Chapter 143 There is no strongest, only stronger (second update)
"Your Highness, during your battle with Orochimaru, did he reveal any useful information?"
In the high tower, after asking about Hongdou, Sandai turned his attention to Li Chuan.
Li Chuan pretended to think for a moment, and then replied:
"I think he seems to be here for Sasuke's Sharingan. Maybe he wants to seize the Sharingan. I suggest that it would be better to send more people to protect Sasuke secretly."
At present, the information is not available, so of course Orochimaru cannot be allowed to plant a curse seal on Sasuke so easily.
The third generation nodded and ordered Kakashi and Kai:
"We can't let Orochimaru take Sasuke's eyes. Please make another trip and look after them in secret. But if Orochimaru doesn't show up, don't interfere with their exams."
He couldn't let Sasuke be in danger, because that was his promise to Itachi, and more importantly, once something happened to Sasuke, Itachi might really become a rebellious ninja.
Kakashi and Gai are both elite jounin. One has the Sharingan and is proficient in five attribute ninjutsu, and the other is super strong in taijutsu. The two of them can defeat each other even if Orochimaru cannot be defeated.
"Yes, Hokage-sama."
Kakashi and Kai nodded and left first.
After Kakashi and Kai left, the third generation turned to Li Chuan again, with a grateful look on his face:
"Your Majesty, thank you very much for your help this time."
He meant what he said. If Li Chuan hadn't dragged Orochimaru out, the result would never have been this.
Li Chuan waved his hand and said with a smile:
"Hokage-sama, you are so polite. I regard Sasuke and the others as my younger brothers and sisters.
Moreover, Konoha represents our Fire Nation and is also the foundation of our Fire Nation. How can I, the king, watch the rebel ninja cause chaos in the village and damage the prestige of Konoha, especially in this special period."
He paused for a moment and sighed deliberately.
"It's a pity that I don't have enough talent and strength to take down Orochimaru, so I can only hold him back."
After hearing Li Chuan's words, the expressions on the third generation were a little strange, but they finally comforted:
"This is not His Highness the Prince's fault, it is my dereliction of duty as the Hokage. Your Highness, you entered the Fire Temple and officially started to learn ninjutsu. It has been less than a year, and with your current strength, you are already said to be a rare genius in the world.
"
After knowing that Li Chuan, the prince of the Fire Country, was the ninja monk of the Fire Temple in the Land of Waves, the Third Generation sent ninjas to the capital to collect information about Li Chuan, and even asked his son Asuma to preside over the Fire Temple.
I wrote to inquire.
The results he got also surprised him.
It turns out that Prince Li Chuan has not been practicing in the Fire Temple since he was a child, but he became a disciple of the Fire Temple's Lu family more than nine months ago, and then began to refine chakra and learn ninjutsu.
In less than a year, he has cultivated to a level close to that of a special jounin. This talent is definitely considered top-notch.
What's even more frightening is that in less than two months since the mission to the Land of Waves, the prince's strength has improved a lot again. Being able to hold Orochimaru back is already as strong as a jounin.
"What!"
Tenzo, Hongdou and several guarding Anbu ninjas who were in the office at this time, when they heard what the third generation said, they immediately looked at Li Chuan with incredible eyes.
Originally, they thought that at his age, Li Chuan was truly a genius among geniuses with his current strength.
But they didn't expect that the other party had only been learning ninjutsu for less than a year, and his talent was such that they, the best of their age in the village, were all pinned to the ground and rubbed like crazy.
Sure enough, the genius in this world is not the strongest, only stronger.
"Hahaha, it's not that exaggerated. I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child in the palace, but everyone doesn't know it. Although it is true that it took less than a year to refine chakra and learn ninjutsu, I haven't actually mastered many ninjutsu.
Therefore, I am not good at Ninjutsu. If there is an opportunity, it would be great if the jonins of Konoha could guide me."
Li Chuan hinted with a laugh.
Sandai tapped his fingers on his knees and heard what Li Chuan wanted to express, and then smiled:
"Don't worry, Your Highness, if you ask any jounin in Konoha to learn ninjutsu, I don't think they will refuse, including the old man."
It is definitely impossible to teach Li Chuan some ninjutsu unique to Konoha, but there is no problem with some ninjutsu that is common in other villages. This includes some techniques for learning ninjutsu, experience in using ninjutsu combinations, etc.
A prince who has helped many times and is close to the Leaf Village is worth trying to win over.
Five days later, the martial arts hall on the first floor of the tower.
The third generation was leading all the examiners and jounin, standing at the front podium to explain the significance of the Chuunin Selection Examination to the genin of each village who had passed the Death Forest test.
Li Chuan stood on the side in the corridor on the second floor and scanned the genin.
"It seems that because of my intervention, some deviations occurred among the genin who passed through."
He remembered that there were originally twenty-eight groups participating in the Forest of Death, and only seven groups passed in the end. But now it was obvious that not only seven groups had passed, but nine groups had passed.
In addition to the original seven groups, there are also a group from Hagakure, Yumehuo, Bonbon, and a group from Kusakunin Village.
There were two groups of Genin teams that passed the first test in Kusanagi Village. The first group was killed and replaced by Orochimaru before entering the Forest of Death.
The second group got separated shortly after entering the forest. As a result, one of them, Xiang Phosphorus, who was a human-shaped pill, first accidentally picked up glutinous rice balls and red bean soup and survived, and later picked up the Scroll of Heaven that Orochimaru threw away after leaving.
Finally, after finding two other ninjas from Kusanagi Village, we arrived at the tower when time was almost over.
"This fragrant phosphorus can be received by my subordinates after it is over."
The red hair was very conspicuous, so Li Chuan recognized the identity of the grass-nin girl at a glance.
Xiang Lu is a descendant of the Uzumaki clan. After the Uzumaki clan was destroyed, he and his mother fled to the Country of Grass and were taken in by the Country of Grass.
Because like her mother, she has a special physique that can restore chakra and injuries after being bitten, she became the humanoid medicine jar of Kusanagi Village. Not long ago, her mother died after being overused.
What Li Chuan values is not the healing properties of fragrant phosphorus. He has healing magic of his own, and the effect is not bad.
Kagura's Inner Eye, another gifted ability that he values, can detect the chakra and location of enemies within a radius of dozens of kilometers with his eyes closed. It is also a top-notch perception talent in this world.
There is also the unique talent of the sealing technique of the Uzumaki clan, and the secret sealing ninjutsu King Kong Seal, a super powerful sealing ninjutsu that can seal even tailed beasts.
After learning the Vajra Sealing, you can try to seal the Obscurus next time you go to the Wizarding World.
After the third generation's speech ended, the qualifying examiner Gekko Hayate came on stage and began to announce the rules of the next competition, while Kabuto Yakushi voluntarily retired from the competition early due to physical injuries and left the field.
