Under the Bamboo Forest of Naruto

A month passed quietly, and as daimyo from various countries arrived one after another, the discussion about the official selection for the Chunin Exam became more and more heated.

...

"Who should I buy?"

Standing in front of the lottery board and looking at the names on it, Liu Yu fell into deep thought and didn't know who to bet on.

In response to the match tables that have been given a long time ago, some welfare lottery organizations have also started match betting. Among them, the first match between Naruto Uzumaki and Souta Akizawa has the highest odds, and Naruto's odds have been suppressed to 1 to 4.

And there is a continuous upward trend, which is not much different from Naruto versus Neji in the original work. Everyone is not optimistic about Naruto, thinking that this kid just happened to win and was able to enter the official selection.

Although most people didn't know who Souta Akizawa was from the Hidden Village this month before the Chunin Exams, based on the results of the second Chunin Exams and the qualifying list of promotions, most people knew

Know who to press.

The team Aoi Gen was in was the team that won the most scrolls in the second Chunin Exam. This also means that Aoi Gen is one of the strongest genin in this Chunin Exam. There are also rumors.

Said that it was Soyakugen who defeated Konoha's previous chief Hyuga Neji.

And this Akizawa Souta defeated Soyogen in the qualifying round, which shows that he is stronger than Soyogen, and many people even think that he may win the final victory in the Chunin Promotion Tournament.

In this case, it's right to take him prisoner. But if these people knew that Aizawa Souta was defeated by Ao Yexuan with rock, paper, scissors, their jaws would probably drop.

Riyuha, who had a rough idea of ​​the strength of the two people fighting against him, would naturally not rely on his performance in the second Chunin Exam and the qualifying list as a reference.

If analyzed based on strength alone, Ryūha intends to bet on Souta Akizawa, after all, his apparent statistics are much stronger than Naruto's.

But given Naruto's status as the "protagonist", his ability to be unexpected first, and the nine-tailed chakra in his body, Naruto has the possibility of winning.

If Naruto really wins this game in an upset, with the current odds, people who buy Naruto will definitely be able to make a lot of money.

In short, Ryuyu now wants to bet on both Naruto and Sata Aizawa, and seems extremely torn in this wavering plan.

"Okay! Don't worry about it. If you really don't know who to bet on, just buy one by the way, or don't buy it at all."

Seeing Liu Yu's entangled look, Fuyue Lin couldn't help but give her own advice. The competition was about to start, and Liu Yu, the leading jounin, was still confused about who to bet on.

...........

The first game came as scheduled, but this time the game was very different from the previous games. In the previous games, only the genin who passed the second test and their respective mentoring jounin watched.

But this time, the surrounding auditorium was filled with villagers from Konoha Village and dignitaries from all over the country. After all, this Chuunin Exam was a rare event in the Fire Nation in recent years.

As the leaders of Konoha Village and Sunagakure Village, the Hokage and Kazekage sit on the highest platform, which is also the place with the best view.

When the contestants entered the stage, the audience in the audience burst into cheers. This scene reminded Liu Yu of the scene where he once participated in a gambling battle in an underground casino.

As the representatives of Tsukigakure Village, Ryūha and others, Konoha arranged a special area for them to distinguish them from the ordinary audience. Opposite them was Sunagakure's Maki.

"It's still Hayate?"

However, when he saw that the referee was still Moonlight Hayate, Liu Yu was surprised. Moonlight Hayate was not dead and was still alive until now.

But then, Ryūyu felt relieved. Kabuto Yakushi could become Konoha's ANBU jounin, so it was not so strange that Hayate did not die under Maki. But then, Ryūyu discovered the problem again, that is, who is it?

Representing Otoyin Village and the Maji Secret Society.

If no one had a secret meeting with Maki, would it be possible that Sunagakure had no intention of participating in Orochimaru's Konoha collapse plan? Or even that the person on the stand was really the Fourth Kazekage Rasa, not someone disguised as the Kazekage.

Orochimaru.

"What? What's wrong?"

Seeing Liu Yu's changing expression, Dong Yuelin who was accompanying him couldn't help but asked with concern, could it be that there was an accident?

"No...don't worry."

Liuyu replied softly, then shook her head vigorously to get rid of all these thoughts. At this point, she didn't believe that Orochimaru could still give up the action.

........

At this time, the Third Hokage had also finished his opening remarks to the audience, including the participating genin, announcing that the third official selection had officially begun.

While on the field, Moonlight Hayate began to declare the rules of the game to the genin in the field.

The so-called rules are very simple, that is, there are no rules. No matter what method the genin uses in the competition, it is reasonable, as long as it can knock down the opponent. There is nothing despicable or aboveboard.

As for the outcome? The game is not over until one party admits defeat, falls to the ground unconscious, or dies.

However, based on humanitarian considerations, Moonlight Hayate still announced that he would stop the game when he thought the outcome was decided to avoid unnecessary casualties.

After explaining the rules, Moonlight Hayate asked the others to go back to the lounge, leaving behind Akizawa Yata and Naruto from the first game.

.........

"Boy, I advise you to surrender as soon as possible!"

Before the game started, Akizawa Souta rarely said to Naruto. If Naruto is still as strong as before by relying on farts to defeat Inuzuka Kiba, then Naruto has no chance of winning this battle. After all, he is not someone who can be relied on.

"Fart" defeats the existence.

"Who? Are you talking about me?"

However, Naruto, a fool, didn't react at all to Akizawa Souta's "kindness". He actually pointed at himself stupidly and asked if it was him.

"...."

(┬＿┬) Seeing Naruto's reaction, Akizawa Souta's forehead slightly raised a "well" character. I don't know why Mr. Ryuha values ​​this guy so much.

"No!"

However, after Naruto reacted, he shook his head slightly and rejected Souta Akizawa's "kindness".

"I...will definitely win this game."

After that, Naruto stretched out his right hand towards Akizawa Yata, clenched his five fingers tightly into a fist, looked at Akizawa Yata and said with great determination.

"A very confident look in his eyes. It doesn't look like he is trying to show off at all."

Seeing Naruto's posture, Akizawa Sata finally became serious. Ryuyu's words "That guy is used to creating miracles" flashed through his mind involuntarily. And Uchiha Gen's warning before he competed, "If you despise that

If you do this, you will pay a heavy price."

Looking into Naruto's eyes, Akizawa Sata could feel the burning fire in Naruto's eyes. This guy is already a little different from when he defeated the Inuzuka Kiba before. Is it the result of this month's special training?

Now, he has a little understanding of why Liu Yu and Gen Uchiha value this guy so much.

"Interesting! This will make this trip to Konoha worthwhile."

Akizawa Sata smiled softly, and then made his starting move. He decided that he would use all his strength to defeat him.
