Escape From Konoha

Vol 2 Chapter 72: Qualifiers begin

The train stopped at the platform.

After the door of the carriage opened, the candidates for the third exam came out of the carriage one after another.

The day-long journey is finally over. . . Although there are comfortable lounges on the train, and even many delicacies are fully equipped, but always staying in a small environment still makes many people feel unaccustomed.

The reason is that as ninjas, they have long been accustomed to sleeping in the wind, and suddenly they are arranged in a comfortable environment, and their instincts will feel uncomfortable.

After walking out of the carriage, Yiji began to count the number of people, and found that there was not a small number of people, and said: "Follow me next, remember not to fall behind. If you accidentally lose it, it will be very troublesome to find."

Saying that, she led the way ahead, starting from the safe passage.

Because it has been greeted here in advance, no one else uses this exit except for their group.

All the way to the outside without obstruction, the loud sound came into my ears, and the scene of the crowd in front of me,

Those who came to the country of ghosts for the first time were startled.

"A lot of people!"

Although the scale of the ninja village is very large, there are also entertainment areas such as commercial streets, but no matter how large the ninja village is, when compared with the capital of a country, it will inevitably fall into a disadvantage.

As for the Ninja Village in a small country, there is no need to mention it. Maybe there is no commercial street, just a small military base, which can be declared as a Ninja Village.

What's more, they are now coming to Ziyuan City, the most complete and advanced industrialization of the ninja world, known as the commercial capital.

As the center of the culture, politics, commerce, military and other fields of the country of ghosts, the scale of Ziyuan City has undergone many adjustments and expansions in the past ten years.

In order to facilitate the expansion at all times, the outermost protective wall has also been removed.

Although it is called the capital of commerce, commerce is only one of the developed fields.

Even so, with this gimmick, there are countless businessmen who come here every year, and the lack of entry has brought about the development of various industries, so that there is an endless stream of travelers from abroad.

Therefore, the candidates from all over the world who just came out of the entrance, except the local candidates in the country of ghosts, are accustomed to the environment here, and they are all surprised.

In particular, Tos and others who were born in Yinyin Village, Ninja Village, a small country, felt the gap between a small country and a big country.

In contrast, Yinyin Village, which doesn't even have a so-called commercial street, is just a small village built in haste.

There are no ordinary residents, nor any entertainment facilities, except for the training ground, which is the experimental base, or the cell where the experimental subjects are held... The overall atmosphere is very depressing.

Thinking of this, the three of Toss were a little autistic.

However, the three of them quickly cheered up, and the country is developed... It cannot fully represent the strength of the ninja.

They are the elites selected from the hundreds of Ninja Murakami. In terms of strength, the ninjas who are not inferior to big countries will definitely be able to defeat all the enemies in this game, and let the adult bet more on them. look.

This is their only way of repaying them as adopted orphans.

"It's amazing here, are we going to stay here next?"

Seeing such a bustling city, Naruto couldn't wait to scream.

Although other people also expressed their intentions, they would restrain themselves, not at all like Naruto who is releasing their own nature anytime, anywhere, as if they don't know what the word polite is.

"Be quiet for me. I know this place is very attractive, but don't forget the purpose of your coming here. The village arranged for you to come here, not for you to travel, Naruto."

Kakashi held Naruto down and reluctantly taught him a lesson.

"It doesn't matter. After all, they have been nervous for so many days. It's not a bad thing to relax them."

Asma, who was accompanying him, lit a cigarette, put it in his mouth, and said with a smile.

"You really have a big heart, Asma."

"Even a ninja needs to relax occasionally, and can't always push."

"That is to say, Kakashi-sensei, you have no idea how hard we worked before."

For Naruto's accusation, Kakashi shrugged and didn't take it seriously.

Soon, a large passenger bus stopped in front of the square.

This is undoubtedly a relatively novel thing for those who do not know the market conditions of the country of ghosts.

Under the arrangement of Ichiji, everyone boarded the bus in an orderly manner and headed towards the center of Ziyuan City.

The high-rise buildings along the way made Naruto and the others dazzled. There were movie trailers on the huge billboards.

Attract the attention of passersby.

Although there is a movie theater in Konoha Village, compared to the one here, it has been beaten down from the appearance.

After about half an hour, the bus finally arrived at its destination.

It is a good-quality hot spring hotel.

As the organizer, it is natural to be responsible for the food and accommodation of the candidates. In addition to the problem of accommodation, if the candidates have other needs, they can only solve it out of their own pockets. If you don't want to eat free food in a hotel, or you don't want to live in a free hotel, you can also solve it at your own expense.

After allocating the rooms, Yiji did not let the candidates move freely, but gathered them in a hall on the second floor, and said in a calm tone: "Before the free movement, there is one thing I want you to know. That is Regarding the third Open, there will be some changes."

