Chapter 38

After the elimination round, the eleven victorious candidates, except Uchiha Sasuke, gathered in the hall again.

Seeing that six of the ten people were Konoha ninjas, the Third Hokage was filled with relief.

Holding a pipe and puffing away smoke, the Third Hokage said:"First of all, congratulations to you for successfully passing the elimination of the third exam. Next, I will explain to you the content of the third exam." After hearing his words , the candidates who felt extremely tired all became nervous and stared at the Third Hokage with serious expressions.

"Relax, I'm not asking you to start the third exam right away."The Third Hokage first consoled himself, and then said:"Just as Hayate said, the third test will show everyone's battle to the audience, so there can't be a protracted battle. We need to pass the elimination round just now to select those who can. Representing elites from various countries"

"In order to be fair and just, and to allow you to show your strength without reservation, the official competition of the third exam will start in one month."The Third Hokage continued:"In the next month, it doesn't matter whether you use it to improve your strength or collect intelligence."

"Then...I won't waste everyone's time! But before disbanding, please draw lots and know your opponents in advance."

After the words fell, the examiner of the second exam, Mitarashi Anko, held a box and walked out from behind the Third Hokage.

"Each of you, go to the box held by Anko and draw a lot, starting from the first one."

After listening to the words of the Third Hokage, Yagyu, who was the first to pass the elimination round, stood up, walked to Anko, put his hand in the box, and took out a random note. Opening the folded note, Yagyu looked at the one in front of him. Hongdou said:"I am No. 1."

The word"1" seems to have always been with Yagyu. When he was a child, he was always the first to be called out for random assessments. He was also the first to be called in the Taijutsu showdown with Hinata. His ranking has always been the top student, and he was the first in the knockout competition just now. One.

And now, in the official match of the third exam, he actually drew number 1 again.

If he remembered correctly, in the original work, Uzumaki Naruto seemed to have drawn number 1.

Could it be that... an idea just emerged, The next scene confirmed Yagyu's suspicion.

After two or three people finished drawing,

Hinata Neji walked out, took out a piece of paper from the box, opened it, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and turned to look at He looked at Yagyu and said:"I am No. 2.

Hinata opened her beautiful eyes slightly:"Yagyu-kun's opponent is... Brother Neji!""

Yagyu was also a little surprised.

He didn't expect that he would steal Sasuke Uchiha's opponent in the knockout round, and Naruto Uzumaki's opponent in the official match.

But...it was just right!

His red eyes looked at Hinata Neji with a cold look, and Yagyu said lightly He gently patted Hinata's shoulder and said,"You can go smoke it too."

"Um."

The ten people were drawn one after another, and the last lot went to Uchiha Sasuke. The order of the official match was soon decided. The first match: Yagyu Yusuke VS Hyuga Neji.

The second match: Uchiha Sasuke VS Gai Ai Luo.

The third game: Aburame Shino VS Kankuro.

The fourth game: Temari VS Nara Shikamaru.

The fifth game: Uzumaki Naruto VS Toss.

The sixth game: Hyuga Hinata, bye.

After the order was announced, the Third Hokage Then the ten candidates were dismissed on the spot.

Class 8 walked towards the transfer room. Yagyu looked at Hinata and smiled and said:"Hinata, you are lucky."

"Um."

Hinata smiled shyly and responded carefully with her face flushed.

Yuhi Kurenai had already left after the elimination round.

So, after the eighth class teleported outside the 44th training ground, they disbanded.

Yagyu and Hinata, as always, divided the work and cooperated.

One went home to wash the rice and cook, while the other went to buy vegetables.

40 minutes later, in the kitchen of the Yagyu family.

Yagyu held a kitchen knife in his hand, cutting the meat into thin slices while pretending to sigh with regret. :"Oh, I really wish I could go back to five days ago. Hinata seemed to hear the meaning of Yagyu's words, her face turned slightly red, and she whispered with some reluctance:"Actually, I...me too.""

Putting the meat on the plate, Yagyu washed his hands, dried them and walked behind Hinata. He held the girl's waist with both hands and rested his chin on her shoulder. He felt the girl's gradually warming skin with his face. Yagyu whispered softly. Asked:"Tomorrow we go to Teacher Hong to help us apply for a task and travel for a month. How about it?" Hinata

's eyes showed a trace of expectation and hesitation, and she said with some emotion:"Isn't this... bad?" Moreover, if my father knew that I passed the elimination round, he would definitely not let me leave the village."

When she said the last sentence, Hinata's tone was full of disappointment.

During the five days she lived with Yagyu, although the things at night were very embarrassing, she liked Yagyu very much who said sweet words at night. If possible, She also wants to travel with Yagyu.

But just like what she said, if Hinata Hizatsu knows that she has passed the elimination round and will appear in the official match of the third exam, it is very likely that she will restrict her life and even not allow her Go out.

Because even if her 'strength' is not as good as that of her sister who is 5 years younger than her, she is also the daughter of the Hyuga clan, so she can never embarrass the Hyuga clan.

She may be given strict training.

Yagyu played with Bai Yu's palm. After a slight pause, he said in a disappointed tone:"Is this so? It's a pity! Hinata raised her hand unbearably, pressed it on the back of Yagyu's hand through the apron, and suggested:"How about I tell my father that I have a bye and see if he will allow me to come out?" Yagyu smiled slightly, pecked Hinata's side face, and comforted:"It's okay, we still have a long time." After the chuunin exams, we will travel together. In the future, we will travel the ninja world together, okay?"

"Uh-huh……"

After listening to Yagyu's words, Hinata subconsciously painted those beautiful pictures in her mind and nodded repeatedly.
