Shadow of the Wood

Chapter 240 Competition

Hai Laozang's eyelids drooped, as if he had already fallen asleep, but even though he lamented for a long time that his energy would be weak after old age, he would not fall asleep in this kind of situation.

He watched Li Luoke in the arena displaying fluent body skills, pushing his opponent into a desperate situation step by step, and he felt somewhat uncomfortable.

Last year, in the second exam of the Zhongnin Exam, Shikamaru teamed up with several ninjas to kill the ninja Kawakawa Qiwan of Onnin Village. With other ninja villages as accomplices, they made preparations early, causing heavy losses to the Shayin Village who came to invade, and the casualties were much greater than in the original book.

Losing four generations of Kazekage and suffering major setbacks, Sand Hidden Village almost fell into the worst slump in history. This also forced Chiyo and Ebino, two old ninjas who had long since retired, to make a high-profile comeback as the elder and agent Kazekage. Pave the way for the next Kazekage Gaara.

However, compared with Sand Hidden Village, which is in a downturn as a whole, Muye Village, which has also experienced the death of a generation of Hokage and wars with other countries, is full of vitality. Just from this session of Chunin exams, we can see the strength of Muye Village. Strength, within a few years, this batch of talented teenagers will be able to fully grow.

By the way, there is that even more terrifying genius.Ebizo thought of Shikamaru who defeated Gaara.

The results of the ninja school, killing Momoji no more, the performance of the zhongnin exam, defeating Hinduriki of Sand Hidden Village, the strongest boy Gaara, becoming a zhongnin after one year of ninja age, and becoming a jounin after two years...

Shikamaru's various achievements have fully demonstrated that he is a well-deserved leader of Konoha Village's generation. He has talents and strengths that are difficult for others to match. , Jiraiya and Orochimaru are valued by many Konoha ninjas.

Gaara, who is a one-tailed Jinchuriki, is undoubtedly the first genius of Sand Hidden Village, but he was defeated by Shikamaru. It can also be said that Sand Hidden Village is ahead of Kiri Hidden Village, and separated from Konoha Village in terms of future potential This made Hai Laozang and other high-level officials of Shayin Village feel uneasy.

Even as allies who support and help each other, it is necessary to distinguish between primary and secondary. The alliance between the country of wind and the country of fire, the alliance between sand hidden village and Konoha village is undoubtedly dominated by Konoha, and sand hidden village is of course not Will willingly.

The country of water was founded, and Wuyin Village faced the ninja world with a positive attitude. This kind of news is not something that Konoha or a certain party can hide. What's more, the strength of Sand Village is not inferior to Konoha. Messages may not be received.

Sand Hidden Village does not want Wuyin Village to form an alliance with Yunyin Village to invade Muye Village. Sand Hidden Village, which is undergoing education and other reforms, does not want a war in the ninja world-at least not now, it will not benefit them at all , but it can be used to coerce Muye Village to give him more benefits and benefits as an ally, but it is undoubtedly what Shaying Village is happy to see.

Not to mention what Ebizo is thinking, but Tsunade has already put most of his attention on the arena. The excellent strength of Konoha Village Shinobi is revealed little by little on this stage, which undoubtedly makes her, the leader of Konoha Village, feel unspeakably excited .

They are the future of Konoha!Tsunade pursed his vermilion lips and thought, fortunately, the three most outstanding Shinobi Konoha, Ningji, Li Luoke, and Yume Shino, did not meet at the beginning of the game, and had more opportunities to show off after the game. There will not be much criticism for being promoted to Chunin.

…………

The competition is going on very quickly, and the venue for the confrontation is not big, not to mention setting traps, unless Shikamaru has the "shadow imitation technique", a ninjutsu that can use the location to reverse the situation in an instant, otherwise head-to-head encounters cannot be avoided at all. situation.

It is undeniable that combat ability is one of the most important parts of a ninja's quality, and today's competition format is mainly for candidates to demonstrate this.

What's more, Shikamaru thinks that if he can pass the first round of the written test of his chief examiner, these junin already have the qualifications to become chunin in terms of mind, and then they just need to show their strength.

Ri Xiangningji, Rock Lee and Shino Yume quickly defeated their opponents and successfully advanced to the next stage. Yamanaka Ino, as the three most popular ninjas in this exam, their battle did not have too many accidents at all. Except for Rock Lee and Inuzuka, they all ended in a short time.

In the ensuing game, Tian Tian defeated another Taki Shinobi, leaving only one Waimura ninja in the third game of the Chunin Exam. <In the hard battle between the wild cherry blossoms, they won with a slight advantage, but most of the audience knew that with Rixiang Hinata's strength, it might be difficult to go on in the next game, except for the two who have not yet appeared. Outsiders, among the current promotion candidates, she is definitely the one with the weakest strength. What makes Shikamaru a little more concerned is her palm technique that vaguely shows the shadow of "chaotic style. Langang" in battle. It can be seen that she has always been Since then, Hinata has not relaxed herself, and has gradually improved and learned, but this cannot easily bridge the gap between her and her opponent.

