Konoha starts with a young bird

Chapter 374 The Game Begins

But the next moment, a wry smile appeared on the corner of Jiraiya's mouth.

"Hayate, there's no need to do this. He is an orphan of the fourth generation, and he can be regarded as my grandson. Even if you don't ask me, I will teach him ninjutsu. Nine-tailed Jinchuriki, if used properly, is the village's absolute trump card. I am Can't fail to see that."

Zhou Lai just stared at Zilai and didn't speak, he felt that Zilai didn't take the Son of Prophecy's statement seriously.Deliberately avoid talking about this topic again.

Wave your hand.

"I'll leave this kid to you. You can live wherever you want. Anyway, I should go back anyway. But you'd better go to the third-generation adults, so that you can make a decision for your future plans."

Ji Lai also frowned, he heard the intriguing taste in Zhou Lai's tone, it seemed that he was revealing something to him.

"Farewell!" He was not polite to Zhou Lai either, he picked up Naruto next to him and disappeared in a flash.

Looking at the hazy street lights outside, Zhou Lai drank the mellow fragrance in his hand in one gulp,

"Tomorrow will be another fierce battle! Alas!"

.

.

According to the usual chunin competition rules, the number of advanced chunin should be judged according to the quality of the candidates of the year.

If the strength of this year's candidates is generally weak, the examiner thinks that his strength is not enough to become a Chunin. Even if you get the first place in the final exam, you may not be able to become a Chunin.

But if the strength of this exam is relatively strong, even if you lose to your opponent in the final group arena, it is still possible to advance to Chunin.

In this year's competition, Zhou Lai visually judged that as long as the top ten are selected, they can all advance to Chunin.If there are some outstanding performances, he can also apply to the third generation,
Back then, he was discovered by Eagle because of the Chunin Examination, and he applied to the third generation to be transferred to Anbu.Although to a large extent, Eagle took a fancy to Zhou Lai's through-dun.

Due to the advance of the game, the group arena that was originally held indoors was also replaced outside the arena.

In the Konoha competition arena, the surrounding spectators were extremely enthusiastically staring at the contestants slowly entering the arena below.

Under the leadership of Chunin, they entered their respective preparation areas in sequence.

With familiar figures appearing and disappearing one by one, the cheers on the field wave after wave like a tide.

Zhou Lai even wondered if they could tell which one was their own ninja.It's purely to follow the pictures and liven up the atmosphere.

At the highest point of the arena, the red flag of the Land of Fire and the blue flag of the Land of Wind stand behind them.

Below are two high-end wooden desks, each with a cup of good tea on a red tablecloth.

The Third Hokage and the Fourth Kazekage, who were dressed in Hokage's royal robe, exchanged friendly greetings, their old faces were filled with kindness, as if they were old friends who had been reunited for a long time, cherishing each other and hating seeing each other late
Behind each of them, two tall and burly ninjas each held a bamboo hat in their hands.

The word Fenghuo is eye-catching.

There are less than 2 minutes left before the start of the game.

Swish!
Zhou Lai, who was dressed in emerald green combat uniform, had just arrived at the scene, and behind him was a sweaty Sasuke.

"It's not too late," Zhou Lai hurriedly looked at the big screen on the other side of the arena. The time on it was less than one minute and fifty seconds before eight o'clock.

"Slow down, the third generation may throw you into Anbu again."

Anbu in a beige windbreaker appeared next to Zhou Lai, with a pattern of an eagle's head on the mask.

"It's okay, okay, good luck." Zhou Lai grinned, looking at the eagle next to him triumphantly.

"Cut." With a soft snort, the eagle disappeared from where it was.He has other tasks to attend to.There is no time to pay attention to Zhou Lai.

Zhou Lai sorted out his facial expressions and looked at the clothes that fit him. He asked for the clothes temporarily when he went to the administration department this morning. He has never applied for a combat uniform.

On such a big occasion today, he can no longer wear any home clothes.

Boom!
On the large electronic screen, the minute and second hands pointed to the number twelve at the same time, and a crisp crash sounded instantly in the lively arena.

The surrounding audience immediately quieted down.

At the same time, Zhou Lai's figure also appeared in the middle of the arena.

"Cough!" A light cough containing Chakra began to spread around.

Immediately attract the surrounding audience.

Sidai Fengying who was sitting on a high place shrank his pupils, and looked at Zhou Lai who appeared in the middle of the field with strange eyes.

"The third match of the Chunin Exam is a standard group arena! I will be the referee to judge the outcome of the match. The third Hokage-sama and the fourth Kazekage-sama will supervise the progress of the match!"

boom.
The moment Zhou finished speaking, there was a burst of cheers from below.As the supreme leader of a village, he naturally has a unique influence in the village.

"Can the three-generation adult competition start?"

Zhou Lai handed over the start time of the game to the third generation.

The third generation looked at the fourth Kazekage next to him.

The Fourth Generation Windbreaker nodded peacefully.

Three generations nodded and waved their hands,
"Game start!"

The chakra-containing voice quickly swept across the arena, and the already extremely lively crowd became even more ebullient.

The headshots of the contestants began to flash quickly on the electronic screen.

"The first game," Zhou Lai said, staring at the change in the avatar above.

"Hinata Neji vs. Uzumaki Naruto!"

The moment the avatar stopped, Zhou Lai's voice filled the venue.

"En? Call me again?" Naruto looked at Sakura next to him suspiciously.

"Come on!" Sakura changed her usual violent personality and made a gesture of cheering for Naruto.

"Oh! Come on!!" Naruto seemed to have received some great encouragement, and he stood up on the spot with a jerk.

Looking at Kakashi and Sasuke next to him.

"come on!"

"come on!"

Although the two of them didn't hold much information about Naruto, they still had to give them some encouragement.

"By the way, who is my opponent?" Naruto, who was about to jump off the auditorium, paused, and looked at Kakashi behind him suspiciously.

Kakashi "."

Sasuke "."

Sakura "."

"Hey, it doesn't matter, as long as it's not thick eyebrows, I will blow them up!"

Naruto, who was instantly killed by the thick eyebrows before, was not arrogant enough to be insane.

The body jumped down in a flash.

The three above looked at Naruto worriedly.

the other side,
"Ningji! You are on the safe side!"

Kai put on the appearance of the other party that I am most familiar with, and patted Ning Ci on the shoulder with a smile on his face.

"Teacher Kai, I will work hard!"

"Uh-huh!"

Watching Neji off, Kai looked provocatively at Kakashi on the other side.

Kakashi didn't need to look to know what this guy was thinking.They ignored each other.

Seeing the two figures appearing on the arena, Zhou Lai looked at Naruto with the same worried expression, because the two are no longer at the same level at all.
