Chapter 253 The Preliminaries Are Over, And The Entire Ninja World Can't Sleep Anymore!
Chapter 253 The Preliminaries Are Over, And The Entire Ninja World Can't Sleep Anymore!
The preliminaries are officially over.
The result exceeded many people's expectations.
A total of fifteen qualified candidates, thirteen of them are Konoha Village ninjas!
The remaining two qualifiers are Temari and Kankuro from Sunagakure.
All contestants from other ninja villages were annihilated!
The people in Konoha were naturally very satisfied with the result, and returned home happily.
But the other people in Ninja Village were naturally full of thoughts about this result, and returned to the guest house with a sad face.
Even Sunagakure, which has two qualifiers, is the same.
Because Luo Sha knew that after Gaara failed, relying on Temari and Kankuro would not be effective at all.
As a result, the chiefs of Ninja Village, who had their own ghosts when they came, all looked sad when they returned.
In the room at the Rain Shinobi Village reception.
Qianshi Guisame looked at the silent crowd, and asked first.
"What do we do next?"
"Continue to stay, or go back as soon as possible?"
Kakuzu said with a frown.
"Is there any need to stay?"
"Staying around is just a waste of time."
"With this time, I might as well pick up some more missions on the black market.
"I'm in charge of the organization's finances."
As he spoke, Kakuzu looked at everyone with unkind eyes.
It's just this group of people who don't understand how hard it is for him to make money, and waste precious money recklessly!
Sometimes Kakuzu even wants to leave the group!
It's so bullying!
Konan spoke up.
"If you stay, you can continue to observe Naruto's strength, but you don't need everyone to be present.
"I suggest that those who have something to do can leave first, leaving only a few people..."
"Everyone stay."
Penn interrupted Konan, who said after scanning everyone with his indifferent eyes.
"This is a rare opportunity to watch Naruto fight up close."
"Different from the preliminaries, in the main competition, Naruto will have to fight several times until the end, which means that he will probably expose more things!"
"This is very important to us, and through your different perspectives, you may be able to discover Naruto's weaknesses."
When Payne spoke, others naturally couldn't refute.
Although Kakuzu felt that Payne was just bullying.
But Kakuzu just curled his lips and didn't resist.
After all, you can't beat it.
Then Payne looked to Uchiha Itachi.
"And I have a hunch that Naruto will definitely show more this time around.
Itachi frowned slightly, not understanding why Payne looked at him.
But after a little thought, Itachi understood.
Payne should think that Sasuke can inspire more cards from Naruto!
And itachi thinks so too.
Because Sasuke awakened Mangekyō!
For a Uchiha ninja, the gap between the awakened Mangekyō and the unawakened is very huge.
Like Obito, who is obviously just a Chūnin with common qualifications, but after awakening Mangekyō, he can easily kill many powerful ninjas from the Kirigakure assassination team.
Shisui's Distinguished Heavenly Gods is known as the strongest illusion, directly modifying cognition!
Itachi's own Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi are also very powerful pupil techniques.
Although Itachi only saw Sasuke's Amaterasu, the other eye's ability did not see.
However, with Mangekyō, it not only means that Sasuke's pupil power has been greatly improved, but also has been greatly enhanced in actual combat.
Kisame Kisame touched Itachi's arm and said softly.
"It seems that Payne is very optimistic about your brother~々.
Dried persimmon ghost shark also saw it.
Although it seems careless, Hoshigaki Kisame is not a fool.
Payne was so obvious, everyone else noticed.
But they also have to admit.
Among all the passers-by, only the strength shown by Sasuke made them afraid.
Others such as Ya, Xiao Li, Neji, etc., although they are also very powerful, they are only the power of Common after all, without unique characteristics.
You nodded lightly, but didn't reply.
Looking up, Payne had already withdrawn his gaze.
"In these three days, I will definitely be responsible for collecting intelligence, but be careful not to be discovered.
"Three days later, we will watch the main match."
"If the people in the five great ninja villages want to cause some damage, we may be able to take advantage of the chaos.
"But if the people in the Five Great Ninja Villages are honest, we will definitely not be able to stand out.
"Ensuring the existence of our Xiao organization is the most important thing."
"Before the final plan begins!"
"clear!"
Everyone answered in unison.
The second floor of the Iwagakure guest house next door.
A large room was brightly lit.
Onoki sat on the chair, leaning on his chin with his hands, his face full of pain.
Huang Tu on the side wanted to say something but dared not say it, for fear of being scolded by his father.
After all, Onoki looked in a bad mood when he saw it.
Black soil is not there.
After all, what Ohnoki wanted to talk about was not a good thing, so naturally he couldn't let his precious granddaughter hear it.
