Chapter 313： The fire escape that shocked the candidates

Chapter 313 The fire escape that shocked the candidates

 Mu Yue didn’t know what Hiruzen Sarutobi and Yuanshi talked about in the end, but the result was pretty much what he expected.

The Kirigakure candidates continued the exam normally, and the captured Kirigakure ninjas were also released directly, as if nothing happened.

Five days later, Mu Yue looked at the clock and officially announced the end of the second exam. All teams that did not reach the middle tower with the scrolls were eliminated.

“It’s finally over, can we go outside?” Obito complained.

They passed the exam in just a few hours and have lived in the middle tower until now.

Obito was a little uncomfortable even practicing in the middle tower, so he could only exercise in the large open space inside the middle tower.

"Everyone, be quiet. Now the examiner of the third exam, Bei Liuhu, will explain to everyone the relevant matters of the third exam." Mu Yue said with a smile.

Mu Yue also has a position in the third exam, but the explanation has to be given by the examiner.

A ninja wearing a gray-yellow turtleneck coat with long white hair walked next to Mu Yue.

“I’ll trouble you next, Senior Biliuhu.” Mu Yue said with a gentle smile.

Beilihu, Tsunade and Jiraiya are all friends, so Muyue and Beiruhu can be considered friends of friends, and they can get along fairly well during the Chunin Exam.

Beiliuhu smiled slightly at Muyue and responded: "Well, just leave it to me."

Watching Mu Yue walk to the side, Bei Liuhu faced the candidates and said with a smile: "First of all, I would like to congratulate you all for successfully passing the second exam."

“But unfortunately, you can’t leave the Central Tower for the time being. Before starting the third exam, you have to take a pre-selection exam. Only if you pass the pre-selection exam can you take the third exam.”

“Why go to such trouble and have one more pre-selection?” Obito asked in confusion.

"Yes, we finally passed the second exam, and now we are very tired." Some ninjas thought this was unreasonable.

"Because there will be many high-ranking officials and nobles coming to watch the game in the third exam. They are all able to provide a large number of high-quality commissions. The exam time is a big problem, so the number of places in the third exam is limited." Bei Liuhu did not panic. He explained calmly.

The reason why all the candidates who have passed the level must be kept in the middle tower is to facilitate the pre-selection. This is not necessary if we are only talking about the rules of the third game.

The number of people scheduled for Beilihu is about eighteen, and for this exam, there are forty-four reference teams. Even if most of them are eliminated, there are still eleven teams that have completed the exam. Each team has three members, and the total number of people is It seriously exceeded Bei Liuhu's psychological expectations, so he had to take an additional test.

“The pre-selection battle is no longer a group battle, but a one-on-one battle, lasting one round. Candidates who are unwell or are not confident in their strength can abstain in advance.” Beilihu continued to talk about the rules of the pre-selection.

In order to make the third exam exciting enough, the pre-selection rules are the same as the third exam, and the test is single-player combat ability.

"Single combat..." Nohara Lin showed a worried expression after hearing this. She was not very confident in her solo combat ability.

"Xiao Lin, you will definitely be fine. You just have to hold back a bit when you meet people from the same village, so as not to kill them with one punch." Obito encouraged with a smile.

"My strength is not that great." Nohara Lin's face bulged slightly, looking a little unhappy.

"What Obito said this time is indeed correct. Xiaolin, your strength has surpassed many candidates. As long as you don't encounter those particularly strong Kirigakure, you will have no problem entering the third exam." Kakashi nodded and said .

Even though Nohara Rin’s presence among them is very low, Kakashi, who has been a ninja since he was five years old, has a lot of experience. Nohara Rin’s level is already very strong among the genin, but she lacks long-distance attack methods, but the genin has so.

"Well, no matter who my opponent is, I will work hard. Let's all enter the third exam together." Nohara Lin nodded and said. Kakashi's words made her feel more at ease.

After all, Kakashi is indeed much more reliable in this regard.

