027 Draw and four-player melee
Days passed one after another, and in a blink of an eye, the date of the competition was close.
In this competition, because many senior executives from the Fire Kingdom came to watch the game, the third generation of Naruto Sarutobi Hinaru discussed with the senior executives of Konoha Ninjam, and decided to make certain adjustments to this competition.
First of all, the venue was the venue. The competition was originally just a small test to test the students of Ninja School's grasp of ninja school and their adaptability in actual combat. Therefore, the venue needed was not large, and the playground of Ninja School was enough. This time, considering that many senior executives of the Kingdom of Fire would watch the game, Sarutobi Hinazon also waved his hand and approved the students of Ninja School to use the venue where the Chunin exams were usually held for the competition.
Of course, Sarutobi Hinazon's decision was opposed by many people. One of the reasons for the objection was that it felt that it was useless. Such a large venue was undoubtedly a waste of resources for a group of preparatory ninjas who had not graduated.
Secondly, the venue where the Chunin Exam is held every year is as big as a football field. For Ninja School students, too large space will become a factor that affects their performance. Some people are worried that this venue will prevent many potential preparatory ninjas from displaying their real talents.
Before Sarutobi Hiruzen answered these two questions, Shimura Danzo answered these two questions first.
"It's too slight?" Shimura Danzo's face was as gloomy as ever. "I don't think it's too slight. Preparation ninja is also the future of our Konoha Ninja Village. You can use this venue for the Shinin exam, and the preparation ninjas of the Ninja School naturally have the right to use this venue."
“But space…”
"The space is too large?" Before the questioners could finish their questions, Danzo snorted coldly and scolded sternly: "If you can't even adapt to the changes in the venue, what kind of ninja is it?"
"On the battlefield, the venue you face will change at any time. You cannot decide what kind of venue you want to fight. As a ninja, the first thing you must do is to be able to stand alone and think of countermeasures for any change. "
"If you can't adapt to the changes in the venue, you can only say that this preparatory ninja is only a third-rate level. Don't be a ninja. Go home and be a good baby in your parents' arms."
***************
A preparation ninja Sato Shizuo, who had no way to return to his parents' arms to be a good baby, just woke up. He rubbed his eyes and looked at the sky outside the window.
At this time, the sky outside the window was still gray, and the night had not completely disappeared. The mourning master looked at the sky outside the window, probably estimated the time, got up and washed up.
Everything is the same as usual, no difference.
"The normal mind, the normal mind is just a small-scale test at the Ninja School."
After leaving, I comforted myself by going to the ninja school’s mourning helper. However, after arriving at the ninja school, I found that no one was there in the ninja school.
Then the guard's uncle told me that the venue for the competition was changed from the playground of the Ninja School to the venue where the Chunin exam was usually held.
"No need to be nervous at all, it's just a small-scale test. Although this is the first official test in my life, I'm not nervous at all. I'm calm and composed. I'm experienced many battles. I..."
Seeing the size of the Chunin Examination Hall and seeing the bustling crowds in the audience, the mourning assistant finally stopped his self-comfort that he thought was very useful.
"I..."
Before a swear word could be cursed completely, a pair of tender little hands covered his eyes.
"Guess who I am?"
With the crisp voice of the light bell, and with these soft hands that have never done heavy work or practice physical skills, can you still guess who it is?
"Kushina, early."
"Good morning?" Kushina let go of the hand covering Morisuke's eyes, and shivered with a stern voice, pretending to be angry: "You don't look at what time, didn't you agree to arrive before 8 o'clock? It's now 8:05 o'clock!"
"It's only five minutes, and no one informed me after changing the venue..." Sanzuo rubbed his head helplessly, but fortunately he didn't get a bag.
Since he invited Kushina to a meal that night, Kushina seemed to have completely let go, and her attitude towards herself changed by 180 degrees. She was no longer as shy as before and did not dare to look directly at her. The conversation became smoother.
