Become the mastermind behind the Akatsuki organization

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, half a month later, with the ringing of the bell, the third round of the Chuunin Exams officially began, and candidates stepped onto the ring one after another.

Compared with the first two exams, the third round of exams tests personal abilities.

The rule of thirty-two into sixteen and sixteen into eight makes this round of exam more like a competition rather than a real exam.

This is also true. The third round of Chunin is inherently performance-oriented, with the purpose of showing the strength of the younger generation, increasing the number of future commissions, and earning some ticket money by the way.

The actual examination to select Chunin was over after the second round.

However, those who participate in the Chunin exam are all young boys and girls. Who doesn't want to get a higher ranking in the Chunin exam and become the most dazzling star.

Therefore, during this half month, all the students who were promoted to the third round of the examination have been practicing seriously, looking forward to obtaining a better ranking in the third round of the arena competition.

In Class 7, Naruto learned the art of channeling from Jiraiya and successfully channeled the giant toad in Mount Miaomu. Although there was no qualitative leap in strength, he also received strong foreign aid.

Sasuke established a connection with Orochimaru and began to initially use the power of the curse seal.

They all thought that they were much better than before, enough to become the winner of the Chunin Exam.

Gaara's team also made a lot of preparations, but their goal has changed from passing the Chunin Exam to preventing the Fourth Kazekage Rasa and gaining more benefits for Sunagakure Village.

However, if you can win first place, who would refuse?

The style of painting on Bai Ye's side is a little different. Bai and Kimimaro, who were small and transparent throughout the whole process, looked at Bai Ye who just ran back from outside and frowned.

"Lord Baiye, where did you go again?"

Bai Ye took out the certificate in his hand and said with a smile: "I just went to place a bet. The odds outside are good. We may be able to make a lot of money this time."

Hearing this, Shiro and Kimimaro smiled, and then said: "Byakuya-sama, are you buying us to win? We will definitely work hard to get a good ranking."

Bai Ye shook his head: "No, I bought Naruto and Gaara. I think they have a higher chance of winning. I can't do some loss-making transactions."

Shiro and Kimimaro's expressions changed slightly, obviously dissatisfied.

In this Chunin Exam, the two of them almost became transparent. Although they successfully passed the first and second rounds of exams, they had no sense of existence.

In the third round of gambling, the jounin led by his team even bought other ninjas to win, which made them feel very unhappy.

Seeing the two people showing such expressions, Byakuya smiled: "I'm just kidding you, I didn't actually place bets in the casino. You must perform well in the Chuunin exam and show the strength of our Akatsuki organization."

Shiro and Kimimaro looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

Byakuya looked at the Third Hokage's position, showed a kind smile towards the latter, and slowly walked towards the stands.

He won't accompany the Third Hokage for the third round of exams, and has to find a reason to leave here.

If he were present, many things would not be possible.

After boarding the stands, Bai Ye glanced around and locked onto Metkai, Xiao Li and others. Let's start with them this time.

…

In just one morning, the Chunin Exams entered the top sixteen competition.

In the previous game, Shiro and Kimimaro easily defeated the enemy ninja. For their opponents, the strength of the two of them was too much.

Not to mention the results of these years of practice, it is just the instantaneous ability that comes with Blood Succession Limit.

It's enough to give ninjas below jounin a headache. After all, for most ninjas, they can die many times just by swinging forward to perform ninjutsu.

Except for Sakura, the rest of Class 7 also successfully passed the assessment.

Needless to say, there is no need to say much about the strength of Naruto and Sasuke. Both of them have jounin strength, and they absolutely exceed the standard in the chunin exam.

Sakura is not without strength, but this time some gods fought in the Chunin Exam.

All members of Gaara's team passed. The strength of the three of them was relatively even. They all had at least the strength of a jounin. They were able to crush the small country's ninja village and even the Konoha ninjas.

Shikamaru's team was eliminated by them and missed the opportunity to continue to advance.

However, during the battle with Gaara's team, Shikamaru's team also showed good strength. They just couldn't beat Gaara's team, not because of lack of strength.

Seeing this scene, the Third Hokage on the stage said with emotion: "Kazekage-sama, your village is really full of talents. If it hadn't been for the third round, Gaara and the others might not have shown their true strength."