“It’s actually a one-on-one battle, and it feels like it’s going to be over.” Shiranui Genma looked at the genin around him and felt like a husky among the wolves.

He knew the genin who were about the same age as him on the field. They were all monsters. All members of Obito's team were monsters. Those Kirigakure were also very powerful. Apart from these people, even the smallest Asuma team was one year older than them. years, with more genin several years older than them.

“There is nothing we can do if we lose. After all, we are not strong enough.” Ebisu looked very calm.

At this point, he almost knew what level he was at. He was able to take the exam because of Metkai. If he could become a chuunin, he would earn it, and he could not just accumulate experience.

“Indeed, after all, it’s all thanks to Akai that we are here.” Shiranui Genma put his hand on Metkai’s back and said with a smile.

“Everyone has done their best, and all we have to do next is fight with all our strength without leaving any regrets.” Metkai said, giving a thumbs up to the two of them.

Shiranui Genma and Ebisu both nodded.

"If you meet Kakashi and Obito, you must surprise them." Asuma was quite confident in himself.

He and Mu Yue have learned a lot about the changes in the properties of wind chakra. Now the ninjutsu he is best at is no longer fire escape but wind escape.

"Well, I think Kakashi should forget it." Hinazashirui advised Asuma not to think too much. He had passed the chuunin exam a few years ago.

"I abstain." Next to Terumi Mei, Kirigakure, whose whole body was wrapped in bandages, raised his hand and abstained.

He was Kirigakure who was seriously injured by Metkai. Although he survived by chance, five days was not enough for him to recover from his injuries, so he gave up immediately.

Terumi Mei looked indifferent. When she got here, she didn't care what her teammates decided, because it was time for her personal performance next.

“The taijutsu boy in green tights, the white-haired masked ninja who likes to act cool, and Kisame Kisaki.” Terumi Mei silently thought about her rivals for the championship, and prepared to watch their battle later.

Since Obito is best at fire escape and was defeated by her once, Terumi Mei did not add Obito to it.

Beiliuhu nodded in agreement and then asked: "Is there anyone else who wants to abstain? If no one abstains, the pre-selection will begin."

No one responded to Beiliuhu's words. We have come to this point. As long as it is not really impossible, no one will want to give up.

“Very good, then, you can pay attention to the information on the big screen. After the draw is completed, your pre-selected opponents and their order will be displayed.” Seeing that no one was abstaining, Bei Liuhu pointed to the huge screen behind him and said.

About five minutes later, the originally dark screen lit up, and a group of battle lists appeared on it.

Mu Yue glanced at it for a moment and stopped paying attention, because Kakashi Obito and the others were bound to pass.

It’s not that they can definitely win everyone, but the pre-selection draw is not completely random. The person who arranged the draw will not let those strong candidates meet in the pre-selection, so as to ensure that the third exam is exciting enough.

“The first match, Uchiha Obito vs. Kono Hideyoshi, please prepare for the battle.” A minute after the list appeared, Hiru called out.

"I am the first one. Let me be the first to succeed." Obito said with confidence.

Previously, they obtained a lot of information cards from a team of Konoha ninjas, including Kono Hideyoshi's information cards.

Kono Hideyoshi graduated from school at the age of ten. When he was twelve years old last year, he took part in a Chunin exam and entered the third round but failed to become a Chunin.

From Obito's point of view, someone who has not yet become a chuunin at the age of thirteen must not be much stronger. Kakashi has been defeated by him since he became a chuunin at the age of six.

“Come on!” Nohara Lin smiled and cheered Obito up.

“Be careful, don’t lose to someone who is not as strong as you.” Kakashi reminded lightly.

With the blessings of his two teammates, Obito walked to the middle of the large open space. Hideyoshi Kono exchanged words with his teammates and walked over. The other candidates were guided by the examiner to the second floor to watch the battle, so as not to disturb the battle.

"You look very young, but since you can pass through the forest of death, you can't underestimate him." Kono Hideyoshi thought to himself as he looked at Obito, who was obviously much younger than him.