Compared with the original book, Akimichi Choji, who has made great progress in both mentality and strength, eliminated the last Taki Ninja Village candidate in the next competition, which allowed Konoha Shinobi to completely occupy the huge third exam. On the stage, the amazingly destructive Qiu Dao esoteric martial arts he showed during the battle also attracted the attention of many audiences.

At this point in the game, it was getting late, and the audience's nerves gradually slowed down as the game progressed, and they also felt tired. It was impossible to watch the game all the time, and the first day of the game ended here.

…………

Instruct his subordinates to arrange for Hideo Mita and the daimyo representative of the land of the wind, while Shikamaru himself went to the Hokage Building to discuss with Tsunade, Jiraiya and others about going to the land of water after the Chunin exam. After all, he is the proposer of this plan and cannot be absent. <Will go to Kirigakure Village as Tsunade’s representative——Although Jiraiya is well-known in the ninja world, in terms of status, he cannot justifiably represent Tsunade. He is more of a foil, a silent and direct threat.

As the proposer of the plan, Shikamaru will naturally not be ruled out. He is an important candidate to implement the plan. He is the most potential jonin in Konoha Village at the moment, and is actually the nominal leader of this team.

The second is the three genin who performed well in this exam, Li Luke, Rixiang Ningji, and Yume Shino. By then, their identities will have become zhongnin. The team consists of seven people.

Not huge, but not small. <The Konoha team led by them will come to Wuyin Village to conduct exchanges and negotiations. During the period, Shikamaru will propose to have a sparring with the ninjas of Wuyin Village, defeating opponents one by one, and hitting the morale of Wuyin Village.

It's easy to say, but if you want to hit the morale of Wuyin Village, Shikamaru, Rixiang Ningji, Li Luoke, and Yume Shino must win beautifully. This has extremely high requirements for the strength of the three of them. After all, that is the home field of Mist Ninja.

…………

The next day's match was in a climax from the very beginning. Ri Xiang Ning faced Rock Lee. The duel between two friends who were both enemies and friends who were also good at physical arts but had different styles aroused cheers from the audience outside the court. Xiang Ningci is obviously not going to compete in speed with Rock Lee, who is very good at high-speed physical skills. Since the beginning, he has focused on defense and adopted a strategy of static braking. Locke was fully motivated, and it was hard to get him. Instead, he consumed a lot of energy and seemed to be at a disadvantage.

It's just that Rixiang Ningji is very aware of the power of Rock Lee's trump card "Bamen Dunjia". Even Shikamaru is unwilling to face the edge of this forbidden technique-although he doesn't have to face the edge directly-but it can also be seen that Rock Lee will use it at that time. strength.

The significance of mastering the absolute speed advantage lies in the ability to leave the battlefield at any time. This is an important part of the Taishu school taught by Akai, and it is also the key to his ability to spend time opening the inner door at any time on the battlefield.

Rixiang Ningci is unwilling to engage in high-speed physical combat with Rock Li. In terms of speed, he does not have an advantage, and a fierce chase will only consume physical strength, which also gives Rock Li more initiative. If you have time to open the inner door, use the "Eight Door Dunjia".

…………

boom!boom!

Using the eight-door dungeon, Locke Li, who opened the five doors in his body, seemed to have a huge force with every punch and kick. The explosive power endowed him with even more astonishing speed. With the mud and dust flying under his feet, he ran , his figure seems to disappear from the audience's naked eyes.

Back to the days!

Li Luoke's speed at this time, Rixiang Ningci can hardly keep up. Only by relying on the white eyes to catch the opponent's figure, and then relying on "Huitian" to counterattack and defend, can he have [-]% confidence in resisting his attack.

"Victory belongs to me!" Ri Xiangning thought with a blank expression on his face. "Bamen Dunjia" is a double-edged sword at all. If the enemy is dealt with internally, the user will undoubtedly lose.

Locke Li's strength was not enough to break through the defense of "Huitian", and Ri Xiangning's white eyes also gave him enough insight to catch the opponent's movements.

At this moment, Rock Lee's "Eight Doors Dunjia" became a "helper" to help Ri Xiangning win faster. After repeatedly defeating Li Rock's attacks, the effect of "Eight Doors Dunjia" finally dissipated. Rock Lee, who still refused to admit defeat, finally fainted under Ri Xiangning's acupuncture attack.

The winner of the first round, Rixiang Ningci!

This is probably the most exciting round in the third match, Shikamaru thought to himself looking at Rixiang Ningji who was panting heavily.

Ri Xiang Ningji aside, his talent already belongs to the level of elite zhongnin, and his physical skills are comparable to those of junin. After learning Bagua empty palm, he intends to make up for one of his own shortcomings, plus the communication with Shikamaru Discussion, I believe it won't take long to be promoted to Jonin.

As for Rock Li, with his high-speed physical skills and the explosive power of "Bamen Dunjia", it is no longer something that ordinary Chunin can deal with head-on. What's more, the rampant fighting style can indeed accelerate the secretion of adrenaline. Younvzhi is incomparable in any case.

(I’ve been really busy these two days, not to mention surfing the Internet. I found it a bit awkward to type on the computer today. The last batch of orders was finally completed. Although I feel sorry for the disappearance of the past few days, I still feel relieved Tone...)

(After reading the comments in the book review area, I went to QQ again, I feel so guilty >_<, there will be more in the next few days.)
