Chapter 448 Chunin Exam Opening (3)

In the open woods, with a head of straight black hair, a boy about thirteen or fourteen years old opened a pair of almost pure white eyes, scanning everything in the woods, and making careful observations.

Compared to the offensive pupil technique of Sharingan, the function of Baiyan is more inclined to assist.

Possessing far-sightedness, perspective, insight, and even the ability to finely control one's own chakra are not moves that directly attack the enemy, but require their own cooperation to maximize the functionality of Baiyan.

"1,100 meters...Barely exceeds the observation range of one kilometer..."

Ningci saw his own white eyes. With the increase of Chakra, he could only observe a place 1,100 meters away from him.

But this doesn't mean that Neji can react from such a far away place.

Because as the observation distance increases, once multiple enemies appear, it will place a great burden on the brain's thinking.

With his current ability, if the enemy approaches him within a radius of 50 meters, he can effectively detect the enemy's attack trajectory and respond in advance.

If it exceeds this distance, it will become very difficult to defend against the enemy's attack.

But the enemy who can attack from fifty meters away, this kind of ninja should be a very rare ultrlong-range ninja in the ninja world.

Ninjas like this are not so easy to come across.

Especially at the stage of ninjutsu, the ninjas at this stage are just starting out, and the combat systems of body, illusion, and ninjutsu have not yet been fully formed, and Baiyan can play a greater advantage.

Avoid sneak attacks. Even if illusions and ninjutsu are activated, Baiyan can identify the type of the technique according to the flow of chakra in the opponent's body and dodge in advance.

And if it is a competition of physical skills, the ninja of the Hyuga clan with white eyes will not be afraid of the enemy's hand-to-hand combat.

"Well"

Ning Ci suddenly felt a pain in his eyes, and couldn't help closing his eyes. When he opened them again, the veins around his eyes calmed down, and his eyes returned to normal.

"It seems that there are some risks in extreme distance viewing. It seems that the maximum observation distance in the future should be adjusted to a range of one kilometer."

For a ninja, having a visual range of 1,000 meters is already a terrifying assistance ability.

Reducing or increasing the visual range of 100 meters will not affect Neci's own strength.

"Ningci!"

He heard the voice of someone calling him, and Neji turned his head to look.

A man and a woman came towards each other.

is my teammate Tian Tian, and Li Rock.

These two people are the same age as him, thirteen years old. Compared with this year's rookies, the three of them have been in the ninja stage for more than a year. Needless to say, he has completed many D-level tasks, and he has also completed a lot of C-level tasks. The level of experience is not comparable to that of a novice.

Tiantian is a cute girl wearing a pink sleeveless cheongsam and bun hair.

It is said that the family opened a traditional ninja shop, selling kunai, shuriken, detonating charms, ninja swords and other ninja tools. Although in recent years the traditional arms business has been impacted by the new arms of Oni Land, traditional ninja tools have not been completely abandoned and still occupy a large share in the arms market, but they are not as good as before.

Rock Lee is relatively simple.

Typical civilian background, with watermelon hair, thick eyebrows and round eyes, the image is not ugly, but it always gives people a very strange feeling. Especially wearing a green tights, that feeling is even stronger.

He is good at physical arts, and does not know illusion and ninjutsu, but Chakra is a very powerful category compared to lower ninjutsu.

Thanks to this, the future path is already very clearspecialize in the skill of body art.

Another point is that he is a hot-blooded fool, who often says words like 'youth' and 'hot blood' in his mouth, and then looks for himself to compete.

Although every time it ended in a fiasco, Neji recalled this perseverance and tenacity, not because of the other party's tenacity, but as a headache.

He is not a fighting fanatic, and he will not be excited to compete with others just because someone challenges him.

"Ningji, come and compete with me today!"

Before Ning Ci opened his mouth, Locke Li, who followed Tiantian, had already clenched his fists, his eyes gleaming with fierce fighting intent, hoping to vent the energy that could not be released in his body through a hearty battle.

"...Didn't I say that I'm not interested in those who lose to me. Even though you've worked hard, the gap between us hasn't started to narrow. No matter how you fight or what tactics you use now, it's hard to escape my white eyes."

Ningci sighed in his heart, but he still responded patiently and calmly.

It is a very dangerous behavior to fall into the observation range of the white eyes.

Especially for ninjas like Xiao Li who can't perceive and don't have the ability to attack remotely.

Whether it is a physical combat or a more realistic tug of war, Xiao Li is at an extreme disadvantage. This is an indisputable fact.

"That is to say, Li, in the competition with Neji, you have never won. Even if you want to challenge Neji, you have to become stronger, don't you?"

Tiantian also began to join in. In her impression, the battle between the two ended in Ningci's victory every time.

