"Don't be nervous!" A slightly frivolous voice came into the ears of Naruto who was looking around. As the referee, Shiranui Genma didn't know when he turned around. After seeing Naruto Uzumaki's performance, he was slightly dissatisfied and said with a
In a warning tone, he said: "Fat your faces to the audience! You are the protagonists of today's selection competition!"
After Uzumaki Naruto heard Shiranui Genma's words, he was shocked. He was as nervous as him. Only then did he come back to his senses and focus on the game. He felt the atmosphere in the field and the shouts from the audience.
There were endless sounds of whistles and whistles, and with his eyesight he could clearly see that the audience was watching these candidates with great interest.
"Gulu!" Uzumaki Naruto clenched his fists unnaturally, swallowed his saliva, and his palms were filled with sweat from unknown time.
Competing and fighting in front of so many spectators is indeed not an easy task, and it has also caused a certain amount of psychological pressure on some candidates, including Uzumaki Naruto.
Uzumaki Naruto secretly looked at the candidates beside him from the corner of his eye, and found that except for Akimichi Choji and Yamanaka Ino, who looked a little unnatural, the other genin didn't see anything unusual in their appearance. They all seemed to be very good.
Calm down, thinking of this, he secretly gritted his teeth and pretended to be nonchalant.
"You're so lucky that all three genin in your team passed the preliminaries." Above the stands, Asuma Sarutobi was observing the performance of the candidates in the examination room, when his female companion Yuhi Kurenai suddenly sighed with emotion.
"There is indeed a certain amount of luck." Asuma Sarutobi nodded, not completely denying Yuhi Kurenai's words. In addition to Shikamaru, the promotions of Ino Yamanaka and Choji Akimichi did have a huge factor of luck.
Including, but he also emphasized the word "certainly". After all, being able to reach this point cannot be just relying on luck. The two of them do have a certain degree of strength, especially with the cooperation of Shikamaru.
, you can maximize your personal secrets and abilities.
Speaking of which, Shikamaru is considered Asuma Sarutobi's elder brother. He wanted to date Yuhi Kurenai before the Chunin Exam. Unfortunately, although Sarutobi Asma is considered the second generation of Konoha Village, he has no intention of pursuing Kurenai Yuhi.
There isn't much of a bonus, not to mention that Sarutobi Hiruzen has such high popularity and charm in the Leaf Village. He has never been a person who likes to use power for personal gain. Even Sarutobi Asuma himself doesn't like it either.
Talking about his father, not to mention Yuhi Kurenai is also a jounin. With her character, if Sarutobi Asuma really wants to show off based on her father's status, it will only make the other party more disgusted.
Because they were catching up with the chunin exams, the two made a bet. In view of the fact that Sarutobi Asuma often mentioned his disciple Nara in the meetings of the mentoring jounin of Konoha genin classes 7, 8 and 10 from time to time.
Shikamaru was talking about it, Yuhi Kurenai was unhappy, and the content of the bet was whether Nara Shikamaru could defeat Hyuga Neji of the Hyuga clan.
The final result made Sarutobi Asuma overjoyed. Although he had absolute confidence in Shikamaru, he did not expect that he would defeat Hinata Neji in the preliminaries so quickly, giving him the opportunity to invite Yuhi Kurenai to watch the official selection.
.
After hearing what Asuma Sarutobi said, Kurenai Yuhi chuckled. It was different from the weak or pretentious behavior of ordinary women. When she laughed, she subconsciously covered her mouth. As a ninja, Kurenai Yuhi felt happy and did not laugh.
Covering up, the corners of the mouth are pulled, with a hint of sassy temperament, the bright eyes are slightly narrowed, the willow eyebrows are curved, and it looks a bit charming.
"Shikamaru looks very confident." After Yuhi Kurenai smiled, she turned her gaze to Shikamaru in the examination room and whispered: "He doesn't seem nervous at all!"
In the eyes of experienced Jonin, although several candidates in the examination room had a calm expression and seemed not to be frightened by the enthusiasm of the audience in the examination room, they either clenched their fists or hid their hands in their pockets.
His movements have shown abnormalities.
Among the eight candidates, only two had no emotional fluctuations such as excitement or timidity in Yuhi's red eyes - Nara Shikamaru and Gaara.
Compared to their companions, who entered the venue and heard the cheers from the audience, they changed their movements and postures to hide their inner uneasiness. The two of them entered the examination room and stood in a row under Shiranui Genma's order.
, he made no unnecessary movements from beginning to end, his hands naturally dropped to the sides of his legs, and his fingers spread out casually. Gaara just glanced at the stands where the Hokage and Kazekage were located at the highest end of the building, and then withdrew his gaze.
, seemed to be absorbed in thinking about other things, not paying attention to the audience's eyes at all. Shikamaru, after scanning some familiar figures in the auditorium, smiled slightly, also withdrew his attention, lowered his eyelids slightly, and gathered energy.
.
Shikamaru would not feel uncomfortable in this environment, nor would he have such high self-esteem that he would think that this game was like a "monkey slip" and "insult" himself.
In this world, when it comes to the level of profession, there really is no comparable superior ninja. Without him, the powerful power gives the ninja amazing destructive and lethality, and awe begins with power. The ninja is already mysterious and mysterious in this world.
Synonymous with power, the purpose of holding the Chuunin Exam is also to make the Ninja Village and the candidates famous through this kind of event. If this can hurt self-esteem, it can only be said that there is something wrong in my heart.
If Gaara's existence and the approaching war were not taken into consideration, Shikamaru would seriously prepare for his performance in this exam. Unfortunately, with the threat of Shukaku nearby and the coming invasion from far away, he was not in the mood to think about anything else.
I just want to focus all my energy on the upcoming battle.
"Everyone in the audience!" A loud voice suddenly came from the stands at the highest point of the examination room. Although Sarutobi Hiruzen was an old man, he had an amazing voice and a long breath.
Hearing the sound coming from the stands, the audience also shut up one by one, and the entire venue turned from noisy to quiet in a short period of time.
"Thank you all for taking the time to come and watch the Chunin Selection Examination held by our Konoha Ninja Village!" Seeing that the venue became quiet, Sarutobi Hiruzen said with satisfaction: "From now on, the candidates who pass the preliminaries will be selected.
The nine candidates will compete in the chunin selection competition!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen said this, waved his hand, and shouted energetically to the audience watching him: "Then please enjoy the game!"
The style of the ninja destined Sarutobi Hiruzen to make an introduction and speech before the exam, but he would not be as lengthy as a bureaucrat. After just a few words, he thanked the audience for coming and announced the start of the competition.
