Chapter 283 The exam begins

these years.

Since learning about his life experience, Naruto has done a lot of research on the Fourth Hokage and his wife, consciously or unconsciously.

 Because he wanted to know what kind of people his parents were.

 Among them, the most important information comes from the Nine Tails in Naruto's body.

From Kyuubi's mouth, Naruto learned the specific circumstances of the night he was born, that is, during the Kyuubi Rebellion.

 Including Kushina's use of King Kong Blockade to suppress Kyuubi, and then Namikaze Minato took the opportunity to use Ghoul Seal, sealing his soul together with half of Kyuubi's chakra in the stomach of the Shinigami.

Hence Naruto knew that his father's soul was swallowed by the God of Death and was not in the Pure Land, so he could not be reincarnated and resurrected by the Dirty Land.

 This is why the fourth generation did not appear in Konoha with the first and second generations.

Ghoul Seal and King Kong Seal are both sealing techniques of the Uzumaki clan. They are abilities engraved in Naruto's blood. After some exploration, he has mastered them without any teacher.

and.

Naruto is currently using the power of the Samsara Eye to find a way to break the corpse seal.

Once successful, he can not only resurrect his father Namikaze Minato, but also help Nine-Tails retrieve the other half of its chakra, thereby making himself a truly perfect Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki.

 Naruto is determined to win this.

"I see."

 Konan suddenly realized, and finally understood why Naruto was not anxious.

 She has great confidence in Naruto.

 After all, Naruto's Rinnegan can control even the King of Hell, and even a mere Death God seems to be no problem.

"but…"

Naruto suddenly changed the topic and his face became slightly serious, "The first and second generations failed to invade Konoha this time. The Konoha government-in-exile headed by Sarutobi Hiruzen will definitely not be resigned to it, and there will definitely be follow-up actions. In addition, I don’t know what’s going on, but my reincarnation eye has been beating inexplicably since just now…”

"Are you okay, Naruto? Are you too tired recently and haven't had a good rest?"

 Konan asked with concern, because she also noticed that Naruto's eyes kept beating out of his control.

 This situation has never happened before.

 “It must be because I haven’t been sleeping well recently, haha.”

Naruto laughed and didn't pay too much attention to this matter, or in other words, he didn't want Konan to worry about him.

But in fact.

 Naruto already had some ominous premonitions in his heart.

 Because he could vaguely notice that the samsara eyes in his eyes seemed to suddenly become restless, as if they couldn't wait to leave him.

 Return to their true owners.

  Could it be that...that guy Uchiha Madara has also been resurrected?

"Naruto, what's wrong with you? What are you thinking about?" Konan's call brought Naruto back to reality from his meditation.

 “Oh, nothing.”

Naruto pretended to smile relaxedly, and then said with a solemn look, "I just had a hunch that something big is going to happen in the ninja world. Maybe hiding here all the time is not an option. I should go to Konoha to avoid being in trouble all the time. Being passive, we missed the opportunity to counterattack Uchiha Dan."

Hearing this, Konan was silent for a moment. Instead of trying to dissuade Naruto, he took the initiative to speak:

 “Then I will prepare a sacrifice for you using the art of turning the elephant.”

 “No need, Teacher Xiaonan.”

　　Naruto interrupted Konan, with determination on his face, "This time, I don't plan to use a clone, but go in person."

What? !

Xiaonan was suddenly startled and his eyes widened.

 Next, Naruto explained his thoughts:

"Don't worry about me. I know that Uchiha is very powerful and will not rush into Konoha. Don't forget, Gaara has already sneaked into Konoha first. When the time comes, he will cooperate with me inside and outside. I will observe the situation clearly. Wait for the opportunity to move again.

 Taking a step back, even if I am targeted by Uchiha Dan, I will prepare a way to escape.

 Everyone has the samsara eye. I really want to leave, but he can’t keep me. "

Xiao Nan is indeed worried.

But then I thought about it, compared to Nagato, who had disabled legs and had difficulty moving, Naruto was already far better than him, so I should have some confidence in him.

 So, she nodded and said to Naruto:

　　"Okay, I'll go with you, just like last time, and use my God's Paper Skill to cover you."

 However, what Xiaonan didn’t expect was.

"No, it's more convenient for me to move alone." Naruto actually rejected her proposal.

 Konan couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. After coming back to his senses, he looked at Naruto with a faint look: "You want to say that if I go, I will only become a burden to you, right?"

