Chapter 173 The preliminary round begins, Tiantian overpowers Temari, the spear that shakes everyone, and Might Guy’s silence
”It’s bad, it’s bad, today is the third exam.”
While Orochimaru was speechless, Uzumaki Naruto, who was sitting cross-legged, suddenly thought of something and his face froze.
Although he had already passed the exam in the Forest of Death and came out early.
But today is the end of the second exam, which means that today is the beginning of the third exam.
Thinking of this, Uzumaki Naruto hurriedly got up, hugged Charmander and ran towards the tower.
I must not be late.
”Unconsciously, it’s already the preliminary round.”
Looking at Uzumaki Naruto running away quickly, Orochimaru narrowed his eyes.
The time he reserved for himself was to watch Uchiha Sasuke’s performance in the preliminaries and then leave Konoha Village.
He originally wanted to secretly observe Uchiha Sasuke these days.
But Uzumaki Naruto’s mysterious ring and Momotaro rice balls kept him from leaving.
Thinking of this, Orochimaru shook his head.
It seems that he can only give up temporarily.
Just go and see Sasuke.
Thinking so, Orochimaru decisively followed Uzumaki Naruto and also ran straight to the tower.
”Oh no, I forgot to take my things.”
Not long after Orochimaru caught up with Uzumaki Naruto, the running Uzumaki Naruto suddenly thought of something and his face turned green.
Without saying a word, he turned around and ran back.
Quickly returned to the house, put the Xuanzhong ruler on his back, and continued to run towards the tower.
“That thing.”
Watching Uzumaki Naruto come back with a huge piece of black iron, Orochimaru frowned.
This nine-tailed brat wouldn’t use this as a weapon, would he?
Under Orochimaru’s gaze, Uzumaki Naruto hurried to the tower.
When he arrived here, he saw that many people had already gathered here.
In addition to the candidates who passed the test, there were also the jonin of Konoha Village and the third generation Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen.
”Naruto, come here quickly.”
Looking at Uzumaki Naruto running over in a hurry, Haruno Sakura waved at Uzumaki Naruto and signaled him to come over.
Beside him, Uchiha Sasuke was standing quietly.
But the next second, Uchiha Sasuke looked at the Xuanzhong ruler behind Uzumaki Naruto and his face became solemn.
It’s time to participate in the preliminaries, but Uzumaki Naruto is still carrying this weighted iron plate. He’s working too hard.
”Hey, Kakashi, your disciple is pretty good.”
On the second floor, Might Guy looked at Uzumaki Naruto who was running hurriedly with the Xuanzhong ruler on his back, and immediately sighed: “You’ve come all this way, but you still don’t forget to carry a weighted thing. You’re really stupid. Can’t you build a better weight training device for Naruto?”
Training with a piece of iron tied to your body is the most primitive and stupid way.
Even those who specialize in physical training will use weighted wrist guards and so on.
“Although this kid has been practicing the Eight Gates these days, I haven’t seen him carrying it.”
Hearing Might Guy’s words, Kakashi looked strange; “Whether it was yesterday or the day before yesterday, when you guided him to practice the Eight Gates, he didn’t have the habit of carrying weights.”
”This thing, I think it might be a weapon he prepared.”
It’s not like he and Might Guy haven’t been to Uzumaki Naruto’s place these days.
Never seen Uzumaki Naruto carrying this thing.
If he didn’t see it wrong, this thing was thrown into a corner of the house by Uzumaki Naruto.
He didn’t expect that when the budget game started today, Uzumaki Naruto would rush over with such a thing on his back.
Obviously, Uzumaki Naruto should have used this thing as a weapon.
“Can this thing be used as a weapon?”
After hearing Kakashi’s words, Might Guy looked at the Xuanzhong ruler on Uzumaki Naruto’s back with astonishment.
It’s too stupid to carry such a big thing on your back.
It’s not easy to carry it.
