Chapter 313 Fire Escape that shocked the candidates
Mu Yue didn’t know what Sarutobi Hiruzen and Yuanshi talked about in the end, but the result was pretty much what he expected.
The Kirigakure candidates continued the exam normally, and the captured Kirigakure ninjas were released directly, as if nothing happened.
Five days later, Mu Yue looked at the clock and officially announced the end of the second exam. All teams that did not reach the middle tower with the scrolls were eliminated.
“It’s finally over, can we go outside?” Obito complained.
It only took them a few hours to pass the exam, and they have lived in the middle tower until now.
Obito was a little uncomfortable even practicing in the middle tower, so he could only exercise in the large open space inside the middle tower.
“Everyone be quiet. Now the examiner of the third exam, Bei Liuhu, will explain to everyone the relevant matters of the third exam.” Mu Yue said with a smile.
Mu Yue also has a position in the third exam, but the explanation has to be given by the examiner.
A ninja wearing a gray-yellow turtleneck coat with long white hair walked next to Mu Yue.
“I’ll trouble you next, Senior Beiliuhu.” Mu Yue said with a gentle smile.
Beiruhu, Tsunade and Jiraiya are all friends, so Mu Yue and Beiruhu can be considered friends of friends, and they got along fairly well during the Chunin Exams.
Beiliuhu smiled slightly at Muyue and responded: “Well, just leave it to me.”
Watching Mu Yue walk to the side, Bei Liuhu faced the candidates and said with a smile: “First of all, I would like to congratulate you all for successfully passing the second exam.”
“But unfortunately, you can’t leave the Central Tower for the time being. Before starting the third exam, you have to take a pre-selection exam. Only if you pass the pre-selection exam can you take the third exam.”
“Why go to such trouble and have one more pre-selection?” Obito asked in confusion.
“Yes, we finally passed the second exam, and now we are very tired.” Some ninjas thought this was unreasonable.
“Because there will be many high-ranking officials and nobles coming to watch the game in the third exam. They are all existences that can provide a large number of high-quality commissions. The exam time is a big problem, so the number of places in the third exam is limited.” Beiliu Hu explained calmly.
The reason why all the candidates who have passed the test should be kept in the middle tower is to facilitate the pre-selection. This is not necessary if we are just talking about the rules of the third game.
The number of people scheduled for Beilihu is about 18, and because there are 44 reference teams for this exam, even if most of them are eliminated, 11 teams have completed the exam, and each team has three members. , the total number of people seriously exceeded Bei Liuhu’s psychological expectations, so additional tests must be conducted.
“The pre-selection battle is no longer a group battle, but a one-on-one battle. It lasts one round. Candidates who are unwell or are not confident in their strength can abstain in advance.” Beilihu continued to talk about the rules of the pre-selection. .
In order to make the third exam exciting enough, the pre-selection rules are the same as the third exam, which tests the single-player combat ability.
“Single combat…” Nohara Lin showed a worried expression after hearing this. She was not very confident in her solo combat ability.
“Xiao Lin, you will definitely be fine. You just have to hold back a little when meeting people from the same village, so as not to kill them with one punch.” Obito encouraged with a smile.
“My strength is not that strong.” Nohara Lin’s face bulged slightly, looking a little unhappy.
“What Obito said this time is indeed correct. Xiaolin, your strength has surpassed that of many candidates. As long as you don’t encounter those particularly strong Kirigakure, you will have no problem entering the third exam.” Kaka Xi nodded and said.
Although Nohara Rin’s presence among them is very low, Kakashi, who has been a ninja since he was five years old, has a lot of experience. Nohara Rin’s level is already very strong among genin, but she lacks long-distance attack methods. But all genin are like that.
“Well, no matter who my opponent is, I will work hard. Let’s enter the third exam together.” Nohara Lin nodded and said, Kakashi’s words made her feel more at ease.
After all, Kakashi is indeed much more reliable in this regard.
“It’s actually a one-on-one fight. It feels like it’s going to be over.” Shiranui Genma looked at the genin around him and felt like a husky among the wolves.
