci sighed lightly, and looked at the wall with a pair of white eyes, as if he could penetrate the barriers and see the expected scene.

······

As Shikamaru said, this time the official competition of the Zhongnin exam is indeed much more lively than in previous years.

In particular, Konoha also seems to have a new perfect nine-tailed human pillar power, which makes the other ninja villages jealous of this. Perfect human pillar power, that is the existence of the starting shadow level, and with the huge chakra amount of the nine tails, the tailed beast jade is used as a general attack on the battlefield, and the shadow level does not dare to resist.

As for the shadow level, let alone hard resistance, it is difficult to dodge. Not every ninja is the number one god in the ninja world, as long as he dodges fast enough, the tailed beast jade can't hit him.

Either jealous or confused, on this day, there was a large flow of people to Konoha, and the two Konoha door gods were a little unsightly.

"Is this Konoha? How is it much richer than the legend. "When some ninjas came to Konoha, the first thing that surprised them was what Konoha was like.

The various plans proposed by Konoha Comics Co., Ltd. are not just plans, and everything that is allowed by policy is basically invested in construction. With some simple scientific ninja equipment provided by Naruto, Konoha is changing with each passing day, and all the basic industries that the company is involved in are developing rapidly.

In fact, these are just laying the foundation, first intervening in the infrastructure, laying a good foundation, and then carrying out the five-year plan, entering the era of great development of running.

Rao is so, and now Konoha's economy has also surprised the ninjas of other ninja villages too much.

"I thought Konoha was just a few more geniuses, but now she looks so rich. Those renovated pavements, and those houses. ”

"It must be because Konoha occupies the richest place, there is so much money, how high should Konoha's military strength be in a few years."

"Silence, don't say it again, this is someone else's territory." After the ninja who said silence after the warning, he swept through Konoha Hidden Village when he entered the village, and he was also a little jealous.

It is the feeling that everyone is obviously a backward small-scale peasant economic system, and suddenly it is found that the opponent has not only developed economically, but also has the feeling that capitalism has sprouted.

The three generations smoked cigarette pouches, stood on the high-rise building at the entrance of the village in a low-key manner, looked down at the endless flow of people below, smoked cigarettes, and their eyes were a little complicated.

During this time, Sakura, who has always been inconspicuous, began to increase her movements, bringing rapid changes to Konoha. Every application seems to carry a passion for Konoha.

He should have been happy when he knew the strength of the seventh class, and the stronger the vitality of the newborn Konoha was, the more it showed that the burning of the fallen leaves was endless.

It's just that the years are not forgiving, and he is too old now.

Chakra is not an internal force, there is no saying that the older he gets, the more perverted he is, after the peak period, all the data of his body have dropped a lot. The experience accumulated when he was young, and the more proficient ninjutsu he became, the level that this old body could play at a lower and lower level.

However, it is not possible to find a suitable candidate to take over.

A few days ago, Jiraiya suddenly found him again and told him that he would stay in Konoha after that because he saw hope. It's just that after continuing to persuade, the three generations found that although Jiraiya was willing to stay, he was still unwilling to be the Hokage.

As for his unsuccessful son······

Thinking of that son's thoughts, the third generation spat out the smoke ring, only to feel that his mind was a little out of place with Konoha, which had become more and more vigorous recently.

But at this moment, the most belated daimyo and nobles were carried over in a palanquin. Just like the system of hundreds of years in the past, only when people carry a large sedan chair eight times, tired and panting, can their nobility be reflected.

There is no shortage of people with intelligence in the ninja world, what they lack is only the power of chakra, the powerful forbidden arts, and the monopoly of those blood inheritance boundaries. In particular, the boundary of blood inheritance seems to be clearly telling the world that life is not equal.

Rao is like this, there are too many talents in the ninja world. Not only in terms of strength, but in other aspects. According to the direction of ninja research, most of the technology developed in this distorted transcendent world is basically impossible for ninjas to come up with.

Even Orochimaru, who is closest to the second generation of ninjas, uses technology only to better study forbidden arts, in order to break the restrictions of fragile life and obtain eternal life.

So far, the progress of Naruto's scientific research has been accelerated, also because he has a corresponding foundation, but it is not popular. In fact, as long as you spend money, this somewhat crooked technology tree can be pointed out in many things.

Without a foundation, Konoha can't develop that fast.

It's just that the daimyo and nobles will not be willing to accept those new things, and only by making people sweat profusely and carrying them in can they show their status.

At this moment, looking at those scenes, the three generations remembered the preparation proposal that was rejected by themselves a few days ago.

"It's true that peace in the ninja world has been rare for too long, and Konoha can't withstand another war." Sighing softly, the third generation thought, "Although Sakura's heart is for Konoha, she is still a child, a child, and she doesn't understand the cruelty of war. Really fighting, where is there any development, Konoha has come over for so many years, and Huairou's means are indispensable. ”

But as he said this, he thought of his old friend, who was getting more and more gloomy.

At the same moment, in the dark place dedicated to the Konoha Pot King, he complemented the gloomy him, and there seemed to be no sense of disobedience. The bandaged Tuanzang has the same injuries that Konoha once suffered, but his temperament has long been hidden by the darkness.

He is more like the darkness behind the light than the root buried in the darkness. When a person is immersed in darkness for a long time, it is difficult to get in touch with the light again.

"That guy is going to restrict me again?" Some hoarse and dry voices came out, making the masked shadows in front of him feel a little uncomfortable.

"Lord Tuanzang, three generations of adults are protecting you." Resisting the discomfort, the dark man reluctantly spoke, and his voice did not rise or fall in a bit.

"Protection?" Pot King······ Ahem, there was a hint of anger in Danzang's voice, "He's always been so weak, at the beginning, and now. If he had followed my suggestion, I would have been able to cultivate the best weapon for Konoha by now. ”

"He shouldn't have stopped me when the change happened six years ago."

The remaining exposed ordinary eyes looked a little gloomy in the darkness, and by now, he had long since drifted away from his original self: "I will let him know who is the most suitable person for that position." ”

"Lord Danzang, please don't be impulsive."

Hmph, it's just angry talk. What does the old man have to do with the sun, can't he say something? Tuan Zang said unceremoniously, with anger in his words, "And the roots have been disbanded by him, what can the old man do alone?" ”

The shadows slowly faded into the darkness in silence, without refuting anything. To be honest, in terms of Tuanzang's status, as long as the three generations do not fall for a day, it is really difficult for him to have an accident. As long as it's not really a big deal, it's impossible for the three generations to deal with him. As for what is really important, it depends on everyone's understanding, and everyone's understanding is different.

Calming down his anger, Danzang's remaining eye looked a little cold in the darkness.

As long as the position of the Hokage is done by him, then Konoha will definitely be able to rejuvenate. The roots buried under the earth also have dreams of appearing in the sun, and they don't want all the sunlight to fall on the leaves.
