Chapter 40: 40
"Hey, this isn't it fair? That guy is almost as tall as Jiraiya, and weighs at least two hundred pounds. Is he really a genin who meets the conditions for the competition?"
Tsunade leaned forward, and stared at Kisame in the venue, a little worried about Shizune.
"He is indeed only thirteen years old, and he is not too old." Orochimaru responded.
"Hmph, at the age of thirteen he is still a genin, then his potential is low. Back then, even an idiot like Jiraiya promoted at the age of fifteen."
Tsunade leaned back on the sofa and folded her arms in disdain.
Jiraiya, who was also shot while lying down, suddenly looked depressed, and smiled at Tsunade with a bitter face:
"In your heart, I've always been an idiot?"
The game continued, and the rest of the contestants went into battle in turn.
Soon, Obito, who Jiraya was optimistic about, and Shizune, who Tsunade was optimistic about defeated their respective opponents, and the time taken was not long, which implies it is relatively easy for them.
The top four are, namely Konoha's Uchiha Obito and Shizune, Kirigakushi's Hoshigaki Kisame and another Kirigakure genin.
The two Ninja villages are evenly matched.
As for the genins from Kumogakure and other small ninja villages, they were unfortunately eliminated and failed to go further in this chunin exam.
Noon, after a short break.
The Final Four began.
This time, Obito was the first to appear. After a thrilling and difficult battle, he successfully defeated the other Kirigakure genin and won the first to be in the finals.
After winning, Obito wiped off the blood and sweat on his face, and immediately pointed his finger at Kisame under the stage, and declared war on the latter with his gestures.
It seems that Kisame is under a lot of pressure.
If he loses, Kirigakure will stop here, and the final will be the civil war of Konoha Ninjas.
Under the guidance of Minato Namikaze, Kisame and Shizune walked into the venue and stood face to face a few meters apart.
The second semi-final is about to begin.
In the box.
"Shizune, come on, you must beat that guy!"
Tsunade stood up nervously, and although Shizune couldn't hear her, she still waved her fist to cheer for her disciple.
Of course, more importantly, she didn't want to invite guests to dinner.
However, what surprised Tsunade was.
"I surrender."
Before the competition started, Shizune took a deep breath and raised her hand to abstain.
Because she knew that against Kisame, she had no chance of winning. She doesn't want to fight with monsters like Kisame, and face unnecessarily torture.
For Shizune, the top four is enough to be promoted to Chunin, and her purpose of participating in this exam has been achieved.
However, her decision immediately caused an uproar in the venue.
"What's wrong with Shizune? Couldn't it be because she was injured in the previous battle, so she can't continue fighting. That guy, Kisame, entered the finals just like this?"
Asuma was so angry that he couldn't even smoke, as he was dissatisfied.
"What?"
In the box, Tsunade was dumbfounded, and the motion of waving to cheer instantly solidified, and after a moment of stiffness, she sat down on the sofa.
Under the dual action of gravity and her own action, it caused great waves.
Jiraya gazed upon these waves with his eyes straight, and his nose was bleeding.
"Tsunade, it seems that you are still the same as before, you will lose every bet."
Although Kisame failed to kill Obito, but
In the last battle of the Chunin Exam, when Minato Namikaze made his move, it meant that the battle was over.
Kisame won.
In the venue, after a brief silence, there was a loud roar again.
In the expectation of many people, this should have been a wonderful matchup of evenly matched opponents, but they did not expect to be one-sided.
If they moved their head for a moment they wouldn't be able to watch the match as it's already finished.
Especially for the Konoha audience in the stands, this result is even more unacceptable.
After all, Konoha, as the head of the five major ninja villages, is the host of this Chunin exam. But now, the first place was won by a Kirigakure Ninja, and that to by crushing the Konoha Ninja.
"Unlucky!"
For a time, many Konoha audience stood up cursingly and began to leave the stage one after another.
Inside the field.
"Chief examiner, what are you waiting for?"
Kisame walked towards Minato, and said, "According to the rules, you should hold my hand and Obito's hand respectively at this time, and then raise my arm to announce the winner. It can't be that Konoha can't follow the basic etiquette when it looses, right?"
When Minato heard this, his face darkened.
Indeed, he cared too much about his disciple, Obito, and kept asking about the latter's injuries, leaving the champion Kisame aside for a while.
"The winner is Hoshigaki Kisame!"
Minato raised Kisame's arm and announced the results to the audience, completing the role of the examiner.
There were not many cheers in the stands.
"Hoshigaki Kisame, I lost, you are amazing! However, you made everyone dislike you."
Obito gnashed his teeth and stared at Kisame, first admitting that his skills were inferior to others, and then he sneered.
"Who said that, my companions from Kirigakure are cheering for me, aren't they?"
Kisame pointed to the stand with his finger, and the group of Kirigakure Genin really had a spring breeze on their faces, cheering over there.
He took the first place and gave the entire Kirigakure a lot of prestige, they could now return to the village triumphantly.
"Is that in your eyes, only your companions, only Konoha's people are human, and Kirigakure ninjas are not human?"
Kisame responded lightly, leaving Obito speechless for a while, unable to speak.
In the stands.
Asuma finally fell silent.
The water release jutsu that Kisame cast was the most terrifying water release jutsu he had ever seen. It's hard to imagine how a single man can have so many chakra.
Kakashi shook his head, because he knew that Kisame still has many methods that aren't useless at all.
He left his seat directly and turned to leave.
The top of the stand.
"Congratulations."
The third Hokage showed a smile and congratulated the third Mizukage, but his words were somewhat insincere.
"Hahaha."
The third Mizukage who rarely laughed was laughing heartily and looked happy.
In the more than 20 years since the end of the first ninja war, the three major ninja villages, Konoha, Kumogakure, and Kirigakure had occasional frictions with each other, have never directly erupted in large-scale military affairs. conflict.
Over the years, the cultural, economic and military exchanges between the three major ninja villages have not been interrupted and have become more frequent.
Therefore, a grand occasion where the three major ninja villages sent people to participate in the Chunin exam at the same time was established as a way to compete.
It can be said that this Chunin exam is the largest one in the peaceful era.
