Hyuga's Rebellion

Chapter 18 The Qualifiers Begin

After four long days of waiting, the second exam was finally over. Due to the encounter with Orochimaru, Kakashi's seventh class had become the last team to pass the exam, but luckily it was within the specified time They reached the tower.

In Konoha's indoor practice field, all the ninjas who passed the second test appeared there. On the high platform, Konoha's Hokage-sama had been waiting for Hada for a long time. Looking at the energetic ginnin below, the third Hokage subconsciously sized it up. The peripheral vision in his eyes stopped for a while on Ningji Hinata and Sasuke Uchiha, and then quickly retracted.

Unlike Sasuke, who was in a trance after suffering from the curse mark, Neji sensed all this keenly, and after understanding where the line of sight came from, he just sneered and ignored it.However, apart from the three generations of Hokage's sizing up, the ninja around him also watched Neiji Hyuga quietly behind their backs, especially Gaara from Sand Waterfall. Not far from Neji.

After announcing the official end of the second exam, Hayate Moon, who was in charge of the third exam, also appeared in the exam room. According to the rules of the exam, this sick-looking Jonin was coughing while giving popular science to the little devils below. The rules of the exam were set up.

"If anyone else gives up, speak up as soon as possible!"

Having said that, Moonlight Hayate squinted and scanned the surrounding Shinobi.

"I, Pharmacist Dou, choose to give up this competition!"

Naruto's medical treatment, in his eyes, is still a kind big brother, Medicine Master Dou actually stretched out the hand that gave up, which puzzled him very much.

"Why did you give up, Senior Pharmacist?"

Still as reckless as before, Naruto Uzumaki didn't care what the occasion was, he was a little agitated when he saw Yao Shidou who had already walked out of the team.

"There is no other way. The previous exams have made my body unable to continue!"

Speaking of this, Yao Shidou touched his head in embarrassment, looked at such a simple Naruto Uzumaki, and gave a reasonable explanation.

"But?"

Naruto Uzumaki opened his mouth, trying to say something else.

"That's enough, Naruto, you have to work hard!"

Continuing to play the role of gentle big brother, what Yao Shidou said made Naruto unable to say anything else.

"Is it Yao Shidou... I remember this guy has given up the qualifications of the Chunin exam three times!"

On the high platform, Hong Dou, the examiner of the second exam, looked at Yao Shidou's somewhat familiar face, paused for a moment but still remembered about him.

"Yaoshidou, is that the orphan of Jugen Mountain?"

Listening to Anko's words, Hiruza Sarutobi of the Third Hokage suddenly remembered something, right? The child brought back by Tianshan, although he was puzzled that this child gave up the qualification of the Chunin exam again, but even as Hokage Unable to impose his will on others to change his mind,

So Sarutobi chose to respect Yaoshidou's choice.

"Is no one giving up yet? That's great. I'm announcing the official start of the third exam!"

Frowning, watching Yao Shidou's receding back, Moonlight Gale sized up the remaining newcomers suspiciously, and began to announce the start of the exam.

Following the beating of a series of names on the big screen, it finally stopped after a while.

"The candidates for the first exam have already appeared, so Uchiha Sasuke will face the Red Copper Armor, and the other candidates leave here quickly!"

The sickly Moonlight Gale took a few breaths after saying this.

"Sasuke-kun, give up this exam!"

Sakura on the side looked worriedly at the covered curse mark under Sasuke's T-shirt, her tone full of worry.

"Shut up, Sakura, you don't understand anything!"

After being annoyed by such wishful thinking for a long time, Sasuke finally couldn't help it. He covered the curse mark on his neck with one hand, and raised his head viciously, his eyes full of warning.

"but……"

Seeing Sasuke's cold expression that he had never seen before, Sakura was stunned, not knowing what to say for a while.

"Enough is enough, Sakura!"

Kakashi, who appeared behind Sakura, patted her on the shoulder reassuringly, and then turned his gaze to Sasuke, who was still insisting.

"The test can continue, but you can't use Sharingan, otherwise I will terminate the competition. Can you do it, Sasuke?"

Hearing this, Sasuke was taken aback for a moment, and he returned to normal in a moment, glanced at the opponent who had already appeared in the examination room from the corner of his eye, and nodded without hesitation.

"That's good, let's go, Naruto, Sakura!"

Seeing Sasuke's promise, Kakashi pulled Sakura and Naruto who didn't know what happened to the stands quickly.

"Oh, Kai vs. Sasuke, hey, it's really unlucky, Sasuke!."

Kaita's ability to absorb other people's chakra through close contact is the last enemy you don't want to meet right now.

Orochimaru, who was disguised as Otonin Jonin in the stands, was quite interesting. He stared at Sasuke in the examination room, and looked at the red copper armor below. He seemed to think of something interesting, and the expression on his face became more and more expectant.

However, it was different from Orochimaru's expectation. When he walked to the center of the examination room, Sasuke looked at Kakashi who was staring at him with a cold face. He couldn't help but clenched his fists. If he used Sharingan, the test would be terminated. , Sasuke would naturally not accept such a result.

But without using Sharingan, the current situation is a bit tricky. Thinking of this, Sasuke glanced at Ningji leaning against the corner of the stand to rest his eyes, and his heart suddenly brightened.

