Escape From Konoha - Vol 2 Chapter 81
ended.
This is the real thought in the hearts of everyone present.
But then everyone couldn’t feel the slightest ease, because this was just a qualifier before the official match.
And through this qualifier, everyone has a general understanding of the rest of the advanced players.
When it comes to the official match, it won’t be as easy as the qualifiers.
In the preliminaries, there are Yamazaki Hisa, Kaguya Junmaro, Chiba Aya, Hibiki, Uchiha Sasuke, Uchiha Asuka, Oil Girl Shino, Temari, Shiro, Hyuga Neji, who defeated their opponents in the preliminaries , Gaara, Naruto, Li Locke, and Uzumaki Incense are fourteen under the name of forbearance.
As the losers of the preliminaries, the other 14 people naturally ended up being eliminated and could not qualify for the third Chunin exam.
Among those who were promoted, Guizhiguo and Konoha each accounted for five, and Kiriyin and Sandyin each accounted for two.
Onishima Shinobu saw that all the advanced Genin and their guide, Joinin, all walked down from the observation deck, gathered on the stage, and nodded slightly.
Although as the chief examiner of the third exam, he must be fair and impartial, and there must be no favoritism.
But I couldn’t help but feel happy when I saw that there were a total of five Jinnin in the country of ghosts.
However, Onishima Shinobu also knew that among these fourteen people, how many of them could become Chunin, it is not known for the time being.
There is no problem in the country of ghosts, and the evaluation criteria of other villages are different in peacetime, and the merit system of wartime cannot be adopted. The evaluation of chunin is much more complicated than that in wartime. Factors to consider. Also more.
Rather, it is precisely because of peacetime that the requirements for ninjas should be stricter rather than relaxed.
On the other side, Shiraishi also walked down from the audience seat with people, came to the stage, and met with Onishima Shinobi, facing a group of advanced Genin and guiding Shangnin.
After a brief thought, Shiraishi said slowly, “I would like to congratulate you on passing this preliminaries and getting your tickets for the third test.”
The advanced Genin candidates had different thoughts, their faces were either smiling or cold, but none of them felt nervous.
“Don’t talk about unnecessary nonsense. How will you arrange your opponents for the third exam?”
Naruto was the first to ask the question, which is also the question that everyone is most concerned about.
“I really can’t hold my breath, but I’m in good spirits. Since you can’t wait to ask, let’s make a long story short. The battle combination for the third test will be decided by drawing lots later.”
Shiraishi smiled slightly, and smiled at the impatience of Naruto and the others.
“Drawing lots?”
“That’s right. After all, it is impossible to start the lottery at the beginning of the third test. In that case, it will take up a lot of time for the test. Therefore, while the preliminaries are over, fourteen promotion personnel will be selected and drawn by lot. The way to decide the battle combination for the third test. If there is no objection, let’s start.”
Saying that, Shiraishi gestured to a ninja of Oni no Kuni in the back.
The other party, like Shinobu Onishima, is also a Jōnin from the land of ghosts. He is holding a head-sized box in his arms, which is a lottery box that has been prepared.
Everyone looked at each other, but no one objected.
Naruto was the first to draw, and took out a bamboo stick from the draw box.
I saw a number ‘3’ written on the bamboo stick.
“I’m number 3.”
Naruto scratched his head and said something.
The others stepped forward to draw lots in turn. During the process of drawing lots, Neji wanted to observe with his white eyes, but he found that the white eyes couldn’t penetrate the lottery box. When he saw the number on the bamboo stick inside, he couldn’t help frowning.
Thinking of what Ayane said when she came to look for her during her lunch break, she couldn’t help but snort.
In less than a minute, fourteen people had already drawn the lottery, and by the way, they showed the numbers they had drawn.
After that, it was counted by special personnel. After about five minutes, the battle table for the third test was printed out, held by Onishima Shinobu, and unfolded in front of Naruto and other candidates, so that they could see their third test. Who is the contestant in the test?
