297. Qualifiers
"Hah...... Hahahaha......"
At this moment, Onoki's unbridled laughter resounded in the monitoring room, and the louder his laughter was, the more ugly the faces of the three generations of Thunder Shadow became.
"Your Excellency Thunder Shadow, thank you so much, you are good people, good people, hahaha......"
Onoki looks like a villain, and at the same time, he doesn't forget to give Lei Ying a good guy card.
"Humph! Ohnoki, don't be too happy, your people are seriously injured right now, and if you run into another team at this time, hum. ”
The three generations of Thunder Shadow snorted coldly, "And don't forget, the scrolls on their bodies have been snatched away, and this exam, they are afraid that it will be difficult." ”
"Tsk, dignified Yanyin, I couldn't even pass the second exam, it's a shame."
At this moment, the three generations of Thunder Shadow directly turned on the cynicism mode, saying that Yan Yin was worthless.
On the other side, Onoki's smile instantly froze on his face, and he performed a "smile disappearing technique" in front of everyone.
The others present grinned and were amused.
Onoki and the three generations of Thunder Shadow are now like a pair of enemies, and they don't say a few words to each other as if they are uncomfortable.
In this case, no one stood up and said anything, anyway, just watch it.
······
Time flies.
In the blink of an eye, the next day came.
Last night, a few more teams were eliminated, and now there are less than twenty squads left in the Forest of Death, and this is only the next day.
Among them, including three Konoha squads, they were also eliminated, and there are currently only nine left, with a total of twenty-six people.
On average, there is one left in the other villages, but Yunyin and Wuyin, and they currently have two teams left.
Iwakuin's luck was good, he didn't encounter anyone else last night, otherwise with their state, not to mention being slaughtered by others, there was not much room to fight back.
In addition, looking at their appearance, they will not be able to heal at all in a few days.
There were still four days left before the end of the exam, which meant that not only did they have to heal their injuries in four days, but they also had to find a way to collect the scrolls and rush to the central tower.
It's really a tight schedule, a heavy task, and they are likely to be eliminated in the second round.
Thinking of this, several people on the mountain glanced at each other and showed wry smiles.
"I'm sorry, it's all my fault." The mountain bowed his head and took the initiative to take the mistake.
In fact, it was indeed his fault, and if it weren't for his insistence on taking Monca with him, they wouldn't have been caught up at all, and they wouldn't be in trouble now.
Yuu Jing shook his head and said while treating them: "I don't blame you, Yamagami, we didn't take this situation into account, if you want to say that there is a mistake, we are all at fault, you don't have to feel guilty, we don't blame you." ”
Shouki put his hand on the mountain's shoulder and didn't say anything, but the latter understood exactly what he meant.
However, this attitude only made the mountain even more self-reproachful.
······
The other side.
"Mute, how far are we from the Central Tower?"
Uchiha Hideki looked at Hinata Shizune, since yesterday, they had been on the road for a day, and most of them were left behind.
Hinata mute stopped, observed for a while, and replied, "It should be almost there." ”
"In that case, are we waiting for anyone else?"
Hinata Shizune thought for a moment and shook her head, "Don't wait, let's go first." ”
"Okay then."
After a brief exchange between the two, they continued to run deeper into the forest, and at their pace, they would most likely be the first team to reach the tower.
In the monitoring room, everyone looked at this scene, except for Konoha, the faces of the people in the other villages were not particularly good-looking, and they were going to lose.
"I said, Your Excellency Yanmen, you shouldn't have secretly informed them, right?"
As soon as Yanmen saw it, Onoki seemed to be looking for trouble again.
"Ohnogi, did I secretly inform you, can't you see it? It's not that there is no surveillance, if you don't use it, throw it away as soon as possible. ”
Yanmen unceremoniously slammed back.
"Who knows what you used to hide the surveillance." Onoki whispered.
Yanmen didn't bother to talk to him, and the others didn't speak, so you had the most to do.
······
It was afternoon.
Shuichi Uchiha and Hinata Shizune were really the first to arrive at the tower, and after Yanmen settled them, he returned to the monitoring room and looked at everyone with a smile on his face.
"Guys, I'm so sorry, it looks like we won."
At this moment, the others were silent, and secretly said in their hearts, it's a pity.
It's a pity, they had already figured out what questions to ask, but they didn't win.
Seeing that everyone didn't speak, Yanmen didn't say much, and sat back in his seat silently.