"Uh, that's not what I meant." Naruto waved his hands quickly, sweat dripping from his forehead.

 Just when he was racking his brains, thinking of how to explain.

"well."

Konan shook his head, then sighed and said, "That's all. In fact, you are right. Nagato stayed alone to cover my retreat, which ultimately led to his death at the hands of Uchiha Dan. .”

"Teacher Xiaonan, that's not the case. Don't blame yourself too much..." Naruto frowned and comforted Xiaonan.

Xonan's eyes flickered and she looked directly at Naruto:

"Needless to say, since you have made up your mind, be careful with yourself. I only want you to promise me one thing, that is, no matter what happens, you will come back safely. I will always wait for you here."

"…good."

 Naruto nodded heavily.

"This is for you." Konan took out another paper crane from his sleeve and put it into the clothes on Naruto's chest, hoping that the paper crane with his blessings on it would bless him smoothly.

 “Teacher Xiaonan…”

Naruto suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed Konan's wrist, with something inexplicable in his eyes.

 Facing his burning eyes.

"Naruto…"

 Konan was stunned for a moment, then his heart beat rapidly and he turned his head away in panic, not daring to look directly into Naruto's eyes.

 “I’m sorry, I lost my temper.”

　　Naruto let go of his hand, his expression awkward and guilty. For so many years, Teacher Xiaonan has been like his mother, taking care of him and teaching him. How could he...

 That’s ridiculous.

 After bidding farewell to Konan, Naruto hurriedly left Akatsuki's base.

 Three days later, Konoha.

 The Chunin Examination has always been an important occasion for major ninja villages to observe their national strength.

And this time the Chunin Exam, held by Konoha as the host, was the most grand in history. The number of participants and the scale set a record, and it far exceeded previous exams.

 Except for Konoha, a neutral ninja village.

Since the end of the Fourth Ninja World War, the four major ninja villages have been recovering from the war for eight years, and all kinds of geniuses have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.

 Just passed this exam and let’s compete.

Which ninja village has the most people who passed the exam will show whose overall strength is stronger. The results speak for themselves clearly, and no one is dissatisfied.

Of course, apart from the number of people who will be promoted to Chunin, the biggest suspense is who will beat more than a thousand contestants and get the first place in the Chunin exam.

 This is the thing that countless viewers from major ninja villages and ninja circles are most concerned about.

 After all, in the world of ninjas, genius can always attract the most attention, receive the most praise and admiration.

 Just like the previous jounin exam.

 Uchiha Sasuke overcame all his competitors to win the championship. He was not only hailed as the number one genius in Konoha, but was even considered by many to be the number one genius in the ninja world.

Sasuke's reputation in the ninja world is now as good as that of those strong men who have been famous for a long time. It can be said that his fame is unlimited.

As for the genin participating this time, almost everyone wants to become the next Uchiha Sasuke, become famous in the competition, and soar to the sky.

 It can be foreseen that the intensity of this Chunin Exam will be unprecedented.

　　Before the competition even started, more than a dozen conflicts had already broken out among the genin of major ninja villages. As a result, some unlucky ones were disqualified from taking the exam and sadly were eliminated early.

In addition to physical conflicts, intelligence wars in major ninja villages are also going on in full swing in secret.

 Among the contestants this time, the one who received the most attention was undoubtedly Konoha's top seed Marisa.

 The daughter of the Sixth Hokage Uchiha Dan, this identity alone is enough to make everyone focus on her.

Marissa herself is also very impressive. At the age of only eight, she conquered all the Konoha Ninja School and became known as the eldest sister. Even some Jonin students were defeated by her.

With the aura of the host, great strength, and the strongest father in the ninja world behind him -

 Marissa is obviously aiming directly for the championship in this competition. Who else would she be?

but.

 The other contestants in the Ninja Village will not let Marissa and watch her perform alone. Instead, they are all ambitious and want to step on Marissa and win the championship.

 Many people have obtained information about Marisa, studied her abilities and moves, and came up with various countermeasures.

 Marissa’s road to winning the championship was definitely not easy.

finally.

 After a period of careful preparations, the much-anticipated Chunin Examination has slowly begun.

 Since there are more than a thousand contestants, the competition system is even more cruel.

 Because as soon as they came up, one-third of the contestants were eliminated in the first round of written examinations, and a full 400 people were eliminated. Even the top favorite Marissa almost fell over.

