Chapter 153 List of the Third Finals (Part 1, Part 2)
"Draw lots."
Morino Ihiki, who had a cold face, walked to the center of the field with the lottery box.
Aburame Shiki and others spontaneously lined up in front of him.
"There are a total of fifteen number plates inside."
Morino Hiki explained, "From low to high, the opponent is the one who draws adjacent number cards."
Aburame Zhihui was thoughtful.
Will Tsunade intervene?
Although the lottery seems fair, as the organizer, it is quite simple to get some inside information.
As the saying goes, it is difficult to guard against domestic thieves.
But then I thought about it, it didn't matter who he drew.
Only Gaara is more troublesome.
To be more precise, it's not Gaara, but Shukaku Ichibi.
In terms of size, even pigs, crocodiles, horses and elephants combined cannot compare to tailed beasts.
It is probably impossible for Aburame Shiki to defeat Shukaku.
But fortunately, he is fast and has good defense, so kiting from the side is not a big problem.
Huh.
If Shukaku runs out, it means Orochimaru's plan is ahead of schedule.
What else to fight?
Aburame Shiki thought as he reached into the lottery box and took out a number seven.
Yes, seven is a magical number.
"The drawing is over. Arrange them in pairs according to your number plates."
Morino Ihiki glanced at everyone and said.
"I'm number one."
Uchiha Sasuke walked forward expressionlessly.
He was very happy when he drew number one.
In his opinion, this indicates that he will get first place in the Chunin Examination.
"Ah! Why is it Sasuke? Why not Shiki?"
Uzumaki Naruto stood beside him dejectedly.
"..."
Uchiha Sasuke twitched his lips.
He didn't expect it to be Uzumaki Naruto.
It seems that you have to show your true ability to win.
Fortunately, Uzumaki Naruto is a taijutsu ninja and has many disadvantages.
"The outcome for you is the same."
Uchiha Sasuke said calmly, "It's a failure anyway."
"You guys, don't underestimate the power of youth!"
Uzumaki Naruto gave a thumbs up, his teeth flashed, and said, "In one month, I will beat everyone and get first place!"
"Oh, come on."
Uchiha Sasuke said lightly.
"hateful!"
Uzumaki Naruto was so angry that he said a little crazy, "I will definitely beat you up when the time comes!"
"No. 3 and No. 4 are out."
Morino Ihiki interrupted the friendly conversation between the two people.
"Number three is me."
Temari said feeling a little uneasy.
She prayed in her heart that she would never meet Gaara and Aburame Shiki.
Soon, it was her prayer that took effect.
Because the one who stood up was Nara Shikamaru who looked helpless.
Temari breathed a sigh of relief.
Nara Shikamaru sighed deeply.
He hates dealing with women most in his life, especially beautiful women.
That must be quite troublesome.
The only good thing was that he didn't meet any ninjas from the same village.
etc.
This is unfortunate.
If he met Aburame Shiki, he would just raise the white flag and surrender, and no one would blame him.
After all, he really can't beat him.
But Temari is a ninja from Hidden Suna Village, and it doesn't look good to admit defeat when she comes up.
"I am number five."
Before Morino Ihiki could speak, Inuzuka Kiba took the initiative to step forward.
Akamaru was above his head and barked twice to show his support.
Hinata Hinata glanced at Aburame Shiki and felt relieved.
"Is it actually Hinata?"
Inuzuka Kiba's face suddenly fell, and he muttered, "How to fight like this?"
As a teammate, he knew Hinata Hinata's strength very well.
"Number seven."
Shiki Aburame walked out with Hinata Hinata.
Gaara grinned and burst into violent murderous intent.
After the qualifying rounds, he has identified Shiki Aburame as one of his most valuable opponents.
Now that he got what he wanted, he was very excited.
The genin present all trembled slightly in their hearts.
Aburame Shiki was very calm.
He had expected it before, so there was no surprise at all.
The only feeling is that Tsunade really doesn't cheat.
"I didn't expect Zhihui to be in the same group as Gaara."
Uzumaki Naruto said with an ugly face, "This guy really knows how to kill people."
Gaara's bloodlust in the preliminary round made him instinctively disgusted.
In the manga, Uzumaki Naruto never killed anyone directly.
One is because he is the protagonist of a hot-blooded comic.
The second is because of his character.
"don’t worry."
Uchiha Sasuke said softly, "He will not be Shiki's opponent."
"This guy is dead!"
Kankuro, who was in the elimination area, said with excitement.
Aburame Shiki is very fast, but when it comes to Gaara who has absolute defense, it's meaningless.
