Starting from the root of Konoha, he was the mastermind behind the scenes

Chapter 169: Minato and Sasori enter the stage! (Subscribe for monthly tickets)

The second game was held in a giant indoor arena.

There are viewing platforms around the stadium where people can stand.

Xingxia Xiu and others had been waiting here early.

In the room, of course.

There is a display device here so you can see what's happening outside.

Xingxia Xiu remembered that Kakashi and his friends' third-level individual battle in the Chunin Exam was held here.

But he didn't know the assessment process in advance.

However, team battles in such a flat and open area lack a lot of highlights.

of course.

You really can't expect too much from an ordinary Genin.

"It looks like Minato and the others arrived first."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said.

Tsunade said: "This is to be expected. Minato's strength and experience are definitely not comparable to those who have just graduated not long ago."

Minato Namikaze graduated at the age of ten and is now twelve, and two years have passed.

Moreover, he had been to the battlefield with Jiraiya and the others.

He even fought against powerful beings like the Four-Tails Jinchuriki.

Not to mention that Minato Namikaze is a top student and a genius himself, and Xingxia Xiu can't find any mistakes in his daily training.

Even Minato Namikaze did many details better.

Jiraiya was right, Namikaze Minato was an excellent, even perfect ninja.

After Minato Namikaze and the other two arrived, Yahiko, Nagato, and Konan also arrived.

Sarutobi Hiruzen said: "These three children are indeed very good."

Xingxia Xiu said: "I am looking forward to seeing them face off against Minato and the other two."

Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled and said, "I am also looking forward to it. They are all taught by you."

Tsunade said, "That's not fair to Minato and the others. Show, you've only been teaching them for a few months."

Xingxia Xiu shook his head: "I taught Minato the Rasengan a long time ago, and so did Kushina."

"As for Shinnosuke, he was taught by the Sandaime himself and he was also very good."

"In just over a month, I'm almost at the point of achieving my Vajra Indestructible Body. My talent for Earth Escape is very high."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was also very proud of his eldest son's training progress, but he also knew the reason. He smiled and said, "Show, you don't have to be modest. Shinnosuke said that your teaching method is more effective than mine."

Tsunade curled her lips: "Stop flattering each other, the third team is here, from the Sand Village."

Xingxia Xiu said: "Scorpion, the grandson of the Fourth Kazekage."

"Yes, he is a very talented puppeteer."

Sarutobi Hiruzen raised his eyebrows: "It seems that it is not easy to be considered a genius by Xiu."

Xingxia Xiu said: "For the Sand Village, such a genius may not be a good thing."

"It depends on whether they can accommodate it."

These words surprised Sarutobi Hiruzen and others, and they also remembered Sasori in particular.

The Star Show has changed a lot of things.

For example, the Third Kazekage was killed by him in advance.

Chiyo became the Fourth Kazekage.

Will Scorpio still go down the same path?
Xingxia Xiu thinks so, the puppet is the result of the death of Scorpion's parents.

Now Scorpion's parents were still killed by Konoha White Fang.

So will Scorpio defect again?

Xingxiaxiu couldn't tell.

Scorpion's puppets, like Orochimaru's research on the human body, ultimately violate human ethics.

It’s hard to say whether the Sand Village can accommodate it.

Xingxia Xiu thinks that Sasori might become Orochimaru of the Sand Village!
……

The fourth team to arrive was Nawaki and his group, and Tsunade immediately smiled when she saw them.

Shengshu can be considered as half-disciple of Xingxiaxiu.

Looking at Naoki and the others, Xingxia Xiu suddenly thought that if Naoki faced Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki, it would be a battle between balls.

interesting!

A smile appeared in Xingxiaxiu's eyes.

As time passed, more and more teams arrived.

But there were also teams with only one or two people arriving, and such teams were eliminated by Meicun Yejuan without hesitation.

Soon, the time is up.

Now there are a total of fourteen teams entering the formal second assessment.

The sequence numbers are also determined according to the order in which the teams arrive.

The next step is to draw lots to have duels between teams, and evaluate the teams and each ninja in the teams through the duels.

The evaluation of the Chunin Examination is not simply determined by victory or defeat.

But it is the comprehensive performance in the assessment.

Of course, victory or defeat is the most important factor.

After the battle officially started, Xingxia Xiu and Tsunade left the room and went to the viewing platform outside.

At this moment, the leading ninjas of each team were also there, and the teams participating in the assessment also came to the viewing platform first.

"Master Xiu!"

Ji Yu brought Nagato and the other two to pay their respects. Nagato and the other two were very happy and bowed and called them "Teacher Xiu".

Namikaze Minato and the other two couldn't help but look at Nagato and the other two.

Especially Uzumaki Kushina, she had long noticed Nagato, who had the same hair color as her.

"Come, let's get to know each other."

Xingxia Xiu said: "Nagato, Yahiko, Konan, and Rain Village are also my disciples."

"Nagato, Uzumaki Kushina, and Sarutobi Shinnosuke are also currently under my instruction!"

So the six people from the two teams officially got to know each other.

Yahiko asked, "Teacher Xiu, we should be senior brothers and sisters, right?"

Uzumaki Kushina immediately said, "I think it should be calculated according to age."

"Even if we don't go by age, I was the first person that Master Xiu taught me how to practice."

Xiaonan refused to be outdone: "Why not evaluate based on strength?"

Xing Xiaxiu couldn't help laughing and crying as she listened to this. She had never expected this to happen.

Uzumaki Kushina put her hands on her hips, unafraid: "Then let's see who can become a Chunin this time!"

Namikaze Minato was a little embarrassed: "Um... I shouldn't use it..."

Before he could finish his words, Uzumaki Kushina glared at him, and he immediately swallowed his words back.

