Chapter 71 The game begins
Three days passed quickly.
The battle in the arena finally begins.
An ellipsoid-shaped venue where thousands of Konoha villagers gathered.
The villagers also regarded the rare Chunin Joint Exam as a grand event.
People came to watch the genin's battles as if they were watching a football match.
Located in the stands on the second floor, the Fourth Kazekage and the Third Hokage sat side by side.
As the leaders of the two villages, they are also very happy to watch their favorite students compete here.
But the Third Generation didn't know that the Kazekage at this time was already Orochimaru in disguise.
Feng Ying said slowly:
"Hokage-sama, I have seen some scenes from the second exam."
"It seems that the ninjas of Konoha are not very outstanding."
"Gaara's strength may far exceed your imagination."
Sandai snorted inadvertently, feeling a little dissatisfied at being ridiculed in front of his face.
Speaking of Konoha's capable genin, there are quite a few.
But none of them are as outstanding as Gaara.
It is said that when Gaara passed through the Death Forest, his clothes were not stained by even dust.
However, Sandai immediately thought of another person.
"Speaking of outstanding genin, Senkage Gengetsu from Iwagakure Village is no worse than Gaara, right?"
"It is said that he easily defeated a dozen teams and even had a picnic in the Forest of Death."
"Such strength is probably not comparable to Gaara's."
Speaking of Sengee Senkage, although he was not from his ninja village, the third generation still wanted to use him to rub the Kazekage's spirit.
But when the Kazekage (Orochimaru) heard the name Qiankage Gengetsu, he didn't speak for a long time.
He is much more familiar with Xuan Yue than the third generation.
He vividly remembered when the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan crushed the golden and silver horns.
But when he was executing his plan, Xuan Yue, who was participating in the Chunin Exam, must have something up his sleeve.
"Yes, Xuan Yue is also a good seedling." Feng Ying said slowly, but there was a hint of hatred in his words.
At this time, a burst of cheers gradually overwhelmed the conversation between the two.
The contestants who played against each other in the first round appeared.
At this moment, the heads of two ninjas were displayed on the big screen.
Uchiha Sasuke vs Red Copper Kai.
"Ahem, please ask the two contestants to come up to the stage."
Moonlight Hayate, the examiner, said slowly.
Xuan Yue was lying on the railing and watching, and couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Moonlight Hayate really looked like he was seriously ill. The dark circles under his eyes and the fact that he would cough every time he spoke made him feel very unlucky.
But not long after, he would be killed by Sand Ninja Magee.
"Come on Sasuke," Sakura whispered.
In the past, there were not many fans of Uchiha Sasuke in the stands, and most of them were female fans.
But this time, many female fans have joined the ranks of worshiping Xuan Yue, and competition among fans has formed.
"Lord Xuan Yue is more handsome!"
"No, Sasuke is still handsome!"
Xuan Yue couldn't laugh or cry, Sasuke said secretly: "Boring woman"
After saying that, the confident Sasuke jumped off the stands and landed in the arena.
The opponent is a ninja who can absorb chakra. He is also a subordinate of the sound ninja and is on the same team as Yakushi Kabuto.
However, this time Sasuke no longer has to worry about using chakra, because the curse seal of the sky has been lifted.
Therefore, the red copper armor had no chance and was instantly killed by Sasuke using ninjutsu.
Orochimaru's expression changed slightly on the stage.
He didn't understand why the curse seal didn't take effect! Why can Sasuke use ninjutsu unscrupulously!
Xuan Yue turned around and looked at Orochimaru on the high platform, showing a playful smile.
"So it's you?" Orochimaru said softly through gritted teeth.
The next few games are not as suspenseful as the original ones.
But with the addition of Xuanyue's group, the order of battle has been slightly changed.
Kurotsuchi faced off against the rising Hinata Neji.
There was no suspense, he was easily defeated and disqualified.
Neji also gave Xuan Yue face and did not seriously injure Kurotsuchi. Otherwise Xuan Yue would definitely have to teach Neji a lesson in front of everyone.
"It's okay, try your best next time." Xuan Yue touched Heitu's head.
It is worth mentioning that Chino faced Neji's cousin Hyuga Hinata.
After just a few fights, Hinata was at a disadvantage.
Chino, who controlled the blood escape technique, suppressed Hinata, who only had melee combat skills.
"Blood Ninjutsu...and her eyes?" Sandai murmured, "What an interesting jutsu. Is this also an eye jutsu?"
Speaking of the Blood Pond Clan, they are a rare family in the ninja world.
It’s normal for the third generation not to know.
But the knowledgeable Orochimaru saw Qianno's origins at a glance.
"The Blood Dragon Eye is undoubtedly a pupil technique, and its potential is no less than that of the Uchiha clan." Orochimaru said slowly.
"I see, Lord Kazekage is really knowledgeable." The third generation said with a smile.
What Orochimaru was thinking about was how to get the Blood Dragon Eye.
He originally only placed his hope on Uchiha's Sharingan.
But now there is another Qianno and Xuanyue. Which one doesn't have more potential than Sasuke's two magatama?
Orochimaru was dazzled at this moment.
"That's enough, Blood Pond Chino wins." Moonlight Hayate judged Chino's victory in time, so that Hinata would not be seriously injured.
Hinata was a little unwilling, with tears streaking in the corners of her eyes.
He actually lost to Qianno, who was several years younger than him. Everyone would be unwilling to do so.
"Even we may find that technique difficult." Shino Aburame comforted her.
"Yes, the power of blood is scary to look at!" Ya commented.
Afterwards, there were a few more ordinary fights.
Naruto easily defeated Kiba, Shino defeated Sak, and Shikamaru defeated Jin.
At this time, a special battle began.
Haruno Sakura vs Yamanaka Ino.
"Come on, Sakura-chan!" Naruto shouted from the stands.
Sakura, who was a little frightened, looked at Sasuke and found that the latter ignored her.
But Xuan Yue put her hand on Sakura's thin shoulder and said softly: "Be confident, Yamanaka Ino's strength is not as strong as you think."
With a blush on her cheeks, Xiao Ying nodded and said, "Yes, I will work hard Xuan Yue."
"You two, please step forward." Moonlight Gale coughed twice, "Don't hurt your life, no rules, let's start!"
Facing Ino, who possesses the secret skills of the mountain clan, Sakura is instinctively afraid.
The other person is her childhood friend, and he has always had a very strong personality.
For her, this battle was a battle with inner demons.
But before feeling the inexplicable fear, Sakura thought of Xuan Yue's smile, which gave her the confidence to muster up courage.
"Sakura, I think you should give up as soon as possible." Yamanaka Ino sneered, "How can a weakling like you be qualified to stay by Sasuke's side?"
Ino, who also likes Sasuke, has always regarded Sakura as a love rival.
But Sakura smiled warmly and raised her head.
"Sorry, Ino, I don't like Sasuke anymore!"
