273, Zhongnin Examination

Marisa is eight years old this year, and less than three years after entering school, she broke into the nickname "Big Sister Iron Fist" in the ninja school.

No one would measure her by common sense, after all, her father was the Hokage of the Sixth Dynasty. As that man's daughter, Marissa was born destined to be a one-in-a-million genius.

Again.

No matter who it is, as long as they see Marisa's height of more than 1.8 meters and strong physique, as well as that pair of huge fists, they will subconsciously forget that she is only eight years old.

In this way, it seems that it is not so embarrassing to call "big sister".

Let's go back to the middle ninja exam this time.

As the most grand event in the past ten years, Konoha invited the four major ninja villages in the ninja world and many small ninja villages to participate, with a total of more than 1,000 applicants, and was hailed as "an unprecedented event".

Many speculate.

Konoha made it so grand in order to set up a stage for Marisa, the daughter of the sixth generation, so that she would be famous in the ninja world at a young age.

But.

No one wants to play a supporting role for an eight-year-old girl, to be a green leaf that sets off the red flowers.

Especially the arrogant ninjas.

The middle ninja exam requires that the contestant must be a lower ninja, but there is no limit to the age of the contestant, no matter how old you are, even if half a foot is about to enter the ground, as long as it is a lower ninja, you can participate.

This gives other ninja villages room to operate.

In every ninja village, there are often some people who have been stuck in the lower ninja for various reasons and have not been able to complete the promotion, but in fact, they are deeply hidden.

These so-called "Ten Thousand Years of Shinobi" were all mobilized this time, and they came to Konoha with great ambition and prepared to compete.

Ultimately.

The essence of the Zhongnin exam has always been an important occasion for the major ninja villages to show their national strength, and no one wants to lose.

As a permanent neutral village in the ninja world and the organizer of this exam, Konoha promises to provide a platform for fair competition and never take sides.

In this way, the contestants of the major ninja villages can let go of their hands and feet and compete with their strength.

Have a good time.

Based on these reasons, the four major ninja villages all showed twelve points of importance to this middle ninja exam, and each sent the strongest lower ninja lineup, vowing to win the championship in one fell swoop.

Tourists from various countries, including daimyos, officials, and aristocrats, also came to Konoha to engage in various diplomatic activities under the pretext of observing the games.

At present, the permanent population of Konoha has reached three million.

With the arrival of the middle ninja exam, in just half a month, hundreds of thousands of tourists from all over the ninja world have poured into Konoha one after another, which has greatly stimulated Konoha's tourism and promoted economic development.

This year's Zhongninja exam is destined to be an unprecedentedly lively one, and it will even draw a strong stroke in the history of the ninja world.

The only pity is that the sky is not beautiful.

It's only three days before the start of the main competition of the middle ninja exam.

And early this morning, the villagers of Konoha woke up to find that the sky over the village had been covered with dark clouds overnight, obscuring the sun.

Thundered.

With the muffled sound of spring thunder, the rain fell from the sky, connecting and forming a net, covering every corner of Konoha and beyond.

Fortunately.

This spring rain is not heavy, and it is okay not to use an umbrella. The raindrops falling on the faces and bodies of pedestrians make people feel sober and moist, which is quite fun.

Under the rain curtain, Konoha Village is like a translucent light veil, skyscrapers, pedestrian streets, trees and flowers, everything is shrouded in a hazy beauty.

In this spring rain, the participating teams from the major ninja villages also arrived in Konoha one after another.

The procession of Iwain Village marched through Konoha Street, numbering more than two hundred people.

At the front of the team, sitting in a sedan chair was the third generation of Tsuchikage Onoki, who personally led the team, showing the importance he attached to this exam.

Walking on both sides of the sedan chair as Onogi's guards, they were a long-legged girl with short black hair and a red cheongsam, and a big fat man with a two-meter-tall nose and a simple face.

Black soil and terracotta.

Both are disciples of Onoki, eighteen or nineteen years old and both Iwakure Kamishinobi, of which Kuroto is also Onokiki's granddaughter.

They all went to Konoha to study, and after passing the exam and being promoted to Kamishinobi three years ago, they resolutely returned to Iwakuin Village to build their hometown.

But.

Whether it is Onogi, black soil, or terracotta, it is not the protagonist of Iwakure this time.

Swish.

