Konoha: The Gu Master Creates the Hokage.

Chapter 153 List of Players for the Third Final Match (First and Second Updates)

"Draw lots".

With a cold expression, Ibiki Morino walked to the center of the venue with the lottery box.

Oil Girl Zhihui and others spontaneously lined up in front of him.

There are fifteen number plates inside.

Ibiki Morino explained, "From low to high, the person who draws an adjacent number is your opponent."

Yu Nu Zhihui seemed to be deep in thought.

Will Tsunade intervene?

While the lottery may seem fair, it's quite easy for the organizers to pull some strings.

The saying goes, "You can guard against a thousand things, but it's hard to guard against a thief within your own family."

But then he thought, it didn't matter who he drew.

Gaara is the only one who's more troublesome.

To be more precise, it wasn't Gaara, but Shukaku.

In terms of size alone, even a pig, a crocodile, a horse, and an elephant combined cannot compare to the Tailed Beast.

It's probably highly unlikely that Shiki Aburame can defeat Shukaku.

Fortunately, he is fast and has good defense, so kiting him from the side shouldn't be a big problem.

what.

If Shukaku escapes, it means Orochimaru's plan will be brought forward.

What's the point of fighting then?

Yu Nuzhihui reached into the lottery box and took out number seven.

Yes, seven is a very magical number.

"The draw is over. Arrange yourselves in pairs according to your numbers."

Ibiki Morino glanced at everyone and said.

"I am number one."

Sasuke Uchiha walked forward expressionlessly.

He was very happy to draw number one.

In his view, this foreshadowed that he would get first place in the Chunin Exams.

"Huh! Why is it Sasuke? Why not Shiki?"

Naruto Uzumaki stood dejectedly beside him.

"..."

Uchiha Sasuke twitched the corner of his mouth.

He never expected it to be Naruto Uzumaki.

It seems we'll have to show our true skills to win.

Fortunately, Naruto Uzumaki is a taijutsu ninja, which presents him with many disadvantages.

"For you, the outcome is the same."

Sasuke Uchiha said calmly, "It's all the same, it's a failure anyway."

"You rascal, don't underestimate the power of youth!"

Naruto Uzumaki gave a thumbs-up, his teeth gleaming, and said, "One month from now, I will defeat everyone and take first place!"

"Okay, good luck."

Uchiha Sasuke said casually.

"hateful!"

Naruto was furious and said in a fit of rage, "I'm definitely going to beat you up!"

"Numbers three and four, step forward."

Ibiki Morino interrupted their friendly conversation.

"Number three is me."

Temari said somewhat uneasily.

She prayed in her heart that she would never encounter Gaara and Shiki Aburame.

Soon, her prayers took effect.

Because the one who stepped forward was Nara Shikamaru, whose face was full of helplessness.

Temari breathed a sigh of relief.

Nara Shikamaru sighed deeply.

He hates dealing with women more than anything in his life, especially beautiful women.

That would definitely be quite troublesome.

The only lucky thing was that they didn't encounter any ninjas from their own village.

and many more.

This is unfortunate.

If he were to encounter Yu Nu Zhihui, he would simply raise the white flag and surrender, and no one would blame him.

After all, he really couldn't beat them.

But Temari is a ninja from Sunagakure, so it wouldn't be good for her to admit defeat right away.

"I am number five."

Before Ibiki Morino could speak, Kiba Inuzuka stepped forward.

Red Maru barked twice on his head to show its support.

Hinata Hyuga glanced at Shiki Aburame, and her anxiety subsided.

"It's Hinata?"

Kiba's face immediately fell, and he muttered, "How are we supposed to fight this?"

As his teammate, he knew Hinata Hyuga's strength all too well.

"Number Seven".

Aburame Shiki followed Hinata Hyuga outside.

Gaara grinned, unleashing a ferocious killing intent.

After the preliminary rounds, he has identified Shiki Aburame as one of his most valuable opponents.

Now that his wish has come true, he is quite excited.

The genin present all felt a slight tremor in their hearts.

Oil Girl Zhihui remained calm.

He had anticipated this, so it wasn't surprising at all.

My only thought is that Tsunade really doesn't cheat.

"I never expected that Zhihui would be in Gaara's group."

Naruto Uzumaki said with a grim expression, "This guy really knows how to kill."

Gaara's bloodlust during the preliminaries instilled in him an instinctive sense of disgust.

In the manga, Naruto Uzumaki has never directly killed anyone.

One reason is that he is the protagonist of a shonen manga.

Secondly, it's because of his personality.

"don’t worry."

Sasuke Uchiha said softly, "He won't be a match for Shiki."

"This guy's dead meat!"

Kankuro, standing in the elimination zone, said excitedly.

Aburame Shiki was fast, but that was meaningless against Gaara, who possessed absolute defense.

