Konoha: I have a gravity training room

"Well, thank you. Ghana!" Sasuke's Ghana made Xia Mu stunned for a moment, and a feeling of nostalgia surged in his heart.

After the two classes left, Sasuke regained his stern expression and kicked Naruto: "Hey! Get up! We're so far behind, there's no time for you to sleep!"

Naruto woke up in a daze, and was suddenly startled: "Where is Orochimaru? Orochimaru..."

Sakura went up and punched him: "¨. Everyone was working hard, but you were the only one sleeping. How can you be so ashamed?!"

Sasuke glanced at Sakura. Sakura had no right to criticize Naruto. At least Naruto rushed forward to fight at the beginning, but it was unknown what Orochimaru did to cause him to faint. As for Sakura, she just watched trembling the whole time, unable to even help with the wounds. What right did she have to criticize Naruto?

Here, Class 9 and Class Kai quickened their pace.

Natsuki wasn't sure if Team 7 would be attacked by Orochimaru again, nor was he sure if Sasuke and the others could withstand the attack of the Sound Trio, but since Kakashi said it was okay, then it should be okay.

Moreover, the current Sasuke is different from the original. He has not been cursed and is in good condition. He has also learned the Hatake sword technique, so it should be no problem for him to deal with the three Sound Ninjas.

As for Team 8 and Team 10, they were both quite capable, and as long as they didn't encounter Orochimaru or Gaara, they would be fine. Furthermore, they were so far away that Natsuki couldn't help them even if he wanted to, so he could only hope they were alright.

After half a day's journey, thanks to Parker and Neji, they were able to avoid many unnecessary dangers and successfully arrived at the tower.

Now, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

After entering the tower and handing in their scrolls, they were greeted by a special teacher who lectured them on the principles of the Will of Fire. After this series of steps, both teams were deemed to have passed the second exam. They had three days left, and although they were not allowed to leave the tower, they were free to rest and there was also ample food provided.

Everyone was welcome to show off first.

At night, Team 8 successfully arrived, and Natsuki and Tenten hurried to greet Shino, their good friend.

Another day passed, and Team 10 arrived. However, Shikamaru and his team looked very miserable. They said that when they were approaching the tower, they encountered Team 7 being attacked by the Sound Trio. They went to help and were beaten badly.

Chapter 114 Screening Competition

The strength of the Sound Ninja trio is not weak among the Genin.

Sack Stirrup's palm can emit slashing waves, Qin Hammer can use the Thousand Bells to perform illusions, and the hole-punched guards on Tos Anvil's hands can emit sonic attacks.

The bodies of these three people have been modified and are incomparable to ordinary people.

In the original work, Sakura was beaten badly by three people, Rock Lee didn't get any benefits for helping her, and Team 10 was also bullied. In the end, it was Sasuke who solved the problem with the curse seal.

Today, Shikamaru and Choji are not much different from the original story. Although Ino had stepped up her training earlier, she was still stretched to her limits and still suffered a loss against the Sound Ninja Trio. However, according to Shikamaru, it was Sasuke's swordsmanship that ultimately defeated them, and their help from Team 10 was in vain.

"Sasuke? It seems like he's improved a lot after his battle with Orochimaru."

Xia Mu was not surprised by this. Some geniuses improved rapidly after fighting, and Sasuke's behavior was not outrageous.

Shikamaru and the others were shocked when they heard that Natsuki defeated Orochimaru alone. It was obvious that they had seriously underestimated Natsuki's strength.

However, they are also happy to have such great friends and partners.

If you encounter danger in the future, just remember to hold on to your thighs.

On the last day, Class 7 finally arrived in a panic, along with the group of Kabuto Yakushi, Kai Akadoh, and Ken Misumi. After confirming that no more candidates were arriving, the second exam finally came to an end.

Those who passed are: three people from Team 7, three people from Team 8, three people from Team 9, three people from Team 10, three people from Team Gai, three people from Sound Village, three people from Kabuto Yakushi, and three people from Gaara, a total of twenty-four people!