 Obviously, Marisa and her father Uchiha Dan are the same type of ninja, good at using fists but not good at writing test papers.

 Fortunately.

Marissa crammed before the exam and crammed in some cultural knowledge. She finally passed the test, otherwise she might have turned into a big joke.

In the subsequent second round of exams, the remaining 700 contestants will work as a group to travel through the vast forest of death and seize the scrolls in the hands of other groups. Only when they finally reach the high tower in the center of the forest can they pass the test.

 Start to get serious and engage in actual combat.

This round of exams is destined to be even more cruel, and bloodshed is almost inevitable.

Perhaps it was a bad start that made Marissa hold her breath and focus on regaining her position.

 Sure enough.

She shined in this round. She actually didn't team up with anyone and chose to act alone. With a pair of iron fists, she swept through all the people in her way and collected a lot of scrolls.

 The last one to reach the tall tower in the center of the forest.

 After a cruel selection process, more than half of the candidates were eliminated in the second round of examination, leaving less than 200 contestants.

 These two hundred lucky people were all promoted to chunin.

 It stands to reason that the Chunin Examination is almost over at this point.

 But the next third round of exams is the real highlight, because it is conducted in a one-on-one battle and will determine the real best among the contestants.

Since these two hundred people have been promoted to chunin, everyone no longer has worries and can let go and fight with all their strength.

Not only to bring glory to his own village, but also to compete for the reputation of that genius.

 Many capable people chose to deliberately let go in the first two rounds of exams, recuperate their strength, and observe their opponents.

 Just waiting for this last scene to be a blockbuster.

 Soon, the preliminary rounds of the third round of exams began.

 Based on the comprehensive scores of the first two rounds of exams, two hundred chuunin were divided into different groups to fight against each other and eliminate the fittest.

 After another three days of fierce competition, eight chunin finally stood out from all the contestants and were promoted to the top eight in this exam.

 Today is Saturday, and the eight-to-four match will be held.

It is worth mentioning that starting from the quarterfinals, the competition venue was moved to Konoha's newly built large stadium, which can accommodate 100,000 spectators.

In addition, there are hundreds of cameras set up inside and outside the stadium, which will broadcast the entire quarterfinals and broadcast them to thousands of households in the entire ninja world.

Just from the royalties from the TV broadcast, Konoha made a huge profit.

 The stadium was full of people and seats were packed.

The audience was enthusiastic and the noise reached the sky.

Tickets for the competition have been sold out early, and some scalpers even sold the tickets for the final day to hundreds of thousands of taels each, but demand still exceeds supply.

 It is enough to show how popular this Chunin Exam is.

 At the highest stand, including the Sixth Hokage Dan, all the Kages of the five major ninja villages were present. In addition, famous figures from various countries also appeared in the stands, ready to enjoy this upcoming visual feast.

 Finally, the quarter-finals officially began with much attention.

 The first person to appear was Marissa.

"Look, she is the daughter of Uchiha Dan, the number one person in the ninja world and the Sixth Hokage. Like father, like daughter. Marisa's appearance and muscles are exactly the same as her father's."

“But is she really only eight years old? Even among the strong adult ninjas in Yunying Village, few are stronger than Marissa. How did she develop such a figure at the age of eight?”

 “Stop chatting, the game has begun.”

Amid the chatter of 100,000 viewers, Marissa ushered in her opponent—

A 16-year-old Kirigakure genius who looks like a fish. At first glance, he looks like an unusual type of genius.

“Marissa, I didn’t expect that my opponent would be you. It seems like today is my lucky day.”

The Kirigakure genius started provoking words in an attempt to anger Marisa and influence her mentality, "You know, those opponents in front of you are too weak. You will soon understand that I am not on the same level as them. Be prepared to kneel down and beg for mercy.”

 After speaking, he grinned, revealing two rows of sharp white teeth.

“It’s a good idea to kneel down and beg for mercy.”

Marissa's eyes lit up, revealing two rows of whiter teeth, her smile was brighter than the other person's, and she said, "I have decided, if you don't do this later, my fist will not stop until I’ll beat you to death.”

 Say the harshest words in the most innocent and simple tone.

　　唰.

When the Kirigakure genius heard this, his expression suddenly changed. Instead, he was intimidated by Marisa's aura and felt fear in his heart.

at this time.

"start!"

The referee gave the order and blew the whistle to start the game.