Not only Might Guy was astonished, but the other candidates, as well as Sarutobi Hiruzen, all looked at the Xuanzhong ruler on Uzumaki Naruto’s back.
Especially the Third Hokage, whose mouth twitched slightly.
I haven’t seen Naruto for a few days. What is Naruto doing again?
Shaked his head and waited for a while.
Among all the candidates,After all the students came, an examiner spoke: “First, congratulations to everyone for passing the second exam. Now, please let the Hokage explain the relevant matters of the third exam. You must listen carefully.”
As this person’s voice fell, everyone present looked over.
”Crack.”
While looking over, Kurenai took a bite of the golden apple in her hand.
”No, Kurenai.”
Beside Kurenai, Might Guy saw Kurenai biting the golden apple, and his eyes widened: “Why is the apple you eat still golden? Where did it come from?”
What the hell.
If it weren’t for the appearance of the apple and the flesh exposed after Kurenai took a bite, Might Guy really couldn’t imagine why there would be a golden apple.
As Might Guy spoke, the Konoha examiners around him looked over one by one.
When they saw the golden apple in Kurenai’s hand, they all looked strange.
Golden apple? Whether it was Asuma Sarutobi or Ibiki Morino, they couldn’t help but look at the golden apple in Kurenai’s hand.
This thing really attracted their attention.
”I dyed it myself, do you want to eat it?”
Hearing what Might Guy said, Kurenai immediately took out another golden apple and threw it to Might Guy.
”This thing, golden, is too weird.”
Looking at the golden apple Kurenai threw to him, Might Guy’s mouth twitched slightly.
If Kurenai hadn’t taken a bite, he would have doubted whether this thing was made of gold.
Immediately, Might Guy also took a bite directly, and a crisp “click” sound was heard.
Feeling the sweetness at the entrance, Might Guy immediately gave Kurenai a thumbs up: “Very good apple, tastes good.”
”This thing.”
Next to him, Kakashi, who had been watching this scene, raised his eyebrows.
If I guessed correctly, the golden apple in Yuhi Kurenai’s hand should be related to the jar shop.
”Before I explain the third exam, there is one thing I must make clear first.”
At this time, Sarutobi Hiruzen had already walked out, looking at all the candidates present and said; “That is why this exam is held.”
”Why else?”
”Is there a reason for holding it? Isn’t it just the Chunin Exam?”
Hearing Sarutobi Hiruzen’s words, the ninjas from other ninja villages present were shocked.
The Chunin Exam was held, so why is there a reason? “Because the allies today were all neighboring countries that competed with each other in the past, in order to avoid the necessary loss of combat power and the situation of mutual destruction, this Chunin Exam was chosen as the battlefield.”
Faced with everyone’s astonishment, Sarutobi Hiruzen slowly said: “This Chunin Exam is different from the usual ones. While selecting Chunins, it is also a battlefield for ninjas to shoulder the prestige of the village and fight for their lives.”
”So there will be daimyos and celebrities from various countries who will be invited to watch the third Chunin Exam and see your performance.”
”If the performance is poor, the commissions received by the village will be reduced.”
”The strength of the country is the strength of the village, and the strength of the village is the strength of the ninja.”
”The strength of a ninja can only be seen in a desperate battle. “Don’t treat it as an ordinary exam.” “This is an exam where you need to fight for your dreams and the prestige of the village.” “The reason why the allies want to hold this Chunin exam together is to deepen the friendly relations between each other and enhance the strength of ninjas.” “Before the real third exam, a preliminary selection is required. As for the reason for the preliminary selection.” “There are too many candidates who passed.” Before Sarutobi Hiruzen finished speaking, Gekkou Gale stepped forward and said, “Hokage-sama, leave it to me next. I am the chief examiner of this exam.” “Well, okay.” Hearing what Gekkou Gale said, Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded. Uzumaki Naruto and others turned their eyes to Gekkou Gale. “This guy looks so pale and sick, is he really a ninja?”
”Is he the chief examiner? Is there no one left in Konoha? I think any examiner on the second floor is better than him.”
