Swapping lots, for the walk-on candidates, could avoid facing strong opponents and avoid being defeated instantly.
As for Lee, Sasuke, Hyuga Neji, Naruto, Kankuro, and Hozuki Suigetsu, they could choose their 'favorite' opponents, either to prove themselves, or to fiercely show off, or to take revenge!
Thus, even though Shikamaru and Temari were fighting to their heart's content and had attracted the cheers of countless spectators from the spectator stands, the group of examinees below the main spectator stands were rubbing their bamboo sticks. Their gazes were filled with reluctance as they looked at their respective group members. They did not pay any attention to the intense battle in the arena.
Huo Genma stood in front of them with a thousand sticks in his mouth, pretending not to know anything.
The rules of the final selection were very clear. Regardless of victory or defeat, those who performed well would be promoted to Chunin.
Therefore, if the strong and the weak were to face each other, the winner would be decided in two or three moves. In fact, this way, the winner would not be promoted!
Only people like Shikamaru and Temari, who were fighting fiercely, had a chance to be promoted to Chunin by Naruto -sama!
Therefore, if there was a strong person who deliberately chose the weak as an opponent by swapping lots, it was a complete mistake.
On the contrary, the best way to be promoted to Chunin was through swapping lots and fighting against strong people.
However, Huo Genma, of course, would not remind the candidates with the lowest quality behind him.
"Sasuke, why are you hiding it so tightly? What's your number?" Naruto peeked at Sasuke's bamboo stick and was ready to point it out.
"It's none of your business." Sasuke said coldly.
"How can you!" Naruto jumped up and down, wishing that he could directly break Sasuke's hand.
"Naruto Namikaze, what's your number?" Kankuro rushed over aggressively.
"Hey, hey, this kid is my prey, get out of my way!" Hozuki Suigetsu said forcefully.
"A 14-year-old uncle and a white-haired grandpa."
Naruto crossed his arms in front of his chest with a look of disdain. "I don't want to bully the elderly."
"Little brat, you're courting death!!" Kankuro and Mizuki gnashed their teeth and glared at Naruto, almost unable to control themselves and directly attacked.
At this time, Xiao Li couldn't help but come over. "Sasuke, Naruto, no matter who you are, please tell me your bamboo lot number! Me! I want to prove myself to Lord Naruto, to Teacher Kai, and to everyone else! "
Gaara squinted at Zuo Ming and the others who were in a mess. His eyes were filled with excitement as if he wanted to challenge this group of Genin!
Amidst the chatter, the match in the arena also ended.
Just like in the original work, Shikamaru gave up and admitted defeat in a situation where he had the advantage.
The spectators on all sides of the stands were quite puzzled, and they were chattering non-stop with each other.
It was also fortunate that Wood Leaf did not allow gambling. Otherwise, Shikamaru would definitely be scolded like shit.
As for Tempe, her entire body froze on the spot as her delicate body trembled.
Why?
Why is this happening again?!
Three years ago, in the final Chunin selection, she was also 'admitted defeat' here. Fate actually played such a joke on her again!
I obviously didn't do my best, why did you admit defeat?!
In this way, even if she wins, she will definitely not be able to advance to Chunin like three years ago!
Three years, three years and three years, when will it end?
Tempe gritted her teeth and stared at Shikamaru opposite her. She couldn't wait to kill him!
"Hey, I already admitted defeat, why are you still looking at me like this?" Shikamaru asked lazily.
"So who made you admit defeat!!" Tempe stared at Shikamaru fiercely.
Shikamaru was startled, feeling that this woman was a bit unreasonable, he shrugged and walked straight back to the main stand.
"I will remember you, Shikamaru Nara, I will never let you go, I will definitely kill you! I swear!! "Tempe followed closely behind and kept spitting trash at Shikamaru.
Shikamaru frowned: I was afraid of trouble so I admitted defeat. Really, if I knew this would happen, I wouldn't have surrendered …
"The winner of the second round, Sand Village Shinobi Tempe."
Huo Genma flashed on the field and said loudly, "Next, please draw the third and thirty-fourth Genin and prepare for the game!"
Two Shinobi from Waterfall Village and Kusagakure quickly walked out and began to fight.
In the main stand.
Po Shui Mun, who was bored, was chatting with Yondaime Kazekage Rosa and Quan Bingwei. The three of them were testing each other. After the game, Tenzen, Ino, Shino, and others appeared one after another and achieved good results.
It's just …
Why didn't any of the main characters appear?
Cold Wind's face was strange.
Although Tian Tian, Ino, and the others are also one of the Twelve Roaches, they are just important side characters with a little plot. Compared with Gaara, Lee, Hyuga Neji, and the others, they are not on the same level in terms of combat power and screen time!
Not to mention Sasuke and Shikamaru!
There's something fishy!
Cold Wind's first thought was that Naruto was cheating by changing lots, and this was indeed the case!