Time passed, and as time passed, other teams arrived at the tower one after another, and on the fourth day, ten teams had already arrived, and there were only a few teams left in the forest.
The rest of the teams, some of them were robbed of the scrolls, some of them didn't collect the scrolls, and some of them had already collected them and were on their way.
"There's quite a lot of people left, and it looks like we need to add a qualifier and try to keep 10 or 12 people under that."
Yanmen looked around and said, "Everyone, what do you think? ”
"Whatever, the qualifiers are the qualifiers, and it doesn't affect Ai anyway." The three generations of Lei Ying clasped their hands and said confidently.
As he spoke, he didn't forget to glance at Onoki, "It's a pity, someone didn't even pass the second round, it's a shame, you say yes, Ohnogi." ”
Yes, the only team in Iwakure was really eliminated, and they still hadn't grabbed the reel, and there was less than a day left before the end of the game.
If nothing else, they should be out of play, so the three generations of Thunder Shadow are here to ridicule Onoki.
Onoki's face was very ugly, and his whole body exuded an aura of being unapproachable, as if everyone present owed him millions.
】
"Your Excellency Lei Ying, don't be too happy, the exam is not over yet!" Ohnogi's dead duck beak is hard.
"Huh." The three generations of Lei Ying sneered, too lazy to argue with Onoki, facts speak louder than words, tomorrow you will wait to be slapped in the face!
Another day passed, and the Iwakuin team finally arrived at the tower, but they didn't have scrolls on them, which meant that they were eliminated.
A few people on the mountain came behind Onoki, bowed their heads, cowered, and didn't dare to look at him.
"Humph!"
Onoki snorted coldly, thus expressing his dissatisfaction.
There were so many people present, he didn't bother to reprimand anything, everything would be said later, and now he couldn't let people see jokes.
Onoki turned his head and didn't look at the smug look of the three generations of Thunder Shadow, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to help but do it.
Damn Thunder Shadow, you wait for me, this time I'll make you arrogant!
"Tut-tut, pitiful." The three generations of Thunder Shadow obviously didn't intend to let go of Onogi, and they came up with a yin and yang strange qi.
"Ai, do you have any extra scrolls on you? Don't hurry up and give Tsuchikage a copy, hahaha. ”
"Get out! We don't need your charity! Onoki said angrily.
The third generation of Lei Ying smiled and said: "Don't be angry, I'm just joking, and I don't really want to give it to you, it really is." ”
Onoki: "......"
The old man knew that he was not so kind, but fortunately I didn't agree!
Otherwise, he will play tricks!
Onoki was extremely angry in his heart, looking at the playful expressions of the three generations of Lei Ying, he couldn't wait to give him a shot on the spot.
"Don't quarrel anymore, now that all the contestants have arrived, let's move to the hall."
"Determine the list of finals early, take a day off tomorrow, and start the finals directly the day after tomorrow."
Yanmen stood up and looked at everyone.
Tsunade nodded, "Let's go." ”
Bang la blah.
The next moment, a group of people came to the outside hall from the monitoring room, and they stood on the second floor, looking condescendingly at the contestants below.
Yanmen nodded to Tsunade, then jumped down from the second floor, landed in front of everyone, and said, "Congratulations on passing the second round. ”
The faces of the crowd were delighted.
Immediately after that, Yanmen's words changed, "But you don't have to be happy too early, because there are too many of you, so we discussed it and decided to hold a qualifier, and only half of these people you present can advance to the finals." ”
"What? And one more qualifier? Some of the teams that were lucky enough to pass the second round looked at Yanmen in disbelief and asked.
"I've finally come here, and I still have to eliminate half of the people!"
The crowd kept exclaiming, and the hall suddenly became extremely noisy, like a vegetable market.
"Quiet!"
Yanmen shouted, and a powerful momentum was released, shocking everyone.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I am informing you now, not asking for your opinions, if you are dissatisfied, or for other reasons, you can withdraw from this exam."
Yanmen looked around and said in a deep voice: "Now, give you three minutes to think about it, and the qualifiers will officially start in three minutes!" ”
After speaking, Yanmen jumped lightly and returned to the second floor.
Below, everyone exploded and the discussion continued, some people were ready to quit, some people were still entangled, and some were determined and confident in themselves.
It's just a qualifier, isn't it a good match?
Shuichi Uchiha and Shizune Hinata glanced at each other, then looked at the other contestants to observe.
