Chapter 35 The Opening of the Preliminary Tournament

There are still two days until the end of the exam.

There are three teams that arrived at the Central Tower, namely Konoha's Kakashi class and Yuhi Kurenan class, and Gaara from Sanin.

Because there are still two days to wait, Naruto and the others can only stay in the tower.

During this period, Naruto caught a few wild boars from the forest to eat, and now his appetite is extraordinary, one meal is enough to eat a whole wild boar!A veritable rice bucket!

The two groups ate together with their mouths full of oil and their stomachs full. They all praised Naruto's craftsmanship and were also very surprised at Naruto's appetite.

When Hinata saw that Naruto ate a full three or four hundred catties of meat, her small mouth opened round, her eyes blinked cutely, with an expression of disbelief.

Naruto also specially invited Gaara and the others to eat together. Gaara leaned against the wall with a cold face and ignored Naruto. Kankuro and Temari were also embarrassed, so they also pretended to be cold.There was no other way, Naruto had no choice but to give up.

On the fourth day, Xiao Li and Ino arrived at the central tower successively.

Naruto, Hinata, and Sakura surrounded Ino happily. Naruto felt relieved that Ino could reach the central tower safely. During this period, Naruto couldn't help but want to find Ino. But finally held back.

In this way, Konoha's twelve little strongmen have all passed the exam!

That night, Naruto went to catch two wild boars to celebrate.

After eating Naruto's barbecue skills, Shikamaru and the others were full of praise for Naruto, especially Choji, who almost got into the barbecue.After seeing Naruto's terrifying appetite, they were all dumbfounded. They compared Naruto and Choji, and looked at Choji with pity, which made Choji want to die!
Two wild boars added up to seven or eight hundred catties, and Naruto ate most of them by himself!
The fifth and final day of the second exam.

The three Yinren arrived at the central tower in the morning, and Naruto was not surprised that they could get here.The attacking methods of these three people are very strange, and they are very sure against ordinary ninja, which is expected through the game.

At noon, Yakushidou and his teammates, who had been in contact with Naruto and the others in the first exam, also arrived at the central tower.Naruto was still full of vigilance for this pharmacist pocket, if he guessed correctly, this guy must have something to do with Orochimaru!

It was three o'clock in the afternoon, and the second exam of the Chunin selection exam was announced to be over.

A total of seven teams passed the second test, five Konoha teams: Naruto team, Hinata team, Li team team, Ino team team and Yakushido team: Sand Shinobi team, Gaara team team And Yinren one, Doss one group.

[-]st Floor, Central Tower

In a long field.The seven teams that passed the second test stood there, Konoha's Third Hokage stood in front of them, on the left and right were the examiners in charge of the Chunin test, and behind them was the instructor of the Genin.

Kakashi and the others looked at their students and nodded in satisfaction, and they felt relieved.Not to mention Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke, Hinata and the others are all famous Konoha families, not to mention that Hinata, the first heir of the Konoha Hyuga clan, is here.Once something happens, it's not so easy to deal with.

Konoha's nine rookies have all passed the competition, which is indeed a gratifying thing.

Hinata Neji looked around, just as he thought in his heart, the people who passed were more concerned.He looked at Naruto on the front right with fear in his eyes.

I really don't want to meet this kid!Doss and Kankuro looked at Naruto and thought to themselves.

The tooth beside Naruto stared at Naruto with red eyes, if eyes could kill, Naruto would have died countless times.Akamaru lay on Naruto's shoulder, with an obedient look on his face, his tongue sticking out.

The guy who eats inside and out!hateful!Gritting his teeth and watching, due to the current situation, he couldn't attack at all.

Sasuke behind Naruto had a painful look on his face, and bursts of stinging pain came from the wound on the back of his neck, and the curse mark cast by Orochimaru continued to erode his body.

Naruto didn't care about the gazes around him, but looked at a white man behind the third Hokage, who was the instructor of the three Otonin.

The man seemed to sense Naruto's gaze, the two looked at each other, and the man showed a meaningful smile.

On his body, Naruto sensed a chilly aura, very similar to Orochimaru's.

"First of all, congratulations on passing the second exam. Next, Hokage-sama will explain the third exam. Everyone should pay attention." Hongdou turned to look at the third Hokage, and said, "Then Hokage-sama, please .”

"Well" the third Hokage nodded, took a step forward, and said to the crowd of ninjas in the audience: "The third exam will be held next, and before I explain it, I want to tell you one thing clearly. about the true purpose of this test."

real purpose?Sakura looked puzzled.

"Why did the Allied Sinopharm hold the exam together?" The third agent adjusted the hat on his head and said, "I hope you don't misunderstand its true meaning. This exam shows that it is..."

The Third Hokage took out the pipe in his mouth, squinted his eyes and exhaled a puff of smoke, then opened his eyes, looking at Naruto and the others sharply.Said: "It is the epitome of the war between the Allies!"

