Chapter 143 Gambling

Early the next morning, Yeshan took Tsunade to the Uchiha clan's hospital to visit his mother. After having lunch with his mother, the two returned home and never went out again.

Staying at home alone may be boring, after all, there are no smartphones or computers in the Naruto world to kill time, and at most you can watch TV. If two people stay at home together, a man and a woman, it is not boring at all, but it will cause one person to be listless and the other to be more and more moist...

Ye Shan was only in his twenties, and although he was in good health, he couldn't stand the tossing and turning several times a day. So on the third day, Ye Shan found an excuse and left his home in embarrassment.

Ahem, it's not that I can't do it, it's that I really have a mission to accomplish. The Chunin Exam is still going on, and I'm one of the examiners after all. It's really not that my body can't take it anymore.

As one of the five good young ninjas of the new era in Konoha, Yeshan must lead by example and actively serve as a role model for other ninjas in the village, telling them that only by completing every task conscientiously and responsibly can Konoha Village develop better and better.

Well, I have official duties to attend to, it’s not that I can’t do it.

Ye Shan held his waist and left the house, not even looking at Tsunade's resentful eyes, because he was afraid that just a glance would make his legs weak...

Today is the last day of the second Chunin Exam. It is really unacceptable for Yeshan, as the chief examiner, to be absent, which will inevitably leave an impression of arrogance to outsiders.

The process of establishing a good character is difficult, but establishing a bad character is often very easy, so easy that it only takes a few small things to make a final conclusion, so Ye Shan has to be careful.

When Ye Shan arrived at the examination site, he was shocked to find that there was a newly built platform compared to the previous few days.

The platform was not big, but it was not small either. It was about several dozen meters long and four or five meters wide. There were dozens of chairs on the platform, and the most eye-catching thing was a transparent and exquisite glass cabinet with a tray inside. On the tray lay five black scrolls.

Ye Shan knew that these scrolls were the rewards for the top three in this exam, but he didn't expect Sarutobi Hiruzen to do this. It seemed that he wanted to give out the rewards publicly and was not afraid that the top three would be snatched away by other ninja villages and be embarrassed.

Although the Genin team sent by Konoha is very powerful, there is still a certain amount of luck involved in winning in such a large forest. And luck is something that no one can predict, and it is very likely that the team you defeat will explode with dozens of tokens.

Seeing that it was the examiner Ye Shan who had disappeared for several days, a ninja stepped forward and greeted him: "Master Ye Shan."

"Ah."

"How's the exam going inside?"

"Everything is normal. The Hokage-sama has entered the forest to observe."

Ye Shan raised his eyebrows and asked in a deep voice: "Do you know the exact location of Hokage-sama?"

"There is a small house three kilometers away at nine o'clock. The Hokage-sama is always there."

Ye Shan waved his hand to signal the ninja to go and do his work, and then he ran straight to the hut.

With Ye Shan's current speed, a distance of three kilometers was not far at all. He soon came to a wooden house covered with moss. This wooden house was originally a temporary resting place for forest ranger ninjas. Naturally, it was extremely simple, but now it was surrounded by several Anbu ninjas and the senior ninjas in charge of the exam.

Under the strange gazes of several people, Ye Shan pushed open the wooden door and walked in. There were two people sitting in the room, Sarutobi Hiruzen and his apprentice Jiraiya.

"Hayama is here." Sarutobi Hiruzen said with a smile, and it was hard to tell that something unpleasant had happened between the two of them just a few days ago.

"Good morning Hokage-sama, Jiraiya-sama."

Sarutobi Hiruzen waved his hand, motioning for Ye Shan to sit down and talk, and pointed to a crystal ball and said, "I was just about to send someone to find you. Let's go and see how these little guys perform."

Ye Shan's attention was involuntarily attracted to the crystal ball. The surface of the crystal ball actually showed the scene in the forest like a surveillance camera, which made him very curious.

Jiraiya chuckled and said, "This is a new ninjutsu that the old man developed. It's called the Telescope Technique. What do you think, Hayama?"

Ye Shan looked at the crystal ball with interest, and smiled when he heard it: "The reputation of Lord Hokage has spread throughout the ninja world, and the ninjutsu he developed is naturally mysterious and extraordinary. But we are hiding here and spying, it might not be good if outsiders know about it, right?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's smile froze for a second before he said, "No one will know. After all, we are all family here."

There seemed to be something else behind these words, but Ye Shan did not respond. Instead, he stared at the crystal ball with great interest, as if the scene there was what attracted him the most.

What emerged in the crystal ball was a battle between two Genin, one from the Land of Lightning and the other from the Land of Earth. The battle was already coming to an end and the winner would soon be decided.

Sure enough, just a moment later, the Genin from the Land of Lightning was pierced through the heart by the enemy with a grin on his face, and was dead beyond deadness.

