Chapter 52 Hinata and Yagyu’s opponents, the duel of the top students
After Aburame Shino won, the list of the third round of duels came out soon.
Tsurugi Misumi VS Kankuro.
Like Akado Kai, Tsurugi Misumi is also an undercover agent planted by Orochimaru in Konoha, and is one of the two teammates of Kabuto Yakushi.
It’s just that this undercover agent doesn’t seem to be very smart! When fighting Kankuro, he used software transformation unscrupulously, and his body could stretch freely like a snake.
People who don’t know Orochimaru may not see anything wrong.
But people who know Orochimaru better, see the shadow of Orochimaru in Tsurugi Misumi.
For example, Orochimaru’s disciple, Mitarashi Anko.
And… Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Even if Ken Misumi wins, the people waiting for him should be the ones from the torture department.
Unfortunately, he is not Kanjuro’s opponent.
The initial software transformation can still cause Kanjuro some trouble.
But as his abilities are understood and he has no new tricks, Kanjuro quickly defeats him with a puppet.
The fifth round of the duel, Nara Shikamaru vs. Taeda Riki.
Taeda Riki is the only Oto-nin who did not give up.
However, before Nara Shikamaru went down, the Oto-nin raised his hand and said, “I give up!”
Hearing this, many people cast strange eyes at him.
Some suspicious people even had a trace of scrutiny in their eyes.
There is no way, this person is too suspicious.
He did not give up just now, but he gave up now. What is he doing? The Otoshi ninja ignored the gazes of these big shots, raised his hand to give up, and left here quickly.
The mission of him and his companions was just to cover for Orochimaru and Lord Kabuto.
Now that Lord Orochimaru’s goal has been achieved, there is naturally no need to stay here.
After all, their strength is far inferior to Lord Toss and his men! Sarutobi Hiruzen held a pipe in his hand and whispered to a special jonin next to him: “Go check these Otoshi ninjas and their guiding jonins.”
”Yes.”
As the Otoshi ninja gave up, the name on the screen flashed again.
At the same time, a figure quietly appeared on the second-floor stands. It was Hatake Kakashi who had helped Uchiha Sasuke seal the curse.
He did not report to Sarutobi Hiruzen. He had just met Orochimaru in the secret room. Instead, he told Naruto and Sakura about Uchiha Sasuke’s situation, and then watched the next duel with the two students.
When the list of the sixth round of duels was finalized, no one noticed that the pupils of Yagyu, who was lying on the armrest, suddenly shrank to the limit under the lenses of the contact lenses.
How is this possible? ! The list of the sixth round of duels was——
Hinata Hyuga VS Yumiko! Yumiko was no stranger to Yagyu, and the three Hinata girls, Nara Shikamaru, and Akimichi Choji were no strangers either.
Before Hinata joined Yagyu’s small circle, Yumiko was Sakura’s deskmate.
This is not the key! The main reason why Yagyu’s pupils shrank was why Hinata’s opponent was Yumiko?
It is not difficult to see from Uchiha Sasuke VS Akadenori that the random matches on the screen, whether in the original or now, are all operated in secret.
Sakura VS Ino in the original may be a coincidence.
But there are two duels that are definitely deliberately arranged.
These two duels are Uchiha Sasuke vs. Akado Kabuto, and…Hyuga Hinata vs. Hyuga Neji.
As the only remaining powerful family in Konoha, the Hyuga clan has become the most valued ninja clan by Sarutobi Hiruzen.
If it weren’t for the fact that it was difficult for this clan to produce a Kage-level person, and they knew that they were the weakest powerful family in Konoha, and had always been the supporters of the Hokage lineage since the establishment of Konoha, the Hyuga clan would definitely be suppressed by the Konoha high-level officials, and their treatment would not be much better than that of the Uchiha clan.
Since the birth of the bird in the cage, the Hyuga clan has always had the most outstanding heirs of the main family, and will be the strongest in the future. But in this generation, a genius appeared in the branch family, who was the chief student of the 59th class of Konoha and the most outstanding Genin of the 59th class of Konoha.
In the original novel, Sarutobi Hiruzen arranged Hinata to fight against Hyuga Neji in order to observe whether the main family or the branch family of this generation of Hyuga clan is the best.
But now, Hinata’s opponent is not Hyuga Neji.
Could it be that Hinata in the original novelIs it a coincidence that he was matched with Hyuga Neji?
The only real secret operation was Uchiha Sasuke vs. Akadoun Kai? Although he was extremely confused, Yagyu still smiled and encouraged Hinata: “Hinata, come on!”
”Yeah.”
Hinata nodded with a smile, and then walked down.
What a coincidence, she and Yumiko were in the same stand.
When the two girls went down together, Yumiko whispered to Hinata: “Hinata, give me some face.”
Hinata nodded seriously: “Yeah, I will.”
Hinata was very grateful to Yumiko.
If she hadn’t been willing to exchange seats with her, her relationship with Ino and Sakura would never have reached the current level.
She was able to get the friendship she longed for and get in such close contact with the person she loved, thanks to Yumiko’s help.
Therefore, Hinata decided to go easy on Yumiko.
When the battle started, Hinata did not open her Byakugan, nor did she use her soft fist to fight Yumiko. Instead, she used the basics of the Ninja School to fight Yumiko as a trainee Genin.
During the battle, Yumiko did not use any ninjutsu except the three bodies.
It was not that the instructor had not taught her yet, but that she had not learned it yet.
After more than twenty rounds of fighting, Hinata appeared behind Yumiko in an instant and put a kunai against her neck, ending the battle.
Seeing Hinata’s performance, Hyuga Neji of the Might Guy team frowned, and he was even more displeased with this young lady.
It was obvious that the battle could be resolved quickly, so why go easy on her?
As the eldest daughter of the main family, she actually fought with a civilian Genin like this. Doesn’t she know that she is embarrassing the family?
In his heart, Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded with satisfaction.
This kindness to one’s own people is precious for the children of the ninja clan!
If the Hyuga clan is inherited by Hyuga Hinata in the future, there will be no threat to the Konoha high-level for at least the next few decades.
After Hinata returned to the stands, the name on the screen flashed again.
Before Yagyu congratulated Hinata, a lot of eyes gathered on him, including Yuhi Kurenai and Aburame Shino next to him, and Hinata who had returned.
On the big screen, it was clearly displayed-
Yagyu VS Hyuga Neji!
Seeing Yagyu’s surprised expression, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was smoking with a pipe in his hand, couldn’t help but smile.
Just as Yagyu thought, this random match was indeed a secret operation.
When seeing the list of those who passed the second exam, Sarutobi Hiruzen did have the idea of observing the heirs of the main and branch families of the Hyuga clan.
But after seeing Yagyu’s name, he suddenly changed his mind and wanted to see the duel between the top student of this class and the top student of the previous class.
At the same time, Sarutobi Hiruzen also wanted to take this opportunity to see the potential of Yagyu, a civilian genius.
If Hyuga Neji wins, the duel between the main family and the branch family will be arranged in the official match of the third exam.
If Yagyu wins, it means that he is worth training and can be invested in, so that the Hokage lineage will have another mainstay in the future.
This arrangement is simply a plan to kill two birds with one stone! (End of this chapter)