He knew the genin who were about the same age as him on the field. They were all monsters. All members of Obito’s team were monsters. Those Kirigakure were also very powerful. Apart from these people, even the smallest Asuma team was stronger than them. They were a year older, and more genin were several years older than them.
“There is nothing I can do if I lose. After all, I am not strong enough.” Ebisu looked very calm.
At this point, he almost knew what level he was at. He was able to take the exam because of Metkai. Becoming a chuunin meant earning money, not just accumulating experience.
“Indeed, after all, it is all thanks to Kai that we are here.” Shiranui Genma put his hand on Metkai’s back and said with a smile.
“Everyone has done their best. Next, we just need to fight with all our strength without leaving any regrets.” Metkai said giving a thumbs up to the two of them.
Shiranui Genma and Ebisu both nodded.
“If you meet Kakashi and Obito, you must surprise them.” Asuma was quite confident in himself.
He and Mu Yue learned a lot about the changes in the properties of wind chakra. Now his best ninjutsu is no longer fire escape but wind escape.
“Well, I think Kakashi should forget it.” Namashiri tried to persuade Asuma not to think too much. He had passed the chuunin exam a few years ago.
“I abstain.” Kirigakure, who was wrapped in bandages next to Terumi Mei, raised his hand and abstained.
He was Kirigakure who was seriously injured by Metkai. Although he survived by chance, five days was not enough for him to recover from his injuries, so he gave up immediately.
Terumi Mei looked indifferent. Once she got here, she would not care about what her teammates decided, because it was time for her personal performance next.
“The taijutsu boy in green tights, the white-haired masked ninja who likes to act cool, and Kisame Kisaki.” Terumi Mei silently thought about her rivals for the title, and prepared to watch their battle later.
Since Obito is best at Fire Release and was defeated by her once, Terumi Mei did not add Obito to it.
Bilihu nodded in agreement and then asked: “Is there anyone else who wants to abstain? If no one abstains, the pre-selection will begin.”
No one responded to Bei Liuhu’s words. We have come to this point. As long as it is not really impossible, no one will want to give up.
“Very good then. Next, you can pay attention to the information on the big screen. After the draw is completed, your pre-selected opponents and order will be displayed on it.” Seeing that no one was abstaining, Bei Liuhu pointed at the huge screen behind him and said. .
About five minutes later, the originally dark screen lit up, and groups of battle lists appeared on it.
Mu Yue glanced at it for a moment and stopped paying attention, because Kakashi Obito and the others were bound to pass.
It’s not that they can win everyone for sure, but the pre-selection draw is not completely random. The person who arranged the draw will not let those strong candidates meet in the pre-selection, so as to ensure that the third exam is exciting enough.
“The first match, Uchiha Obito vs. Kono Hideyoshi, please prepare for the battle.” Hiroyuki shouted a minute after the list appeared.
“I am the first one, let me be the first to succeed.” Obito said with confidence.
They had previously obtained a lot of information cards from a team of Konoha ninjas, including Kono Hideyoshi’s information cards.
Kono Hideyoshi graduated at the age of ten. When he was twelve years old last year, he took part in a Chunin exam and entered the third round but failed to become a Chunin.
From Obito’s point of view, the strength of a chuunin who has not yet become a chuunin at the age of thirteen must not be much stronger. Kakashi has been defeated by him since he became a chuunin at the age of six.
“Come on!” Nohara Lin smiled and encouraged Obito.
“Be careful, don’t lose to someone who is not as strong as you.” Kakashi reminded lightly.
With the blessings of his two teammates, Obito walked to the middle of the large open space. Kono Hideyoshi exchanged words with his teammates and walked over. The other candidates were guided by the examiner to the second floor to watch the battle, so as not to disturb the battle. .
“You look very young, but since you can pass through the forest of death, you can’t underestimate him.” Kono Hideyoshi thought to himself as he looked at Obito, who was obviously much younger than him.
“The battle begins!” Bei Liuhu shouted immediately after seeing the two people getting ready, and then retreated to the edge.
