Behind the Scenes in Naruto World - Chapter 133
Kabuto was very familiar with the Chunin exam.
He used to be Orochimaru’s undercover agent and took the Chunin exam for three consecutive years, looking for suitable container candidates for Orochimaru. He could probably recite the rules of the Chunin exam by heart.
Regardless of how many of Genin passed the second exam, Konoha would still reduce the number of candidates who would participate in the third exam. They would choose stronger Genin and find ways to make the battle exciting.
After all, there would be many famous and influential people watching the third exam.
If the battle was unsatisfactory, the audience might gain a negative perspective of the Ninja profession.
“Cough cough cough cough…”
A Konoha ninja with a pale face holding a notebook said after a few coughs, “I’ll announce the rules of the qualifiers…cough cough cough… everyone will be separated and have one on one battles.”
After speaking, the guy coughed a few more times, looking extremely ill.
This Konoha ninja was the chief examiner of the third exam, Gekko Hayate.
After Hayate’s coughing eased, he continued, “The battle would not prohibit any means, and will only end if one party falls, dies, or concedes defeat. In some circumstances, I will actively intervene in the battle to avoid unnecessary casualties.”
However, the ninjas underneath quietly doubted Gekko Hayate.
This chief examiner looked incredibly sick. He might fall over at any moment and die before they do!
Haku was surprised at Uehara’s playful gaze and asked softly, “Uehara, you seem interested in him. Is this chief examiner strong?”
“Maybe.”
Uehara laughed and shook his head.
No one could tell whether Gekko Hayate was strong or not, but there was one thing that everyone agreed with, his girlfriend Uzuki Yugao was stunning.
Uehara didn’t care about Uzuki Yugao’s looks.
Uehara was more concerned about how Hayate’s girlfriend Uzuki Yugao knew the truth about Uchiha Obito but didn’t reveal anything.
For example, she knew that Obito was the reason for the death of the Fourth Hokage couple.
Uehara personally exposed Obito multiple times, but the most crucial murder case had not been revealed yet.
It might have been hidden by the Hokage, Sarutobi, or Kakashi.
Uehara’s eyes passed the crowd slightly. He snorted and quietly created a new plan in his mind.
However, before Uehara managed to create a new plot against Konoha, a Konoha Ninja dealt the first blow!
Hayate glanced at the match-up display and read aloud the contestants for the first qualifier, “In the first match. Kaguya Kimimaru vs. Uehara Naraku!”
“…”
Everyone’s eyes stopped involuntarily on Kimimaro and Uehara. These two Ame ninjas were undoubtedly the strongest among the candidates in this Chunin exam!
Would this make them start to kill each other?
Uehara watched all of this. Scorn flashed from the corner of his mouth, “Huh, I haven’t done anything, and yet you targeted our group!”
The gazes of the other Genin were also slightly surprised.
The two strongest would fight during the qualifiers. Even if this were a pure coincidence, no one would believe it, right?
“I surrender!”
Kimimaro directly announced his defeat without hesitation.
Facing Uehara, no matter in terms of identity or strength, Kimimaro would not participate in this battle.
As for Uehara.
From the moment Hayate announced the battle between the two sides, Uehara’s body remained motionless. Obviously, he had already known about Kimimaro’s choice.
Haku expressed regret and comforted the teammates beside him, “It’s a pity, if Kimimaro didn’t meet Uehara, he would have been able to advance.”
“It doesn’t matter.”
Kimimaro didn’t care.
The Chunin exam qualifiers were proceeding in an orderly manner. Aside from the first match, the others seemed normal.
“In the second match, Temari vs. Tenten.”
There was almost no suspense in this battle. Temari won easily, and she even said a few words, ridiculing Konoha.
Unfortunately, Temari’s face suddenly changed when she heard the next battle.
“In the third match, Kankuro vs. Uchiha Sasuke!”
This battle was a lot more exciting, but it was a pity that Sasuke directly used fire-release ninjutsu to burn the puppet strings, which meant Kankuro could not fight back.
