Chapter 9:Chunin Exam

Boom!

Amidst the muffled sound of fists and feet intersecting, the two figures retreated separately.

This is a remote practice field, and the two people in the field are Shinji and Haku who are practicing gymnastics.

Seeing that his offensive was resolved again, Shinji frowned slightly.

After these days of sparring, he can clearly feel that he is improving, but no matter how much he improves, Haku always gives him the illusion that if he puts more effort, he will win!

As a result, he was repelled time and time again.

"Try the breathing method!" After making up his mind, Shinji looked at Haku: "Be careful, I'm going to use all my strength this time!"

Haku nodded cooperatively, his face full of solemnity.

"Full concentration!"

call.

After letting out a breath, Shinji's figure flashed, and he swung a straight fist straight to Haku's face.

"!...."

A trace of surprise flashed in the Haku white eyes, as if he didn't expect Shinji's speed to suddenly become so fast.

bang, bang ,bang.

In an instant, the two exchanged four or five punches.

Every time Shinji swung his fist, he exhaled mist from his mouth. Every move seemed to be stepping on a certain rhythm, and his speed and strength were greatly improved compared to before.

This made Haku very uncomfortable, and rarely showed panic.

call.

Letting out another breath, Shinji's speed increased again, his figure flickered, he circled behind Haku, and then swept out with a side leg!

But at the moment when the side leg swept Haku, with a. "shua",

Haku jumped up quickly, not only avoiding Shinji's side leg, but also lightly tapped the side leg that Shinji swept out with his toes, using his strength to reflexively retaliate Shinji hit the side leg.

"this!?"

Shinji was taken aback, and had no time to change his moves to dodge, so he had to forcefully raise his arms to protect his vitals.

Boom.

Accompanied by the muffled sound, Shinji was repelled again, and the rhythm of his breathing was disrupted.

Feeling the slight numbness in his arm, Shinji curled his lips: "Haku, the strength of your leg is wrong, are you giving in to me?"

Haku panted: "Student Shinji, parrying your attack is already very difficult, I don't have the energy to let you on purpose."

Shinji shook his arm to relieve the pain: "You are just letting me."

Haku did not continue to explain, but walked to the sidelines and handed Shinji a bottle of water: "Student Shinji, let's take a break."

Shinji took the water and drank it silently.

He knew that Haku was keenly aware of the limit of his physical strength, not only secretly lowered the intensity of confrontation, but also actively asked for a rest to take care of his face.

After sorting out the fight just now, Shinji confirmed that the "breathing method" has obvious benefits for body skills.

Without using the 'breathing method', based on his physical skills, he couldn't pose any threat to Haku.

And once the 'breathing method' is used, even in a half-baked state after only two weeks of practice, it can obviously cause a little trouble for haku.

"The use of water breathing is still not proficient, and the rhythm is easily disrupted."

Shinji secretly reviewed.

Haku on the side drank his saliva, and asked casually: "Student Shinji, can I ask, you are already very good, why are you still cultivating so hard?"

Shinji slandered in his heart: "I said it was to protect the ninja world, do you believe it?"

The ghost knows what will invade the ninja world next time, he dare not slack off.

Seeing that Shinji was silent, Haku tentatively asked: "Is it because of that person? Why did he do such a thing?"

Shinji glanced at Haku, then looked away: "I don't know either."

What Haku was referring to was, of course, Itachi Uchiha who slaughtered the entire clan.

It is not surprising that he has such doubts.

Because many people in the village have the same doubts. Everyone doesn't understand why Uchiha Itachi, the young patriarch, wants to destroy his family with his own hands.

But Shinji has an intuition that Haku cares too much about him and the Uchiha clan, although Haku conceals this very well.

the next day.

"What, Chunin exam?"

Shinji in the classroom was a little surprised.

On the podium, Mr. Iruka was still talking about the various arrangements of the Ninja School during the Chunin Exam.

To put it simply, junior students like Shinji are going on vacation.

When it comes to the Chunin Exam, Shinji subconsciously thinks of the Chunin Exam in Naruto's episode in the original book.

But in fact the Chunin Exams are held every three years.

