Konoha's Strongest Brother

Chapter 43

The final battle of the Chunin exams that went around and around has finally begun. The winter in Konoha is not too beautiful, but it is not bad, especially some time ago, the heavy rain kept falling, and the dust and mud in Konoha Village After washing it again, as the flow of people increases, no matter where you stand in Konoha Village, you can see the colors of life in your eyes, as if the whole Konoha has come back to life with these colors of life. Not too cold.

The most important point is that because of the end of the war, the Second Ninja World War, which has been raging for many years, has finally come to an end. The gloomy atmosphere from top to bottom has been cleaned up. This kind of lively energy is the most important factor that makes Konoha change from dead silence to warmth.

The arena is located in the south of the center of the village. It is an excellent location. There are some dueling tricks on weekdays, but now it is the annual Chunin exam or the final battle. Whether it is the wealthy boss or the The major families, or even some idle scalpers, have been selling tickets at low prices and buying high at this time, ready to make a good fortune.

The most important thing in business is the flow of people. This time, the final battle of the Zhongnin Exam was promoted by the Konoha official behind the scenes, and all aspects of publicity were also in place. Countless people from all over the world tried to come to watch the ceremony. The tickets are natural. The more scarce it is, the higher it will naturally remain. If you want to say who has eaten the most and the fattest during this period, it must be the scalpers. They are right. The original dozens of votes have been doubled by more than ten times in their hands. Tsk tsk, it's so scary.

As for those rich people who spent a lot of money to buy a ticket, the loss must be a loss, but looking at the excitement in front of Konoha, it is always much warmer than other places. It must be a livable place. If you lose a little, you can lose a little. Just be happy. I heard that there are many capable people this year, which is several times more than the previous one. The price is worthwhile.

However, the development of things was not as good as they imagined. They entered the arena with a ticket bought at a high price, but they came in and saw that it was only a marginal corner. I didn't see the beginning, I heard that there was a player who was late, who could bear it, and in an instant, all the grievances in my stomach were sent to that late guy.

"It's just a mere forbearance, dare to be late for such an important exam, do you have any rules in your heart?"

"That's right, with this kind of discipline concept, you actually have the face to want to be promoted to Chunin?"

"So it can still be like this?"

"Don't talk about it, the Genin who is late this time is the new patriarch of the Hatake Clan, the son of Konoha Baiya, and the most promising player in today's final battle. If you can't do it, just bear with it."

"How can this be done, the rules are the rules, why even a ninja has to break the rules, Konoha Baiya broke the rules, what happened, his son doesn't know!"

"Just say a few words less!"

"I... hey, forget it."

The Third Hokage Hiruza Sarutobi was holding his small pipe, sitting in the most conspicuous middle of the auditorium, listening to the excited shouts of the audience, and seeing the expressions on everyone's faces, he was quite happy at first, but this time The Chunin exam not only dispelled the haze of the war in Konoha Village, but the extra money earned also contributed to the reconstruction of Konoha after the war.

But hearing the sudden quarrel in the auditorium, Hiruzaru Sarutobi's expression froze, and a few ordinary complaints would be enough, but if the topic was brought to Konoha Baiga, it would rise to another level, which is not a big deal, He knew he had to end the subject immediately.

Blame it if you want, Duan Ren is late at this time!

Holding the pipe and taking a sip, Hiru Sarutobi said: "Tell everyone to be safe and don't be impatient. The battle between ninjas always needs to be prepared, especially today's open battle. I hope everyone can understand. Half an hour!"

After the news was conveyed, although the audience was still furious, they finally had a goal, shouting was not a solution, so they might as well wait.

Hiruza Sarutobi stood behind a cat face, came to report some news behind him, Hiruza Sarutobi nodded, then looked at the cat face and asked, "Is he still unwilling to come?"

This is rooted in the talker from the outside world. Gradually, Danzo hid himself deeper, leaving only the talker to communicate with the outside world, and he has no longer shown himself at all.

