go to his hokage dream

Chapter 59 The Preliminaries Begin

The next morning, Naruto and the others were standing neatly in the hall of the tower, waiting for the next third exam to start.

In front of them was Konoha, all the examiners so far, as well as a group of Jnin elites including Kakashi and the others, and of course, Konoha's village chief, Hiruza Sarutobi.

The five-day time limit for the second test survival trial has passed, and the team that can stand here at this moment are all candidates who have passed the trial.

Originally, the number of people participating in the second test was 78 people in 26 groups. After five days of survival and fighting for the scrolls, there are currently 21 people in 7 groups, and the elimination rate is close to two-thirds.

Naruto looked around at the 21 people including them, and found that it was almost the same as in the plot. Konoha's twelve Xiaoqiangs all passed, followed by Sand Yin's trio, Otonin trio, and the group where Kabuki was. Group.

"Konoha Fang and Orochimaru are almost half in power, this Konoha Village is really a sieve..." The three Sain who were originally here to make trouble, plus the undercover agent and Dou who belonged to Orochimaru Otoshi Village , Naruto couldn't help complaining about Konoha's defense level, anyone can get in.

However, these have little to do with him. In the Konoha collapse that may occur later, he only needs to protect Hinata and it will be over. The ninja school where Iruka is in is a key protection target no matter what level of combat readiness Konoha is in. , any disturbance will immediately enter the fortifications inside Hokage Rock, so he doesn't have to worry about it.

"Everyone, first of all congratulations on passing the second exam, although there are more people than I expected..."

At this time, Hongdou, the chief examiner of the second round, stepped forward first and announced their results. At the same time, they were as bad as ever. It seemed that even if the elimination rate was more than two-thirds, she still could not satisfy her. The reason for encountering Orochimaru on the way.

"...Now I would like to ask Hokage-sama to personally explain the appropriateness of the third exam..." Under the reminder of the coughing of the third generation, Hongdou stopped venting her temper and made way sideways, but in the end she still did not forget to speak loudly to Naruto and the others These candidates shouted: "Quiet! You have to listen carefully to me!"

It can be seen that the sudden appearance of Orochimaru and the recurrence of the curse mark still make her quite unhappy until now. This is a straightforward person, and all emotions are written on his face.

"It's a pity, that guy Orochimaru was cowardly, and I planned to watch a good show." Naruto thought with regret in his heart at this time.

He remembered that in the plot, Orochimaru appeared here blatantly disguised as the ninja mentor of the Oto nin group. He even searched for a long time, but this time Orochimaru did not appear.

It's really disappointing. It's not easy to get together the lineup at this time. All the examiners of Konoha plus Kakashi, Kaihuang, Asma and other elite jnin, even three generations of old men are there. He really wants to Knowing what kind of high-energy scene it will be if he exposes Orochimaru face to face, it must be exciting.

"Before I talk about the rules, I want to tell you the true meaning of the Chunin Exam—that is, the epitome of the war between the allied countries!" The third generation came to the front, and did not say some scenes as expected, but directly asked the questions and asked Let go of violence.

The general idea is that in order to avoid unnecessary loss of combat power and a situation where both sides suffer, the allies agreed to take the Chunin exam together.

This exam is not only for the selection of outstanding talents, but also a place for countries to compete and show their strength. In the main match one month later, the names and task entrusters of each country will be present. The outcome at that time is very likely to affect the future. The tasks of each village, and then expanded to the economic level and overall strength.

"...The strength of the ninja is the strength of the village, the strength of the village is the strength of the country, and the strength of the ninja can only be manifested in desperate battles." The third generation smiled at the candidates who were stunned by these words. He smiled, and finally said: "So, for your respective dreams and the prestige of the village, go risk your life and fight!"

As expected of a character in the ninja world, just a few words ignited the enthusiasm of all the examinees. Naruto standing in the crowd could feel that, including Sasuke next to him, the fighting spirit of everyone on Konoha's side Intention was fully aroused.

For the sake of the village and for the dream, such a slogan can be said to hit the hearts of young strongmen of this age. Of course, this naturally does not include old fritters like Naruto. Apparently the comparison doesn't catch a cold.

The latter is not like Naruto, a young man with no dreams on the inside, like an old salted fish, nor does it mean that they don't love their own village, but they are not here to compete legitimately, but to turn the table.