Naruto, Onigetsu, Kankuro, Lee, and the others, either to show off, or to take revenge, or to prove themselves, they kept changing the lot so that they could stay at the end and avoid fighting with the side characters too early!
Time passed, and soon it was eleven o 'clock at noon.
At this time, the enthusiasm of the audience in the stands was gradually waning. After all, there was not much to see in this morning's game, coupled with hunger and thirst at noon, many rich people couldn't sit still.
Just when they wanted to have a halftime break and go out to eat, drink, and relax …
"Next, the examinees who have drawn lot No. 11 and No. 26, please come up to the stage!" Genma said loudly.
As soon as his words fell, Neji walked out.
The first lot he drew was the eleventh. As for changing?
He disdained to do this kind of thing!
"Hey, that guy's eyes …"
"It can't be wrong, it's the Hyuga Clan of the two Wood Leaf Clans!"
"Hyuga Clan Ninja?"
"Finally, there's something to see!"
"Don't let me down, Hyuga brat!"
The audience in the stands saw the famous "Byakugan" in the Ninja World, and enthusiasm rushed up in an instant, and the cheers became louder and louder.
Neji stopped and turned to look at Naruto, Sasuke, and others with a calm expression, "Who will be my opponent!"
This guy is Lee's captain, and his strength may be above Lee's … Sasuke narrowed his eyes and thought, "And he's from the Hyuga Clan, and I'm from the Uchiha Clan.
If we fight … "
"This guy looks very arrogant." Naruto looked at the lot in his hand, "It's not twenty-six … Then I'll spare his life!"
The rest of the people also looked down at their lot, and their expressions were either lucky, indifferent, or disdainful. Finally, a long-haired young man in a kimono came out.
It was Haku, the one who once made Kankuro and Naruto dizzy!
Haku walked on the stage with a gentle face, and before he walked to Neji's side, he attracted a lot of curses.
"Are you kidding me?!"
"It's not easy to find a ninja with a Kekkei Genkai, how can he fight against such a woman?"
"It won't be the same as before, will it?"
"This kind of game is not interesting at all!"
"Yes, especially when he doesn't allow people to gamble, Fourth Naruto is too unreasonable!"
Many of the hot-tempered rich people immediately left for lunch while cursing and calling their friends.
There were also some celebrities who got up and went to the bathroom, and the cheers in the stands suddenly dropped by several dimensions.
In the main stand, Quan Bing was a little unhappy.
He was the confidant of Elder Sensei, and Baiyi was Sensei's trusted subordinate, and they could be regarded as comrades in the same camp. At this time, Haku was looked down by so many people, how could he be in a good mood?
Cold Wind, who was standing behind Po Shui Mun, raised his eyebrows, "That guy … is Haku?
Oh, how could I forget about him? "
A few years ago, after Cold Wind killed Zabuza in the Mist Village, he took the Sanbi Column Force and ran away, and he forgot about this person.
He didn't know which old man got lucky in the end.
In the field.
Haku slowly walked to Neji's side, bowed his head gently and apologized, "It seems that everyone is not optimistic about me, I'm really sorry, and I also dragged you into this, Mr. Hyuga."
"It doesn't matter to me who my opponent is."
Neji looked at Haku emotionlessly, and said indifferently and confidently, "Because I will defeat him cleanly … with my eyes!"
"Is that so?"
Haku was not angry at all, and he smiled gently, "Mr. Hyuga, please be careful."
Huo Genma didn't care about their trash talk, and directly announced, "The eleventh match, Wood Leaf Genin Hyuga Neji VS Mist Genin Haku Izuki, start!"
After that, he flashed back to the main stand.
At the same time, the audience in the stands suddenly quieted down.
After a while, a buzzing sound was heard.
"What did the examiner just say?"
"What's his name?"
"Is it Izuki's last name?"
"Wow, that's the last name of the Snow Clan of the country of water."
"Wasn't the Snow Clan destroyed? How come there are survivors? "
"Snow Clan, Ice Release Kekkei Genkai."
"Ice Release against Byakugan …"
"That's more like it!"
More than half of the audience in the stands are rich and powerful people from various countries. Even if they aren't ninjas, they know a lot of things about the Shinobi World, and gossip about the disappearance of the Snow Clan is naturally a hot topic for many rich people.
As the discussion in the stands became louder and louder, those who had gone out for lunch or to go to the toilet all rushed back. They were sweating profusely, thirsty, hungry, and had swollen bladders. They sat back in their seats and obediently watched the game.
"Your name …"
Neji noticed the abnormality in the stands around him, and he frowned slightly, "Snow Clan …"
"Please don't care about this, Mr. Hyuga."
Haku didn't explain anything, he directly took out his kunai and looked directly at Neji with a smile, "Please enlighten me."
"Humph."
Hyuga Neji snorted coldly and made a Gentle Fist with his hands, "You go first, or you won't have a chance if I make a move."
Is he that confident?
Haku smiled, flirted with the kunai, and rushed out.
