Naruto: After hiding for a long time, he became the leader of the three ninjas

“I think that’s good.

A strong person should not complain about the environment. If you have the ability, even if there is only one spot, it is enough. "

Hearing his words, the Mizukage and the Kazekage's faces couldn't help but darken.

Just as they opened their mouths to say something else, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had been silent the whole time, finally spoke:

"My Lords, please be patient.

Please rest assured that we will make this exam as fair as possible.

How about we all listen to what the examiner has to say next before discussing it?"

Chapter 74 Who says you can’t use puppetry without a puppet?

On the other side, facing the discussions in the room, Kato Dan seemed to have expected it and did not show any impatience.

After a while of silence, when the discussion on the field gradually died down, Kato Dan cleared his throat and spoke again:

"Ahem!

I believe you have already seen the battle table on the screen above. Here, I will explain it to you first. "

As he spoke, he suddenly raised his right hand and pointed at the space at the top of the battle table and said:

"The name that appears there last will be the only loser of this exam."

Hearing this, the candidates were slightly stunned.

Without waiting for the discussion to start again, Kato Dan immediately continued:

“The loser of each match will advance to the next round and continue fighting with another loser.

The loser will go on to the next round, so the person who finally reaches that position is the final loser of this exam."

After saying this, Kato paused and gave the candidates time to understand.

After everyone showed an expression of understanding, he spoke again:

“Well, the mechanics of the schedule are clear now.

Next, let me talk about the requirements for 1-on-1 duels.

During the game, you are not allowed to maliciously kill your opponent, otherwise you will be judged as a loser.

When necessary, I will take action as an examiner.

There are no restrictions on the form of the duel, and you can use ninja tools, ninjutsu, etc...."

Just as Kato Dan was explaining the details of the duel, the shadows on the stage finally woke up and understood the rules of the battle table.

However, after hearing Kato Dan's words, Mizukage Karatachi Yagura keenly sensed the trick. He smiled and said to Sarutobi Hiruzen:

"Haha, the examiner said from the beginning to the end that there can only be one loser in this game, but he didn't say that person is the loser, right?"

Hearing this, the other Kages also showed thoughtful expressions and looked towards Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Facing everyone's gaze, Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled, then spoke:

"Yes, Mizukage-sama, you are right.

In this assessment, not everyone who wins will necessarily be qualified to be promoted to Chunin.

Compared with winning or losing, what we want to see more is other things that these candidates show in the competition.

Strength, strategy, character, etc. are the final criteria for judgment."

Hearing this, the others nodded in agreement.

If it is known that there is only one loser, then it is very likely that some candidates will deliberately lose the previous games in order to meet a weaker opponent.

After all, judging from the competition system, the opponents will definitely become weaker as time goes by.

But if we really encounter such an opportunistic candidate, I am afraid that no one here will acknowledge such a qualified person.

"Old bitch..."

Thinking of this, Karutagi Yagura couldn't help but look at Sarutobi Hiruzen and said silently in his heart.

This guy deliberately did not tell the candidates the real assessment criteria, probably to test the candidates' character.

But here, Karutagi Yagura had indeed wrongly accused Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Because it was not him who proposed this competition system and rules, but Kagura who was standing behind him with a righteous look on her face.

The inspiration for this competition system came from a scene that Kagura saw in a comic in her previous life. It was a passionate comic drawn by an author who liked to play mahjong.

Back to the main text, Kato Dan below has already finished explaining the details of the duel to the candidates.

"Do you understand everything?"

He looked at the candidate in front of him and asked solemnly.

Seeing the candidates nodding, he said no more.

At this time, the screen above also released the first group's duel list.

Looking up, Kato Dan said to everyone:

"Okay, the two candidates whose names are displayed above will stay. The rest of you will return to the stands."

After a while, the candidates slowly dispersed, and only two people were left in the huge duel arena.

One of them is Scorpion from the Sand Village.

Today he was wearing a black robe and his face still had a calm expression.

Standing opposite him was a Genin from the Hidden Mist Village.

His name...

Forget it, this passerby who won't survive more than half a chapter is not worth remembering his name...

I have to say that this year's Hidden Mist Village is indeed very weak.

Among the 32 people who finally passed the assessment, including Ao, only 3 people from the Hidden Mist Village entered the final assessment.

And the person standing in front of Scorpion now is one of them.

Looking at the Scorpion in front of him, the Genin actually revealed a smug smile.

He looked at the scorpion, which was a head shorter than him, and did not attack first. Instead, he spoke calmly:

“I didn’t expect my luck to be so good that my opponent in the first round is you.

I originally thought about losing on purpose in the first round so that I could be matched with weaker opponents later on.

But since I met you, it seems that it is not necessary."

"Good luck?"

After hearing his words, although Scorpion still looked calm, he couldn't help but repeat it.

But seeing his appearance, the Genin laughed. He pointed at Scorpion confidently and said:

“I haven’t rested these days.

A detailed investigation of other candidates has already been conducted.

You are Scorpion from the Sand Village, and you are known as a rare puppetry genius in the Sand Village."

In response to what he said, Scorpion did not respond and continued to stand there calmly.

But the Genin didn't care and continued to speak to himself:

“Haha, a genius in puppetry.

If I met you on ordinary days, I would probably just avoid you.

But I have investigated carefully and found out that you only brought four puppets with you to Konoha this time!

And in the exam that day, almost all of your four puppets were damaged and could not fight again.

No matter how powerful you are, what can a puppeteer do without his puppet?

You are so weak now!"

Hearing this, Scorpion finally reacted. He looked up at the chattering enemy in front of him and said with a little impatience:

"Are you done?

So can we start fighting now?"

"Ah!

"Pretending to be big-breasted!"

The Genin cursed inwardly at Scorpion's reaction.

But at this time he had lost interest in speaking, and instead pulled out the kunai from his waist with a grim smile on his face.

In his opinion, this so-called genius would be easily defeated by him in the next second.

These so-called geniuses probably never thought that they would see such a day.

The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. Finally, he could no longer suppress his excitement. He pushed hard with his feet and suddenly pounced on the scorpion.

However, just as he jumped into the air, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes and his body suddenly became stiff.

Snapped!

He seemed to have lost all his strength and suddenly fell from mid-air.

His whole body was stiff and he tried to raise his head, looking at Scorpion with an expression of disbelief.

At this time, Scorpion had already stretched out his right hand. From the five fingers of his right hand, blue chakra lines extended out and sank into the limbs of the Genin.

"You... this is..."

Apparently, the genin had not lost the ability to speak.

But the next second, a hint of fear appeared in his eyes.

Because at this moment he found that his right hand holding the kunai was stabbing towards his stomach uncontrollably.

"No...
