I promote boxing in the world of Konoha

A month passed by in a flash.

The official exam is about to begin.

During this period, Third Generation specially called Neji twice and had two conversations. It revealed a hint of Anbu's intentions.

Neji was a little surprised at the time, but after thinking about it, maybe he was indeed a good candidate in the eyes of Third Generation.

His reply at the time was to think about it, and he really needed to think about it.

At least, the results won't be available until after the exam.

…

Exam day.

The stadium is different from the preliminaries. It is larger and wider, and the spectator stands also have eaves and pavilions to protect them from the sun and rain.

The seats were also divided, and the highest ones were filled with nobles in gorgeous clothes. There’s also Konoha’s Hokage and Sand Shinobi’s Kazekage.

Sitting below were Jōnin, Chūnin Genin, and ordinary villagers. Many people are discussing this exam. Neji and Sasuke are two talented people who are very topical. Many people are paying attention.

"It's been a long journey, thank you for your hard work."

Third Generation said politely to the Kazekage.

"Wherever... it's better to hold it in Konoha. I'm afraid you won't be able to bear traveling at your current age. In my opinion, it's better to book the Fifth Generation heir as soon as possible."

"Haha, don't always think of me as an old man, I still want to work for another five years!"

The two of them tried each other, but did not mention the previous letter.

On the other side of the stands, Hyuga Hiashi sat down with his two daughters, Hinata Hanabi.

At this time, the players were entering the venue. Only eight of the nine players showed up, but Uchiha Sasuke, who had attracted much attention, did not arrive.

"Brother Neji!"

Hanabi waved to Neji from a distance, and the latter seemed to hear it, looked up and smiled slightly.

Hyuga Hiashi looked at Neji with a heavy heart.

Since that day, he has been thinking about what Neji meant by "getting it back for himself".

Was he going to openly oppose the elders? His strength may allow him to do this, but what about the curse seal?

And...what if doing this arouses the hostility of the entire family?

These thoughts kept swirling in Hiashi's mind, but he couldn't find any good solutions.

He could only hope that Neji would think everything through and never act impulsively.

"Naruto..."

Hyūga Hinata secretly cheered Naruto on. Hanabi, who was sitting next to her, knew that her sister often secretly watched Naruto train, but she didn't have a good impression of that guy.

Who told him to keep clamoring to defeat Brother Neji in official competitions!

"The official competition is about to begin, so be prepared."

The referee of the game, Shiranui Genma, said to several people.

Neji asked: "Where is the previous referee, Moonlight Hayate?"

"Huh?" Shiranui Genma glanced at Neji, as if he didn't know why he asked this. "Hayate has other tasks to do."

"oh."

Neji nodded. It seems that Moonlight Hayate did not die on Mount Kikyo before the exam like in the original work.

Also, now that we already know that Orochimaru and Sand Shinobi are colluding, there is no need to inquire about it anymore.

but……

Neji looked up at the top of the stand. The Kazekage sitting next to the Third Hokage was probably still Orochimaru in disguise, right?

Even though the plan has been exposed, we still have to execute the plan...

Neji thought to himself: Orochimaru is really so confident in his own technique? It's obviously just a broken version... Maybe in his opinion, the broken version is enough to deal with the Third Generation alone.

At this time, the voice of Third Generation echoed throughout the audience.

"Dear distinguished guests, please come here to participate in the Chūnin selection exam held by us at Konohagakure! The nine contestants who have passed the pre-selection will then conduct the official competition. Please watch it carefully!"

After the announcement, Naruto looked around and found no sign of Sasuke.

"Why hasn't Sasuke arrived yet?"

"If it's his turn to play and he hasn't arrived yet, it will be considered as a forfeit." Shiranui Genma said.

"hateful……"

Naruto knew that Sasuke had been training with Kakashi for the past month, so there was no reason why he couldn't show up at this time. Was there an accident?

"Okay, you guys, listen up. This is the last test. Although the terrain is different, the rules are the same as the preselection."

"The first round is Aburame Shino vs. Nomaru. You two stay here while the others go to the spectator seats."

Unrelated personnel left, leaving only two candidates and a referee.

Like all types of competitions, anything important and attracting a lot of attention must be placed later and during the "prime time".

As for Aburame Shino, the attention received was very average.

In the stands, Tenten was watching very seriously, because she was also in the left half. If she could defeat the sound ninja's Sacaku to advance, her opponent would be the winner between Aburame Shino and Terunomaru. So take a good look at the battle between the two.

"The first round begins!"

Following Shiranui Genma's announcement, the two people on the field quickly started fighting.

The Aburame clan has relied on parasitic insects to fight for generations, using their bodies as nests for the insects to live in, thereby gaining the power of the insects. As for the Sand Shinobi Terunomaru on the opposite side, judging from the ninjutsu he uses, he should be an Earth Style ninja.

The fight between the two ended quickly, with Aburame Shino winning.

No way, Sand Shinobi was somewhat restrained. While he was using Earth Style, Shino controlled the insects to burrow underground. When his own bug clone was destroyed, he took advantage of his opponent's distraction to let the bug crawl onto his opponent.

The easy victory also caused cheers from the Konoha audience.

Neji raised his head to look at the nobles sitting above. Most of them were drinking tea and chatting. Many of them were not looking at the field at all.

These people seem to only pay attention to the focus game and don't bother to watch the rest...

"Tiantian, it's your turn!" Guy looked at Tiantian aside.

The first round is over, followed immediately by the second round, facing Sack Stirrup every day.

"Yeah!" Tiantian changed her clothes today, and she looked particularly heroic in her white partial-breasted dress.

"Be careful." Neji said.

Tiantian smiled and said: "Don't worry, I will win the first victory for our class!"

After saying that, she held the railing of the stands with one hand and jumped down into the arena.

"Tiantian! Come on! Tiantian! Come on!"

Xiao Li raised his hands and waved them, attracting a lot of attention.

"I'm from the third class." Shikamaru, who was not far away, also heard Xiao Li's shout and cast a lazy look.

Chōji, who was sitting next to him and eating potato chips, hummed: "Now everyone calls them Neji class. Because Neji is so awesome, as a teammate, she should also be awesome."

"Who knows..."

"Tiantian is very powerful!" Ino interjected at this time, "She sometimes goes to my house to buy flowers, so I know."

On the field, Sack Stirrup has also walked up to Tiantian. The three big red words "death" on the khaki outer shirt are particularly conspicuous. It is a standard non-mainstream dress.

He looked at Tiantian and said disdainfully: "Humph, are you that Neji's teammate? Very good, I will defeat you first, and then defeat that self-righteous genius!"

"Stop talking nonsense, you're not qualified enough to challenge Neji!"

"What did you say?!"

"Damn it!!!" Naruto in the stands became anxious when he heard this, because Tenten had said it to him once... Although it was said to Sasuke at the time, Naruto had such a strong sense of empathy that he directly stepped into the role.

He glanced in Neji's direction, clenched his fists, and secretly cheered himself up.

This time he and Neji are both in the right half. As long as he defeats Shikamaru first, he might be able to run into Neji!

"Okay, you two." Shiranui Genma stopped the two of them, "Stop talking and save some energy to take action. Are you ready?"

"Ready."

"Let's get started! I can't wait to teach this damn girl a lesson!"

Shiranui Genma laughed: "It's not a good thing to talk too early... The second round of the game begins!"
