Chapter 6 Sarutobi Hiruzen: I like this kid more and more!
The Chunin walking at the front of the team actually heard the whispers of those children.
Doesn't he want to care? Of course he has been ordered not to care.
Soon, they returned to the square they were in yesterday.
Unlike yesterday, various instruments were already placed on the square.
Some are for testing strength, some are for testing speed, and there are also some wooden targets.
Then they were asked to line up in several columns.
Start testing at the same time.
First, strength.
Dumbbells and barbells, of course.
Although this situation brings joy to some and sorrow to others.
Some lifted it with ease, while others didn't move at all.
If you can lift it easily, you can naturally move on to the next item.
If the dumbbells do not move, you will lose the qualification for the test and also lose the qualification to become a ninja.
Those who fail will be taken away immediately, and all that awaits them is to live their lives as ordinary people.
Soon it was Zhou Cheng's turn.
There are 5 levels of dumbbells on the dumbbell rack.
They are 20 kg, 30 kg, 40 kg, 50 kg and 60 kg respectively.
These weights are certainly a piece of cake for ninjas, but the people being tested are just a group of children around 10 years old.
And they are all war orphans who are chronically malnourished.
Many people are skinny.
20 kilograms is a huge weight for them.
However, for Zhou Cheng, whose strength had been enhanced once by the Vermilion Gourd, this was not a big problem.
He went straight to the heaviest 50kg dumbbells.
In fact, the 60kg dumbbells are not a problem for him.
However, he still understood the principle that a tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind.
He didn't want to attract too much attention, but he also didn't want to be ignored.
Move your hands and arms a little.
Amid the stunned gazes of others, he easily lifted the dumbbells above his head.
"hiss!"
"That dumbbell must be fake!"
"That's 50 kilograms, more than twice my weight."
"That person looks skinny and weak, but he actually has such great power."
"He should weigh about the same as me, but he can lift something that is more than twice his own weight with one hand."
"Look at him, his face isn't red and he's not out of breath. He's really a monster!"
"Hey, hey, I'm telling you, don't mess with him!"
"Last night in the thatched cottage, a few kids actually tried to grab his bed, but he kicked them to death one by one!"
"Tsk, how is this possible? I don't believe it!"
"With his skinny arms and legs, a 50kg dumbbell can be broken directly!"
Not only the children around him, but even the Genin who served as evaluators looked at Zhou Cheng as if he were a monster.
A child in his early teens can easily lift a 50kg dumbbell.
It is truly amazing and shocking.
And at the edge of the square, was the real purple-haired Anbu.
Even with her kind strength and vision, she couldn't help but be shocked.
It is incredible that such a small body contains such great power.
Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was holding the crystal ball, had his mouth grinning to the back of his head.
"I like this child more and more!"
"I wonder what other surprises he has waiting for me!"
After Zhou Cheng, it was Bai.
He walked to the 30kg dumbbells and pretended to lift them with some difficulty.
His move was also met with praise.
However, Zhou Cheng has set a good example.
Everyone’s reaction wasn’t that big.
The second level is the barbell bench press.
Similarly, it is divided into 5 levels.
40 kg, 50 kg, 60 kg, 70 kg, 80 kg.
I push with my hands and the strength of multiple parts of my chest and shoulders.
Much easier than using dumbbells.
Anyone who can pass the first level can basically pass this level.
Zhou Cheng thought about it and walked to the 70-kilogram barbell.
Lie down, hold, push up, all in one go, without any pressure.
"Tsk, it's only 70 kilograms. He must have been lucky to lift the dumbbell just now!"
"I thought he could lift 80 kilograms. I'm so disappointed!"
Zhou Cheng glanced at him and smiled.
"proceed if you can!"
"Don't make me look down on you!"
Provoked by Zhou Cheng, the man felt embarrassed.
"Tsk, just go for it!"
Unlike Zhou Cheng, he chose a 60kg barbell.
After lying down, his expression was no longer as relaxed as it was at the beginning.
Grab the bar and push up.
"ah!"
His face flushed instantly, veins popped out on his neck, his arms shook, and the barbell looked like it might fall at any time.
"Pass!"
The Genin in charge of the assessment said this calmly.
The man felt relieved and suddenly loosened his hand.
The dumbbells fell heavily on the rack, making a loud crisp sound.
"Look, I can do it too!"
The man stood up and looked at Zhou Cheng provocatively.
"Haha, I thought the barbell was going to crush you to death!"
"Others lift 70 kilograms easily."
"You lifted 60 kilograms, barely, and you still dare to show off!"
"Hahaha!"
The people around also started laughing.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that he had to use all his strength to lift it, but Zhou Cheng looked so relaxed, his face wasn't red, and he wasn't out of breath.
High judgment.
The man seemed to know his own weight and stopped looking for trouble.
Bai naturally passed the second level easily.
The third level is to test the speed.
It's about 200 meters from one end of the square to the other.
If you sprint at full speed, you will pass within 20 seconds.
A distance of 200 meters is just a matter of seconds for a ninja.
However, only children are tested, so the requirements will naturally not be too high.
Zhou Cheng obtained the speed enhancement of the green gourd.
While conserving his strength and not using chakra, he ran in 18 seconds without even breaking a sweat, just a little out of breath.
Naturally, this caused waves of exclamations.
Bai obviously retained his strength and crossed the finish line in 20 seconds, looking very relaxed.
The previous few levels are just basic abilities. Although there is such a thing as talent, it can all be developed through acquired training.
The last level is the use of ninja tools.
The easiest way is to hit the bull's eye with a shuriken or kunai.
Zhou Cheng felt inexplicably excited.
In this stage, he has to give it his all.
Don't hold back any strength.
Because what he has to do is not just to hit the bull's eye, but to make the ninja tool fly in different trajectories in the air and then hit the bull's eye.
And he also prepared a trump card.
As long as he can successfully perform that move, he will be the coolest guy among the group.
He also thought about when he should retain his strength and when he should not.
His goal was to enter the Ninja School as a genius.
The more talented you are, the more resources you can get.
The more people you can get close to.
The more talents that can be replicated.
Therefore, in the last match, he would not only shock these children, but also all the ninjas present, and most importantly, the third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen who was observing him through the crystal ball.