”Well, he is the chief examiner after all. Even the Hokage doesn’t say so. He should not be an ordinary ninja.”
”What’s the reason for saying there are too many people? More than 40 people are too many?”
While candidates spoke one after another and talked in a low voice, Moonlight Gale turned his head and looked at everyone present.He said calmly: “The first two exams of this Chunin Exam were too easy, and there was a problem with the Forest of Death, so there are too many people left.”
”So according to the regulations, a preliminary round is required to reduce the number of people participating in the next exam.”
”The Hokage also said before that there will be many distinguished guests to watch the game, and time is limited, so we can’t drag it out too much.” ”So the preliminaries will be held today and end today.”
”And there are forty-four people present, and there will be two battles.”
Speaking of this, Moonlight Gale paused and continued: “The remaining two duels are left. Twenty-two people, after two-on-two duels, there are eleven people left. Although there are medical ninjas here and they can be cured, many injuries still need time to recover. ”
”That is to say, the eleven people who advance in the end will have two consecutive high-intensity battles. Only the truly strong ones can advance.”
”So, those who feel physically unwell in the first duel, or those who do not want to continue after listening to my explanation, can raise their hands and abstain.”
”I will give you three minutes. If you don’t have time, the preliminary competition will officially begin.”
After the voice fell, Moonlight Gale stopped talking and started counting.
The candidates present who heard Moonlight Gale’s words looked ugly one by one.
“No, two consecutive high-intensity battles? This Chunin Exam is too much.”
”I only needed one battle to participate in the Chunin Exam last year, and these two battles are just for the preliminary round?”
”If I get seriously injured in the first battle and can’t participate in the next one, I will be completely eliminated. Isn’t that a big loss?”
”So if I get injured in the first battle, I can only recover from my injuries during the gaps between others’ battles. If I am the last one to play, I won’t have any rest time after winning, and I will go to the next exam non-stop. Even if there are medical ninjas, they may not be able to heal my injuries.”
You know, they are just Genin.
Now they need to fight two high-intensity battles to pass the preliminary round.
Even if there are medical ninjas from Konoha, it is just a drop in the bucket.
”I, I’m ready to give up.”
Someone hesitated for a moment, but still reached out his hand.
“Are you sure?”
Seeing this person reaching out his hand, Moonlight Gale took the list record, coughed, and said: “I just forgot to say that this battle is based on individuals, so don’t worry about one person in a team quitting and the others can’t quit.”
Under the eyes of everyone, another person soon chose to quit.
Seeing this scene, some people were very surprised.
Because someone quit, it means they have a better chance of passing this so-called pre-selection.
”Huh?”
Uchiha Sasuke, who was standing, suddenly frowned and subconsciously reached out to cover the curse seal on his neck.
Obviously, there was no pain in the past few days.
But just now, it hurt again.
What’s going on?
“Then I declare that the competition officially begins.”
At this time, Moonlight Gale closed the list, looked at the 42 people who had not withdrawn, and said; “There are no restrictions in this preliminaries. The battle will not end until one side dies, falls or surrenders. Therefore, if you want to survive, you must surrender early.”
“However, ahem, when I think the winner is obvious, in order to reduce the number of corpses to a minimum, I will enter the field to terminate the game.”
“And the display screen above will determine your fate.”
At this point, Moonlight Gale took out a button and pressed it, and the huge screen above his head began to flash.
The names and avatars of the candidates present appeared.
“Everything is randomly ranked. Now let’s start the names of the two sides in the first round.”
Moonlight Gale spoke, once again attracting the attention of all the candidates present.
“It must be me.”
Looking at the huge display screen, Tiantian clenched his fists.
If it was her first match, she could leave and go find Lin Mo after the match.
Under Tiantian’s gaze, two names appeared on the screen.
One of them was her.
”Great, I’m the first one to play!”
Looking at her name appearing on the screen, Tiantian was surprised.
What she thought came true.
Without any hesitation, Tiantian immediately jumped down from the second floor.
