Chapter 46
Iruka scratched his head and said: "Haha, yes! What's wrong..."
'boom! ’
After hitting Iruka's shadow clone with one palm, Hinata shook her hair and said calmly: "Just celebrate, I don't want to hear a long speech!"
Naruto and Sasuke nodded in agreement.
Chapter 71 Flattery Contest
On the fifth day after the start of the second round of the Chunin Examination, the exam came to an end.
The 12 teams that passed the exam, with a total of 36 people, all gathered in the hall in the tower.
What awaits them is the qualifying round of the third exam.
Hinata looked around and saw that in addition to the Twelve Strong from the original book, Kabuto Yakushi's team, Gaara's team, and the Sound Ninja's team were all there.
In addition, there are three teams from Konoha that were lucky enough to pass the second exam after paying the price of "treating them for a month" with the help of the 'helpful' Hinata.
As for the remaining two teams, they are the two supporting teams of Konoha and Sagakure.
The Third Hokage and a group of Jonin stood on the high platform, scanning the 36 people below, and couldn't help but feel a little helpless.
He had already heard about Hinata's brilliant results in this exam.
In the first exam, due to Hinata's troubles, Ibiki's psychological torture had no effect at all. A total of 108 people from 36 teams passed the first exam.
Originally, this was fine.
In the second exam, Hinata grabbed a large number of scrolls with her outstanding strength and helped three teams of Konoha ninjas pass the exam.
The direct result was that too many people took the third exam.
This time, the Chunin Examination was not held by Konoha itself, but was jointly organized by many Ninja Villages. The purpose was to show off force in front of daimyo, nobles, officials, and wealthy people.
The stronger the Ninja Village is, the more tasks it can receive.
These audiences are very busy and time is tight, so the time for the third exam must be compressed as much as possible.
The third generation did some mental arithmetic, and it seems that there can only be two games in the qualifiers...
The Third Hokage said loudly: "My first choice is to wish you all good luck in passing the second exam!"
‘Papa papa…’
In the quiet hall, there was a crisp sound of applause.
I saw Hinata standing in the audience applauding vigorously and shouting: "Thank you, Hokage-sama!"
The third generation can still rule for at least a month. The more this time comes, the more difficult it is to offend the third generation. The flattery must be done properly.
In an instant, countless eyes focused on Hinata.
The people in Konoha were a little speechless. Gaara's little eyes were so fierce that he wanted to kill Hinata. Kabuto Yakushi and the leader of the team, Yin Ren, had more playful eyes.
Seeing that the order in the audience was somewhat chaotic, Anko shouted loudly: "Now let me ask the Hokage to explain the matters related to the third exam. You must listen carefully!"
Hinata's sharp eyes looked at Anko for a moment.
This is a powerful enemy!
No, we must not let Hokage-sama's horses be photographed by Anko alone.
‘Pah bang pah…’
Hinata clapped vigorously, with a serious and solemn expression, as if she was waiting for the leader to review. For the first time in twelve years, she became serious for the first time in the past twelve years. She said seriously: "Please give me a lecture, Hokage-sama. We will listen carefully to Hokage-sama's teachings and work tirelessly. Fulfill your duties, strictly follow Hokage-sama’s instructions, and work hard for the future of Konoha.”
"Everything is for Konoha!"
The corner of Anko's mouth twitched, and she suddenly felt so funny. At this time, she also said extremely seriously: "Now let's invite the strongest Hokage in history, the professor of ninjutsu, and the great third generation Hokage of Konoha Village to speak. Everyone applauds! "
"Hokage-sama, please!"
After saying that, Anko respectfully retreated behind Sandai, straightened her back, and stood meticulously.
‘Pah bang pah…’
There was sparse applause from the audience. Except for Hinata, whose applause was the loudest, everyone else responded extremely well, and some even didn't move at all.
Third generation: "..."
At this moment, Sandai felt extremely embarrassed. What on earth are these people doing?
Orochimaru, who was disguised as the sound ninja leader, looked at the third generation funny at this moment.
Orochimaru thought that he was the only one whose intelligence was insulted by Hinata, but he didn't expect Hinata to be like this usually.
Seeing the third generation standing awkwardly at the front of the high platform, Orochimaru felt that his mood seemed to be much better.
Kakashi looked up at the sky, it was over! When the qualifiers are over, he will be scolded by the Third Hokage.
"kindness!"
The third generation nodded slightly. After being the Hokage for so many years, he still had this kind of psychological quality.
After coughing lightly, Sandai said: "As I prepare for the next..."
But Hinata only had Anko in her eyes at the moment.
This man is so powerful. He is truly a disciple of Orochimaru, one of the three ninjas. Although the horse is a little greasy in the photo, Anko is undoubtedly the most eye-catching among all the jounin at this moment.
‘Pah bang pah…’
Hinata was dissatisfied and continued to applaud: "Okay! Master Hokage said it well!"
"Hokage-sama encompasses a thousand years of history and culture in the ninja world in one sentence, and it seems to also cover all the high-end knowledge of ninjutsu. Listening to it only once will make people have endless aftertaste. Hokage-sama has the world in his mind, and he can see the sun and the moon in the universe. Let me wait in just one sentence to establish the correct values of life and determine the direction of future struggle. "
"You are truly worthy of being the third generation Hokage that we all respect the most!"
Everyone: "..."
Orochimaru thought he was a genius, and even the third generation had praised him, saying that he was a genius that only appeared once in decades in the ninja world.
