I rely on myself

Chapter 726 The Fifth Round

After a commotion, the people of the Snow Country turned their attention back to the competition.

After some cleaning, all the ice in the venue could be said to have been cleared away, and as long as the potholes were not too exaggerated, no one paid attention to them.

Soon the venue was restored to a considerable degree, and naturally the start of the next round of competition was getting closer.

"Is it my illusion? Why do I always feel like a storm is coming, as if something terrible is going to happen soon?"

After some hesitation, Chiyomi finally expressed the inexplicable feeling in her heart, and her words instantly reminded others.

"I thought I was the only one who had this feeling, but I didn't expect you to have the same feeling, Chiyomi. To be honest, I have the same bad feeling as you, as if something big is going to happen in Konoha next. I always have the urge to leave immediately."

Xin said this, and as two people had already said this, the remaining Uchiha Rei, Mizunoe Shun and Kitajo Koichi also said that they had a bad feeling.

If it was just one person, then it could be said to be an illusion, but if five people had the same feeling, then it is worth pondering.

Naturally, Lie and the other five would not treat this feeling as an illusion. They started discussing it, but none of them came to a useful conclusion. Naturally, they had to ask Jie, the team leader, for advice.

In fact, when Chiyomi took the lead in speaking, Jie had already been secretly paying attention to the five people. Seeing that the five of them had noticed something, he felt relieved.

Although it is impossible to see the secret, the fact that they can vaguely see something despite the severe lack of intelligence shows that their talent is unquestionable.

However, although he was relieved, Jie still gave a warning: "Something will happen in Konoha in a while, but it has little to do with us in the Snow Country. Just be careful not to get implicated. Next, don't leave casually, just follow me closely."

After hearing what Jie said, the five of Lie looked at each other, and they could see shock in each other's eyes. However, they were not ignorant people. After each of them responded with a "yes", they all returned to their previous appearance, but it could be seen as long as you looked closely.

The four of them, including Lie, were undoubtedly on high alert at this time. Their bodies were tense and ready to take action at any time. At the same time, they would glance in other directions from time to time to not miss any movement.

In response to the five people's vigilance, Jie did not say anything to ask them to stop. After all, his own vigilance range undoubtedly far exceeded that of five people.

Even if something really happened, Jie would undoubtedly notice it earlier than Lie and the other five. However, it would be a good thing to train them through this opportunity, so Jie did not stop Lie and the others.

Soon, as the competition venue was thoroughly cleaned, the fifth round, which was also the final round of the day, was about to begin. At this time, in the highest level of the audience seats, the Fourth Kazekage suddenly laughed for no reason.

"Hehehehehe..."

This sudden change naturally attracted the attention of the Third Hokage, the organizer. He was also polite and asked directly: "Lord Kazekage, may I ask what is this?"

"Ah, I'm sorry, Hokage. I'm really looking forward to the upcoming match, so I couldn't help but do this. Please forgive me." Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't quite believe what the Fourth Kazekage said at first. After all, the two sides in the match did seem a little different, but that was at most a battle at the Chunin level.

As the shadow of a village, whether it was him or the Fourth Kazekage, who had fought his way out of a sea of ​​blood and corpses and had experienced hundreds of battles, how could they be excited about such a game that was almost like playing house.

However, looking at the other party's expectant eyes which did not seem fake, Sarutobi Hiruzen began to doubt whether his judgment was wrong. At this time, Lin Yuan also interrupted the topic.

"If I remember correctly, the two contestants in the next match are Uchiha Sasuke and Gaara. There is no need to say much about Uchiha Sasuke. After all, as a descendant of the Uchiha clan, he must be very strong. And Gaara is said to be the fastest to pass the second round of exams, with only half a day left, which shows that he must be very strong. It is no wonder that Lord Kazekage is looking forward to such a strong duel."

"Hmm... what Lord Lin Yuan said makes sense. The next game is indeed worth looking forward to."

On the surface, the Third Hokage agreed with Lin Yuan's words, but he did not agree in his heart. After all, the reason had been mentioned before. No matter how powerful it was, this match was at most at the Chunin level, not that serious. Therefore, Sarutobi Hiruzen was still doubtful.

The Fourth Kazekage was well aware of this, but he had no intention of explaining it. He just watched the game below with anticipation.

As the fifth round of the game began, Gaara was the first to appear on the field with an impatient look on his face, and even used the Sand Flash Technique to appear directly on the field. Naturally, the proud Sasuke was not willing to be outdone.

Accompanied by a whirlwind blowing out of nowhere, his figure instantly appeared on the field the next moment. This was also some kind of instant body movement technique.

The two's show-off appearance instantly ignited the enthusiasm of the surrounding audience.

After all, most of the wealthy businessmen and nobles who came to watch the match came just for this match. After all, one side was the descendant of the Uchiha clan, a once famous wealthy family in the ninja world, and the other side was the son of the current Kazekage of the Sand Village.

Just from these, we can infer that the strength of both sides must be strong, and this strong confrontation between the two will definitely be very exciting.

The two players on the field don't know what the audience around them think, nor do they care. Right now, they only have each other in their eyes.

Long before the Chunin Exams, the two of them had faced each other once. Although it was only a brief meeting and they had never even fought directly, both of them felt that the other was quite strong.

However, having said that, both of them felt that they were stronger and neither of them had any intention of admitting defeat. Even now that the game had not even started, the momentum of the two had already begun to clash.

Looking at the appearance of the two people, Genma Shiranui felt very helpless and even couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"You two... Never mind. Seeing that you two both look so impatient, I won't say much. The fifth round, which is also the final round of today, will officially begin now!"
