Ebizou's eyelids were drooped, as if he had fallen asleep. However, although he had always lamented his lack of energy in old age, he would not fall asleep on such an occasion.
He felt a little uncomfortable in his heart as he watched Locke Lee displaying fluent physical skills on the field, forcing his opponent into a desperate situation step by step.
Last year, in the second test of the Chunin Exams, Shikamaru teamed up with several genin to kill the ninja Kagawa Qiman of the Sound Ninja Village. This made Konoha Village aware that Orochimaru was about to attack, and also learned that the Sound Ninja Village was still alive.
There were other ninja villages as accomplices, who had made preparations in advance, causing the invading Sunagakure Village to suffer heavy losses, and the casualties were much higher than in the original work.
After losing the Fourth Kazekage and suffering a major setback, Sunagakure Village almost fell into the most severe recession in history. This also forced Chiyo and Ebizo, two old ninjas who had long retired, to make a high-profile comeback and serve as elders and acting Kazekages.
Paving the way for the next Kazekage Gaara.
However, compared with Sunagakure Village, which is in a downturn as a whole, Konoha Village, which has also experienced the death of a Hokage and wars with other countries, is full of vitality. Just from this Chunin Examination, we can see that Konoha Village has shown
In terms of strength, within a few years, this group of extremely talented young people will be able to fully mature.
By the way, there is that even more terrifying genius. Ebizo thought of Shikamaru who defeated Gaara.
The results of the ninja school, killing Zabuza Momochi, the performance of the chunin exam, defeating the Jinchuuriki of Sunagakure Village, the strongest boy Gaara, becoming a chuunin in one year, and a jounin in two years...
Shikamaru's various achievements have fully demonstrated that he is the well-deserved leader of this generation of Konoha Village. He has talent and strength that others cannot match. He is a rare genius in decades, just like the fourth generation Hokage.
, Jiraiya and Orochimaru are valued by many Konoha ninjas.
As a one-tail jinchuriki, Gaara is undoubtedly the number one genius in Sunagakure Village, but he was defeated by Shikamaru. It can also be said that Sunagakure Village precedes Kirigakure Village and is separated from Konoha Village in terms of future potential.
The outcome was decided, which made Ebizo and other senior officials of Sunagakure Village feel uneasy.
Even as allies who support and help each other, they often need to prioritize. The alliance between the Country of Wind and the Country of Fire, and the Sunagakure Village and the Leaf Village is undoubtedly dominated by Konoha. Of course, the Sunagakure Village is not
Will be willing to do so.
The Kingdom of Water was founded, and the Kirigakure Village faced the ninja world with a positive attitude. This kind of news was not something that Konoha or any one party could hide at all. What's more, the strength of Sunagakure Village was not inferior to Konoha. How could
The message may not be received.
Sunagakure Village does not want Kirigakure Village to form an alliance with Kumogakure Village and invade Konoha Village. Sunagakure Village, which is undergoing various reforms such as education, does not want a war to break out in the ninja world - at least not now, it will not do them any good.
, but it can only be used to coerce Konoha Village to give more benefits and benefits to itself as an ally, which is undoubtedly what Sunagakure Village is happy to see.
Regardless of what Ebizo was thinking, Tsunade had already focused most of her attention on the competition. The excellent strength of the genin of Konoha Village was gradually revealed on this stage, which undoubtedly made her feel unspeakable excitement as the leader of Konoha Village.
.
They are the future of Konoha! Tsunade pursed her lips and thought. Fortunately, Rimu Ningji, Rock Lee, and Aburame Shino, the three most outstanding genin of Konoha, did not meet at the beginning of the game. There were more
With more opportunities to show off, there won't be much criticism if you are promoted to Chunin after the game.
…………
The game is going very fast, and the venue for the competition is not big. Let alone setting up traps, unless someone like Shikamaru possesses the "Shadow Imitation Technique", a ninjutsu that can take advantage of the location to reverse the situation in an instant, a head-on confrontation is inevitable.
situation.
It is undeniable that combat ability is one of the most important aspects of ninja quality, and today's competition format is mainly to allow candidates to demonstrate this.
What's more, Shikamaru felt that if they could pass the first round of the written test that he was taking, these genin already had the mental qualifications to become chuunin, and all they had to do next was to show their power.
Ri Xiang Neji, Rock Lee and Shino Aburame quickly defeated their respective opponents and successfully advanced to the next stage. In contrast, Kiba Inuzuka was defeated by Rock Lee, and Shino Aburame was defeated by Shino Aburame.
Ino Yamanaka, as the three genin with the highest voice in this exam, their battles did not have many surprises at all. Except for Rock Lee and Kiba Inuzuka, all ended in a short time.
In the subsequent competition, Tenten defeated another Taki ninja, leaving only one Waimura ninja in the third match of the Chunin Examination. In the hard battle between Nosakura, he won with a slight advantage, but by a huge margin
Most viewers know that with Rimu Hinata's strength, it may be difficult for her to continue in the next competition. Except for the two people who have not yet appeared, among the current candidates, she is definitely the weakest.
What Shikamaru was a little more concerned about was the palm technique she showed in the battle that had a vague shadow of "Ranshi Arashi". It can be seen that Hinata has not relaxed herself all the time, and is gradually improving and learning, but this
It is not easy to close the gap between her and her opponents.
Compared with the original work, Akimichi Choji, who has made great progress in both mind and strength, eliminated the last Taki Ninja Village candidate in the next competition, which allowed Konoha Genin to completely occupy the huge third test.
