Chapter 130 Preliminary Selection Begins, Qianhe VS Daru (Guaranteed 2/2, Please Subscribe!)
Wearing a white coat, an onion head, and a very obvious scar on the bridge of his nose, Qian He felt very familiar no matter how he looked at it.
This is obviously the young Iruka. It turns out that he has also come to take the chunin exam.
However, he looked a little embarrassed. His white coat was in tatters, and the holes were stained with blood. The left sleeve was missing, and his exposed forearm was tightly wrapped with a bandage. It seemed that he was injured.
“First of all, congratulations to everyone for passing the second exam. There are 32 people in total, which is more than I thought.
Next up is the qualifying round for the third exam.
The qualifiers will be randomly selected and will be played in pairs until one party admits defeat or loses the ability to resist.
The winner will advance to the third exam, and I will be the referee for the following exams.
Those who feel that their physical condition is no longer able to continue fighting can abstain.
The next step is an individual battle. Even if you give up, it will not have any impact on the team. "
Since Makino Daigo was injured, Hirata Takayuki, the instructor of the second team, replaced him as the referee. He stood at the front of the team and began to explain the rules to the players.
"Huh? In the qualifiers, we don't even have time to rest?"
"how so?"
"Why is it different from the chuunin selection exam in our village?"
"Konoha..."
Among the candidates, there are many old students who have taken the exam many times. Among them, Konoha has the most ninjas, and more than half of the remaining 32 people are Konoha genin.
They knew the rules and did not express dissatisfaction. The ninjas of Kumogakure, Sunagakure, and Iwagakure also seemed to know the inside story. Those who complained were all ninjas from small villages.
Come to Konoha to take the exam, and if you can successfully become a chuunin, you can be reused after returning to the village.
After all, they have passed the assessment of the Great Country Ninja Village, so the treatment is naturally different, but they think of the problem too simply.
Listening to the noisy voices in the crowd, Takayuki Hirata's face darkened:
"Quiet! The rest time has been given to you a long time ago. Otherwise, why do you think the second exam lasts for five days instead of three? Or two.
Those who passed the exam in advance will naturally have enough time to rest, and many of you only arrived at the tower last night, and some of you arrived this morning, or even at the final deadline.
Do you think the lack of rest time is a problem of exam rules or a problem of your own strength?
Once you become a chuunin, you have to accept higher-level missions.
Chuunin will become a squad leader or squad leader and lead his subordinates. Such people can only review their own problems instead of questioning the rules. "
"Three days? How is that possible? We worked hard to get here?
We went through all kinds of hardships and spent two and a half years performing missions and gaining experience after becoming genin. How could we just give up? "
After hearing Takayuki Hirata's explanation, some people in the crowd immediately refuted.
Qian He looked at the man's back with a strange look in his eyes, looking at the circle mark on the forehead protector and the white face that was obviously more than two degrees different from the color of his neck.
A ninja who has been practicing for two and a half years? It turned out that he also passed the exam.
Before, Qian He thought that the weaker the person, the more he would shout, especially in the world of Naruto, but unexpectedly, he was actually looking down on him.
"Three days? Our seventh class of Konoha's last genin gathered the scrolls of heaven and earth and came to the tower four hours after the exam started.
Kumogakure's team also passed the exam the next morning, and the teams from Sand Ninja Village and Iwagakure Village also passed the exam within three days.
If you are weak, don't blame the rules for being harsh. "
Hirata Takayuki became angry after being rebutted one after another, and his tone suddenly became a bit harsh.
However, his words caused another commotion.
Passed the exam four hours after it started?
Is this still a human being?
The ninjas from other villages were okay, but the genin from Konoha's own village were all shocked and speechless.
What Hirata Takayuki was talking about just now was the last genin. In other words, did he take the chunin exam just one year after graduation?
Most of them have been practicing for several years before they dare to take the exam. Many of them failed several times in a row and were unable to pass the Chunin exam.
Isn’t it a record to pass the exam in four hours?
Thinking of this, a dozen Konoha genin were looking for 'suspicious' targets in the team at the same time.
Um?
These two?
What a great experience!
That's them!
Standing in the middle row of the crowd were Moonlight Hayate, Qianhe and Caiyin.
Moonlight Hayate looks normal. The gap between the 12-year-old him and the 13 or 14-year-old ninjas around him is not very obvious.
Qianhe, who is 8 years old this year, and Caiyin, who is 9 years old, are obviously different in height from everyone else. They look like newcomers at first glance.
Hirata Takayuki added: "I will give you ten minutes. If you do not abstain, you will take the exam by default, and you will be responsible for all consequences.
