Chapter 290 The Official Selection Begins!
A month passed quietly, and as the daimyos of various countries arrived one after another, the discussion about the official selection of the Chunin Exam became more and more heated.
"Who should I buy?"
Standing in front of the lottery plate, looking at the names on it, Liu Yu fell into deep thought, not knowing who to bet on.
In response to the battle list that had been given long ago, some lottery institutions also opened the match. Among them, the odds of the first match between Uzumaki Naruto and Mingze Sata were the highest. Naruto's odds were reduced to 1 to 4, and there was a trend of continuous increase, which was not much different from Naruto vs. Neji in the original work. Everyone was unanimously pessimistic about Naruto, thinking that this kid just happened to win and was able to enter the official selection.
Although most people didn't know who Mingze Sata of the Hidden Village of the Moon was before the Chunin Exam, based on the results of the second Chunin Exam and the list of qualified players in the preliminaries, most people knew who to bet on.
The team that Cang Yexuan belongs to is the team that won the most scrolls in the second Chunin Exam, which means that Cang Yexuan is one of the strongest Genin in this Chunin Exam. And there are rumors that it was Cang Yexuan who defeated Konoha's last chief Hyuga Neji.
And this Mingze Sata defeated Cang Yexuan in the preliminaries, which means that he is stronger than Cang Yexuan, and many people even think that he may win the final victory in the Chunin promotion match.
In this case, it is right to bet on him. However, if these people knew that Mingze Sata defeated Cang Yexuan by rock-paper-scissors, they would probably be shocked.
Liu Yu, who has a general understanding of the strength of the two opponents, naturally will not rely on the performance of the second Chunin Exam and the list of preliminaries as a reference.
If it is just based on strength analysis, Liu Yu intends to bet on Mingze Sata, after all, his apparent data is much stronger than Naruto.
But given Naruto's "protagonist" status, his first characteristic of unexpectedness, and the Nine-Tails Chakra in his body, Naruto is not without the possibility of winning.
If Naruto really wins the game unexpectedly, with the current odds, those who bet on Naruto will definitely make a lot of money.
In short, Liu Yu now wants to bet on Naruto and Aizawa Sata, and seems to be very entangled in this wavering plan.
"Okay! Don't be entangled. If you really don't know who to bet on, just buy one by the way, or just don't buy it."
Looking at Liu Yu's entanglement, Dong Yuelin couldn't help but give her own advice. The game is about to start, and Liu Yu, the leader of the team, is still struggling about who to bet on.
The first game came as scheduled. This time, the game was very different from the previous ones. The previous games were only watched by the Genin who passed the second test and their respective guiding Jonin.
And this time, the surrounding audience stands were full of villagers from Konoha Village and dignitaries from all over the world. After all, this Chunin exam is a rare event in the Land of Fire in recent years.
As the leaders of Konoha Village and Sand Village, the Hokage and the Kazekage sat on the highest platform, which was also the best place to see.
When the contestants entered the venue, the audience on the spectator stand burst into cheers. This scene reminded Liu Yu of the scene of participating in gambling fights in underground casinos.
As representatives of Moon Village, Liu Yu and others were specially arranged a piece of land for them by the Konoha side to distinguish them from ordinary spectators. And opposite them was Maki of Sand Village.
"It's still Hayate?"
However, when Liu Yu saw that the referee was still Moonlight Hayate, he was surprised that Moonlight Hayate was not dead and was still alive.
But then, Liu Yu was relieved. Yakushi Kabuto could become Konoha's Anbu Jonin, so it was not so strange that Hayate did not die at the hands of Maki. But then, Liu Yu found another problem, that is, who represented the Sound Village to meet with Maki in secret.
If no one had a secret meeting with Machi, would Sunagakure not have planned to participate in Orochimaru's plan to collapse Konoha, and even the person on the stands was really the Fourth Kazekage Rasa, not Orochimaru disguised as the Kazekage.
"What? Is there a problem?"
Looking at Liu Yu's changing expression, Dong Yuelin, who was accompanying her, asked with concern, is there any accident?
"No, don't worry."
Liu Yu replied softly, and then shook her head vigorously, throwing all these thoughts out of her head. At this point, she didn't believe that Orochimaru could still give up the action.
At this time, the Third Hokage had already finished his opening remarks to the audience, including the participating Genin, and announced that the third official selection had officially begun.
In the field, Gekkou Gale began to announce the rules of the game to the Genin off the field.
And this so-called rule is very simple, that is, there is no rule. No matter what method the participating Genin uses, it is reasonable, as long as they can knock down the opponent, there is no meanness or openness.
As for the victory or defeat? The game is over only when one side admits defeat, falls to the ground and loses consciousness or dies.
However, based on humanitarian considerations, Moonlight Hayate still announced that he would stop the game when he thought the winner had been decided to avoid unnecessary casualties.
After explaining the rules, Moonlight Hayate asked the others to return to the lounge, leaving behind Akeze Yata and Naruto for the first game.
"Boy, I advise you to surrender as soon as possible!"
Before the game started, Mingze Zuotai said to Naruto in a rare way. If Naruto still had the strength to defeat Inuzuka Kiba with his fart, then Naruto would have no chance of winning this battle, after all, he was not someone who could be defeated by "fart".
"Who? Are you talking about me?"
However, Naruto, the fool, did not react to Mingze Zuotai's "good intentions" at all, and even stupidly pointed at himself and asked if it was him.
""
(┬_┬) Seeing Naruto's reaction, Mingze Zuotai's forehead slightly raised a "well" character, wondering why Mr. Liu Yu valued this guy so much.
"No!"
However, after Naruto reacted, Naruto shook his head gently and rejected Mingze Zuotai's "good intentions".
"I will definitely win this game."
After that, Naruto stretched out his right hand to Mingze Zuotai, clenched his five fingers into a fist, and said to Mingze Yata with great determination.
"A very confident look, not like he's showing off at all."
Looking at Naruto's posture, Mingze Zuota finally got serious. Liu Yu's words "That guy is used to creating miracles" flashed through his mind involuntarily. And Uchiha Xuan's warning before he participated in the competition "If you underestimate that guy, you will pay a very heavy price."
Looking at Naruto's eyes, Mingze Zuota could feel the blazing fire of war in Naruto's eyes. This guy is a little different from when he defeated Inuzuka Kiba before. Is it the result of this month's special training?
Now, he has a little understanding of why Liu Yu and Uchiha Xuan value this guy so much.
"Interesting! This way, this trip to Konoha will not be in vain."
Mingze Zuota smiled lightly, and then took the starting posture. He decided that he would use all his strength to defeat him.
