Soul of Naruto wears Rock Lee

Chapter 19 Obtaining Qualifications

Three people rushed to hand over the scroll, fearing that they would be a step behind. Among them was Steel King Wolf's companion, Nara Shikaku, who took all the orders. The other ninjas who had listened to the reminder of the ninja who opened the door and had no intention of putting it on the scroll suddenly regretted it.

"Damn it, we were lied to!"

"Those damn proctors!"

With the four scrolls in hand, after weighing them gently, Nara Shikaku said to everyone present: "The purpose of this election is to select the qualifications. Based on your performance, I am actually very disappointed."

His voice was slightly deeper, yet dignified.

One of the embarrassed people was indignant and retorted: "No. [-] training ground is not something we genin can compete with. If it were another training ground, we would definitely be able to complete it easily!"

Nara Shikaku glanced at the ninja who spoke out, shook his head and sighed, threw the four scrolls behind his hands, stretched and yawned.

After doing this, he slowly looked at the genin who had spoken.

"Loyalty, righteousness, and wisdom are the purposes of this campaign. It is advocated by Hokage-sama. In this campaign, Shuichiro, you will not be able to get involved in any of them."

Shuichiro wanted to continue to refute, but Nara Shikaku's tone suddenly changed and he said coldly: "Ignoring the dissuasion of my companions, I used ninjutsu, causing vegetation riots, causing two companions to be seriously injured. Is this right? This is unjust!"

Xiu Yilang opened his mouth and held back what he wanted to say.

"Your companion is injured, but you insist on going your own way, ignoring the injury of your companion and continuing to stimulate the vegetation. This is unwise!"

"Am I right?"

"Finally, where is your scroll? You listened to the person who opened the door, chose to steal the chicken, and ignored the scroll. This is disloyal!"

Xiu Yilang was completely stunned, and his whole body began to tremble.

"You...how do you know this!"

Nara Shikaku chuckled and explained: "Because each of your teams is surrounded by proctors, so your every move is under my control."

Shuichiro's face instantly turned pale as paper, and Nara Shikaku's words were like a needle piercing his last fig leaf.

During the trial, he did disregard the safety of his companions and committed many irreparable actions.

Xiao Li bumped into Ningji: "Did you just use your eyes to detect the hidden surveillance ninja?"

"I found it, any questions?"

Seeing his confident expression, Xiao Li had the urge to hit him. If there were surveillance personnel present, then who would they save? Fake!

What a waste of time!

Nara Shikaku didn't want to waste his energy on Shuichiro, so he gave a simple explanation of loyalty, righteousness, and wisdom to everyone.

"Loyalty, test your ability to execute the mission."

"Righteousness, the friendship of mutual trust between companions, and whether you have the belief to sacrifice for your companions at any time."

"Zhi, I don't need to tell you, is there anyone here who carefully observes the weaknesses of the wild vegetation?"

"Of all your people, I only see this in Akaiban."

Everyone was speechless.

Xiao Li secretly rejoiced, but did not show anything, and still took Nara Shikaku's sermon seriously.

Tiantian suddenly approached Xiao Li and said cautiously: "Xiao Li, the examiner, speaks so harshly, I'm a little scared."

Xiao Li was speechless for a while: "You didn't make any mistakes, so what are you afraid of?"

"Okay, I've said too much, and you don't like to hear it. After my personal decision, the quota for this Five Nations United Tournament will be attended by Akaiban to represent Konoha."

Nara Shikaku suddenly announced the results, catching everyone off guard, and many people couldn't keep up with his thinking.

"Great, Xiao Li, we succeeded!"

Tiantian cried with joy and hugged Xiao Li. Neji turned away and breathed a sigh of relief.

"and many more!"

someone shouted.

Nara Shikaku knew that some people would question him, so he had been mentally prepared for it.

"What? Have an opinion?"

"Examiner Shikaku, each country has sent three teams. If there is only Akaiban, what about the other two teams?"

