"Zaku, show off the majesty of our Sound Village."
When Zaku came on stage, Dosu said to Zaku, in Forest of Death, they Sound Ninja Trio are in Naruto It was hard for Dosu to suffer a defeat in front of. Therefore, he hoped that the battle between Zaku and Rock Lee would be a better one.
Turn the situation around.
Qin also cast an encouraging look at Zaku.
Zaku nodded. Although he did not despise Rock Lee, who was going to fight next, he was definitely not afraid of him. It was not like he was facing Naruto, so Zaku was confident that he could defeat Rock Lee.
Go on stage and come face to face with Rock Lee.
"Rock Lee, please advise." Seeing Zaku come on stage, Rock Lee raised his eyebrows and saluted Zaku seriously.
"Zaku. Please advise." Zaku returned the gift.
"The players are ready, let's start the battle." Mitaraishi Anko said loudly.
Rock Lee is good at Taijutsu, so naturally it was a duel with Taijutsu. Rock Lee usually competes with Naruto a lot, and Taijutsu has made great progress. This is why he insists on competing with Naruto despite being beaten all the time.
Everything is for strength. If you get beaten for this, it doesn't matter.
After a period of intensive discussion, Rock Lee can already open up to six doors. He believes that as long as he persists in discussing with Naruto, Eight Inner Gates will be able to open all of them in just a short time.
"Konoha Whirlwind."
Turning up the kick, Rock Lee goes straight to Zaku's face.
"Ha, your speed is good, but compared to Naruto, you are really far behind." Zaku stretched out his arm, easily blocked, and at the same time used the weapon on his arm to attack Rock Lee with sound.
"Konoha Gale."
Turning and kicking, the upper kick was followed by the lower kick. Rock Lee launched a combo as soon as he came up. He was attacked by Zaku's sonic wave, but it did not stop Rock Lee's next move.
After two moves, Rock Lee felt a warmth in his ears.
'Did that guy use an attack similar to sonic waves? 'Rock Lee stared at Zaku's arm, looking at the holes, thinking in his heart, "In this case, we must fight quickly. Use that move."
Thinking of this, Rock Lee took off the cloth strap on his hand.
"Huh? Li, are you about to use that move?" Kai saw Rock Lee's movements and guessed that Rock Lee was about to use that forbidden move.
Looking at Rock Lee's eyes, he seemed to have guessed something. Zaku smiled and said, "Well, your speed is good, but my attack is faster than your speed. I think you can see it. The weapon on my arm can expand my sonic attack infinitely. You can't dodge it."
"So, let's admit defeat."
"Admit defeat?" Rock Lee smiled brightly, shook his head and said, "I haven't used my trump card yet, how can I admit defeat? Besides, who loses and who wins, it's still too early to say now."
"So..."
Zaku wants to say, then use your trump card and let me see. As soon as the words reached his throat, he saw Rock Lee coming over him, more than twice as fast.
"Shadow Dance Leaf."
One kick, with lightning speed, directly hit Zaku's chin, kicking Sacco away. When flying in the air, Rock Lee's figure clung to Zaku's back, and it was another continuous attack.
"Bang..."
There was a loud noise, and Zaku was kicked back to the ring by Rock Lee. After struggling for a few times, he couldn't move.
Rock Lee fell back to the ring and gasped hard. This move also consumed him quite a lot. He looked at Zaku lying on the ring and breathed a sigh of relief.
"In the second set of duels, Rock Lee of Konoha won."
As Mitaraishi Anko's voice fell, Dosu and Qin came up to check Zaku's injuries, and then medical staff took Zaku away for treatment.
Rock Lee returned to the second floor, looked at Kai, and said happily, "Teacher Kai, I won."
"You did a great job, Rock Lee." Kai patted Rock Lee's shoulder heavily, his eyebrows full of recognition.
Rock Lee's victory will naturally be congratulated by some of his friends.
This was off-court talk, and the game continued in full swing.
Time passed slowly in one duel after another. At dusk, the duel between 16 people finally came to an end. It is worth mentioning that Choji was the lucky one who got a bye.
He was eating snacks throughout the game, but he didn't expect that he wouldn't have to play in the preliminaries in the end and would have a bye to enter the third test.
In these duels, the candidates' strength seemed to be just that. There was no overly extraordinary combat power. The extraordinary here was worth thinking about the combat power of Naruto.
