Naruto: I Neji Will Never Give Up

Chapter 22 – Battle! Third exam

For a moment, Tenten also noticed it, but his body didn’t seem to be able to keep up with this reaction.

The speed of the sand was so light that it could barely be caught by the naked eye, and Tenten was about to be attacked before his eyes.

With a “swish” sound, the sand instantly scattered!

“Shushasha”!

Just now, the sand that was still like a living thing, after being pierced by a hand, it was like a dead thing, all falling down in an instant, no more movement.

Neji stood in front of Tenten with a calm face.

Gaara stared at her with surprise.

He can’t understand such behavior and save people? Can’t understand.

He can only understand one thing, and that is the speed and technique just now… He made a right judgment, the person in front of him is very strong!

“Neji…”

Tenten was also a little surprised at Neji’s speed, and stood up.

“Thank you, when have you been so fast?”

Neji turned his head and smiled: “No, I just planned to go this way, so I reacted.”

“Speaking of you, what do you want to do?” Tenten immediately focused on Gaara who had just attacked him, and asked loudly.

“I am not interested in you, but I am very interested in your partner.”

After Gaara chuckled, Sand slowly returned to his gourd, her hands wrapped around her chest again, returning to her indifference.

“What’s your name?”

Gaara asked.

“Hyuga Neji.” Neji thought to himself. Sooner or later, there is no need to be too restrained in a battle with this guy.

“Gaara.”

After all, Gaara turned away without looking back.

“Chūnin exam, I can’t wait to fight you.”

The footsteps are getting farther and farther, and the sound echoes leisurely in the driving range.

Tenten just sighed: “The guys at Sand Shinobi this year are really not easy to mess with. Not only do they look strong, but their attitude is also disgusting!”

Tenten complained, but Neji didn’t answer.

He asked himself this question leisurely in his heart: Is he now sure to win Gaara?

“Not necessarily.”

This answer made Neji uneasy for a long time, thinking about it here, he started a new practice.

…

“Exam time is over!”

After being notified, all candidates were taken out of the dead forest and gathered in a clearing.

Iruka counted the number and murmured: “There are only 7 teams left, 21 people…”

At this time, a young man suddenly stood up.

It is Yakushi Kabuto.

“Sorry, I am going to quit this exam.”

Naruto: “Huh?!”

And Neji, who was standing in the corner, was suddenly slapped on the shoulder.

When Neji turned his head, it was Mitarashi Anko, the chief examiner of the previous round.

“I didn’t expect your kid to pass the exam too, it’s really good!”

Neji smiled and dealt with the matter.

“Then, well, everyone come with me. Now the third round of exams will begin.”

“Huh? There is more!!”

Moonlight Hayate appeared, everyone was surprised.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

After running around for three days and three nights, I didn’t expect the third round of exams to come just as it said!

Neji looked at the moonlight blast, he looked very gloomy, his eyes were almost dark circles like Gaara.

It seems that I have some problems with my lungs and I keep coughing all the time.

Excluding the sudden retreat, there are only twenty players left from the 21 players in the seven groups. They are arranged to compete in pairs. The winners can enter the official Chūnin selection meeting.

Everyone was taken to a venue, a training ground dedicated to examinations under Konoha.

The space is large enough, and there are a small number of auditoriums above it.

On the edge of the training ground, there is also a huge gesture of the seal of fire, which looks very spectacular.

“Xiao Li, congratulations on passing the exam!”

Guy’s voice resounded throughout the audience.

“Ms. Guy!?” Xiao Li immediately came to his spirits.

Then, one after another Jōnin walked in.

Kakashi, Guy, Yurihong all came out, and a few special Jōnin all came to watch the game.

“Everyone is worried about the result of this Chūnin exam! You have to go for it!”

Kakashi waved his hand to everyone and said with a smile.

Shikamaru glanced at the person above, squinted his eyes and said, “Fortunately, Asuma didn’t come…Anyway, our team has no hope…”

Seeing this, Neji sighed.

“It’s all Jōnin? It seems you have to be careful again, you will be spotted if you are not careful…”

When everyone was talking about it, Moonlight Hayate coughed twice and said, “Then, the person whose name appears on the big screen, come to the venue, and the others will go up and wait.”

“Uchiha Sasuke!”

The first name came out, and the audience was surprised.

“Wow, didn’t you expect to see the Uchiha clan genius fight in the first game?”

“Who will his opponent be? Can anyone beat him?”

“Akimichi Chōji!”

Neji was taken aback, but he didn’t expect the first combination to be these two.

Everyone started to move up, only Uchiha Sasuke and Akimichi Chōji remained on the court.

“Chōji! Be careful!”

Although Ino is also interesting to Sasuke, he is still more worried about his teammates.

And Kakashi was telling Sasuke something, and Sasuke pinched somewhere behind his neck tightly.

Neji witnessed this scene and hummed softly.

As expected, Orochimaru cast a curse.

When he arrived in the auditorium, Neji found that people around him began to gather slowly, everyone standing in a line watching, not far apart.

“Yo!”

Inuzukaga reached Neji’s side and greeted him enthusiastically.

“If I fight with you, I will be so lucky!”

Neji knew what he meant, but only smiled.

Next to him are Tenten and Xiao Li.

Tenten said with emotion: “Neji, now I and Xiao Li can’t cover you, you have to rely on yourself!”

“Ok.”

“So…”

Haifeng took a step back, stretched out his hand, and ordered at any time.

“Game start!”

The two sides in the battle, Uchiha Sasuke, and Akimichi Chōji of the Akamichi clan.

“Sasuke-san! Knock that fat pig!”

In the auditorium, little Sakura immediately began to cheer.

When this sound came out, Shikamaru and Ino were both taken aback.

“Fucked! This guy… said a forbidden sentence?” Shikamaru’s eyes widened.

Sure enough, when he heard Chōji once “fat pig”, he frowned and became angry.

“Fat pig? Did you just call me Fat Pig?”

Chōji gritted his teeth and looked at Uchiha Sasuke not far in front. He immediately lost his limited state and was full of fighting spirit!

And Sasuke seemed to be suffering from the curse imprint at this time, frowning.

“Hurry up, there is no time to mess with you.”

“Ahhhhhhh!”

“Bomb tank!”

“The lion plays!”

… “The winner… Uchiha Sasuke!”

“Oh! Chōji, it’s still too difficult to beat Sasuke!” Ino put his chin on his hand, feeling a little disappointed.

“Sasuke-san! Wow, so handsome!”

In the first game, Sasuke won without a doubt, which was also expected by Neji.

It’s just that this kind of random assignment is really exciting, and Neji is also very concerned about what kind of opponent he will face for the first time.

In any case, it is easy to deal with, after all, Jōnin is watching all around.

“Ah, then, the next group…”

As Haifeng said, covering his mouth with his fist, his eyes were dark and deep.

“Otonin’s Zack, yes…”

After the first name appeared, everyone’s eyes began to gather the next name that kept rolling.

After a few seconds, it appeared.

“… Hyūga Hinata!”