Sarutobi Hiruzen stretched out a finger and tapped the crystal ball. The scene suddenly changed and another battle scene appeared, which amazed Yeshan.

The telescope technique is perfect for spying on other people's privacy. I don't know if Sarutobi Hiruzen has been spying on me. I'd better be more careful in the future.

"Stop for a moment, old man."

Jiraiya's sudden words made Sarutobi Hiruzen not know what he was going to do, but he still pointed his finger at the crystal ball and stopped spying.

"How about we make a bet?"

Ye Shan's mind moved, and he asked calmly, "What do you want to bet on, Master Jiraiya?"

Jiraiya smiled and said, "Of course, I'm betting on the outcome of the fight between those two just now."

The fight between the two men had just begun, and they were still talking some pre-war trash talk, so it was impossible to tell how strong they were. But there was one person that Ye Shan knew, and that was the genius young man named Uchiha Huoyu.

"In that case, I bet on Uchiha Huoyu to win."

"Oh?"

Jiraiya raised an eyebrow and chuckled, "You're pretty quick at placing bets. I'm betting on the Rock Ninja to win. What about you, old man?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen thought for a moment and said, "I won't participate. I'll just be a referee. What is your blockade?"

"The loser will treat you to dinner tonight, how about that?"

Ye Shan agreed without hesitation. Even though he was short of money, he still had enough money for a meal. He was also very confident in Uchiha Huoyu's strength and there was no reason for him to be afraid of Jiraiya.

Seeing that the two had reached an agreement, Sarutobi Hiruzen tapped the crystal ball again, and immediately the battle scene appeared on it.

Uchiha Huoyu is twelve years old this year, with a thin body and pale complexion. Although he looks weak, his physical skills are extremely ferocious. So he approached closely at the beginning of the battle and attacked with two kunai in a very methodical manner.

All the ninjas who have survived to this day are extremely powerful. The Rock Ninja sneered, clenched his fists and attacked in the same way. The two of them fought under the watchful eyes of their four companions and three peepers.

As for Uchiha Huoyu, he was not as relaxed as he seemed on the surface. Every time he hit the opponent, the force would make his arm numb. This was not the worst. The worst thing was that the opponent's left fist, which had not been swung out, put a lot of pressure on him.

This Rock Ninja Uchiha Huoyu was no stranger to him. He was the ninja who possessed the Bloodline Limit of Explosion Style and was indeed very powerful.

"drink!"

Just as Uchiha Huoyu was secretly groaning, the Rock Ninja shouted in a deep voice, and swung out his left fist which had been ready to strike, but it hit the ground.

"Explosive Escape·Thunder Fist!"

"boom!"

Explosions and flames appeared in an instant, and the violent wind blew Uchiha Huoyu's thin body away. Then the Rock Ninja grinned, waved his fist and caught up with Uchiha Huoyu, who was still in mid-air with nowhere to gain support, and was about to kill him with one punch.

Uchiha Huoyu's face was gloomy. Seeing this, he pulled the steel wire in his hand without hesitation, and used the force to escape from the pursuit of the Rock Ninja. After landing safely, a fireball sprayed out.

The Iwagakure sneered, punched out and shattered the fireball, and said coldly: "Is this the only strength of the Uchiha clan's ninja?"

"Or are you still trying to preserve your strength and not want to use your full strength at this time?"

Uchiha Huoyu threw away the steel wire in his hand, rubbed his numb arm and asked: "What's your name?"

"Hunting, Explosive Hunting."

"Uchiha Huoyu."

After introducing themselves to each other, Uchiha Huoyu asked again: "How many tokens do you have?"

Shou raised his eyebrows, took out thirteen tokens from his pocket, and then put them away.

"Is that enough for you to fight with all your strength?"

Uchiha Huoyu nodded. The other party had thirteen tokens, which was indeed enough for him to take the risk of life and death.

A pair of pitch-black eyes turned scarlet in the blink of an eye, emitting a strange aura, making Uchiha Huoyu's aura gloomy and cold.

Shou secretly raised his guard in his heart, but on the surface he showed disdain: "Why is it only one magatama?"

Uchiha Huoyu's heart was boiling with anger, and he said coldly: "Stop talking nonsense, if you don't take action, I will not be polite!"

After saying that, Uchiha Huoyu quickly formed hand seals and used a fire-style ninjutsu.

"Fire Release: Phoenix Immortal Fire Technique!"

Dozens of fist-sized fireballs swarmed out of Uchiha Huoyu's mouth and arrived in front of Shou at lightning speed, about to burn him.

Shou sneered and punched the ground without thinking. A wall of earth appeared and blocked the fireball. Then he reached into the ninja tool bag with his left hand, took out four or five detonating tags and pressed them on the earth wall.