"Change? We haven't heard of it."

Temari said with a frown.

Kazuhime replied with the same tone: "That's because the above thinks that the number of 30 candidates participating in the open competition is too many. Therefore, in order to reduce the unnecessary load, the above decided that before the official open competition,

A one-on-one elimination qualifier was held first, and 15 people were finally determined to participate in the third official open match. "

"what?"

The candidates were surprised, even Asuka and others were surprised, and they also only knew about it.

"Why do you think there are too many people? If so, is it the safest way to extend the time?"

Even Shikamaru felt a little dissatisfied.

I finally passed the first and second exams, and now I have to go through the so-called pre-selection before the third exam, which made many genin candidates, including him, feeling depressed.

"You have also heard that during the official game, there will be big figures from all over the world to visit...

Those people's time is at a premium, so there's a time limit for the official Open. If thirty people participate together, it is likely to be redundant. "

Ichiki said without changing his tone.

Even Jōnin, who followed, frowned slightly.

"why is it like this?"

The students were mourning.

Naruto said nonchalantly: "That is to say, as long as you win one more game, you can take the third test, right?"

For Naruto's words, everyone can't deny it.

It's just that not everyone has the courage and confidence he has.

"Kakashi, your students are very good."

Metkay patted Kakashi on the shoulder, acknowledging Naruto's confidence.

No matter what, the ninja just needs to rise to the challenge.

Instead of complaining here and haggling with Ichihi, the Junin, it is better to pack up your mentality as soon as possible and prepare for the next qualifiers.

"Well, this kid's brain is indeed a bit abnormal, and he doesn't like to take ordinary paths. After all, his comments during his ninja school days were accidental No. 1 ninjas."

Kakashi replied indifferently.

In terms of mentality, Naruto is indeed the kind of ninja with a strong ability to withstand pressure.

No matter when, Kakashi never saw Naruto discouraged.

Should I say it is really brave and fearless, or is it nerve-wracking.

Although there are certain flaws in character, this strong mentality that is fearless to all challenges is worth learning and imitating for many ninjas.

As for the ability to handle things... that's fine.

Kazuhime looked at Naruto's confident smile that day and said with a smile: "Yes, as long as you win one more game, you can take the third exam. After all, the people above also feel that among you , there are still some fish that slip through the net, so we need to kick out some weak candidates and ban them from taking the third exam."

The undisguised contempt made most candidates glared at Kazuhime.

It's just that no one dared to take the lead in taking the shot at the strength of the opponent's jonin.

"That's the way it is. Do you have any questions now? If you still have questions, I will answer them one by one."

Kazuki glanced at the candidates.

You made it so clear, who has any objection? Many students complained in their hearts.

Knowing that it is impossible to bargain with the organizers on this matter.

If the host of Ghost Country dared to do this, they must have negotiated with the village behind them in advance.

Their opinions don't matter at all.

"Since you have no other opinions, then let me announce the time of the qualifiers. The time for the qualifiers is set at nine o'clock tomorrow morning, when you all gather in the lobby of this hotel, I will be at eight o'clock Arriving here, I will take you to the venue. The venue is the venue for the official competition, and the rules are the rules used in the official competition. It can be said that this qualifier will allow you to adapt to the battle rhythm of the open competition in advance.”

After listening to Kazuhime's narration, the candidates had no choice but to nod their heads in agreement.

They originally wanted to relax for a few days and prepare for the third exam, but now all arrangements and rhythms have been disrupted.

Failure to pass the preliminaries would be tantamount to disqualification for the third test.

"In other words, the qualifiers still can't kill the opponent, right?"

Gaara, who had been silent the whole time, asked in cold words.

Yiji nodded and said with a smile, "This is forbidden. However, apart from killing your opponent, you can torture your opponent however you want, as long as you don't die."

For some unknown reason, everyone felt a very terrifying evil spirit from Gaara, and bloodthirsty colors flowed from their eyes.

The hidden meaning is that as long as you don't kill your opponent, even if you make your opponent crippled and tortured to the last breath, it's okay.

Kazuhime's words seemed to encourage all candidates to do the same.

Although most genin candidates don't like killing very much, there are also genin candidates like Gaara who like to brutally kill enemies.

Moreover, the candidates who like to torture and kill the enemy account for a considerable proportion of them.

"Then, I wish you a good night's sleep. The front desk here will arrange the trivial matters for you. Through the qualifiers, you can swim here for a few days at will."

After speaking, Kazuhime turned around and left the hall, leaving the time to the candidates.

Whether it is to recuperate or go out to visit Ziyuan City, it has nothing to do with her.

"Let's go too."

Seeing Kazuhime leave, Asuka and the others also came out of the queue and walked outside the hotel.

Unlike candidates from other countries, their home is here, so there is no need to live with candidates from other countries.

