Chapter 175 The Second Exam
The second exam is over. Because of Gu Meng's control, Gaara's team was not eliminated in this exam. On the surface, it was to give face to the allies, but in fact, it was because he was worried that Sunagakure would not dare to take action——
In fact, he was almost scared off now. The shadow clone accidentally used too much force and his head was big... Let Tao Baibai come into contact with Sunagakure. This time, Konoha's collapse plan depends only on their strength.
After this exam, the news about Orochimaru was still leaked by Naruto, Sasuke and others. After all, the characteristics of Orochimaru's ninjutsu were too obvious, and Anko also sensed it.
After receiving this news, Jiraiya, who was still a little procrastinated at first, hurried back to the village.
There was such a big commotion in the Death Forest, and other people were not interested in fighting anymore. Not surprisingly, there were a lot of people who passed the assessment.
However, the main responsibility was that a large number of people passed the first exam under Naruto's leadership, so a preliminary round was temporarily added to the third exam.
When Gu Meng first presided over the lottery ceremony, he had little experience, so he directly asked Yagami Taiji to draw Kankuro randomly.
Kankuro's expression instantly collapsed: Me?
Do I deserve to fight a monster like him? Gaara turned into a tailed beast and lost.
Now Taiji Yagami's intimidating power in Kankuro's heart is on the same level as the Kage of each village. He is just a genin. Why would he encounter such a terrible thing?
"I abstain!"
Kankuro raised his hand, his body and language were honest, and their purpose this time was not to pass the exam and become chuunin, but to overthrow Konoha with everyone...
But when the time comes, we will inevitably have to face that monster... Can we really win? Will this plan be a bit hasty...
On the other side of the world, Tao Baibai is flying on the pillar. He will use his level 40 or above super shadow strength to give Sunagakure some confidence to resist.
…
"Kankuro, what are you talking about? Don't bow to that guy!"
Gaara, who had just woken up and was still relatively weak, scolded loudly.
This kid is worthy of being a jinchuriki. If he doesn't kill him in one go, he will recover very quickly. Moreover, the effect of the previous rescue was not very good. It should be because he lacks the necessary mouth escape.
Kankuro hesitated for two seconds, and judged that participating in the competition at this time was a certain death, and there was still a chance of survival by abstaining, so he mustered up the courage and ignored Gaara.
Gu Mengzheng scolded him in a moderate voice: "What's going on? I forgot the secret operation, won't you remind me? How can we directly let the weak neighboring countries draw our strong players? In this way, they Won’t we have no chance to perform? If we draw lots again, won’t others find out that we have a shady secret?”
Upon hearing this, even the five-star jounin...even the jounin of Konoha, Sunagakure and other small villages all cast strange looks...Although everyone understands this kind of thing, there is no need for it. That's so clear.
With this experience, every subsequent duel will be under Gu Meng's control.
For example, his remaining two shadow clones directly started the peak battle. They showed off their skills in a small way and showed that they were at least elite jounin. This made more people realize that Gu Meng's men had already mastered a certain skill. Very powerful.
At the same time, it also frightened Temari, who had thought about defeating a kunoichi from Yagami's team as a hostage when Gaara was at a disadvantage not long ago. Fortunately, she didn't dare to rush forward at that time, otherwise she would have been killed.
In the subsequent duel between Sasuke and Sound Ninja, Gu Meng didn't pay much attention.
Sasuke himself is not easy to play because of the mark Orochimaru left on him.
But Kakashi also knows some sealing techniques, and without Gu Meng taking action, Sasuke is able to fight again. This battle gave Erzhu a little more confidence. He is still very strong among his peers. Without this strength, In terms of psychological quality, facing a genius enemy like Itachi, Erzhu couldn't bear it and collapsed. This kind of stubbornness and recklessness is also a quality of a strong person. In this aspect, Neji was far worse than him in accepting his fate.
After that, there were several more fights between Xiaoqiang. Although the level of performance this time was still very high, after a very outrageous start, these now really feel like children's fights.
Especially the battle between two little girls, Yamanaka Ino and Haruno Sakura, both exhausted and eliminated at the same time, barely allowed the ill-intentioned ninja from outside the village to regain some confidence, and there were still only a few monsters.
The battle between Hyuga Neji and Hyuga Hinata was even more of a joke. Gu Meng directly rescued Neji after the game.
