Chapter 364 Acceleration
After the first game ended with Naruto's victory, in the following time, under the constant scrolling of the big screen in the arena, one battle after another was in full swing.
Although the number of people who have come to the final round of assessment is set at 150.
However, in the previous Death Forest assessment, many team members who won the banner and passed the assessment were injured and attrited.
There are only more than 120 people who can actually participate in the final assessment.
Entering the next round through a two-on-one duel, since the genin generally do not fight for too long, one day is enough.
After that, as time passed unconsciously, a series of dazzling fierce battles such as the collision of ninja tools, the confrontation of taijutsu, the blooming of ninjutsu, etc., were watched by 80,000 spectators and countless people in the ninja world in front of the TV.
Watch what happens next.
While arousing applause after round, the team of more than 120 people also ushered in the final top 16 candidates after multiple rounds of elimination.
……
"The winner, Shino Aburame!"
Amidst the sound of Kankuro falling to the ground unwillingly, and with the referee Uchiha Aya's announcement, Aburame Shino calmly pushed up her sunglasses.
……
"Damn it! This woman's fists are so heavy!"
After a fierce collision, Omoi couldn't help but fly backwards. He looked at his trembling hands holding the ninja sword, and then looked at Kurotsuchi, who was wrapping his fist around the rock and charging towards him again. The corners of his eyes couldn't help but twitch.
"If the beating continues, I will most likely be beaten to death."
In the end, after being unable to defeat the fourth generation Tsuchikage in the original history, Omoi had no choice but to admit defeat after several attempts to no avail.
"Victor, Black Earth!"
……
"Haha! I didn't expect you, Sakura, to be lucky enough to get here. It's so great!"
Love rivals Xiang Lu and Xiao Sakura meet.
With the former cheering and the latter looking ugly, the battle quickly started.
Seriously speaking, Sakura, who has mastered medical ninjutsu and is outstanding in illusions, has made it all the way to this point by relying on her own strength.
But when faced with being from the Uzumaki clan, mastering the sealing technique, and activating the fragrant phosphorus blocked by King Kong, he was still defeated in the end.
Soon, the stage was filled with Xiang Ling's extremely proud declaration: "Loser! Sasuke must be mine!"
"...Victor, Uzumaki Phosphorus."
……
"Victor, Gaara!"
……
"Victor, Xiao Li!"
……
Along with the announcement of results one after another, the list of top 16 is released.
Naruto, Sasuke, Lee, Neji, Hinata, Shino, Nobu, Shikamaru, Gaara, Kosoki, Kurotsuchi, Hydrangea, Temari, Suigetsu, etc.
After a simple rest for a quarter of an hour, with the help of medical ninjas, the sixteen people who had all recovered from their previous injuries and had their chakra replenished continued to fight.
Sasuke vs. Ghost Light and Suigetsu. With the Thunderbolt completely defeating the opponent, he won easily.
In the case of fragrant phosphorus vs. hydrangea and sealing vs. necromancy, the former who is more skilled wins.
Shikamaru and Temari are still the same. The former relied on resourcefulness to control Temari, but in the end he took the initiative to admit defeat and gained the girl's heart at a small loss.
……
At the end of Sixteen to Eight, the Hyuga civil war between Neji and Hinata ended with Neci, who was separated from the family but gained the knowledge of the clan's soft fist, winning.
"What a pity."
On the VIP stage, watching her sister's failure, Hinata Hanabi applauded gently and couldn't help but quietly look at her father with the corner of her eyes.
Hinata and Hinata are also clapping.
Although the clan member was defeated by the branch family member, his face did not show any strangeness, and there was no disappointment in his eyes when he looked at Hinata.
‘Times are changing. Maybe... it’s time for the family to change too.’
Finally, he set his sights on Ningci. Thinking of the will expressed by Yun Ting before and the past of the Byakugan lineage on the moon that he learned from the other party, Hinata and Hinata's eyes flashed, and he gradually made up his mind.
......
With the end of the battle between Neji and Hinata, the top eight list was released.
They are Naruto, Sasuke, Li, Neji, Shino, Gaara, Kosoki, and Kurotsuchi.
Afterwards, Naruto fought against Neji and won; Sasuke fought against Shino, attacking within the range of the Chidori style. The insects shattered one after another, breaking Shino's undefeated golden body; Xianglan was defeated by Kurotsuchi; and Xiao Li was still defeated by Gaara.
.
It is worth noting that when Xiao Li, who had opened the Eight Gate Dungeon, wanted to continue opening the door regardless of his own safety, the referee Uchiha Aya knocked him out and directly judged Gaara as the winner.
It's not like facing the enemy. In a contest between one's own people, this extreme practice of killing eight hundred enemies and losing one thousand to oneself is expressly prohibited in this chunin exam.
Of course, Xiao Li's elimination does not mean that he cannot be promoted to Chunin this time.
After an assessment of more than 2,000 people, it would be too ambitious if only a few people were selected in the end.
It can be said that not only the current top eight, but also those who entered the top 16 before have already guaranteed to become chuunin.
As for chunin requirements such as qualified leadership and judgment skills.
To take a typical case, the hot-blooded and impulsive Naruto is definitely not suitable.
But in reality, with Naruto's current strength in a Chuunin mission, even if he encounters various problems along the way, he can still get through it alone and overwhelm everything with his strength.
For such a person, do you think it is appropriate for him to become a ninja again and do various low-level tasks?
In the past, Konoha was too rigid in terms of ninja ratings. Now, after some reforms in the Kingdom of Ninja under the leadership of Yunting, ninja ratings are still more related to strength.
As for those who are not suitable to lead team members, then they can simply join the elite unit and work peacefully as a thug.
Now Naruto, Sasuke, and even Hinata and others who were eliminated before have been confirmed to be promoted to chunin.
The reason why we continue to fight.
Naturally, we have to decide the final winner of this Chunin Examination.
The crooked logic of friendship first and competition second does not work in the ninja world.
With the last two scrolls of the arena big screen.
The semi-final list is confirmed.
Sasuke versus Gaara.
Naruto vs. Kurotsuchi.
The first showdown.
Although Gaara does not have one tail, his own strength has not weakened, but has made further progress with sufficient energy.
The huge sea of sand and the vital sand left by my mother have impressed people in all the previous competitions.
When Sasuke learned Chidori early, he had Itachi as his teacher, which not only allowed him to develop the Chidori style in advance, but also in the recent special training, after experiencing some severe genjutsu training from Itachi, the Sharingan was developed.
The second magatama evolved into the third magatama.
In the fight with Gaara, compared to the Thunder Style, the illusion technique undoubtedly made the former suffer more.
In the sky full of crows flying together, Sasuke defeated Gaara with difficulty and advanced to the finals by relying on the reflection of the Sharingan in the eyes of a crow that he didn't expect.
The second showdown.
With the explosion of melting, earth and even water types that Kurotsuchi picked up at his fingertips, as well as Naruto's vigorous use of the multiple shadow clone techniques and the battle of the Rasengan, the commotion caused was far greater than any previous one.
Violent.
If it weren't for the fact that there were barriers guarding the venue on all sides, I'm afraid that this venue that accommodates 80,000 people would have been completely destroyed by the two people's ninjutsu.
This battle lasted longer than the previous one between Sasuke and Gaara.
In the end, Kurotsuchi, who could not match Naruto in terms of chakra volume, had no choice but to lose.
Chapter completed!