Scorpion glanced at the Third Hokage and said with a smile:

"You, Naruto of Konoha, are not the same. You actually use ninjutsu like the Rasengan. I remember this was a ninjutsu invented by the Fourth Hokage. In the future, your Konoha Ninja Village will have another golden flash." ”

Hearing this, the Third Hokage's expression dimmed and he recalled the memory of Minato.

When Naruto used the Rasengan, he did have the illusion of seeing Namikaze Minato. Naruto and Minato were almost exactly the same when they were children. They were both sunny and cheerful children, full of the will of fire.

However, Naruto and Minato were different after all.

Naruto is the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki. After all, Naruto is not a wandering orphan, but the orphan of the Fourth Hokage. However, he has concealed Naruto's life experience and has not yet told Naruto the truth.

Although everything is said to be for the stability of the village, it still feels a bit cruel.

Retracting his thoughts that were gradually diverging, the Third Hokage's eyes swept across the crowd, hoping to find Orochimaru's figure in the crowd in advance and stop Orochimaru's conspiracy.

In the half month before the third round of exams, he had been waiting for Orochimaru to come to his door.

If Orochimaru was willing to communicate with him, he wouldn't be able to bury the hatchet and accept this rebellious apprentice. After all, the village now needs Orochimaru's fighting skills.

Unfortunately, after waiting for half a month, he still didn't wait for Orochimaru to come.

This means that Orochimaru is about to take action during the Chunin Exam. No matter what Orochimaru's conspiracy is, and whether he can stop Orochimaru, Konoha will definitely be seriously injured...

After looking around, the Third Hokage failed to find Orochimaru in the crowd.

After sighing softly, the Third Hokage continued to communicate with Scorpion and Byakuya next to him. With these two present, the exam should be able to go smoothly and not be too bad.

While the Third Hokage was thinking wildly, the competition to advance to the quarter-finals of the sixteenth and eighth quarters began immediately.

This match is between Xiao Li and Gaara. Xiao Li is the disciple of Konoha Jonin Metkai. He looks exactly like Metkai and has shown extremely superb physical skills in previous games.

Gaara is the favorite to win the championship, and the match between the two has attracted great attention.

After the game started, Xiao Li disappeared first and pounced on Gaara. He had already seen that Gaara was a ninjutsu ninja.

Faced with this kind of ninjutsu, you must quickly approach the opponent so that the opponent is too busy to release the ninjutsu.

There is nothing wrong with Xiao Li's tactics, but the problem is that Gaara is a sand escape ninja and can manipulate sand to attack the enemy without forming seals.

After being entangled by several balls of flying sand, Xiao Li's expression changed.

Naruto and Sasuke also frowned. There is a high probability that they will meet Gaara in the next game, and they must take this opportunity to collect information about Gaara.

Gaara's taijutsu is rubbish, and his genjutsu has never been used.

But this does not mean that Gaara can easily be defeated by using illusion and taijutsu. Gaara does not use ninjutsu because he does not need to use ninjutsu.

And because he is a jinchuriki, ordinary genjutsu is completely ineffective against him.

After just a few rounds, Xiao Li was completely at a disadvantage.

Xiao Li's movement speed is very fast, but he is not faster than the flying sand. Once he is completely restrained by the flying sand, he will lose his fighting ability at best, or be directly disappointed at worst.

After seeing this scene, many people were worried about Xiao Li.

Scorpion even said: "Byakuya, it seems that Gaara is going to win again. The next round should be Gaara versus your Kimimaro."

Byakuya smiled: "Gaara will indeed win, but not so soon."

After hearing this, Xie was slightly startled, and then his eyes fell on Xiao Li.

He didn't believe how much potential Xiao Li could unleash, but he believed in Bai Ye's vision. Maybe this person really had potential.

What Xie doesn't know is that the reason why Bai Ye has such an idea is because he knows that Xiao Li's strength is more than that. The reason is very simple. Xiao Li is a genius who works hard and has practiced the Eight Gate Dunjia.

The secret technique of the Eight Gate Dunjia that burns life is also a ninjutsu that can rival gods with a mortal body.