Except for the additional Class 9, the situation is the same as the original plot, which is much more than expected.

When the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen saw that most of the candidates who passed were from Konoha Village, he was immediately overjoyed and smiled brightly. He also said a lot of nonsense, saying what the significance of the Chunin Exam was and how it was for the peace of the ninja world. It was nothing more than a muscle-flexing like a military parade, and his words were really high-sounding.

Fortunately, Yueguang Hayate, who looked weak, jumped out, stopped Sarutobi Hiruzen's long speech, and began to announce the screening rules before the third exam.

Because the third exam was to be watched by important people, too many people wouldn't be able to participate, so there was a screening round. Basically, they drew lots to fight, and (cbbe) eliminated half of the people. Of course, if you want to withdraw, you can do so now, otherwise you won't be able to avoid being beaten badly later.

Just when everyone thought no one would quit, Pharmacist Kabuto raised his hand.

Naruto also expressed his disagreement. Obviously, Team 7 was able to complete the second exam this time with the help of Kabuto Yakushi. Of course, Kabuto Yakushi's main purpose was to collect information about Sasuke, not out of kindness.

Yakushi Kabuto said that he was already exhausted and that continuing the exam would only lead to failure, so he might as well quit.

Naruto was speechless.

However, as Xia Mu watched Kabuto Yakushi walking away, he felt that he still had to be on guard. After all, this guy was Orochimaru's confidant and could do anything.

Then he sent a chakra line from his forehead to connect with Yamashiro Aoba, and transmitted in Morse code: "Teacher Aoba, this Kabuto Yakushi has participated in the Chunin Exams many times, but now he doesn't look seriously injured, but he gave up so easily. It feels very suspicious. I have a feeling that he is not taking the exam, but gathering intelligence. Perhaps he is a spy."

Yamashiro Aoba was stunned, and immediately responded by fiddling with his chakra lines: "I will pay attention, you just focus on the exam."

Xia Mu was relieved and looked at Moonlight Gale.

After Moonlight Gale announced the rules of the competition, he began to pair up the remaining candidates.

The first match, Inuzuka Kiba vs. Yamashiro Tomoya!

All the candidates left the venue and went to the second floor to watch. Only Inuzuka Kiba, Yamashiro Tomoya, the dog Akamaru, and Gekko Hayate, who was the referee but was almost coughing his lungs out, were left.

As soon as the referee announced the start, Inuzuka Kiba threatened Yamashiro Tomoya to surrender.

Yamashiro Tomoya naturally would not give in easily, and he even showed signs of attacking.

Seeing this, Inuzuka Kiba immediately threw a smoke bomb to block the view, hoping to win by relying on his and Akamaru's sense of smell. However, when the man and the dog rushed into the smoke, an extremely unpleasant smell immediately filled their nostrils.

Then Akamaru fainted on the ground, and Inuzuka Kiba was also hit hard.

When the smoke cleared, I saw Yamashiro Tomoya holding an open can of herring in his hand, which tasted extremely sour and refreshing.

Inuzuka Kiba and Akamaru couldn't even stand Naruto's fart, and now they were hit by the herring can, which was even more miserable. The only outcome was defeat.

The teacher in charge, Kurenai Yuhi, held her forehead with her hand. "A keen sense of smell is indeed an advantage, but sometimes it can be a fatal flaw. Yamashiro Tomoya has obviously already grasped the information about Kiba and Akamaru. He has prepared canned herrings in advance. Kiba will definitely lose!"

Shino and Hinata didn't know what to say and could only mourn for Inuzuka Kiba in silence.

Kato Megumi was very proud, and it was obvious that Yamashiro Tomoya's victory made her very proud.

The next match is between Akado Kai and Uchiha Sasuke.

Sasuke is not cursed now, and his chakra is used normally. His Sharingan combined with Hatake swordsmanship is extremely fast. Even though the Red Copper Armor can absorb people's chakra, he was quickly defeated by Sasuke.

In the third match, Sack Stirrup faced Shino Aburame, and Shino won.