Onoki opened the curtains of the sedan chair, looked left and right, and suddenly frowned, and said in surprise:

"Where's that guy Deidara, he's gone again?"

Hearing this, Hei Tu snorted coldly, clasped his hands to his chest and said, "I said a long time ago that Deidara is not reliable at all. Don't expect him to win glory for Yanyin Village, that guy didn't poke out any big baskets, we're going to burn high incense. ”

Terracotta asked Onoki with some concern:

"Tsuchikage-sama, do you want me to look for it, Deidara just said that he has a stomachache and needs to go to the bathroom. It's over there. ”

After speaking, point to an alley not far away, where the sign of a public toilet is posted.

Without waiting for Onoki to respond, Black Soil rolled his eyes helplessly and reprimanded the honest terracotta:

"Stupid brother, you were deceived by that guy, don't you understand? He had a stomachache and didn't know where he had slipped away. ”

As soon as the words fell.

"Yo, my sister said bad things about me behind my back again, and I caught me red-handed."

A slightly flirtatious voice came from behind the black earth.

It was a young ninja with long blond hair and braided hair, long bangs covering one side of his eye, revealing only his turquoise right eye.

Deidara, like Black Earth and Terracotta, is also a disciple of Onoki.

And it's the most talented one.,Once a unique genius boy in Rock Hidden Village.。

Unfortunately, geniuses often have some faults, or character flaws, and sometimes there is only a thin line between them and a madman.

Deidara is such a weird genius.

He doesn't consider himself a ninja, but an artist with an uncanny attachment to his art.

The so-called art is actually very simple, with only two words:

Explode.

Since she was a child, Deidara has loved making clay bombs, watching them explode and unleash brilliant fireworks, and is fascinated by the fleeting beauty.

A fragile but passionate beauty.

As a natural explosion freak, when he was only nine years old, he was forced to leave the village and live alone because he often caused explosions, causing panic and panic in Yanyin Village.

As a teenager, Deidara, in order to prove his art to the world, took on many terrorist attack missions and created one fireworks show after another.

His original life trajectory was about joining a terrorist organization, becoming a criminal wanted by the major ninja villages, and finally either dying under the ninja knife of the bounty hunter, or accidentally being blown up by the bomb he made and his bones were gone.

Until the outbreak of the Fourth Ninja World War, the various forces in the ninja world reshuffled and changed everything.

Including the fate of Deidara.

He once took over the commission of Shayin Village, and when he attacked the Iwain troops alone, he accidentally missed his hand and was caught red-handed.

Subsequently, Deidara was sent back to Iwakuin Village, and under the personal orders of Onoki, he was imprisoned for reflection.

A reflection is several years.

Although he has eaten prison and does not have to worry about going hungry, as an artist, Deidara's "talent" has become nowhere to show.

Now, the opportunity has finally arrived.

This time, Onoki asked Deidara's personal freedom on the condition that the latter fight for Iwakuin Village and win the championship of the middle ninja exam.

Deidara was a shinobu when he left the village at the age of nine, and after being pardoned by Onoki, although he was a little older, he was fully eligible to participate.

At this time.

He had a lollipop in his mouth, his hands behind his head, and he looked like a hanger, which made Hei Tu more and more uncomfortable.

"Deidara, the game is about to start, but you're not prepared at all, giggling all day. Don't forget, the prerequisite for you to regain your freedom is that you must win the first place in the middle ninja exam! ”

Hei Tu crossed his waist with one hand and pointed at Deidara with the other, and said coldly.

"It's noisy."

Deidara looked impatient, and said nonchalantly, "Senior sister, you underestimate me too much, I can win the championship with one hand." Just keep your eyes open and watch me perform, I want the whole ninja world to see my art and make them stunned! ”

In the past few years, Deidara, who has been locked up in prison, has not wasted his skills.

On the contrary, with the help of the prison environment, he completely calmed down his impetuous heart in the past and perfected his art, that is, "enlightenment".

Now that he already has the strength of the elite upper ninja level, he is not just taking the middle ninja exam.

Onoki saw Deidara's arrogance and self-righteousness.

"Deidara!"

He let out a deep sigh and warned the disciple who loved and hated, "This is Konoha, pay attention to me!" From now on, you are not allowed to leave my line of sight, let alone use chakra, and if something happens, even I, the third-generation Tsuchikage, will not be able to protect you. ”

Deidara, a terrorist, if he dares to make an explosion in Konoha, those Uchiha guys won't get used to him.