“Breath of Fire, breathe with full concentration!” Obito immediately entered a state of full concentration, and his physical ability and fire escape ability increased rapidly.
“Fire Release・Fire Dragon Flame Bullet!”
Entering full concentration and breathing, Obito immediately formed a seal in his throat to condense chakra and spit out a large fire.
The flames, like a large number of fire dragons, spread rapidly towards Kono Hideyoshi, instantly turning the ground more than ten meters nearby into a world of flames and surrounding Kono Hideyoshi.
Looking at the ferocious flames that seemed to engulf him in the next moment, Kono Hideyoshi was dumbfounded. This was a genin. He had been a genin for several years and had never seen a genin using such a powerful advanced fire escape.
Even Beiruhu, who was not far away, showed a surprised expression when he saw Obito’s fire escape. This fire escape was very rare to see among chunin, let alone genin.
“Are they as talented as Orochimaru and Jiraiya?” Beiliuhu couldn’t help but feel a little envious in his heart.
After finding that he had no way to deal with it, Kono Hideyoshi directly dropped the kunai in his hand and performed a French military salute and said: “I surrender.”
There was no way he could win at all, so Hideyoshi Kono felt that he had better lose earlier and suffer less.
“Uchiha Obito wins!” Beiruhu announced Obito’s victory simply. The two sides were not at the same level at all.
“Uchiha Obito, I remember he is not a famous crane tail, how come he has become so powerful.” The Konoha ninja who graduated before Obito’s rise was very puzzled by this.
“Crane tail? That guy is a real monster.” Nara Mizuno, who witnessed Obito’s manpower fighting Kirigakure Jonin, sighed.
Obito’s Fire Dragon Flame Bomb sparked a huge discussion during the exam.
Although Obito lost his title of Crane Tail in the actual combat exam when he was in fourth grade, in this chunin exam, only Matkai and the others were in the same class as Obito, and the other Konoha ninjas were basically the same. Xanadu is several years older than Obito.
Those who have graduated long ago do not pay attention to the information of the ninja school. In their perception, Obito is still the last Uchiha.
“No matter how strong your Fire Release is, you are no match for me.” Terumi Mei was very calm.
“How did Obito become so strong in fire escape? How did he practice it?” Asuma showed a puzzled expression.
He vaguely remembered that during the training, Obito Fire Escape was not much better than him. More than half a year had passed, and it was like a different person.
Asuma instantly lost the confidence to defeat Obito, this fire style looked too brutal.
“Maybe they work harder when we work hard.” Bingzu Leitong couldn’t help but say.
He was unwilling to lose to Obito before and they were not the same as him. He originally wanted to win back in the Chunin Exam, but after watching Obito’s Fire Release, he no longer wanted to meet Obito.
Obito walked back to the second floor with a bright smile, and said with a smile: “How about it, I am fast enough, I can solve the battle in less than a minute.”
“Yes, very impressive.” Nohara Lin affirmed with a smile.
“I can only say that it’s okay. It’s not a wise move to start with such a ninjutsu that wastes chakra.” Kakashi began to criticize.
“Kakashi, you are jealous, but I am very generous. If you did not enter the third round of exams, I would definitely comfort you.” With Nohara Rin’s praise and blessing, Obito ignored Kakashi’s slander.
Of course, if Kakashi really loses, Obito can laugh at him for a year. It would be too funny if the chuunin didn’t even make it to the third round of the chuunin exams.
“The second round, Shiranui Genma versus Terumi Mei.” Beilihu quickly read out the names of the candidates for the second round.
“What a bad luck.” Shiranui Genma sighed.
The good news is that he knows the enemy’s intelligence. The bad news is that the enemy is too strong. Even if he knows the information, he can only be beaten.
“It’s okay. Anyway, the person before you surrendered instantly, so it won’t be too embarrassing for you to surrender.” Ebisu raised his sunglasses and said.
“Go, I’m going to fight her no matter what.” Shiranui Genma hammered Ebisu on the chest.
