From the night of genocide, marching towards the strongest.

Upon hearing this, Kakashi chuckled to himself.

Naruto, young and fearless, was unaware of Orochimaru's power. However, having encountered Orochimaru multiple times, he was well aware of Orochimaru's danger.

Kakashi shook his head slightly and didn't say anything more. At this moment, Naruto's curious voice rang out again.

"Kakashi-sensei, the thick-browed teacher next to you just now, is he your eternal rival, Might? One for one, right?"

One for one?

What a ridiculous name.

Kakashi was taken aback, his lips twitched, and he corrected him, "His name is Might Guy."

"Hmm." Naruto stroked his chin, somewhat puzzled, and said, "Judging from that teacher's muscles, physique and joints, he is definitely a very strong taijutsu ninja. An excellent taijutsu ninja is very strong in chakra, strength, explosiveness, endurance and speed. I really don't know how Kakashi-sensei was able to go toe-to-toe with Thick Eyebrows-sensei."

Chapter 135 Preliminary Selection Tournament

Naruto knew very well how much chakra Kakashi had.

How can someone so weak withstand Might Guy's relentless barrage of physical attacks?

"Could it be that the teacher with thick eyebrows has been going easy on us?"

Naruto muttered something under his breath.

Ok?

You're underestimating me!

Kakashi's lips moved as if he was about to say something, but Sakura, standing beside him, spoke up in his defense.

“That’s not quite right!” Sakura shook her head, raised an index finger, and analyzed in a seemingly serious manner: “Kakashi-sensei is, after all, a ninja who is proficient in all aspects of ninjutsu, taijutsu, and genjutsu. He has mastered thousands of ninjutsu and has the Sharingan, the eye that can see through genjutsu and copy them.”

"Although Might Guy is strong in chakra, strength, explosiveness, endurance, and speed, he inevitably falters in battle when facing Kakashi, who is known as the best sculptor in Konoha."

"In general, Might Guy is like a hard clod of earth, while Kakashi is like a resilient stream of water. Even the hardest clod of earth will turn into soft mud when it meets the water!"

"So, Might Guy becomes soft when he meets Kakashi, right?"

Naruto nodded with a look of sudden realization and praised him.

"I see, as expected of Sakura, her analytical skills are still amazing!"

???????

Kakashi initially nodded in agreement, but as Sakura continued speaking, he felt something was amiss.

What a terrible analogy!

Kakashi's lips twitched, and he opened his mouth as if to say something, but seeing Sakura's serious analysis and Naruto's sudden realization, he swallowed his words.

I used to be a naive boy too!

Kakashi sighed inwardly.

How do you manage to drive so seriously?

When Sakura made that terrible analogy, Sasuke, though outwardly calm, couldn't help but glance at her with surprise.

'It seems my analysis was spot on; even Sasuke is impressed.'

Seeing Sasuke's somewhat amazed look, Sakura secretly felt smug.

"Alright! Let's put this discussion aside for now." Kakashi clapped his hands, staring with his dead fish eyes, and said with a hint of helplessness, "Prepare well for the upcoming preliminary selection exam. Although I know you are all very strong, there are a few extraordinary characters in this exam. Be careful, don't let your carelessness lead to disaster!"

"Hi!" X3

After Kakashi left, other examinees began to appear one after another in the passageway.

With a calm expression and showing no sign of abnormality, Mitarashi Anko raised an eyebrow as she watched all the examinees arrive.

There are still quite a few people left!

"First of all, congratulations on successfully passing the second exam!" Anko said loudly to the genin examinees who were already lined up in a square formation.

"Next, please welcome the Hokage to explain the details of the third exam," Anko said, bowing respectfully to the Third Hokage beside her.

"Thank you for your help, Lord Hokage!"

The Third Hokage nodded, stepped forward, and gave a long and detailed explanation of the rules and cruelty of the Chunin Exams.

"Next, I'll just say a few words..."