Thinking of this, Naruto couldn't help but sympathize with the Third Hokage. For him, the development of the next thing can be said to be a leak in the house and rain all night. Bad things happen one after another until the pillar of Konoha is completely washed away.

But Naruto then thought about it, this can actually be said to be the result of the third generation's own fault. If he had killed the killer when he defected in Orochimaru, it would not be the case now, so this trivial sympathy disappeared in a flash. up.

He found that the three-generation old man is really a complicated person. If you say he is a woman, he can sit back and watch the Uchiha clan be almost wiped out, including countless innocent people.

However, judging from his compassion for Orochimaru and various laissez-faire performances towards Danzo, he really can't talk about how ruthless, decisive and scheming he is, giving people the feeling that the third generation is like the combination of the first generation and the second generation. The same as the body, on the one hand, it inherited the will of fire and fraternity of the first generation, and on the other hand, it also inherited some of the second generation's methods of dealing with problems that could threaten the village.

However, it is obvious that neither of them has learned the core of it, and it shows that they appear to be indecisive and indecisive on some major issues of right and wrong.

In Naruto's view, the third generation's behavior of letting go of Orochimaru was outrageous. Orochimaru was not as simple as defecting. What the guy committed was the crime of killing his compatriots. I don't know how many Konoha ninjas were used by him as human bodies Experiment, this can be let go of it is the real reason why Naruto feels that the third generation is hypocritical.

Aren't you the so-called "Parent" of Konoha?You always say that everyone in the village is an important part of you, and it turns out that this is the solution when things happen?This made those Konoha ninjas who worked hard to practice for the village, but failed to die on the battlefield but died on the operating table of Orochimaru, how embarrassing, and who will calm their angry souls.

It is also because of this that when he was questioned after his resurrection, not only did he not know the reason for the resurrection, but he also knew about Orochimaru's Konoha collapse plan but didn't mention it.

He doesn't like Orochimaru, and if conditions permit, he doesn't mind causing some troubles for him, but compared to the third generation, at least Orochimaru is evil enough and straightforward, and his purpose is much simpler, just a person who wants to live forever and does whatever he can.

To say that what Naruto is most curious about now is actually the reaction of Orochimaru after he knew that he was resurrected from the dead. It's that scene.

"Forgive me for being rude...ahem... Hokage-sama, please leave it to me." While sneaking by Naruto's side, a young ninja with thick dark circles stepped forward and took the third test Responsibilities of the preliminaries and referees.

It was Moonlight Hayate who had a very short appearance in the original plot and received a lunch box very quickly.

"Next is the qualifiers, as you have heard just now, the third test will be held under the watch of VIPs, but the current number of people is too much, ahem, the time is limited and we can't procrastinate too much, so if there is a waiver You can bring it up immediately, the following competition is a matter of life and death."

After getting the nod from the third generation, this man who obviously looked like "the body has been hollowed out" turned around and introduced the rules of the third exam to them.

The meaning is obvious, in order to ensure the spectatorship and duration of the main game one month later, it is necessary to select the best of them and eliminate some of them.

As soon as Moonlight Hayate's voice fell, Naruto subconsciously looked towards the "undercover team" where Kato was.

"That... I abstain."

As expected, as an important executor of Orochimaru's Konoha collapse plan, Tobu obviously did not intend to expose his strength in full view, so he first raised his hand and abstained.

However, unlike in the plot, Dou’s abstention did not attract too much attention from everyone. After all, because of Naruto’s existence, in the entire second exam, Dou did not find a chance to approach them at all, so including Sasuke Sakura , and no one responded.

"Go back, go back and tell Orochimaru that I'm still alive, and I promise to give him a big surprise next time." Watching the back of Dou leaving, Naruto's eyes flashed a cold look, and he said silently in his heart.

Is there any reason not to avenge one's death?Regardless of whether he killed himself before, this one of the Sannin will be his enemy for a long time to come.

"Ahem...then we will start a one-on-one actual combat competition, and the winner can advance to the real third test." After taking out the roster and crossing out the name of the pharmacist, Yueguang Galefeng confirmed that no one abstained. After that, the start of the qualifiers was officially announced.

There were seven groups of 21 people, and those who had abstained from voting were able to compete for ten rounds. At the same time, the large screen hanging high in the hall began to scroll, and two names appeared in the center of the screen after a while.

The first round, [Uchiha Sasuke VS Red Copper Armor]!
