My disciple of Konoha is the savior

The third generation's words made Shikamaru and the others feel the weight of this exam. .seven

Very heavy, giving them a depressing feeling.

In the end, they are just fresh graduates after all, and they have to bear something when they take the exam for the first time, so they will naturally be a little nervous.

Of course, only a little bit.

After Naruto listened to Sandai's explanation, he became thoughtful.

In order to share the mission, the ninja village placed bets on the genin. If the ninja in the village can shine in the chunin exam, they can prove the strength of their village in front of clients such as daimyo and dignitaries.

"It's also a diplomatic move."

The third generation continued: "While showing the neighboring countries that the Ninja Village has strong combat power, it can also exert diplomatic and political pressure."

Hearing this, Ya could not help but ask loudly: "Even so, we don't have to risk our lives to fight, right?"

The third generation said coldly: "The strength of the country is the strength of the village, and the strength of the village is the strength of the ninja, and the true strength of the ninja can only be truly displayed in the battle where life is at stake."

Having said this, the expressions of the candidates below suddenly turned serious.

At this time, they finally understood the true meaning of this seemingly simple test for a ninja to be promoted to a ninja.

"Third generation grandfather."

At this moment, Naruto suddenly stood up and asked in a solemn voice: "Didn't you just say that the main purpose of the Chuunin Examination is to promote peaceful coexistence between Ninja Villages and for the sake of friendship? Why... you want us to... To do this?"

The third generation turned his head, looked directly at Naruto, and said slowly: "It is a common practice to achieve a balance of strength between each other through a war of attrition, and it is also the so-called friendship of the ninja world."

As he spoke, his eyes became profound.

"Like I said before, please don't misinterpret the true purpose of this exam, do you understand?"

His words were harsh and serious, without any of his usual friendliness. At this time, he was completely different from the wretched old man who was easily knocked down by the only technique he had mastered to the pinnacle - the technique of seduction.

Naruto's eyes trembled slightly.

It turns out... is this the case, the ninja world... Ninja village... the balance of strength... the battle where the ninja risked their lives...

Is this... the road Brother Xuan Yu walked...

"I understand."

Naruto nodded slightly, then backed away without saying a word, with deep thinking on his face.

And Xuan Yu, who was behind the third generation, saw this scene and nodded secretly in his heart.

To be honest, Naruto's current strength is already very strong. Among the ninja, it is estimated that only Kosuke Maruhoshi, who is of the same era as the third generation, can fight against him, so what he really lacks is not strength, but the consciousness of controlling power Form, and this is what Xuan Yu most needs him to master.

And as long as he continues to experience, understand, and think about it, he will one day become an extremely special existence.

After the third generation's speech was over, and after all the candidates realized the true meaning of this exam, Gaara stood up, and Chiguo showed his eagerness to fight, and asked about the next exam.

However, the third generation did not answer him directly, but turned around and retreated to the back, so that the special Jonin who looked haggard as if he was suffering from kidney deficiency, and also the true protagonist of the second part of the original Naruto-Moonlight Hayate, a character at the beginning of his biography The protagonist who died before appeared on the stage to help him explain the next matter.

Of course, there was no need for him to explain this trivial matter personally. He was still the leader of the village, so of course there would be others who would do it for him.

Seeing the sudden appearance of the man with kidney deficiency, all the candidates were suddenly surprised.

This sick guy is the examiner?How come he doesn't even look like a ninja.

Is he really okay?You're not here to touch porcelain, are you?

Amidst the different thoughts of the examinees, Moonlight Gale completed the explanation.

To put it simply, because too many people passed the second exam, the arrangement for the third exam must be as compact as possible without procrastination, and the time must be shortened. Therefore, pre-selection is now required to further reduce the number of people.

Everyone must compete one-on-one according to the name displayed on the display board.

After the explanation, Pharmacist Dou directly gave up the preliminary selection on the grounds that he suffered a serious injury that could not be recovered in the second exam.

In this regard, except for his companion, the others did not react, but held their breath and stared at the display board above.

After a while, two names appeared on the display board——

宇智波佐助vs赤胴铠。<spanstyle=“font-size:20px;margin-top:-20px;width:0;height:0;display:block;color:transparent;transform:scale(0,0)skew(0,0);“>谷</span>

Seeing his name, Sasuke immediately clenched his fists tightly. Although he is a character he has never heard of, since the other party can pass the second test, he should not be a simple guy.

"Am I the first one?"

With his hands in his pockets and cold eyes, he walked forward with a ruthless face.

However, he did not look at the opponent in front of him, a man who wore sunglasses and covered most of his face with a black cloth. He was also a head and a half taller than him. Instead, he slightly turned his eyes and looked to the side. Uesugi Genha and Uchiha Izumi.

His eyes moved slowly.

This time... I must prove my ability in front of them, and I am absolutely no worse than anyone else!

When thinking about this, Sasuke's already handsome face was full of seriousness, and the sharp aura made the examinees beside him all stare sideways, and Ino became even more nympho.

"So... so handsome! Come on Sasuke-kun!"

She waved to Sasuke regardless, but Sasuke seemed not to hear and ignored her.

Instead, Naruto waved at him and said softly: "We must win this battle as soon as possible, Sasuke."

"Ah, I know."

Sasuke looked at Naruto, and the moment his eyes crossed, a confident smile appeared on his face.

"I won't let anyone down."

"Hmph, you're a brat who doesn't know the heights of heaven and earth."

The naked armor who was completely ignored by him snorted coldly, "How dare you completely ignore my existence, I will make you regret your arrogance later."

Sasuke continued to ignore it.

The triangular eyes under the red armor sunglasses suddenly burst into anger, and he secretly made up his mind to kill this brat with a stinky face no matter what.

It's hard for anyone to speak!

"Tsk tsk..."

Xuanyu saw that Ino was still cheering for Sasuke, working so hard even before he started fighting, and couldn't help but joked:

"He is such a jealous guy. Those who are stronger than him are not as handsome as him, and those who are more handsome than him are not as strong as him. He can attract little fans without doing anything deliberately. No matter what the result of the game is, he has already won in terms of momentum. , let’s just stop calling him Uchiha from now on, and just call him Rukawa Sasuke.”

That's what he said, but Xuan Yu's face only had a teasing look on his face.

Quan glanced at him.

"Really, I think you are much more handsome than him when you were his age."

"You are prejudiced."

"certainly not."

When the two were chatting as usual, Hayate walked between Sasuke and the red armor holding the recording board.

"Alright, the first round of the battle is ready to begin."

He said this, and then said to other people on the side:

"Except for the contestants, please go up to watch the battle."

So a group of jounin and candidates walked towards the stairs not far away, ready to observe the situation of the opponent who is likely to become their official promotion soon.

Observing potential enemies and collecting intelligence as much as possible is the basic quality of a ninja.

Naruto walked to Xuan Yu's side, and after saying hello, he followed behind his ass.

When passing by Sasuke, Xuan Yu noticed his tightly clenched fists from the corner of his eye, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly, and then said quite meaningfully:

"Come on, Sasuke, I'm looking forward to your performance as a fellow Uchiha clan member like Izumi."

Hearing this, a strange light flashed in Sasuke's eyes.

At the same time, the red armor inexplicably felt a bit of coldness.