Now his crow can get its revenge.

The thought of crows brought him to the point of speechlessness and heartache.

For a puppeteer, puppets are like a wife—indispensable.

His wife was hit by a car and her body was mangled.

"Gaara?"

Tsunade frowned slightly.

Why is this kid so unlucky?

Her lucky kiss seemed to have lost its effect.

Thinking back to her bet with Zhihui, the oil lady, she had a bad feeling again.

"Number nine and number ten."

Ibiki Morino spoke up to remind him.

Although Gaara was filled with murderous intent, Gaara, as an interrogator, was already used to it and simply ignored it.

"Finally, it's my turn!"

Rock Lee performed two somersaults onto the stage, excitedly declaring, "Come on, Neji! Let's discuss youth together!"

He had already noticed that Hyuga Neji had drawn number ten.

"..."

Hyuga Neji just wanted to escape.

As a member of the Hyuga clan, he has always maintained an elegant demeanor. His greatest enemies are Rock Lee and Might Guy.

"Is it really my two adorable students fighting amongst themselves?"

Matt Kay looked pained and said, "Youth is truly full of bitterness."

Who do you think will win?

Kakashi Hatake was always eager to stir up trouble.

"have no idea."

Matt Kay shook his head and said.

"I thought you were going to mention Neji."

Kakashi Hatake was somewhat surprised.

"Lee learned that ninjutsu; perhaps this is the best arrangement."

Matt Kay suddenly laughed and shouted, "Lee! Challenge the genius! Let's make the most of our youth!"

"yes!"

Lee Locke trembled all over as he said, "Teacher, I will definitely live up to my youth! I will give it my all!"

"..."

Hyuga Neji hesitated, then turned his head away and looked away.

"The Eight Gates Formation?"

Kakashi Hatake said softly, "That's certainly interesting."

Number 11 and number 12 are Yamanaka Ino versus Zaku.

There's nothing to say about that.

Among the fifteen winners, Zaku was the only genin who was not from Konoha or Sunagakure, and also the weakest.

With the buffs from Aburame Shiki, Yamanaka Ino has a high probability of winning.

Numbers 13 and 14 are Aburame Torune and Kurama Yakumo.

To be honest, Aburame Zhihui doesn't know who will win.

Aburame Torune possesses nano-sized poisonous insects, and these insects are immune to illusions.

But Yakumo Kurama's illusions are different.

She can make the fake seem real.

If it's real, then is it still an illusion?

Number 15, Shino Aburame, was completely ignored.

"Lord Hokage."

Ibiki Morino presented a scroll with both hands.

That's fine.

Tsunade glanced at the scroll and said, "The finals will begin in one month."

After she finished speaking, she turned and left.

With her taking the lead, the rest of the people also left one after another.

"Goodbye, Zhihui-kun."

Yamanaka Ino waved goodbye to Aburame Shiki.

Although Zaku isn't strong, she still has to undergo special training along with Nara Shikamaru.

Hinata Hyuga and others were the same.

"You guys are all just so-so."

Kakashi Hatake stepped forward and said.

"I think it's fine."

Naruto Uzumaki gave a soft snort and said.

I think so too.

Uchiha Sasuke retorted defiantly.

"Good, very energetic."

Kakashi Hatake was relieved to see that they were unaffected.

He looked at Yu Nu Zhihui.

In terms of luck, he was the unluckiest, encountering the powerful and bloodthirsty Gaara.

A slight mishap could result in injury.

However, considering Shiki Aburame's strength, Kakashi Hatake remained optimistic.

"I will be giving you intensive training over the next month."

Kakashi Hatake paused for a moment, then said, "Except for Shiki."

"Kakashi-sensei."

Aburame Shiki asked, "Could you teach us the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique?"

Shadow Clone is different from ordinary clone techniques; it has a physical form and a certain degree of resistance to attacks.

But most importantly, after the clone is released, the clone's memories and experiences will return to the original body.

This is essentially a multiplier experience card.

Of course, there are also drawbacks.

It consumes too much chakra; an ordinary ninja couldn't withstand it.

In addition, the sudden return of too many memories and experiences can be a huge shock to one's mental state, and might even lead to sudden death.

"Multiple Shadow Clone Technique?"

Kakashi Hatake paused slightly, his expression troubled, and said, "This ninjutsu is very dangerous. Without a massive amount of chakra..."

He suddenly stopped.

He discovered that his three students all had good chakra levels.

Especially Naruto Uzumaki, it's just outrageous.

"I can teach you."

Kakashi Hatake changed his tune, saying, "But Naruto learned the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, while Sasuke and Shiki learned the Shadow Clone Technique."

The only difference between the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique and the Shadow Clone Technique is the number of clones.

The former can create thousands of shadow clones.