And the final list of battles is as follows——
Gaara (Sand Hidden) VS White (Mist Hidden)
Naruto Uzumaki (Konoha) VS Shino Oil Girl (Konoha)
Uchiha Sasuke (Konoha) VS Uzumaki Incense (ghost)
Li Rock (Konoha) VS Hibiki (Ghost)
Uchiha Asuka (Ghost) VS Temari (Sandaka)
Yamazaki Hisa (ghost) VS Kaguya-kun Maro (Kirikaku)
Chiba Aya (ghost) VS Hyuga Neji (Konoha)
Seeing this battle table, Neji secretly thought that sure enough.
Although the other people’s battle arrangements have gone through black box operations, his arrangement is obviously explained by Hyuga Ayane.
Otherwise, it wouldn’t be so coincidental, his opponent would be Chiba Cai, a ninja who also has white eyes.
But in this way, it is exactly what he wants. He will let that arrogant woman pay the price of despising him, and completely tear up his so-called ‘despair’!
On the other side, Cai frowned as well, feeling that something was wrong in her heart.
Since the lunch break, Konoha’s Hyuga Neji has been showing strong hostility to him, and the third exam happened to be a confrontation with Hyuga Neji, who was very hostile to him… If there is no one behind the scenes, it’s a little more colorful. Neither believe it.
has a problem.
But Cai couldn’t tell what was wrong.
Compared to Cai’s doubts and incomprehension, Asuka has a headache.
Fighting against wind ninjas is something he is more depressed about.
To be honest, although he can use Huo Dun, he is far from being good at Lei Dun.
Because his fire escape technique is mostly used for feinting in battles, thunder escape combined with the electromagnetic acceleration attack of the shuriken is his main attack method.
Unfortunately, because it is a magnetic field created by Lei Dun, as long as it is based on the thunder attribute chakra, it will be restrained by Feng Dun, even if some properties are changed, it cannot escape this law.
What’s more, Temari’s wind escape is very powerful.
Ordinary fire escape, I am afraid there is no way to counteract it.
Do you need to exercise the fire escape against the wind in these few days? Asuka began to ponder this question.
If the standard is to pursue the maximum winning rate, then before the official match, it is the best way to exercise Fire Dun to restrain Wind Dun.
However, is this little time before the official game enough to make his fire escape to a higher level?
Asuka is a little suspicious of his ninja talent.
His ninja talent is not really good, it can only be said to be quite satisfactory. Although he is the main force in the team, it is based on Xiang Rin’s perceptual ninjutsu and Cai’s white-eyed assistance to be competent as a long-range attacker. Location.
Once he loses these ‘eyes’, his offensive ability will drop significantly. In that case, the main force will become Cai.
Especially when he encounters a wind ninja who restrains his thunder, his thunder ability cannot be fully used.
This is not a good thing for him who is proficient in Thunder Ninjutsu.
Compared to Asuka’s headache and depression, Temari’s mood is much more relaxed.
She is most worried about encountering the mysterious shrine maiden Komiste in the land of ghosts. Although Asuka is also very troublesome, it is definitely easier to deal with than that shrine maiden. And judging from the previous battle, she could see that Fei Niao focused on the cultivation of Lei Dun, which was just restrained by her Feng Dun.
However, Temari was not so arrogant that he thought he could easily win.
Although I have never seen Asuka use a fire escape, as a Uchiha clan, it is common sense to use fire escapes. With that in mind, Temari felt that he needed to be careful about Asuka’s hidden fire escape.
Invisible attacks are the most dangerous.
“Naruto?”
Shino looked at the name of the person she was about to fight, and fell into a brief silence.
To be honest, based on Naruto’s previous performance, apart from knowing that Naruto will use the shadow avatar technique, I don’t know the rest of the information.
He wouldn’t think that Naruto would still be the unwieldy Naruto in the ninja school period, and his strength is not the same as in the past.
Originally a guy like the tail of a crane, but in just a few months, he managed to catch up, and his strength has grown by leaps and bounds, making Shino inevitably feel a little uncomfortable.