"Shuichi, are you sure?"
"Of course! Unless I run into the two of them, I'm confident in the others. ”
As he spoke, Shuichi Uchiha's eyes were always on Mizuto and Ai.
Hinata Shizune also nodded in agreement: "Yes, the two of them are not at the same level as us." ”
"But have you forgotten me? What if we run into each other? Hinata said with a silent smile.
Uchiha Shuichi was stunned for a moment, "We? Impossible, right? ”
Hinata Shizune shook her head and said, "If you draw lots, anything is possible." ”
Uchiha Shuichi smiled bitterly: "If you really want to be so unlucky, then I will admit defeat directly." ”
It stands to reason that the strength of the two should be between the two of them, but Shuichi Uchiha didn't want to do it with Hinata Shizun, not because of anything else, but since Hinata Shizun combined the soft fist and the chakra scalpel, the lethality has skyrocketed.
Not to mention whether he can defeat Hinata Shizune, even if he wins by luck in the end, then he will probably have to go to the hospital and lie down for a few days.
Cut off your meridians and attack your internal organs directly, this is no joke, just look at the sand shinobi who was seriously injured by Hinata Shizun a few days ago, he is still lying on the ground, and he is no longer able to play in this qualifier.
Hinata Shizune pulled the hair that naturally fell from her ears, looked at Shuichi Uchiha, and smiled brightly: "Are you sure?" ”
Uchiha Xiu spread his hands and said helplessly: "Sure." ”
"Are you willing?"
"I'm not reconciled, but so what, I don't want to go to the hospital and lie down for a few days."
"It won't be that long, right? Let the captain treat you, and you should be fine in a day or two. ”
As soon as Uchiha Shu thought of his experience some time ago, he quickly shook his head, "Don't say goodbye, I'd better admit defeat." ”
"Hee-hee."
Hinata Shizune smiled and didn't speak again.
······
In the blink of an eye, three minutes passed quickly.
"Okay, the time is up, is anyone going to quit?" Yanmen looked at everyone and asked.
"I'm quitting."
"I'm quitting too."
As soon as Yanmen's words fell, several people chose to quit, most of them were average in strength, or they were not lightly injured, so they had no choice but to quit.
After a while, only twenty-four of the thirty-six players on the field remained, and twelve of them were withdrawn.
Of the remaining twenty-four people, half of them were eliminated, and there were just twelve left.
In this way, only six matches need to be scheduled for the final, and it should be over in one morning.
"Is anyone else going to quit?" Yanmen asked again.
After waiting for a while, seeing that no one spoke, Yanmen nodded, "Okay, then let's start." ”
"Guys, look at the big screen."
The screen hanging on the second floor suddenly lit up, and then the names and avatars of the twenty-four contestants appeared on it, and as the screen scrolled, the names of the twenty-four people were scrambled, and then the two were combined in pairs.
The grouping was completed in the blink of an eye.
"The grouping has been completed, now please ask the members of the first group to stay, and the others will go up to the second floor to watch the battle."
Wow!
The next moment, the others ran up to the second floor one after another, and only Yanmon, Shuichi Uchiha, and a misty shinobi were left in the hall on the first floor.
Looking at the misty shinobi opposite, Uchiha Shuichi's eyes lit up, and it seemed that his luck was not bad.
When he was grouped just now, he was really worried that he would match Hinata Mute, to be honest, he would rather run into Mizumon or Ai than face Hinata Mute.
Some time ago, they practiced together and fought each other, and he and Hinata Shizune had their own wins and losses, but whether they won or lost, he wouldn't feel good.
But don't worry now, the opponent he's matched with is Kirist Shinobi.
"How's it going, are you ready?"
Yanmen stood in the middle, looking at the two of them.
Uchiha Shuichi made an OK gesture, and Kiri Shinobu nodded, and seeing this, Yanmen directly announced: "The game begins!" ”
After saying that, his body jumped up, quickly broke away from the hall on the first floor, and his figure flickered, appeared on the second floor, and stepped on a railing.
Below, Shuichi Uchiha and the misty shinobi stepped back at the first moment, widening the distance between each other.
"Fire Escape: Hao Fireball Technique!"
"Water Escape: Fog Concealment Technique!"
The moment the two of them opened the distance, their hands quickly sealed, and they used their signature ninjutsu one after another.
······

It's a sheep, it's so uncomfortable......
