Chapter 257 The end of the preliminaries
"strength?"

Naruto opened his mouth wide and looked blankly at the demon fox as high as a mountain. When he realized what he was doing, his expression was a bit complicated. It turned out that the villagers said that he was a nine-tailed demon fox for a reason.

"That's right, power." Nine Tails stood up on the ground, making the yellow beast eyes look even bigger. "Once life is too strong, it will arouse the fear of the weak. The suffering you have suffered since childhood is all due to this, but This is not your fault, on the contrary, this should be something you can be proud of, and I can lend you strength."

At this time, the Kyuubi actually showed a hint of gentleness. It was trying its best to remain patient. Uzumaki Naruto's mind was not yet mature. If it could be successfully deceived, freedom would be just around the corner. However, the opportunity might only be once, so it must be cautious.

Naruto remained silent, and after a while he said, "I don't need it, Okra isn't that kind of a bad person."

Kyuubi sneered. The smell of blood on the Senju clan's body would even surprise him when he smelled it. Killing at least tens of thousands of creatures would leave such a level of mental traces. Ordinary bad guys can't describe it at all. .

"Indeed, but do you think the person appearing in front of you now must be Senju Okra? His aura at this time is completely different from when he invited you to eat barbecue." Kyuubi said.

Naruto's pupils contracted violently upon hearing this.

"Senju Okra has been controlled. The mastermind behind the scenes has been chasing you since half a day ago. That kid is just a chess piece to test you. I can save him, but the prerequisite is to subdue him, and you have to Give me reward." Kyuubi's tone was arrogant, as if he was willing to help out of pity.

"What reward?" Naruto looked nervous. If the situation was really so critical, he couldn't turn a blind eye.

"Remove the seal on the fence."

A long silence came, and Naruto instinctively felt that something bad would happen if the seal was opened. Although he was only 12 years old, he already had basic judgment, and it was sealed. What kind of good thing could the other party be?

"It's up to you. I've already explained that being too powerful will cause fear in the weak. I'm not wrong. As for the safety of Senju Okra and the lives of those two people when he goes crazy, it doesn't matter if he gives up." Kyuubi bowed down again. Even if it failed this time, the seal would not last for a few years.

Naruto struggled for a long time, and finally walked towards the fence. The water surged up and lifted his body close to the sealing paper. As his arm was raised, the water surface of the entire prison began to vibrate and ripple, but at the same time, the darkness was gradually fading away.

Suddenly, a hand clasped Naruto's wrist, and someone appeared in this mental prison.

"I told you, it'll be fine if you don't struggle. You don't need to lift the table." Jiang Yuan said calmly. It was still very difficult for him to deal with the nine tails in the unsealed state. The Flying Thunder God's Technique could only ensure that he didn't. Worrying about one's life, Mu Dun still lacks the absolute power of Senju Hashirama.

A violent roar sounded, and the nine-tailed fox tail stirred wildly. This guy's sudden arrival did not even allow the fourth generation to test out the backhand, the damn Senju clan!
"Qiu...Okra, why are you here?"

The water flow collapsed and Naruto landed. The roar of the nine tails was not very intimidating to him as the host.

Jiang Yuan did not answer, but directly left the Flying Thunder God's mark on the fence, then turned and left. The body has a semi-spiritual nature. He can enter here by touching the body of Uzumaki Naruto. If he has the pupil that represents the spiritual power of escape, Technique, the process will be simpler.

Outside, Jiang Yuan took his hand away from Naruto's shoulder. A piece of flesh and blood the size of a fingernail had been collected. Haruno Sakura held his calf with both hands to prevent the enemy from continuing to hurt his companions.

"Stop it now!"

Jiang Yuan kicked him away. Haruno Sakura didn't have the ability to explode, which meant it was less dangerous, but he didn't like physical contact, so he used a little more force.

The cherry-haired girl passed out after breaking a dozen large trees.

Sasuke was awakened by the huge movement. Before he could distinguish illusion from reality, a sharp pain swept through his body. Someone held his head from behind, and the little snake obtained from Orochimaru left a curse on his shoulder. print.

The appearance of the curse seal is similar to the three magatama. According to Orochimaru's theory, the curse seal it displays is also a kind of sage mode, but it cannot absorb natural energy by its own will and is difficult to control.

The mission objectives were both completed. Before Naruto's consciousness returned to the outside world, Jiang Yuan put down a volume of the Book of Earth and left. So far, the seal imposed by the Fourth Hokage obviously showed signs of deterioration. Considering the leakage of chakra from the Nine Tails, even if With no one to care about it, Class [-] has a high probability of reaching the end of the Chuunin Exam.

The area of ​​the Death Forest is quite vast. The central tower is a majestic and tall building with multiple large venues inside. It was originally used as a training ground for ANBU. After collecting the Book of Heaven and the Book of Earth, those who successfully arrive will pass.