But Orochimaru thought about it and couldn't imagine how Hinata could hear so many meanings in the short seven words "I am about the next".
The veins on the forehead of the third generation of Hokage jumped. This Hinata is here to find fault!
You did it on purpose, right?
Hinata shook her head: I did it on purpose, but I was deliberately flattering you! Only you are the Hokage, I am not happy with others.
The third generation looked at Hinata for a long time, and saw that Hinata's little face was serious and solemn, and her eyes were full of righteousness, and there was no intention of deliberately finding fault.
If Hinata is not very good at acting...
That means that Hinata's words just now were all from the heart...
The awkward atmosphere was silent for a long time, and the third generation coughed lightly and said loudly: "I am about the next..."
The third generation glanced at Hinata, and Hinata still looked serious.
The third generation continued, "Before I explain the third exam, there is one thing I must make clear... No, two things!"
"The first thing..."
The third generation looked at Hinata and said expressionlessly, "While I am speaking, I hope everyone can keep quiet and don't clap casually."
Hinata smiled awkwardly and put down her hands that wanted to clap, and responded loudly, "Okay, Lord Hokage!"
The third generation sighed slightly and continued, "As for the second thing, why this exam is held."
Unconsciously, the third generation looked at Hinata again.
Seeing that Hinata really had no intention of speaking, the third generation continued, "The allied countries must work together to hold this exam..."
"It is to deepen the friendly relations between each other..."
Chapter 72 The difference between Moonlight Gale and Red Bean
The third generation Hokage talked a lot and revealed the cruel truth of the joint Chunin exam to the candidates.
The epitome of the war between the allied countries.
Hinata has been in the ninja world for twelve years, and was born in the Hyuga family. She has some understanding of the cruelty of the ninja world.
The ninja village is a country's military force. Between the Hokage and the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, one is in charge of a country's military wars, and the other is in charge of a country's political livelihood.
But in name, the Daimyo's status is higher than that of the Hokage.
Logically speaking, since the ninja village is a country's military force, the country should allocate a large amount of military funds to the ninja village every year, and the ninjas have no need to make money through missions.
But in fact, missions are the only source of income for ninjas in peacetime.
The military expenditure of the ninja village is not high in peacetime, and it also has to maintain the operation of the entire village.
Ninjas can earn money from outside by being hired, but there are still a large number of ninjas who perform tasks issued by the village itself.
So whenever the amount of tasks in the village decreases, the ninjas will start a war.
Winning the war can not only prove the strength of one's own village, but also the ninja world war will lead to bandits everywhere.
Once the war stops, those nobles and wealthy people will have to hire ninjas to protect them.
The main reason for the low military expenditure is that the ninja village wants to maintain a certain degree of independence.
Although Konoha and the Land of Fire are one, they are relatively independent.
Even the Daimyo of the Land of Fire cannot interfere in the internal affairs of Konoha. Even the election of the Hokage is made by the Daimyo of the Land of Fire in name only after Konoha has made its own decision.
So Hinata concluded that the ninjas fought desperately just for money... No wonder Kakashi is so stingy.
"Forgive me for my rudeness!"
"Hokage-sama, please leave the following matters to me, the referee of the preliminary round - Moonlight Gale!"
Moonlight Gale suddenly jumped out and interrupted the Third Generation's speech, as if he was too lazy to listen to the Third Generation's continued nagging.
"..." The Third Generation was silent for a while, and said lightly: "Okay!"
Hinata took a step back slightly, wanting to stay away from Moonlight Gale.
No wonder in the original work, when Moonlight Gale was killed, there was not even a rescue. It turned out that it was the Third Generation Hokage who was offended here.
Look at Red Bean, she is also an examiner like Moonlight Gale, and in terms of the current plot progress, they are both minor roles.
But she has survived to the second part of Boruto.
What about you? You didn't even make it through the Chunin Exam!
Sure enough, people who interrupt their leaders will not have a good end, flattering is the only way out.
Moonlight Gale looked like a consumptive ghost, and said weakly: "Hello everyone, my name is Moonlight Gale. Before the third... ahem... exam, everyone needs to do this pre-selection first, which will determine whether you are qualified to participate in the third exam!"
While speaking, Moonlight Gale looked at Hinata curiously, why didn't you interrupt me?
Many people were dissatisfied with such rules. Moonlight Gale explained: "The first two rounds of exams were too easy. Hokage-sama also said before that there will be many VIPs watching the third exam. Time is limited, so we can't delay."
"If you feel unwell or don't want to take the exam after hearing my explanation, please raise your hand as soon as possible to signal me!"
"If there is no one, we will start the preliminaries."
Unlike the original, this preliminaries will be played in two games, and finally eight people will be left to enter the third exam.
"I quit..."
"I quit too!"
Hina looked around. Perhaps because there were too many people, there were too many people who were not strong-willed, or because they thought they were not strong enough, there were quite a few people who quit.
Kabuto Yakushi also noticed this and thought: "If so many people quit together, I won't be too noticeable."
Kabuto Yakushi raised his hand and said: "I quit!"
Naruto shouted unwillingly: "Senior Kabuto, why are you doing this, why!"
Kabuto Yakushi: MMP.
Kabuto Yakushi showed an awkward but polite smile and said lightly: "Sorry, Naruto... I'm already covered in bruises and can't continue with you."
On the high platform, the third generation and Red Bean had a private chat about the information about Kabuto Yakushi...
