"I'm sorry, Neji Older Brother, even though I know I'm not your opponent, I still want to fight you."
Hinata looked at Neji's calm face and timidly responded to Neji's suggestion to withdraw from the competition, and Neji didn't say much about it.
"If both sides have no objections, the game begins!"
On Arena, as Gekko Hayate announced the start of the game, Hinata just wanted to start Byakugan when she felt she was hit hard - Neji came to the back of Hinata at an extremely fast speed and knocked Hinata unconscious with a hand knife.
"Ah, this brat, how come you don't know how to show mercy to others?"
In the stands, Hayato complained when he saw Neji's ruthless attack, but judging from his happy smile, this guy should be very proud of Neji.
Even though he comes from a separate family, Neji's talent will definitely make him not lose to anyone Main Family.
"The game is over, Neji Hyuga wins!"
"How strong is this guy named Neji!"
Kurenai Yuhi, who was standing on the second floor, looked at Neji Hyuga, who instantly killed his disciple, and was quite frightened.
If this child is bent on killing Hinata, can I, as a teacher, really protect Hinata from this kid?
"You brat, haven't I taught you to be gentler to girls?"
"I have started very gently. Miss Hinata will wake up soon."
After finishing the game, Neji returned to the second floor. Hayato happily put Neji in his arm and teased him. Neji responded with a smile to Hayato's ordinary existence as Older Brother.
"The ninth game, Gaara of the Sand Waterfall versus Rock Lee."
Just when Hayato was making a fuss about Neji, host Gekko Hayate announced the lineup for the ninth game.
"Yeah, is Rock Lee about to come? Come on!"
Rock Lee and Neji are both students of Kai. Hayato, who takes great care of Neji and has a cheerful personality, has a good relationship with Kai, and Hayato also gets to know Rock Lee.
I also like this young man Hayato who is as passionate as Kai. Seeing Rock Lee come on the stage, Hayato also greeted Rock Lee enthusiastically.
"Yes! Hayato, I will work hard, Neji, just wait for me to defeat you! Ahhhhhh it's finally my turn!"
Seeing that it was finally time for him to take the stage, Rock Lee also came to Arena with great enthusiasm, while Gaara over there turned into a burst of dust and came to the field.
"This child is very dangerous."
After seeing that Rock Lee's opponent was Gaara, Hayato walked to Kai's side and gave a special reminder.
"It shouldn't be. With Rock Lee's ability, I don't think anyone can defeat him except Sasuke Naruto."
Neji on the side frowned when he saw Hayato saying that Gaara was dangerous. Very few people can get such a comment from Hayato.
"What did you see?"
Kai has great trust in the strength of his favorite disciple, but he also trusts Hayato's judgment. Hayato specially came to remind himself that he must have his reasons.
"Gaara of the Sand Waterfall, Sunagakure's humanoid weapon. Although he is the son of Fourth Kazekage, One-Tail of Sunagakure is sealed in his body."
Root was abandoned, but Konoha's intelligence organization still needed to be maintained. Third Hokage handed over the intelligence work to Madara.
As Madara's classmate, Hayato Hyuga was also drawn into his organization after he became Jōnin. Compared to Kai, Hayato can learn more secret information about other villages. The fact that Gaara is Jinchūriki was learned by Hayato through Madara's intelligence organization.
Seeing that Rock Lee's opponent was actually Tailed Beast Jinchūriki, Hayato naturally reminded Kai.
"This would be really troublesome."
After hearing the information from Hayato, Kai nervously tightened his grip on the railing in front of him.
Are the Sunagakure people crazy? They actually sent Jinchūriki from their village to Konoha to participate in Chunin Ninja Exams!
Now Rock Lee is facing off against Gaara. Although Rock Lee is excellent, he will never let him kill Jinchūriki who has Tailed Beast in his body. It's possible, once Gaara loses control, Rock Lee's life is bound to be in danger, and even Konoha may suffer heavy losses due to the out-of-control One-Tail!
After thinking of this, Kai looked at Arena with all his attention. Once things might get out of control, Kai would take action to end the battle even if he was resented by Rock Lee.
The ninth game officially started. From the beginning, Rock Lee was overwhelmed by Gaara's sand attack. Without waiting for Rock Lee to ask for instructions, Kai directly let Rock Lee release his restraints and fight with all his strength.
After receiving the order, Rock Lee lifted his own weight and gradually gained the upper hand. He even used Eight Gates Formation in order to defeat Gaara. Unfortunately, no matter how hard Rock Lee tried, he still failed to defeat Gaara.
Just when Gaara's sand was about to cover Rock Lee's body, Kai, who had been paying attention to the development of the incident, immediately took action to end the battle.
"Teacher Kai?"
Because Gate of Opening was in pain all over Rock Lee looked at Kai standing in front of him and couldn't help but shed tears.
Naruto, Sasuke, and Neji all advanced easily, but he fell on Preliminaries. In the end, Kai needed to save him. At this moment, a powerful sense of frustration emerged from Rock Lee's heart.
"Li, I'm sorry. Because I love you too much, the teacher couldn't control himself and took action. You have done a good job. The teacher is proud of you. You will definitely win next time."
The situation of Gaara is too special. This is an existence that Rock Lee cannot defeat currently and will really kill Rock Lee. Although ending the game quickly like this is indeed suspected of protecting his shortcomings, for the sake of his beloved disciple, he has to protect his shortcomings.
Kai slapped away Gaara's sand attack and then looked at Madara, who was standing on the second floor looking down at him.
[Two versus one, I lost the number of people entering the main match, five draws, sixty-five losses, Itachi, you are really a strong opponent!]
The ninth game ended with Kai's strong intervention, and Gaara finally entered the next round. In the tenth game, Choji Akimichi played against Dosu.
If Choji had practiced hard like Naruto and the others since childhood and relied on the Akimichi Clan's Secret Technique, he would definitely not be too far behind Naruto and the others. Unfortunately, this child does not have that much obsession with becoming stronger.
In the end, despite Choji's family heritage, he still lost to Dosu, and Preliminaries before the main match was completely over.
"Master Itachi, that gentleman has returned to the village. It seems that he wants to talk to you."
Just when Third Hokage and Naruto were explaining the details of the main competition and the start time, Uchiha Clan's Ninja came to Madara and reported to Madara the latest information they had obtained.
"Got it."
After simply replying to the message provided by his subordinate, Madara nodded to Sasuke, and then he left.
For Jiraiya, who is as famous as Orochimaru and Tsunade, Madara also wants to see what he wants to talk to him about.