In the fourth match, Koto Tsuchigumo faced Nara Shikamaru, and Shikamaru won.

In the fifth game, Toss Annuli faced Akimichi Choji, and Toss Annuli won.

In the sixth match, Ken Misumi faced Kankuro. Although Kankuro's bandaged mummy body hidden behind the puppet was exposed earlier, this guy still won with his excellent puppetry.

In the seventh game, Haruno Sakura faced Kato Megumi, and there was no doubt that Kato Megumi would win.

In the eighth game, Hinata Hyuga faced Neji Hyuga.

This was originally quite interesting, after all, it was the Hyuga main family against the Hyuga branch family, but Ningji was different now. He would not say much to his cousin. Both of them opened their Byakugan and fought with Bagua Palm. Ningji was better. After pressing Hinata's acupoints, he directly used kunai to cross Hinata's vital parts. Naturally, the referee could only declare Ningji the winner.

It turns out that if you talk less during a fight, it will end faster.

Hinata lost before she even had time to get Naruto's encouragement. The key point is that Neji is not as aloof as in the original book, and he doesn't say unpleasant words. He even helped to deal with Orochimaru before. Even if Naruto wanted to cheer for Hinata, he would not yell at Neji, so there would not be so many troubles.

The good news is that Hinata wasn't seriously injured.

In the ninth game, Temari faced Tenten, which Natsuki thought was a fateful battle.

Temari's Wind Style fan was originally a natural counter to Tenten's Ninja Tool Throwing, but Tenten was no longer so easily defeated. Seeing that her Ninja Tool Throwing was being countered, she decisively changed her tactics and directly used the Six Styles of Close Combat, even without using the four-piece set from the Takumi Ninja Village, and successfully defeated Temari.

Chapter 115 The game is in progress

Temari has always been confident and probably never thought that she would lose, so she found it difficult to accept for a moment.

But looking at Temari's attack methods, we can see that the wind escape technique she uses with her fan is more suitable for long-range attacks. Once close, she is at a disadvantage. In addition, Tenten's physical skills are not weak, so it is not difficult to defeat Temari.

Instead, Xia Mu gave Shikamaru a meaningful look.

You should know that Shikamaru and Temari were supposed to fight in the finals. The two of them have been connected since then, and with their continuous cooperation, their feelings have naturally developed.

But now, Temari lost to Tenten, and Shikamaru might lose his wife.

Natsuki had no intention of interfering. If Shikamaru and Temari were really destined to be together, they would be together sooner or later.

Then came the tenth match, Uzumaki Naruto vs. Natsuki.

When Naruto saw that his opponent was Xia Mu, he was completely stunned. He never thought that he was so unlucky to meet the strongest one. How could he not lose?

You know, Natsuki defeated Orochimaru alone, but Naruto fainted after just one move with Orochimaru.

It is clear who is stronger and who is weaker, and it seems there is no need to compare anymore.

Shikamaru spoke directly: "Naruto, admit defeat, the ending is already decided."

The others also looked at Naruto with the same eyes. Although they didn't say anything, Naruto knew what they meant, and for a moment, it aroused Naruto's competitive spirit.

He shouted, "I know Xia Mu is very strong, but I haven't tried it myself, so how do I know I can't beat him?"

He was so blindly confident that he thought courage could conquer everything, but in fact his fighting ability was only effective in the finale, and at other times he could only rely on Kotobuki. This is how Neji lost, as did Nagato, and even Obito was influenced by Kotobuki.

Why can't I use another Tianzui in the finale?

Because Kaguya Otsutsuki won't listen to your nonsense and will just kill Fujiwara!

What else can we do except defeat Kaguya Otsutsuki?

Xia Mu flashed to the center of the venue, and didn't speak to Naruto at all. He just stared at Naruto without blinking, which made Naruto feel creepy.

But he had already said it, and now he could only bite the bullet and leave.

"Xia Mu! I will try my best and will never lose to you!" Naruto tried to use the Kotobukiya attack, or maybe he was encouraging himself.