Huamao took a step forward and replied respectfully with half a bow: "Master Danzo said that the root is the deepest thing in Konoha, and it should be hidden in the darkest place."

Sarutobi Hirzen put down his pipe, shook his head and said, "Although he is going to return to a place where he can't see the light, but now it's the Chunin exam after all, he should come."

Hua Maolian didn't answer any more and kept silent.

After a short pause, Hiruzaru Sarutobi looked at the lively scene in the arena, and softly scolded: "I don't care what happened before, and no matter what the reason is, from now on, Konoha will shine under the sun again."

No matter what happened before, and no matter what the reason is, that is to say, just this simple sentence means that everything the root has done before, good or bad, will return to dust.

Undoubtedly, Sandai is benevolent, but sometimes, benevolence is often associated with cowardice.

"Master Danzo said, Gen will always follow your instructions, and will always be Konoha's last knife."

Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head, sighed helplessly, and replied: "I hope so, as long as there are flying leaves, the fire will burn, and the shadow of the fire will shine on the village, and let new leaves sprout. Only when a person truly wants to protect the person he cherishes the most can the true power of a ninja be revealed..."

The two of them spoke calmly, even Hiruza Sarutobi did not look back from the beginning to the end. It is hard to imagine that they have decided the fate of many people and the direction of many things in just a few words.

The sound of boiling in the arena sounded again, because the originally scheduled half an hour had now passed, and the late contestant was still nowhere to be seen.

Hiruzaru Sarutobi had no choice but to send another message and wait another half an hour.

Half an hour and half an hour, time will always pass away, when another half hour is up, the anger cannot be appeased, Sarutobi can only make people announce Hatake Broken Blade to abandon the game.

The moment when Jonin Moonlight Yawu, who was in charge on the spot, was about to announce Duan Ren's abandonment.

A loud voice came from the gate of the duel arena. Someone looked in that direction, and the expression on his face changed slightly.

Dressed in a strong outfit, with white teeth pinned to his waist, this man had a gentle smile on his face, and walked into the duel field from the outside without haste, and looked at the terrain of the duel field from time to time, as if waiting for the battle ahead prepare for.

With the arrival of this person, the originally noisy duel field became quiet, because this young man has a fairly famous name.

He is Hatake Broken Blade.

……

……

Duan Ren walked over step by step without haste.

Walking far away from the duel field, Duan Ren could hear a lot of noise and shouting from inside.

He is not in a hurry, he is still not in a hurry, the state of mind of the strong will not be changed by external things.

He didn't worry about being late, because he knew that the Uchiha clan planned to defeat him in this duel field, avenging his personal revenge and discrediting the Hatake clan.

As for most of the audience who complained on the spot, their voices are actually not important, and the decision-making power is always in the hands of a very small number of high-level officials.

The Uchiha clan used him as a stepping stone, but Duan Ren also used the Uchiha clan as a stepping stone to become famous.

It was Ryo Uchiha who was the first to find Duan Ren standing in the arena.

Seeing Duan Ren walking step by step to the center of the field, Uchiha Ling didn't say anything, but his eyes shone brightly, and when Duan Ren walked into the team, this light was slightly covered by his lowering his head.

Duan Ren, who also observed Uchiha Ling, smiled slightly, which is very interesting.

……

The audience outside the arena expressed their understanding for Duan Ren's arrival, and this understanding came quickly. They obviously criticized Duan Ren's writing a second ago, but now they gave enthusiastic applause.

This is also very understandable. If Duan Ren abstains, they will miss a wonderful duel. After all, it took a very high price and a lot of thought to buy the tickets. Watching one more game is just one game, no matter who pays. It wasn't from the wind either.

But the dozen or so contestants in the arena were much more interesting. Seeing Duan Ren who was late, most of them showed some fear in their eyes.

Because in terms of the entire Zhongnin exam, Duan Ren is undoubtedly the strongest player, not only in the official predictions, but also Duan Ren's combat performance some time ago. But he couldn't walk back and forth a few times in the hands of Duan Ren, and the illusion he was proud of was also forcibly broken through. No one has told them that the promotion standard of the Chunin Exam is actually everyone's performance, not victory or defeat.