"boom!"

An explosion sounded, and the earth wall shattered into pieces in an instant. Under the impact of the explosion, a large number of stones shot towards Uchiha Huoyu like bullets.

The attack range of this move of Hunting is extremely wide and the speed is extremely fast. Ordinary ninjas simply cannot make the most correct judgment in an instant and die on the spot. However, Uchiha Huoyu is a ninja who has been carefully trained by a large family since childhood. He has rich experience in fighting with others. He guessed that the enemy must have a backup plan the moment the earth wall appeared, so the seal of the substitution technique was already completed at the same time as the explosion was heard.

"Duh duh duh!"

The suddenly appearing wooden stake was riddled with holes from stones. Uchiha Huoyu appeared not far from the hunter, and with a shake of his hands, he threw out two kunai one after the other.

The strange thing was that the kunai did not fly towards the enemy but in mid-air, and then collided with each other under the gaze of everyone, and one of them stabbed towards Shou almost vertically due to the force.

Shou's face turned pale, and he wanted to change position to dodge, but it was too late. He had no choice but to stretch out a red fist and smash the extremely fast kunai.

"Explosive Escape·Thunder Fist!"

Another explosion was heard, and the kunai was blown away, saving Shou's life. Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, several shurikens flew towards him along the ground.

It was almost noon at this time, and the light was extremely poor due to the presence of large trees in the forest. By the time Shou reacted, the shuriken was already in front of him and he had no time to dodge.

Shou took a deep breath, and the chakra under his feet suddenly exploded, bouncing his body up and narrowly avoiding the attack of the shuriken.

Uchiha Huoyu watched the enemy's movements coldly, and when he saw the other party jump up, he grinned fiercely, and pulled the steel wire with his right hand. Several shurikens hidden in the shadows entangled Shou's feet.

It was the Shadow Shuriken Technique of the Uchiha clan! Don't think this technique is simple. In fact, the conditions required for performing this technique are extremely harsh. Not only does it require the caster to master the throwing skills of the shuriken accurately, but it also requires the caster to fit the hidden shuriken into the shadow of the shuriken above. It is impossible to do this without hard practice.

Caught off guard, Shou was pulled by the steel wire and staggered to the ground uncontrollably. He became really panicked, his two fists glowed red and he was about to break the steel wire to break free, but Uchiha Huoyu, who had been planning for a long time, would not let him do as he wished.

"Fire Release·Dragon Fire Technique!"

A fire dragon illuminated the dim forest, then roared and rushed towards the enemy along the steel wire.

Uchiha Huoyu narrowed his eyes and looked at the enemy coldly, his hands still maintaining the posture of making hand seals.

When the flames dissipated, a roasted black figure appeared there, emitting a sickening burnt smell.

Click click click.

The hard shell on the surface of the figure fell off, revealing the hunter hiding inside. His image at this moment was not very good. Not only was all his hair burnt, but his clothes were also gone. His exposed skin was also covered with blisters, which were so dense and disgusting.

Uchiha Huoyu slowly stood up, took out a kunai and wanted to go forward and kill the enemy once and for all, but he didn't expect that the signal for the end of the exam was given at this time.

Normally, once the exam is over, no one should continue to fight, otherwise it would be a violation of the exam rules and they would be disqualified immediately. But Uchiha Huoyu knew from a young age that the root of the grass should be cut, and he ignored the red flare, and with a flick of his right hand, the kunai flew out, and was about to kill the enemy.

"Ding!"

The remaining two Rock Ninjas rushed forward, one of them knocked away the kunai shot by Uchiha Huoyu, and the other took out healing medicine and sprinkled it on Shou's body.

"Why do you have to kill? We just admit defeat."

Uchiha Huoyu sighed in his heart, knowing that he had missed the best opportunity to kill the opponent, and said indifferently: "Hand over your tokens."

The two Iwa Ninjas kicked the tokens scattered on the ground without hesitation, and then helped the unconscious Shou away.

Sarutobi Hiruzen saw the crystal ball here and interrupted the broadcast.

"The Uchiha clan is really full of geniuses. This little guy is so young, but his shuriken throwing skills are even better than some jonin."

Jiraiya scratched his head and smiled bitterly: "The Uchiha clan is already proficient in shuriken throwing. Aren't you just comparing your own shortcomings with others' strengths, old man?"

As he said that, Jiraiya turned his head and looked at Ye Shan: "You choose the place tonight, I will accept the loss."

Ye Shan nodded and was about to speak when a ninja said outside the house: "Hokage-sama, the time has come."

Sarutobi Hiruzen stood up with a smile and said, "Let's go and see which team can take the lead."

Hayama and Jiraiya looked at each other, and followed Sarutobi Hiruzen towards the built platform.

The second round of the Chunin Selection Exam has officially ended.
