The New Uzumaki Legend of Naruto

Behind them are Sakura and Ino who were eliminated in the competition due to poor strength, while Shino defeated Kiba and successfully advanced.

After an hour, the qualifying round finally came to an end. Moonlight Hayate stood in the field and announced loudly:

"The last match between Rock Lee and Gaara!"

Menma watched with great interest as the last two people came on stage. Except for the opening and ending, basically the other two sides had changed. He couldn't guess what the third generation was thinking about arranging the battle in this way.

"Yoshi! Let me bloom like Naruto-kun. Youth is power!"

Xiao Li raised his arms and swung them downwards. After speaking, he quickly rushed towards Gaara who stood with his arms crossed.

"boom!"

"what!"

The final battle came to an end with rough and gravel covering the entire field.

In the end, the result was the same as in the original work. Xiao Li was submerged in a sea of ​​sand. What was even worse than the original work was that both his feet and legs were broken by invisible "sand hands".

"plum!"

Kai rushed forward to rescue Lee from the sand and anxiously took him to Konoha Hospital.

Except for a few people in the stands who had worried faces, everyone else had their eyes locked on the referee Tsukiko Hayate and the Third Hokage, waiting for them to announce the arrangements for the next game.

The Third Hokage pushed his fire hat, took a few steps forward and stroked his beard.

"The qualifiers are officially over and I'm very pleased to see you all perform well. At the same time, I'm also very sorry that many outstanding ninjas have been eliminated here. However, this does not mean that you cannot be promoted. We will make a comprehensive evaluation. Your previous exams were of a good standard and I will give you satisfactory results."

After playing the emotional card, the Third Hokage lost his soft expression and said seriously.

"One month from now, you will face the final exam to become a chuunin. Konoha has invited the Sand Shadow, Kirigage and the Fire Country Daimyo to come and watch. There will be countless Fire Country spectators. It’s a heroic act for you to come and admire us.”

The slightly older Sandai looked around, with a hint of pride in his voice.

"You not only represent yourselves, but also represent the glory of your village. The fire where the leaves are flying is also endless! I look forward to your performance!"

After the Third Hokage finished speaking, he stepped aside and the person who had already sorted out the promotion list was Moonlight Hayate, who walked up to where the Hokage was standing just now and held back a cough.

"Two of the total 10 games at the end of the qualifiers were all combatants eliminated."

As he said this, he glanced at Sakura, Ino and the two rain ninjas who looked very weak, and then he continued.

"A total of 8 people have advanced to the main match, which is a one-on-one duel.

"Uzumaki Naruto versus Hyuga Neji's

"Chōjuro vs. Aburame Shino's

"Kankuro versus Shikamaru

"Rinjo Yuri vs. Gaara. The match is officially going to be held in a month. Please prepare well!"

After announcing the promotion list and the main competition arrangements, Moonlight Hayate followed the Hokage and left the venue.

"Yoshi! I met that white-eyed guy in the first scene and I want to make him look good!"

At this time, Naruto was still unsteady and was being supported by Sasuke, but he was still cursing.

"You still need to be able to stand on your own first, then let's talk about it! A guy like you can advance."

Sasuke glanced at Lin Yuri with an annoyed look, feeling quite unwilling. He also wanted to squint at the numb face, but he didn't dare.

"Sasuke! Don't worry, I will be the first! If you can't finish it, the goal will be achieved!"

Naruto patted Sasuke and said carelessly, so angry that Sasuke's face turned green. Otherwise, for the sake of their friendship with Naruto, he would have thrown this guy out long ago and let him feel what it feels like to crawl on the ground. Sasuke, who was thinking this, narrowed his eyes slightly and suddenly smiled and said

"Naruto, let's have a spar now!?"

"Okay! Eight Gate Dunjia"

"Naruto! I'm kidding! We'd better be friends."

Sasuke saw a trace of light blue coming out of Naruto's body, which was chakra, and quickly shouted to stop. He didn't have the ability to hydrate, so he didn't want to be beaten into a pig's head.

It was Naruto who was riding with Sasuke. He chuckled and scratched his head. He wiped his palms with beads of sweat and felt a little unconfident.

"Me too, how could I possibly attack my partner!"

Seeing Sasuke looking at him suspiciously, Naruto quickly raised his voice.

"Kakashi and Sakura called us over there. Let's go over there and join them."

Sasuke turned around and saw that the two of them had fallen some distance away from Kakashi and Sakura. The two people immediately stopped their verbal attack. Sasuke supported Naruto and slowly moved towards his teammates.

"Really, passionate friendship is what it is!"

With his face numb, he stayed where he was and watched the interaction between the two, with a playful expression on his face and a sigh as he sighed.

Misty shadow team

"Damn it, why did you meet that guy! Originally, I could have advanced to the finals!" Shuiyue complained to his partner next to him with his lips curled up.

His strength is not bad, at least he is better than half of the people who entered the main game. However, if someone has Naruto as his backer, there is almost no chance of advancement.

Chojuro listened silently to his complaints and was secretly glad in his heart. Bai walked forward with a gentle smile on his face

"Congratulations to you two for successfully advancing. You can go back and receive the rewards from me.

Bai looked at Shuiyue who had a depressed look on his face.

"Don't be discouraged Suigetsu. If you can fight Naruto to this level, maybe I will let you become a member of the reserve force!"

Shuiyue curled her lips, naturally knowing that she was being suppressed and beaten throughout the whole process, and that it was impossible for the Yao Organization to take a liking to her. After complaining a few times, the four of them left the venue together.

At this time, all the jonins were leaving with their subordinates.

Menma looked at the venue as it gradually became empty, then glanced at the direction in which Sandai left, and thought to himself.

"There is still one month left. I wonder if that grand funeral will satisfy you? The Third Hokage."

As he spoke, his figure gradually disappeared into the darkness.

Miaomu Mountain is the hall of immortals

"The immortal said this time that something important was a prophecy. What did he mean?"

Jiraiya, the tall man with long white hair, looked at the superior Toad Sage with a solemn expression.

Standing under the fairy constellation, the miniature Fukasaku Sage looked at Jiraiya's arrival and said enthusiastically:

"Hey, little Jiraiya, the great elder made a new prophecy before." Fukasaku said solemnly after a pause.

"In the near future, Konoha will be plunged into flames of war, and dead people will return from the underworld wearing false masks. From now on, Konoha will be shrouded in red shadow rule."

"!!!"

Jiraiya asked hurriedly with a surprised look on his face:

"How can we solve the problem of Konoha being a disaster?"

As if he was sleeping, the Great Toad Immortal suddenly murmured with half-closed eyes.

"In the future, little Jiraiya will follow a disciple with special eyes and stand on the opposite side of Konoha. Finally, he will work together with his disciples to bring true peace to the world."

"Great Immortal! Is this disciple, Nagato? Is he the son of prophecy in the future?"

But after the Great Toad Immortal finished speaking, he seemed to have fallen into a real deep sleep. His eyes were completely closed and he did not respond.

Next to Fukasaku, the equally miniscule figure Shima Sennin said solemnly.

"Little Jiraiya's elder said that things should happen soon, so we should prepare quickly."

Thinking about the disciples who had the reincarnation eye in Amegakure Village before, and thinking about Jiraiya from Konoha Village, he made a decision.

"I'm still worried about Konoha. I will go back to Konoha first and then go look for my disciple."

Jiraiya chatted with the two immortals for a few more words and then quickly turned and left.

After Jiraiya left, the two immortals and the giant toad immortal who seemed to be sleeping showed a faint smile.