Except for occasionally she would do some strange things to herself, such as covering her eyes just now and shaking.
However, it was precisely because of Kushina's series of actions that the originally nervous and depressed helper was a little relaxed.
"Thank you, Kushina."
"Why do you want to thank me?" Kushina's pretty face turned slightly red, and she grabbed the helpless hand, "Let's go, we should go there and draw lots."
"Draw lots?" The mourning assistant said in confusion, "Isn't it possible for Teacher Fujiki to arrange the order of the battle?"
"It seems to be said to be changed." Kushina explained to Morisuke as she walked, "because the senior officials of the Kingdom of Fire came to watch the game, they first changed the venue and then made certain changes to the rules."
"The original rules of the competition were just one-on-one, no matter if you win or lose, it ended after one game. Now it has been changed to a mix of knockout and knockout stages. In the first stage, a four-person melee will be held. The person who won in the melee advances to the next round, and so on, until the last eight people are left, and then a random draw will be held to compete for a one-on-one competition."
After hearing Kushina's explanation, the mourning aid couldn't help but frown. The rule changed from a one-on-one between two people to a four-person melee. For ordinary students, this is an excellent opportunity, because opponents who were unable to defeat in the past can unite with others, eliminate strong enemies first, and finally decide the outcome.
However, for some powerful people who are already well-known in ninja schools, this rule is undoubtedly extremely unfavorable to them. After all, everyone is a peer, and the difference in strength is not too big. One-on-one and one-on-two may not have too big problems, but one-on-three, or if you are not careful, you will capsize in the gutter.
"By the way, I forgot to tell you that there is an empty seat in the first round of lottery draw." Kushina said to the mourning aid mysteriously.
"Outside? Will you directly advance to the next round?" Sansuke found it a little funny. The competition used to judge the strength of the ninja actually sets off for rounds.
"I guessed wrongly, it's an elimination position." Kushina couldn't help laughing as she looked at the helpless look, "Uncle Naruto said that judging the strength of a ninja cannot only look at his ninja's ninjutsu, physical skills and illusion practice..."
"Luck is also a very important part."
"It really fits the character of Uncle Sarutobi..." Sansuke smiled bitterly, and he was deeply touched by some of the evil ideas that Sarutobi Hinata occasionally came up with.
"Okay, all the students who participated in the competition have arrived, right?" Fujimu walked over with a large wooden box in his hand. "Although the method of drawing lots is a bit old, there is no way, so I'll draw lots."
After hearing Fujiki's words, the students walked up to take the lottery draw.
"I drew the third group. Is there anyone in the third group?"
"Damn, I got a good draw! You are the only ones in the sixth group, right? Hatsuki Uchiha is not there, right! It seems that I can advance to the next round safely!"
"Group ninth, group ninth, is anyone?"
"Why did the lottery I drew nothing on it? Teacher Fujiki, did you miss the lottery?"
A slightly weak voice came, and everyone stopped shouting and discussing after hearing this, and the scene suddenly became so quiet.
Everyone looked in the direction of their speech, and they spoke with a bit of a stubborn but they were quite friendly.
"Black feather." Fujiki looked at the little boy in front of him with a little distress. He patted the little boy on the shoulder, "This is an elimination sign. You have been eliminated. In the next game, you can watch the game with the teacher at the viewing seat."
How can Fujiki comfort the little boy who cried because he got the elimination lottery ticket and not mention it for now. Morisuke looked at the lottery he had just drawn, and a big number ‘7’ was marked on it.
“Seventh group?”
The helper looked around and soon found his opponents in the first round of battle.
"Skip class trio?"
The mourning scholar found the person who also got the ‘7’ at a glance. He didn’t know whether he was lucky or bad. He won the famous skipping trio in the ninja school - the dog master Inuzuka Pai, the ‘Troubleko’ Nara Kazuku and the ‘Sleeping God’ Rope Tree.