The day passed quickly.

At eight o'clock in the morning the next day, Kazuhime arrived as scheduled, followed by Asuka and other six Ninja students from the Kingdom of Ghosts.

In the lobby on the second floor of the hot spring hotel, the rest of the candidates also gathered here in advance to form groups, each with a clear distinction between them.

All the candidates appeared to be in good spirits. It is conceivable that they fell asleep very early last night, and no one wasted time to recharge their batteries.

This is related to whether they can successfully pass the qualifiers, and no one dares to be careless.

"lets go.

Seeing that everyone was getting ready to go, Yiji led them to the door of the hotel, and a large bus had already stopped outside.

In the sound of the whistle, the large bus moved fast and set off towards its destination.

Although the scenery of the country of ghosts makes them linger, but they all know that this is not the time to relax.

With the future of the individual and the village on their backs, the only thing that can make them 100% devote at this moment is the qualifiers that will start next.

The bus stopped in the square in front of a huge guild hall. There are few people here. Except for the staff, there are no other idle people nearby.

Entering from the main entrance of the guild hall, through the spacious corridor, it took about a hundred steps to come out from the entrance.

What appeared in front of the candidates was a huge open-air arena. Judging from the exterior decoration, it should not have been newly built. Some of them have been repaired later, and there are obvious repair marks.

But even so, if you don't look closely, this place seems to be the same as the new one.

Spectator seats and venues for competitions are distributed in an orderly manner.

On the arena of the competition, there were already more than a dozen strange figures standing there, waiting for their arrival.

He walked up the stairs on the side of the arena, and brought the candidates and the guide to the group. Kazuhime and the guide and the guide walked behind the group of people consciously. of students feel nervous.

The leader was a young man in his twenties wearing a white coat. He didn't look like the person in charge here, but like a medical staff in a hospital or a staff member in a research institution. .

He looked at the thirty candidates in front of him, familiar or unfamiliar faces, one by one imprinted in his mind, after observing for a while, he said in a slow tone: "Hello, from all over the world. Excellent candidates. My name is Chiba Shiraishi, and I am the Minister of Military Affairs of the Kingdom of Oni. On behalf of the entire military, I extend a warm welcome to you. I am sorry for holding a sudden qualifier for you. Personally, the content of the first two exams is too simple, which may make some candidates have a fluke mentality, and the third exam has a strict time limit, which is the main reason for holding this qualifier."

Simply put, there is a time limit for the third test, and we want to weed out those lucky enough to pass the second test.

Although this kind of remark was explained from Ichiji yesterday, most of the candidates still have complaints in their hearts.

After passing the second exam, they all went to the land of ghosts to take the third exam with a relaxed and happy mind.

But who knew that there would be such an event, there would be a one-on-one qualifier, 30 people would be cut in half, and 15 people would be left to participate in the official open competition.

If not, there is no need for them to fight each other at this time, and they can all take the third exam.

"Just underestimate our strength and say it directly, there's no need to beat around the bush here, we'll let you know Sha Yin's strength."

Kankuro snorted coldly at Shiraishi's hypocritical remarks, showing a very arrogant attitude.

Although this sentence of his is a bit ugly, it is actually the inner speech of most candidates.

No matter what, it's always uncomfortable to be looked down upon.

Shiraishi glanced at Kankuro and recognized that this was the eldest son of the fourth-generation Kazekage Luosha. He did not criticize the young man who was eager to speak, but said in a flat tone: "If so, I am looking forward to the future of you Sandy Ninja. However, it is still the same, except that you can't kill your opponent, you can use any means. When someone's life is in danger, the examiner will stop it. After all, this is also to maintain the friendship between ninjas from various countries. "

"Then if there is a situation where the examiner is too late to stop it, how will it be counted? Friendship" will be destroyed in an instant. "

Although this sentence is a bit difficult, the situation that Kankuro said may also happen.

Shiraishi was still not angry, it was impossible for him not to think about this situation.

After all, among the candidates of this year, some even Shangnin would find it a little tricky.

"Don't worry, the situation you mentioned will not be a candidate. The chief examiner is the general person in charge, but the off-site support personnel are served by several Jōnin. Unless there are some of you who can surpass a few in strength. Joinin teamed up."

After a pause, Shiraishi saw that the candidates had no doubts, and spoke again: "There are still about ten minutes before the start of the preliminaries. Before that, I would like to ask if any of you feel unwell. Or those who don’t want to participate in the qualifiers and just give up the exam? If not, then start preparing for the qualifiers, and if you want to quit then, it’s too late.”

"What kind of idiot question are you doing? After all this hard work, how could anyone notice that they would just give up the exam?"

The question of Shiraishi caused Naruto to laugh loudly.

The rest have similar ideas.

Abandon the exam? How can such an idiot exist.