All the ninja were stunned for a moment. How does the Chunin exam have anything to do with the war between the Allies?Besides, since it is an allied country, why is there any so-called war!

"What's going on here?" Tian Tianfa asked.

"If you look at the history, you will understand that the current allies were neighbors who did not want to continue to fight in the past. The ancient country chose this battle site in order not to waste its combat power needlessly and avoid mutual losses. This is the beginning of the Chunin selection exam. The beginning." Three generations of Hokage explained.

"Why does it have to be like this? Isn't the exam just for the selection of Chunin!" Sakura continued to ask.

"It is true that it is also for the selection of ninjas with the strength of Chunin, but on the other hand, it is also a place where ninjas who bear the prestige of the country go all out to fight." The third Hokage said the reason for it.

"For the third test, we will invite the big names, famous figures and ninja leaders from all over the world who have entrusted us to work, to watch your battle. If the gap in national power is obvious, then the powerful country will get more commissions, and the recognized If the country is weak, the entrustment will be reduced. At the same time, it will also give neighboring countries the deterrence of "our village is so powerful", which means that it can achieve the effect of diplomatic pressure. The stakes are stated.

"Even so, why do we need to fight to the death." Ya said sullenly.

"The strength of the country is the strength of the ninja village, and the strength of the ninja village is the strength of the ninja. And the strength of the ninja can only be born in a desperate battle. This test is just an opportunity to show the strength of the ninja in the country and let the other party understand. The exam is meaningful because it is a life-threatening exam, and that is why the ancestors will take the exam with the dream of 'this is worthy of becoming a goal'." The three generations of Hokage answered one by one.

"But why is there such a term as "friendly"?" Tian Tian still couldn't understand the meaning.

"That's why I said before that don't misunderstand its true meaning. The habit of maintaining balance by killing is the so-called friendship in the ninja world. Fight with your life for your dreams and the prestige of Ninja Village."

Naruto didn't feel that there was anything wrong when he heard Sandai Hokage's words.In the depths of his memory is a more complex world. There is a so-called "friendly" balance between countries, forces and forces, and people. This is an eternal theme that never changes.

"It doesn't matter, let's quickly talk about the content of fighting desperately." Gaara said impatiently.

The Third Hokage nodded, raised his fist and said, "Then, although I want to start explaining the third test now, but in fact...cough cough" the Third Hokage coughed, and a special jnin standing next to the red beans turned to the Third Hokage Kneel down on one knee.

"Master Hokage, please forgive me for being rude. Next, please leave it to me, Moonlight Hayate, who is responsible for the trial." The man said respectfully.

"please."

Moonlight Gale stood up, turned to look at Naruto and the others, and said weakly: "Everyone, it's the first time we meet. Before the third exam, I need you to do one thing. Cough, cough!"

The man was wearing Konoha's ninja costume, his face was sickly pale, his eyes were dim, and he coughed violently without saying a few words, looking like he was dying.

Naruto and the others looked at the sickly Moonlight Hayate curiously, and couldn't help worrying about him.

"That is the pre-selection related to whether you can take the formal exam." Moonlight Gale said weakly.

"What's going on with the preliminaries!?" Shikamaru said loudly.He has always hated trouble, and what he can't stand is this troublesome exam.

"Because the first two exams this time were too easy, there are too many people left. Therefore, pre-selection must be conducted according to the Chunin exam rules to reduce the number of people taking the third exam. Just now Master Hokage also said the third time There will be a lot of guests in the exam, so the exam can’t be procrastinated, and the time is limited. So, those who are unwell... cough cough! cough cough!" Before he finished speaking, Yueguang Gaifeng coughed uncontrollably up.

The teacher seems to be unwell.Hinata secretly said worriedly.

"Sorry." Moonlight Gale finally calmed down, took out a notebook and said, "The competition is single-player, contestants are free to withdraw by raising their hands. Please report now, because the preliminaries will start soon."

Seeing Sasuke's painful expression, Sakura couldn't help saying: "Sasuke, why don't you quit. After all, your injury hasn't healed yet."

"I won't quit, don't say it." Sasuke said firmly.

"But…"

"Forget Sakura, let Sasuke make his own decision. We have to trust Sasuke." Naruto interrupted Sakura, and said to Sasuke, "Sasuke don't lose to a mere curse mark."

"Yeah." Sasuke nodded firmly.

The three generations, red beans and Kakashi standing on the stage looked at Sasuke, arguing endlessly about whether Sasuke should be allowed to participate in the preliminaries.In the end, it was the third generation of Hokage who made the final decision and chose to let Sasuke continue to participate in the preliminaries, but he had to keep an eye on him carefully, and stop it immediately if the curse seal occurred.

During this period, Pharmacist Dou chose to withdraw from the preliminary examination.Although his decision was unexpected by most people, it also attracted little attention.

So the pre-selection exams have begun.

A group of people stood in the stairs one after another, watching the electronic screen on the wall keep flashing their names, and stopped after a few seconds.

"The first round of red armor VS Uchiha Sasuke!"
