Hokage: I’m Enlightened Again

Ino's little thoughts were almost written on his face, Tiantian saw through it at a glance, and deliberately teased: "What? Shenmu is not your boyfriend, why can't I just hold your hand? And Shenmu didn't refuse..."

Ino: (●･̆⍛･̆●)

"It just doesn't work. You're like this... very... very..."

Ino blushed and didn't say anything in the end.

Tiantian showed a jealous expression: "What? Are you jealous? ❛‿˂̵✧"

Ino immediately turned red with embarrassment: (*/ω＼*)

"I don't have one..."

People around: "..."

It’s all written on your face, okay! !

Even the slow Naruto noticed that Ino had unusual thoughts about Shenmu, and poked Shenmu next to him: "Hey, you are quite popular."

Shenmu looked confused: "(⊙o⊙)What?"

Naruto: "..."

"Hey! Are you so slow?"

Shenmu: "Why is it slow? Ino didn't say anything. (￢‸￢) ?"

"Forget it, let's not talk about this." Naruto facepalmed.

Sasuke next to him pointed to the open space in front of the crowd: "Look, the old man from Third Generation is coming!"

As the Third Hokage appeared, all the candidates' attention was focused.

"Ahem!"

After the Third Generation old man appeared, he coughed twice to signal everyone to be quiet, and then began to say: "Congratulations to everyone for successfully passing the second round of the Chūnin exam."

"I believe you all know that the Chūnin exams held by various alliance countries are not just an evaluation exam between you. It also represents a competition between countries."

"So, you must work hard in the next third exam."

"Because standing behind you are your respective ninja villages. The abilities you demonstrate will be directly related to the tasks assigned to each village..."

"In addition...the third exam is scheduled to be held in one month. At that time, the daimyo from various countries and the 'shadows' of Ninja Village will be present."

"The third game is only a month away, so why are we called today."

Naruto asked from the audience.

At this time, the examiner of the third exam appeared. He bowed to Hokage first, and then began to introduce himself: "Hello everyone, I am the person in charge of the third exam of this Chūnin exam, Moonlight Hayate... cough cough …”

"The main purpose of calling everyone together today is to hold the preliminaries for the third game."

"Everyone just heard what Mr. Hokage said. There will be many important people arriving for the third exam that will be held in a month, so the time must be strictly controlled."

"Because the first and second tests of this Chūnin exam are too easy, there are a lot of people who passed. Therefore, a preliminary selection will be held to select half of you from the twenty or so people to take the third test. "

"The preliminaries are very simple. Each of you will be matched up according to the drawing method later. You will compete in pairs. The winner will be able to participate in the next game."

"Because the criterion for determining victory or defeat is the death of one party or surrender, casualties are likely to occur during the exam. If you want to withdraw from the exam, you can raise your hand."

After listening to what the examiner of the third exam, Moonlight Hayate, said, everyone looked at each other.

Finally, a certain ninja raised his hand: "I give up this exam!"

Shenmu looked back to where the man was and found that it was a Konoha Shinobi.

It seems that his name is Yakushi Kabuto. Before the first exam, Naruto and Sasuke also learned about the composition of the candidates from him.

Amidst the confused expressions of all the candidates, Yakushi Kabuto pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose and explained the reason for his withdrawal: "I just went through the difficult second test, and if I want to do the preliminaries now, my Chakra supply is not enough. "

Everyone nodded after hearing this.

Many people in this exam have just gone through the difficult survival in the Death Forest, and they have very little left in terms of physical strength or chakra.

It would be unwise to participate in the qualifiers and engage in a life-and-death struggle with other ninjas under such circumstances, so it was understandable to give up.

However, Shenmu, who has a sensitive sense of Chakra, noticed something was wrong with Yakushi Kabuto.

The Chakra in this person is obviously very abundant!

Why should you withdraw for this reason?

Although he was confused, Shenmu did not ask.

Maybe this person is afraid of danger and is timid.

After Yakushi Kabuto announced his withdrawal, the examiner of the third exam, Hayate Tsukune, asked twice more.

After confirming that no one else wanted to quit, Moonlight Hayate took out a lottery tube.

"The qualifiers will no longer be fought in groups, which means that each of you may draw your own team members when you draw lots."

Before drawing lots, Moonlight Hayate added.

After listening to Moonlight Hayate's introduction, Naruto became visibly excited: "In this case, I can have a good competition with Shenmu or Sass! ୧⍢⃝୨"

"Idiot, why are you so excited? You don't think you can win if you meet us?!"

Sasuke said a little annoyed.

"No, I just want to have a good fight with you."

Naruto pumped his fist.

The drawing of lots begins.

Shenmu smoked one and glanced at the content he signed. There were two words written on it: "Tianyi"

Sasuke and Naruto beside him drew "Earth Five" and "Tian Nine" respectively.

Shenmu thought about it. There were two kinds of lottery in the bucket, heaven and earth. The sky and the earth faced off in pairs. The serial numbers like one, two and three on it were the order of appearance.

After everyone finished drawing bamboo sticks, Moonlight Hayate began to introduce the content of this exam. Just as Shenmu expected, it was a showdown between heaven and earth with the same number.

In other words, Shenmu was the first to appear in Tianzi, and his opponent was the person holding the "Diyi" lottery.

Shenmu's eyes swept across the crowd, wondering who would be the 'lucky one' to play against him.

"Everyone come with me to Konoha's 22nd Training Ground."

Then, Moonlight Gale waved everyone to the training ground.

Konoha's 22nd training ground.

This training ground is somewhat similar to the playground where Shenmu went to elementary school. There are auditoriums on both sides, and in the middle is where the ninjas compete.

Moonlight Hayate stood in the center of the training ground and shouted loudly: "Players holding "Tian Yi" and "Earth One" please come on! Let the game begin."

After hearing Moonlight Hayate calling his number, Shenmu couldn't wait to walk onto the training ground.

"I don't know which unlucky guy has run into Shenmu."

In the stands, Naruto gloated and said to Sasuke beside him.

Sasuke's eyes scanned the audience. He also wanted to know who was so 'lucky' to be the first one to appear and meet Shenmu.

At this moment, a man in black carrying a puppet slowly walked onto the training ground.

It's Sand Shinobi's puppet master, Kankuro!

I saw Kankuro looking at Shenmu coldly, and said with great force: "This time, I will never show mercy again!"