Sarutobi Shinnosuke couldn't help laughing as he watched from the side, but he agreed with Uzumaki Kushina that this title must be fought for.

So he also said: "Then strength will determine who is better."

Xingxia Xiu snorted at this time: "Hey, you little brats, have you forgotten about me, your teacher?"

Uzumaki Kushina and the others immediately became good boys.

Hoshita Hide then said, "Minato won't participate, or it would be unfair to you."

Minato's strength is unique.

Of course, Minato was Jiraiya's formal disciple.

Now he is just a ninja guided by Xingxia Xiu, not a formal master and apprentice.

Namikaze Minato nodded immediately: "Yes, Teacher Xiu."

Xing Xiaxiu continued, "Who will be the senior brother or sister? Let's see how they perform next. I will make the assessment then."

Uzumaki Kushina and the others immediately nodded in unison: "Understood!"

"Well, look at how others are doing. Don't be careless."

Show the way under the stars.

And the first match has already begun.

The ninjas from Yu Village faced off against the ninjas from Kusagakure Village.

Following Meicun Yejuan's order, both sides immediately launched an attack.

Both sides used the same formation.

That is, one person makes hand seals behind to prepare for ninjutsu, one person throws shuriken, and the other person rushes forward for close combat.

There is no doubt that in such a venue, at such a distance, and with the help of Genin, such an offensive and defensive formation is indeed very suitable.

Shurikens collided, close combat ensued, and then both sides exchanged ninjutsu.

The fire jutsu of the Kusanagi Village and the water jutsu of the Yuu Village collided with each other, exploding with a loud bang, but they were evenly matched.

After a ninjutsu, the other two people on both sides also joined the close combat, and both sides began to compete in physical skills, swordsmanship and the like.

Genin, however, doesn't have enough capital to engage in ninjutsu duels.

Moreover, it is already very good for a general Genin to master one or two D-level ninjutsu.

During Naruto's Chunin Exam, apart from the Multiple Shadow Clones, also known as the Three Body Technique, all battles were close combat.

On the contrary, Sasuke can use the Dragon Fire Technique in addition to the Great Fireball Technique.

Watching the battle below, Xingxia Xiu felt that it was very appropriate for the second round of Naruto's Chunin Exam to be held in the Forest of Death.

That kind of environment can better test the abilities of the Genin.

Soon, the results of the first game came out.

Kusagakure is slightly better.

However, in terms of performance, both sides had their merits, but neither was particularly outstanding.

An ordinary Genin.

Of course, this is in Xingxiaxiu's eyes.

In Kusagakure and Yuguchi, these two teams are already very outstanding among the Genin, otherwise they would not have been sent here.

Next, the second game begins.

"Team One versus Team Three!"

Mimura Hamagaki announced.

Xingxia Xiu said to Namikaze Minato and the others: "Go!"

The three of them nodded in unison, then jumped down from the viewing platform.

On the other side, the same thing happened to Scorpion and his two companions.

The two sides stood facing each other several meters apart. Meicun Yejuan in the middle asked, "Are you ready?"

Both parties nodded in unison.

Meicun Yejuan immediately retreated a distance and shouted, "Begin!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Uzumaki Kushina retreated and clasped her hands together.

Sarutobi Shinnosuke rushed forward, while Namikaze Minato threw kunai.

This formation attack looks exactly the same as the previous Tang Shinobi and Kusanagi teams.

Of the three people from the Sand Village opposite, Scorpion released the puppet, and the other two, one controlled a roll of cloth to fly to the opposite side, and the other rushed forward with a ninja sword in his hand.

The cloth rolled up and wrapped around two Flying Thunder God kunai, and the man rushing forward from the Sand Village avoided the flying kunai by turning his head.

But the next moment, Minato Namikaze disappeared.

The Sand Village Genin who was rushing forward was suddenly kicked away, and then Namikaze Minato appeared in front of the cloth blocking his kunai, and the Wind Style Rasengan in his hand burst out.

It's sizzling!

The cloth was torn by the Wind Style Rasengan, the Sand Village Genin was stunned, and then he was kicked away by Minato Namikaze.

The scorpion controlling the puppet at the back narrowed his eyes: "What a fast speed!"

Before he could react, his two companions were killed.

With a flick of his finger, his humanoid puppet immediately opened its mouth, and suddenly a dense swarm of thousands of swords shot towards Minato Namikaze.

But Minato Namikaze disappeared and appeared in front of Kushina Uzumaki, with a Flying Thunder God Kunai next to him.

Scorpion moved his fingers, the puppet's abdomen opened, and more thousand swords flew out.

Ding Ding Dang Dang~
Sarutobi Shinnosuke pressed his hands on the ground, and a wall rose up, blocking all the hidden weapon attacks.

He rushed forward just now to provide cover. This ninjutsu had been prepared long ago to guard against large-scale attacks from the puppets.

Almost at the same time, two chains emerged from the ground.

Scorpion sensed the danger and jumped up. At the same time, the puppet also jumped up, and two swords popped out from his hands, trying to chop at the diamond chain.

But suddenly, the puppet exploded in mid-air.

It was Minato Namikaze who rushed up again, without using Flying Thunder God, but his speed was still extremely fast.

When Scorpion's attention was focused on the Diamond Chain, a Rasengan blew the puppet away in mid-air.

Scorpion's expression changed, and the moment he landed on the ground, the scroll flew into the air and opened.

Scorpion retreated, avoiding Sarutobi Shinnosuke's attack, and with one hand raised, two puppets spewed out from the scroll.

As Scorpion moved his body, he flicked his ten fingers and strands of chakra flew out, controlling the two puppets, and then pounced on Sarutobi Shinnosuke and Namikaze Minato.