“The battle begins!” Beiliuhu shouted immediately after seeing the two men getting ready, and then retreated to the edge.

"Breath of Fire, breathe with full concentration!" Obito immediately entered a state of full concentration, and his physical ability and fire escape ability increased rapidly.

“Fire Release·Fire Dragon Flame Bullet!”

Enter full concentration and breathe, and at the same time, Obito immediately formed a seal in his throat to condense chakra and spit out a large fire.

The flames, like a large number of fire dragons, spread rapidly towards Hideyoshi Kono, instantly turning the ground more than ten meters nearby into a world of flames and surrounding Hideyoshi Kono.

Hideyoshi Kono was dumbfounded when he saw the ferocious flames that seemed to engulf him in the next moment. This was a genin. He had been a genin for several years and had never seen a genin using such a powerful advanced fire escape.

Even Beilihu, who was not far away, showed a surprised expression when he saw Obito's fire escape. This fire escape was very rare to see among chunin, let alone genin.

"Are you as talented as Orochimaru Jiraiya and the others?" Beilihu couldn't help but feel a little envious in his heart.

After finding that he was unable to deal with it, Hideyoshi Kono directly dropped the kunai in his hand and performed a French military salute and said: "I surrender."

He couldn't win at all, and Hideyoshi Kono felt that he had better lose earlier and suffer less.

"Uchiha Obito wins!" Beiruhu announced Obito's victory simply. The two sides were not at the same level at all.

“Uchiha Obito, I remember he is not a famous crane, how come he has become so powerful.” The Konoha ninja who graduated before Obito’s rise was very puzzled by this.

“The tail of the crane? That guy is a real monster.” Nara Mizuno, who had witnessed Obito’s manpower battle against the Kirigakure Jonin, exclaimed.

Obito’s Fire Dragon Flame Bomb caused a huge discussion during the exam.

Although Obito lost his title of Crane Tail in the actual combat exam when he was in the fourth grade, in this Chunin exam, only Matkai and the others were in the same class as Obito, and the other Konoha ninjas were basically better. Obito is a few years older.

Those who have graduated early will not pay attention to the information of the ninja school. In their perception, Obito is still the last Uchiha.

"No matter how strong your fire escape is, you are no match for me." Terumi Mei was very calm.

"Obito, this guy has become so strong in Fire Release. How did he practice it?" Asuma showed a puzzled expression.

He vaguely remembered that during the training, the Earth Fire Escape was not much better than him. For more than half a year, it was like a different person. Asuma instantly lost the confidence to defeat Obito. This fire escape looked too brutal.

“Maybe they work harder when we work hard.” Bingzu Leitong couldn’t help but say.

 He was not willing to lose to Obito and they were not the same. He originally wanted to win back in the Chunin Exam, but after seeing Obito's Fire Release, he no longer wanted to meet Obito.

Obito walked back to the second floor with a bright smile, and said with a smile: "How about it, I'm fast enough, I can solve the battle in less than a minute."

“Well, it’s great.” Nohara Lin affirmed with a smile.

"I can only say that it's okay. It's not a wise move to start with such a ninjutsu that wastes chakra." Kakashi started to criticize.

"Kakashi, you are jealous, but I am very generous. If you did not enter the third round of exams, I will definitely comfort you." With Nohara Rin's praise and blessing, Obito ignored Kakashi's slander.

Of course, if Kakashi really loses, Obito can laugh at him for a year. It would be too funny if the chuunin didn't even make it to the third round of the chuunin exams.

“The second round, Shiranui Genma versus Terumi Mei.” Beilihu quickly read out the names of the candidates for the second round.

“What a bad luck.” Shiranui Genma sighed.

The good news is that he knows the enemy's intelligence. The bad news is that the enemy is too strong. Even if he knows the information, he can only be beaten.

"It's okay. Anyway, the person before you surrendered instantly, so it won't be too embarrassing for you to surrender." Ebisu raised his sunglasses and said.