Shiraishi ignored Naruto's ridicule and just stared at the candidates in front of him.

Not long after, when the others were secretly laughing, two voices rang out at the same time:

"I choose to give up the exam."

The venue suddenly fell silent.

Naruto's ridicule suddenly stiffened on his face, and he turned his head in surprise and looked at the two candidates who chose to drop the exam.

"Dou... Dou-senpai?"

One of the candidates who gave up the exam was Dou.

He smiled apologetically at Naruto and said, "Sorry, Naruto, in fact, after the second test, my injuries were very serious. The medical ninja in Sandyin Village also suggested that I should recuperate. I thought about it carefully. If you think about it, let’s give up this year’s Chunin exam and wait until next year.”

As he said that, he coughed with a pale face, giving a look of weakness that could not help but make many people frown secretly.

"Are you the pharmacist of Konoha Ninja Village?"

Shiraishi checked the candidate information in his hand.

"yes."

Kaoru looked at Shiraishi and smiled.

Shiraishi also looked at Kao, as if he was observing something.

The quality of the soul is very good, and his strength is at least the level of the captain of Konoha's dark part. If he takes the test, he is undoubtedly the strongest. Shiraishi realized this in an instant.

You can see how much chakra is in the human body with white eyes and perceptual ninjutsu, but if you encounter ninjas who can hide their own chakra, it is easy to misjudge their strength.

Dou obviously has the ability to hide his chakra.

And this is the basic skill of a good spy.

The pharmacist Ye Naiyu also has this ability, and can hide most of his chakra anytime, anywhere, so that others can't perceive it, and it is convenient to infiltrate various Ninja villages and steal confidential information.

However, this kind of camouflage is useless in front of Shiraishi, who can penetrate the essence of his soul.

After lingering on Dou's face for a few seconds, Shiraishi turned his head and looked at another examinee who had abandoned the exam.

She is a beautiful girl with braids, about twelve or thirteen years old, and wears the Ninja forehead of the Kingdom of Ghosts on her forehead.

\"Are you also going to give up the exam, Hanami Haruka?"

"Yes, Shiraishi-sama, I'm a medical ninja, and I'm not very good at fighting alone."

Hanami Haruka answered neither humble nor arrogant.

Shiraishi swept the information of Hana Jianyao, and saw the item of Xueji boundary.

The other's growth path is unique. Abandoning all combat abilities, specializing in the medical-type blood follower limit ability,

Ability to perform medical work remotely and to multiple people. It's just that because it has not been fully developed, it has not been able to exert the capabilities that it should have.

Although he just graduated from the ninja school, he is already a middle-level member of the military medical team with his excellent medical blood. One of the senior medical ninja candidates, and the youngest medical force senior medical ninja candidate.

With her ability, it is indeed not suitable for one-on-one combat.

No matter how reliable the medical ability is, it still needs the cooperation of people to exert its power.

Shiraishi nodded, then swept to others and asked, "Apart from the two of them, is there anyone else who wants to drop the exam? If not, then prepare to start the preliminaries."

There was no response. Seeing this, Shiraishi knew that no one else wanted to give up the exam.

"I'll ask you to preside over the next qualifiers, Onishima Shinobu."

When Shiraishi's voice fell, a man in his thirties with a resolute temperament and short black hair walked out of the team. It was the Shinobu Onishishima that Shiraishi spoke of.

"Yes." He faced all the candidates and said, "I am Kamijima, the land of ghosts, the chief examiner of the third exam, and also the chief examiner of this qualifier~www.readwn.com~ his The figure is very strong, and the height may exceed two meters. Just standing there, it gives people a very strong sense of oppression, like a wild orangutan.

"The way the qualifiers decide the opponent...this is it."

Onigishima Shinobu pointed to the huge electronic screen hanging high in front of the arena.

"This electronic screen will display the names of the candidates on both sides of the battle in each round. The candidates selected are random, and there is no possibility of falsification. Not much nonsense, time is limited, let's start the first round now."

As soon as Onishima Shinobu's words fell, the controller at the bottom of the electronic screen nodded and pressed the button.

The names of the candidates flashed across the electronic screen in an instant, and the voices beeped.

Some candidates swallowed. The electronic screen was like a roster ready to be punished, making them restless.

Soon, the names of the people on the electronic screen were fixed, and the names of the two candidates who were to compete appeared Tian Tian (Konoha) VS Yamazaki Hisa (ghost)

"Che, am I the first? What a bad luck."

Seeing his name appear on the electronic screen, the Oni no Kuni Shimonin, named Yamazaki Hisaru, walked out of his team with reluctance on his face.

Judging from his height, he is about thirteen or fourteen years old, and he wears a ninja forehead guard on his forehead, but the ninja forehead guard is not facing the front, but swayed to the left, giving a maverick style.
