My Hokage Journey

The duel was still in full swing, and with the flash of the big screen, groups of duels were moved onto the central stage.

There were less than [-] students on site, which seemed better than the previous [-] or so. In fact, it was not the case. Many students who had been deeply traumatized in the previous stage were basically unable to play.

There are also some civilian students who usually surrender automatically when they encounter certain popular players. It is not that they are under too much pressure, but that after witnessing the other party's last duel, their originally very high self-confidence was directly weakened. One point, or one point is too much.

Together, these two categories of people account for almost a quarter of the population.

Many people are just rushing to pass the first stage. Regarding the Book of Sealed Ninjutsu rewards in the second stage, they are more of a fish-in-the-water mentality, which is unrealistic.

……

Lu Ming was looking at the pineapple-headed boy in the audience with interest at this time. His handsome face lost a trace of laziness and gained a touch of determination.

Young people are like the rising sun, young people are like breasted tigers, young people need a little publicity... At this time, Nara Shikaku showed a rare side that should belong to him.

The boy who was leisurely watching the clouds rarely showed his claws at this moment!

The field was filled with crooked kunai and shurikens like flowers scattered by a goddess. Under the illumination of the light, shadows formed into pieces. Only the "zi" seals of her hands were seen, and the shadows underneath suddenly rushed into the forest of hidden weapons. ', like lightning refraction, the 'attack speed' doubled directly. Before the other party could react, the shadow was already in front of him in the blink of an eye.

Shadow imitation, success.

A smile appeared on Lujiu's face, and he walked straight towards his opponent. As he walked, a cyan sphere quietly appeared in his right hand...

If there was anyone on the field who cared about this duel the most, it was Shikaku's father, Shikamasa Nara.

I saw him holding the guardrail tightly with both hands and looking at his son in a daze. After a while, he suddenly laughed with joy. He finally understood, my son.

……

The knockout rounds were carried out very quickly, and the list of the top ten had already been announced. All the people present in the first group were present, and most of the rest were students from the family, except of course Minato and Lu Ming, the two ordinary people who were outliers.

None of the opponents Minato encountered were particularly strong and he won easily.

In the few games that Lu Ming won, he also met a customer who had sold scrolls before. The customer looked stunned when he saw him come on the stage, then smiled brightly and actively shouted surrender, making him dumbfounded for a moment.

The luckiest thing was the last one, where he was directly promoted without a bye, which made some civilian students even more envious and jealous of this student named Tanaka Lu Ming.

Except for Lu Ming's team and the three people in the first group, the remaining five positions are occupied by Uchiha, Hinata, Aburame, and Kurama. The last position is the Nara clan. You heard me right. , and a dark horse-Nara Shikaku.

Usually, the Nara clan as a control is used to cooperate with the stable spellcasting of the Akimichi or Yamanaka clan, and is not used as the main combat force.

This wave of Nara's qualifying also made the three families a little surprised and then greatly surprised. As the Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen was naturally happy to see this situation happen. For no other reason than that, the three families were all staunch Hokage parties.

The control of the shadow imitation technique combined with the practicality of the pills has been confirmed here in Nara Shikaku. It is no longer monotonous and can only rely on teammates for output. This also makes the Rasengan, a new A-level ninjutsu, really enter the hearts of these onlookers. in the field of vision.

It does not require any seals and has outstanding effectiveness in attacking difficult situations. Compared with the popular ninjutsu like Chidori, its concealment and suddenness are obviously better. Knowledgeable people immediately understand the advantages of this ninjutsu. and try to deduce its possibilities.

The conclusion drawn is, 'Versatile Ninjutsu'.

And when they learned that the creator of this ninjutsu was actually the black-haired boy in gray clothes not far away from the corner, everyone had the same expression on their faces - are you kidding me?

How could a student who hadn't graduated yet develop such a perfect and mature ninjutsu?

After they confirmed it again and again, they had to admit the fact no matter whether they believed it or not. Faced with this situation, they could only

It is convenient to blame all this on the word 'genius'.

Very few people paid attention to Lu Ming in the first few games, and he also won with simple and neat physical skills without any fancy, so these people didn't pay too much attention to him.

But it was different now. From time to time, he would feel the gazes of others, and he would feel surprised and have a headache. He didn't seem to be doing anything wrong...

Although it is all attention, some people feel differently. Just like the current Uchiha clan, their collective faces are as cold as frost. This young man's amazing talent can only further reflect their incompetence. Mi, five groups of people tried to fight one group, but they couldn't beat one group. They were all handed over. In the battle in the Forest of Death, a large number of Uchiha members were defeated, resulting in the current embarrassing situation of one out of ten.

It's just that the situation is like this, so we can only give in and watch the competition here to the end.

This should be the smallest number of Uchiha in history.

The top ten were gathered in place, and the big screen started to flash again. At this stage, everyone had put away their original attitude of watching. The top ten here could roughly represent the new batch of mainstays of Konoha in the future.

Of course, there is a prerequisite, if they can grow up safely.

There is always no shortage of geniuses. There are so many "lying geniuses" in Uncle Snake's research institute in later generations. I wonder what other uses the title of genius has besides attracting attention.

Of course, everything must be divided into two parts: for a big family, reputation is never too much, but for a ninja like Minato Luming, who was born as a commoner, if he had a choice, he might as well sell his halo and fame in exchange for it. Ordering steamed buns is a good idea.

Secondly, Lu Ming had to wade through this muddy water, because this was very critical. He needed to get one of the top three seats, otherwise his subsequent practice would be infinitely slowed down. Lack of time was a headache.

Any saving is ultimately a saving of time. Employees who produce more efficiently in the same amount of time will always be promoted and raised by their bosses. Similarly, how to accumulate more experience in the same amount of time? Lu Ming can't think of any other better way. The only way is 'multiple shadow clones'.

The disadvantages and advantages are obvious, but Lu Ming has already made his choice.

At this moment, he is more like an evil capitalist than a ninja. Once there is appropriate profit, people like him will become bold.

With a profit of 50.00%, he can take risks;

With a profit of [-]%, he dared to risk his life for it.

……

At this moment, the big screen stopped beating, and everyone's eyes naturally turned to the black-haired boy.

Haruno Kazama's face was full of expectation at this moment, while Minato nodded towards him.

He looked at his friends, turned around and muttered to himself: 'Is it finally my turn?'

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he didn't feel unnatural at all. He held the railing with one hand and fell from above.

This feeling is like stepping into the college entrance examination examination room calmly. Naturally, I can no longer be nervous, but feel more at ease.

The layout of the central tower is a rectangular surrounding tower about forty wide and eighty long. The space is vast. In the middle is the exclusive stand for the Third Hokage. On both sides are the family auditoriums. The contestants usually watch the battle in the corners.

Many students were looking curiously at this civilian student who got here by luck.

Yes, Lu Ming, who didn't do much, became a lucky man in their eyes.

Human beings always look down on their own kind, intentionally or unintentionally. Because they can't do it themselves, they deny others who were born the same in their hearts, trying to generate a sense of comfort that the other person is the same as themselves.

Looking at the gray-clothed young man walking down here step by step, Sarutobi Hiruzen once again updated his impression of him.

The shy boy who was submissive in front of him last time seemed to have undergone earth-shaking transformation. He was still the same person, but the fire in his eyes made it impossible to look away. "The eyes are very good..."

The ANBU standing next to him was slightly startled, and then the corners of his mouth under the mask slowly raised, right?