Eliminating a strong opponent at this time is definitely a good choice, so they have some "legitimate" ideas.

Among the dozen or so contestants, some were waiting quietly, while some were restless.

"But the start time has passed, and it's been an hour." Someone always ate the first crab, and a lowered voice rang out among the contestants.

This sound, however, was like a stone thrown into a pond, causing ripples in an instant.

There was a second, and a third voice sounded...

A Genin who didn't know him stood up, but he bowed slightly to Moonlight Gale, and said in a clear voice, "The rule is to arrive on time, but if someone is late, can you continue to take the exam?"

At this moment, an even angrier sneer came from among the dozens of candidates: "When will people who don't follow the rules be able to take the Chunin exam?"

Duan Ren's eyebrows twitched slightly, but the expression on his face didn't change much.

If it wasn't for the examination room, the person just now would have died.

Duan Ren didn't speak, he just calmly looked at the person who spoke just now, trying to remember his appearance in his heart.

He didn't want to know that person's name, that would be meaningless at all, that person would only be one of the many dead souls under his knife, and someday in the future.

He also didn't argue the reason for being late, because he knew that this matter would naturally be resolved by someone.

Moonlight Night Dance did not expect Duan Ren to be so calm. He didn't know how to deal with this kind of thing. It would be fine if someone else simply abstained, but this is Duan Ren, the son of Big Brother Shuo Mao.

So, he kicked the ball to the Third Hokage.

……

In fact, whether he kicks the ball or returns, the result will not change.

In today's stands, next to the Hokage seats, stood Thousand Hands Orange Water.

"Orange Water, have you really decided?" Hiruzaru Sarutobi asked again.

Qianshou Chengshui replied: "As I said, this is Duan Ren's decision, and I respect his decision, that's all."

"I know, but not long ago, the Uchiha clan hoped that Broken Blade could fight against Uchiha Ling. Uchiha Ling is very strong. For some reason, he missed the previous few Chunin exams and ended up becoming a Genin. You should Taking that into consideration, I'm worried about Broken Blade..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't finish his sentence, he couldn't help but sighed worriedly looking at the situation of the long sword.

"It's because it's Uchiha that's why we continue." Senju Orange Water turned his head to look at Sarutobi Hiruzen, smiling slightly, but revealing a murderous look.

Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head: "Now is not the time to vent your anger."

"This is not Qi!" Qianshou Chengshui shook his head, "Master Hokage, although you are powerful, but your understanding of Duanren is not as good as mine."

Hiruzaru Sarutobi was startled.

Qianshou Chengshui said calmly: "For this battle, Duan Ren has been preparing for a long time, I trust him."

Hiruzaru Sarutobi took a deep breath, and then let out a long sigh.

……

"The exam continues, Hatake Broken Ren is still qualified, the first...the fifth game is Hatake Broken Ren vs. Uchiha Rei...officially begins..."

In the arena, Moonlight Night Dance was announcing the results issued by Hokage, and then added: "This is the meaning of Master Hokage."

In fact, he didn't need to say this sentence, because the players in the field had lost their voices just after the reading was finished.

The root cause of many people's opposition is that Duan Ren is too strong. They are afraid that Duan Ren will be divided into opponents, so they sneer and stop it. Now Duan Ren has completed the grouping and is not in a group with them, saying that it has nothing to do with them anymore , naturally there is no reason to stop it.

Not only that, Duan Ren also took away another very strong opponent, Ling Uchiha.

Everyone suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and turned their heads to look at Ling Uchiha who was standing in the front row. He was a hidden person. Although he was not as ostentatious as Hatake Broken Ren and had fewer battles, there was someone behind his back. It is not easy to guess Uchiha Ling's strength. Coupled with the elusive Sharingan, Uchiha Ling is definitely a difficult opponent.

Such results are the best.

Seeing that all the contestants had calmed down, Moonlight Night Dance said softly, "In that case, let's start..."