But Xia Mu just looked at him without saying anything, which made Naruto feel very embarrassed for a moment.

Fortunately, Moonlight Gale announced the start, and Naruto immediately used the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique. Dozens of Narutos rushed up and wanted to beat up Xia Mu.

Chakra lines appeared faintly on Xia Mu's ten fingers, and then his lightning body flashed quickly, quickly shuttling among a group of shadow clones, and chakra lines quickly popped out from his fingertips and wrapped around the shadow clones.

In almost the blink of an eye, Xia Mu bypassed all the shadow clones and even Naruto himself and appeared behind.

The Naruto group looked back in confusion, but saw Xia Mu suddenly close his hands, and the chakra line tightened immediately, instantly entangled all the shadow clones, and pulled all the shadow clones to the center. For a moment, the shadow clones collided with each other, and then exploded one after another. In just a moment, all the shadow clones were blown up.

Naruto's real body was still confused, and he was stunned when he found that all the shadow clones were gone.

When he came back to his senses, he found that he could not move. Upon closer inspection, he discovered that his body was covered with chakra threads.

Xia Mu didn't bother to explain anything. He quickly stepped forward and knocked Naruto to the ground with a punch. Seeing that the referee hadn't spoken yet, he simply sat on Naruto's back and pointed the kunai in his hand at Naruto's head.

The referee, Moonlight Gale, finally spoke up: "That's it! The winner is Xia Mu!"

Eh?!!!

Naruto stared in disbelief.

Although he knew that Xia Mu was very strong, he didn't expect to lose so quickly. He didn't even see what Xia Mu did before all his shadow clones disappeared in an instant.

How on earth did he lose?

At this point, Xia Mu patiently explained, "Did you see the chakra lines on my hand? You've always been reckless and careless, so you didn't pay attention. When I used the instant body movement technique to bypass you and your shadow clone, the chakra lines were all entangled. Then, like a trap set with strings, they suddenly tightened, and your shadow clones were all gone, right?"

"I see! Xia Mu, you're amazing!"

Naruto couldn't help but admire it, but when he thought about how easily he lost, he became depressed for a moment.

Xia Mu just smiled and untied the chakra line for him. This was good. Don't talk nonsense during the battle. Naruto's mouth-to-mouth attack will be ineffective, and there will be no time to recover. Even the Nine-Tails Chakra will not have a chance to react.

·· ·Request flowers· ····

After knocking down Naruto, don't say anything, just step on him and point the kunai at him. How dare the referee not declare you the winner?

Wouldn't it be better to wait until we win before talking to Naruto?

Naruto and Natsuki left the venue and returned to the second floor. Shikamaru leaned against the wall and said, "I told you long ago that the ending is already decided. It would be better for you to admit defeat earlier and save yourself the trouble."

Naruto didn't know how to refute it for a moment, because the loser's rebuttal was pale.

Xia Mu helped and said, "Don't say that, Shikamaru. Winning or losing is one thing, but having the courage to fight is another. At least Naruto dares to fight me, so he is quite courageous."

Naruto immediately responded: "That's how I fall! I'm not lacking in courage!"

Shikamaru rolled his eyes. He could tell that Natsuki was trying to give Naruto a way out. Only Naruto, the idiot, didn't understand. Fortunately, he was too lazy to explain anything because he thought it was too troublesome.

Then comes the eleventh game, Rock Lee vs. Gaara!

Here it comes, another fateful battle, but I guess Xiao Li still can’t win.

At this time, Xiao Li had put the weights on his legs again. Perhaps because he protected his companions in the Death Forest, he received Kai's praise, and now he is full of confidence.

He faced Gaara, raised his bandaged hand, his eyes full of determination.

However, fate seemed to be playing a joke on him. His attacks could not break through Gaara's defense. Even if he removed the weight and became faster, he could not defeat Gaara.

Afterwards, his Eight Gates Ninjutsu shocked everyone present. It not only broke Gaara's defense, but also almost seriously injured Gaara.