Now his crow will get its revenge.
Thinking of the crow, he was heartbroken and speechless.
As a puppet master, a puppet is as indispensable as a wife.
His wife was knocked to pieces.
"Gaara?"
Tsunade frowned slightly.
Why is this kid so unlucky?
Her lucky kiss seemed to have lost its effect.
Thinking about the bet with Aburame Zhihui again, she had a bad premonition.
"Nine and Ten."
Morino Ibi happily reminded him.
Although Gaara had murderous intent, as a torture officer, he had long been accustomed to it, so he simply ignored it.
"It's finally my turn!"
Rock Lee did two somersaults and came on stage, saying excitedly, "Come on! Neji! Let's discuss youth together!"
He had already seen that Hyuga Neji had drawn number 10.
"..."
Hyuga Neji just wanted to escape.
As a member of the Hyuga clan, he always maintained elegance, and his biggest enemies were Rock Lee and Might Guy.
"Are my two lovely students fighting each other?"
Might Guy said with a painful face, "Youth is really full of bitterness."
"Who do you think will win?"
Hatake Kakashi watched the fun and didn't mind the trouble.
"I don't know."
Might Guy shook his head and said.
"I thought you would say Neji."
Hatake Kakashi was a little surprised.
"Little Lee has learned that ninjutsu, this may be the best arrangement."
Might Guy suddenly laughed and shouted, "Little Lee! Challenge the genius, youth will not leave regrets!"
"Yes!"
Rock Lee trembled all over, trembling and said, "Teacher, I will live up to my youth! Go all out!"
"..."
Hyuga Neji was hesitant to speak, and finally turned his head and looked away.
"Eight Gates?"
Hatake Kakashi said softly, "That's really interesting."
No. 11 and No. 12 are Yamanaka Ino vs. Saku.
There is nothing to say about this.
Among the fifteen winners, Saku is the only Genin who is not from Konoha Village and Sand Village, and he is also the weakest.
Yamanaka Ino, who has been strengthened by Aburame Shiki, has a high chance of winning.
No. 13 and No. 14 are Aburame Togen and Kurama Yakumo.
To be honest, Aburame Shiki doesn't know who will win.
Aburame Togen has nano-level poisonous insects, and the insects are not afraid of illusions.
But Kurama Yakumo's illusion is different.
She can make the fake become real.
If it is real, is it still an illusion?
Number 15, Aburame Shino, was directly ignored.
"Hokage-sama."
Morino Ibiki presented a scroll with both hands.
"That's it."
Tsunade glanced at the scroll and said, "The finals will begin in a month."
After she finished speaking, she turned and left.
With her leading the way, the rest of the people also left one after another.
"Shihui-kun, goodbye."
Yamanaka Ino waved and said goodbye to Aburame Shihui.
Although Saku is not strong, she also has to receive special training with Nara Shikamaru.
The same is true for Hyuga Hinata and others.
"Your luck is average."
Hatake Kakashi stepped forward and said.
"I think it's good."
Uzumaki Naruto snorted and said.
"I think so too."
Uchiha Sasuke said not to be outdone.
"Not bad, very energetic."
Hatake Kakashi saw that they were not affected, so he felt relieved.
He looked at Shiki Aburame.
In terms of luck, he was the most unlucky, having met the powerful and bloodthirsty Gaara.
If he was not careful, he might get hurt.
However, considering Shiki Aburame's strength, Hatake Kakashi was still optimistic.
"In the next month, I will strengthen your training."
Kakashi Hatake paused and said, "Except Shiki."
"Teacher Kakashi."
Shiki Aburame asked, "Can you teach us the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique?"
Shadow clones, unlike ordinary clone techniques, have entities and certain resistance to blows.
But the most important thing is that after the clone is released, the memory and experience of the clone will return to the original body.
This is completely a multiple experience card.
Of course, there are also disadvantages.
Too much chakra is consumed, and ordinary ninjas can't resist it.
In addition, returning too much memory and experience at one time is also a great shock to the spirit, and it may directly die.
"Multiple Shadow Clone Technique?"
Hatake Kakashi was slightly startled, and said with difficulty, "This ninjutsu is very dangerous. If you don't have a huge chakra..."
He suddenly stopped.
Because he found that the chakra of his three students was good.
Especially Uzumaki Naruto, it was simply outrageous.
"I can teach you."
Hatake Kakashi changed his words and said, "But Naruto learns the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, and Sasuke and Zhihui learn the Shadow Clone Technique."
The only difference between the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique and the Shadow Clone Technique is the number.
The former can split thousands of shadow clones.
