22 Chapter 22

Hey Hey hey!

Hiruzen, don't interfere with my system mission!

Seeing Uchiha Eikō and his group who were already under the pressure of Sarutobi Hiruzen to lower their heads into their crotch.

Helpless, Hayama could only stand up.

If you don't stand up, your own system tasks will probably be ruined…

"Lord Third…"

"And you!"

Just when Hayama spoke, Sarutobi Hiruzen turned his head and accused him: "Just after returning from the mission, can't you take a good rest!?"

Hayama's face froze, messy in the wind.

Is it because you don't have a good rest?

I'm the victim, OK…

After reluctantly vomiting a few words in his heart, Hayama said in a serious tone: "Lord Third, please allow me to compete with them!"

"Competition?" After hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned in confusion, and asked, "What is the competition?"

"I am alone, singled out seven of them!"

Hayama had a serious face, with firmness in his eyes.

"What?"

Hearing Hayama's request, Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly wondered if he had heard it wrong.

It's not a weird thing to compete against each other.

But it was the first time he heard about the one-to-seven competition.

(E/N: Before you get the idea about Kakashi and Rin being surrounded by Mist Ninjas, remember that this is WAY before that. Just putting this out there cuz I thought about it too.)

"Lord Third, please allow me!"

Hayama said again, his voice full of toughness.

The seven Uchiha on the side originally thought that the arrival of the Hokage would indicate that the competition would end without any problems.

Unexpectedly, Hayama actually mentioned it again…

The people who eat melon off the court have the same idea.

They thought that because of the arrival of the Hokage, this melon-eating party was over.

And Hayama who was arrogant before, boasting that he would fight one-to-seven, should have used the opportunity of the Hokage arriving to back down the challenge...

Unexpectedly, at this moment, he actually mentioned the fight again.

This made the people who thought that the eating of melons was over and was about to leave, all of a sudden began to talk.

"Are you serious?" Sarutobi Hiruzen asked again.

Although Hayama had just completed the mission and succeeded in breaking through a dozen people who were surrounding them.

This really proves that he has great strength.

But this is completely different from the competition in the same village.

After all, fighting for life and competition, One needs to go all out, but the other ends.

The former can do everything in its power, even breakthrough its own limits, and display all of its strength.

And the latter needs to be restrained, and at most, it can only display 80% of its strength.

So Hayama really has to pick seven. According to Sarutobi Hiruzen, the odds of winning are small.

"Yes! Please allow me, Lord Third!"

Hayama answered while putting his fist at his left chest resembling a certain anime from his previous life's salute.

"What about you?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen turned around and asked the Uchihas behind him, "Do you guys want to fight?"

What?

When they heard Hayama who requested that the competition should continue, A bad premonition suddenly arose in the hearts of the Uchiha group.

Because Hayama is too calm. It was as if he was already holding the winning ticket.

This feeling made the Uchiha group feel very disturbed.

They suddenly felt like they had fallen into a trap.

But at this time, if you want to go back, it is already too late.

Hearing the question from the Hokage, the Uchiha group could only bite the bullet and nod their heads.

See? Uchiha also agreed to this matter.

Sarutobi Hiruzen pondered for a while before saying, "Since you both agree, then I won't stop it."

"But since it's a competition, you shall enter three rounds!"

After speaking, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at both sides and asked Hayama and Uchiha for their opinions.

"I accept!"

Hayama accepted the offer.

As long as you can beat the opponent to complete the task.

The three rounds in the competitions can also extend the time people are watching him, and he could get more prestige points.

The Uchihas also nodded and agreed.

"Good..."

Seeing that there was no objection from both sides, Sarutobi Hiruzen said, "In this case, let's follow the way in the ninja school!"

"First, it is not allowed to attack the vital parts of the opponent's body."

"Second, those who fall to the ground are defeated."

"Third, you must make a promise of confrontation before the fight and the promise of reconciliation after the fight."

"This third article is unnecessary, right?"

After listening to Sarutobi Hiruzen's long-winded words, Hayama couldn't help but complain.

They are already grown-ups, but they are still getting treated as kids when fighting?

"No!" Sarutobi Hiruzen categorically said: "Rules are rules!"

"Alright..."

Hayama didn't chase this problem any further as he knew that if he disagrees, Hiruzen would cancel the match

He doesn't know what the use of this kind of deceitful thing for adults to execute.

Is it true that after finishing the seal of reconciliation, can reconciliation really be possible?

Isn't this self-deception?

"Okay, since we all agree, let's set the venue in the Chūnin exam."

Seeing that neither side had any more opinions, Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded in satisfaction.

And for both sides, an open space was found.

The crowd eating melons outside the venue also became noisy again at this moment.

A group of people rushed in the direction of Chūnin's meeting place, rushing forward.

Attempt to first come, first serve, and occupy a place with a wide view.
