The Right Way to Die in the Ninja World

Chapter 313 The Fundamental Difference
Akira Hanami counted the victors present, Yakumo, Sakura, Tenten, Li, Ningji, Sasuke, Temari, Shiro, and Zabuzhan, a total of nine, plus him, ten, if Naruto and If Gaara decides the winner...

Eh?Does something seem wrong?

Hua Jianming counted the number of people, showing a clear look.

"It's over."

"That's it!"

Tsunade stopped Naruto and Gaara from fighting.

"The number of people has dropped to half, your battle can end, and you are ready to enter the third exam."

This exam is just a melee fight to eliminate half of them, and it's not really about fighting to the death with the opponent.

There were 3 groups with a total of 30 people who entered the preliminaries before, and then the three people from the grass ninja village and the two people from the phantom ninja village abstained, that is, a melee of 25 people.

According to the rules, half of the people will be eliminated after the melee. Now they have not conceded defeat and eliminated on the field, plus Naruto and Gaara, there are exactly 12 people, and they can already pass the level.

However, when Tsunade's voice fell, Naruto and Gaara seemed to be entangled together as if they hadn't heard it. The two fought so much that they didn't hear Tsunade's words at all.

"Hehe, let me tell you—"

I saw Tsunade showing a ferocious and unrestrained smile, clenched his fist, and rushed into the battle between Naruto and Gaara in an instant, exerting strength from one left and one right at the same time...

"Bang! Bang!"

Two loud bangs sounded almost at the same time, and Naruto and Gaara were sent flying at the same time, piercing through the earth wall made by Akira Hanami, and then embedded in the examination venues on both sides.

Suddenly, the examination room was silent, and almost everyone was dripping with cold sweat.

A snake-eyed ninja on the stage silently covered his aching ribs.

'It's been so long, Tsunade is still the same guy!It's really his style. '

In the dead silence, only Hua Jianming was quite emotional after being stunned for a second.

"As expected of Tsunade-sensei, even in the midst of anger, remember to restrain yourself! The strength is just right."

Naruto, who was dizzy from the beating, slowly got up, because the others were very quiet, he clearly heard Hanami Akira's comment, and he couldn't help but cover his aching head with an aggrieved expression.

"It hurts too much! Is this still called restraint?"

"Of course, if the teacher really goes all out, you should directly become a star in the sky."

"..."

It sounds so reasonable!

Everyone looked at the blonde woman in awe, and even the little panda stood up silently, waiting for the host to speak.

Gaara and Naruto's eyes met for a moment, and after they reached a consensus that "the winner will be determined next time", they both lowered their heads in a cute manner.

Tsunade looked at the effect he had created with satisfaction, and finally smiled normally.

"Okay, I announce that the qualifiers are over. A total of 12 people entered the third test, namely Hanami Akira from Konoha Village, Kurama Yakumo, Haruno Sakura, Tenten, Locke Lee, Hinata Neji, Uchiha Sasuke 8 people from Naruto Uzumaki, 2 people from Shiro and Black from Hashimura Village, and 2 people from Temari and Gaara from Sand Hidden Village."

"..."

It hurts, Tsunade-sensei!

I deliberately emphasized the number of people. Isn't this poking people's heart?

Akira Hanami looked at Sand Ninja leading the team with a face as dark as the bottom of a pot, and couldn't help biting his lips, for fear of laughing out loud.

This wave is definitely Konoha's big victory!

"Then the next step is to draw opponents. You will decide your opponents here, and then enter the 30-day preparation period. During this period, daimyos, nobles, businessmen, tourists, etc. from all over the world will come to Konoha to watch the last match Competition, your performance in the examination room will determine whether you can become Chunin."

Tsunade doesn't like to talk nonsense. After finishing the main points concisely, he waved his hand and announced directly.

"Then, the distribution of the third exam is as follows—"

The electronic screen in the examination room began to flicker, and finally the connection was paired:
Gaara VS Naruto
Temari VS Tiantian
Locke Lee VS Hinata Neiji
Kurama Yakumo vs Haruno Sakura

white vs black

Hanami Akira VS Uchiha Sasuke

……

If this list was not manipulated in secret, who would believe it?
Hanami Akira looked at Tsunade who claimed to be "random" speechlessly, which was too obvious.

Because Sakura was strengthened by him, it is obvious that Tiantian's strength is the weakest among them, and she happened to meet the Kazetsu ninja who restrained her. Let's not talk about Gaara for now, but Temari is obviously planning to escort one Victory places.

Even if victory does not mean that they will definitely be able to become Chunin, but it also gives the Sand Ninja Village a face and prevents them from being so ugly.

The same is true of Bai He's internal fighting, which means that one of them must be eliminated no matter what. This is also to maintain the face of Da Ren Village. At least these two powerful people cannot all win.

As for the others, they are pretty much the same, and they all have good points to watch.

In fact, Akira Hana is still looking forward to the games of the other players.

Gaara and Naruto can be said to be a fateful duel between Jinchuriki, especially with the background of the qualifiers being suspended halfway, they can only play more fiercely in the final.

