Above Naruto

Chapter 35 The Opening of the Preliminary Tournament



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

There were three teams that arrived at the central tower, including Konoha's Kakashi class and Yuhi Benefit class, and Gaara's three sand ninjas.

Because they still had to wait two days, Naruto and the others could only stay in the tower.

During this period, Naruto caught several wild boars from the forest to eat. Now his appetite is extraordinary, one meal is enough to eat a whole wild boar!A veritable loser!

The two groups gathered around and ate with their mouths full and their stomachs full. They all praised Naruto's cooking skills and were extremely surprised by Naruto's appetite.

When Hinata saw Naruto eating a full three to four hundred kilograms of meat, her little mouth opened roundly, her eyes blinked cutely, with a look of disbelief on her face.

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.With no other choice, Naruto had no choice but to give up.

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

Naruto, Hinata, and Sakura surrounded Ino with happy faces. Naruto was relieved that Ino could reach the central tower safely. During this period, Naruto couldn't help but want to look for Ino. But in the end I endured it.

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

That night, Naruto went out 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 stunned. They compared Naruto and Choji, and looked at Choji with pity, which made Choji want to die!

The two wild boars weighed seven to eight hundred kilograms in total, and Naruto ate most of them by himself!

The fifth day of the second exam is the last day.

The three sound ninjas arrived at the central tower in the morning, and Naruto was not surprised that they could get here.The attack methods of these three people are very strange, and they are [-]% reliable against ordinary genin, which is expected after passing the game.

At noon, Kabuto Yakushi and his teammates, who had been in contact with Naruto and the others during the first exam, also arrived at the central tower.Naruto was still wary of this Yakushi Kabuto. If he guessed correctly, this guy must be related to Orochimaru!

The time came to three o'clock in the afternoon, and the second test of the Chunin Selection Examination was announced to be over.

There are seven teams in total that have passed the second exam, five from Konoha: Naruto's team, Hinata's team, Lee's team, Ino's team, and Yakushi Kabuto's team: Sand Ninja, Gaara, and Gaara. As well as one group for sound ninja and one group for doss.

Central Tower [-]st Floor

in a long venue.The seven teams that passed the second exam stood there. The third Hokage of Konoha stood in front of them. On the left and right sides were the examiners responsible for the chunin exams, and behind them were the instructors of the genin.

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

It is indeed a gratifying thing that Konoha's nine newcomers have passed the competition.

Hyuga Neji looked around, and as he thought, the people who passed by were more concerned.He looked at Naruto in front of him with fear in his eyes.

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

The tooth beside Naruto stared at Naruto with red eyes. If his eyes could kill, Naruto would have died countless times.Akamaru lay on Naruto's shoulder, looking obedient and fawning, with his tongue hanging out.

The guy who eats everything!hateful!He gritted his teeth and looked at it, unable to attack due to the current situation.

Behind Naruto, Sasuke had a look of pain on his face, and bursts of stinging pain came from the wound on the back of his neck. The curse mark placed by Orochimaru was constantly eroding his body.

Naruto didn't care about the looks around him, but looked at a fair-skinned man behind the Third Hokage, who was the instructor of the three sound ninjas.

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

On his body, Naruto felt a cold aura, which was very similar to Orochimaru's.

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

"Yes." The Third Hokage nodded, took a step forward, and said to the genin in the audience: "The third test will be held next. Before I explain it, I want to tell you one thing clearly. About the real purpose of this exam.”

The real purpose?Sakura looked confused.

"Why do allied national medicines hold exams together?" The third agent took off the bamboo hat on the doctor's head and said, "I hope you don't misunderstand its true meaning. This exam shows that..."

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

A crowd

The genin was stunned. How could the chuunin exam have anything to do with the war between the Allies?Besides, since they are allies, why is there any so-called war?

"What's going on?" Tiantian asked.

"If you look at history, you will understand that the current allies were neighboring countries that did not want to continue fighting in the past. The ancient country chose this battle site in order not to waste its combat power needlessly and avoid both sides losing. This is the beginning of this Chunin selection exam. The beginning." The Third Hokage explained.

