Chapter 461 Qualifiers
Kabuto's external performance was also that of a helpful senior, and Naruto also had a good impression of him. Even the somewhat irritable Sasuke was convinced, and Xu Yue certainly did not object.
So for the rest of the journey, they were always moving forward together.
Along the way, not only Sasuke, but also Zhang Tao and Huang Qiang, Kabuto relied on some inconspicuous insinuations...
"The next step is the most difficult moment. Regardless of whether you have obtained the scroll or not, or whether you have collected it all, you may have set up a trap down there."
As they were about to reach the central tower and the innermost forest, Kabuto's tone became serious.
While he was saying the reminder, he was also analyzing the intelligence he had collected previously.
Although the two superior Taki-nin village genin only revealed some words inadvertently, based on their emotional and character analysis, it is generally possible to understand that they entered this chuunin exam.
It seems that it is just for the other person...
While thinking of this, Kabuto, who was on the high-speed road, also glanced behind him covertly.
But when he turned back to look at Xu Yue, he found that the other person's smiling eyes were looking at him.
His face was obviously so gentle and sunny, but the pure eyes that looked at him made Kabuto feel numb for no reason.
This was the first time that this kind of intuition that made him feel very bad appeared.
Who is this person?
After suppressing the feeling in his heart, Kabuto decided to test Sasuke first according to the plan.
Having taken out the scrolls of heaven and earth in public a few times before, it should be able to attract some prey. Through the duel between Sasuke and those genin, we can better judge how much Lord Orochimaru's curse seal affects him. …
"Kabuto-kun seems to be paying close attention to me and Sasuke. Is there something wrong?"
However, just when he was distracted for a moment, the voice coming from his ears suddenly made Kabuto shiver.
He was completely unaware of the other party's approach!
How can this be!
Even when I am distracted,
This is not something ordinary people can do!
He is actually better than his two teammates?
When did the genin team randomly sent out by Takigakure Village become this strong?
The thoughts in his mind changed a lot, but a smile quickly appeared on Kabuto's face
"Of course, because you and Sasuke are both very strong, so strong that they don't even look like genin."
Kabuto's adaptability is indeed first-rate. His generous admission not only resolves the embarrassment of being questioned, but also allows him to test things out easily.
"Actually, I don't think Kabuto-kun looks like him either..."
No matter if it's not something to worry about.
But after all, it is one of the bosses that started the Fourth Ninja War. It is worth investing a little in advance.
Xu Yue's smile inexplicably made Kabuto feel depressed...
…
In the following journey, I also encountered several interceptions, including the one that existed in the original work, and some that did not exist.
But with the presence of Zhang Tao and Huang Qiang, there was no need for any embarrassment at all. They simply relied on their elite chunin-level strength to crush them. They were so devastating that there was no one enemy at all.
Naruto and Sasuke were shocked to see that these two were stronger than previously expected. They were really worthy opponents.
At Xu Yue's signal, Zhang Tao, who had obtained several scrolls after sweeping over, also took out a Heavenly Scroll and gave it to Sasuke and the others.
In exchange, he received a careless thank you from Naruto and a cold snort from Sasuke.
For the arrogant Sasuke, he could accept that he had snatched it from Xu Yue and the others, but it was a bit shameful to be directly 'given away' like this.
But time is running out now, and he can't refuse.
Because during one of the battles, Sasuke, who was not willing to lag behind, wanted to join the fight, but after opening his Sharingan, he found that the scar on his neck was in burning pain, as if his whole body was moaning.
In this state, it is indeed not the time to show off one's strength...
So it's up to Naruto to step in and accept it.
When they were about to arrive at the tower, Kabuto's two soy sauce teammates suddenly appeared by 'coincidence' and called Kabuto back.
"Ah~ My teammates are here, so I'll go over first. Everyone, please try your best in the next game."
Kabuto waved to the others with a smile on his face.
With Kabuto's 'good old man' character, he also received corresponding farewells, and even Sasuke, Zhang Tao, and Huang Qiang nodded.
Even Xu Yue smiled and said at the end
"Kabuto-kun, next time we meet, I hope you can smile more realistically. It feels like you are smiling every day. Sometimes you are a little tired."
After hearing Xu Yue's words, the expression on his back could not help but stiffen slightly, and then he adjusted his glasses.
"Haha, I hope so too, classmate Xu Yue..."
This guy is the same kind of person as me. This taste is unmistakable...
…
Due to the intrusion of the reincarnators, overall there were changes in the second scene.
But the difference is not big.
The biggest impact was the early exit of the trio of sound ninjas, but there were more people who passed the second game than in the original work, and the extra ones were all reincarnations.
Except for Xu Yue's group, there were only three other groups left after passing the second game!
Two groups were genin who were originally in Konoha, and one group was genin from Sagakure.
You know, there were only 26 plot character groups that originally entered the second game, and there were a full 14 groups of reincarnators.
However, 10 groups failed to pass the second assessment. This elimination rate made the other three groups of surviving reincarnations feel unbelievable.
It has reached the point where it is time to start the promotion mission, and the lowest level of the reincarnations who have entered has the strength of an elite genin.
If this kind of strength is used stably, it shouldn't be difficult to pass the second game.
At least the three groups didn't realize how difficult it was.
But what is inexplicable is that there are attrition of 10 groups.
This is too exaggerated.
It’s unbelievable that someone who can be considered a half-time veteran would have such huge battle losses...
Only Zhang Tao and Huang Qiang looked embarrassed.
Damn it
Why are there so many missing? Well, it must be some other accident. Yes, that kid is only a chuunin. Even if their group is this strong, they won't be able to kill the tenth group.
Well, luckily no one knows.
That guy Kabuto also gave up the third game because he was injured by the two of them, okay, okay...
"Of the 40 participating teams, only 10 are left. Plus one abstention, there are still 29 people left. Because there are too many people, a qualifying round needs to be held first..."
After the third generation finished his speech, the referee of the preliminary round, Moonlight Hayate, also came to the scene and explained the rules of the preliminary round...
Two updates~