The latter usually consists of several.

Yu Nu Zhihui nodded.

He had no objections.

He proposed learning shadow clones simply to help his two teammates.

It's useless to him.

Because the shadow clone cannot separate the Gu worms.

Uchiha Sasuke also didn't have any particular thoughts.

It would be easy for him to learn Shadow Clone Technique; Mikoto Uchiha could teach him.

However, the Uchiha clan focused all their skills on the Sharingan.

They don't care about the shadow clones.

After all, shadow clones can't pilot a Gundam, which is Susanoo.

"Eh?"

Naruto scratched his head and asked, "So I have this much chakra?"

That hurts, bro.

Kakashi Hatake's lips twitched, and he almost fainted.

They have a treasure trove but don't realize it.

So what if your chakra is amazing!

See you at the first training ground tomorrow morning.

Kakashi Hatake waved his hand and said, "Dismissed!"

Just as Yu Nuzhihui was about to leave, a familiar figure appeared in front of him.

Although she wore an ANBU mask, her long purple hair already gave her away.

"Zhihui, come with me."

Uzuki Yugao spoke up, "The Hokage is waiting for you."

Yu Nu Zhihui nodded.

After greeting his two teammates, he followed Uzuki Yugao out of the tower.

Not far away, Tsunade stood quietly, lost in thought.

"teacher."

Oil Girl Zhihui approached.

"Don't go running around for the next month."

Tsunade cautioned, "It's best to stay by my side to avoid running into Orochimaru."

"What about the special training for Class Seven?"

Oil Girl Zhihui was slightly taken aback and asked.

"What kind of special training?"

Tsunade asked with some doubt, "What else can Kakashi teach you?"

Kakashi Hatake: Are you being polite?

"Shadow Clone Technique".

"Oil Girl Zhihui answered."

"I'll teach you."

Tsunade said without hesitation.

Seeing her resolute expression, You Nuzhihui knew that saying anything more would be useless, so he agreed.

"Perfect timing, you can learn to be the Hokage. You'll be in charge of all the affairs of Konoha for the next month."

Tsunade suddenly curled her lips into a smug smile, revealing the satisfaction of her successful scheme.

"I knew you were up to no good."

"I'm annoyed," said Zhihui, the woman from the oil shop.

"How dare you speak like that?"

Tsunade reached out and pinched his cheek hard with both hands, saying, "I'm your teacher!"

Would a teacher do something so childish?

Oil Girl Zhihui countered with a question.

"Why not? Teachers are allowed to do whatever they want to their students."

Tsunade smiled happily.

"..."

Zhihui, the oil worker, wrote down her bad behavior in his notebook.

Next time, I'll have to find a way to pinch it back.

"go home!"

Tsunade waved her hand dismissively and said, "Go to work tomorrow!"

"Is the afternoon alright?"

Oil Girl Zhihui walked out side by side with her.

"fine."

Tsunade casually remarked, "After today's preliminary rounds, most of the ninjas from other villages will leave, which will greatly reduce the pressure on Konoha."

"Is there any situation in Sunagakure?"

"Oil Girl Zhihui asked."

"no."

Tsunade paused, then asked, "You want to know information about Gaara?"

I guess so.

Oil Girl Zhihui looked completely indifferent.

"If it's not Gaara, could it be Temari?"

Tsunade suddenly had a question.

"...?"

Yu Nu Zhihui rolled his eyes at her. "What are you thinking?"

"No respect for elders!"

Tsunade reached out to flick his forehead, but he dodged, and she couldn't help but purse her lips.

I think you're the one who's disrespectful.

Aburame Shiki noticed Tsunade's change.

Although it is still small, it is indeed more lively or playful than before.

Simply put, she also developed a more feminine personality.

Tsunade's femininity used to come entirely from her curvaceous figure.

"I've already had the Anbu gather information about Gaara."

As Tsunade walked, she said, "We should be able to see it tomorrow."

"Thank you, teacher."

Oil Girl Zhihui felt a warmth in her heart.

This woman is becoming more and more considerate.

Back at the Senju family home, Tsunade took off her Hokage robes and lay down on the sofa, completely slacking off.

Her fair arms were resting on her head, her sleeveless top draped softly over her shoulders, and her legs were outstretched, her bare feet gently swaying.

Yu Nu Zhihui openly admired it for a few seconds before turning around and going back to his room.

With nothing else to do, he began cultivating.

As night fell, Jingyin opened the door and returned home.

With the Chunin Exams approaching, the number of ninjas surged, leading to more fights, making hospitals the busiest places.

Shizune glanced at Tsunade sleeping on the sofa and shook her head.

But she didn't disturb them. She glanced at the oil-loving Zhihui who was cultivating, then went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

Two chapters combined. One chapter is still unfinished; I'll update during the day.
