Chapter 52 Hinata and Yagyu's opponents, the showdown between the top students

After Aburame Shino won, the list of the third round of duels came out soon.

Ken Misumi VS Kankuro.

Like Akado Kai, Ken Misumi is also an undercover agent planted by Orochimaru in Konoha, and is one of the two teammates of Kabuto Yakushi.

It's just that this undercover agent doesn't seem very smart!

When fighting with Kankuro, he used software transformation unscrupulously, and his body could stretch freely like a snake.

People who don't know Orochimaru may not see anything wrong.

But people who know Orochimaru better, see the shadow of Orochimaru in Ken Misumi.

For example, Orochimaru's disciple, Mitarashi Anko.

And... Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Even if Ken Misumi wins, he should be waiting for the people of the torture department.

Unfortunately, he is not Kankuro's opponent.

The initial software transformation can still cause a little trouble to Kankuro.

But as his abilities are understood and there are no new moves, Kankuro quickly defeated him with a puppet.

The fifth round of the duel, Nara Shikamaru vs. Taeda Riki.

Taeda Riki is the only Oto-nin who did not give up.

However, before Nara Shikamaru went down, the Oto-nin raised his hand and said, "I give up!"

Hearing this, many people cast strange eyes at him.

Some suspicious people even had a trace of scrutiny in their eyes.

There is no way, this person is too suspicious.

He did not give up just now, but gave up now, what is he doing?

The Oto-nin ignored the eyes of these big men, raised his hand to give up, and left here quickly.

The mission of him and his companions is just to cover for Orochimaru and Lord Kabuto.

Now that Lord Orochimaru's goal has been achieved, there is naturally no need to stay here.

After all, their strength is far inferior to Lord Toss and others!

Sarutobi Hiruzen held a pipe in his hand and whispered to a special jonin next to him: "Go check these Oto-nin and their guiding jonin."

"Yes."

As the Oto-nin gave up, the name on the screen flashed again.

At the same time, a figure quietly appeared on the second-floor stand. It was Hatake Kakashi who had already sealed the curse seal for Uchiha Sasuke.

He did not report to Sarutobi Hiruzen. He had just met Orochimaru in the secret room. Instead, he told Naruto and Sakura about Uchiha Sasuke's situation, and then watched the next duel with the two students.

When the list of the sixth round of duels was finalized, no one noticed that the pupils of Yagyu, who was lying on the armrest, suddenly shrank to the limit under the lenses of the contact lenses.

How is this possible? !

The list of the sixth round of duels was surprisingly --

Hinata Hyuga VS Yumiko!

Yumiko was not unfamiliar to Yagyu, and the three Hinata girls, Nara Shikamaru and Akimichi Choji were not unfamiliar.

Before Hinata joined Yagyu's small circle, Yumiko was Sakura's deskmate.

This is not the key!

The main reason why Yagyu's pupils shrank was why Hinata's opponent was Yumiko?

It is not difficult to see from Uchiha Sasuke vs. Akadoun Kai that the random matches on the screen are all operated behind the scenes, whether in the original work or now.

Sakura vs. Ino in the original work may be said to be a coincidence.

But there are two duels that are definitely deliberately arranged.

These two duels are Uchiha Sasuke vs. Akadoun Kai, and... Hyuga Hinata vs. Hyuga Neji.

As the only remaining wealthy family in Konoha, the Hyuga clan has become the most valued ninja clan of Sarutobi Hiruzen.

If it were not for the fact that it is difficult for this clan to have a Kage-level, and at the same time knowing that they are the weakest wealthy family in Konoha, and have always been a supporter of the Hokage lineage since the establishment of Konoha, the Hyuga clan would definitely be suppressed by the Konoha high-level officials, and their treatment would not be much better than that of the Uchiha clan.

Since the birth of the bird in the cage, the Hyuga clan has always had the most outstanding heirs of the main family, and will be the strongest of the Hyuga clan in the future.

But in this generation, a genius appeared in the branch family, who was the top student of the 59th class of Konoha and the best Genin of the 59th class of Konoha.

In the original work, Sarutobi Hiruzen arranged Hinata VS Hyuga Neji, the purpose of which was to observe whether the Hyuga clan of this generation was the best, the main family or the branch family.

But now, Hinata's opponent is not Hyuga Neji.

Is it a coincidence that Hinata was matched with Hyuga Neji in the original work?

The only real secret operation was Uchiha Sasuke VS Akadoh Kai?

Although he felt extremely confused, Yagyu still smiled and encouraged Hinata: "Hinata, come on!"

"Yeah."

Hinata nodded with a smile, and then walked down.

Coincidentally, she and Yumiko were in the same stand.

When the two girls went down together, Yumiko whispered to Hinata: "Hinata, give me some face."

Hinata nodded seriously: "Yes, I will."

Hinata was very grateful to Yumiko.

If she hadn't been willing to exchange seats with her, her relationship with Ino and Sakura would never have reached the current level.

She was able to get the friendship she longed for and get in such close contact with the person she loved, thanks to Yumiko's help.

So, Hinata decided to go easy on Yumiko.

When the battle started, Hinata did not open the Byakugan, nor did she use the soft fist to deal with Yumiko, but used the basics of the ninja school teaching to fight Yumiko as an apprentice ninja.

During the period, Yumiko did not use any ninjutsu except the three bodies.

It's not that the instructor hasn't taught yet, it should be that he hasn't learned it yet.

After fighting for more than 20 rounds, Hinata appeared behind Yumiko in an instant and put a kunai on her neck to end the fight.

Seeing Hinata's performance, Hyuga Neji of the Might Guy team frowned, and he was even more displeased with this young lady.

She could have ended the fight quickly, why did she let him go like this?

As the eldest daughter of the main family, she actually fought with a civilian ninja like this. Doesn't she know that she is embarrassing the family?

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded with satisfaction in his heart.

This kindness to his own people is precious for the children of the ninja clan!

If the Hyuga clan is inherited by Hyuga Hinata in the future, there will be no threat to the top leaders of Konoha for at least the next few decades.

When Hinata returned to the stands, the name on the screen flashed again.

Before Yagyu congratulated Hinata, a lot of eyes gathered on him, including Yuhi Kurenai and Aburame Shino next to him, and Hinata who had returned.

On the big screen, it was clearly displayed——

Yagyu VS Hyuga Neji!

Seeing Yagyu's surprised expression, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was smoking with his pipe in hand, couldn't help but smile.

Just as Yagyu thought, this random match was indeed a secret operation.

When he saw the list of people who passed the second exam, Sarutobi Hiruzen did have the idea of ​​observing the heirs of the main and branch families of the Hyuga clan.

But after seeing Yagyu's name, he suddenly changed his mind and wanted to see the duel between the chief student of this class and the chief student of the previous class.

At the same time, Sarutobi Hiruzen also wanted to take this opportunity to see the potential of Yagyu, a civilian genius.

If Hyuga Neji wins, the duel between the main and branch families will be arranged in the official match of the third exam.

If Yagyu wins, it means that he is worth training and can be invested in, so that the Hokage lineage will have another mainstay in the future.

This arrangement is simply a plan to kill two birds with one stone!
