Konoha Tekken Ning invincible

Pre-selection ends in the evening.

The nine people who advanced to the third exam are: Uchiha Sasuke, Hyuga Neji, Tenten, Rock Lee, Uzumaki Naruto, Nara Shikamaru, Aburame Shino, Sakashi, and Terunomaru.

There are nine people in total, the first seven are Konoha ninjas, the last one is a sound ninja, and the other is a sand ninja.

After the list came out, Neji was not surprised.

Without the participation of the Gaara trio, the strength of other villages would still not be comparable to Konoha.

"Congratulations to everyone for successfully advancing to the third exam."

After the preliminaries, the qualified people gathered again, and after Moonlight Hayate expressed his congratulations, the Third Hokage announced the official rules of the competition.

"The official competition will be held in one month. This period of time will be left for you to prepare."

The so-called preparation is naturally to check and fill in the gaps based on the pre-selected battle situation.

Try to make up for your shortcomings and prepare more moves.Because in the official competition, no one will hide their tricks anymore, and the battle will be more dangerous than now.

"For the sake of fairness, please work hard this month." Sandai said, "Of course, you can also choose to rest, it's all up to you."

That being said, no one would use this precious time to rest.

Not even Neji would.

Then, the examiner of the second exam, Mitarashi Anko, took out a cardboard box.

Draw lots.

Nine people were drawn in turn. After Neji finished drawing, he looked and saw "9" on the note.

"The number determines your matchup in the official game."

The examiner of the first exam, Ibiki, will take out the battle map.

No. 1 Aburame Shino VS No. 2 Terunomaru

No. 3 Tiantian VS No. 4 Sack Stirrup

No. 5 Uzumaki Naruto VS No. 6 Nara Shikamaru

No. 7 Uchiha Sasuke VS No. 8 Rock Lee

No. 9 has a bye and goes directly to the next round to face off against the winner between No. 7 and No. 8.

As soon as the matchup diagram came out, several people looked at their opponents.

Neji looked at the "Card No. 9" in his hand with some amusement. Why did he get the bye? This looked like a behind-the-scenes operation.

Could it be that he felt that no one had a chance of winning against him, so he was simply kept out of the first round?This way you can also see more about the performance of other candidates...

Forget it.

It didn't matter if he had to fight less, but Neji felt it was easier.

What surprised him the most was the duel between Naruto and Shikamaru. The most "stupid" one faced the most "smart" one, which was really interesting.

In addition, the duel between Xiao Li and Sasuke also made him very concerned, as well as the stirrup between Tiantian and Oto Nin...

It's all fun, but only if the exam goes well.

The question is, can it?

……

In the Hokage's office, many jounin gathered.

In addition to the third generation and jounin, there was only one genin in the room, and it was Neji.

As the person who provided information about the tailed beasts, he was allowed to attend this Jonin meeting by the third generation as an exception.

"It is now basically confirmed that Sunagakure has a plan that is detrimental to Konoha." As soon as the third generation spoke, the atmosphere in the room became tense.

Sarutobi Asuma, like his father, is also a heavy smoker, holding the pipe in his mouth: "So, do you want to prepare for war?"

At this time, an ANBU reported: "Hokage-sama, we have not yet discovered that the Suna Ninja has assembled ninja troops at the border."

"Yeah." The third generation nodded, "It's still unclear what the enemy's plan is. But... Kakashi, you tell me."

"Yes."

Kakashi stood up at this time and surprised everyone when he opened his mouth.

"I suspect that Orochimaru may be related to Suna Ninja's action."

"Orochimaru?!"

"He is back……"

"How come Orochimaru and Suna Ninja are related?"

Kakashi continued: "According to the information currently available, Orochimaru killed the candidates who came to participate in the exam and pretended to be candidates. In the second exam, he purposefully found Sasuke and treated him He planted the curse seal."

