Konoha: Otsutsuki from the Earth

Chapter 41 The Third Exam Begins

The opening day of the third round of the Chunin Exams.

Qi Fei arrived at the venue for the third exam early in the morning. At this time, the venue was already crowded with countless spectators sitting in the towering auditorium, discussing the upcoming game enthusiastically.

According to the notice, Qi Fei and the others need to gather at the competition venue first.In addition to reconfirming the opponents for the competition, it is to let the audience around know the players who will compete next.

"Class [-] doesn't seem to be here..." Shikamaru glanced at the contestants, and found that Sasuke and Naruto were not there.

"My name is Shiranui Genma, because something happened to the previous referee Yueguang Gale, so I will replace the referee for the third test."

A ninja with long brown hair, wearing a blue ninja hat, and holding a thousand copies of a ninja in his mouth said to the participants.

"There must be trouble again..." There is no need to replace the referee if the exam is not necessary. Shikamaru has a hunch that this matter is not easy.

"Then..." Xuanjian also scanned the contestants and said, "You should have understood the rules before. The third test is an elimination round, and the winner can advance to the next round. But whether you can become a Chunin depends on you Performance during the test."

bang bang bang!When Genma was explaining the competition rules and precautions to the contestants, several fireworks rose from the venue and exploded, heralding the opening of the third competition.

"The preparations for the third exam have begun. Let me face the audience first." Looking at the fireworks in the sky, Xuanma turned his back to the contestants and said.

"what--"

With a scream, a black figure sprang out from the entrance of the venue, fell heavily on the ground, and slid to the front of the contestants' team due to inertia.

"This guy... what kind of way is this?" Shikamaru complained as he looked at Naruto who was lying on the ground in a daze.

Shikamaru, who was the closest to Naruto, kindly helped Naruto up, but the first thing Naruto did after waking up was to point behind him nervously, and shouted in a panic: "Everyone, run, the cows in the village, the cows! The group is coming!"

"Huh? What are you talking about?" Shikamaru looked puzzled as he looked at the nervous Naruto.

【I forgot about this, Naruto seems to be chased by a bull all the way...】

Although others were a little confused by Naruto's actions, Qi Fei could quickly guess what happened.

"It's true, anyway, there are so many..." Naruto, who was originally flustered, suddenly felt that the atmosphere around him was not right.Turning his head, he found that the contestants of the third test were standing around him, and they were also staring at him.

"Huh? Huh? Where's Sasuke?" Knowing that he had successfully arrived at the competition venue, Naruto immediately looked for Sasuke.

"Late like you, and haven't come yet." Shikamaru replied.

"Okay, you two!" Xuanjian interrupted the two who wanted to continue chatting, "Stop chatting, and stand upright and face the audience!"

Naruto looked up, only to find that the competition venue was surrounded by a towering viewing platform, and the audience on the platform were shouting enthusiastically, cheering for all the contestants.

Being watched by so many spectators, all contestants subconsciously became serious.After all, today's game is not only about the promotion of Chunin, but also means that once he loses, he will be remembered by all the audience.

[This bad one is complete social death. 】

Already a bit introverted, Qi Fei subconsciously became nervous when he saw so many viewers.

"In this competition, you are the protagonists!" said Genma Shiranui, leading the contestants to the audience and the viewing platform where the Third Hokage was.

At this time, at the highest point of all the spectator stands, in the spectator stand exclusive to Hokage, Kazekage, the highest leader of Hidden Sand Village, arrived late.

After waiting for a long time, the Third Hokage and the Fourth Kazekage exchanged pleasantries, then got up and announced the start of the third exam:
"Dear guests, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to everyone who came to Konoha Village to watch the Chunin selection exam.

"Next, a total of seven candidates who have passed the pre-selection will participate in the official selection competition. Please watch it to your heart's content!"

"I want to say something more before the game." Xuan Jian took out a game form from his body and showed it to everyone, "This is the order of today's game, please keep it in mind."

"Well, Sasuke hasn't come yet, what should we do?" Naruto asked worriedly.

"If he doesn't show up at the start of his game, it's lost without a fight."

