"Everyone, Lord Naruto wants you to go.”Just as everyone was chatting in the Jounin lounge, a member of the Dark Group suddenly appeared and spoke to Star Illusion and the others.
"Everyone, according to our intelligence, Orochimaru has already infiltrated the village. It seems that his target is Sasuke Uchiha.”After everyone arrived at Naruto's office, the third-generation successor spoke to Yukinari and the others in a serious tone.
" Then please stop the Chuunin exam, Master Naruto," Red said worriedly. The matter of Orochimaru was not a secret in Koba.
"No, many leaders of the Ninja Village will be invited to watch the third round of the Chuunin exam, so we can't cancel it. Otherwise, it will be bad for Koba's reputation.”The third-generation successor immediately rejected Red's suggestion.
"Then may I ask Lord Naruto, how is Sasuke Uchiha's current situation?”Kakashi asked, worried that something might happen to his disciple.
" The people from Class Seven have already met Orochimaru. Naruto and Sasuke Uchiha are unconscious, but they are now awake and are walking towards the central tower. However, it seems that Sasuke Uchiha has been cursed by Orochimaru.”The third-generation successor looked at the information and said to Kakashi.
"Since that's the case, don't stop the exam. After the qualifiers, seal the curse on Sasuke's body.”Xing Huan suggested.
"Hmm, looks like this is the only way.”The third-generation successor nodded and said. At this moment, a member of the Dark Group appeared in Naruto's office and knelt down on one knee before the third-generation successor. He respectfully said," Lord Naruto, all the candidates have passed the second round of the exam.”
"Yes, I understand. You can leave.”The third-generation successor waved his hand and the Dark Group disappeared. Then, he said to Star Fantasy and the others,"Everyone, come with me to the central tower. The qualifiers are about to begin there.”After saying that, he took the lead and walked out. Star Illusion and the others immediately followed.
"Nice to meet you. I am the examiner of this preliminary examination, Moonlight Gale.”A young ninja with a sickly face jumped in front of the examinees." The next exam will be a one-on-one battle. Before that, those who are unable to continue due to injuries or physical discomfort can choose to give up.”
"Pre-selection? What's going on?" Shikamaru asked loudly.
" Teacher, I don't quite understand what this pre-selection means," Xiao Ying said." Why can't the remaining candidates directly participate in the next exam?”
" This time, the first and second rounds were too lenient, so there were a little more people left," Moonlight Gale explained. "Therefore, we must conduct a preliminary selection to reduce the number of people participating in the third round of the exam.”
"How did this happen?" Xiao Ying looked worried.
" Alright, those who choose to give up, report immediately. Otherwise, we'll start the elimination immediately," Moonlight Gale urged.
"I'm not taking the exam!" Dou forfeited as expected.
"Alright, no one forfeited?" Moonlight Gale confirmed again.
"Since that's the case, then I announce that the third round of pre-selection begins now!”
"The first match, Uchiha Sasuke VS Red Copper Armor.”The announcement showed the names of the two people. Sasuke and Copper Armor came to the center of the arena together.
"Then, let the first round of the qualifiers begin.”Moonlight Gale said when he saw the two of them standing on the battlefield.
Upon hearing Moonlight Gale's words, Red Copper Armor immediately threw a few Kunas at Sasuke." Ding!"。。Ding... Ding..." After a few sounds, Sasuke used his shuriken to block the Kuai of the red copper armor and threw a few Kuai at the red copper armor. After the red copper armor blocked the Kuai, he realized that Sasuke was gone.
"Where is he?" Red Copper Armor said in surprise.
"Are you looking for me?" Sasuke's voice came from behind Copper Armor. Copper Armor was shocked and threw a punch behind him. Sasuke could only block it with his hand because he was too close.
"My chakra…”Sasuke was surprised to find that when he blocked the attack of the red copper armor, his chakra was losing, and he could not help but panic. He used all his strength to kick the red copper armor, and his body jumped back, pulling away from the red copper armor.
"Idiot Sasuke, don't lose to him.”Naruto stood in the stands and shouted anxiously at Sasuke.
"Hmph, this idiot. His ability is to absorb chakras. During the second exam, he used up too much chakras, and now he has absorbed a little. Ninjutsu can't be used, so it seems that he can only use physical skills.”When Sasuke heard Naruto's words, he thought to himself and took the opportunity to look at Naruto, only to find Li, who was next to Naruto." Right, use that move."”