The latter is usually a few.
Aburame Zhihui nodded.
He had no opinion.
He proposed to learn the shadow clone just to help his two teammates.
For him, it was useless.
Because the shadow clone could not split the poisonous insect.
Uchiha Sasuke also had no idea.
It was easy for him to learn the shadow clone, and Uchiha Mikoto could teach him.
But all the skills of the Uchiha clan were on the Sharingan.
They didn't care about the shadow clones.
After all, the shadow clones couldn't drive the Gundam, that is, the Susanoo.
"Huh?"
Uzumaki Naruto scratched his head and asked, "So I have so much chakra?"
It hurts, my friend.
Hatake Kakashi's mouth twitched, and he almost died.
He really has a treasure without knowing it.
It's amazing that you have so much chakra!
"See you at the first training ground tomorrow morning."
Hatake Kakashi waved his hand and said, "Disband!"
Aburame Shiki was about to leave when a familiar figure appeared in front of him.
Although she was wearing an ANBU mask, her long purple hair had exposed her.
"Zhihui, come with me."
Uoyuki Xiyan said, "Hokage-sama is waiting for you."
Aburame Shiki nodded.
After he greeted his two teammates, he followed Uoyuki Xiyan out of the tower.
Not far away, Tsunade stood quietly, not knowing what she was thinking.
"teacher."
Shiki Aburame approaches.
"This month, don't run around."
Tsunade warned, "It's best to stay with me to avoid encountering Orochimaru."
"What about the special training for Class 7?"
Aburame Zhihui was slightly startled and asked.
"What special training?"
Tsunade asked with some confusion, "What else can Kakashi teach you?"
Kakashi Hatake: Are you polite?
"The art of shadow clone."
Aburame Shiki replied.
"I teach you."
Tsunade said without hesitation.
Aburame Zhihui looked at her determined look and knew that it would be useless to say anything else, so he agreed.
"Just in time, you can learn to be Hokage, and you will be in charge of Konoha's affairs this month."
Tsunade suddenly raised the corners of her mouth slightly, showing the pride that her plan had succeeded.
"I knew you had no good intentions."
Aburame Shiki said angrily.
"How do you talk?"
Tsunade stretched out her hands, pinched his face hard, and said, "I'm a teacher!"
"Would a teacher do such childish behavior?"
Aburame Shiki asked back.
"Why not? What teachers do to students is allowed."
Tsunade smiled broadly.
"..."
Shiki Aburame wrote down her bad behavior in a small notebook.
Next time, I have to find a way to pinch it back.
"go home!"
Tsunade waved her hand and said, "Go to work tomorrow!"
"Doesn't it matter this afternoon?"
Aburame Zhihui walked out side by side with her.
"fine."
Tsunade said casually, "After finishing the qualifiers today, most of the ninjas from other villages will leave, and the pressure on Konoha will be reduced a lot."
"Is there anything going on over there in Sunagakure Village?"
Aburame Shiki asked.
"No."
Tsunade paused and asked, "Do you want to know information about Gaara?"
"So be it."
Aburame Zhihui looked indifferent.
"It's not Gaara, is it Temari?"
Tsunade asked on a whim.
"...?"
Aburame Shiki rolled his eyes at her, "What on earth are you thinking about?"
"so rude!"
Tsunade stretched out her hand to flick his forehead, but he dodged it and she couldn't help but curl her lips.
I think you are neither big nor small.
Aburame Shiki finally noticed the change in Tsunade.
Although it is small, it is indeed more lively or playful than before.
To put it simply, her personality has become more feminine.
In the past, Tsunade's femininity all came from her curvy figure.
"I have asked the ANBU to collect Gaara's information."
Tsunade said as she walked, "You should be able to see it tomorrow."
"Thank you, teacher."
Aburame Zhihui felt warm in her heart.
This woman is becoming more and more thoughtful.
Back at Senju's former residence, Tsunade took off the Hokage's robe, lay down on the sofa, and lay it to pieces.
Her white arms rested on her head, her sleeveless top tilted outwards with a soft burden, her legs were straightened, and her bare feet were swaying gently.
Aburame Shiki admired it openly for a few seconds, then turned around and returned to the room.
He had nothing to do, so he started practicing.
Until night fell, Shizune opened the door and returned home.
During the Chunin Exams, the number of ninjas increased, and there were more fights, so the hospital became the busiest place.
Shizune glanced at Tsunade sleeping on the sofa and shook her head.
But she didn't bother him. She took another look at Aburame Zhihui who was practicing, and then went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.
Two in one. There is still one chapter left to finish, I will update it during the day
