After passing through the woodland, the next check-in point is in the center of the lake, and the next check-in point immediately after is at the top of the mountain.
Running in the forest, running through water, and climbing over mountains include most of the ninja's marching skills assessment.
The handling and resolution of various unexpected situations involve a series of related skills such as combat, intelligence investigation, and medical assistance.
At around twelve o'clock in the evening, Konoha, as a city that never sleeps, is in full swing.
"After eleven hours! Thirteen hundred kilometers of hellish running! Finally! Someone completed the assessment first!"
"Compared to previous years, the best results in history have not been refreshed!"
It was not that difficult in previous years, and its difficulty increased year by year based on the performance of the candidates.
“Then, this year’s Rookie King will be!
"
"Appeared!
"
"Tights! Watermelon head! Youthful and passionate talking! I am Akai, remember! Konoha's blue beast! Class B of the sixth year of Konoha Ninja School, it is Metkai!
Big upset!
Oh! My Hokage! Someone will be awake all night tonight! I hope there is no such lovely figure of yours on the rooftop!"
The hosts who changed shifts were still full of enthusiasm.
After walking around the city for a whole week, with a burned-out attitude and zombie-like steps, the young man raised his head and ran hard on the main road.
"Gentlemen! Ladies! Let us cheer together! For the winner..."
The young man could no longer hear what was being said and was walking heavily.
"No! Wait! Someone is coming!"
"They didn't give up! They didn't give up! They still persisted!"
"Uchiha Shisui!"
"Bet on the pride of the Uchiha clan! I cannot give this victory and glory to you!"
"Kakashi Hatake!
"
"Genius has no talent! His hard work and roar! Do you see it now!"
"This is youth and blood! It's burning with abandon!"
In the wine shop, cheers rang out enthusiastically, and people raised their glasses to cheer.
"It's really not easy for children in Ninja School."
The adults here don't think they have this terrible perseverance, but just looking at it is amazing.
“Who will win the championship——!”
"No!
The Kai player who maintained the advantage fell down! Has his physical strength been exhausted? Has his physical strength been exhausted? Can he still get up?"
"For the two people behind, this is an opportunity!"
"Is this an opportunity?"
"no!"
"Getting up! Kai Kai is climbing! Even if he is crawling, even if he is in embarrassment, he must climb into victory! What a belief!"
I really lost to this guy.
Mohu looked at the crawling figure in front of him with his eyes closed. His consciousness was already close to Mohu. After eleven hours of high-intensity consumption, without eating or drinking in the middle, he had reached his limit.
His limp feet missed the mark, and the young man fell forward.
"It's here again! Player Shisui has arrived! Is it over here! Is it over here!"
"We are just a little short of victory ahead! Do you want to give up here?"
The moment the difficulty surpassed Shisui's, Kakashi relaxed and fell to the ground.
"Don't be a coward, dog!" said the weak Mi Hu.
"Who are you cowardly?" Zhishui Mihu responded.
"Player Kakashi! Player Kakashi! We have reached our limit! However, the two players seem to be communicating in a friendly manner! It is such a touching and passionate friendship!"
"A miracle happened! A miracle happened!"
"Experienced a friendly exchange and mutual encouragement! The two of them worked together again! Squeezing out the last bit of strength and climbing towards victory!"
"What a touching and pure friendship!"
"I cried!"
"An unprecedented spectacle! The top three players are all trying their best to crawl!"
"What perseverance! How wonderful!"
"Who will be the final champion! It will be announced soon!
"
"Let's just wait and see!"
"The last hundred meters! The final sprint!"
"It's slow, but exciting!"
"Fifty meters!"
"Thirty meters!"
"Ten meters!"
"The last meter!"
The audience clenched their fists and silently cheered for these persistent boys.
"Climb quickly!"
"It's just a little bit close!"
"Come on! Don't stop!"
"The road stretches ahead!"
“Come on, come on, come on!~”
Shadows were projected one after another, standing on the sidelines waving and cheering, shouting.
“Crossing the line!
"
"The new king is born! It's Metkai!
"
"The sweat will not lie! Please take a good look at it! The hard work will bear fruit! Sweet and fragrant!"
"I burst into tears!"
"Let's congratulate him together!"
"Mai-t-kai~~!
"
Cheers rang out from every house in the city, and the emergency medical team that had been prepared outside the scene brought stretchers and took away the exhausted three people.
Reporters from the news channel rushed forward impatiently, surrounded Metkai, who was in first place, and conducted first-hand interviews.
"May I ask what you think about the new king?"
"Who do you want to thank the most at this moment?"
"Kai-san~Kai-san~"
"What are your expectations for the future?"
A step outside the court, the old man with a watermelon head in tight clothes looked at his son, already sobbing.
Kai was also crying, with snot and tears streaming down his face. He looked at the microphone handed to him in the chaos, and said weakly: "What I want to say is, even if you are a fool who can't do anything, as long as you work hard, you can do it."
Defeat the genius!"
"What an idiot..."
The adults all laughed.
"There has never been a genius in the world. You are a genius at this moment."
Someone among the ninjas watching the battle said.
"Hard-working genius."
And many ordinary children, looking at Kai, their eyes gradually glowed.
He is like a great hero.
I also want to be like him and fight with all my strength.
"What did I say? Look! It must be Xiao Kai!" In the small house, sitting cross-legged around the table, a group of young grandmothers over 100 years old were watching TV, eating late-night snacks and drinking beer. The air was filled with joy.
Tong, who had a neat high ponytail, princess-cut bangs, and a housewife's attire, said excitedly and happily with a flushed face: "You lose! I win!"
There is no sign of disease on the beautiful and healthy face.
"What kind of devil's daily training did you arrange for him?" Zhili complained in a low voice: "It's a miracle that he didn't die."
"No! He added it himself!" Tong said: "Twenty-four hours a day, I can't stop at all! I am a gentle woman!
"
The drunken boy slapped the table repeatedly.
"It's all your fault." Jiri glanced at Tsunade and said, "I have to bet on Shisui to win."
"Hmph hum..." Tsunade hummed a few times as she held the drink with blurred eyes.
It's none of my business!
It makes no sense!
"Hiccup—! I'm the Hokage! Subordinates can't talk to their bosses! Jiri!"
On one side, Meiji was lying on the table, holding her face with one hand and shaking the wine glass with the other. The mask was placed on the table.
The Aburame clan is forbidden to drink alcohol. Their out-of-control brains will give random instructions, causing the insect swarm to go berserk, resulting in a lesson of blood and tears.
This was especially obvious with the former Mei Ji.
Therefore, Mei Ji will never touch alcohol.
But now, it is no longer a problem as it is managed by the backend and handed over to Yin Fu for processing.
This is what is called growing up.
However, it doesn't matter whether you win or lose, they are all my cute workers.
Anyway...
"One more drink~"
Raising the glass, Meiji smiled sweetly.
This is life.
"Hi~"
Three hands pressed on the wine bottle at the same time.
The three of them looked at each other.
Under the paralysis of alcohol, his true nature is exposed.
With a bang, the bottle exploded.
"What happened?" Mei Ji Mihu asked.
"No!"
The three of them waved their hands in succession.