”When did that kid’s weapon become a gun?”
As Tiantian moved, Sarutobi Asuma frowned slightly.He frowned and looked at Might Guy: “Kai, did you choose this kid’s weapon?”
”I don’t know.”
Hearing Asuma Sarutobi’s words, Might Guy scratched his head: “This kid made it himself.”
”I haven’t seen this kind of weapon for a long time.”
”It’s still a bit tasteless for a ninja to use a spear.”
Both Kakashi and Yuhi Kurenai looked at Tiantian carrying a spear and raised their eyebrows.
They knew that Tiantian had been with Lin Mo for a long time.
He carried a spear on his back for no reason, so it must be a weapon.
It might be opened from a jar.
Subconsciously, Kakashi looked at the Xuanzhong ruler behind Uzumaki Naruto again, with a strange look on his face.
Did this thing also come out of a jar?
“That’s right, that weapon should also be opened from a can.”
Naruto Uzumaki looked at Tiantian with a stern face, and subconsciously touched the Xuanzhong ruler on his back.
He knew that this guy had been with Mr. Lin Mo, so the spear was likely opened from a can.
”In the first round, Tiantian will fight Temari, both players please come over.”
At this time, Moonlight Gale spoke, and Temari in the distance immediately left the team and walked out.
”It’s this guy.”
Tiantian, who came over, looked at Temari who was also coming over, with a strange expression.
When she used a sniper rifle to snipe Kankuro before, this woman’s weapon was also shot through by her.
Looking at it now, has it been repaired?
”Why is it a little girl?”
And Temari frowned as she looked at Tiantian who was on the field in front of her.
Tiantian: “.”
After hearing this, Tiantian’s face darkened, and he immediately grabbed the spear behind him, ready to teach this woman a lesson.
”I declare that the game begins!”
With the “start” command from Moonlight Gale, Tiantian did not hesitate at all, directly raised the spear in his hand, kicked his feet, and rushed out like an arrow from a string.
”What a fast speed!”
Seeing Tiantian’s instant action, all the candidates present had their eyelids twitched.
”This is completely the speed of physical skills.”
Lok Lee looked at Tiantian’s speed and was a little envious.
And Temari looked at Tiantian who rushed over in an instant, and was also suddenly shocked in her heart: “So fast!”
This little girl who was originally ignored by her was so fast, which was beyond her expectation.
Without any hesitation, Temari hurriedly waved the big iron fan in her hand, blocking in front of herself, trying to stop the opponent’s attack.
Just as Temari unfolded the iron fan, Tiantian’s spear was in front of her, and the sharp spear head with a sharp wind pointed directly at her defense.
”Bang!”
The tip of the spear hit Temari’s big iron fan hard, making a dull sound.
The powerful impact instantly passed through the fan to Temari’s arms, causing her to step back a few steps, and her feet left a deep mark on the ground.
”How is this possible?”
It was just a blow, but it shocked Temari again.
She could feel that Tiantian simply waved the spear directly and beat her back with strength alone.
This means that Tiantian’s physical skills are better than hers!
“What a fast speed.”
”He can exert such a great power just by relying on physical strength. He is worthy of being a jonin.”
”Students led by jonin are indeed not comparable to those led by chuunin. I remember that this kid has only graduated for a year.”
On the second floor, all the chuunins of Konoha were surprised and turned to look at Might Guy.
Among all the jonin of Konoha present, only Might Guy is the most proficient in physical skills.
Among the three students he taught, the first one alone showed such a strong power. How did he usually train? ”Sure, Gai.”
Asuma Sarutobi patted Might Guy’s shoulder and said with emotion; “The power shown by this child alone is stronger than my three students. How do you usually train physical skills?”
Might Guy: “.”
Hearing the exclamations and even praises of the people around him, Might Guy was silent for a while.
Can he say that he has not taught Tenten much during this period? Apart from helping Tiantian develop a plan for physical training, there is nothing else to do.