"And it was also in the second exam." Kakashi glanced at Ningci. "Ningji discovered the jinchuriki of the sand ninja. The jinchuriki seemed to have escaped because he was worried about being hunted after transforming into a tailed beast. After that, the sand ninja Shinobu led the team, Jonin Maji, saying that the three candidates were feeling unwell, so they withdrew from the exam and returned to the village. But this was obviously an excuse."

After Kakashi said this, the jounin all fell into thinking.

"However, from this information, we can't see the connection between Suna Ninja and Orochimaru." Yuhi Kurenai said.

"Yes, but that's a bit too coincidental."

"There are very few true coincidences in the world. Most of them are premeditated." Sandai took a puff of smoke.Suddenly he asked Neci cheerfully: "Ningji, what do you think?"

The jounin all looked at the boy.

Now, Neji's height has jumped up again, over 1.7 meters, and he is completely in adult shape.Coupled with his strong strength and thoughtful thinking, no one will treat him like a child anymore.

Neji raised his eyes: "I don't think it's a coincidence either."

"Oh? Can you give us a reason?"

"My reason is very simple, that is, if there is no strong foreign aid, why would the Suna Ninja attack Konoha now?"

"........."

The Jonin looked at each other, don't tell me, this reason is simple, but it does make sense.

From the perspective of national strength, there is a gap between the Kingdom of Earth and the Kingdom of Fire.From the perspective of the Hidden Village, Konoha's strength has been increasing in recent years, while Sunagakure has been weakening.

Kakashi knows this best.Because back then, his father, Sakumo Hatake, known as the "White Fang of Konoha", personally killed a couple of Sunagakure's jounin masters, causing Sunagakure a lot of losses.Of course, this killing made Hatake Sakumoge famous and gave birth to a monster.

With the current strength of Sunagakure, as Neji said, how can it start a war with Konoha without foreign aid?Why do you believe there is a possibility of victory?

"Well, Neji is right. I don't think Sunagakure will attack Konoha without foreign aid." The third generation was very satisfied with the reasons given by Neji and nodded frequently.

Kurenai and Asuma looked at each other, they were lovers and they had the same feelings.Both of them could sense that the third generation seemed to have a special preference for Neji.

"It seems that Orochimaru is very likely to be the powerful foreign aid!" Kai said solemnly, "It's just that Orochimaru is very powerful. We don't know where he is hiding now. It's not easy to find him."

"It's not difficult either." Kakashi suddenly took over.

"why?"

"Because whether he is Sunagakure's foreign aid or not, Sasuke is among his targets. As long as he keeps an eye on Sasuke, there is no need to worry about Orochimaru not showing up."

"Well..." The third generation nodded again, "Kakashi is right too."

"However, what we need to be vigilant about is that there may be more Orochimaru people in the village." Kakashi said seriously, "We have already discovered that Kabuto Yakushi is his spy."

"Pharmacist pocket..."

"That kid from the enemy country who was picked up?"

"After the second exam, he didn't show up. Later in Sasuke's ward, he wanted to kidnap Sasuke, but I stopped him." Kakashi said, "But his strength should not be underestimated. There are several ANBU Died by his hand."

"..."

Death is a very depressing thing, especially when it is caused by a spy, which makes people even more angry.

There was silence in the room for a moment, and the third generation made a decision.

"I will send more people to monitor the border location with Sunagakure. In addition, I will also write a letter and send it to Sunagakure. If Kazekage knows the benefits and gives up the plan, then everything will be fine. If he persists... then we Konoha will definitely fight to the end!" A hint of sharpness flashed in the third generation's cloudy eyes.

The Jonin listened and nodded in unison.

Only Neji was not satisfied with this decision.

If I were Hokage...

Neji couldn't help but think: If I were the Hokage, I would simply use the trick, open the border, set up an ambush inside the territory, wait until Sunagakure's ninjas come in, and catch them all...and then make Sunagakure pay more, or even counterattack Sunagakure. impossible……

But he also understood that the way Sandai dealt with it was to avoid war.

However, if war could be avoided, would the world still be what it is now...
