"Shikamaru, who do you think will be the winner in this competition?" Sarutobi Asuma did not answer Shikamaru's question, but changed the topic very bluntly, leading several people to the competition.
Although Asuma's technique of changing the topic was extremely blunt, Shikamaru was not dissatisfied at all. He knew the meaning of Asma's behavior and was telling Shikamaru that the question he asked in very clear and simple words was not
As a genin, he could ask, so Shikamaru followed Asuma's words and looked at the two people in the examination room seriously, thinking.
As the protagonist of the original work, Naruto is the jinchūriki of the Nine-Tails, and has a stubborn character. It is impossible for him to lose, even if he is tied up by Ken Micheng's special locking technique at the beginning and loses the opportunity.
, but with Naruto's stubborn personality, he will definitely not admit defeat. In terms of toughness and potential, Ken Meicheng will not be Naruto's opponent at all. The only thing to worry about is that Naruto is because of Ken Meicheng's
Locking skills and being in danger, triggering the rampage of the Nine-Tails chakra - after all, Naruto has not been trained by the Sage Jiraiya at this time, and cannot properly utilize the power of the Nine-Tails - At that time, many invigilators in Konoha
They will definitely step forward to stop the game, and the result will probably be nothing. In this case, the possibility of Naruto winning is very small.
"Naruto!" Although he has traveled to the world of Naruto, it means that this world is no longer a simple comic story, and Naruto cannot die, but after all, he has a lot of cheating props. In comparison,
It was not possible to use the sword, Misumi, so Shikamaru still said his choice calmly: "He has very good energy, and the amount of chakra is definitely not low, and the shadow clone technique is not so easy to crack among genin.
.”
After Ino and Choji heard Shikamaru's words, they observed Naruto carefully and found that according to the time, Naruto had just passed through the Death Forest not long ago, but at this time, his face did not look tired, and his resilience was strong.
The energy is truly amazing.
"Where are Ino and Choji?" Asuma did not make a judgment on Shikamaru's answer, but turned to ask the other two subordinates.
"Shikamaru and I have chosen the same one, and we are optimistic about Naruto." Chouji smiled honestly, the second exam was over, and he no longer kept the bag of potato chips he had saved, and was ready to "reward" himself so that he could take over.
It may be a tough battle down the road.
"My opinion is a little different." Ino glanced at Shikamaru complicatedly, and after thinking for a while, he said to several people: "Although the Konoha genin named Kenmizumi has taken many exams, he has failed.
He was promoted to Chuunin, and his strength seems not to be very good, but after taking so many rigorous exams, he did not die or suffer any irreparable damage, which shows the strength of the other party!"
Ino said, raising her chin slightly, glanced at Shikamaru with a hint of contentment, and continued to analyze: "The opponent must have some powerful methods, not to mention that Kenmizumi has been a genin for many years and has participated in many chunin exams.
, I am afraid that his actual combat ability is not low, and he is rich in experience. Naruto is not very smart, so he may not be the opponent of Kenmizumi!"
"Pah! Pah! Pah!" After Asuma heard Ino's words, he clapped his hands gently with a look of appreciation, causing Ino's cheeks to blush and she smiled shyly.
"Ino's analysis is very reasonable. In fact, I shouldn't reveal it in advance, but I will explain it when I explain the rules of the third exam later, so I will tell you," Asuma chuckled and said to Shikamaru, Ino and Din.
The third person said: "Actually, the third round of the Chuunin Exam does not necessarily depend on strength to be promoted to Chunin, but on overall performance. The reason why strength is used as a promotion condition is for the sake of the ordinary audience.
In fact, he is still the leader of the Ninja Village who is a ninja!"
What Asuma means is that Ino's analysis is probably right. Kenmizumi may indeed be a terrifying enemy with good means, strength, experience and sophistication - although this fear is only for ordinary genin.
.
…………
Just as Shikamaru, Ino, Choji and Asuma were discussing the outcome of the battle between Uzumaki Naruto and Kenmizumi, the pharmacist gave up on his own to continue participating in the preliminaries for the Chuunin exam and left from the tower corridor.
Kabuto stopped in a corridor.
At one end of the corridor, under the dim light, there was a slender man with long black hair leaning against the wall, arms folded, as if he had been waiting here for a long time.
"You abstained again, Kabuto." The slender man with long black hair and pale face, who exuded an evil charm, stood up straight when he saw Yakushi Kabuto appear, and after licking the corners of his mouth,
He said with a smile: "This has been the case for several consecutive years. Your performance is too outstanding. If this continues, your identity will soon be exposed. I am afraid that by this time, you have aroused the suspicion of Konoha's senior officials.
!You are an incompetent spy!"
Yakushi Kabuto smiled faintly after hearing the man's words, habitually pushed his eyes on the bridge of his nose, and said: "Lord Orochimaru, since you have planned to destroy Konoha Village, then my identity as a spy
, what’s the use? Are you not confident enough in your plans and abilities? Do you think you can’t destroy Konoha?”
The man talking to Kabuto Yakushi at this time turned out to be Orochimaru, one of Konoha's "Three Ninjas", a man with both genius and evil qualities.
Orochimaru was not angry when he heard Yakushi Kabuto's question, and said in a magnetic voice: "Although Konoha still has many talents, it is a pity that they are no longer available. Those who can support this village now can only rely on the older generation.