On the stage, he displayed the astonishingly destructive Akido secret taijutsu during the battle, which also attracted the attention of many audiences.
At this point in the game, it was already getting late. The audience's nerves were sometimes slackening and sometimes relaxing as the game progressed, and they also felt tired. It was impossible to watch the game all the time. The first day of the game ended here.
…………
After instructing his subordinates to arrange the next accommodation and meals for Hideo Mita and the daimyo representatives from the Kingdom of Wind, Shikamaru himself went to the Hokage Building to discuss with Tsunade, Jiraiya and others the matters related to going to the Kingdom of Water after the Chuunin Examination.
After all, he is the proposer of this plan and cannot be absent. He will go to Kirigakure Village as Tsunade's representative. Although Jiraiya is famous in the ninja world, in terms of status, he cannot legitimately represent Tsunade.
It serves more of a foil, a silent and direct threat.
As the proposer of the plan, Shikamaru will naturally not be excluded. He is an important candidate for the implementation of the plan. He is the most potential Jonin in Konoha Village at the moment, and is actually the nominal leader of this team.
Next are the three genin, Rock Lee, Riku Neji, and Aburame Shino, who performed well in this exam. Their identities will have become chuunin by then. Together with Kobayashi Qingyuan, the representative of the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, the entire
There are seven people in the team.
It's not huge, but it's not small. The Konoha team headed by it will come to Kirigakure Village for exchanges and negotiations. During this period, Shikamaru will propose to compete with the ninjas of Kirigakure Village, defeat their opponents one by one, and attack Kirigakure.
Village morale.
It's very simple to say, but if they want to undermine the morale of Kirigakure Village, Shikamaru and Rimu Neji, Rock Lee, and Aburame Shino must win beautifully. This places extremely high demands on the strength of the three of them.
After all, that is the home ground of the Mist Ninja.
…………
The game on the second day entered a climax from the very beginning. Ri Xiang Neji faced off against Rock Lee. The duel between two friends and foes who were equally good at physical arts but had very different styles aroused the cheers of the audience outside the venue.
Xiang Neci was obviously not prepared to compete with Rock Lee, who was very good at high-speed physical skills. He had focused on defense from the beginning and adopted a static braking strategy. He had Byakugan and the same speed, even if Li Locke put down his weight.
Locke's power was fully activated, but it was difficult to defeat him. Instead, he consumed a lot of energy and seemed to be at a disadvantage.
It's just that Ri Xiang Neji is very aware of the power of Rock Lee's trump card "Eight Doors Dungeon". Even Shikamaru is unwilling to face the edge of this forbidden technique - although he doesn't have to face the edge - but it can be seen that Rock Lee will use it by then.
strength.
The significance of mastering the absolute speed advantage is to have the ability to leave the battlefield at any time. This is an important part of the physical skills taught by Akai, and it is also the key to his ability to spend time on the battlefield to open the door in his body at any time.
Rixiang Neji was unwilling to engage in high-speed physical combat with Rock Lee. In terms of speed, he did not have an advantage. A fierce chase would only consume his energy. This also gave Rock Lee more initiative.
When you have time, open the inner door and use "Eight Gate Dunjia".
…………
Boom! Boom!
Locke Li, who used the Eight Gate Dunjia and opened the five gates in his body, seemed to have a huge force with every punch and kick. The explosive power gave him an even more amazing speed. Along with the mud and dust flying under his feet, Locke Li ran as fast as he could.
, his figure seems to disappear from the naked eyes of the audience.
Damn it!
Rock Lee's speed at this time was almost impossible for Ri Xiang Neji to keep up with. Only by relying on the Byakugan to catch the opponent's figure, and then relying on "Kaiten" to counterattack and defend, could he have 100% confidence in resisting his attack.
"Victory belongs to me!" Rixiang Neji thought expressionlessly. "Eight Gate Dungeon" is basically a double-edged sword. The explosive power brings great side effects. If it cannot be done in the shortest time,
If the enemy is eliminated within the target, the user will definitely lose.
Rock Lee's strength was not enough to break Kaiten's defense, and the eye-roll directed at Neji gave him enough insight to capture the opponent's movements.
At this moment, Rock Lee's "Eight Gate Dungeon" instead became a "helper" to help Rimu Neji win faster. After Locke Lee's attacks failed one after another, the effect of using "Eight Gate Dungeon" finally dissipated.
Rock Lee, who still refused to admit defeat, finally fainted under the pressure of Neji's acupuncture attack.
The winner of the first round, Rixiang Neji!
This is probably the most exciting round in the third match, Shikamaru thought to himself as he looked at Riku Neji who was panting heavily.
Ri told Neji not to mention that his talents were already at the level of an elite chuunin, and his physical skills were comparable to those of a jounin. After learning the Bagua Kung Palm, he made up for one of his own shortcomings, plus his communication with Shikamaru.
After some discussion, I believe it won’t take long to be promoted to Jonin.
As for Locke Li, with his high-speed physical skills and the explosive power of the "Eight Door Dungeon", it is no longer something that ordinary chunin can deal with head-on. What's more, the rampant fighting style can indeed accelerate the secretion of adrenaline. In this regard
Aburame Shino is incomparable no matter what.
(I’ve been really busy these past two days, not to mention surfing the Internet. Today I feel a little stymied when typing on the computer. The last batch of orders has finally been completed. Although I’m sorry to have disappeared these past few days, I still feel relieved.
What a tone...)
(I read the comments in the book review area and went on QQ again. I feel so guilty_. I will update more in the next few days.)
