Chapter 54: The true meaning of the Chunin Exam
"I see, what would you do if we opened the scroll midway, Iruka-sensei" Sasuke asked.
Iruka picked up the scroll on the ground and said: "Sasuke, you are still as sharp as ever. You are right. The rules of this exam are to test your ability to actually complete the task. That is to say, if you Someone violated the rules and opened the scroll midway. According to the order, the candidates who saw the contents will lose their will on the spot until the second exam is over."
After hearing this, Sasuke exhaled and said: "Fortunately Shikamaru stopped Naruto, otherwise Naruto, tell me if you can withstand the technique sealed in the scroll."
After hearing this, Naruto suddenly broke into a cold sweat and said: "Shikamaru, you're dead, that's not right. Thank you very much, otherwise I would be miserable."
When Sakura heard Naruto's words, she suddenly had a black line and said: "You just wanted to say that Shikamaru died miserably, huh, Shikamaru stopped you from opening the scroll, and you actually cursed him to death."
Naruto was startled, turned his head stiffly and looked at Sakura and said: "It's nothing, I just let it slip, bah, I said it smoothly."
Iruka stopped talking after explaining. It wasn't until they made a fuss that he said: "Okay, since you have passed, just wait for the third exam, and Senju Ryo will join you in the third exam." ”
On the other side, after Anko reported the information about Orochimaru, Sandai smoked cigarette smoke and said: "He appears here because of Sasuke, right?"
Anko looked at the third generation in shock, as if she wanted to ask him why he knew, but in the surveillance camera, the invigilator responsible for registration reported: "Anko-sama, twenty-one people are confirmed to have passed the second exam. According to the Chunin It is stipulated that the third exam will use test questions that have not been used in five years, so the second exam is over."
After listening to the report, Sandai and Anko looked at Anko who was still shocked and said: "In short, the exam must continue, and then carefully observe the guy's actions."
"It's the Third Generation," Anko responded subconsciously.
However, Wu Liang, who had been practicing in the training ground for five days, was found by Kakashi while practicing.
Looking at Wu Liang who was still training hard despite being so strong, Kakashi said: "It's time to gather Wu Liang. The second chunin exam has ended."
Wu Liang stopped swinging his sword, looked at Kakashi, and said, "That's it, let's go there together. By the way, something interesting will happen in the meantime."
"Ah, yes, let me think about it." Kakashi scratched his chin and said, "What's more interesting is that this year our Konoha candidates were able to get together, and they were a group that crushed them all the way to the central tower. Does this count? "
Wu Liang heard this and said with a strange expression: "That means they formed an illegal team."
Kakashi was a little embarrassed when he heard what Wu Liang said: "It's not considered an illegal team. Meeting ninjas from the same village in a competition is like meeting ninjas from other classes with the same mission target during a mission. That's for sure. It’s a sincere cooperation, how can it be considered an illegal team formation? Besides, it’s just luck to get together, isn’t it?”
"Kakashi, your explanation is a bit far-fetched."
"Well, don't worry about these details. Let's go. It's time to announce the third exam, and you need to be there too." After Kakashi said that, he walked to the 44th training ground, and Wu Liang also put away his sword and followed Fucked Kakashi.
When they arrived at the gathering place, Kakashi walked to the team leading the Jonin, and Wu Liang also intuitively walked to the team of candidates. In the huge hall, there were two waves of people standing on the podium, one wave passed each other. The jounin who was leading the exam team, and the exam team led by Anko on the other side, and the third generation stood behind them, obviously it was not his time to appear yet.
Walking to Team Naruto and looking at Sasuke's curse seal, Wu Liang said: "How, what do you think after meeting him?"
Sasuke touched the curse mark on his neck and said: "He is very strong and is very suitable to be my guide, but as you said, that guy is really disgusting."
When Wu Liang wanted to say something, Hongdou, who was standing on the high platform, clapped her hands, attracted everyone's attention to her, and said: "Okay, first of all, congratulations to everyone for passing the second exam. I said it before, At least half of them must be eliminated in this round. Although this goal has been achieved, I am still a little disappointed. I originally wanted to control the number of people to single digits, but you are lucky, there are still twenty-one, twenty-six There are seven teams left in the team, but it doesn’t matter, as long as the goal is achieved. I believe you have learned a lot in this exam and have become more qualified. So, now let’s invite the Third Hokage to announce the third exam. Bar."
After Anko finished speaking, the Third Hokage walked up to the front desk, looked at the students in the audience, and sighed in his heart: "I didn't expect there are so many left, and most of them are newcomers. No wonder Kakashi and the others are fighting for it." I recommend it.”
The third generation stood on the high platform, cleared his throat, and said: "The third exam will begin next. Before introducing it, I must tell you something, which is the real purpose of this exam.