Before he was about to lose, Xiao Li exchanged glances with Metkai. After seeing Metkai's thumbs up, Xiao Li took off his weight and activated the Eight-door Dunjia.

With the blessing of Eight Gate Dunjia, Xiao Li's speed and strength have been improved, and his chakra has doubled.

With just a slap, the wind and waves were enough to push back the flying sand. Xiao Li's speed even left afterimages in the air, making it impossible to see where the person was.

It was the first time for Gaara to encounter this type of enemy, and his expression suddenly changed.

After taking a heavy punch from Lee, Gaara changed his fighting style from offense to defense. He knew that it was impossible for the opponent to maintain this state.

In the crowd, many ninjas recognized the Eight Gate Dunjia.

The Eight Gate Dunjia is a secret technique recorded in the Book of Sealings. It has always been an unknown ninjutsu between Matedai ​​and Matkai. No one would spend more than ten years practicing a useless ninjutsu. .

If you put this energy into developing other ninjutsu, you might become a jounin long ago.

It wasn't until the Third Ninja World War that Matt Dai single-handedly defeated the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, making the Eight Gate Dungeon famous in the Ninja World, and changing the reputation of the Eight Gate Dungeon.

Kakashi looked at Metkai next to him and said with some surprise: "Kai, when did Xiao Li learn the Eight Gate Dunjia? Why haven't I heard you say it?"

Metkai smiled and showed his white teeth, and then said: "Now you know, Xiao Li is my most proud disciple. He opened the Eight Gates Dunjia earlier than me."

"If there is a genius in physical arts, he is undoubtedly a genius who works hard."

After a pause, Metkai continued: "After Xiao Li defeats Gaara, he should be able to face off against one of Sasuke and Naruto. I really look forward to their fight, just like between us."

"Youth must have enough opponents and challenges to be passionate enough."

After listening to Metkai's speech, Kakashi smiled helplessly. He really couldn't take much interest in these things. He was worried about the Chunin Exam.

Kakashi knew that this Chunin Exam would not be easy when he met Bai Ye before the Chunin Exam began.

But he didn't expect it to be so complicated.

Orochimaru actually sneaked into the Forest of Death and met with Naruto and Sasuke. And judging from the traces of the battle on the scene, Orochimaru may not have come alone.

This does not mean that Orochimaru has no other subordinates, but that there may be ninjas with similar strength around Orochimaru, and they may have joined forces.

In addition to these people, there are Obito and others hiding in the dark, and even Kushina's master's wife.

These people want to make a big splash in the Chunin Exam, but can the current Konoha Village still support such a big scene? It won't collapse directly.

At this time, Might Guy noticed Kakashi, came over and said: "What's wrong, Kakashi? You seem to be depressed again recently."

Kakashi sighed, and then asked: "Kai, do you think the village is more important, or the Hokage is more important."

When asked this question, Kai began to hesitate and said: "Aren't the village and the Hokage together? Why do you ask this?"

Kakashi nodded, and then said: "I mean, if the Hokage betrays the village one day, what should we do?"

"The Hokage betrayed the village? Of course we support the village..."

After thinking for a long time, Might Guy continued to ask: "Kakashi, what happened, why do you ask these things?"

Kakashi did not answer Kai, and Kai did not have time to study these in detail.

During their conversation, the battle between Xiao Li and Gaara has come to an end, and the winner of this game is about to appear.

From the perspective of personal strength, Xiao Li and Gaara are about 50-50.

The two are about the same age, and their efforts and secret skills are about the same level, so their strengths are naturally about equal.

But the premise is that Gaara does not borrow the power of Shukaku. After using Shukaku's chakra, Xiao Li is no match at all. After using his special move and being blocked by Gaara, his body fell to the ground like a kite without a line.

Seeing this, Gaara used flying sand to drag Xiao Li steadily and then put him on the ground.

Although he won this game, his victory was somewhat dishonorable. In the Chunin Exam, he did not intend to use the power of the tailed beast unless it was against Naruto.

But just now facing Xiao Li's threat, he subconsciously used the power of Shukaku.

After the battle between Gaara and Xiao Li, Naruto also easily defeated Neji, and the next round was the battle between Gaara and Naruto.
