Chapter 86: The Fast-Advancing Qualifiers

The second qualifying match is [Zak·Teng VS Aburame Shino]. Zak is the Oto-nin who loves to play with air cannons.

Since it was the same as the original, there was no need for Luo Yi to stay and watch the fight, so he left temporarily under the pretext of going to the toilet.

Because Sasuke had been taken away by Kakashi for a while.

...

When Luo Yi found them in a side hall, the handsome and chaotic "Evil Sealing Seal" had been completed, Sasuke was exhausted and fainted, and Orochimaru appeared in front of Kakashi with confidence.

"You are very lucky. You have already obtained the Sharingan... I also hope to have the Uchiha bloodline..." Orochimaru's voice still revealed an evil nature.

"Is it your boring ambition at work again?" Kakashi stood in front of Sasuke and silently assessed the current situation.

Well, the conclusion is intuitive: the situation is not optimistic.

"Perhaps so. For my ambition, I need a large number of chess pieces. For this reason, I established the Sound Village."

"Chess piece... Could Sasuke also be what you call a chess piece? And those children who came to take the exam?"

"Sasuke is a rare chess piece, and those candidates... they are just my discarded pawns."

Meanwhile, the battle between Shino and Saku is drawing to a close. Parasites widely distributed throughout the arena secretly blocked the air vents on Saku's palms, and the rapidly rising air pressure found a "breakthrough" in the old wound on his arm...

The expanding airflow even blew off his right hand.

There is no doubt that the seriously injured Sack does not have the energy to launch a "resurrection match". Luo Yi only needs to focus on the confrontation between Kakashi and Orochimaru not far away.

"Don't go any further," the nervous Kakashi had already threatened with the Raikiri, "Even though you are one of the three ninjas, at least I can die with you right now!"

Not surprisingly, this made Orochimaru laugh, “What you said and what you did are two completely different things… Your seal has no effect on Sasuke at all.

"You know very well that in order to achieve his goal, he will pursue any evil force, no matter how evil it is. He has this potential... After all, he is an Avenger."

"Is that what you see? But Sasuke..." Kakashi retorted hastily.

"He will come to me, to gain power, sooner or later..." Orochimaru interrupted rudely, then turned around and walked away slowly with a grin.

Ah, this feeling of being on high ground, looking down on everything, and maneuvering in all directions...

Orochimaru's smile froze.

"Hi." Luo Yi stretched out his right hand and waved in a friendly manner, while his left hand was placed somewhat deliberately on the hilt of the Kusanagi sword at his waist.

"It's you..." Orochimaru's eyes stayed on his face for a second, then swept across his waist, "Can I assume that you came here specifically to return the sword?"

Kakashi was about to say something but swallowed his words back.

What does that mean? After not seeing him for a few days, this little sword suddenly appeared on Luo Yi's body. Is it Orochimaru's?

"Sword? Where is the sword? Are you talking about my knife?" Luo Yi held the Kusanagi sword in his left hand, "I'm not saying anything bad about you, you are such a grown-up, but you can't even tell the difference between a 'sword' and a 'knife'..."

As soon as he opened his mouth, he was like an old hermaphrodite.

You can’t blame Orochimaru, because the original author’s hometown really doesn’t know the difference between swords and knives.

"If you showed up to annoy me, you did it." Orochimaru's smile was no longer as calm and composed as before, "You didn't think you and Kakashi could kill me, did you?"

"I can't kill you," everyone knows that you are the luckiest person in the whole game, of course you can't say this, "but I can make you feel very uncomfortable."

As he said this, he shook the Kusanagi sword again.

Orochimaru:"……"

Be patient, for a little impatience will ruin a big plan.

"Hmph!" Orochimaru said arrogantly and left in an instant.

Kakashi was a little confused. What was going on? "Luo Yi, have you had contact with Orochimaru?"

He even got his sword. Could it be that Orochimaru also took a fancy to him?

"During the second exam, he broke my knife, so he gave me his as compensation... Isn't this knife cool?"

Kakashi: "..."

I believe you are a very bad little bastard.

"Hey... shouldn't you be in the arena preparing for the challenge? Why are you here?" Just ask about his situation.

"I noticed that the instructor of the Sound Ninja was not present to watch the fight between his own Genin, but instead sneaked out. I thought it was unusual, so I followed him to take a look." Luo Yi couldn't say that he was afraid that the plot would collapse again.

