Konoha's dog is happy

Among the eight duels before Xiao Li's duel, the biggest change was in the pairing of Hinata and Neji.

As the close brother of the twelve little heroes, Saitama not only enlightened Naruto and Sasuke, he also naturally enlightened Neji, a problem child.

Saitama not only enlightened Neji, but also went to Hinata and Hinata, hoping that he could explain to Neji what had happened.

After Saitama's spiritual meal of family affection, Hinata Hizashi also agreed to his request.

On the night of Neji's graduation, Hinata Hizashi told him everything about Neci's father, Hinata Hizashi.

Neji, who was almost comforted by Saitama, also untied the knot in his heart for many years after learning the causes and consequences of his father's suicide.

As for Hinata, a little girl, since Saitama has been organizing gatherings of the Twelve Xiaoqiang, she has a fairly good relationship with his cousin.

In addition, Naruto is already very strong now, so when he defeated Kiba, it was not as difficult or as emotional as in the original work.

During the time Hinata spent with Saitama, she learned a little bit about assessing the situation.

In the duel between her and Ningji, after her skills were about the same, she found that her strength was indeed worse than Ningji's.

So after Neji finally blocked her movement, she simply gave up.

Therefore, these two people can be regarded as a relatively easy group to fight.

After all, we are a family. After both parties recognize their strength, there is no need to fight to the death.

Saitama also felt very pleased to see this duel between the two of them.

Only when you are alive can you have hope, and only when you are alive can you have output.

It seems that this group of enthusiastic young people have more or less listened to my theory.

After Hinata and Neji's showdown, it's time for Xiao Li's showdown.

After Hinata and the others left the stage, Moonlight Hayate, the consumptive host, came directly to the center of the venue.

"The next ninth duel is between Gaara from Sunagakure Village and Rock Lee from Konoha Village."

"Now please let the two ninjas come on stage quickly. Your duel will begin in one minute."

After Moonlight Hayate finished speaking, Gaara walked to the center of the field.

After just waiting for a while, no one saw Xiao Li coming.

Neji, who had just come off the field, looked around the players' bench and didn't see Xiao Li.

Tiantian, who was a little anxious on the side, even asked his teammates who were still in the contestants' seats one by one.

After asking around to no avail, Tenten came to Neji again.

"Neji, they don't even know where Xiao Li is."

"The referee has started counting the seconds, what should I do?"

Moonlight Gale has indeed begun to count down the seconds.

"six."

"five."

"Four."

"three."

"Slowly, slowly, I'm coming, I'm coming."

With Akai's help, Xiao Li finally arrived at the entrance.

Seeing Xiao Li walking over with such a sick look, Yueguang Gale couldn't bear to ask.

"Xiao Li, what's wrong with you? Can we still compete?"

"If you really can't compare, just give up."

Xiao Li also thought about giving up, but he didn't want to quit every time.

"No, I can hold on."

How can you persist?

Moonlight Gale couldn't bear to complain in his heart when he saw Xiao Li's trembling legs and haggard face.

However, as a referee, since the players said they could still compete, he could only announce the start.

"Okay, the two ninjas are ready."

"I declare."

"Wait, wait, referee, wait a moment."

Xiao Li suddenly felt a pain in his stomach, and he quickly held his stomach in pain to stop the referee from calling start.

Guru

After calling the referee to stop, Xiao Li originally wanted to hold on a little longer, but there was a loud bang in his stomach and he couldn't bear it anymore.

Xiao Li didn't even have time to say anything, so he quickly covered his butt and ran to the toilet.

"This"

Seeing Xiao Li leaving in embarrassment, Moonlight Gale didn't know what to say for a moment.

After all, he is not a professional host like A Le, and his ability to adapt to situations is not very good.

After seeing Xiao Li rushing to the toilet again, Akai looked at the moonlight blast in the center of the field and finally walked over.

"Referee, my disciple is unwell and I abstain on his behalf."

"All right"

Moonlight Blast also expected that in the situation Xiao Li was in just now, he simply could not continue the game.

