Now that Kimimaro was dead, Zabuza and Haku had become Orochimaru's new subordinates, and both of them had completely learned how to use the power of the curse mark!
"Damn Orochimaru!" The Fourth Kazekage roared unwillingly, and was forced to participate in the battle.
"Orochimaru-sama, can Zabuza and Haku kill the Fourth Kazekage with just the two of them?" Next to Orochimaru, Kabuto adjusted his glasses, and asked.
"This battle is just to test how well the two of them are using the curse mark transformation, if they're no match for the Fourth Kazekage, I'll personally take action." Orochimaru said coldly.
Facing the two attacking ninjas, a trace of despair appeared on the Fourth Kazekage's face, and with Orochimaru watching the battle from the side, he knew that this time he was in grave danger......
.......
Three days later, on August 6th of Konoha 60, the third match of the Chūnin Selection Exams, which was the day of the finals.
On this day, Konoha reached unprecedented prosperity, and the streets of Konoha, which could be considered quite wide, were already full of traffic, and people came and went in an endless stream.
The Chūnin Selection Exams were about to officially begin!
The daimyo of various countries, the leaders of some small ninja villages, and some wealthy people, the heads of the large families of Konoha, ninjas, and some civilians had all come to the examination hall, and filled all the seats in the stands, looking hopefully at the competition venue below.
The sea of people here, the atmosphere reached an unprecedented height, looking at a glance, all were densely packed figures, although the entire square was actually very empty, it was still blocked so that not even a drop of water could pass through.
Above the central tower of Konoha, the Third Hokage stood quietly at the top of the tower, looking down at the lively scene below with a smile on his face.
Next to him, two Anbu ninjas were guarding, never leaving his side.
"It's finally started!"
The Third Hokage let out a sigh, which was powerful and forceful, completely different from his old and vicissitudes of life appearance, and full of masculinity.
As the leader of Konoha, the Third Hokage had high hopes for this Chūnin Exam, nearly half of the candidates participating in the finals were ninjas from Konoha, and the strength of the Land of Fire was undoubtedly highlighted.
But what he didn't know was that the Fourth Kazekage sitting next to him on the high platform was actually his disciple: Orochimaru.
"Sarutobi-sensei, just laugh more now, after all, this is the last smile in your life." Orochimaru, wearing a mask and disguised as the Fourth Kazekage, thought to himself.
At this time, Kaoru also appeared in front of the stands as the Jōnin in charge, standing with Kakashi, Guy, and others.
"Orochimaru, when will you make your move?" Looking at the Fourth Kazekage sitting on the high platform, Kaoru thought to himself.
And the examinees, including Wan'er, were standing in a row, in the examination hall.
"Because there have been some changes, the match list has changed, please confirm it again." The examiner in charge of this match: Genma Shiranui, put the new match table in front of the examinees.
Wan'er and the others looked at it, and found that the match list in front had not changed, only the last match had changed.
Fourth match: Gaara VS Wan'er Uchiha, Dosu, who was originally supposed to fight Gaara before Wan'er, had disappeared from the list.
Although the examinees didn't understand why this was, they didn't care so much, Wan'er didn't care either, anyway, she had to fight Gaara sooner or later, whether it was early or late, wasn't it still a fight.
After a simple opening ceremony and explanation of the rules, the first match immediately began, and the other contestants returned to the waiting room, leaving only Naruto Uzumaki and Neji Hyūga, the two opponents in the first match.
Kaoru had no intention of watching their match at all, his vision kept sweeping over the people in the hall, and he was secretly vigilant in his heart, but on the surface he still had a calm expression, and couldn't see any other expressions at all.
Soon, the first match began, Neji Hyūga faced the dead last Naruto Uzumaki with a genius attitude.
At the beginning, Neji Hyūga, who was using Gentle Fist, easily beat Naruto Uzumaki black and blue, and along the way, Neji also said that everyone's fate could not be changed, and could only obediently let fate control them.
Seeing Neji turn on mouth escape mode, Kaoru knew that he was not far from failure, actually using mouth escape in front of the mouth escape master, wasn't this showing off in front of an expert?
And as Neji said these words, Naruto naturally wasn't happy, he wanted to prove to Neji that fate could be changed, and the dead last could also defeat the genius, so Naruto used mouth escape to counterattack.
After a contest of mouth escape, Neji's psychology suffered critical hit damage, and he began to waver, while Naruto revived with full health with the help of mouth escape, just like when he fought Kiba.
He was beaten badly at the beginning, and then said a few words of encouragement, and he could revive with full health, this was Naruto's unique move, and also the legendary protagonist law.
Then, Naruto directly erupted with the Nine-Tails' chakra, and directly forcibly broke through Neji's acupoint strike, in order to break through Neji's Rotation, he also cleverly hid in the dirt, and finally directly emerged from the dirt, and Neji with an uppercut......
Neji Hyūga, who hadn't suffered a single injury since the start of the match, was knocked down with just one uppercut, and was also tragically unlucky.
And after this battle with Naruto, Neji also understood a truth, that was that fate could be changed, as long as you worked hard, you would definitely change, just like Naruto was the dead last, but he defeated him, this genius, this was the change of fate!
Of course, actually Kaoru felt that a sentence should be added to this, as long as you worked hard, fate would definitely change, but the premise was that you had to be a cheater...... otherwise, like Lee or Neji, whether they were geniuses or idiots, they would not be able to control their own fate in the end, this was reality.
However, Neji had just been taught a lesson by Kaoru, who was younger than him, a while ago, and as a genius, he had been defeated by Naruto, this dead last, it was estimated that he had the heart to want to die.
The first match quickly ended, and Genma Shiranui came to the center of the venue, and announced loudly: "Next is the match between Sasuke Uchiha of Konoha Village and Kankurō of Sunagakure!"
This time was different from last time, Sasuke quickly arrived at the venue, he smiled evilly, and landed in the hall with a handsome action.
For this month, he had followed Kakashi to study Lee's taijutsu and Kakashi's Chidori bitterly, all for this match, he believed that with his current strength, he would definitely be able to shine in this match.
And on the other side, Kankurō was still standing in the stands.
"What, do you want to be a coward, come down and fight quickly!" Sasuke provoked Kankurō.
"I'm sorry, I abstain~!" Facing Sasuke's provocation, Kankurō just raised his hand and answered, he originally knew that the purpose of their Sunagakure this time was just to destroy Konoha, and he had no intention of fighting at all, so he directly abstained from this match.
Kankurō's abstention caused an uproar among the audience, and even made Sasuke depressed, damn it, I had trained hard for a month just to advance to Chūnin through this match, but the opponent actually abstained directly like this, and he didn't even have a chance to perform.......
"Very good, Sasuke wins the second match." Genma Shiranui announced immediately.
"Damn, I made such a handsome appearance for nothing!" Sasuke complained unwillingly, and then had to go back to the stage dejectedly.
The second match ended amidst the audience's complaints, and next was the third match: Shikamaru Nara VS Temari.
Although Shikamaru Nara also wanted to abstain like Kankurō, he was directly pushed into the competition venue by Naruto.