The battle at that time may be harder than expected. Shino said in his heart.
The rest of the people also had different thoughts when they saw their opponents in the third exam. Start thinking about tactics and strategies based on previous battles, and increase your winning percentage in the official game.
“I have a question.”
At this moment, Sasuke raised his palm.
“Please speak.”
Shiraishi put his hands in the pockets of his white coat and glanced at Sasuke.
“In the third final, is the format the same as the qualifiers?”
Sasuke asked.
Shiraishi shook his head and said, “No, the format of the official competition is different from the qualifiers. The official competition adopts the method of a tournament to compete. This is only the list of the first round of duel. A team of two, the winner of a team wins. , will compete with the winners of another group for the next round. Finally, the players who participate in the official competition will be scored by means of ranking.”
Shiraishi’s explanation convinced everyone.
They came here not only to carry the honor of the village, but also to fight for themselves.
Being able to fight against a variety of enemies can enrich your experience against enemies, and also satisfy your excess desire to fight.
“Then, in this way, isn’t there only one winner in the end? Can only the winner become Chunin?”
Sasuke asked with a frown.
“That’s not the case. The reason for using the tournament method is to more accurately rate your abilities. The judges will be made by me and the Jōnin from other great Ninja villages. As long as you can be in the If you show a good performance in the competition, you can get the evaluation of Chunin.”
Shiraishi continued to explain.
“In other words, is everyone qualified to become a chunin?”
Gaara spoke out suddenly.
“Theoretically so. However, there is also a completely opposite theory. That is that all of you are ineligible for the chunin title, get a failing score with us and you are wiped out. Of course, the more games you win, the more games you win. , it means that there are more occasions to show your ability to increase the chance of becoming a Chunin. So, you just need to win all the way.”
Shiraishi said.
“This is too outrageous, isn’t it?”
Temari was a little dissatisfied with this format.
Even if you win, you may not be able to become a chunin. How can there be such an unreasonable rating standard.
“This is the truth. Although the situation of ninja institutions in various countries is different, they basically assume the national defense responsibility of each country. When it comes to the rating of ninjas, it is natural to be cautious. This is the country of ghosts and other big countries. Ninja villages all acquiesce. The unspoken rules. Do you understand, the little girl from Shayin Village? If you don’t understand, you can ask your elders in person after the exam, and I think he will give you a more detailed answer.”
Shiraishi looked at Temari and said with a light smile.
Temari rolled her eyes, she just assumed she didn’t hear Shiraishi’s words.
Although dissatisfied, we can only accept such unreasonable rules.
“In other words, as long as you keep winning, you have a better chance of becoming a chunin. It’s a very simple and easy-to-understand rule. And I’m in the same division as you, Sasuke, and you only need to win two games, then you’ll be able to compete with you. Sasuke, you fought.”
According to the division, the first four groups are one division, and the last three groups are one division.
Seeing this, Naruto couldn’t wait to tell Sasuke.
“Let’s talk after you win the game first.”
Sasuke glanced at Naruto helplessly.
The other party’s words obviously ignored everyone else.
Gaara, in particular, stared at Naruto coldly, revealing a terrifying murderous aura.
When Naruto said this, he obviously didn’t take him seriously.
Even Shino frowned in displeasure: “Naruto, although I admit that you have become stronger, but in my opinion…”
“Now that we’ve been divided into groups, we should be fine. I wonder if the ramen here is delicious?”
He didn’t seem to hear what Shino was saying, and Naruto began to think about what kind of ramen he would eat later.
Shino pushed her glasses and stood silently by the side.
Sure enough, he was just an unremarkable person.
“It’s basically gone. When the time comes, the new rules for the competition will be notified to you in advance tomorrow or the day after. You should have a good rest these few days. Of course, it can also be used to warm up, as long as you don’t carry illegal items, you can advance in advance. Prepare for the unexpected. I’m looking forward to seeing how you guys will perform when the time comes.”