"Why? Is this the protection of the Zong family by the village's senior officials?"
"I treat Hinata equally. It doesn't matter what kind of division the clan is. I despise you alone. The strong will punch the stronger. Since you are dissatisfied with the current situation, go and change it."
"Easy to say-"
"If you don't have this kind of consciousness and are dissatisfied with your fate, you can die for me, or you can unite your compatriots to plan a rebellion against the clan, or you can simply ask outsiders to kill all the clan, or you can take revenge on the top officials of Konoha at the time, or on Kumogakure Village. I can understand it, but what do you look like now? You are really ugly, a humble weakling."
This time with the use of Mouth Release, the effect is obviously better.
Gu Meng nodded secretly and rescued another lost boy, doing one good deed every day.
…
The duel between Rock Lee and Gaara was still the highlight, and Gu Meng did not change this classic duel after all.
To be honest, this was the scene that impressed Gu Meng the most in the early stages of Naruto.
Before this battle, Gaara had already recovered. Although Yagami Taiji's moves looked scary, they were all aimed at saving people. There really was no dirty tricks. Gaara's condition was even better than before. .
In the end, the ending has not changed. After Xiao Li opened the five doors, he still couldn't kill Gaara suddenly with Ola in one breath. In the end, Metkai stopped Gaara before he could kill him.
"It seems that you really don't know the preciousness of life..." Gu Meng glanced at Gaara coldly, and then walked to Xiao Li's side.
With the miraculous doctor Gu Meng here, let alone the five-door queen who is permanently disabled by crickets, there won't be any big problem for Metkai to stay open for a period of time.
…
After the preliminaries, there is still some time before the official exam. During this time, dignitaries from various countries will arrive in Konoha one after another.
Inside the Hokage Building.
After hearing that Orochimaru appeared, the third generation Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen's ominous premonition became stronger and stronger, but it was probably because he was overly worried. Even if his body had aged like this, he was still confident that he could defeat Orochimaru.
Moreover, Konoha's new generation is a bit fierce.
The third generation has used the crystal ball to see the momentum of Yagami violently beating Shukaku. Although Shukaku is still developing due to jinchūriki and other drags, it is obviously not a true complete body and can be blocked by giant psychic beasts like Gamabunta. degree.
But Yagami's ability to achieve almost instant kill is already outrageous. At least he is a Kage-level taijutsu ninja with extremely explosive power.
With his subordinates at this level, Yuuki's strength should also continue to improve.
The village's high-level combat power suddenly became abundant, and even if there was any accident, it would not be a cause for concern.
As for the S-class rebel ninja organization that Jiraiya once mentioned and Yuuki's recent repeated use of red ribbons to create a sense of presence, it is impossible for such an organization to directly invade the village, right?
"Has Jiraiya arrived yet?"
Anbu replied: "Jiraiya-sama originally didn't want to come back, but we told him about Orochimaru's appearance in the Chunin Exam, and he said he would return to the village in the near future."
"Okay, I get it."
…
Soon after, Jiraiya did come back. In fact, compared to Tsunade, who could almost be regarded as leaving Konoha, although Jiraiya was not in the village, he was generally still regarded as a member of the village.
This is why when it comes to choosing the fifth generation Hokage, Jiraiya's priority is obviously higher than Tsunade's, because he is still making up.
There are even tasks. In addition to his own big dream of finding and cultivating the son of prophecy, Konoha can sometimes obtain some information about ninja organizations through him.
Now Jiraiya has another small task attached to him. On the way here, the ANBU reminded him to teach Uzumaki Naruto, which is what the Third Hokage meant.
Maybe it's just a matter of balance.
Jiraiya knew that Naruto was Minato's son, and when he learned about his treatment during his childhood, he was speechless. He only felt that the village was seriously ill, but he was still inclined to accept this disciple.
This is also the son of prophecy that he has been searching for. Before, he felt that Nagato was.
The fateful encounter began. After Jiraiya returned to Konoha, he met Naruto Uzumaki by coincidence/accounting without visiting him, and was attracted by the seduction technique invented by Naruto.
When Jiraiya was assisting Uzumaki Naruto in his training, he discovered that Uzumaki Naruto had the Five Elements Seal conveniently placed by Orochimaru, and helped the little guy remove the Five Elements Seal.
This seal is actually harmless, which is why Gu Meng didn't show up to stop Orochimaru - it's not just a utilitarian reason why Naruto might have hidden missions and be a very high-quality starlight value acquisition target.