“Go, I’m going to fight her no matter what.” Shiranui Genma hammered Ebisu on the chest.

Although Genma Shiranui knew that he would definitely not be able to defeat Terumi Mei, he didn't want to end up like Kono Hideyoshi before he could even fight.

Shiranui Genma got through a few moves with Terumi Mei as he wished, but it was only a few moves. Shiranui Genma just spat out a Senbon, punched and kicked Terumi Mei from close range, and was locked in a water prison by Terumi Mei, unable to get out. Be able to admit defeat.

Even though he was mentally prepared, it still felt a little uncomfortable to be defeated so easily by Genma Shiranui. He was still the most powerful person in the class when he was in the ninja school. The gap was really too big.

Shiranui Genma is already planning to take the initiative to ask Teacher Chen for additional training after returning. As long as he can't die, he will practice to death. He doesn't want to experience this embarrassing scene a second time.

The winners of the next two consecutive battles were Kisame and Zabuza, both of whom defeated their opponents with absolute superiority to win.

“The fifth game, Kakashi Hatake vs. Koji Mizumoto.”

“Come on.” Nohara Lin waved her fist to cheer Kakashi up.

“Don’t lose.” Obito used Kakashi’s encouragement.

Kakashi nodded calmly and jumped down from the second floor.

Since Mizumoto Koji is a Kirigakure ninja, Kakashi had not touched him during the second exam and did not know his intelligence, so Kakashi chose to attack tentatively in the first wave of confrontation.

After discovering that Mizumoto Koji's strength was far inferior to him, Kakashi directly burst out the breath of thunder and used a very fast knife to put White Fang on Mizumoto Koji's neck to end the battle.

“Sixth game, Nohara Lin vs. Nakane Toda.”

"Believe in yourself, there will be no problem." Kakashi said after returning to the second floor after the battle.

Nakane Toda is the Konoha ninja they have information about, and he is in the same class and team as Kono Hideyoshi, who was eliminated by Obito before.

“Xiaolin, you can definitely win.” Obito gave his blessing.

Nohara Lin smiled and nodded, walked down the stairs and entered the battlefield.

Nakane Toda looked at Nohara Rin cautiously. Although Nohara Rin looked soft and weak, Nohara Rin's two teammates were crushed and won, which made him dare not underestimate Nohara Rin.

“Looking so thin, he must not be very strong in physical skills.” Nakane Toda carefully observed Nohara Lin’s body and analyzed Nohara Lin’s intelligence.

He believes that Nohara Rin should be as good at ninjutsu as Obito.

So Nakane Toda immediately formulated a battle plan. At the beginning, he used ninja tools to harass and then started close combat. Physical skills happened to be his strength.

“The battle begins!”

Hush!

As soon as Beiruhu finished speaking, Netoda immediately took out his shuriken and threw it at Nohara Rin.

“Basic breathing, all concentrated!”

Nohara Lin immediately entered a basic breathing state and improved her physical abilities.

Then something unexpected happened to Nohara Rin. She was still thinking about how to approach Nakane Toda, but Nakane Toda rushed towards her directly.

Since Nakane Toda took the initiative to send Nohara Rin to his door, he was not polite and directly concentrated a large amount of chakra on his arm to perform the strange power punch.

boom!

With a loud noise, Nakane Toda, who was sparring with Nohara Rin, flew backwards like a cannonball and hit the ground hard, causing spiderweb-like cracks.

At this time, there was silence in the middle tower, and the candidates were all stunned to look at Nohara Rin who was still pumping her fists in the venue.

They thought this was too strange. A nine-year-old girl who looked weak and weak punched away Nakane Toda, who looked tall and thick with strong muscles.

"Hiss." Asuma took a breath, with an expression of disbelief on his face, "When did Xiaolin become so violent? No, why is her physical skills so good?"

In Asuma's impression, Nohara Rin was an ordinary student who was good at theory and was quite decent in all aspects, but Nohara Rin's punch just now was too exaggerated.

“I’ll go talk to her after the exam is over.” Yuhi Hong also looked shocked. She had never seen this scene before.