Shiraishi nodded and continued: “Okay, now you can disband. If you want to play in the future, you can go to the staff outside and ask for a tourist map of Ziyuan City. It’s a piece of advice, although relaxation is important. , but don’t relax too much and cause an accident in the third exam.”
Under the leadership of Ichiji, everyone left the venue one by one and walked towards the outside of the guild hall.
After the candidates left, Shiraishi looked at the chaotic environment around him and silently told the intensity of the previous qualifier battle.
The ring that was originally intact under his feet was now in a state of dilapidation.
But for ninjas with ninjutsu, it is not difficult to repair.
“Let’s use a stronger stone later, and repair the broken auditorium.”
Shiraishi pointed to the broken ring and auditorium.
“Yes.”
Onishima Shinobu nodded in agreement. As the chief examiner of the third exam, these were all matters within his scope of work.
“In addition, I went to the enchantment team and recruited four ninjas who were good at enchantment techniques, and arranged a solid and transparent enchantment around the ring to prevent the players from going out of the circle and causing unnecessary riots.”
Because it was a qualifier, and the audience was all ninjas, even if the contestant’s attack ran out of the ring, it would not cause any casualties.
But when it comes to the official game, it’s not at all.
A large part of the audience of the official game are ordinary people who have no fighting ability. If the moves of some candidates will spread to the audience, it will easily cause casualties.
In order to prevent this from happening, it is the safest solution to use the barrier to block the arena, and limit the candidates’ range of activities and moves to the arena.
Onishima Shinobu nodded again, this is indeed a very serious issue that must be taken into account.
If there are casualties due to the game at that time, it will cause a lot of public pressure on the land of ghosts.
“Then the next job here, I’ll leave it to you.”
“No problem, please leave it to me.”
Onishima Shinobu solemnly agreed.
As the chief examiner of the third exam, his job was not easy at all.
Seeing that Shinobu on Ghost Island agreed, Shiraishi didn’t say more, and left the hall with Liuli and the others, rushing towards the direction of the military area.
◎
“You appeared here, that is to say, has the preliminaries over there ended?”
Shortly after returning to the office, before Shiraishi could drink the tea from the cup, a woman in a witch costume walked in from outside.
She lifted the white hood on her head, revealing a gentle face with a calm smile.
Judging from his age, he was around twenty-five years old.
Pharmacist No Naiyu.
Since a few years ago, she has officially joined the intelligence department of the country of ghosts. As a wandering witch, she has been active in all parts of the ninja world, providing medical assistance to the people of the country of ghosts and being responsible for information transmission.
Occasionally handles some tricky ninjas, but most of the work has nothing to do with past espionage missions.
Later, because of a secret mission, she was active in the country of Tang for a long time, secretly got in touch with Tangyin Village, and was responsible for investigating the remaining evil of the Evil God Sect. Her task can be described as arduous.
“Yeah, after all, it’s just a qualifier. Of course, it won’t take too long. When the third test starts, the time for the test will be much longer.”
Shiraishi blew a breath at the hot water in the teacup and said to Nonoyu who was standing in front.
Many of the shounin who participated in the qualifiers obviously did not reach the minimum pass line of the chunin in terms of strength.
The purpose of holding this preliminaries is not only to shorten the time of the third exam, but also to eliminate the unqualified candidates.
“How’s the situation on the other side of Tang Country?”
Shiraishi temporarily put aside the matter of the third exam, which has already been handed over to Shang Ninguishima. He doesn’t need him, the Minister of Military Affairs, to deal with it in person, otherwise he will really doubt the ability of the people below.
Ye Naiyu thought for a while, and his voice was always soft: “As usual, the top management of Tangyin Village has all leaned on our side, and the domestic economic and people’s livelihood problems have gradually eased. According to the information, the arms dealer Oya Chengyan was in Tangyin Village. No country opened a chain of hot spring hotels, but it is said that I am not in Yu no country, and I don’t know where I went.”
“Oya Castle Flame? Forget it, don’t worry about that guy. Have the follow-up issues of the Heretic God Sect been dealt with?”