Still can use that!

Immediately paying attention, Sasuke's face gradually calmed down, and he looked at his opponent calmly. Although he would soon lose his physical strength after using that move, it was already the last choice for now.

"start!"

As the invigilator Moonlight Hayate announced the start of the exam, the red copper armor rushed forward first, and seeing the enemy who was already close at hand, Sasuke finally moved.

After trampling dozens of times in an instant, Sasuke's figure flashed away, leaving the red copper armor in the air.

"This is?"

Seeing this exquisite performance, Orochimaru's eyes lit up in the stands, and he subconsciously stuck out his tongue and licked the corner of his mouth.

To be able to achieve this level, Sasuke-kun, really makes me look forward to you even more!

Although the situation was obviously different from what Orochimaru had expected, but watching this scene, Orochimaru still couldn't stop the excitement in his heart, and even the eyes looking at Sasuke were full of strange desires.

"Isn't this Neji's physical skill?"

Putting his hands on the guardrail, Tian Tian wrinkled and looked at Ning Ci with his eyes closed.

"Oh!"

Ningci, who closed his eyes, opened his eyes for a rare moment, glanced at the seemingly boring fight under him with moonlight, and after a light reply, he ignored it.

"It is indeed Neji's physical skill, but compared to that time, his speed has become smoother!"

Standing behind Tian Tian, ​​​​Xiao Li, who was watching this scene closely, had a complicated expression on his face. It was surprising that he was able to use Nei Ci's physical skills smoothly in such a short period of time, although it was not comparable to Nei Ci's speed. , but it is surprising enough.

"Is this the talent of the Uchiha clan?"

Whispering to himself, Xiao Li's eyes towards Sasuke gradually became serious.

Both feet stepped on the ground repeatedly in an instant in exchange for high-speed explosive movement, indeed making Sasuke play with the red copper armor like a cat playing with a mouse, but at the same time Sasuke's physical strength began to decrease.

Stretching out his hands to try to grab Sasuke's red copper armor, Sasuke escaped again, and Sasuke's offensive finally began.

Taking advantage of the burst of shaving, Sasuke appeared under the red copper armor at a speed beyond the reach of human eyes. Sasuke's next movement after bending down became so familiar to Xiao Li's eyes.He raised his leg and kicked, and the red copper armored body that was hit hard on the chin let out a muffled sound, and the whole person was lifted up in the air like that.

"It's not over yet!"

Sasuke's panting voice rang in the red copper armor's ears. He was already floating in mid-air, and he didn't even make a turn. He could only use his chest shield to try to resist this attack.

However, Sasuke's attack did not appear there. Instead, he punched him hard on the bridge of the nose, and the sudden oncoming pain caused him to close his eyes. At this time, Sasuke's body turned over again and appeared in the red He on top of the copper armor slammed his opponent's lower abdomen with a side leg. With the help of the momentum of falling in the air, this blow made an astonishing sound of piercing the air.

With a sound of "Boom", the red copper armor fell on the hard stone slab unpreparedly, and he was completely knocked out by this blow, and his whole body has lost consciousness, leaving only his body twitching instinctively.

"Winner, Sasuke Uchiha!"

Moonlight Hayate looked at Sasuke, who was panting heavily, and began to announce the winner.

Interesting, interesting, actually put on such an interesting performance for me, Uchiha Sasuke, I like you more and more!

Completely hysterical in his heart, Orochimaru looked at Sasuke who had staged an amazing scene for himself, and the hotness in his eyes deepened even more.

That's right, that's the physical technique I used on him before. I didn't expect to copy this one. Staring at this scene closely, Xiao Li stopped talking and subconsciously clenched his fists. He also began to understand that Ning Ci had the words said.

Uchiha Sasuke, I take back what I said before, your performance is indeed qualified to appear in front of Neji, but I will not admit defeat!

Thinking of this, Xiao Li's eyes gradually became firmer, which made A Kai who was secretly looking at his disciple quietly relieved.

Having dealt with the opponent in front of him, Sasuke raised his head and looked at the crowd on the stage, his eyes fell on Ningji who was still resting with his eyes closed, Sasuke's face darkened again.

"Damn it, Neiji Hyuga, am I still so weak in your eyes now, that I don't want to waste my effort even if I open my eyes!"

Almost gritting his teeth, Sasuke lowered his head to cover up his twisted expression, his tone full of unwillingness.

"Let's go, Sasuke, your body has reached its limit!"

Turning a deaf ear to the unwilling whispers of the disciples beside him, Kakashi appeared behind Sasuke and patted his shoulder with his hands.

Listening to Kakashi's urging, after Sasuke seemed to take a few steps normally, his staggering footsteps almost made his body lose his balance. Fortunately, Kakashi behind him supported him with his right hand.

"hateful!"

After realizing that his limit was only this level, Sasuke's expression became even more gloomy.

"Let's go, Sasuke!"

After looking down at the unwilling disciple, Kakashi was silent for a while and then urged, there are too many things he has to deal with right now, and there is no time to waste on mental counseling.

Supporting Sasuke with his right hand, Kakashi and Sasuke slowly left the scope of the examination room.

In the stands, Orochimaru, who was staring at Sasuke closely, watched Kakashi's actions, smiled coldly, and left quietly.