But Gu Meng's favorability towards Naruto is relatively high, at least much higher than that of the Third Generation. After he completes the task, the Hokage will be tired of it. Naruto may be the Sixth Generation, and he will sacrifice himself to become a daimyo. No, directly For heaven's sake, give up the Hokage's seat.
…
Jiraiya's teaching progress was a bit average, because Naruto was disturbed by the nine-tailed chakra, and the effects of many techniques were difficult to describe.
But Naruto never gives up, has the characteristics of a passionate and foolish protagonist, and gradually communicates with the Nine-Tails in his body. He still learns the art of channeling, evolving from a small tadpole at the beginning to summoning a giant toad.
As for the Rasengan, the Rasengan that was created by his father, was a perfect match for him, and was later played like a flower, that goes without saying.
…
Inside the Hokage Building.
The top management of Konoha has been meeting frequently recently, and in addition to Orochimaru, many foreign ninjas have recently entered.
Some are protective ninjas of important people, and some are high-level officials of other participating villages. In theory, they are all allies of Konoha, such as the Sunagakure Sound Ninja, Kusanagi Ninja, etc.
Gu Meng took the initiative to explain that these people were too risky. Some Sunagakure ninjas could intuitively feel their malice and ulterior motives when passing by them. Maybe some surrounding civilians should be evacuated in advance to prevent accidents.
Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned, hesitated for a while, and then shook his head: "No need, this is an opportunity to show the strength of Konoha to the outside world and declare peace. To be vigilant in a big way is to deviate from the original intention. Besides, because With the hatred accumulated for generations, it is understandable that ninjas from other countries are dissatisfied with our ninjas, and..."
The Third Hokage looked in the direction of Gu Meng. The more he tested Yushu, the more he felt unfathomable. He had asked him to demonstrate the Wood Release before, but the newly appeared Wood Release had reached the point where the Third Hokage was affected and was completely unable to defeat him. extent.
Maybe Wood Release is really that scary. Although it is rare, once it awakens, it will quickly rise to this incomprehensible state.
To be honest, since Konoha has such a powerful "tool" as Yuki, then as the Hokage, when operating, he can not think too much about many things. Just follow the blueprint of the goal and keep the same in the face of changes, and then the will of fire can be realized.
The advantage is in me, there is nothing to be afraid of.
Even if there are S-level rebel organizations reported by Orochimaru and Jiraiya, Red Ribbon, or even if all allies betray the peace covenant that the Third Generation has managed to maintain with great difficulty and attack Konoha at the same time, the Third Generation has confidence in Yuki and will not cause too many casualties.
"In fact, I have received some gossip that the Red Ribbon seems to be in contact with these allies participating in the Chunin Exam and Orochimaru..."
"Just a rumor? And the allies have signed covenants with us..."
"Covenants are just waste paper when necessary. Ninjas are not a profession that emphasizes trust."
Not only Yuki said this, many other jonins also do not trust these allies, because everyone has personally experienced the Ninja World War, including Yuki who also went to the battlefield at that time. Fortunately, he saved his life. At this time, he also gave the third generation a final reminder, which is considered to be the most righteous:
"Increase vigilance and defense, third generation, these so-called allies are absolutely not trustworthy..."
"There is no need to say more about this matter."
The third generation is already an absolute dove, interrupting Yuki's rare good intentions.
"Don't say anything that is not conducive to unity."
"Yushu, you can't just consider one side when doing things. You have to have the vision of a Hokage and consider things from the perspective of a Hokage. We still have a lot of time. I will slowly teach you these things in the future."
Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed and picked up his pipe: "I have made up my mind. This Chunin Exam cannot be interrupted. It is related to Konoha's influence in the ninja world and the overall situation of peace. On the surface, everything will be normal."
"... I don't agree. At least evacuate the people in advance."
Gu Meng will not give up the plan to make trouble on this occasion, but he doesn't want to change his suggestion. It will be troublesome to evacuate people temporarily at that time.
"Okay, just do it as I say!"
"Okay, let's not say it, Third Generation, I think... you may regret it."
"Yushu, when the formal meeting starts, call me by my full name, Third Generation Hokage. You have to know that I am the Hokage... You are too impatient."
...
Thank God. Big brother for the 500-point reward, change the world within three or five chapters.
