Avengers of the Whirlpool Family.

Chapter 96 Some unexpected results

If there is still plenty of time.

The four members of Team 7 also conducted a carpet search in the surrounding area. Under Menma's deliberate guidance, they found a "senior team" from the Hidden Leaf Village in less than half a day.

They easily defeated the team of seniors from the same village, and they were lucky because the scroll carried by the team of seniors was exactly the 'Scroll of Earth' they needed.

After obtaining the key mission items.

Menma, Sasuke and the others did not stop at all and flew towards the central tower in the center at high speed.

It only took less than a few dozen minutes.

The group arrived outside the tower.

As the only building in this forest of death, this tall tower is very eye-catching.

In terms of infrastructure, Konoha is indeed worthy of the title of the number one ninja village in the ninja world.

"That guy didn't come? Is it because of my meeting with Orochimaru? What a pity, I was planning to get close to him."

Looking at the tall tower that is already within reach.

Menma's heart also moved, and the figure of Kabuto Yakushi flashed through his mind. To be honest, as a subordinate, Kabuto Yakushi was really outstanding. No matter his combat power as a ninja, his level as a medical ninja, or his assistant in experiments, Kabuto Yakushi was definitely one of the best in the ninja world.

It’s no wonder that Orochimaru trusts Kabuto Yakushi the most.

It can be said that in the force created by Orochimaru, Kabuto Yakushi's status is very high.

Menma is naturally very interested in such an outstanding person.

Unfortunately, there is no such opportunity in this life.

It can only be left for the future.

"Is this the end point of the second round of assessment? Eh? Why aren't there any examiners waiting for us?"

Enter from the main entrance of this central tower.

I saw the extremely empty space inside.

But there was no one in sight.

Sakura also blinked and spoke with a hint of curiosity.

"Well, if there are no examiners, then it must be related to our scrolls."

Menma pretended to think for a moment, then took out two scrolls from his arms.

“Oh!? I see.”

Naruto also seemed to suddenly realize something and took out two scrolls.

Under their respective mergers.

"puff!"

A white mist suddenly appeared.

"!?"

"Eh?"

"This is?"

The next second, after the white mist dissipated, a familiar figure appeared in the eyes of Menma and the other three.

"Iruka-sensei, why is it you?"

Looking at Iruka who appeared in front of him and others.

Naruto also said with his eyes wide open.

"Haha, that's because I'm your herald."

Iruka looked at Naruto, Menma and the others who had successfully passed the second round of assessment although they all looked a little embarrassed, and a look of relief appeared on Iruka's face.

I had previously opposed Menma and the others from taking part in the Chunin Exam because I felt that they were still too immature. Now it seems that I had underestimated these students.

"Herald? Huh? What's that?"

Naruto, Sakura and the others all looked confused. "Of course it is..."

Iruka smiled softly.

The next thing was that he fully demonstrated his professional qualities as a teacher and gave Menma and the others a very comprehensive and detailed introduction to some of the key points of this exam. What was more important was the Chunin experience written by Sarutobi Hiruzen behind him.

When I read the original novel in my previous life, I didn’t read the Menma section in detail.

Now that I've listened carefully, I have to admit that in this regard, Sarutobi Hiruzen has always done very well, otherwise he wouldn't have such a great prestige in the Hidden Leaf Village. It's a pity that most of the time, what he says and what he does don't match at all.

Sarutobi Hiruzen in his youth and Sarutobi Hiruzen in his old age are actually two different people.

"So, if you want to become a qualified Chunin, you still have a lot to learn. Don't let your guard down or become arrogant!"

Iruka said with a smile.

"Oh, Iruka-sensei."

"Yeah, we understand, Iruka-sensei."

Sakura and Naruto also responded one after another.

"Okay, you all look very tired, so I won't say much. Let's go to the special lounge first. Today is only the second day of the assessment, and the final result will have to wait until tomorrow afternoon."

"Yes!"

Unlike the original book, where the second round of assessment is passed at the final checkpoint.

In this time and space.

With the presence of Menma, Class 7 is the first group to pass the second round of assessment. This also gives Menma and others more time to rest. Menma is very clear that after the second round of assessment, due to the large number of people, there will be another preliminaries before the main competition in order to reduce the number of players in the main competition.

After all, by that time, high-ranking nobles from various countries will come from afar to watch, and Konoha must ensure the quality and quantity of the games. It is impossible to really extend the schedule of the final round of competition too long.

It is most appropriate to limit the number of people to ten.

"If I'm going to meet Gaara, Lee, and the others in the preliminaries, I'll have to prepare well..."

In the process of waiting.

Menma was also thinking about what strategy he should adopt if he really encountered these two difficult guys in the preliminaries.

Although in the previous life, there were speculations that the so-called fair and just electronic screen was actually being controlled by the Konoha side.

But we are always afraid of accidents.

At the critical moment of leaving the Hidden Leaf Village, Menma is unwilling to reveal too much.

I don't want to be seriously injured.

Gaara, the Jinchūriki, and Rock Lee, who can open five gates.

Those are things that Menma must be wary of now.

You can't expect too much Nine-Tails Chakra to explode at that time, right?

Therefore, some timely measures and preparations are necessary.

However, it was obvious that Menma's efforts were in vain.

Because, in this life, there is no qualifying round before the main competition.

"Hmm? It's time? Are we going to draw lots to decide the order of appearance in the main competition?"

On the afternoon of the third day, after the final deadline for the second round of exams.

A Konoha Chunin who served as an examiner also came to the room where Menma and the others were resting and conveyed corresponding instructions to them.

When I heard that they were going to draw lots directly to decide their opponents for the main competition instead of having a qualifying round.

Menma was subconsciously stunned.

However, the next second Menma knew the reason.

"Well, the second round of assessments has just ended. Currently, there are four people who have passed the second round of assessments. Oh, I should say three teams. As I said just now, the finals will be a one-on-one elimination tournament. The time is one month from now. You just need to decide on the names of the players to be on the matchup list at that time."

This examiner also responded in a very formulaic manner.