At that time, Onoki may have to take Deidara's ashes back to the rock.

"I'm annoyed, old man."

Deidara covered her ears with her hands, not wanting to listen to Onoki's nagging.

Alas.

Onoki sighed, and immediately ordered that the two of them should take care of Deidara and stay by his side.

Then, he sent the Iwakuin ninja to spy on the contestants in other ninja villages.

Although he has confidence in Deidara, no one can say for sure whether the other ninja villages have any hole cards.

Only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can we achieve the final victory.

On the day that Yanyin Village checked into the hotel, Yunyin's people also came.

It was also the fourth generation of Thunder Shadow who personally led the team, and there were many of them and menacing, and those who didn't know thought they were here to attack Konoha.

It can be seen that Yun Yin is also determined to win this Zhongnin exam.

In the midst of a group of black-skinned muscular men, the most conspicuous thing was a shirtless young man who looked bohemian.

This man, with long gray hair combed into a large back, wears a necklace with a strange shape around his neck, and the most striking thing is the weapon behind his back.

It was a huge red three-stage scythe more than a man tall, and it looked very ......

Pompous.

As a ninja, it's generally better to keep a low profile. Powerful ninjas are often inconspicuous beings in the crowd who can take people's lives when they suddenly erupt.

And this man is completely like a male peacock with flowers, who will attract everyone's attention wherever he goes.

His name is Fei Duan.

Fei Duan was originally a ninja of Tang Ninja Village, but in the Fourth Ninja World War, as Tang Ninja Village was annexed by Yun Yin, he naturally joined Yun Yin.

This is exactly what the flight section intended.

Because he was a battle maniac by nature, he had a thirst for killing in his bones, and he especially liked to see the blood of his enemies gushing out of his body.

However, Tang Ninja Village is a village full of pacifism, and wants to release goodwill to the outside world by actively reducing the number of ninjas, so as to eliminate the vigilance of the Great Ninja Village and achieve the purpose of protecting itself.

This tactic proved to be extremely stupid.

Faced with the self-defeating Tang Ninja Village, Yun Yin would not be polite, and did not hesitate to annex it, occupying the rich and rich natural resources of Tang Ninja.

Merely.

Although Fei Duan got his wish and joined the Cloud Shadow Village, where all the people are martial, he was still not welcomed.

That's because he is a cruel and bloodthirsty, arrogant and crazy person, and has no manners and respect for others.

In addition, Fei Duan also joined a mysterious cult of evil gods, often engaging in some cruel rituals to torture enemies, making people think that he was a complete perverted madman.

As expected, Fei Duan was squeezed out in Yunyin, and he was stuck in the position of the lower ninja and couldn't rise.

It wasn't until this middle ninja exam that his chance came.

As Yun Yin's 10,000-year-old ninja, although Fei Duan is not welcomed, his strength is unquestionable, especially his strange fighting style, which has even made many Yun Yin Shinobi suffer.

Therefore, the fourth generation of Thunder Shadow specially approved the flight section to participate in the competition, and promised:

As long as Fei Duan wins the championship on behalf of Yun Yin, he will be promoted to Shangnin, and Fei Duan will be allowed to spread his cult in Yun Yin in the future.

Shangnin or something, Fei Duan doesn't care at all, but-

Spreading the idea of the evil god to the world is a great undertaking that must be accomplished for a fanatical believer like him.

So he agreed without hesitation and came all the way to Konoha.

"There seems to be a lot of prey. This time, too, there will be a big fuss and blood will be spilled everywhere. ”

Fei Duan licked his lips, and couldn't wait to prepare for the ritual and sacrifice to the evil god.

As for the sacrifices.

He heard that Konoha's sixth Hokage had a genius daughter named Marisa, who was the favorite to win the championship in this Shinobi exam.

That's it.

……

In addition to the four major ninja villages of Sand Hide, Fog Hide, Rock Hide, and Cloud Hide.

The contestants of this time in the middle ninja exam, there are also some from other small ninja villages, as well as lower ninja from all over the ninja world who signed up as individuals.

For some of Konoha's enemies, it is undoubtedly a good means to blend in with the players' team in the name of participating in the competition, and enter Konoha to spy on intelligence.

For example, in the team of Takishinobi Village.

A young man with short red hair and a large yellow gourd on his back appeared, looking at the scenery of Konoha expressionlessly.

He's my Airo.