If Orochimaru suddenly had a brain attack and killed Kakashi and took Min-nan away because the demon-suppressing sword (Kusanagi sword) was missing from his stomach, he would cry and faint.

"I see...Anyway, thank you for your support. I'm going to take Sasuke to the hospital next. Will you...return to the arena?"

"Yes, see you at the competition venue later, Kakashi-sensei."

...

"Luo Yi, why did you take so long? Did you get sick?"

"No, I just lost my way in life."

Luo Yi returned to the court and witnessed with his own eyes the seriously injured Sack being carried away on a stretcher by medical staff. His severed hand was casually placed on his stomach, with no consideration at all for preserving or reattaching the limb.

The style of the ninja world is so wild...

Looking at the podium again, the Sound Ninja Sensei that Orochimaru transformed into did not come back.

Is this the treatment of abandoned children?

"In the second round, Aburame Shino wins... Sako Stirrup is unconscious and has tacitly given up the 'revival match.'" Hayate made the verdict.

Another battle escaped.

The third round, [Ken Misumi VS Kankuro].

The former may be a test product of Orochimaru's "soft transformation", which is comparable to the rubber man next door. It can deform freely and has a certain toughness. It is good for infiltration, interrogation and assassination.

Unfortunately, the puppet he strangled was Kankuro's "Crow", so...

"So, do you want to apply for the 'resurrection match' and challenge Luo Yi for the competition spot?" Because the puppet's strangulation was stopped in time, no one was seriously injured in this match. Ji Feng asked the question in a businesslike manner.

"I..." Micheng took a look at the Kusanagi sword, hesitated for a long time, and finally gave up.

Yes, he is not a coward, but he knows the times and is working for Lord Orochimaru in order to better hide.

Luo Yi sighed with a hint of disappointment. Could it be that they really don’t have to fight at all?

The fourth round, [Haruno Sakura VS Yamanaka Ino].

If I must say, the fight lasted the longest. The two girls punched each other for more than ten minutes, and even had a soul-level duel in the spiritual world of "Heart Turning Technique".

In the end, both sides suffered heavy losses and fell into coma.

Fortunately, all the injuries were minor and no medical team was needed.

However, "neither player was able to continue the match, so the match ended in a draw...no one won the fourth round."

The verdict of the gale was simply cruel.

The fifth round, [Tenten VS Temari].

It was also a fight between girls, but this one was incredibly fast and Tiantian was defeated after just a few moves.

"Temari wins. Since Tiantian is in a coma, she has given up the resurrection match." Hayate read out the script like a ruthless machine.

And in the viewing stands…

"The competition is already halfway through, and Luo Yi hasn't made a single move... Surely the examiner really gave him preferential treatment this time?" Ya felt that the objection he had just raised was not a problem.

"You talk too much. What's wrong with preferential treatment? If you have the ability, why don't you break the exam record once?" Naruto spoke frankly and retorted.

"Okay, if there's a chance, I also want to fight with you." Luo Yi didn't want the two teenagers to quarrel because of him at all.

"I won't lose. I won't have to play a revival match with you. If I have to fight, I'll do it in the third exam." Ya set a beautiful flag.

Round 6, [Nara Shikamaru VS Koto Tsuchigumi].

Qin is the girl with long black hair from the Sound Ninja. After being accidentally hit by the shadow imitation technique, she was forced to bang her head against the wall and fainted in an undignified manner.

"Why did another one faint?" He gritted his teeth. Is it so difficult to watch a resurrection match?

"Don't care so much about others, just look at the screen." His teacher, Xihi Kurenai reminded him.

That’s right, the seventh round, [Uzumaki Naruto VS Inuzuka Kiba].

"Why didn't I realize it before... It seems like Naruto has a special affinity with the number "7"... Team , seventh round, seventh..." Luo Yi calculated with interest.

"Hmm?" Hinata turned her head after catching the key words.

Naruto's battles were truly spectacular, and the final, decisive copycat "Lion Combo" - "Uzumaki Naruto Combo" was so exciting to watch that Kakashi once thought that the title of "Copy Ninja" would be passed on to someone else.

"In the seventh round, Naruto wins. The loser, Kiba... is still awake, so do you want to apply for a 'revival match'?" Hayate asked Kiba who was slumped on the ground.

"…want!"

Despite the unbearable pain all over his body, Ya was unwilling to give up any opportunity.