Just Yu Ze, these two old guys, Sarutobi-sensei and Danzo, have not been completely forgotten in the ninja world, and that idiot Jiraiya seems to have changed his job and become a writer, but this will not make people
I feel like he has disappeared and I am always afraid of his existence."
"But Jiraiya has left the village for many years, and Danzo, this old guy, has a sinister personality, like a mouse, always likes to hide in the dark, and is not known to most people in the Konoha village. He really supports Konoha.
The trunk of a big tree is still Mr. Sarutobi." After Orochimaru said this, he stretched out his long scarlet tongue and licked the corner of his mouth, looking slightly excited: "Whether it is prestige, influence, or his own strength, as long as I
Killing him alone in public, combined with the external attacks of ninjas from Sunagakure Village and Oto Ninja Village, Konoha will definitely be unable to withstand such an attack, not to mention this Chunin Examination, many daimyo and celebrities from many countries will
Watch, when my plan is launched, when they see the collapse and weakness of Konoha, they will no longer choose to employ this person in the future. Financial resources will be reduced, casualties will occur, and Konoha Village will definitely collapse!"
"But I heard that it seems that Kawakawa Saiman's body was obtained by the ninjas of Konoha Village? Won't this affect your plan?" Yakushi Kabuto frowned, and when he mentioned Kawakawa Saiman, he seemed a little disdainful.
Orochimaru heard Yakushi Kabuto mentioning Kagawa Saiman. Although he chuckled, a trace of anger and murderous intent flashed in his eyes, but it was not because of the possible leakage of information, but because he was annoyed that the selected subordinates were so useless, and spoke
He said: "He doesn't have my trust as much as you do. He only knows that I plan to destroy Konoha and want to get Sasuke-kun."
"But it's really surprising that he was killed by a few brats!" Orochimaru sneered and said, "It's a pity that even if Konoha knew what I was planning and raised its defenses, it would be of no use."
Orochimaru chose to take the Chunin Exam because it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
During the Chunin Examination, due to the importance of the exam, Konoha's deployment around the examination room requires a lot of manpower, and the corresponding peripheral defense must be a bit weaker. The ninjas of Sound Ninja Village and Sunagakure Village can take advantage of Orochimaru's presence.
When the internal examination venue attracts attention, use Gaara's ability to attack from the outside. Of course, now because of Kawakawa Saiman's mistake, this advantage will be reduced, but it still has a certain use.
"This fool, the Fourth Kazekage, actually wants to kill Sarutobi-sensei with his own hands. Do you think I don't know his plan? Is it just to improve the status of Sunagakure Village and the Kazekage in the ninja world? How could I let him?
If he gets his wish, of course I should kill Sarutobi-sensei with my own hands!" Orochimaru sneered, and then said: "Just in time, I will take advantage of this time when he is on his way to and from Konoha, and cooperate with Kimimaro to kill him.
, disguise it so that you can easily contact Sarutobi-sensei."
Kabuto Yakushi silently mourned for the Fourth Kazekage in his heart. A person like Orochimaru had a particularly deep obsession with the teacher who had a great influence on him in his childhood. If he really wanted to kill him, it would be impossible for others to do it.
Taking action, the Fourth Kazekage wanted to kill Sarutobi Hiruzen with his own hands to become famous in the ninja world, but instead it aroused Orochimaru's strong murderous intention.
"..." Kabuto Yakushi was silent for a moment and then asked: "What about Sasuke? What should he do?"
"He still needs strength and growth." When Orochimaru heard Kabuto Yakushi talking about Sasuke, his expression became slightly excited, as if he was thinking of the gift he had long desired: "Now is not the time, let's let the Konoha guys strictly
Watch over him and let him experience this depressing feeling!"
"But Uzumaki Naruto..." Kabuto Yakushi thought of the Uzumaki Naruto he had come into contact with and his influence on Uchiha Sasuke, and said, "What about that child's influence on Sasuke?"
"It's useless." Orochimaru sneered and answered Yakushi Kabuto's question: "If Sasuke, like his brother, had always been the number one among his peers, he wouldn't be impatient and eager for power. It's a pity that he can't.
There is an interesting child here, and Sasuke is firmly suppressed by him. As long as he is still here, Sasuke, who is carrying the mission of revenge, will become anxious."
Yakushi Kabuto's heart moved, and he asked Orochimaru: "Is it Nara Shikamaru? As for that child..., although he has some talent, he is only a member of the Nara clan, and his potential is far inferior to that of the Uchiha clan.
"
"Don't underestimate that kid, I've seen him...," Orochimaru's expression changed slightly after hearing Kabuto Yakushi's words. Obviously, the other person's words made him unable to calm down, and he said, "He knows his disadvantages, and this is the most important thing."
A terrible place…”
Orochimaru's eyes were dark, but he did not say that he saw a familiar shadow in Shikamaru. He was also a genius among ordinary people, but he had to face the impact of the descendants of an extraordinary tribe.
Orochimaru didn't understand the gap between the two until he really came into contact with Uchiha Itachi, and he also worked hard to find a way to smooth out the inequality caused by fate. As for Shikamaru...
Orochimaru slowly licked the corner of his mouth, but there was no seal, and the figure quickly disappeared, leaving only a faint smoke and a sentence that seemed to be murmuring to himself, leaving the pharmacist Kabuto.
"I am really looking forward to this exam more and more..."
Orochimaru is looking forward to this exam so much, but not just for Uchiha Sasuke!
