"Strength?"

Naruto opened his mouth wide and stared blankly at the demon fox as tall as a mountain, and when he reacted, his face was a little complicated, it turned out that it was not for nothing that those villagers said that he was a nine-tailed demon fox.

"That's right, power." The Nine-Tails stood up forward, and the yellow-eyed beast eyes became even bigger, "Once life is too strong, it will cause fear among the weak, and all the suffering you have suffered since childhood is due to this, but this is not your fault, on the contrary, this should be something you should be proud of, I can lend you strength." ”

At this time, the Nine-Tails actually exuded a hint of gentleness, it was trying its best to be patient, Naruto Uzumaki's mind was not yet mature, if he could successfully deceive, freedom was just around the corner, but there may only be one chance, it must be cautious.

Naruto was silent and said after a while, "I don't need it, okra isn't that kind of bad person." ”

The Nine-Tails sneered, the smell of blood on the body of the thousand-handed clan would even surprise it when it smelled it, at least slaughtering tens of thousands of living beings would leave that level of spiritual traces, which ordinary bad people couldn't describe at all.

"Indeed, but do you think that the one who appears in front of you now must be the thousand-armed okra, his breath at this time is completely different from when he invited you to eat barbecue." Nine-Tails said.

Naruto's pupils contracted violently when he heard this.

"The thousand-handed okra has been controlled, and the mastermind behind it is to pursue your existence since half a day ago, that kid is just a pawn to test you, I can save him, but only if he is subdued, and you have to pay me." Nine-Tails spoke in a haughty tone, as if he was willing to help out of pity.

"What's the pay?" Naruto's expression tensed, if the situation was really so dangerous, he couldn't have turned a blind eye.

"Lift the seal from the fence."

When the long silence came, Naruto instinctively felt that something bad would happen if he opened the seal, although he was only twelve years old, he already had basic judgment, and he was all sealed, and the other party could be nothing good.

"As you like, I've already explained that too much of a strong life will cause fear among the weak, and I'm not wrong, and as for the thousand-armed okra, and the safety of the two of them in the event of his madness, it's okay to give up." The Nine-Tails lowered down again, and even if it didn't succeed this time, the seal wouldn't last for a few years.

Naruto struggled for a while, and finally walked towards the fence, the water surging up to lift his body closer to the seal, and as his arm lifted, the water throughout the prison began to vibrate and ripple, but at the same time the darkness was fading.

Suddenly, a hand grabbed Naruto's wrist, and someone appeared in this mental prison.

"I said, don't struggle, it's fine, you don't have to lift the table." Jiang Yuan said calmly, it is still quite difficult for him to deal with the Nine-Tails in the unsealed state now, the Flying Thunder God Technique can only ensure that he has no worries about his life, and Mu Dun still lacks the absolute power of the Thousand Hands Pillar.

A violent roar sounded, and the nine-tailed foxtail stirred wildly, and the sudden arrival of this guy made it not even test the back hand of the four generations, the abominable Thousand Hands Clan!

"Autumn ...... Okra, why are you here?"

The water broke down, Naruto hit the ground, and the Nine-Tails' roar was not much of a deterrent to his host.

Jiang Yuan didn't answer, but directly left the Flying Thunder God mark on the fence, and then turned to leave, the physical body has a semi-spiritual nature, he can enter here by touching Naruto Uzumaki's body, if he has the pupil technique that represents the spiritual power of Yin Escape, the process will be easier.

Outside, Egen took his hand away from Naruto's shoulder, a piece of flesh the size of a fingernail had been collected, and Sakura Haruno held his calf with both hands to stop the enemy from continuing to hurt his partner.

"Stop!"

Jiang Yuan kicked it out and kicked it out, Haruno Sakura didn't have the ability to explode, which meant that it lacked danger, but he didn't like physical contact, so he pushed a little harder.

The cherry blossom-haired girl passed out after breaking a dozen trees.

Sasuke was awakened by the tremendous movement, and before he could tell the difference between the illusory and the real, a sharp pain swept through his body, and someone pressed his head from behind, leaving a curse mark on his shoulder from the small snake he had gotten from Orochimaru.

The appearance of the curse seal resembles that of the three-hook jade, and according to Orochimaru's theory, the spell seal displayed by it is also a kind of immortal mode, but it cannot absorb natural energy by its own will and is difficult to control.

The mission objectives were both completed, Jiang Yuan put down a book of earth and left before Naruto's consciousness returned to the outside world, as of now, the seal imposed by the four generations of Hokage has obviously shown signs of decay, considering the situation of the nine-tails overflowing chakra, even if no one cares, the seventh class has a high probability of reaching the end of the middle ninja exam.

The area of the Death Forest is quite vast, and the central tower is a magnificent and tall building, with a number of large meeting places set up inside, which originally existed as a training ground for the dark department, and after collecting the Book of Heaven and the Book of Earth, those who successfully arrived will be counted as passing.

