Learning Master in Naruto

Chapter 152 Battle group
After Sarutobi Hiruzen spoke, Echizen Kazuya and the other seven looked at him expectantly, waiting to hear the rules of the final official selection competition.

"You represent the strength of your respective countries. I hope you can show your best in the official selection competition. Therefore, the official selection competition will be held in one month!" Hiruza Sarutobi looked at the seven people in front of him with a tone of voice Said calmly.

"Excuse me, why is the official selection contest postponed until a month later?" Upon hearing Sarutobi Hiruzen's words, Takeuchi Koji asked inexplicably.

"As I said before, in the third exam, many daimyos and celebrities will be invited here as guests. This month is the preparation time. It is to inform the daimyos and ninja leaders from all over the world that the preselection is over. Come to watch the official selection!" Sarutobi Hiruzen replied calmly.

After taking a breath, Hiruzaru Sarutobi continued to speak eloquently: "At the same time, this month also gives you some time to prepare for the battle. After passing the previous two exams and the qualifiers just now, you will have a better understanding of your opponents in the official selection competition." You should have some understanding, and you can make targeted improvements in the next month!"

"Can we know the opponents in the official selection competition in advance?" After listening to Sarutobi Hiruzen, Echizen Kazuya asked calmly.

Hiruzaru Sarutobi nodded, and replied calmly: "Yes, the order of the battles in the official selection competition will be decided soon, and you can know who your opponent is in advance!"

"In the previous battle, although it was also an actual battle, it was against an opponent who didn't know their strength. But the official selection competition is different, because some candidates have already demonstrated their strength, so you can use the next month to do it. With the improvement of pertinence, we can also find ways to obtain more intelligence about the opponent, formulate better combat strategies, etc.!" Sarutobi Hiruza continued to introduce.

"Didn't those who didn't play in the qualifiers take advantage of it?" Takeuchi Koji asked.

"Yes, it will indeed take advantage of them, and their abilities will be better hidden, but this is also luck. Luck is a part of strength, and you didn't choose them as opponents in the qualifiers, and it was not out of respect for them. Are you sure about your strength?" Hiruzaru Sarutobi said with a smile.

"It doesn't matter, let's quickly decide the order of the battle!" Koji Takeuchi said with a smile as if he didn't care about the fact that the abilities of the four remained mysterious. He waved his hands confidently.

Echizen Kazuya also smiled slightly when he heard what he said. He probably knew why Takeuchi Koji didn't take it seriously, because although Takeuchi Koji played in the battle, his ability exposed was just the tip of the iceberg. Judging his strength through surgery, maybe he will be very happy.

"Well, let's start grouping now!" Hiruzaru Sarutobi gestured to Kaiichi Yamanaka.

"Each of you takes a note from this box." Haiyi Yamanaka walked past the seven candidates one by one with a box, and asked each of them to take a note from it.

"Now that everyone has received the slips, let's report the numbers on their respective slips from left to right!" Seeing that the slips were divided, Ibiki Morino, who was in charge of the registration, said seriously.

Qiu Daoyi who was standing on the farthest side opened the note in his hand, took a look, then showed the note, and said loudly, "Mine is No. 2."

"Mine is No. 8." Echizen Kazuya, who was standing beside Akimichito, said with a smile.

"No. 3." Itachi Uchiha showed the note in his hand and said calmly.

Hinata Tetsushi looked at the note and said in a deep voice, "Mine is number 4!"

The next Kami Riyako, Takeuchi Koji and Shiromaru are No. 7, No. 1 and No. 5 respectively.

"Very good, then Nara Luyi is No. 6. According to the results of the draw just now, this is the order of the official selection competition!" Morino Ibiki quickly completed the record and made a form according to it.

"Group [-]: Takeuchi Koji vs. Akido Yoshito; Group [-]: Tetsushi Hinata vs. Itachi Uchiha; Group [-]: Shiromaru vs. Nara Kazuya; Group [-]: Kami Riya vs. Echizen Kazuya!"

Echizen Kazuya and the others immediately looked at the form displayed by Morino Ibiki, and clearly saw the result of the battle.

Echizen Kazuya saw that the opponent was Kami Riya, and turned his head to smile at Kami Riya from Yuyin Village, but it surprised Kami Riya who had just watched the battle groups.

"How could we be in a group with this pervert? It's bad luck!" Kami Riya was filled with sorrow when he saw the grouping of the battle, and his heart trembled when he saw Echizen Kazuya smiling at him. The candidate who was the first candidate to play in the qualifiers, the brutal scene of ending the opponent in three seconds left a deep impression on him.

"I didn't expect to be in a group with you, the genius of the Uchiha family, Uchiha Itachi! I can't wait for the official selection competition to come!" Hinata Tetsushi said to Uchiha Itachi proudly, with a tone of voice Strong confidence and anticipation.

Tetsushi Hyuga is 17 years old this year, and he is one of the outstanding young people of the Hyuga clan, but his reputation is completely incomparable with Itachi Uchiha’s. He is also a child of the big family of Konoha Village, Tetsushi Hyuga is of course not convinced by Itachi Uchiha Yes, I have long wanted to let Uchiha Itachi see the power of the Hyuga family.

"I'm also looking forward to fighting with you." Itachi Uchiha smiled and said flatly.

"I'm going to fight that man who looks very powerful. He also knows the Tudun-Tulong Spear, so I won't be the same as Lu Yi when I fight with him. It's really scary to think about it." Qiu Daoyi Glancing at Takeuchi Koji, he whispered to Echizen Kazuya.

"Then you should eat more food this month. I think as long as you have enough energy reserves, you can win no matter who you are facing!" Echizen Kazuya said with a smile.

"Well, it's true. I passed the first two exams, so I must go home and have a big meal." After hearing about the food-related matters, Qiu Daoyi let go of all his troubles and said happily. A simple good boy.

"I have a question. The official selection competition is a knockout competition, so there should be only one winner in the end. Is it possible that only one of the so many people who participated in the Chunin selection test this time can become a Chunin?" Koji Takeuchi was puzzled asked.

"No, that's not the case!" Hearing Koji Takeuchi's doubts, Hiruzaru Sarutobi immediately denied: "The judges for this official selection are composed of all the daimyo and the chiefs of Ninja Village, including me. The performance in the knockout round will make an absolute evaluation of you, and ultimately determine whether you have the qualifications to become a Chunin."

In the end, Sarutobi Hiruzen concluded in a dignified tone: "So, even if you lose in the first round, you may still become a Chunin. Conversely, even if you win the final championship, you may not be able to become a Chunin!"