There was only one more intense match, and that was the showdown between Temari and Tenten. After all, the fight between women was the most interesting. It's a pity that this is a battle between ninjas after all. If it were an ordinary woman, the fight would probably be more exciting.
When Gaara came on the stage, Kurama whispered to Naruto that it sensed a similar breath in Gaara's body. That breath was very familiar, and it was a kind of weak breath.
After hearing this, Naruto immediately watched Gaara's duel carefully. The normal duel was unremarkable. Although he won, it was not out of the ordinary. It was normal.
Orochimaru canceled Konoha Crush Plan, Baki naturally got the news, and now they want to leave Konoha after finishing the exam.
He didn't understand why Orochimaru gave up the plan to collapse Konoha.
Orochimaru actually had a very clear purpose. Originally, destroying Konoha, killing Hiruzen Sarutobi, and abducting Sasuke seemed to be his stated purpose, but in fact, he destroyed Konoha in order to provoke a war with Ninja World.
In this way, if a war breaks out and more people die, his Impure World Reincarnation will be stronger.
As for Hiruzen Sarutobi, this is just what he did incidentally.
However, now, since it is known that Naruto's Hardening can lead to eternal life, these plans have been canceled by Orochimaru, because the research he did for the sake of strong strength is just in pursuit of immortality.
Therefore, after knowing such news, Orochimaru naturally focused on Naruto.
Orochimaru will not tell anyone else these things.
After the exam, the list of those who were promoted to Chunin was not selected on the spot. All the exam records were gathered together, and the comprehensive conditions for promotion to Chunin were determined by the famous families of Konoha.
Strength is not everything.
Because it was already dusk after it was over, other people from the hidden village had to stay here for one night and then go back tomorrow.
For Naruto, the end means that he can let go and make friends. He is very happy and excited, but they have to stay here for one night before leaving from the village entrance tomorrow.
Therefore, Naruto can only wait until tomorrow morning to make friends with them. In the evening, he will invite his friends to Breeding Farm for a big meal. After all, they have worked hard in the exam.
Those who win the battle should be celebrated, and those who fail should be comforted.
Kakashi-sensei, and Teacher Kai also came over.
"Other friends from the hidden village, we will meet at the entrance of the village tomorrow. I look forward to becoming friends with you." After saying that, leaving the other hidden village ninjas looking at each other, Naruto left with a large group of people, preparing to return to Breeding Farm.
As soon as he came out of the door, Naruto whispered to Kurama in his arms, "Kurama, help me guard the village entrance. If anyone wants to go back secretly at night, just knock him unconscious and wait for me to come the next day."
Kurama nodded, jumped out of Naruto's arms, and went to guard the village entrance.
Naruto feels that we still have to be on guard. If someone really can't think about it and doesn't want to make friends with him, so he chooses to sneak away tonight, it will be a pity.
Not to mention, after Naruto left, Zaku of Sound Ninja Trio took Dosu and Qin to the corner and whispered, "How about we sneak away tonight, so that we will avoid the pain of flesh and blood tomorrow."
Zaku's proposal was immediately agreed by Dosu's Qin.
Kurama went to squat in the grass at the entrance of the village. The task of cooking naturally fell on Naruto's shoulders. Sasuke came to help him. While cooking, Naruto looked out at the bonfire in the yard. Some people he cared about were chatting and laughing there.
Kakashi-sensei drank the drink calmly.
Teacher Kai, who had thick eyebrows and big eyes, was holding a drink in his hand, and he followed some juniors in high spirits as they recounted their burning youth. Looking at Teacher Kai, Naruto decided that after dinner, he would have a youth competition with Teacher Kai.
The scene here is what Naruto likes.
All his happiness and joy were achieved by himself.
When Hiruzen Sarutobi returned to Hokage's office, he hurriedly closed the office door and came to the crystal ball. He watched the game all day and his eyes were tired.
Now, it's time to refresh your eyes by watching something pleasing to the eye.
As a result, a bathhouse scene suddenly appeared in the crystal ball. Seeing this scene, Hiruzen Sarutobi's old face finally showed a smile.
Kurama came to the entrance of the village and looked around. No one was there, so he jumped into a pile of grass next to him and hid himself. As long as someone came in or out, he would be able to detect it.
After a while, the sun set, and a long shadow pulled down, catching Kurama's eyes.
It looked through the gaps in the grass and saw standing outside the village a white-haired ninja wearing a red outer coat with brown clothes underneath, wooden clogs and armor-like equipment on his hands. Forehead Protector had the word "oil" written on it.
