Konoha Strengthening Master

Chapter 322 The Third Assessment Qualifier
After the matter of the Otonin trio ended, some time passed, and the second Chunin assessment also ended.

During this period, Yi Ren did not do anything other than secretly follow Naruto and the others, so until the end of the assessment, Naruto and his party did not see Yi Ren again.

On the contrary, Yi Ren carefully observed the inconspicuous early stage, but the famous big boss bag in the later stage.It has to be said that apart from his temperament, the other party is a first-class genius in terms of strength and communication skills.

……

After Naruto and his party arrived at the tower and opened the heaven and earth scroll together, Yiren also appeared at the same time.

"Wow... bro!!!"

Naruto was startled by Yi Ren's sudden appearance, and after slapping his chest in fear, he clung to him relentlessly.

"Brother, I heard from Sasuke before that you were nearby early tomorrow, but you didn't help, which caused Sakura to be hurt like that and didn't even say an apology."

Hearing this, the corners of Yi Ren's mouth twitched, and he explained: "First, I just rushed over. Second, I am an examiner, how can I make a move so easily? Third..."

Yiren paused for a moment, and didn't give Naruto a chance to repent. He grabbed each side of Naruto's bearded face with both hands, and said angrily, "You brat, are you so courageous that you dare to question me?"

"Oh, it stinks!!!"

Naruto, who was pulled by Yi Ren, begged for mercy inarticulately.

Gazing at Naruto, Yi Ren let go of his hand and said, "Okay, you are almost the last group of people, come with me, the others are waiting for you."

Hearing this, Sasuke and Sakura didn't react yet, but Naruto jumped up and said, "Brother, where's your apprentice? Has he arrived yet? He won't be eliminated, right?"

Hearing this, Sasuke and Sakura also looked at Yiren together, and then they remembered that they still had a bet before this.

Although it did take them a long time to pass this assessment, there is no guarantee that Jun Ma Lu will be eliminated before then.

Seeing Naruto looking at him with big eyes, Yi Ren flicked the other person's head angrily and amusedly: "You don't even think about it, whose disciple is that, and he came to this tower long before you arrived."

Saying that, Yi Ren said again: "I remember it was the first one."

After Yiren finished speaking the last sentence, not only Sakura, but even Naruto and Naruto also changed their expressions.

Although they thought that Junmalu was likely to win them, they never expected that Junmalu could get No.1 by himself. This made the three of them who always felt good about themselves feel deeply powerless feel.

Is the gap in strength really that big?

Obviously not much older than himself and others.

Seeing that Naruto and others looked unwilling, Yiren smiled gratifiedly, and took the opportunity to say: "You don't have to underestimate yourself too much. Although Jun Malu is strong, he is only a little older than you. After waiting for the same Age, I believe you will not be much different."

Saying that, without waiting for Naruto and others to say anything, he turned and left.

Not long after Yiren left, Naruto and the others followed him to the third assessment site.

Compared with the first assessment, the number of people in the second assessment was significantly smaller.

Naruto and the others looked around and found that besides the Jonin who led the team, there were about 20 candidates from all the candidates.

"Yo, Hinata, it's great that you passed too!"

After seeing Hinata in the corner, Naruto greeted warmly first, and after getting a response, he turned his attention to Junmaro who was hanging out with Gaara and others.

After seeing that there were basically no wounds on Jun Malu's body, he couldn't help curling his lips in disdain.

Unlike Naruto, although Sasuke also looked towards Kimaro, his gaze was on Gaara beside Kimaro.

And for some reason, Gaara and his party always looked at them vaguely.

……

Just when everyone was looking at each other, Yi Ren, as the examiner of this assessment, was abruptly pushed out by San Dai and others to speak.

After exchanging pleasantries, Yi Ren got back to the topic: "Because the second assessment has passed, there are still 21 people left, which is really too many, so the third generation adults decided to add a 1vs1 preliminaries before the third assessment... "

Afterwards, like the original book, Kodo chose to quit, and Sasuke was warned by Kakashi because of the curse mark on his neck.

Of course, Yiren was also questioned by Kakashi and Sandai during this period.

After all, in their view, with Yiren's protection, Sasuke could still be cursed by Orochimaru, and in all likelihood, Yiren did it on purpose.

Of course, Yi Ren didn't care about this matter at all, because Sasuke is different from the original book. With Sasuke's current strength, even if he can't control the curse seal as he likes, he won't be cursed again in a short time drag.

It is even said that if it is used properly, it can be regarded as a good hole card.

However, due to Yiren's excessive intervention and Jun Malu's intervention, the subsequent assessment situation is very different from the original work.

Not only did some people's opponents become different, but even the outcome changed.

For example, the duel between Sakura and Ino no longer ends in a draw, but Sakura easily wins.

The red copper armor defeated by Sasuke in the original book became Kimaru's opponent.

Sasuke's opponent was replaced by Kankuro (Kankuro still chose to admit defeat.)
Although the seemingly weak Hinata still lost the game, she was never seriously injured by Neji like in the original book.

On the contrary, because of Neji's holding hands and her own progress, she caused a lot of trouble to the opponent during the battle.

And because of the above, the change percentage of the original work even dropped by 0.5%, which made Yi Xin very distressed.

Of course, there are also many results and content of the game that did not happen.

For example, in the confrontation between Xiao Li and Gaara, although Xiao Li still adhered to his persistence and perseverance and caused slight damage to Gaara, the final result was that he was ravaged by Gaara.

Like the original book, Kiba was crushed by Naruto and lost the qualification for the competition.

……

After the preliminaries of the third assessment round, the remaining players are: Uzumaki Naruto, Uchiha Sasuke, Haruno Sakura, Hinata Neji, Sataki Gaara, Kaguya-kun Maro, Nara Shikamaru, Temari, Tenten , Yu Nv Zhi Nao.

……

"Brother, why didn't you save Thick Eyebrow before?"

After the match, Naruto went directly to Yiren regardless of Sakura and Sasuke's obstruction, and questioned the indifferent opponent.

"Why should I save?" Yi Ren raised his brows, he knew very well that even if he didn't take action, Xiao Li would be safe when Tsunade came back later, but he thought so, but it didn't mean Naruto would think the same way.

In Naruto's view, Yiren's "superior medical skills" must have a chance to heal Xiao Li's injury, but the other party ignores Xiao Li's injury, which makes it difficult for Naruto, who has a sense of justice in his heart, to accept.

Seeing Naruto's unconvinced face, Yi Ren also put away his laughing look, and said coldly to Naruto: "Because he is not worth my rescue."

Without waiting for Naruto to get angry, Yi Ren said again: "Do you think that guy's behavior just now is very brave and very responsible for a ninja? Let me tell you, he just asked for it."

"Ninja's self-esteem? Dignity? Don't give me that. In my eyes, he is just trying to show off his own life. This is an exam, not a life-and-death struggle, and it's not about asking him to protect important people. If you lose the exam this time, you can still take the exam later, but if you lose your life, you are really dead. I will not pay the price to treat people who put their lives in vain because of a momentary conflict of spirits."

"Naruto, since you said this, I also warn you that power is not used to show off, let alone a stepping stone to prove yourself to others. Power is used to protect family, friends, and life. If one day, you I'm also like Xiao Li, I won't save you if you are seriously injured because of something unworthy, you, and you, do you understand?"

Saying that, Yi Ren looked at Sasuke and Sakura behind Naruto with cold eyes.