Hingzu Leitong was already numb, and he felt that Nohara Lin was not easy to deal with. If this punch hit him, Nohara Lin would have to kneel down on the spot and beg him not to die.

"Nohara Rin wins." Beiruhu, who discovered that Nakane Toda had lost the ability to fight again, announced Nohara Rin's victory.

After passing the pre-selection, Nohara Lin had a smile on her face. It was much easier than she thought. She thought she would have to go through a hard battle to win.

After all, she is far behind compared to the excellent Obito and Kakashi.

“I just said Xiaolin, you can definitely do it.” Obito immediately congratulated Xiaolin when she reached the second floor.

“Thank you for your trust, now our whole team has passed.” Nohara Lin clasped her hands together and said with a bright smile.

Kakashi nodded without saying anything. He knew Nohara Rin’s strength among genin better than Nohara Rin. Nohara Rin was so unsure because the people she was with every day were too strong, which led to her misconception.

As the preliminary examination progressed, successful candidates continued to appear one after another, many of whom were acquaintances of Obito and Kakashi.

Asuma, Nara Mizuno, and Inuzuka Midori, some of them are friends that Kakashi and the others met in school, and some of them fought together in the Forest of Death.

Kakashi also discovered that in addition to the success of all members of their team, the Kirigakure team created by Inekaki Kisame also successfully entered the third test, and the Terumi Mei team except for the ninja who abstained also entered the third test.

Other than that, there is nothing else. The Nara Salt Water Team Aburonachi also lost. Asuma's team lost except for Asuma's success and Yuhirui. Among them, the most unlucky one was the same because he met Mai. Teke.

On the Metkai team, only Metkai succeeded, and Ebisu lost to Yamashiro Aoba.

"The preliminaries are over. There are a total of sixteen people who have advanced to the third exam, including Obito Uchiha and Mei Terumi..." After all the battles were over, Beiruhu announced the final results.

After announcing the promotion list, Beiliuhu immediately announced the arrangements for the third exam.

“The rules of the third exam are basically the same as the pre-selection you just conducted. One-on-one battles will be conducted according to the results of the draw. The winner will be promoted and the loser will be eliminated until the final winner is determined.

In the third exam battle, you need to use all your abilities in the battle without reservation. The exam will be scored by a special ninja. If you perform well enough, you may not be able to become a chunin if you lose. Otherwise, if If you don't perform well, you may not be able to advance to Chunin even if you win in the end. "

The rules of the third exam are the same as the ninja school practical exam. Each round of battle will be scored by someone specifically to see the comprehensive quality of the ninja.

"Next, the person whose name I called came up to draw lots. The order of the third test battle will be determined based on this draw." Beilihu then took out a box and said.

The order of drawing lots is based on the result of the battle just now. Obito was the first to be called up to draw lots.

There was no ink on Obito, so he put it in and took it out immediately, then gave Beilihu a look.

“Uchiha Obito No. 9.” Beiliu said.

Then everyone had to recite Beilihu after they finished smoking. After everyone finished smoking, the big screen that had been plunged into darkness lit up again. This time it showed the battle arrangement for the third exam, No. 1 vs. No. 2 and No. 3. Number four is arranged in sequence.

Obito did not look anxiously at his opponent, but looked at the name of No. 4, because Nohara Rin was No. 3.

“It’s that Nara salt water, it doesn’t feel easy to deal with.” Obito was a little worried for Nohara Rin.

He has seen the behavior of Nara Salt Water in the Forest of Death. He is a guy as sinister and cunning as Kakashi.

"Well, I feel like he is the kind of person who is very calm and alert." Nohara Rin nodded. She was deeply impressed by how she almost helped Obito kill the Jonin even when he was unable to carry out basic actions.

"But I will fight with all my strength. After all, the examiner also said that even if I lose, I can become a chuunin."

A lot of battles have been written about the Forest of Death, so I’ll condense them here and finish the 6k chapter in one go.