The ninja stepped on his clogs, looked at Konoha's mouth, and said solemnly, "Konoha, I, Jiraiya, am back."
But the solemnity on his face did not last long. A sly smile appeared in an instant, and he laughed and said, "I haven't collected pictures for a long time, and the progress of the painting book has slowed down a lot. Now that I'm back, let's go collect pictures."
With a lewd smile on his face, the Forehead Protector oiled ninja stepped into Konoha.
Kurama watched him go in, Konoha, and ignored him, because Naruto told it that it was people leaving the village, and it would not take care of those entering the village.
This white-haired ninja is Jiraiya, one of the three Jonin named Konoha along with Orochimaru and Tsunade. He has been looking for the Son of Destiny outside and spying on intelligence.
To be honest, he has not returned to Konoha for many years.
The reason is that he doesn't really agree with some of the things his teacher Hiruzen Sarutobi has done, so he would rather stay outside than stay at Konoha.
When he came back this time, he really wanted to see the child.
I don't know what he looks like. Since Hiruzen Sarutobi came to Hokage not long after his birth, he has not come back to Konoha, either to spy on information or to practice in Mount Myōboku.
Jiraiya was walking on the street of Konoha, and many people did not recognize him because he had not returned to Konoha for so many years.
However, this was exactly what he wanted, so that he could sneak into the bathhouse to collect news without anyone noticing.
Speaking of collecting styles, Jiraiya felt a little heartbroken and regretful. At that time, when he wrote the book Icha Icha Paradise, it was a pity that it was stolen by a thief when it was just completed, which became the regret of Jiraiya's life.
Jiraiya came to the next door to the bathhouse, found a room, then put on a large bathrobe, covered his face, and secretly entered the women's bathhouse.
At this time, there were many women taking a bath in the women's bathhouse.
Jiraiya felt his blood flowing faster, and he suddenly thought that the old guy might be using a crystal ball to peek into the women's bathhouse.
Thinking of this, Jiraiya deliberately twisted his body to attract the attention of an old guy. After twisting for a while, Jiraiya slowly lifted up the hem of his bathrobe, exposing one leg.
A hairy leg.
"Pfft..."
Hokage office, Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly spurted out two streams of blood from his nose. He was not tempted, but frightened. At first, when he saw the twisting figure, he thought it was a beauty.
Unexpectedly, the next moment, he saw a foot of leg hair.
"Here comes someone." Hiruzen Sarutobi erased the image of the crystal ball and shouted immediately.
"Third Hokage, what's the matter?" Yingmi heard Hiruzen Sarutobi's call and immediately opened the door and came in.
"Go to the door of the bathhouse and call me Jiraiya." Hiruzen Sarutobi said.
"Lord Jiraiya is back? Okay, I understand, Third Hokage, I'm going to call Lord Jiraiya." Yingmi bowed and exited Hokage's office.
After finishing the interview, Jiraiya was disgusted by a certain guy, and left the women's bathhouse with a smile on his face. As soon as he came out of the door, someone came up to him and said, "Lord Jiraiya, Third Hokage is calling you to the office now, he is waiting for you."
Hiruzen Sarutobi called him over. Jiraiya was not surprised at all. He nodded and said, "I'll go right away."
Although Jiraiya didn't like the old man, returning to Konoha and meeting Hiruzen Sarutobi was something he couldn't get around. When he decided to come back, he had thought about it and it would be okay if he just met him.
Follow Yingmi to Hokage Building and stand in front of the office.
Yingmi knocked on the door and said, "Third Hokage, Lord Jiraiya is here."
"Let him in." Hiruzen Sarutobi's voice appeared inside.
"Lord Jiraiya, please come in." Yingmi pushed Opening Gate. After Jiraiya entered, she closed the door, leaving the two of them alone.
Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Jiraiya who walked in, took a puff of cigarette, and then said in a deep voice, "Are you willing to come back?"
Jiraiya snorted, sat on the chair opposite, and said, "I came back not to see you, but to see Naruto."
"So that's it." Hiruzen Sarutobi's face showed neither sadness nor joy.
"Now that I'm back, let's take Naruto to practice from now on."
Suddenly, Hiruzen Sarutobi dropped a sentence that surprised Jiraiya.
Thanks to Worldly and Unrestrained for the tip of 100 Qidian Coin, and thanks to Brave Heart 1477 for the tip of 500 Qidian Coin. Thank you.
