The second round of the Chunin Exam, the team competition! Rin and Kakashi are anxiously waiting for the late king Obito. There are still five minutes before the second exam, but Obito still hasn't arrived.
"Is Obito late again?" Duke asked kindly. He could help with the written test yesterday, but he couldn't help today. In the competition, there would be physical contact, and his ice clone would be seen through.
"hehe!"
Lin laughed dryly and glanced at the clock secretly. There were three minutes left. Kakashi paced back and forth, very impatient, scratching his silver hair into a mess. He was almost driven crazy by Obito.
"I'm going back to the team now. See you later. And...good luck to you all."
Kakashi and Lin were waiting anxiously. Duke was very tactful and walked away. He and Esma got together to study the group list for the competition. As the name suggests, the two teams in the team competition will advance to the next round, and the loser will be eliminated.
Duke looked at the competition groupings and found it very interesting that almost every team would meet a Genin team from the same village in the first round. It was said that the groupings were arranged by drawing lots by the team leader, which was fair, just and open, without any human manipulation. Anyone with a little bit of brains would have doubts about this, it was too fake, even kindergarten wouldn't fool children like this.
"I'm great too!" Asuma felt a little jealous. Out of his male instinct, he didn't like Hong praising other boys.

"Amazing! Rather than a victory for the team, this is more of a victory for Kakashi alone."
All Konoha Genin, including Duke, focused their attention on this confrontation for one reason only: Konoha's number one genius, Kakashi, had appeared, and everyone was looking forward to his performance.
"Red is right, Asuma, you are too proud, be careful of a fall!" Duke glanced at the big thick eyebrow who was hugging Kai and shouting youth not far away. Might Dai, whom he had been paying attention to, performed very mediocrely. He was deceived by a simple illusion and easily let the opponent get the first blood. Duke was very puzzled and could only think that he was holding back his strength or didn't want to use heavy hands on the ninja from the same village.
Hearing this, Kakashi's nerves, which had just calmed down, jumped again: "Asshole, I must kill you today."
Kakashi ignored him. Instead, Obito jumped out and said with contempt, "Kakashi's lifelong rival should be me. You, a loser, dare to be so arrogant after just a few days of not seeing me. You don't take me seriously at all!"
"You're not popular because you're ugly," Duke added, which was very heartbreaking.
"Individual battle, the long-awaited match is finally here."
"Konoha Gourami Cyclone!"
"Fire Style: Great Fireball..." Obito took a deep breath, and suddenly, his face turned red, and then quickly turned blue. The candy in his mouth was stuck in his throat, unable to go up or down, and he was about to suffocate to death, at this time Kai saved his life.
Asuma is full of energy. In the past few games, the team of three of them has not encountered any strong opponents, which makes him full of confidence. Among the Genin, except Duke and Kakashi, he does not take anyone else seriously.
“Ahahaha—”
Obito finished speaking, took out the candy and stuffed it into his mouth, looking very happy. Seeing this, Kakashi could only give up. Helping the elderly and widowed is a fine tradition of Konoha Village. This behavior is worth encouraging. Captain Minato couldn't say anything, let alone him.
“…”
"Great, I'm not late." The group competition hadn't started yet, and Obito wiped the sweat off his face thankfully.
"This guy didn't listen at all." Looking at Asuma who looked up and laughed, Hong was a little worried. This was not self-confidence but arrogance.
The Purple Sky Class is ahead in the competition, and their opponents are Ibiki, who helped Duke a lot in the written test, and the second dragon. (In the original book, it is the tuberculosis man Hayate. Based on his age when he died, he should be only 3-4 years old now, so he does not appear here)
"This is not pride, this is self-confidence. It is my affirmation of my own strength." Asuma said stubbornly.
Obito used his tender little face to catch the powerful kick, shielding his teammates behind him, and took advantage of the momentum to spit out the candy stuck in his throat, killing two birds with one stone, a perfect battle plan. The Genin watching on the sidelines were ashamed of themselves and laughed at the same time to express their inner admiration.
"Besides you, who else can make me suffer? Kakashi? That guy is only slightly stronger than me. I have a way to deal with him." Asuma suddenly found confidence: "Of course there is also Kurenai. Kurenai's illusion is very powerful. Hahahaha..."
"Once he suffers a loss, he will understand. This Chunin Exam is a good time for him to wake up. Fortunately, our village will be the host of this exam, and the examiners will not put the son of the Third Hokage in danger."
Kakashi and his two opponents are Gai's team, the other two members of which are Ebisu and Shiranui Genma, who will become the sultry teacher and Chunin examiner in the future. According to gossip, Genma has a beautiful sister named Mai, but I don't know if it's true or not.
“Although I’m unwilling, I’m really strong!”
"Yeah, Kakashi, you have to learn to be calm." Obito wiped the saliva off his face and said brazenly, "Don't worry, everything is in my plan."
"The seventeenth group's competition has begun. What are you three still doing standing there?" the competition invigilator shouted, and the three of them immediately stood at attention and reported.