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

"It is true that it is also for the purpose of selecting ninjas with chuunin strength, but on the other hand, it is also a place where ninjas who bear the country's prestige fight with all their strength." The Third Hokage said the reason.

"For this third exam, we will invite daimyo, famous figures, and ninja leaders from various countries who have entrusted us with our work to watch your battle. If the gap in national power is obvious, then powerful countries will receive more entrustments, and those who are recognized will If the country is weak, the number of entrustments will be reduced. At the same time, it will also give neighboring countries a deterrent that 'our village is so powerful', which means it can achieve the effect of putting pressure on diplomacy." The Third Hokage will take the Chunin Examination The stakes are explained.

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

"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. The strength of the ninja can only be born in a desperate battle. This exam is an opportunity to show the strength of the ninjas of our country and let the other side understand it. That's right. Because the exam is meaningful because it is risking one's life, and it is precisely because of this that the ancestors would take the exam with the dream that 'this is a goal worth striving for'." The third Hokage answered one by one.

"But why is there such a thing as "friendly"?" Tiantian still can't understand the meaning.

"So I said before, don't misunderstand its true meaning. The habit of maintaining balance through killing is the so-called friendliness of the ninja world. Fight with your life for your dreams and the prestige of the ninja village."

Naruto listened to the Third Hokage's words and didn't feel there was anything wrong in his heart.There is a more complex world deep in his memory. There is a so-called "friendly" balance between countries, between forces and forces, and between people. This is an eternal theme that remains unchanged from ancient times.

"It doesn't matter. Let's quickly talk about what we must fight desperately." Gaara said with an impatient look.

The Third Hokage nodded, raised his fist and said: "Well, although I want to start explaining the third test now, in fact...ahem" The Third Hokage coughed, and a special Jonin standing next to Anko teleported to the Third Hokage. In front of him, he knelt down on one knee.

"Hokage-sama, please forgive me for being rude. Now please leave it to me, the judge, Moonlight Hayate." The man said respectfully.

"please."

Moonlight Hayate stood up, turned to look at Naruto and the others, and said feebly: "Everyone, this is our first meeting. 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. He looked like he was about to die soon.

Naruto and the others looked at the sick Moonlight Hayate with curiosity, and couldn't help but worry for him.

"That's the preliminaries related to whether you can take the official exam." Moonlight Hayate said weakly.

"What's going on with the preliminary selection!?" Shikamaru said loudly.He always hated trouble, but what he couldn't stand was this troublesome exam.

"Because the first two exams this time were too easy, there were too many people left. Therefore, pre-selection must be carried out according to the rules of the Chunin Exam to reduce the number of people participating in the third exam. Mr. Hokage also said the third time just now There will be many guests during the exam, so the exam cannot be delayed, and the time is also limited. So, those who are unwell...cough! Ahem!" Before he could finish his words, Moonlight Hayate couldn't help coughing. got up.

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

"I'm sorry." Moonlight Hayate finally calmed down, took out a notebook and said, "The competition is a single-person competition, and contestants are free to raise their hands to withdraw. Please report it now, because the preliminaries will begin soon."

Sakura looked at the pained expression on Sasuke's face and couldn't help but said: "Sasuke, why don't you quit. After all, your injury has not healed yet."

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

"But…"

"Forget it Sakura, let Sasuke make his own decision. We have to believe Sasuke." Naruto interrupted Sakura and said to Sasuke: "Sasuke doesn't want to lose to a mere curse seal."

"Yeah" Sasuke nodded firmly.

The third generation, Anko and Kakashi standing on the stage looked at Sasuke and were arguing over whether to let Sasuke participate in the preliminaries.In the end, the Third Hokage made the final decision and chose to let Sasuke continue to participate in the preliminaries, but he must watch him carefully and stop it immediately if the curse seal occurs.

During this period, Kabuto Yakushi chose to withdraw from the preliminary examination.Although his decision was unexpected by most people, it did not attract much attention.

So the preliminaries exam began.

A group of people stood in the stairs, watching the electronic screen on the wall flashing names, then stopped after a few seconds.

"The first match of Red Body Armor VS Uchiha Sasuke!"