“In the fourth match, Aburame Shino vs Yamanaka Ino.”
During this match, Shino didn’t even need to do anything. Just seeing the insect forced Ino to abstain.
“In the fifth match, Akamichi Choji vs Nara Shikamaru!”
When this duel match-up was announced, Choji took the lead and sacrificed himself, shouting before Shikamaru, “I surrender!”
“In the sixth match, Uzumaki Naruto vs. Inuzuka Kiba.”
This was a flavourful battle.
Just when Kiba got the advantage, he was overwhelmed by a stinky odor and was easily defeated by Naruto. No one expected his sensitive sense of smell to cause his defeat.
“In the seventh match, Hyuga Neji vs. Hyuga Hinata.”
Perhaps it was because they had teamed up together in the Forest of Death, Neji didn’t do anything cruel to Hinata, but he still ruthlessly defeated his little cousin.
Uehara watched Hinata being carried down, then looked at Neji and sighed regretfully. How many people who beat Hinata survived?
Uehara suddenly remembered what he had done in the Forest of Death.
The other twelve Konoha Genin had undoubtedly rewarded him very richly, but the system only gave him one hundred gold coins when it came to Hinata.
It’s okay. He won’t die.
Even if he died, he still has resurrection skills.
“The eighth match, Haruno Sakura vs. Yuki Haku!”
Hayate’s voice interrupted Uehara’s thoughts. He glanced at Haku next to him and nodded at him meaningfully. He said, “Don’t waste time and end it faster. I want to watch the next battle. “
“Understand.”
Haku turned over and jumped onto the field.
His flexibility alone made it possible to see his skills, coupled with his white and lovely appearance and the ice bloodline limit, caused someone in the corner of the field to lick his lips.
Pretending to be an Otogakure ninja, Orochimaru licked his lips and looked at the young ninja with envy, “Whether it’s this little kid Haku or that little fellow Kimimaro, they are both great containers!”
Hy?ton (Ice Release) and Shikotsumyaku (Dead Bone Pulse) both qualified to be his container.
It was a pity that it was so much more difficult to seize Kimimaro’s and Haku’s bodies than Sasuke’s.
Sakura felt a little less confident when taking the stage. Even if her two teammates desperately motivated her, Haku still sadly defeated her.
This Chunin exam qualifier has finally come to the final match!
Uehara’s gaze slowly flowed, looking at the two ninjas he had beaten, Gaara and Rock Lee, and couldn’t help grinning.
This last battle was the most exciting!
Perhaps only the battle between Uehara and Kimimaro could surpass this battle.
Lee, who opened the Hachimon (Eight Gate), pierced Gaara’s sand armor forcibly but finally failed because his body could not keep up with his technique.
From now on, Lee would be disabled.
When Uehara returned to the hotel with Kimimaro and Haku, he planned to discuss how they would spend their time during the month before the start of the competition, but two people came to their room.
Kakashi knocked on the door and looked at Uehara, “Uehara, I just heard from Anko that your medical ninjutsu is very good. Can you help us treat someone in our village?”
If it weren’t for Anko and the little guys in his team who praised Uehara’s medical ninjutsu, Kakashi wouldn’t know about it.
“Please!”
Might Guy quickly emerged from Kakashi’s back, bowed deeply at Uehara, and pleaded with tears, “Please save Lee! “
“But…”
Uehara hesitated.
He was a little unsure whether his treatment was useful.
After all, what Lee injured were his bones. It was said that even that woman, Tsunade, was helpless. What could he do?
Although… Uehara did have a side mission that required him to help with the treatment.
But the most troublesome thing was that Uehara was a little worried that if he cured Lee here, an eight gate Lee would fly out in the future and kick him back.
Fortunately, he has several resurrections and invincibility skills…
Kakashi looked at Uehara. He sighed and whispered, “As long as you are willing to help, I would give you a set of the Icha Icha Paradise collection and the latest series released….”
“Who do you think I am?”
Uehara glanced at Kakashi, frowned, and said, “Well, let me have a look at the situation first. I can’t guarantee curing him…”