Compared to many ninjas, maybe Xiao Li's strength is already considered very powerful. Because of his specialization in taijutsu, Xiao Li's speed was very fast, and the ninjas who fought with him were basically knocked down before they could release their ninjutsu.

But this is of no use to Neji.

Ning Ci's neural response ability is no worse than that of Xiao Li, and with Bai Yan's blood inheritance limit, Xiao Li can't be faster than Bai Yan's investigation, unless Xiao Li's speed can surpass Ning Ci's neural response ability, making Ning Ci's body unable to respond.

Otherwise, once a physical combat starts, the acupoints will be tapped by the soft fist and the chakras of the whole body will be blocked, leaving only the defeat.

"Is that so? But I think I am stronger now than I was a while ago..."

"So, what about the duel later, Lee?"

Before Xiao Li finished speaking, a thick adult male voice suddenly came from behind.

"Teacher Kai!?"

Seeing the adult male suddenly appearing behind Xiao Li, Tian Tian was taken aback, but quickly realized that this was their guide, Shangren Maitekai.

The image is as weird as Xiao Li, with watermelon hair, big eyes and thick eyebrows, and a Konoha Jnin uniform on a green tights, like a kappa.

Even so, Tiantian has respect for each other.

Although he doesn't look good, he is a junin with ridiculously strong physical skills. In addition, the other party is also good at ninja fighting, and usually gives her a lot of advice, which makes her grow rapidly.

"Hmph, I can finally be quiet."

Seeing Kai appear, Ning Ci knew that this competition would be impossible, and he was not in the mood to compete with Xiao Li in physical skills. Anyway, no matter how he fights, he will win. As a genius of the Hyuga clan, he is not very interested in this kind of battle where the result can be seen at a glance.

"But, Teacher Kai..."

Xiao Li seemed to want to say something, but Kai stopped him.

"Li, don't worry, I'm here this time to bring you great news!"

Kai patted Xiao Li on the shoulder, signaling him to be quiet.

"Extremely good news?"

Ning Ci tilted his head. Although the expression on his face was still indifferent, the fluctuation in his eyes proved that he had also developed a little interest in Kai's words.

"Uh...Could it be that some strange battle suit was invented again, let us try it on?"

With cold sweat running down his face every day, he took a step back.

She respects her mentor Jonin, but it doesn't mean that she has to obey the other party's strange orders.

For example, uniformly put on the green tight combat uniform... It made her feel extremely repulsed in her heart.

"Although this is good news, unfortunately, the good news this time has nothing to do with this."

Kay laughed.

"What is that, Teacher Kai?"

Curiosity flashed in Tiantian Shuiling's eyes.

Kai snorted, and under the curious eyes of the three, he finally spoke:

"That's the middle of next month... the Chunin Exam will be held!"

Sure enough, the expressions in the eyes of the three people who heard the news instantly changed. They were excited, excited, looking forward... except that there was no fear.

You must know that the three of them have been preparing for this day for a long time.

Originally they planned to shine in the Chunin Exam in July this year. As a result, I got the news that the Chunin Exam was postponed. I thought that this year's Chunin Exam would be cancelled, but I didn't expect it to be held again at this time. It is a blessing in misfortune.

"Not only that, this time the Chunin exam is not held by Konoha alone."

Kay's bared teeth gleamed.

"Um?"

The three of Ningci suddenly raised their heads.

"What does this mean, Mr. Kai?"

Xiao Li doesn't seem to be able to react yet.

"It's not our Konoha holding it... In other words, there are other villages who will participate, right?"

As a girl, Tian Tian has a delicate and sensitive personality, as if she guessed something.

"That's right, the Chunin Exam held in mid-September is a Chunin Exam jointly held by various countries. Not only Konoha, but also ninjas from the six major countries will participate, and ninja villages in small countries will not miss this feast. You should know what this means, right?"

Kai rubbed his chin and asked knowingly.

"Is that so..."

Ning Ci smiled, closed his eyes, clenched his fists slightly by his side, feeling very uneasy.

Thinking that all the elite ninjas from various countries in the ninja world will gather together to participate in this Chunin exam, even he is a little bit excited.

"Chunin Exam!?"

Kakashi found Sasuke, Naruto, and Sakura who were practicing in the woods, and talked about the joint Chunin exams to be held in mid-September.

Sure enough, Naruto, who had the most out-of-the-ordinary personality, started yelling.

But this is also a matter of course. Even a slow-minded guy like Naruto knows what the Chunin Exam means to the Geninbecoming a Chunin.

Only by becoming a Chunin can one advance to the Upper Ninja and become a Junin. Afterwards, if one gains a huge network among the Jnin and one's own strength is recognized by others, one can be selected as a Hokage candidate.

Hokage is selected from the elite of Jonin.