Those who abstain can leave directly, and there will be chunin outside to escort you out. "
...
The crowd fell silent for a while.
"I...I abstain!"
"I abstain too!"
"And me."
"I'm sorry, I can't fight any longer. The rest of the battle is up to you. Come on!"
"I'm leaving first."
With the first person taking the lead, more and more people abstained.
Some people were disappointed, some were secretly happy, and some cheered for their teammates before leaving.
In the end, 14 of the 32 ninjas who passed the exam left, and the number of people was reduced by nearly half, leaving only 18 people.
Qianhe noticed that Iruka also withdrew from the exam, and his two teammates were also with him. Three people in their team were injured and had to withdraw from the competition with regret.
However, there was no obvious emotional change on their faces, and it seemed that they had gotten used to it.
"Very good, it seems that the rest of the people have decided to participate in the preliminaries. There are 18 people, and the candidates who passed the exam will be selected soon."
Hirata Takayuki nodded secretly at the people who left. As a ninja, it is a good thing to do what you can when there are choices.
Bang!
Just as Hirata Takayuki was about to announce the start of the preliminaries, three people suddenly appeared on the field, namely Kawashima Kaede, Makino Daigo, and the Third Hokage.
Seeing the Third Hokage arrive, everyone saluted respectfully, and the Third Hokage encouraged everyone a few words and left.
Before leaving, he first smiled at Qianhe, and then glanced at Takayama Ishikawa with a warning look.
The arrival of the third generation was just a small episode, and the preliminaries continued.
As the electronic screen in the hall turned, the first game officially began.
The first game was between Gekkou Gale and a ninja from the same village in Konoha, but Qianhe had no impression of that person, and he was soon defeated by Gekkou Gale's sword.
The second game...
...
The fifth game was between Ayane and the ninja from Sand Village. The opponent's strength was very mediocre in Qianhe's eyes, and he was easily defeated by Ayane.
It seems that the Sand Ninja was completely injured in the war, and now it is probably only able to compete with the Kirigakure Village for the position of the fifth of the five major countries.
Any ninja who can show off will not send such a weak Genin to participate in the Chunin exam.
The ninjas of Sand Village are obviously a level weaker than Konoha, and are far inferior to the ninjas sent by the Upper Rock Village.
As for the comparison with the three people from Kumogakure, there is even less comparison.
In Qianhe's opinion, those three people must be Chunin, and the shamelessness of Kumogakure is really beyond his imagination.
The sixth exam was again between a ninja from Sand Ninja and a ninja from Takigakure.
Surprisingly, they both lost in the end and were eliminated.
Then the seventh match was between Joey from Kumogakure, the muscular man with a knife, and the foundation man who had practiced for two and a half years.
The foundation man was defeated without any surprise, and in the end, one of his arms was cut off by Joey's beheading sword.
Especially when the foundation man admitted defeat and Hirata Takashi asked him to stop, he still didn't stop.
He just turned the sword that was originally chopped towards the foundation man's neck in another direction and cut off one of his arms.
Facing Joey's provocation, Hirata Takashi gave a stern warning, while Joey's face was nonchalantly "apologizing".
Before leaving, he also made a "throat-cutting" gesture to Qianhe, Caiyin, and Gekkou Jifeng.
At this time, there were only four people left outside the field who had not fought.
They are Chiho, the yellow-haired Daru from Kumogakure, and a ninja from Iwagakure.
The last one is also a ninja from Konoha. He wears green sunglasses, a long white coat, and a rice jar-like jar on his back. He has no expression on his face and looks very calm.
The white coat and sunglasses can only remind Chiho of the Aburame clan, but he really can't remember the name of this person.
"The eighth exam will begin." Hirata Takashi gave an order, and the electronic screen began to scroll.
Beep——
Chiho Kitahara VS Daru
"Hmph!" Daru sneered at Chiho on the opposite side, flipped over the railing, and jumped to the center of the hall.
"Chiho, hit him!"
At this time, Ayane next to Chiho waved her little fist in the air, with a "cold" face.
"Okay." Chiho walked to her side, pulled her pigtails, and then turned over and jumped down.
"The game begins!" Hirata Takashi gave an order, and then retreated to the back.
Daru, who was opposite Qianhe, sneered and was about to speak, but Qianhe suddenly stretched out his hand and said, "I have something to say before the fight."
"It's too late to beg for mercy now. I will crush your hands and feet! Let you know the gap between Konoha and my Kumogakure!" Daru showed a cruel smile on his face.
Qianhe had a blank expression, stretched out his left leg, leaned forward slightly, stretched his right hand behind his back, and grasped the hilt of the Butu sword at his waist.
"Forget it, let's talk after the fight..."