"Yeah, where are the other two teams?"

"Yes, yes, according to the rules you told us, we only recognize the first three scrolls. Even if one does not count, there are still two!"

The team that turned in the scroll questioned and protested.

Just kidding, this kind of honorable act of representing the village in the competition, even if it is just a genin level, once you are qualified to participate, let alone whether you can win, you can make a name for yourself in the genin circle.

Nara Shikaku sneered: "The so-called three teams are just a cover. The original meaning is to select the three strongest teams and then select one of the three. Only one team is truly qualified to participate. If there is really The other two are like Akaiban, so they will enter the stage of strength competition, whoever wins will enter the competition."

"How can this be done? It's not fair!"

"Yeah, then what's the point of our hard campaign!"

"You are violating our rights as ninjas! We want to protest!"

Although Nara Shikaku just said it to everyone's face, everyone felt guilty, but in order to qualify for the competition, they must not compromise easily.

"Are you finished?"

Standing next to Nara Shikaku, Yamanaka Haiichi frowned. He found that his long-time friend's tone had changed, which meant that he was annoyed and angry.

"Hmph, don't think I don't know. Some of you obtained the scrolls and were able to get out of trouble with the help of Akaiban. Without them, are you confident that you will reach here?"

"Don't be so shameless to you!"

"To put it harshly, the Five Nations United Tournament is all about competing for fame and fortune. Friendship comes first and competition comes second. It's all nonsense. It's okay in Konoha. Some people pity you, but what about the ninjas from other countries? I wish I could add insult to injury. !”

"How can you compete with others like this?"

"You will lose Konoha's face if you go out!"

.......

Nara Shikaku became angrier as he spoke. Yamanaka Haiichi held down his arm and reminded him: "Shikaku, you've gone too far. They are still genin after all."

Well, after a scolding, everyone fell into the mute stage again. Some were ashamed, some were aggrieved, and some were even more angry. Xiao Li observed quietly, and strange thoughts came to his mind.

"If Nara Shikaku was not a jounin, would he be beaten to death? Speaking so humiliatingly?"

Neji had been observing Nara Shikaku who was cursing, and he had a disgusting thought in his heart: "This jounin talks like a crane, which is very unpleasant."

After his anger subsided a little, Nara Shikaku waved his hand: "Rock Lee, Hyuga Neji, Tenten, the three of you come with me, the Third Hokage wants to see you."

..........

On the roof of the Hokage Tower, Metkai folded his hands and kept praying.

"Are you still here waiting for news?"

Kakashi suddenly appeared, startling him, and he looked sad when he regained consciousness.

"There are so many previous genin, and the three of you, Xiao Li, have just graduated and are far from experienced. It would be strange not to worry."

"Lack of experience?"

Kakashi disagreed with this.

He has just received the list of qualified teams.

"If we are inexperienced, how can we get Mr. Shikaku to directly declare that they will fight on behalf of Konoha, eliminating the need to choose one of the three battles? They are not like what you said."

Just when Metkai was about to refute, he found something wrong with Kakashi's words and hesitated: "You just said that Mr. Shikaku announced that they will represent Konoha in the war? Are you referring to Xiao Li and the others?"

Kakashi nodded and smiled: "Congratulations, your student has become famous."

"Woooooo~"

There were tears in the corners of Metkai's eyes, and the tears of youth flowed down. Kakashi wanted to step forward to comfort his excited mood, but suddenly a pair of arms hugged him tightly.

"Kakashi, I love you so much!"

Kakashi: "......"

The cool breeze was blowing. Izumo and Zite took advantage of their rest to go to the roof of the Hokage Building, ready to smoke two cigarettes to refresh themselves. As soon as they reached the top floor, they saw a scene that they would never forget in their lives.

"Izumo?"

"go!"

The two of them stepped back and hid in a corner to observe quietly.

"I can't believe who Mr. Kakashi and Mr. Akai are..."