Although Genma Shiranui knew that he would definitely not be able to beat Terumi Mei, he didn’t want to be like Kono Hideyoshi and it would end before he could even fight.
Shiranui Genma got through a few moves with Terumi Mei as he wished, but it was only a few moves. Shiranui Genma just spat out a Senbon, got close and punched and kicked Terumi Mei, and was locked in a water prison by Terumi Mei and couldn’t get out. I can only admit defeat.
Although I was mentally prepared, it was still a little uncomfortable to be defeated so easily by Shiranui Genma. When he was in the ninja school, he was still the most powerful presence in the class. The gap was really too big.
Shiranui Genma is already preparing to take the initiative to ask Teacher Chen for additional training after returning. As long as he can’t die, he will practice to death. He doesn’t want to experience this embarrassing scene a second time.
The winners of two consecutive battles were Kisame and Zabuza, both of which defeated their opponents with absolute advantage.
“The fifth game, Kakashi Hatake vs. Koji Mizumoto.”
“Come on.” Nohara Lin waved her fist to cheer Kakashi up.
“Don’t lose.” Obito encouraged Kakashi-style.
Kakashi nodded calmly and jumped down from the second floor.
Since Mizumoto Koji is a Kirigakure ninja, Kakashi had not touched him during the second exam and did not know his information, so Kakashi chose to attack tentatively in the first wave of confrontation.
After discovering that Mizumoto Koji’s strength was far inferior to him, Kakashi directly unleashed the breath of thunder and used a very fast knife to place White Fang on Mizumoto Koji’s neck, ending the battle.
“The sixth game, Nohara Lin versus Nakane Toda.”
“Believe in yourself, there will be no problem.” Kakashi said after returning to the second floor after the battle.
Nakane Toda is the Konoha ninja they have information about, and he is in the same class and team as Kono Hideyoshi, who was instantly eliminated by Obito.
“Xiaolin, you can definitely win.” Obito gave his blessing.
Nohara Lin smiled and nodded, walking down the stairs into the battlefield.
Nakane Toda looked at Nohara Rin cautiously. Although Nohara Rin looked soft and weak, Nohara Rin’s two teammates both crushed her and won, which made him dare not underestimate Nohara Rin.
“Looking so thin, he must not be very strong in physical skills.” Nakane Toda carefully observed Nohara Rin’s body and analyzed Nohara Rin’s intelligence.
He thinks Nohara Rin should be as good at ninjutsu as Obito.
So Nakane Toda immediately formulated a battle plan. At the beginning, he used ninja tools to harass and then started close combat. Physical skills happened to be his strength.
“The battle begins!”
Boohoo! !
As soon as Beiruhu finished speaking, Netoda immediately took out his shuriken and threw it at Nohara Rin.
“Basic breathing, all concentrated!”
Nohara Lin immediately entered a basic breathing state to improve her physical abilities.
Then something unexpected happened to Nohara Rin. She was still thinking about how to approach Nakane Toda, but Nakane Toda rushed towards her directly.
Since Nakane Toda took the initiative to send Nohara Rin to her door, she was not polite and directly concentrated a large amount of chakra on her arm to use the strange power punch.
Bang!
With a loud noise, Nakane Toda, who was sparring with Nohara Rin, flew backwards like a cannonball and hit the ground hard, causing spiderweb-like cracks.
At this time, there was silence in the middle tower, and the candidates were all stunned to look at Nohara Rin who was still pumping her fists in the venue.
They thought this was too weird. A nine-year-old girl who looked weak and weak punched away Nakane Toda, who looked tall and thick with strong muscles.
“Hiss.” Asuma took a breath, with an expression of disbelief on his face, “When did Xiaolin become so violent? Oh no, why is her physical skills so good?”
In Asuma’s impression, Nohara Rin was an ordinary student who was good at theory and quite satisfactory in all aspects, but Nohara Rin’s punch just now was too exaggerated.
“I’ll go talk to her after the exam is over.” Yuhi Hong also looked shocked. She had never seen this scene before.