So I sent Black Soil early to rest.
The people in the room are all the Jōnins who came with the team this time.
When we came, there were about a hundred people in the whole team.
As a result, a large number of contestants died directly in the death forest, and now the number of players has dropped by two-thirds.
It seemed that the guest house was empty.
"D..."
Onoki sighed heavily, and everyone in the room immediately raised their hearts.
"Father... Master Tsuchikage, what should we do next?"
After Huang Tu changed his tune, he said worriedly.
"This time we took the Chūnin exam, it can be said to be a heavy loss."
"Although most of the Genin teams are just used to make up the numbers, but so many sacrifices at the same time, there will be no pensions at that time...
When Ohnoki heard this, his face became even more sad.
"What do you think should be done?"
Onoki raised his head and looked at each of them.
"You can be regarded as the high-level people in the village, can you all talk about your own ideas?"
All the Jōnins looked at each other, feeling a little apprehensive.
Although there are many things they want to say, they don't know where to start.
Onoki looked at it, and simply raised his head.
"Let's talk about the issue of staying first."
"How many are in favor of leaving and how many are in favor of staying?"
"If you want to leave, raise your hand and let me see."
After a brief silence, several arms slowly raised up.
Onoki glanced at it, nodded expressionlessly and said.
"A total of five people want to leave, do you think this is the right time to leave?"
As one of the representatives of the Leaving faction, Huang Tu hesitated for a moment, then stood up and said.
"Master Tsuchikage, is it necessary for us to stay now?"
"In itself, we are just here to observe the situation, there is no plan for Naruto at all."
"Now that it's the race that everyone is looking forward to, there is no chance."
"Instead of staying here, it's better to go back and think about targeted matchmaking.
Onoki nodded, and then looked at the party that didn't raise his hand.
"What's your reason?"
Wen Ya, who stood at the front, hesitated for a moment, then said.
"Master Tsuchikage, I think it is necessary to stay."
"Although Uzumaki Naruto showed great quality, I don't think that's all!"
"Uzumaki Naruto must have hidden powers!"
"And this Chūnin exam is the best opportunity to observe, we must not miss it!'
Onoki nodded, noncommittal.
The room suddenly fell into silence.
In fact.
Ohnoki is not inclined to leave either.
After all, it's all here.
If there were only so many harvests, then the sacrifices of those participating Genins in the village would be too much.
Dozens of Genin died here, and even Iwagakure, one of the Five Great Ninja Villages, couldn't accept it.
If you can't bring back enough things, there will definitely be some ugly noises in the village after you go back.
This is something Ohnoki doesn't want to face.
But staying still has to face a possibility.
If Naruto hadn't continued to reveal more of his hidden powers, it would have been a waste of time for them to stay.
It's a gamble.
The decision is in Onoki's hands.
After long consideration.
Onoki made a decision.
""||Stay here. "
boom!
The window was slammed shut.
Obito sat in a chair, frowning.
Yagura, under the control of Obito, stood obediently aside while closing the window.
There was no one else in the room except the two of them.
At this time, a pitcher plant secretly appeared on the ground.
Obito glanced at it, then looked away.
The pitcher plant opened up, revealing the inside.
Obito said lightly.
"How's the situation over there?"
Black Zetsu's hoarse voice reached Obito's ears.
"Payne intends to stay and continue to observe."
Obito nodded.
"This is truly a rare opportunity."
"If you can use this to find a way to deal with Naruto, it will be a worthwhile trip. (Zhao Wang Zhao"
"but...……"
"But it's not absolute."
Black Zetsu picked up Obito's words.
"Although those little ghosts of Konoha are very strong, even surpassing the average Jōnin.
"But I doubt they will be able to use their full strength.
Obito nodded silently.
What Black Zetsu said was exactly what Obito was worried about.
After all, the only contestants in the main competition are Konoha.
You said Temari and Kankuro?
Just relying on the strength of these two people, they can't make any waves at all.
"Are you going to stay?"
asked Black Zetsu.
Obito hesitated and didn't answer immediately.
Because Obito himself was hesitant.
In fact, it is enough for people from Akatsuki to stay here to observe Naruto.
Obito didn't have to stay.
But if he didn't see it with his own eyes, Obito couldn't be relieved anyway.
After hesitating for a while, he sighed and said.
"I'd better stay."
"Some things, I can rest assured only after seeing them with my own eyes."
Black Zetsu nodded.
"Then I'll leave first."
"Also, someone will come to Lu in ten seconds."
Saying that, Jue quickly drilled into the ground and disappeared.
Obito immediately controls Yagura to sit on the bed while he hides himself.
Tuk tuk.
There was a knock on the door.
"Mizukage-sama, are you asleep?".