Of course, what he looks forward to the most must be the duel between Xiao Li and Ning Ci - what he is looking forward to is naturally not the result of the duel, but the expression that Ning Ci's iceberg-faced face will show when the time comes.

In the original book, when Xiao Li's "self-restraint release" was against Gaara, he said that the "Eight Gate Dunjia" move was originally reserved for Neji, but now he has no regrets, and can use it on the right master.

Thinking of the "Ningji: Are you trying to kill me?.JPG" emoticon pack, Hua Jianming couldn't talk more and more looking forward to it. Neji's expression must be very interesting.

The rest of the battle between him and Sasuke is nothing to say, and Yakumo and Sakura can be regarded as a battle of friends... right?

After Tsunade announced the time and the list, the venue ended, and everyone left one after another.

According to the usual practice, at this time, the teams go to celebrate together first, and then go home to celebrate together at night, just like Naruto can't wait to say that he will go to Iruka's father (strike out) to invite the teacher to praise and celebrate, Going home at night is the same as eating with Kakashi Hanamiaki.

Of course, Naruto didn't forget his good friend Sasuke, but Sasuke refused and said he wanted to go back directly.

Akira Hanami originally wanted to invite Yakumo to eat barbecue, but...

He looked at Sakura and Yakumo who had been staring at each other for a long time, and felt that the atmosphere between the two was a bit strange, and there was a kind of tension that was not easy to intervene.

Is it because the two parties are friends, so the finals are a bit difficult?

After hesitating for a while, Hua Jianming decided that it would be better to leave with Jun Malu first.

At this time, whether it is persuading them to put their friendship first and the competition second, or to encourage them to show their true skills is to respect their opponents, Chuncheng seems very strange, let the two of them solve it by themselves!

It was rare for Yakumo not to leave with Hanami Akira, she looked at Sakura and spoke softly with a solemn expression.

"Sakura, you should be thinking the same as me now, right?"

"Of course."

Sakura also returned the same serious expression, with firm and serious eyes.

"Although what you said is very reasonable, but I also said that I will not admit defeat easily."

"Then it's easy."

"Ah, we will become rivals, this is also a coincidence of fate."

"I will definitely win! When the time comes, please give up your impossible thoughts about Ming-chan!"

"What an arrogant idea, I won't lose! If I win, you should give up Mingjun!"

There were intense sparks in the eyes of the two women at this time, and there were faint flashes of lightning and thunder.

Ninja respect the strong, whether it is among men or among women.

At this moment, they didn't say anything directly and in detail, but they made this tacit "gamble" together.

Outside the door, Sasuke who deliberately rejected Naruto was standing there silently.

He didn't follow Naruto on the one hand because he didn't want to disturb the strong "father-son aura" between Naruto and Iruka-sensei, and on the other hand because he had...teammates he wanted to invite.

After all, their seventh class has all entered the finals, and they should have celebrated together. If he left with Naruto and Iruka, would Sakura be alone at the start?

Therefore, for the sake of teamwork and harmony among his teammates, he reluctantly stayed and prepared to invite people.

Sasuke tightly held two coupons for high-end Japanese food in his hands. He purposely... no, he got it by coincidence and planned to invite Sakura. It would be a waste to not use it anyway, so he casually invited his teammates.

However, after hearing the conversation between Sakura and Yakumo, somehow, Sasuke's original high-spirited nature disappeared.

When Sakura walked out of the examination room, she even subconsciously hid in the shadows, not letting the other party see him.

On the contrary, Yakumo, who came out later and was good at perception, saw Sasuke.

"Sasuke-kun, won't you invite Sakura?"

"……Nothing to do with you."

"Why is it okay? I really hope you can handle Sakura!"

Yakumo looked at the awkward Sasuke and shook his head.

"Sasuke-kun, if you want to chase girls, you have to learn to take the initiative! Besides, after the finals, I will definitely win. Then you have to seize the opportunity and sneak in."

"Hmph, you are really arrogant." Sasuke snorted coldly, "Sakura is very strong!"

Although for some reason, Sasuke really had a secret expectation that he didn't really want Sakura to win, but this feeling was only fleeting, and he was so proud that he still hoped that his teammates would win even if...

"No, it's not arrogance, but a doomed ending from the beginning."

Yakumo's eyes were deep and far away, she showed a mysterious smile and looked at Sasuke.

"Sasuke-kun, don't you realize? The difference between me and her."

"what?"

"Hehe, he really is a dull boy!"

Yakumo smiled and did not continue to say anything, and walked away from the examination room.

However, she still affirmed her judgment in her heart.

This time, she must win the exam, not Sakura!
It's not because of the difference in strength, but because of the fundamental difference in the state of mind between the two from the very beginning.

Yakumo only recognizes victory, and wants to win without hesitation, while Sakura's wording is "I will not admit defeat". In fact, the opponent's heart has already been shaken, but there is a tenacity that does not want to admit defeat.

That kind of stubbornness is really good, but...

"I'm...absolutely, absolutely, absolutely not giving up Min-chan to anyone else!"

Therefore, she must win!Must win!

It is impossible for Sakura, who does not have this belief in victory, to defeat her who has the belief that if she wins, she will die!
