Konoha: This Sasuke has Tivat

Chapter 134 The Chunin Exam Begins

The venue for the Chunin Exam finals is located on the edge of the village's residential area. It is a large circular venue. The outer circle is the audience seat, and the center of the inner circle is the fighting venue for the contestants. The overall layout is a bit like a fighting beast. Usually some relatively large-scale performances will be held here.

It wasn't too early for Sasuke to come. After returning from Tevat, he took a short rest and went to Naruto's home. After finding that he was not at home, he came to the examination room alone.

Although his current strength is unlikely to overturn in the Chunin exam, he always likes to be fully prepared.

There are already many spectators sitting in the auditorium, and most of the players and referees are also here.

Every chunin exam is a feast. Not only ninjas, but also residents living in Konoha Village will come to visit if they have time. Various spinach odds have even arisen due to this.

"Hey, Sasuke, long time no see, you came so early."

Just as Sasuke was casually scanning the playing field, a lazy voice greeted him.

Looking up, it was Nara Shikamaru.

A nod is the answer.

Shikamaru has long been used to Sasuke's arrogance, walked to his side, and continued on his own:

"The game is about to start, why do you feel that there are so many people missing?"

Sasuke looked around and found that there were indeed a few people missing.

Especially without one very noisy guy.

What about Naruto?Why haven't you come? I didn't go to his house just now. I thought he had come to the examination room. Why didn't I see anyone?

In the past few days, he and Jilai also practiced alone. Could it be that because of his absence, Kyuubi found a chance to go berserk?No, I haven't heard any similar news in the past few days.

"Has Naruto not come?"

Sasuke asked.

Shikamaru folded his arms, spreading them on the back of his head.

"Who knows, when he was in the hospital yesterday, he was clamoring for Zilaiye to continue to guide him in ninjutsu practice."

Hearing Shikamaru's words, Sasuke frowned slightly.

"Hospital? Why is Naruto in the hospital, injured? What's going on?"

Is it really because of Kyuubi?

"It's not an injury. It seems to be due to lack of strength. I don't know very well. I went to the hospital because Choji ate too much barbecue and broke his stomach. When I went to visit him, I found out that Naruto was also in the hospital. .”

"That idiot probably didn't oversleep in the hospital and even forgot to participate in the finals."

Said Shikamaru sighed.

This made Sasuke breathe a sigh of relief, not because of Kyuubi.

It turned out to be in the hospital, no wonder no one was home.

Just at this moment, an orange-red figure galloped from the entrance of the venue in a panic. Because he was running too fast and flustered, his left foot tripped over his right foot while running, and he fell and slid to the ground. In front of everyone participating in the competition.

What kind of debut is this...

Looking at Naruto who fell on the ground and fainted, Sasuke felt a little ashamed inexplicably, and kicked his pouting butt lightly.

"Hey, Cranetail, get up and stop making a fool of yourself."

"Ah, it's Sasuke."

Naruto, who had regained his strength, got up from the ground, gave Sasuke a smirk, and then remembered something, and started yelling loudly that everyone ran, a herd of cows was chasing him outside.

"..."

Sensing the strange gazes from all around and the audience, Sasuke regretted coming up to talk to this idiot, he should pretend not to know this guy...

I have the urge to cover my face so as not to be recognized by others.

"Okay, you two, stop whispering and whispering, stand upright and face the audience, don't lose Konoha Ninja's aura."

At this time, a referee who was holding Qianbon like a toothpick came to them and reminded them.

"The game is about to begin."

"You are the protagonists of this competition."

protagonist?

Naruto was stunned for a moment, and then he noticed that every corner of the venue was already filled with Konoha spectators, and the voices were buzzing.

He has never been more visible than at this moment.Listening to the roaring cheers and applause from all around, as well as the sound of cheering with the names of participating ninjas, extremely complicated emotions emerged in my heart.

A little uneasy, a little uneasy, a little scared, but mostly excited.

For the first time, he was able to show himself in front of so many people and prove his worth!
"Hello, Sasuke."

Naruto said suddenly.

"Ok?"

"Thank you."

"..."

"If you want to thank me, then show it with actions."

"Don't worry, I have learned another incredible ninjutsu from the lustful fairy these few days, hehe."

With Naruto's arrival, all the finalists were already in place - except Toss.

He was instigated by the pharmacist to provoke Gaara in advance, and then he went straight.

"Well then, let's get started."

The Third Hokage in the middle of the stand glanced at the contestants, and there were exactly 8 contestants, and all the survivors had arrived.

He took a deep breath, stood up, came to the edge of the stands and announced loudly:
"Dear guests, I would like to express my sincere gratitude for coming to Konoha to watch the Chunin Selection Examination!"

"Next, let the 8 candidates who passed the pre-selection participate in the formal selection competition."

"Please watch it to your heart's content!"

With the end of the third Hokage's announcement, Shiranui Genma, who has been holding Senbo in his mouth, also showed the new battle table to the ninjas participating in the finals.

"Because some players were unable to participate in the finals, the teams for the battle were slightly changed."

"Please confirm your opponent again."

Nara Shikamaru stared at the new battle table. The opponents of the other players were basically the same as the draw after the second extra game. Only myself, who originally needed to play one more round, was able to do so because of the abstention of his opponent Toss. Play one less round.

"Listen well, you guys, although the venue is different, it's the same as in the preliminary selection, the rules are no rules."

"The winner will not be determined until one party dies or admits defeat."

"However, if I think the game is over, I will stop the game and stop the senseless killing and death."

"Don't resist, do you understand?"

"Then the first round will begin, Naruto Uzumaki will face Neiji Hinata."

"These two people will stay, and the rest will go back to the lounge to wait for now."

The ninja school's top performer faced off against the talented newcomer from the Hyuga branch. The game seemed to have no suspense from the beginning.

Although Naruto is very famous in Konoha Village, it is not because of his strength, but more because of Kyuubi.

"I didn't expect this kid to stay until now."

"But if he stays by luck, he should stop here."

"There's no suspense in this one. I'm living on the subsistence allowances. Let's fill up Hinata Neji."

"Ah? Isn't that right, Boss...do you want to drink this kind of stinky water?"

"Why not make money when you're sure to make money?"

"But Boss, almost everyone pulls Naruto twice, and no one pulls Naruto. The rate is frighteningly high. Why don't we steal it... just in case..."

"Idiot, if you are asked to pull it, you can pull it, Laming, do you think there is too much money and no place to spend it? Unless Hinata Ningci is playing a fake match, otherwise you can hear the sound of throwing this money in the water, Laming People don’t just deliver food to others, do it quickly, don’t force me to slap you.”

"Oh, oh, okay, I'm going to..."

There wasn't a particularly heated discussion in the audience about the match, as most people didn't think Naruto Uzumaki, who was learning the tail of a crane at the ninja school, would win.

Many people haven't seen the previous battle between him and Kiba, and their impression of him is still at the end of the crane in the ninja school, so it is more about discussing how wonderful the performance of Sasuke Uchiha and Gaara will be later.

Only a few keen ninjas noticed that this chuunin exam was unusual.

There were actually ANBU ninjas also watching the battle.

Did something happen?