Why do we need to unite the Allies to take the exam? It is for the friendly coexistence between the Allies and to improve the level of ninjas. This is the real meaning.
And if you misunderstand it, you will be in trouble. The next exam can be said to be a microcosm of the battle between the Allies. "
Sandai looked at the confused people in the audience, took a puff of cigarette and continued: "Historically speaking, the current Allies are neighboring countries that have been constantly at war. In order to avoid losing both sides, each country specially selected this battle site. This is China The origin of the Shinobu Selection Examination.”
After listening to the third generation's words, Naruto said anxiously: "Why must it be like this? Isn't this just for the purpose of selecting chuunin?"
The Sandaime heard what Naruto said and nodded in agreement: "Indeed, it cannot be denied that this exam also has the mission of selecting ninjas who have the ability to become chuunin, but on the other hand, it is also a battle for the life of ninjas who bear the prestige of the country. In this third exam, there will be many princes and famous figures from various countries who have entrusted us with the task. Then the princes and shadows will watch your battle. If the strength is very different, the powerful country will receive more If we entrust more, on the other hand, weak countries will entrust less. At the same time, we will also declare to neighboring countries that this is the combat power we have, which means it will put pressure on diplomacy."
At this time, Inuzuka Kiba also stood up and said angrily: "If this is the case, why do we have to fight to the death?"
The Third Hokage took a deep look at him and said: "The strength of the country is the strength of the village, which is also the strength of the ninja, and the true strength of the ninja can only be displayed in a desperate battle. This test is to It is a stage where one's country's ninja strength is seen or shown to others. It is meaningful precisely because it is a test that risks one's life. That is why our ancestors also took the Chunin Exam with dreams in mind."
After hearing this, someone else said: "Then why are you claiming to be friendly?"
The Third Hokage looked at the questioner and said: "I have said it from the beginning. Don't misunderstand me. You think that maintaining balance through killing is the so-called friendship. This is also a life-and-death battle for dreams and prestige. "
But the red panda didn't take it seriously and said: "Compared with this, let's talk about the content of this life-threatening exam."
Hearing this, the third generation nodded and said: "I just wanted to explain, then I will introduce to you the content of the third test."
However, before the third generation could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a ninja who was kneeling in front of him and said: "I'm very sorry, the third generation Hokage, but the content of the next test should be left to the referee of the third test. I, Moonlight Hayate, will explain."
The third generation was not annoyed when he was interrupted by Moonlight Gale. He just nodded and said: "Then, I'll leave it to you."
After receiving the approval of the Third Hokage, Moonlight Hayate, who was still half-kneeling, stood up and coughed: "Hello, everyone, before the third exam begins, there is something that everyone needs to complete."
At the end of his speech, Moonlight Hayate suddenly covered his mouth and kept coughing. Finally he stopped coughing, then looked at everyone and said, "That is related to whether you can participate in the preliminaries for the third exam."
However, in response to Moonlight Hayate's words, some people retorted: "Why do we need to pre-select? If everyone who is doing it is not qualified to take the final exam, then the second exam is just a fart?"
Moonlight Hayate, however, had no expression on his face and took over the conversation: "Yes, the first and second exams are too easy, so there are a lot of candidates left, so a preliminary round must be held to determine the candidates, and, just The Third Hokage just said that there will be many dignitaries and Kage from allied countries visiting this last show. If there are too many people, it will be too delayed, and the time will be delayed for a long time. So, is there anyone who is not feeling well and cannot attend? , or give up voluntarily, that would be the best. After all, the preliminaries are about to begin."
"Damn it, it took a lot of effort to get here, who would be willing to give up? If you are in poor health, teacher, you are the worst," one candidate said sarcastically.
Anko looked at Sasuke and said to the Third Hokage: "Sir, that child is the one Orochimaru values. He should be asked to give up the exam immediately and then be protected by the ANBU."
However, before Anko finished speaking, Kakashi interrupted: "He shouldn't be so honest and obedient, after all, he is a member of the Uchiha clan and will not listen to advice."
However, Hongdou said angrily: "Even if we use force, we must prevent him from participating. Even if the curse seal seals his chakra, it will react and force his power out."
Anko unconsciously held down her curse seal and said: "That is a forbidden technique that will corrode the body of the recipient. It is incredible that he can survive. Most people would have died long ago. Hokage-sama must protect him."
However, Wu Liang could actually hear the conversation above. After all, his mental power was too strong. When he heard them discussing Sasuke's curse seal, Wu Liang also glanced at Sasuke and said, "The group of people above are discussing you. Regarding the curse seal issue, they don’t want you to have a problem and want you to withdraw from the game. How do you feel now?”