Hearing these words, Naruto looked behind him even more worriedly.According to his understanding, Sasuke would come to the competition even if he dragged his body, how could he be late, could something have happened.

On the other side, hearing Xuanma's answer, all three of Gaara's team subconsciously looked at Qi Fei not far away with a calm expression on his face.They both knew that if Sasuke was late, then Gaara would face Oi directly.

Even after a night of treatment, the skin under the armor of Gaarasha still has a large area of ​​frostbite.They all know Gaara under normal conditions is definitely not Qi Fei's opponent, but using the power of the tail beast in advance will disrupt the original plan.

Feeling the discomfort from the frostbite on his body, Gaara's eyes were full of anger.He can't wait to tear Qi Fei to pieces now, but Qi Fei's strength makes him afraid; and there are four generations of Kazekage watching the battle on the stage, so he can't destroy the planned plan.

The anger that had nowhere to vent made him look extraordinarily ferocious.

"Although the venue is different, like the qualifiers, the rules are that there are no rules. The winner will not be decided until one side dies or admits defeat." Ignoring the strange behavior of the contestants, Xuanjian continued to explain on his own The rules, "However, if I think the score is over, I will stop the game and no resistance is allowed, understand?"

Seeing that everyone had acquiesced, Xuanjian began to announce: "Then the first round is: Naruto Uzumaki Qifei. These two stay, and the others return to the lounge."

Naruto looked at Qi Fei standing beside him with a fighting spirit on his face.Under the guidance of the lustful sage Jiraiya, he has been reborn, far stronger than himself.

In addition, he also learned how to use the power of the nine tails in his body.Therefore, he is confident that he can defeat Qi Fei, and then have a duel with Sasuke in the next round.

On the spectator stand, countless spectators are predicting the outcome of the first battle based on their own experience, including Hinata who is also silently watching the battle.

She still prayed in her heart for Naruto to win.But rationality told her that it was absolutely impossible for Naruto to defeat Qi Fei.This is the consensus of everyone who has experienced Qi Fei's strength, even if Naruto is his idol and belief.

But she hoped in her heart that Naruto would be able to persist until the end and win as before with his tenacity.

Except for Hinata, almost no one in the surrounding audience felt that Naruto could win.They don't know Qi Fei's strength, but seeing the difference in stature and temperament between Qi Fei and Naruto, they think that Naruto, who looks like a child, has no hope of winning.

On the other side of the auditorium, Ino said to the worried Sakura, "Sakura, even if you are worried about Sasuke, you should cheer for Naruto."

"That's right!" Sakura agreed with a smile.

"Although I said that, if the opponent is Qi Fei, it is impossible for Naruto to win..."

"..."

At the same time, the two girls recalled in their minds the memory of Qi Fei in the forest of death, easily freezing their invincible opponents.Even Sasuke, who lost his mind and ran away, was easily defeated. They really couldn't imagine the picture of Naruto winning.

In their minds, the outcome of the game will end when Naruto is frozen into an ice sculpture.

"Qi Fei should be merciful." Recalling Qi Fei's behavior style all the time, Sakura said to herself.

Sakura's words reminded Ino of the memory of being healed by Qi Fei in the Forest of Death:
At that time, Qi Fei relied on his superb medical ninjutsu to quickly restore her body to its original state, and even seemed to have infinite energy in her body.

Relying on this energetic state, after saying goodbye to class [-], their class quickly and strongly defeated a team and successfully won the scroll to pass the exam.

Thinking of this, Ino said: "It should be, as a senior, he really takes care of us."

While the surrounding spectators were constantly discussing and predicting the outcome of the game, Qi Fei and Naruto on the field had already stood apart, watching each other face to face.

"Naruto, don't hold back, this match will be very painful." Qi Fei said with a smile as he clenched his hands alternately.

"Don't underestimate me, I won't lose today!" Naruto pointed at Qi Fei and shouted without showing any weakness, "I am no longer who I used to be, I will definitely win you and fight Sasuke!"

Seeing the two people getting ready, Shiranui Genma announced:

"Then, the first round, let's begin!"

　The company encountered something today, and there is no time to write, so I can only put half of it first.