At the end of the second exam, the Chuunin will greet the candidates and assume the role of herald.

By the end of the five-day field survival, a total of 21 people successfully arrived with two scrolls. At this point, the group cooperation ended. The third exam was a preliminary round, which required each candidate to fight alone.

The examiner is Shiranui Genma, a very young special jonin who used to be the personal guard of the Fourth Hokage. However, after Hiruzen Sarutobi was forced to end his retirement and return to the position of Hokage, the situation he and his two other colleagues were in Rather embarrassing.

After the candidates entered the central tower, supplies such as food pills, herbal soups, and mountain spring water were all provided in unlimited quantities to help them recover from injuries and physical fitness as quickly as possible. Half a day later, the preliminaries began. Under the manipulation of the Darkness of the Ninja World, someone got a bye. According to the competition mechanism, the ANBU reported the news to the superiors. The Third Hokage chose to acquiesce. It was a fairer choice to let Senju Okra advance directly. As for the one-tail jinchūriki who suppressed Sunagakure Village, it naturally meant that the villagers were watching. The official competition and the qualifiers are not open to the public due to venue reasons and cannot have the effect of promoting the strength of the village.

In the first game, Uchiha Sasuke fought against Akane Kai. The latter wore glasses and a mask, making it impossible to judge his appearance.Although he appears to be a former student of Konoha, his true identity is a spy from the Sound Ninja Village, and he is nominally the superior of Kabuto Yakushi. He became dissatisfied with Kabuto after he gradually rose to prominence.

This person's special ability is the Chakra Absorption Technique. By contacting others with his own hands, he can automatically absorb the other person's energy and make the opponent unconscious.Although he had the upper hand in the battle with Sasuke, he was defeated by Sasuke using the taijutsu lion combo created during the battle.

The second game was Sac vs. Aburame Shino, and just at the beginning of the game, someone came to the aid room.

In the rescue room, several elite medical ninjas trained by Tsunade during the war were performing surgery on Akatsuki Kai. The lion's bullets severely damaged his internal organs. If not treated in time, there was a high probability of death.

"Outsiders, stop." The medical ninja who was standing next to the operating table and in charge of the command shouted.

"I'm going to take him away." Jiang Yuan said coldly. He valued the chakra absorption technique very much. This was related to whether he could develop a wood release ninjutsu similar to the first Hokage's wood dragon technique. If he wanted to restrain the tailed beast, this kind of Technology is indispensable.

"Three principles of medical ninja: First, medical ninja must not give up treatment before the patient dies. No one can take him away at this time, not even Lord Hokage. This is Lord Tsunade's teaching." The medical ninja looked firm. say.Jiang Yuan raised his arm, and the movement was so fast that afterimages appeared. A kunai was thrown out and penetrated straight through the center of Akakaya's eyebrows. Blood was mixed with white gel and spattered. Several doctors were holding scalpels. He froze in place, not even sure if he was hallucinating for a moment.

"He's dead now."

Medical Ninja: "..."

bold! !
"Come on people!"

The first time he reacted, the medical ninja roared. The other party was so lawless that he broke into the ward and killed the patients who were being rescued. This kind of thing he had never dared to think about before, but now it actually happened before his eyes.

Jiang Yuan ignored the shouts that gradually spread, and directly unfolded the seal scroll, and then dragged away Akane Kai's body for storage. Tsunade was not in Konoha, and the Hokage and Danzo still needed him to do things. There was no problem in doing it on his own. If something happened, something happened. The situation is definitely not because of killing a genin whose identity is doubtful, but because he himself has lost his use value, or the external situation has suddenly changed and caused ripples.

The medical ninja watched dumbly as the madman turned around and walked out of the rescue room with the scroll. This guy didn't even have the intention of escaping. He headed straight towards the training ground. It seemed that he wanted to observe the preliminaries of the Chunin Exam.

This incident of a heinous nature was quickly reported to the public. The second qualifying match was now over. Jiang Yuan stood in the viewing gallery, surrounded by the teaching jounin, Kakashi Hatake, Metkai, and Sarutobi. Asuma and others were among them.

A black shadow flashed, and two jounin wearing sleeveless armor arrived at the scene. Both ANBU and NENBU sent personnel to inquire.

"Danzo-sama asked you the reason." Nebe Jonin relayed that this matter is not big or small. Before the news spreads, if there are senior officials willing to suppress it, it will not cause too much trouble.

"Looking at his displeasure, I think Uchiha Sasuke has the potential to become a pillar." Jiang Yuan replied expressionlessly.

The root ninja nodded, and then disappeared. He knew that this answer was acceptable to Danzo-sama. As long as Senju Okra was still willing to communicate, it meant that he had not lost control.