At the end of the second exam, the candidates will be greeted by the middle ninja and take on the function of heralds.

By the end of the five-day wilderness survival period, a total of twenty-one people had successfully arrived with two scrolls, and the team cooperation was over, and the third exam was a qualifier, which required each candidate to fight alone.

The examiner did not know the fire genma, a very young special shinobi, who used to be the personal guard of the four generations of Hokage, but after Sarutobi Hizashi was forced to end his retirement and return to the position of Hokage, he and his two other colleagues were in an awkward situation.

After the candidates entered the central tower, the food pills, herbal soup, mountain spring water and other materials were all supplied in unlimited quantities, used to recover injuries and physical fitness as soon as possible, and the qualifiers began half a day later, under the behind-the-scenes manipulation of the darkness of the ninja world, someone had a bye, and directly advanced according to the game mechanism, and the dark department reported the news upwards, and the three generations of Hokage chose to acquiesce, and it was a fairer choice to let the thousand hands okra advance directly, as for suppressing the one-tailed human pillar force in Sand Hidden Village, it naturally refers to the official match that the villagers were watching, and the qualifiers were not open to the public for venue reasons, It can't have the effect of promoting the strength of the village.

In the first match, Sasuke Uchiha faced off against Akagi, who wore glasses and a face mask, making it impossible to judge what he looked like. Although ostensibly a former student of Konoha, his real identity is a spy for Otoshinobi Village, and he is nominally Yakushidou's superior, who is dissatisfied with him after Dou gradually emerges to prominence.

This person's special ability is Chakra Absorption, which automatically absorbs the opponent's energy and causes the opponent to lose consciousness by touching others with their own hands. Although he had the upper hand in the battle with Sasuke, he was defeated by Sasuke with the physical technique Lion Bullet that he created during the battle.

The second match was Sack vs. Shino, and at the beginning of this match, someone came to the rescue room.

In the rescue room, several elite medical ninjas trained by Tsunade during the Great War are performing surgery on the red armor, and the lion's bullets have caused serious damage to his internal organs, and if he is not cured in time, the probability of death is very high.

"Outsiders stop." The medical ninja who was in charge of the command standing next to the operating table shouted.

"I'm going to take him." Jiang Yuan said indifferently, he valued the Chakra Absorption Technique very much, it was related to whether he could study the Wood Dun Ninjutsu similar to the original Hokage Wood Dragon Technique, and if he wanted to restrain the Tailed Beast, this technique was indispensable.

"The three principles of medical ninjas: First, medical ninjas must never give up treatment until the patient dies. No one can take him away at this time, not even Hokage-sama, this is Tsunade-sama's teaching. The medical ninja said with a determined face.

Jiang Yuan's arm was raised, and the movement was so fast that an afterimage appeared, and a kunai threw out, straight through the eyebrows of the red armor, and the blood was mixed with white gel splattering, and several doctors who were holding the scalpel were stunned in place, and for a moment they were not even sure if they were hallucinating.

"He's dead now."

Medical Ninja: "......"

Daring!!

"Come on!"

The first time he reacted, the medical ninja let out a roar, and the other party was simply lawless, breaking into the ward and killing the patient in the rescue, this kind of thing he couldn't think of before, but now it really happened in front of him.

Jiang Yuan ignored the shouts that gradually spread, directly unfolded the sealing scroll, and then dragged away the corpse of the red armor for storage, Tsunade was not in Konoha, the Hokage and Danzou still needed him to do things, there was no problem with acting cheaply, if there was a rollover, it would not be because he killed a shinobi whose identity was doubtful, but because he himself lost his use value, or the sudden change in the external situation caused by the ripple.

The medical ninja watched as the madman turned around and walked out of the rescue room with the scroll, this guy didn't even have the intention of running away, and went straight to the training ground, looking like he wanted to watch the qualifiers for the middle ninja exam.

This incident of a bad nature was quickly reported layer by layer, and the second qualifier was over at this moment, and Jiang Yuan was standing in the viewing corridor, surrounded by all the leading ninjas, Kakashi Hachiki, Maitkai, Sarufei Asma and others were among them.

The black shadow flashed, and two upper ninjas wearing sleeveless elite armor came to the scene, and both the dark and root departments sent personnel to question.

"Danzo-sama asked you why." The root shinobu relayed that this matter is not big, it is not small, and before the news spreads, if there is a high-level willing to suppress it, it will not make too many waves.

"Seeing that he is not happy, I think Sasuke Uchiha has the potential to become a pillar of the roots." Jiang Yuan replied expressionlessly.

The root ninja bowed, and then disappeared in place, he knew that this answer was acceptable to Danzo-sama, as long as Senju okra was still willing to communicate, it meant that the person was not out of control.