Chunin is the first hurdle on the road to become Hokage.

Although it is too early for Naruto to think about these things now, it does not hinder his beautiful fantasies about such things.

The whole person seems to be erratic, caught in an inextricable self-imagining.

Kakashi did not disturb Naruto's fantasy, and asked directly:

"That's right, this time is the joint Chunin exam of various countries. It is different from the Chunin exam held by our own in previous years, especially in terms of difficulty. Therefore, I would like to ask the three of you what you think. Do you refuse...or agree to participate?"

Compared to Sasuke with an indifferent face, and Naruto who couldn't help but stare at him, Sakura was the only one who was seriously thinking about the pros and cons, with a hint of worry in her eyes.

Although she has cultivated 'strange power' these days, the effect is not very good, not even the level of the first glimpse.

At most, in the ninja battle, he barely has the ability to protect himself. But whether this level can pass the selection of the Chunin Exam is unknown to Sakura.

"Mr. Kakashi, I want to ask, are the ninjas in other countries very good?"

Sakura hesitated and asked.

"Hmm... This question, to be honest, I'm not very clear about it. But if we talk about our Konoha side, there are indeed many excellent seedlings among the ninja. By analogy, the situation in all countries should be similar."

Kakashi said in a pertinent manner.

Even for him, it is difficult to grasp all the situations of the ninjas in various countries. There will always be some outstanding ninjas, which are hidden by his own ninja village, and will not be activated until the critical time.

Because of the existence of genius, it is only valuable when it grows up.

A genius who died young is just a genius, and has no value that can be used.

All countries have the same attitude towards genius ninjas from enemy countries.

If it can be eliminated, it should be eliminated as soon as possible, without giving the other party a chance to grow up.

"Does Mr. Kakashi think we should participate?"

Sakura asked again.

"With the strength of the three of you, you are not considered weak among ninjas. If you are careful, you should have a high probability of passing the exam. From my point of view, I hope you will participate. Regardless of whether you succeed or not, this is a valuable experience in your ninja career. There is a saying, the most important thing is to participate."

In Kakashi's view, the three of Sasuke have the strength.

Even the weakest Sakura, under his teaching, has an average level of ninja. This strength is no longer at the bottom among Genin.

But what the three of them lacked was the accumulation of experience. Unlike those Genin who have been in the Genin stage for two, three years or even longer, Sasuke, Naruto, and Sakura have only been Genin for half a year, and there is no need for him to guide the Genin in terms of strength.

But experience is sometimes very vaguely defined, and there is no shortcut. It is to hone yourself and deepen your control over ninja power by fighting different enemies.

"There is no need to hesitate about such things, Sakura, the three of us will definitely become Chunin!"

Different from Sakura, who was looking forward and backward, Naruto seemed careless and didn't know what to be afraid of.

He just feels excited now, hoping to meet more powerful ninjas in the exam.

"Naruto, don't make decisions for others casually. Although the three of you are usually a whole, sometimes public and private needs to be distinguished."

The Chunin Exam is not only a test for the team, but also a test for individuals.

Sakura is really worried about her lack of confidence in her own strength.

In fact, in previous years, the chunin exams were not recommended for newbies who were less than a year old to take part.

Sakura's concern is a normal person's reaction. Because of their excellent strength, Sasuke and Naruto can ignore such concerns, and cannot be used as a general situation for reference.

"Well, Mr. Kakashi, I want to ask, what will happen if I quit?"

Sakura asked.

"Well, either let Sasuke and Naruto take the exam, or send a ninja from another place to temporarily join the seventh class as a companion of Sasuke and Naruto."

Kakashi told the truth.

Because among the rookies, Sasuke and Naruto are very strong, and they can show the power of Konoha's new generation to other countries to get more attention.

This is related to the follow-up development of Ninja Village. All ninjas with excellent strength are not allowed to miss this joint Chunin exam unless it is an extremely special situation.

"I see, I choose to participate."

Sakura took a deep breath and made up her mind.

"sure?"

Kakashi glanced at Sakura.

Sakura nodded firmly again, although she was still a little apprehensive, the hesitation in her eyes disappeared.

Kakashi nodded secretly. If Sakura refuses to participate, disappointment is not counted. As long as Sakura walks on the road of medical ninja, sooner or later, she will shine brightly one day. But it will be very difficult to follow the path of the ninja.

The concept of mentality is very vague, but in many cases it can truly reflect the quality of a ninja.

"It must be the same for you."

Kakashi swept towards Sasuke and Naruto.

Sasuke and Naruto looked at each other, and nodded in unison, the meaning is self-evident. Unlike Sakura, the two of them quite recognized their strength.

Kakashi smiled, as if he was also very happy.

