Traveling through Naruto with Heroes of Might and Magic.

Therefore, many people came to watch the exam today.

Qingwu looked around and spotted many familiar faces.

Representatives from the Uchiha and Hyuga clans also came.

While chatting with Iruka, Qingwu learned about the rumors circulating in the village over the past two days. After thinking about it, he roughly understood the Third Hokage's purpose.

Rather than being secretly watched by Danzo, it's better to take this opportunity to spread the news of the two Wood Release ninjas widely.

In addition, after the exam, they planned to recruit him into the Shadow Guard.

It will have to be brought to the forefront sooner or later.

Moreover, the sudden appearance of two Wood Release bloodline limits in Konoha is of extraordinary significance to the village.

Even for the Third Hokage himself,

The rumors that slandered him because of Orochimaru will be dispelled as he joins the Anbu or even becomes a member of the Shadow Guard with his Wood Release bloodline limit.

Wood Release greatly enhances the Hokage's reputation.

Having figured these points out, Qingwu felt... he couldn't let Hiruzen Sarutobi get away with it.

The third generation gave him 30 taels last time, and when he handed over 'A' to the third generation, the third generation said he would reward him, but he never did, it was just talk.

No!

We have to make a killing this time.

With rumors spreading to this extent, which village doesn't have spies from other villages?

It seems the Third Hokage doesn't plan to send him to the battlefield for the time being.

If the Hidden Cloud Village knew that he or 'Jia' had gone to the battlefield, they would definitely send out experts to deal with them.

Thinking of spies, Qingwu also thought of Nonoyu, whom he hadn't seen in a long time.

The misappropriated task funds are still unaccounted for.

"We need to ask for more money this time," Qingwu muttered to himself.

"Huh? Qingwu, what did you say?" Iruka turned and asked, "Money? You're short of money again?"

“Oh, I remembered the reward for the last mission,” Qingwu replied, “I haven’t seen Chino-senpai since then, how am I going to give it to her?”

“It’s quite strange,” Iruka shook his head. “I haven’t seen my predecessor in the village since.”

"They're here!" Hongdou suddenly said.

"Whoosh!"

A figure landed in the center of the examination room, and the noise in the room quieted down.

"I am the examiner for the preliminary rounds!"

The Konoha ninja with large burn scars on his face looked around: "—Namishi Raido!"

He pulled out a notebook from behind his back, opened it, and quickly read out the exam rules.

It's clear that he's a decisive and efficient ninja.

"So--"

"The exam begins!"

After reading the rules, point to the large screen set up in the examination room.

The candidates' names on the screen began to flash.

Qingwu also focused his attention on the big screen.

Most of the remaining people are ninjas from Konoha.

As the host country, they had the largest number of examinees, and in the second round, the Qingwu team did not steal the scroll from the Konoha ninjas they encountered.

"Beep beep beep beep beep—"

As the names flashed, the first group of opponents quickly appeared.

Mitarashi Azuki VS Obtuse

A commotion broke out at the scene.

Konoha's Anko and Kumogakure's Don are both popular contenders in this tournament.

This first matchup is going to be very interesting.

Qingwu frowned and reminded him, "That bald guy is quite strong."

He paused for a moment, then couldn't help but remark, "He looks about the same age as our examiner."

Qingwu has already fought that bald captain of the Cloud Ninja, and he does indeed look about the same age as 20-year-old Namiashi Raito.

"Hmph!" Hongdou slammed her fists together. "I hope he can take a beating. I'm just looking to vent my anger."

After saying that, Hongdou was the first to jump off the stands.

Yunren's bluntness was said to his two teammates, and he also left the examination room.

After confirming that both candidates were ready, the examiner nodded in unison, "Begin!"

Whoosh!

The moment the examiner finished speaking, Hongdou had already made her move.

He instantly appeared beside the Cloud Ninja, his sleeves bulging... but nothing happened.

She seemed to hesitate for a moment before drawing a kunai and stabbing it.

Without turning his head, the figure of the Cloud Ninja, stabbed by the kunai, turned into a piece of wood.

"Substitution Technique!"

Hongdou slightly opened her beautiful eyes, and a strong wind came from behind her.

Zizizi!

With Lightning Release chakra imbued in his fist, Cloud Ninja Dun's attack appeared incredibly powerful.

Bang!

Red Bean also used the substitution technique.

When it reappears, quickly form hand seals: Si-Chen-Mao-Yin!

"Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique!"

The high-speed, straight-line flames shot directly at the Cloud Ninja.

"Humph!"

The bald man remained calm under pressure, shouting, "Lightning Release: Lightning Wall!"

Red Bean's Dragonfire Technique struck the arc-shaped shield, exploding into a burst of electricity and fire.

Red Bean gritted her teeth, continued to close in, and launched a melee attack with a kunai in hand.

However, she was at a complete disadvantage in terms of physical skills.

The two fought quickly, and Hongdou soon found herself at a disadvantage.

Qingwu, standing in the stands, frowned. "This girl... doesn't want to use Orochimaru's techniques?"

From the initial hesitation to the fact that Anko has never used snake-type ninjutsu, Qingwu couldn't help but have this guess.

Iruka suddenly realized, "So that's how it is."

He then said anxiously, "But if this continues, Hongdou will lose."

Qingwu gently shook her head, showing respect despite not understanding.

"Red Bean, go for it!" Iruka shouted, megaphone-shaped his arms downwards. "Give it your all!"

At this moment, Hongdou had no choice but to dodge.

The Cloud Ninja are known for their physical skills, and they are at a disadvantage due to their size.

"boom!"

A prolonged defense will inevitably lead to defeat. Hongdou was struck on the shoulder by a lightning-infused punch from a Yun ninja, and her body spun and flew away.

But the Yunren relentlessly pursued them...

Chapter 56 Cursed Seal State

Qingwu felt a burning sensation on the back of her neck.

at the same time.

An ominous chakra emanated from Anko, who was sent flying into the air.

"Admit defeat, female ninja of Konoha."

Yun Rendun roared, his pursuit showing no mercy: "Otherwise... you'll die."

The examiners standing nearby were equally prepared to intervene at any moment.

Something's not right!

Qingwu shook her slightly dizzy head and subconsciously placed her right hand on the back of her feverish neck.

Below, the figure of the red bean, suspended in mid-air, suddenly began to rotate in a manner that defied the laws of physics.

At the crucial moment, the sole of her shoe landed precisely on the fist of the Cloud Ninja who was pursuing her, and she used the momentum to do a backflip and create distance.

"Ho..."

She knelt on the ground, raised her head, and saw the whites of her eyes being eroded by blackness. Her mouth was stretched open, revealing a crazy and painful smile.

"Who do you think will die?"

Hongdou's voice became hoarse, with inhuman overlapping sounds.

"Mitarashi Ako?" The examiner, Namiashi Raido, also sensed something was wrong and wanted to stop the competition.

But the red bean had already moved.
