Chapter 51 Black-box Operation, Cruel World
Except for Yagyu, there were twenty-three candidates who passed the second exam.
Among these twenty-three people, only six are not Konoha ninjas, and the rest... are all Konoha genin!
The first is the Twelve Xiaoqiang, who occupy twelve places.
Because of Inuzuka Kiba, two of his teammates also passed the second exam, so there are fourteen places.
Kabuto Yakushi and his teammates were all undercover agents deployed by Orochimaru in Konoha, and they occupied three more spots.
The trio of sound ninjas had been killed by Yagyu, but there were still three sound ninjas in the sound ninja village who passed the second exam.
Obviously, in the past five days, Yakushi Kabuto had known about Toss's death and told Orochimaru.
These three sound ninjas were put in by Yakushi Kabuto or Orochimaru.
The purpose is to allow Orochimaru to appear here openly.
After all, the three sound ninjas did not come back to report. Orochimaru didn't know whether Uchiha Sasuke had used the power of the curse seal or whether he liked the gift he gave, so he came here specifically to see Uchiha Sasuke's reaction.
Twelve Xiaoqiang, Yagyu and Inuzuka Kiba's two teammates, Yakushi Kabuto and his teammates, and three Oto-nin and Gaara's three siblings... exactly twenty-four people!
"Ahem...I am the examiner of this exam, Moonlight Gale."
After Sarutobi Hiruzen finished his speech, Moonlight Hayate appeared with a form in hand. However, the dark circles under his eyes and his weak appearance made the candidates doubt his status as a Jonin.
Moonlight Hayate didn't pay attention to their eyes, but pointed to the big screen on the wall and said, "Your names will be displayed on the screen later, and then a random match will be conducted. The person whose name is displayed will stay, and the rest will go to the second Waiting in the stands.”
"Before the knockout rounds begin, I want to confirm, has any of you chosen to abstain?"
As soon as Moonlight Hayate finished speaking, Yakushi Kabuto, who was hiding in the crowd, stood up, raised his hand and said, "I choose to abstain!"
"Your name is... Kabuto Yakushi, I understand, you can leave."
Moonlight Hayate glanced at the form in his hand, then nodded, crossed out Yakushi Kabuto's name, and said: "If one person chooses to abstain, then..."
"I also abstain."
"Me too."
At this time, two sound ninjas suddenly stood up and also chose to abstain.
Seeing this scene, many jounin had strange expressions on their faces.
However, after seeing the bandages on the two sound ninjas, a flash of realization flashed across their bodies.
They didn't know much about this newly established village.
Judging from the appearance of these two sound ninjas, they should be very weak.
Being able to get here is their limit.
The abstention of the two sound ninja also helped Kabuto Yakushi draw a lot of attention.
"I understand, you can all leave."
Moonlight Hayate crossed out two names again and said: "Three people abstained. There are 21 remaining candidates, and one person will get a bye in the end."
"If no one abstains, then I will declare the elimination round to begin."
Moonlight Hayate deliberately waited for a few seconds. After seeing that no one gave up, he took out the walkie-talkie and informed the invigilator in the background: "Let's begin!"
Swish——
The big screen on the wall instantly lit up.
The names of Yagyu twenty-one appeared on the screen one after another.
After everyone's names were displayed, a huge VS appeared.
Names flashed on both sides of VS.
After a while, the two names were fixed, exactly——
Uchiha Sasuke VS Red Copper Armor!
Seeing these two names, Liu Sheng suddenly smiled inwardly.
They also said random matching, which is clearly a black-box operation.
If Uchiha Sasuke's name was not included in the first game, Yagyu might still think that the original work was just a coincidence. But now it is the same as the original work, indicating that Sarutobi Hiruzen deliberately arranged it in order to let Uchiha Sasuke go down and seal the curse seal of the sky as soon as possible.
"Uchiha Sasuke and Red Copper Armor are staying. Others please wait in the stands on the second floor."
As the sound of the moonlight blast fell, Yagyu and others walked up to the stands and came to the side of the instructing Jonin.
Yuhi Hong gave a thumbs up to Yagyu and the others again and said with a smile: "Well done. After this exam is over, the teacher will treat you to barbecue."
"Thanks to Hinata's Byakugan and Shino's bug, we don't need to look for the target and the central tower." Yagyu smiled.
Hinata smiled shyly, while Aburame Shino said calmly: "Yagyu's illusion is the key."
"No need to be modest, the three of you performed very well."
Kurenai Yuhi patted the shoulders of Yagyu and Aburame Shino, then put her arms around Hinata's shoulders and said with a smile: "Let's watch the game first to see the gap between you and others and understand the opponent's abilities in advance."
"yes."
The three Yagyu nodded in response, and then either stood or lay on the armrests of the stands, looking at Uchiha Sasuke and Red Copper Armor, who were looking at each other below.
Red Copper Armor is Kabuto Yakushi's teammate and one of Orochimaru's undercover agents placed in Konoha.
What a coincidence, Orochimaru's chess piece happened to match Uchiha Sasuke.
Liu Sheng couldn't help but smile to himself. As expected of master and apprentice, both of them participated in this match with a tacit understanding.
The fight started quickly but ended just as quickly.
Just like the original work, Uchiha Sasuke is temporarily unable to use the power of the Sharingan due to the curse seal, and can only fight with the red copper armor using the basics of the ninja school.
However, due to the chakra absorption of the red copper armor, Uchiha Sasuke, who was already weak due to the torture of the curse seal, was unable to defeat the red copper armor for a while.
Just when the curse seal was about to spread, Uchiha Sasuke actually suppressed the curse seal with his will and defeated the red copper armor with his self-created lion combo.
Apparently, Class 7 still met Matt Kaiban when they were in the complex, and were given a lecture by Xiao Li when they left the complex.
Seeing that Uchiha Sasuke defeated the red copper armor without using a curse seal, Orochimaru became even more greedy for this container.
After the battle, Uchiha Sasuke was taken away by Kakashi Hatake and went to the secret room to seal the seal.
Seeing this scene, Orochimaru also left quietly.
The screen flashed again, and the names of the second round of duels were quickly fixed.
Aburame Shino VS Takuto!
"It's over. My opponent is not Naruto. I will definitely be eliminated now."
The sound of wailing suddenly sounded from the stands on the other side.
I saw the civilian teammate next to Inuzuka Kiba holding his head in his hands and shouting.
Upon hearing this, Naruto immediately shouted dissatisfied: "Hey, what do you mean by this?"
Takuto did not respond to Naruto, but with the encouragement of Inuzuka Kiba and another female teammate, he bravely faced Shino Aburame.
The result of this battle was naturally that Aburame Shino won easily.
Unless a civilian ninja is favored by his mentoring Jonin, or is promoted to Chunin and gets investment from the village, or uses his merits to exchange for ninjutsu scrolls, it would be considered good if he could learn one or two ninjutsu from his mentoring Jonin in his life. .
Moreover, the amount of chakra civilian ninjas have is pitifully small.
The original Uchiha Sasuke only used a C-level fire escape and high fireball technique, which surprised Hatake Kakashi.
A civilian ninja doesn't even have the chakra to use C-level ninjutsu at this age.
Facing Aburame Shino, who has been trained by his family since he was a child and is able to use various insect secret techniques, Takuto was not killed instantly because Aburame Shino was letting him go.
This world where blood is supreme is so cruel!