There are also large and small scales.

Like Naruto, the scale was very large, but under normal circumstances, the scale would be smaller.

The venue is not necessarily in Konoha Village. All villages that have an alliance or cooperative relationship with Konoha are in principle eligible to host the Chunin Exam.

"Great, you can take a vacation!"

"I heard that many villages will send people to participate this time."

"Isn't there a good show to watch?"

The students all smiled happily, as if the village was about to hold a festival.

In fact, the Chunin Exam is no different from the festival. Villagers in the village can still buy tickets to watch the final final.

After leaving the ninja school, Shinji and Haku wandered the streets.

Suddenly, there was a noise in the distance.

Shinji followed the prestige and saw a procession approaching from the end of the street, with a magnificent carriage in the center of the procession.

Haku also looked over: "It seems to be the symbol of the kingdom of ghosts. Will the maidens of the kingdom of ghosts also participate in this Chunin exam?"

Shinji's face froze: "The witch of the ghost country?"

Haku said: "Well, the person in the carriage is probably the Miko from the Kingdom of Ghosts."

"Why did she run to Konoha? Could it be that my illusion has been dispelled?" Shinji, who was secretly startled, looked in the direction of the Ghost Kingdom team, and thought, "Is this going to the Hokage Building?"

Finding that Shinji's face was a bit ugly, Haku asked with concern: "What's the matter, is there any discomfort?"

Shinji shook his head and left the street.

Even knowing that Shion's presence in Konoha was abnormal, he couldn't take any action.

This is the central area of ​​Konoha, and it is only a few streets away from the Hokage Building. Any action he takes may lead to unpredictable consequences.

The only thing he can do now is to pray that Shion hasn't lifted the psychological suggestion he imposed.

In apprehension, Shinji spent the day.

There was no Anbu who came to control him that day, and there were no rumors about him or mangekyo Sharingan, as if the arrival of the witches of the ghost country had nothing to do with him.

And later in the day, the teams from Sand Hidden Village, Kusanagi Village, waterfallHidden Village, Taki Shinobi Village, and river Hidden Village arrived in Konoha one after another.

Hearing the news, Shinji was full of doubts.

In my impression, the relationship between Konoha and Kirigakure(mist) is very tense, and Kirigakure seems to have never sent anyone to take Konoha's Chunin exam.

There were obviously more people sent by other Ninja Village than usual.

"It seems that participating in the Chunin Exam is a fake. It is the purpose of these villages to verify the rumors that the Uchiha clan was exterminated."

After thinking about it for a while, he figured out why these ninja villages were so active in sending people to participate in this Chunin exam.

You must know that the Uchiha family is a wealthy family that has been passed down for nearly a thousand years. It is a ninja family that has already stood at the top of the ninja world before the establishment of the major ninja villages.

So the news of Uchiha being exterminated is a blockbuster to the entire ninja world.

In the evening, Shinji did not relax, and continued to pull Haku to practice gymnastics with himself.

During the break, while wiping his sweat with a towel, he asked casually, "Why does the Kingdom of Ghosts send people to take the Chunin exam? They also have a ninja village?"

Haku shook his head: "I've never heard of a ninja village in the land of ghosts."

"What is the witch from the ghost country doing in the village?"

Haku smiled and said, "I'm not sure, but I heard that the witch from the Ghost Kingdom spent a day in the village and visited many shops."

"oh."

Shinji responded, thoughtfully.

rustle,

Suddenly, there was a sound from the bushes beside the practice field.

Shinji and Haku looked over.

I saw a figure coming out of the bushes.

She is small, wearing a gorgeous dress, her mouth is bulging, as if she is chewing something, and she is holding a bunch of three-color balls in her hand.

Shion! ?

Shinji was shocked and recognized the other party's identity.

This figure that came out of the bushes in a panic was not someone else, but the witch of the ghost country he had just talked to haku.

Shion didn't seem to expect that there would be someone in such a remote place, she made a booing gesture at Shinji and haku, and then she was about to sneak away with her gown.

But after walking a few steps, she stopped suddenly, tilted her head and ran in front of Shinji, staring at Shinji: "You"