"Hokage-sama warns you, don't break into the rescue room without permission next time. If you cause a medical accident like this time, someone will hold you accountable. In addition, Hokage-sama ordered me to tell you: Be careful with your opponent in the official match. If you lose, , maybe it’s too late to treat.” The ANBU Jonin left after saying that. The Hokage-sama’s hint was already obvious. Once the matter is taken care of, he can turn a blind eye to this kind of situation. On the contrary, it is self-evident. Under normal circumstances, Gaara is of the same age. There are indeed few opponents among people, and it is even more difficult to win against this jinchuriki.

The arrival of the two people attracted some attention. Jiang Yuan opened the small black wine gourd hanging on his waist. This thing is not much different from a thermos cup. At most, it looks better in appearance. It is produced in the country of water. Since the new water After Ying took office, related trade volume increased year by year.

"What's going on?" Yamato came over and asked. He was the teaching jounin of Class No. 11. He originally thought he would be able to see his subordinates fighting, but who knew he would actually get a bye.

"It's just a medical accident." Jiang Yuan took a sip of Jingguo wine and replied. This was also a test. Because of the Chunin exam, Konoha has not discovered Sasuke's condition yet, and that was enough.

Kankuro won the third game. In the fourth game, Yamanaka Ino and Haruno Sakura were both eliminated. Then Temari and Nara Shikamaru also won. Although there were not many people participating in Sunagakure Village, they were popular among the younger generation. The competitiveness is obviously pretty good.

As for Naruto, he performed better and defeated Inuzuka Kiba in the sixth game. Then came the battle between the Hyuga clan and the branch disciples. Hyuga Neji easily defeated Hinata. Both parties were at the level of soft fist. Not on the same level at all.

The most eye-catching one was the battle between Gaara and Rock Lee. The latter showed strength far beyond that of ordinary chunin, but was still defeated by Gaara, who freely controlled sand.

In the end, Metkai took action to save Locke Lee, who was about to die. Jiang Yuan stopped paying attention to the qualifiers after watching the body movements of this strong physical athlete. This guy is one of the reasons why he is still barely acting within the rules. First, the Eight-door Dunjia that has been cultivated to its peak is extremely terrifying. The Death Door, which can only be opened once, allows Metkai to use his mortal body to fight against the Sixth Path. When the opponent can distort space, it is doubtful whether the Flying Thunder God can activate it normally. He I don’t want to try it yet, after all, it is very likely that my world trip will end early.

At the end of the preliminaries, Sarutobi Hiruzen personally came forward to determine the results of the competition. There were many important seeds in this Chunin Exam, including the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki, the direct descendants of the Konoha clan, and the Uchiha clan, which can be said to be the only remaining clan. With his ethnic origin, coupled with the extensive cooperation with neighboring countries in the new era, he believed that it deserved his grand treatment.

"...The official competition will be held in the newly built competition venue in one month. I hope you can all go all out..."

Jiang Yuan rejected the subsequent Will of Fire pollution. On the day of the official competition, Orochimaru will completely complete various arrangements and then launch an attack on Konoha. At that time, it will be his chance to seize Shukaku. Before that, He had to go to Longdi Cave first to see if he could gain the power of immortal magic, and at the same time stay away from some disturbances that he had not covered up.

……

Konoha Hospital.

Kakashi was leaning against the window, holding "Intimate Heaven" written by Jiraiya-sama in his hand, but rarely devoted himself to it. Sasuke woke up faintly in the hospital bed, the pain in his shoulder was still clear, but it had reduced to normal. within the acceptable range.

"The evil-sealing seal will temporarily control the influence of the curse seal on you, but the premise is that you don't take the initiative to ask for the power of the curse seal. At present, there is no good way to completely eliminate it. In view of Hongdou's situation, if nothing unexpected happens, this The curse seal comes from a terrifying guy. You should pay attention to it at ordinary times and report to me immediately if there are any special circumstances." Kakashi said seriously. In his time, almost no one knew about Orochimaru. For a while, everyone thought that the other party would Inherit the position of Hokage.

"Is he strong?" Sasuke asked after a moment of silence.

"Strong." Kakashi replied.

"Compared with Senju Okra." Sasuke asked again.

Kakashi was stunned for a moment. Although Flying Thunder God had great tactical advantages, he was still far behind the Sannin who had been famous for decades. He had not directly observed the fight between the two sides, so he could not accurately judge.

"What happened in the Forest of Death?"

"Being defeated by the opponent." Sasuke didn't want to mention that experience. He was considering the possibility of getting power from Senju Oki.

Kakashi's face darkened. Isn't this nonsense? Otherwise, how did the curse seal come about? What he wanted to know was the specific process. Judging from the results, Senju Okra was probably used secretly, and of course it was possible that he colluded with Orochimaru. , If Sasuke hadn't been trying to be brave and fainted before exposing the curse seal, this matter should have been reported to the Hokage.

"Sasuke, this isn't just about you."