After Akai exited the court, Moonlight Hayate picked up the phone again and spoke.

"Sorry, everyone saw our ninja just now."

"Due to his physical discomfort, his teacher also abstained on his behalf just now."

"So the winner of this duel is Gaara from Sunagakure Village."

After hearing Moonlight Blast announce the result of the duel, the twelve young masters in the player seats all knew that this result could not be changed.

Naruto felt even more pity.

"Ugh"

"Obviously Xiao Li is very strong, but it ended like this."

After Naruto sighed, he ran to Neji and Tenten.

"Neji, Tenten, do you know what happened to Xiao Li?"

"Looking at him, he feels like he has diarrhea."

"do not know."

Tiantian really didn't know that before her own game started, she found that Xiao Li was missing.

But they couldn't leave the table at will, so she didn't know what happened to Xiao Li.

Neji on the side did the same, but he just nodded.

Saitama, who had been watching the battle from the civilian VIP seats, was secretly relieved at this time.

In fact, Xiao Li's game in the original work did not play any positive role in his life.

He has been working very hard, but he really doesn't need this fundamental-breaking duel to temper him.

But this time he was unable to engage in this duel, but it played a vital positive role in his future life.

After Choji's duel ended, the preliminaries officially came to a successful conclusion.

Up to now, it can be said that Saitama's plan is basically going smoothly.

What happened next was not as important as what happened to Xiao Li this time.

However, he will still carry out what he has to do according to the original plan.

"Xiao Li, how are you?"

After all the duels were over, Naruto and the other pretty good guys came to the hospital to see Xiao Li.

That's right, the hospital.

After the preliminaries, Xiao Li breathed a sigh of relief as he wanted to fight for the last time, and lay in Akai's arms without any strength.

Seeing Xiao Li fainted, Akai quickly sent Xiao Li to the hospital.

Of course Saitama, who planned the whole thing, also came to the hospital to visit Xiao Li.

Seeing Xiao Li's haggard look, Saitama also felt very guilty.

It seemed that the medicine was still a bit heavy.

But there was nothing he could do. If he didn't lower the weight, he was worried that Xiao Li would really survive.

After all, this is a hot-blooded comic. As long as there is passion, anything can happen.

In order to ensure that Xiao Li really couldn't play, he administered a drug equivalent to knocking out a Jonin.

Although it is a bit heavy, the effect of the medicine wears off quickly and there are basically no side effects.

Xiao Li was also very moved when he saw everyone coming to see him.

"thank you all"

"It's a pity that I couldn't have a wonderful showdown with you this time."

“But seeing everyone’s encouragement, I will definitely win it back in the future.”

"In order to make up for this shortcoming, I will work harder to practice until my body will no longer have inexplicable problems."

All the friends present were moved.

In particular, his teacher Akai came over and hugged him.

"Xiao Li, youth is tempered and grown through various accidents."

"I believe that with this experience, you will become stronger in the future."

"Xiao Li, when you get better, come and burn your youth with me."

"Okay, Teacher Akai"

A scene of deep master-disciple love was presented directly in front of everyone.

There were a few who couldn't bear it and didn't even want to say anything anymore, so they just left the ward, including Saitama.

In the ward, only two hot-blooded funny guys, Naruto and Kiba, could endure it.

We have all visited, and everyone has gone back to their respective homes to find their respective mothers.

After everyone separated, Saitama noticed that Sasuke left with Kakashi again.

Without even thinking about it, I must be learning from Raikiri.

After all, after the preliminaries, there are only eighteen days left before the official showdown.

In the original work, it takes a full month.

However, this reduction in time also caused Sasuke to have to practice Raikiri more arduously.

In fact, this was Saitama's suggestion, and the third generation agreed without much thought.

Moreover, the third generation himself felt that there was no need to delay every Chuunin exam for too long.

Anyway, Konoha's invitation letter was sent out a long time ago.

Those big shots will arrive in advance by then. Now even if the third generation wants to change the time, it will be too late.