In the whole day, apart from Kakashi, Duke thought that the others were just so-so, tepid, and there was no character that caught his eye. In fact, the level of this class of Genin was very good, and they were the elites of each village, but Duke's vision was too high, so he thought it was just a small fight.
"Don't get excited, Kakashi. This shows that we are lucky. God is on our side. We will definitely achieve ideal results today." Lin held Kakashi and advised him kindly.
"Kakashi, my lifelong enemy, let's face off against each other under the guidance of fate!"
"I didn't expect there was such an interesting guy in Konoha!"
"There are still such Genin in Konoha?"
"Aren't you the last one in the class?" Kai was stunned. It was true that he was a special recruit, but his grades were only second to last in the class. Obito was in the first place, and no one could shake him.
"There is one thing I care about. In my observation, I didn't find any invincible strong man among Konoha's Genin. Is it because they are good at hiding or..." Hong's face showed surprise. The meticulous illusion ninja had a unique eye for observation, but in the end she found nothing. She did not find any existence that could pose a threat to Duke.
"Kakashi is so popular, he deserves to be the youngest Genin in Konoha's history." Hong smacked her lips repeatedly.
When the race started, Kai took the lead, showing his shiny back teeth and his youthful engine burning.
"It's because you don't cover yourself at all that I say you're ugly." Duke shook his head. Asma was still so ignorant. As a friend, he had to help him: "Asma, don't deceive yourself. It's not your fault that you're ugly. You have to face the reality bravely. When you find yourself ugly and frustrated, don't be sad, don't be upset, at least your judgment is right."
"I also had my reasons for being late." Obito had to explain: "There was an old lady who went to visit her relatives at the Konoha Hospital. She had difficulty walking, so I was kind enough to help her carry her things. Oh, and she also gave me a candy. Good intentions really do pay off!"
"I know that too, but Hong, they're not the only ones who have retained their strength. I'm doing it too." Asuma struck a bodybuilding pose, but it was a pity that the biceps on his dry arms were still developing, which made it hard to convince people.
Rin was entangled by Ebisu, and Kakashi had the upper hand in a one-on-two fight. He had stronger combat experience in taijutsu, ninjutsu, and swordsmanship than other Genin. Without Obito to mess with him, his ninja talent was fully revealed. With his skillful ninjutsu and efficient swordsmanship, Kai and Genma were unable to resist and were knocked down in a few seconds, and then Ebisu followed suit.
"Is that guy an idiot?"
In the second round of the competition, after 10 teams out of 40 won, the examiner announced the end of the exam, because everyone was more or less injured, and it was meaningless to continue the competition. The third game will start in half a month, and this half month is for the Genin to recover from their injuries and collect intelligence. The examiner reminded that the third exam is an individual promotion match, and like the second one, it will only last for two rounds. The Chunin exam is not about raising poison, and Genin will not be allowed to fight to the end. The original intention is to observe whether Genin is qualified to become Jonin. Intelligence gathering, team competitions, and individual competitions are enough, and there is no need to decide the final winner.
"Idiot, you're already an hour late! If it weren't for our low ranking in the group, we would have been eliminated due to lack of manpower." Kakashi turned into the Roaring Emperor and spit at Obito crazily, spraying him all over.
The ninjas from other villages laughed at me, and the people from our village acted as if they didn't know him well. Fortunately, Obito fainted with foam at the mouth, otherwise he would have been angry to death.
"Don't blame me for not warning you when you suffer." Duke said nothing more after that.
"Don't be too confident, Asuma!" Hong kindly reminded: "Many people have reserved their strength. They are much stronger than you see."
Being exposed, Obito was furious: "I am no longer the last one, let me show you how hard I have worked during this period!"
Asuma was shocked and pointed at his own face, unable to accept it: "Kakashi's mask covers half of his face, but mine is not covered at all, how can I be inferior to him?"
After that, there were confrontations between the Genin of other ninja villages. Several small ninja villages all lost in the first round. The victorious Sand and Rain ninjas were disgusted by the draw. Their victory was based on the blood and tears of ninjas from the same village, and they could not be happy even if they won. The original plan to make Konoha lose face in this exam ended in failure.
"Hehe!" Hong covered her mouth and laughed.
"Who can face this kind of reality? You say I'm ugly, but you... uh, you're not really ugly." Asma drank the expired chicken soup and wanted to spit it back, but when she saw Duke's beautiful face, she was speechless.
"He graduated very early, and has experienced far more missions than us. His combat experience is unmatched by his peers."
"Kakashi, Rin!" Obito came running over, covered in dust.
A team of civilians versus Konoha's strongest second-generation team, the outcome is obvious. Asuma and Kurenai killed a lot of people, Duke helped them and made a few covers to easily win.
"There is a kind of person who will be mediocre all his life, but when he implements his own Ninja Dao, he will be stronger than anyone else!"
"Does that mean this person doesn't exist?"
"Who knows? Maybe he will never be able to practice the Ninja Code in his entire life!"