"Hokage-sama warns you, don't trespass into the rescue room next time, if you cause a medical accident like this time, someone will hold you responsible, in addition, Hokage-sama ordered me to tell you: Be careful of your opponent in the official match, if you lose, it may be too late to treat you." After the dark shinobu finished speaking, it was already obvious that Hokage-sama had hinted at it, and when the matter was done, he could turn a blind eye to this kind of situation, and it was self-evident that under normal circumstances, I Airo did have few opponents among his peers, and it was even more difficult to win this celebrity pillar power steadily.

The arrival of the two attracted some attention, Jiang Yuan opened the small black wine bottle hanging on his waist, this thing is not much different from the thermos cup, at most it looks a little better in appearance, the origin originates from the country of water, since the new water shadow took office, the related trade volume has increased year by year.

"What's the situation?" Yamato came over and asked, he was the leader of the eleventh class, and he originally thought that he could see his subordinates fighting, but who knew that he had a bye.

"It's just a medical malpractice." Jiang Yuan took a sip of Jingguo wine and replied, this is also a temptation, because of the middle ninja exam, Konoha has not found out about Sasuke's situation for the time being, and this is enough.

Kankuro won the third match, Nakamino and Sakura Haruno both eliminated in the fourth, and then Temari and Nara Shikamaru also won, and although there were not many people involved, the competitiveness of the younger generation was clearly quite good.

As for Naruto, he played better, defeating Inuzuka in the sixth match, and then there was a battle between the Hyuga clan and the children of the split family, Hyuga Ninji easily defeated Hinata, and the two sides were not at the same level at the level of soft boxing.

The most striking of these was the battle between Iairo and Rocklee, who showed a strength far beyond that of ordinary shinobi, but was defeated by Iara, who was free to manipulate the sand.

In the end, Maitkai came to the rescue of Rock Lee, who was about to die, Jiang Yuan stopped paying attention to the qualifiers after watching the physical movements of this physical powerhouse, this guy is one of the reasons why he is still barely within the rules, the eight doors of Dunjia that have been cultivated to the peak are extremely terrifying, and the door of death that can only be opened once can make Maitkai hostile to the six realms with a mortal body, and in the case that the other party can distort space, it is indeed doubtful whether the flying thunder god can be launched normally, and he doesn't want to try it now, after all, it is likely to end the world trip ahead of schedule.

At the end of the qualifiers, Sarutobi Hizashi personally came forward to determine the results of the competition, there are many important seeds in this year's middle ninja exam, the nine-tailed human pillar force, the descendants of the Konoha clan, and the only remaining ethnic group of the Uchiha family, coupled with the extensive cooperation between the new era and the surrounding countries, he thinks it is worth his grand treatment.

“…… The official tournament will be held in the newly built arena in a month's time, and I hope you can all give it your all......"

Jiang Yuan rejected the next will of fire pollution, on the day of the official tournament, Orochimaru will completely complete all kinds of arrangements, and then launch an attack on Konoha, that is his chance to seize Shouhe, and before that, he has to go to the Dragon Cave to see if he can obtain the power of immortal arts, and at the same time stay away from some turmoil that he has not hidden.

……

Konoha Hospital.

Kakashi leaned against the window, holding the book "Intimacy Paradise" written by Jiraiya-sama in his hand, but rarely did not enter it, and Sasuke woke up in the hospital bed, the pain in his shoulder was still clear, but it had dropped to an acceptable range.

"The Evil Seal will temporarily control the impact of the Spell Mark on you, but the premise is that you don't take the initiative to ask for the power of the Spell Seal, there is no good way to completely get rid of it at present, in view of the situation of the red bean, if nothing else, this spell mark comes from a terrifying guy, you usually pay attention to it, and report to me immediately if there is a special situation." Kakashi said solemnly that in his time, Orochimaru was almost universally known, and for a while, everyone thought that the other party would inherit the Hokage's throne.

"He's strong?" Sasuke asked after a long pause.

"Very strong." Kakashi replied.

"Compared to the thousand-armed okra." Sasuke asked again.

Kakashi was stunned for a moment, although the Flying Thunder God had a tactical advantage, there should still be a gap between him and the three ninjas who had been famous for decades, and he couldn't judge accurately without directly observing the battle between the two sides.

"What happened in the Forest of Death?"

"I was defeated by the other party." Sasuke didn't want to talk about that encounter, he was considering the possibility of getting strength from Senju okra.

Kakashi's face darkened, isn't this nonsense, otherwise how did the curse mark come about, what he wants to know is the specific process, judging from the results, the thousand-handed okra is likely to be used secretly, of course, it is also possible to collude with Orochimaru, if Sasuke hadn't been strong and fainted before exposing the curse mark, this matter should have been reported to Hokage-sama a long time ago.

"Sasuke, it's not just about you."
