Chapter 18
The battle was over, and the battle was over.
Unlike the cheers above, the reserve seat below was filled with an indescribable cold air.
Everyone looked at Gaara vigilantly, and the murderous aura on him had almost become real.
"Hey, Gaara..." Kanjiro spoke as carefully as possible, and his face could no longer maintain the fake smile, "There's still time..."
"Shut up." Gaara directly said back what Kanjiro wanted to say.
Kanjiro's face turned ugly in an instant, but he didn't dare to refute, so he could only stand by with gritted teeth.
Shikamaru looked at this scene, and a serious look appeared on his unmotivated face: "What a strong murderous aura, the only one who can fight this guy here is Naruto... No, Sasuke is also strong, and there is also that Hyuga Neji. According to Xiao Li, that Neji is much stronger than him."
"Tsk, it's really troublesome." Shikamaru clicked his tongue a little unhappily, "Why would such a troublesome guy appear in the Sand Village."
On the other side, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Naruto's excited face returning to the spectator seat, and the whole person was slightly relieved, but before he could relax, a shadow suddenly appeared beside him, it was the Anbu.
The Anbu approached Hiruzen Sarutobi's ear and whispered, "Hokage-sama, Senior Kakashi sent a message that he is coming with Sasuke, and there is no news about Orochimaru."
"Is that so." Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned and glanced at the Kazekage beside him calmly, "If we let these people wait any longer, things will probably become very troublesome."
"Yes." The Anbu nodded gently, "Most of the foreign ninjas here are sent by the daimyo and other countries. Their purpose is to see the orphans of the Uchiha clan. Hokage-sama, why not announce that Sasuke has lost his qualifications now."
Konoha does not want to expose Sasuke. After all, he is now the only orphan of the Uchiha clan, and he may be the only pair of Sharingan in the entire ninja world.
Everyone who knows Kakashi knows how powerful the Sharingan is, not to mention that as a copy ninja Kakashi, his name is also on the identification list of other countries. If they can get Sasuke or the Sharingan, it will be a qualitative improvement for other countries.
Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed obscurely: "In this case, then..."
"Let's postpone the match between Sasuke and Gaara." The Kazekage took over the conversation.
The Anbu was startled and subconsciously cast his eyes to the Kazekage next to him, with a hint of hostility in his eyes.
Sarutobi Hiruzen was not surprised, but he thought it would be strange if the Kazekage couldn't hear it. He waved his hand to let the Anbu retreat, and then looked at the Kazekage with a smile: "Lord Kazekage, are you very interested in Sasuke?"
"Hehe..." The Kazekage laughed sinisterly twice, "Just like the Anbu said just now, most of the ninjas in this venue are here for the name of Uchiha, and I am naturally no exception, so I also want Gaara from our village to fight against Uchiha's Sharingan."
"Trial...?" Sarutobi Hiruzen took two puffs of cigarette and began to calculate in his mind.
According to Sarutobi Hiruzen's usual style, if he could hide Sasuke, he would definitely not expose him. After all, Sasuke is now being targeted by other countries, and there is also a dangerous Orochimaru hiding in Konoha. It is not good to show up at this time.
But in addition to this, he needs to consider another thing, that is, about the joint Chunin exam.
After all, this is related to the honor of a village. If Sasuke, as the most expected, fails to appear, then it is estimated that everyone present will be disappointed with Konoha.
After all, Konoha is still the first village, and sometimes it cannot retreat.
Thinking of this, Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed again, but he still smiled firmly: "In this case, let's postpone the match between Sasuke and Gaara from your village as the last game."
If Sasuke has not arrived at that time, Sarutobi Hiruzen swears that he will definitely transfer Kakashi to guard the border, the border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Wind.
Below, Shiranui Genma's eyes moved, and he nodded slightly to show that he understood. Then he looked at the audience around him and said, "Since Sasuke, as a contestant, has not yet arrived in the next match, this match will be postponed to the last one. If Sasuke, as a contestant, still has not arrived by then, he will be considered to have given up the match and lost the qualification."
"What!" Naruto, who had just walked up the stairs, turned his head in disbelief, "In this case, I can't compete with that guy in the finals?"
Shiranui Genma rolled his eyes: "You are still
Take a good rest, you will have a fight later."
After saying that, he didn't care about other people's reactions and announced directly: "Next is the third game, Konoha Village Aburame Shino vs. Sand Village Kankuro, please come to the competition field."
"Damn it!" Seeing Shiranui Genma ignoring him, Naruto was furious, "Damn Sasuke, where the hell have you been!"
Above, when he heard his name, Shino didn't hesitate at all, put his right hand on the fence, and jumped on the spot to flip over.
Then at this time, Kankuro next to him suddenly raised his hand with an ugly face: "Referee, I give up."
"!" Shino, who had jumped halfway, stopped forcibly and hung on the fence, but there was still no expression on his face, just looking at Kankuro next to him calmly.
Kankuro forced a smile: "My puppet had some problems, and I was going to fix it before participating in the competition, but I overestimated my skills. "
Of course this is fake.
His puppet is called Crow, and now this Crow is as good as it can be. There are many things that cannot be taken out, such as poison needles and stings, and most of the poisons are very strong and cannot be treated in a short time.
This kind of thing is used for life and death, not for playing house on the field, and if the Crow is accidentally exposed, I am afraid their plan will be greatly suspected.
So, it is better to give up.
"Is that so." Shino did not seem to doubt Kankuro's intention. He retracted his body hanging on the guardrail and stayed aside calmly again.
Below, Shiranui Genma frowned and looked at Kankuro deeply: "Kankuro of Sand Village gives up, the winner is Konoha Village Aburame Shino, the next is the fourth game, Sand Village Temari vs. Konoha Village Nara Shikamaru, please go to the field. "
Above, Shikamaru put his hands on the back of his head, and seemed to look at Temari intentionally or unintentionally: "Do you want to give up too? "
Temari's face suddenly turned ugly, mainly because of anger: "Hmph, pineapple head, I'll wait for you downstairs."
As soon as the voice fell, Temari directly picked up the huge iron fan that had been on her back, and first fanned it towards the competition field. As the huge wind rose out of thin air, she jumped onto the fan and fell to the competition field as if flying in the wind.
Shikamaru looked at this scene speechlessly: "Isn't there a staircase next to it? "
After saying that, he shook his head and turned to walk towards the stairs.
What, jump down? You said that he is a ninja and it won't be a problem if he jumps down, but it will be very handsome?
Yes, but what does this have to do with him, Shikamaru?
There are stairs but he has to jump down. Isn't this a bad brain?
Shikamaru walked towards the stairs, but just when he entered the stairs, he saw Naruto. Naruto's face was not very good at this time, just because the referee said before that Sasuke would be disqualified from the game, and he was still waiting to decide the winner with Sasuke. How could he disqualify Sasuke?
Very annoying.
But it was useless.
Especially when Naruto saw Shikamaru preparing to walk up the stairs, he was even more annoyed. He obviously wanted to fight with Sasuke so much, but this guy always looked like he was half dead. It would be strange if Naruto could be happy.
Kurouma grinned when he saw this scene and instigated: "Naruto, throw Shikamaru down. If he doesn't want to be handsome, we will help him. "
Naruto's eyes lit up, and his smile unconsciously became vulgar.
Naruto is not a good kid. He skipped classes with the clone technique, transformed himself to look at Xiao Liu Bei, and played all kinds of weird pranks. He has long wanted Shikamaru to change, and now is the perfect time.
