Chapter 138 Preliminary Round Ends After

the referee announced Ino's victory, the medical team immediately entered the arena to treat Neji. The medical ninja looked at his injuries and immediately carried him away on a stretcher. Tenten was also sent to the hospital. She was beaten up by a strong man who did not want to reveal his name. The reason she was still holding on was that she wanted to watch Neji's game.

After the game, I naturally went to the hospital for treatment.

First it was Hinata, then Neji. The two heroes of the Hyuga family were admitted to the hospital for treatment one after another.

There are two more games to come.

The scene was filled with a strong smell of blood. Ino's ninjutsu cleansing the ground completely aroused Gaara's murderous intent. He used the "Sand Coffin" to crush Toss of the Sound Village. After that, with the constant comfort of Temari, Kankuro and the senior ninja Maki, he finally suppressed the anger in his heart.

The last match was between Rock Lee and Kiba Inuzuka. Both of them were extremely fast ninjas, but in the end Rock Lee was better and took the last spot. He was the only Genin from the third team led by Might Guy to enter the official competition.

One person from Class 3 advanced, two people from Class 7 advanced, two people from Class 8 advanced, and two people from Class 10 advanced. I can only say that the competition was very fair. Sasuke, Aburame Shino, Kankuro, Hinata, Temari, Shikamaru, Naruto, Ino, Gaara and Rock Lee, the ten of them advanced to the official competition, seven Konoha ninjas, three Sand Village ninjas, and all the people from the small ninja villages were eliminated. This is also fair.

Next is the draw.

Ino drew number one right away.

The final order of the matches is Ino vs. Temari, Gaara vs. Aburame Shino, Naruto vs. Rock Lee, Shikamaru vs. Hinata, Kankuro vs. Sasuke.

Because of the competition system, the ten people could not decide the top four. The Third Hokage and the leader of the Sand Village, Maki, had a brief discussion, and then let the winners of the two groups of Shikamaru and Hinata, and Kankuro and Sasuke play an extra game on the day of the competition to decide the top four.

Maki nodded and agreed, "Whatever you say, we agree to it ." The official competition will be held in a month.

The Third Hokage started his long speech by saying "Make good use of this month to enrich yourself and present your strongest form in the competition."

A month later, the ten of them will compete under the watchful eyes of daimyos, wealthy merchants and politicians from various countries to decide the final winner.

“It’s so boring.”

It was okay to compete with people from the same village, and she could even accept a life-and-death battle with an enemy ninja, but Ino really disliked this kind of monkey-show-like competition for people to watch. If a person possessed powerful martial arts, not to mention being superior to ordinary people, he should at least show respect, right?

Why should we let those weakling politicians come to watch them fight? It's not like the previous life where literature and sports are inseparable. Ninjutsu is not a national entertainment project. It is something that kills people. Is it necessary to let those stupid politicians come to watch and use these ninjas as stakes to bet on the outcome? In terms of deterrence, wouldn't it be more deterrent for a jonin to perform two large-scale ninjutsu?

The ninjas were fighting bloody battles below, and a group of people were sitting above watching and commenting. This feeling made her uncomfortable, as if she was some kind of exhibit.

Shikamaru glanced at her and whispered, "Hey, hey, a lazy bum like me with a bad reputation can say these things, but a genius like you can't say them."

"I'm just complaining."

The Third Hokage spoke for an hour and a half, then announced the disbandment and told everyone to go back to their homes and prepare.

Naruto ran out shouting. He had just watched Ino using wind-style ninjutsu and an idea suddenly occurred to him. He finally completed the development of wind-attribute chakra. He hurried to find Kakashi, hoping that he would teach him two wind-style ninjutsu. It didn't matter if he couldn't learn it right away, he could use five hundred shadow clones to practice!

Class 10 walked out of the central tower together and ran into Asuma.

Ino and Shikamaru both entered the official competition, only Choji was eliminated by Naruto, which shows that Asuma was a good teacher.

He said cheerfully, "You both played well. I'll treat you. Let's go eat ramen."

Choji was a little depressed after being defeated by Naruto. When he heard this, he was like, what? Eating ramen? Where's the barbecue?

He shook his shoulders and pushed his hips hard, forcing Shikamaru and Ino to the side, with a little disappointment in his tone: "Teacher Asuma, don't we always eat barbecue?"

Asuma laughed dryly. The multiplication of detonating talismans was really harmful! He also ate barbecue? He borrowed the money for the ramen from his good friend Di Lu! He had fallen to the point of borrowing money from a monk. How miserable!

"Eating barbecue all the time is bad for your blood vessels. Let's change the taste. Ramen is actually very delicious!" He forced himself to find an excuse.

Class 10 finally had a meal at Ichiraku Ramen, and I have to say, it was quite delicious.

After eating ramen, Ino said goodbye to Asuma and his friends and strolled home.

Because of Orochimaru's appearance at the Chunin Exam, all the jonin in the village were very busy, and the intelligence system was even busier. Haiyi didn't even go to watch Ino's match, but just asked about it after dinner.

She didn't say much. After all, Neji was from the Hyuga branch family. Defeating him would not bring as much reputation as defeating Chojuro.

Haiyi just asked briefly. Ningji was admitted to the hospital for treatment, but his daughter went home to eat as if nothing had happened. The result was self-evident.

He asked about the arrangements for the next month. The village would not assign any tasks to the participating Genin this month, so Ino would naturally leave the village and continue to learn from Tsunade.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Tsunade's whereabouts are too erratic. It would be difficult to find her without the support of an entire intelligence system.

The next day, Ino picked two flowers on the roadside and then went to the hospital to visit the two heroes of the Hyuga family.

Hinata was mainly physically exhausted and would be fine after a night's rest.

Neji also only had superficial injuries, but as a master of physical skills, these superficial injuries were no big deal.

Tenten was talking to Ningci in the ward, while the master and apprentice duo, Rock Lee and Might Guy, were jumping rope in the yard outside the hospital building.

"Hey, are you okay?" Just looking at Ino's expression, you would never tell that Neji's injuries were all caused by her. She just looked like a kind person passing by.

The two of them looked at her calmly, without any hatred in their eyes. No matter what outsiders thought, Ino had held back. If it was a life-and-death battle, Neji would have died long ago.

The fighting distance is a limitation for her, and not being able to kill someone in a fight with the same village is also a limitation. Of course, facing a female ninja, some important parts cannot be attacked, which is also a not-so-small limitation for Neji. Generally speaking, the match is fair, and both players fought with moderation.

"You must defeat the strong man of the Sand Village and avenge me!" Tiantian said proudly.

Now, the reputation of a certain strong man has spread among the group of Genin in Konoha.