Bingzu Leitong was already numb, and he felt that Nohara Rin was not easy to deal with. If this punch hit him, Nohara Rin would have to kneel down on the spot and beg him not to die.
“Nohara Rin wins.” Beiruhu, who discovered that Nakane Toda had lost the ability to fight again, announced Nohara Rin’s victory.
After passing the pre-selection, Nohara Lin had a smile on her face. It was much easier than she thought. She thought she would have to go through a hard battle to win.
After all, she is far behind compared to the excellent Obito and Kakashi.
“I just said Xiaolin, you can definitely do it.” Obito immediately congratulated Xiaolin when she reached the second floor.
“Thank you for your trust. Now our whole team has passed.” Nohara Lin put her hands together and smiled brightly.
Kakashi nodded without saying anything. He knew Nohara Rin’s strength among genin better than Nohara Rin. Nohara Rin was so unsure because the people she was with every day were too strong, which caused her to have an illusion.
As the preliminary examination progressed, successful candidates continued to appear one after another, many of whom were acquaintances of Obito and Kakashi.
Asuma, Nara Mizuno, and Inuzuka Midori, some of them are friends that Kakashi and the others met in school, and some of them fought together in the Death Forest.
Kakashi also discovered that in addition to all members of their team succeeding, all members of the Kirigakure team created by Iniki Kaki Kisame also successfully entered the third test, and all members of Terumi Mei’s team entered the third test except for the ninja who abstained. take an exam.
Other than that, there is nothing else. The Nara Saltwater Team Aburona also lost. Asuma’s team lost except for Asuma’s success and Yuhirui and Kurenai. Among them, the most unlucky one was the same because he was the most unlucky. Met Kai.
Only one of the Metkai team succeeded, and Ebisu lost to Yamashiro Aoba.
“The preliminaries are over, and there are a total of sixteen people who have advanced to the third exam, namely Uchiha Obito, Terumi Mei…” After all the battles were over, Beiruhu announced the final results.
After announcing the promotion list, Bei Liuhu immediately announced the arrangements for the third exam.
“The rules of the third exam are basically the same as the pre-selection you just conducted. One-on-one battles will be conducted according to the results of the draw. The winner will be promoted and the loser will be eliminated until the final winner is determined.
In the third exam battle, you need to use all your abilities without reservation. The exam will be scored by a special ninja. If you perform well enough, you may not be able to become a chunin if you lose. , on the other hand, if you don’t perform well, you may not be able to advance to Chunin even if you win in the end. ”
The rules of the third exam are the same as the ninja school practical exam. Each round of battle will be scored by someone specifically to see the comprehensive quality of the ninja.
“Next, the person whose name I called came up to draw lots. The order of the third test battle will be determined according to this draw.” Bei Liuhu then took out a box and said.
The order of drawing lots is based on the results of the battle just now, and Obito was the first to be called up to draw lots.
Obito had no ink stains, so he put his hand in and took it out immediately and gave it a look to Beiruhu.
“Uchiha Obito No. 9.” Beiliu said.
Then everyone had to recite Beilihu after they finished smoking. After everyone finished smoking, the big screen that had been plunged into darkness lit up again. This time it showed the battle arrangement for the third exam, No. 1 vs. Number two, number three and number four are arranged in order.
Obito did not look anxiously at his opponent, but looked at the name of No. 4, because Nohara Rin was No. 3.
“It’s that Nara salt water, I don’t think it’s easy to deal with.” Obito was a little worried for Nohara Rin.
He has seen the behavior of Nara Salt Water in the Forest of Death. He is a guy as sinister and cunning as Kakashi.
“Well, I feel like he is the kind of person who is very calm and alert.” Nohara Lin nodded. She almost helped Obito kill the Jonin even when he was unable to carry out basic actions, which impressed her deeply.
“But I will fight with all my strength. After all, the examiner also said that I might become a chuunin even if I lose.”
A lot of battles have been written about the Forest of Death, so I will condense it here and write the 6k chapter in one go