He gave Sasuke and Naruto a meaningful look, and said: "Then, you can look forward to this Chunin exam. Maybe you will encounter your own clan there and fall into a hard fight. Remember to be careful when you meet those people, and don't be careless when you meet those people."

Naruto looked confused, clansman? What tribe?

On the contrary, there was a gleam in Sasuke's eyes, and he clenched his fists tightly, as if he had guessed something.

"Ha... ha... finally got rid of it..."

Leaning his back against the tree trunk, the monocle that he was wearing originally slipped off his face and fell to the side due to the fierce battle.

Asuka felt as if his body had been drained of strength, and it became extremely difficult to even lift his fingers, so he could only lean back against the tree and pant hard. Whether it is physical strength or chakra, they are in a state of almost bottoming out.

Compared to the state of the flying bird, Xianglin's state at the moment is not very good. The whole person is lying on the ground with the word "big" on his back. There is a deep **** mouth cut by a sharp knife on his abdomen. A green light source is condensed on his right hand.

The only better state is Cai.

Although he was not completely intact, compared to Asuka, who had almost exhausted his physical strength and chakra, and Xiang Rin, whose abdomen was severely injured, only the clothes on his right arm were soaked in blood, dripping blood continuously, and he could still stand upright.

Using his still movable left hand, he took out a roll of medical bandages from the ninja bag, bit it with his mouth, tore out a long bandage, and then skillfully wrapped it around the wound on his right arm that was bleeding continuously. Judging from Cai's proficient movements, the simple treatment of wounds for herself is already familiar with it, and she doesn't feel unfamiliar.

"Captain Asuka, Cai, are you two alright? I'll treat your wounds after I treat them..."

Ka Rin asked about Asuka and Aya's condition while healing the wound on her waist.

"I can still hold on here, but the chakra and physical strength are exhausted. Cai, do you have any extra military food pills?"

Asuka took a breath and asked Cai.

Cai nodded, took out the only remaining soldier food pill in the ninja bag, and threw it to Asuka.

Asuka reluctantly stretched out his hand to catch it, and swallowed the Bingliang Pill without being polite. The physical strength and chakra that were about to bottom out recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Although it is impossible to return to its full strength, it is enough for Asuka as long as he can maintain his body movement.

After absorbing Bingliangwan's energy, Asuka picked up the monocle that fell aside, put it back on, and leaned on the tree trunk to slowly stand up from the ground.

"Sure enough, it's still too much to deal with two Jonin at once..."

Asuka looked at the two unwilling corpses not far away, recalling the battle just now, he still had lingering fears.

Even if they took advantage of the right time, place, and people at the beginning, relying on perceptual ninjutsu and supercilious eyes for a day, they carried out various long-range sneak attacks, assassinations, and poisoning on the two junin, reducing the opponent's physical strength and chakra before starting to fight. That's it, they were almost killed by two weakened jounin.

Junin's combat power is not at the same level as that of Chunin.

The way to deal with Chunin will appear to be insufficiently prepared when dealing with Jnin.

Different from Chunin, most Jonin will fully develop their abilities. To be able to grow to the level of Jonin, Taijutsu, Illusion, and Ninjutsu are all handcrafted. Even the most shortcoming is out of reach for Chunin.

This point was fully exposed in the life-and-death battle with Jonin.

Just then, a few leaves fell down.

Asuka and the three turned their heads to look, and a figure appeared silently not far away. The other party glanced at the two corpses on the ground, and then fell on the Asuka and the three.

This man is none other than Uchiha Yan, the guide of the Asuka trio.

"Teacher Yan."

The Asuka trio walked up to Uchiha Yan in a distressed image.

"Well, the three of you have done a good job. Although the strength of these two jounin is a bit low in the ranks of junin, but you can join forces to kill them. The three of you seem to have not wasted time during this time."

For Uchiha Yan's praise, the three of them were only panting slightly, and they didn't have the energy to say anything unnecessary.

Even Cai is recovering her strength silently, trying not to speak if she can.

"Then your task is over, take a day off tomorrow, and leave early the next morning to return to the country of ghosts. Then prepare for the joint Chunin exam half a month later."

Uchiha Yan knew that the three of them were exhausted at the moment, so he didn't talk nonsense, and explained the situation in the shortest words.

"Is it already by this time?"

The three of Asuka were a little dazed, and then realized that it is already the end of August, and there is only about half a month left before the start of the joint Chunin exam.

"That's right, in short, the tasks of the past few months have worked hard for you. Then, for the next joint Chunin exam, I hope you can pass smoothly and become a Chunin."

Uchiha Yan said words of blessing.

"yes."

Asuka and the three nodded solemnly.

It has been less than half a year since they left the country of ghosts. For them who have never been away from home for such a long time, they also miss their family members in the country of ghosts.