"Hmph, you have the time to pay attention to other places?”Copper Armor saw that Sasuke was still looking at other places when he was fighting with him. He suddenly felt that he was being underestimated. He angrily rushed to Sasuke to give him a final blow. When he rushed in front of Sasuke, Sasuke took the opportunity to lower his body and avoid Copper Armor's attack. His right foot kicked up and hit Copper Armor's chin. Copper Armor was sent flying into the air. Sasuke did not give him a chance to breathe. He immediately jumped up and shouted," Lion's Bullet."”He gave Copper Armor a beating in the air. When Copper Armor landed on the ground, he had already fainted. Gale looked at him and said indifferently," Winner-Sasuke Uchiha."”As soon as he finished speaking, Sasuke fainted. Kakashi appeared behind Sasuke with a Blink spell and picked him up. He looked at the third-generation successor. After the third-generation successor nodded, he left with Sasuke in his arms. On the other side, a ninja saw Kakashi leaving and left as well. However, he did not escape Hoshi and the third-generation successor's senses. The third-generation successor looked at Hoshi, who nodded and followed him out.
"Haha, Kakashi, you've improved quite a bit.”A hoarse voice appeared in a dark basement. Kakashi was standing in front of him, and Sasuke was lying unconscious behind him. A man's figure slowly appeared in front of Kakashi.
"Orochimaru?" Kakashi shielded the unconscious Sasuke behind him. He looked at the man in front of him and frowned.
"Orochimaru, you're an S-class Ninja traitor from Kanye. Why did you come back? Although I can't defeat you, I can at least stall you until your companions arrive.”Kakashi said to Orochimaru while using his original move, Thunder Master.”
"Kakashi, why are you so agitated?”Just as Kakashi was feeling nervous, a lazy voice rang out. Star Illusion casually walked over.
"Oh? Are you Star Illusion Lord? Long time no see." Orochimaru's pupils constricted as he looked at the person who had come.
"Yes, Senior Orochimaru, your soul is very weak. Did something happen?”Xing Huan had already opened his golden eyes when he came in. Although he was looking at Orochimaru warily, he still said indifferently.
"Oh? Does that mean that you have already developed the boundaries of a blood heir? Are you interested in coming to my place?" Orochimaru wasn't angry when he heard Hoshino's words. Instead, he said happily.
"How did you know?" Xing Huan said with a frown. It must be known that there were less than ten people in Muye who knew that the Yue Ye Clan had a blood successor boundary, but Orochimaru was definitely not one of them.
"I know. Is it very abnormal? I didn't come here to fight with you, but to see my prey. When Sasuke wakes up and finds that his strength is insufficient, he will come to my place, hahahaha.”Orochimaru said in a crazed manner.
"Is that so? I won't let you do this, even if it means mutual destruction.”Kakashi roared at Orochimaru.
"Hehe, Star Illusion Lord, please consider my suggestion. I'll be leaving first.”As he spoke, Orochimaru's figure slowly disappeared. Before he disappeared, Orochimaru said to Kakashi," Kakashi, you really don't know the immensity of heaven and earth.”
"Phew..." Seeing Orochimaru leave, Kakashi finally heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that Orochimaru's influence was still very great.
"Alright, Kakashi, how is Sasuke?”Star Illusion patted Kakashi's shoulder when he saw that his forehead was covered in sweat.
"It's alright. The seal has been added. There should be nothing wrong. Let's send him to the hospital for observation for a period of time.”Sensing Star Illusion's concern, Kakashi returned to his lazy appearance as he spoke to Star Illusion.
"Okay, let's go." Hoshino nodded and left the treatment room with Kakashi, who was carrying Sasuke. When they returned to the arena, Naruto was already fighting with two boys who looked the same and were wearing large cotton-padded jackets. After Kakashi's introduction, this boy was one of Sunset Red's students, Inuga. However, Naruto's situation was not optimistic. His body was covered in wounds and blood was flowing from his head. At this moment, Inutoya threw a smoke grenade and surrounded Naruto. Then, two of them followed him in. However, after the smoke dispersed, three Inutoya appeared.
"What?" The people in the stands cried out in surprise.
"Do you think you can hide like this? Even if you can transform, you can't change your scent. The fake one is you." Dogtooth looked at one of them. The person who was hit was not prepared and was sent flying. He fell to the ground. A white smoke flashed and appeared in front of everyone. It was a puppy. Everyone was dumbfounded and did not understand why they had mistaken him for someone else.
"What is it? Then you are the fake." Seeing that he had hit the wrong person, Ya was a little panicked. He hit his other self, and the result was the same. His other self was turned into a white puppy.
"Don't you trust your nose?”One of the puppies turned back into Naruto and mocked him.
"Hmph, even without Akamaru, I still wouldn't lose to you.”Ya said angrily to Naruto, then rushed towards Naruto. When he rushed towards Naruto, he spun in the air," Toothache Ya!"