"This Chunin Exam is nominally an exam to select Chunin, but in reality..."

"Considering..."

"because......."

"so......"

"Thus obtaining..."

"These are the rules and objectives of this Chunin Exam."

Twenty minutes later, the Third Hokage finally finished speaking.

"Next, I'll talk about something else..."

The Third Hokage took a sip of water, coughed lightly, and continued speaking.

Another twenty minutes...

"I'd like to emphasize one last point..."

Upon hearing this, all the examinees were stunned. Even Sasuke was getting impatient. He could even sense a murderous glint in Orochimaru's eyes, who was disguised as a Jonin of the Sound Ninja.

Could this old guy be doing this on purpose to get Orochimaru to make a move?

"Cough cough..."

Hayate Gekko, acting as the referee, appeared as if shining brightly, interrupting the Third Hokage's speech, which was still a few minutes away from ending.

"Lord Third Generation, please forgive my rudeness. Please leave the rest to me, the referee."

Young man, you've chosen the wrong path!

The Third Hokage squinted at him, then finally smiled and said, "Of course."

Moonlight Gale breathed a sigh of relief, turned around, and announced to the group of examinees, "I am the judge for this exam. Ahem... Moonlight Gale, I will be serving as the judge for this... ahem..."

hehe...

Looking at Hayate Gekko's deep-set dark circles, Sasuke chuckled to himself, and couldn't help but think of a certain time management master who was good at group activities.

"From now on, it's an individual competition. You may choose to withdraw!"

After Hayate Gekko finished announcing his participation, everyone except Kabuto Yakushi, who withdrew from the exam as Sasuke had predicted, chose to continue.

"Now, let's announce the names of the two sides in the first round of combat!"

Moonlight and a gust of wind coughed lightly, and the LCD screen on the wall started flickering rapidly.

"Uchiha Sasuke VS Akado Armor!"

Half a minute later...

"Sasuke Uchiha wins the first round!"

Gekko Hayate glanced at the unconscious Akado Armor with some surprise and announced.

When this guy named Akado Yoroi saw Sasuke appear, he seemed very excited and muttered something to himself.

But Sasuke only listened to him for five seconds before instantly killing him with a genjutsu.

"As expected of Sasuke-kun, his fighting style is so cool!"

Yamanaka Ino looked at Sasuke, who was walking slowly towards her, with the excited expression of a little fangirl.

Nara Shikamaru, standing to the side, let out a deep sigh, feeling as if everything before him had gone dark.

Even if I get serious, it takes a lot of effort to deal with that guy.

He actually killed him in an instant. Ugh, this is so troublesome. The difference in strength is too great.

If you run into guys from their class, you should just surrender.

Nara Shikamaru thought weakly.

After Sasuke's battle ended, the second match began.

"Sacs stirrup VS Aburame Shino!"

Ten minutes later...

"Shino Aburame!"

Moonlight Gale glanced at Sackstaff, who had blown off his own arm, leaving him severely injured and unconscious, and announced.

"The third match is between Kenmi Sumi and Kankuro."

........

"Kankuro wins the third round! Now, let's move on to the fourth round!"

On the LCD screen, the candidates' names started flashing rapidly again.

Rock Lee vs. Naruto Uzumaki!

Chapter 136 concludes here.

Rock Lee VS Naruto Uzumaki!

Seeing the row of rankings on the electronic screen spinning rapidly before slowing down and settling on these two names, Sasuke couldn't help but feel curious.

Curiosity about physical combat vs. physical combat.

"Please, the two candidates whose names have been mentioned, come forward!" Moonlight Gale coughed weakly, as if he were about to die at any moment, and said, "Stand facing each other!"

Naruto Uzumaki and Rock Lee exchanged a glance from afar upon hearing this, then slowly approached Hayate Gekko and stood facing each other on either side of him.

"Thick eyebrows, I've heard your martial arts skills are quite good too. I'll have to see them for myself later."

Naruto crossed his arms and said with a serious expression.
