Chapter 185: The Game Begins
On August 7, the last part of the Zhongnin selection exam officially began.
The nobles of various countries had already arrived at Konoha in luxurious ox carts, and a sedan chair was parked in front of the embassy dedicated to receiving the nobles, and even the oxen tied to the side were ceremoniously dressed.
The oxen pulling the cart were the youngest and strongest, with clean fur that was almost reflective, and the horns on their heads were as bright as jade porcelain. They are draped in delicately made red cloth, and the huge white knots wrapped around them are also very expensive to look at, and they are made of small strands of woven rope.
"How can this cow live better than a human?" Naruto, who had come here by Konohamaru, marveled at a herd of cows.
"No, no, no! What am I doing! Now is not the time to think about that! He slapped his face hard and turned around and said, "Ahhhhhhh So where the hell is this! It's really going to be late!! ”
When he turned around, all the cows looked at the red swirl pattern on his back, and the originally peaceful eyes gradually turned red, and many cows lying on the ground stood up directly.
They stared intently at the red vortex, their front hooves beginning to gouge into the ground, and their huge nostrils spewing hot white gas.
Naruto who heard that the voice was not quite right and turned around: "......"
“???”
"Why is that!? Help, ahh
-------------------------------------
Inside the huge open-air circular venue.
Kusuo Uchiha sat with his friends who did not make it to the finals this time.
"There are so many people......
Several children were amazed by the scene, and from the moment they entered, they kept turning their heads to look curiously.
The venue is divided into three parts, the largest of which is naturally the circular arena below, followed by the spectator seats above, and finally the waiting seats prepared by the tall fence with a cut in the middle.
The tall walls are green, the auditoriums are white, and the roof is made of the majestic red tile.
The auditorium is also divided into three parts, the middle part has two floors, the lower one is the audience seats of Konoha, and the upper one is the seats of the Shadow and Daimyo.
Kusuo Uchiha and Nara Shikabi, Sakura, Ino, Dingji, and Ya are sitting in the middle of the lower floor, which is the perfect first row position.
To their left are people from other places who have come to watch the game, dressed in a variety of ways, both ordinary people and ninjas, and it is very lively.
To their right are the nobles and ninja leaders of various countries, and although their costumes are equally varied, they are all the same luxurious and quiet.
"By the way, have you seen it?" Ino blocked one in her mouth, and pointed to it, even if she lowered her voice, she couldn't hide her excitement, her eyes were shining, and she said, "Above, there is a princess!" And also a super beautiful princess! The prettiest person I've ever met! ”
"Really?" Sakura was stunned for a moment, and said suspiciously, "Is it that exaggerated?" ”
The relationship between the two of them has been much better since that war, and when she heard that Ino pulled her, she ran to the side: "I'll take you to see it!" It is said that Her Royal Highness is the princess of our Fire Country! And it's the same pink hair as you! ”
"Really?!" Sakura immediately happily ran over with her to take a look.
"What's so nice about the princess......" Ding Ji, who was next to Uchiha Kusuo, was eating potato chips, and when he saw Uchiha Kusuo looking at him, he reluctantly stretched out the bag of potato chips and said, "Do you want to eat it?" ”
[No, thank you.] Kusuo Uchiha refused.
"What about deer cakes? Do you want to eat it? Ding Ji asked Uchiha Kusuo, who was also looking at the Nara deer cake here.
"Huh! I...... Me? Nara Shikaki pointed at himself in shock.
"yes." Ding Ci nodded.
Nara deer cake suddenly became nervous, do you want to take it? Wouldn't it be too self-conscious? Maybe he just asked him in passing? Didn't you really mean to invite him to eat at all? After all, Ding Ci is so precious to his own food.
But don't pick it up? Isn't it too arrogant not to answer? Maybe he really invited him to eat? Does refusal make him feel sad? Feeling embarrassed? Think I look down on him?
Kusuo Uchiha: [......]
[He hasn't been discharged from the hospital, he's not completely well, and the doctor says he can't eat these.] Uchiha Kusuo interrupted his mind storm and decided for him.
"yes, I forgot, hehe, I'm sorry, I've met in the hospital before, but you're not okay yet? I'm all right, and I can even go and eat a barbecue! Ding Ci withdrew the snack and touched the back of his head and smiled.
"And then you idiot went to the hospital again for eating too much barbecue! I'm embarrassed to say! Ino turned around and punched him.
Ding Ci hugged his head and wanted to cry: "Because ...... Because I haven't eaten barbecue for too long, I'm going crazy after staying in the hospital for so long, and it's still Teacher Asma's treat, so I can't control it if I don't care......"
"You still dare to say that Teacher Asma was almost scolded to death by the doctor because of this!" Ino hated the way he held his head.
Kusuo Uchiha: [......]
He had the illusion that there was no normal person around him at all.
"Anyway, why haven't Sasuke and Naruto come yet? What the hell are those two guys doing? Really, Sasuke doesn't care, if Naruto loses the game because he's late, I won't spare him! Tooth said angrily as he leaned on the iron railing, and Akamaru, who was lying on his lap, screamed as well.
Kusuo Uchiha: [......]
It's not that I'm lost, after all, Naruto jumps up and down, and Konoha is too familiar with him, just a little unlucky.
"Hey, Kusuo, what's going on with those two guys? You should know something, right? Tooth turned to ask Kusuo Uchiha.
Kusuo Uchiha shook his head: [I don't know.] ]
Don't ask me, it's too complicated to explain.
"Don't you even know?" Tian Tian, who had been eavesdropping in the back, sighed, "It's a pity if he is eliminated like this, I want to see him fight more......"
"Who?" Xiao Li next to him asked.
"Who else could it be! Of course, it's the handsome Sasuke-kun! He said with his face in his hand every day.
"Ahh Do you like Sasuke too? After watching the princess's Ino and Sakura's return, they immediately glared at Tian Tian.
The three girls quarreled around questions such as "who really likes Sasuke" and "who Sasuke likes the most", but gradually, in the end, they excitedly discussed "which aspect of Sasuke do you think is the most handsome".
Kusuo Uchiha: [......]
Seeing that the time was coming, all the contestants and referees had already gathered in the arena below, and the two people who were very concerned about it still hadn't arrived, the three big names on the head of Uchiha Kusuo couldn't help but discuss.
"Hasn't Sasuke Uchiha come yet? Did something happen? Orochimaru, dressed in the skin of the Wind Shadow, asked a little anxiously.
