When everyone reported their numbers and Ibi Xi was about to report their battle schedule, the third-generation successor stopped Ibi Xi and coughed dryly. He said," Since the number of participants in the official selection test is odd, Yagyu Soichiro, who drew number one, has a bye in the first round.”
The third generation was indeed worthy of being called Naruto, who had been in charge of Koba for many years. Although he couldn't guess what tricks Ichiro had played, he would never let Ichiro fight against No. 2's Ningji. Whether it was Ichiro killing Ningji in the game or Ichiro being blamed by the Hinata clan after the game, it was all Koba's loss. Therefore, he made a prompt decision to let Ichiro go.
Hearing the third-generation successor's statement, the other examinees did not have much of a reaction. Only I Love Luo looked at Ichiro with a murderous look in his eyes. Ichiro looked at the third-generation successor with eyes full of anger. Seeing Ichiro's gaze, the third-generation successor was even more certain of his decision.
" Now, I'll announce the battle list for the main selection exam. On the second day, Hinata Natsuji will fight against Uzumaki Naruto on the third day, Uchiha Sasuke on the fourth day will fight against I Ai Luo on the fifth day, Yamanaka Ino on the sixth day will fight against Fujiwara Yui on the seventh day, Kankuro on the eighth day will fight against Yukino on the ninth day, and Shouju on the tenth day will fight against Nara Shikamaru on the eleventh day.”Ibi Xi said loudly and showed everyone the battle schedule.
"Tsk, how troublesome. I actually had to face a woman. I thought that I, who was number eleven, would have a bye. Ichiro is really lucky!”Shikamaru mumbled as he looked at the battle list.
"Since everyone is clear about the opponents you will face in the exam, I hope that everyone will work hard to improve their strength in the next month and strive to become a Chuunin through the main selection.”
"Lord Naruto, if there's nothing else, I would like to leave first. I still have important things to do.”
Ichiro, who had been left behind by the third generation, spoke in a cold tone. He was still brooding over the fact that the third generation had given him a bye and that he could not personally avenge Hinata. Even though he thought that the third generation had treated him well, he still felt indignant that he could not kill that self-righteous fellow.
"Are you going to visit the young miss of the Hinata family?”Mikiyo did not mind Ichiro's tone and spoke kindly.
"You know, but you still left me here.”
The third-generation successor smiled at Ichiro's childish behavior and said,""Shouichiro should like that child Hatata very much, right?”
"Yes."
"If I say that I will go to the Hinata family to propose marriage in the name of Naruto and let Hinata become your wife, will you give up your hatred for Ningji Hinata?”The third generation looked at Ichiro with an expression that said, I'm going to eat you alive. The smile on his face was like that of an old fox.
Ichiro hesitated at the mention of the third generation. Hyuga was not from a commoner's family, but was from the largest family in Koba after Uchiha's fall. It was extremely difficult for him to marry Hatata as a commoner. In order to maintain the purity of his bloodline, the Hyuga family had always married within the family, which had become an obstacle for Ichiro to marry Hatata.
"I can't let the Hinata clan plant caged birds for the fledgling fields, and I will definitely have more than one wife in the future.”It was rare for the third generation to be willing to help him propose marriage, so Ichiro asked for an exorbitant price and raised two more conditions.
The third-generation successor pondered for a moment and said,""It's not impossible, but in addition to not seeking revenge from Ning Ci, you also need to show your ability. Otherwise, it's not enough to just rely on my face. Speaking of which, you're quite ambitious.”
"I can't predict how many wives I will have in the future, but I can't give up on the Yamanaka family's Ino. There's also my teammate Yui, who's also a pretty good girl. Speaking of ability, I wonder if she's still alive after the battle with Orochimaru?”
Ichiro felt that regardless of whether the third-generation successor was trying to win him over or not, the third-generation successor had already done enough. Whether it was the forbidden technique or helping him propose marriage, the price was enough for Ichiro to pay something. Therefore, in order for the third-generation successor to survive and help him propose marriage, he decided to reveal the purpose of Orochimaru. At the same time, it was also to protect Moonlight Gale's life.
"What?! You've seen Orochimaru and fought with him. When and where?”Hearing Orochimaru's name, the third generation couldn't remain calm anymore and asked anxiously.
"Before the preliminary exam, when I was about to arrive at the tower, I fought with that guy in the Forest of Death. He used a ninjutsu technique that used many snakes as props to bury me. He was probably very confident in his ninjutsu technique. He left without confirming my death, but I was lucky.”
Ichiro said casually as if he was talking about something insignificant. However, it still shocked the third-generation successor. He was shocked that Ichiro's strength had reached the point where he could escape from Orochimaru. As Orochimaru's teacher, the third-generation successor knew exactly what kind of strength Orochimaru had.
"A ninjutsu with many snakes as props? Looks like it should be Orochimaru. What level have you reached, Shoichiro?”
" Probably at the level of a Jounin, but if I use the Eight Gates, I should be able to fight against an Elite Jounin. What I lack is experience and experience, so I applied to leave the village to train."”Ichiro answered seriously after pondering for a moment.
Although he had overestimated Ichiro's strength, he had not expected Ichiro to have already reached the level of Jounin. The thirteen-year-old Jounin had strengthened the third generation's determination to nurture Ichiro. The third generation believed that Ichiro would definitely become an independent powerhouse like Kakashi in the future, or even a Shadow Grade powerhouse.
"How did you meet Orochimaru?”After calming down, the third-generation successor asked about Orochimaru again. After all, the sudden appearance of Orochimaru in Kinoha had raised his guard.
" I found out that he met up with the Ninjas of our Muye Clan, the guy called Yakushido. There were also a few other Ninjas present. Those Ninjas seemed to be under Orochimaru's command. When I heard that they were working together with Sanin to carry out some plan to destroy the Muye Clan, I was discovered by Orochimaru. I had to open four doors to escape.”Ichiro casually made up a lie.
"Onin, Sunin, as an ally, is Sunin going to give up on the alliance? And Medicine Master Dou, you've hidden it very well. Orochimaru, what are you trying to do! Do you really hate Mu Ye that much?" After hearing Ichiro's story, the third generation looked even older.
"Why didn't you report to me immediately?”After calming down, the third-generation successor began to suspect Ichiro. He did not know why Ichiro was hiding the information, and his gaze became sharp.
" I wanted to report back when I entered the tower and participated in the preliminary examination. However, through the feeling of the battle, I realized that the guidance of that Shinobu was Orochimaru. Sanin and Shinobu were both there. I was afraid that it would affect the innocent, so I temporarily held back and planned to report it after the competition. However, the Hatata incident happened again, so I forgot about it for a moment. I'm telling you now.”Ichiro explained unhappily.
Ichiro's explanation was reasonable, and the third-generation successor couldn't find anything suspicious about it. The third-generation successor's gaze softened again, and he said solemnly,""Soichiro, the information you provide is very important to Muye. I will record an A-rank mission for you. As for the two conditions you requested, I will do my best to fight for them. Don't worry, I hope you can make more contributions to Muye in the future.”
"Since it's settled, I'll take my leave first. If I find anything else, I'll inform you immediately.”With that, Ichiro's figure disappeared from the third-generation successor's line of sight.