“Not yet. Although I have tracked it based on the traces left by the other party, it is still quite difficult to find someone in the Ninja world. But one thing is certain, the other party has been in contact with Akatsuki’s people not long ago.”
Ye Naiyu’s face became solemn.
“Xiao?”
Shiraishi’s fingers tapped the table, thinking.
“You mean, has that stray fish from the Heretic God Sect joined the Akatsuki organization?”
“Yes, it is the most reasonable result to infer from the information currently obtained.”
No Naoyu’s words seemed to confirm this matter.
Shiraishi nodded and said, “Then don’t worry about that evil cultist for the time being. Not long ago, according to the espionage personnel in Yanyin Village, Anbu of Yanyin was dispatched on a large scale and left the village, not knowing what they were looking for.”
“Anbu?”
No Naiyu blinked.
“Although no accurate information has been obtained yet, Ohnogi suddenly dispatched Anbu to leave the village on a large scale to search for something outside… It is very likely that Iwagakura’s last tailed beast, the four tails, is missing.”
If it weren’t for this, Shiraishi would never have imagined that Onogi would suddenly make a move to mobilize Anbu to search for something on a large scale, which is obviously out of time.
“Aknow’s people really know how to find opportunities.”
No Naiyu sighed.
“Yeah, behind this incident, there are shadows of root activity.”
Shiraishi said quietly.
The intelligence system established by the roots in Yanyin Village was managed by Nonoyu back then.
Now Genbu has used this intelligence system to reach some kind of deal with Akatsuki, but the content of the deal is unknown to Shiraishi.
But Danzo must have gotten something from Akatsuki, which made Shiraishi a little concerned.
“Like Xiao, this group of people is really haunted.”
Once a member of the root, Nonoyu knew the mystery and horror of the root.
Even a high-ranking person like her can’t know the whole picture of the root.
Perhaps the person who knows the whole picture of the root is Danzo from the beginning to the end.
It is also the strongest fortress inside Konoha, which is more impermeable than Hokage’s Anbu.
“Some of Danzo’s recent actions are a bit weird. Although I don’t know what he is thinking, no matter what, he is not the best candidate for the ‘Five Hokage’ in my mind. I want to make Konoha completely messed up. , you can only find a dovish Hokage to take office.”
A coldness flashed in Shiraishi’s eyes.
“It’s not easy, isn’t it?”
No Naoyu blinked.
Although the army of the country of ghosts has planted many spies inside Konoha, it is a bit of a nonsense to want to influence Hokage’s election.
Most of Konoha’s power comes from the ninja, and the power of the ninja is hereditary.
For example, the Nara clan’s senior ninja position.
The garrison controlled by the extinct Uchiha clan.
Before Kakashi ~www.mtlnovel.com~ Anbu’s power was always in the hands of the Sarutobi clan.
The rest of the ninja clan, such as the Oil Girl Clan, Qiu Dao Clan, etc., also have a part of their own power.
This means that Naruto’s selection has always been under the control of the ninja, and only if it suits their interests can Naruto take office.
Once it collided with the interests of most of the ninjas, the voice of Hokage could not be conveyed, and it became a chess piece and a puppet.
Therefore, trying to interfere in Hokage’s election by relying on spies trained from the Konoha civilian class is simply an act beyond one’s ability.
“Let’s talk about this when the time comes. Don’t be in a hurry for the time being. I’m calling you back this time. Apart from wanting to know about Tang Zhiguo, there is one more thing I want to confirm with you.”
Shiraishi opened the drawer and rummaged through it.
“what’s up?”
No Naiyu took a step forward.
“He’s called Yakushidou. According to the information provided by Kakashi, the other party is an ordinary Konoha Shimonin on the surface, but secretly he has a very close relationship with Danzo and Orochimaru… His surname is the same as yours. , I want to ask, do you know this person?”
Shiraishi took out a document and spread it out. On the left side of the top corner of the first page was a photo.
Shiraishi put this document in front of Ye Naiyu, his eyes fixed on Ye Naiyu’s face, trying to see something from it. **
