Hokage: I Neji will never go offline

After saying that, Orochimaru turned around and left, without even giving Neji a chance to ask more questions.

"This... what kind of style does this person smoke? What kind of sample is it?"

Neji's head was filled with questions. He still hadn't figured out what Orochimaru was doing. He looked at Tenten, who also had a confused look on his face.

"I don't know about this, Neji, let's go back to Konoha quickly."

"That's right, no matter what he is doing, this matter is settled anyway."

He couldn't figure it out anyway, so Neji simply didn't bother to think about it, so he pulled Tenten up into the air and flew straight towards Konoha. This time, he was going very fast and didn't dare to delay at all.

After returning to Konoha, Konoha was calm and there was no sign of any attack. This made Neji relax a little and returned to his residence to have a good rest.

Unknowingly, more than a month passed quietly. During this period, Neji rarely went out and spent most of his time indoors, as if he had returned to the days when he was a homebody as a child.

The Chuunin Exam finally began. Neci and his team changed their clothes and put on the pre-prepared Oto Ninja Village forehead protectors. Neji and Tenten also put on white smiling masks to avoid being recognized.

Ningji and his party arrived at the competition venue early in the morning. They thought that there were not many people in the venue because they came early. However, Ningji thought wrong. When Ningci and his team entered the venue, 70% of the seats were already occupied. These

In addition to people from Konoha's own village, there are also quite a few people from other villages.

The Five Shadows were already sitting in the booth at the top of the venue, and Neji was sitting in the first row on the right side of the booth. This was a position specially set up by Konoha for Neci, who could see the entire arena very clearly.

"I didn't expect there were so many people. I should have come earlier if I had known."

Neji muttered to himself, while his eyes kept looking around. Suddenly, Neji spotted a familiar person directly opposite him. That person was none other than Ranmaru, the shadow of the Rain Hidden Village.

Now Ranmaru has completely lost his childishness and looks very aura. His red eyes are very smart, as if he can penetrate other people's hearts with just one glance.

Neji's eyes couldn't help but linger on Ranmaru for a while, and Ranmaru seemed to have noticed Ningci's gaze, and immediately followed Ningci's gaze. The two looked at each other, and Ranmaru frowned at first.

, then his face changed drastically, he shook his palm suddenly, and almost stood up.

Neji withdrew his gaze, turned to look at Tenten aside, and found that Tenten was also looking at Ranmaru at this time, and his eyes were a little dull, looking like he was lost.

"Tiantian? What's wrong with you?"

"Ah...ah! No, nothing, nothing. Neji, what's the matter with me?"

"Huh? It's okay. I just saw you in a daze and was a little curious. I hope you're okay."

Neji said soft words, but he was a little confused in his heart. He didn't know why Tiantian was like this. After all, in Neji's opinion, Tianten had said that he had gone to see Ranmaru before, even if he didn't expect Ranmaru to come, he shouldn't.

To have such a reaction, at most it would be a little surprised.

But this was not an important matter, and Neji didn't bother to delve into it.

"Speaking of which, Tiantian, did you participate in some kind of preliminaries a few days ago? You should have met everyone who participated this time, right? How was it? Did you meet any interesting guys?"

After getting bored of waiting, Neji started chatting with Tiantian. As soon as he heard this, Tiantian immediately became dissatisfied.

"Really, Neci had the nerve to mention this matter. Neci didn't even come to see me that day, he only slept."

"Haha, don't I think it's boring? Everyone is acting together, and it's not a formal battle. What's interesting?"

"What's not a formal battle? Half of the people were eliminated in the preliminaries, but there's really no fun in grabbing the flag."

Tenten changed the topic and transferred his original dissatisfaction with Neji to the competition. Neji chuckled and shrugged.

"Really? Even you, a contestant, find it boring. It would be even more boring for me to watch the competition."

"Tch! Strong words!"

Even if what Neci said was right, Tiantian was still very unhappy, and Neci didn't dare to say anything more. After all, it was Neci's fault for not going to see him.

Time slowly passed, and there were more and more people in the venue. Tenten, Demon, and Izumi Uchiha all left the auditorium and went down to the court to wait for the players to come on. This also indicated that the game was about to begin. Neji finally got a little more aggressive.

Spirit.

In order to be able to hide their identities, this time Tiantian, Shenshi, and Izumi Uchiha did not use their real names to participate in the competition. Tiantian's name was "Dayu". The name Tianten chose was Ningji himself. He complained about this name no less than three times, but

Tiantian's attitude is very resolute, and he is unwilling to change anything.

The name used by the monster is "筑魔", which is also chosen by Tiantian. Although it sounds a little better than "Dayu", it is really not that good. Only Uchiha Izumi uses "Quanmei" which is not bad. Of course, this name

Izumi Uchiha got it himself.

Finally, all the contestants lined up and entered the ring, and Xiao Li also began to announce the rules of the competition. Ningji didn't care at all. After all, Ningji was not here for the competition, and the rules of the competition didn't matter.

After Xiao Li announced the rules of the game, the huge display screen at the edge of the venue began to scroll. After it stopped scrolling, the screen read Yurui vs. Izumi.

In the first game, Izumi came on the stage, and Neji immediately cheered up.

Quan and Yurui came on stage and looked at each other. Yurui was chewing bubble gum in his mouth and his eyes were slightly dull. Quan had empty hands, but his expression was very serious.

"Izumi Oto-nin, Yurui Kumogakure, the first match begins!"

As Xiao Li shouted, the audience immediately cheered. Yurui immediately pulled out a sharp dagger on his back and rushed towards Izumi. Izumi immediately took out a kunai from the ninja bag on his waist.

Welcome him.

"Qiang!"

The weapons of both sides collided firmly together. In the first collision, there was no winner between the two sides. However, Yurui suddenly sneered and blew a blue bubble out of his mouth. The bubble expanded rapidly, and in the blink of an eye it was gone.

It was already bigger than a human being, so Izumi subconsciously scratched the bubble with a kunai.

"Bang!"

The bubbles exploded immediately, producing a large amount of smoke and dust. The spring was directly swallowed by Yancheng. Yurui also took this opportunity to blow out many bubbles in succession. These bubbles floated around Yurui, colorful and looking quite beautiful.

After the smoke and dust dispersed, Quan was covered with a thin layer of crystal armor and was not damaged at all in the explosion.
