Chapter 1158: The Uneventful Qualifying Round!
After Hao Shuai and Kabuto Yakushi withdrew, there were only 20 candidates left.
Then Moonlight Gale announced the start of the one-on-one preliminaries.
On the wall of the martial arts arena, a large electronic screen began to flash the names of the candidates.
Soon, the names of the first two teams appeared on the big screen: Uchiha Sasuke VS Akadoh Kai.
"The first team will be Uchiha Sasuke and Akadoh Kai. The others will go to the viewing platform first and wait for the next round of battles." Moonlight Gale, the chief examiner, said.
The other 18 candidates followed his instructions and went to the viewing platform. Hao Shuai, who stayed to watch the excitement, followed him.
Originally, the candidates who withdrew were supposed to leave the martial arts arena immediately, but Hao Shuai didn't leave, and the others didn't dare to say anything, so they could only let him go.
Hao Shuai didn't care about what others thought. He looked at Erzhuzi and his opponent on the viewing platform, and he was a little dazed: I didn't expect that this butterfly, I couldn't even fan the butterfly effect. After going around in circles, there were still 20 people left, and Erzhuzi's opponent remained the same.
But Hao Shuai didn't care. Anyway, the next result would not change. Moreover, compared with the original plot, I think the second pillar at this moment has full confidence to teach Chi Tong Kai the truth of being a man.
Sure enough, with the order of Moonlight Gale, the first group of duels officially began. The second pillar first ruthlessly mocked, leading the furious Chi Tong Kai to wave his fists and attack him.
And he himself rushed towards Chi Tong Kai as fast as the wind.
Bang! !
At the moment when the two met, accompanied by a dull sound, the result of the battle came out.
The second pillar's fist pierced Chi Tong Kai's abdomen directly.
Chi Tong Kai officially received the box lunch!
And the scene fell into silence for a while.
After a while, Moonlight Gale, as the chief examiner, pretended to be calm and said: "I declare that the winner of the first round is Uchiha Sasuke."
After the voice fell, the people present, especially the candidates, could not sit still.
Shikamaru said seriously: "He killed his opponent with one move. Sasuke is really scary!"
"Did he cheat? When did my Sasuke become so strong?" Ino opened her big cute eyes, full of disbelief.
The always arrogant Ya took two deep breaths and said thankfully: "Fortunately, I don't have to fight him, otherwise I would have lost in the first round."
The three Calabash Brothers were also shocked, and Gaara was even more gloomy. He felt the pressure from Sasuke, while Kankuro and Temari were sweating and their legs were weak.
Among all the candidates, only Team 7, Hinata, Xiao Li and Ningci, who had trained with Sasuke under Hao Shuai, looked calm. They had a premonition of Sasuke's strength.
Soon, the medical staff came on stage to carry away the red copper armor and cleaned the floor. The examiner Moonlight Gale announced that the game would continue.
The second round, Aburame Shino VS Saku.
This matchup was completely unimpressive. Although Sak was quite strong in the Sound Village, he had no hope of turning the tables against the calm and powerful insect master.
The fact was just as Hao Shuai expected. With just a few moves, Shino, the least noticeable insect master among the twelve little strongmen, easily won the match.
The third round, Kanjiro vs. Ken Misumi.
The same unimpressive match. The only thing that attracted Hao Shuai's interest was that Kanjiro showed off a wave of puppet secrets from the Sand Village, which made the people present brighten up.
The fourth round, Haruno Sakura vs. Yamanaka Ino.
A typical fight between two noobs!
Even though the two girls had fought with all their strengths, even though Ino had a family secret, and Sakura had faced up to her own strengths and weaknesses, this still could not change the fact that the two girls were noobs at the moment.
In the end, after Ino failed to use the mind-body conversion technique, the two fainted from exhaustion and were both eliminated.
This result may be the best result for Sakura and Ino, the plastic sisters.
After the two besties' fierce battle, it was Tenten's turn to appear. His enemy was Temari, who was good at using wind escape.
It can only be said that Tenten was unlucky. She relied on ninja tools to attack, but she happened to meet Temari who restrained her.
No matter how Tenten shot out the ninja tools, they were easily blown away by Temari's big fan, and she herself was defeated by Temari in one move.
So in the ninja world, intelligence is really important, otherwise it would be really Barbie Q to face the enemy who restrains you.
I don't know what Tenten would think when he understands the strength of Neji and Rock Lee and faces the increasingly obvious gap in strength between them? !
Will he think about knowing shame and then being brave!
The sixth round, Nara Shikamaru VS Jin.
As the dog-headed military strategist of the future seventh generation Hokage, Shikamaru showed the people present how a person with high IQ can show his operation.
The seventh round, Uzumaki Naruto VS Inuzuka Kiba.
This is another civil war between the twelve little strong men.
Of course, as the two most active and eccentric characters among the twelve, the verbal battle between Naruto and Kiba before the duel is also a highlight.
Unfortunately, the crosstalk performance of the two was warned by the examiner, Moonlight Hayate, and finally the battle began under the watchful eyes of the crowd.
Unlike the original plot, Naruto and Kiba started a fierce confrontation at the beginning of the battle, and the two fought back and forth, evenly matched.
However, as time went on, Inuzuka Kiba soon realized that if he continued to fight like this, the consumption of physical strength and chakra would be very disadvantageous to him.
Therefore, Kiba took out the Bingliang Pill without hesitation and replenished his chakra. Then, he and Akamaru used the secret technique of the Inuzuka family, Kiba Tong Kiba. The man and the beast rotated at high speed, like two fierce hurricanes, whistling towards Naruto.
Seeing Kiba use his ultimate move, Naruto did not dare to neglect it. He instantly cheered up, quickly formed seals with both hands, and countless shadow clones appeared, rushing forward to meet Kiba.
Bang~bang~bang~~
In the venue, smoke and dust rose up. In the diffuse smoke, a series of dull sounds followed, and one shadow clone after another disappeared under Kiba's attack.
Now the duel between Naruto and Kiba has become a protracted battle.
In the end, whether Kiba will consume all the chakra first or Naruto's shadow clone will dissipate first will determine who wins and who loses.
"You lose, Kiba."
After a while, Naruto's excited voice sounded in the center of the smoke.
The smoke dissipated, and Naruto was seen standing calmly. On the ground, Kiba sat on the ground with a listless look, and his body couldn't stop shaking.
Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that it was caused by insufficient chakra use and physical weakness.
"Ya, are you okay?" The leader of Team 8, Xi Yang Hong, appeared on the field and asked with concern.
"I~I~I'm fine, just a little weak." Ya said embarrassedly.
Seeing that Ya was unable to move, Xi Yang Hong called the medical team and carried Ya back.
At the same time, Moonlight Gale also announced that Uzumaki Naruto was the winner of the seventh round.
"Next game, Hyuga Neji vs. Hyuga Hinata."
As the electronic screen sounded, the names of the two opponents in the eighth round also appeared on the screen. Moonlight Gale looked at the names on the electronic screen and announced...
