The final round of the Chunin Exams began.
At the entrance of the Konoha battle arena, Seisuke looked at his two teammates and asked, "What the hell have you two been doing these days? How did you end up like this?"
Both Kurenai and Asuma had numerous abrasions on their bodies, and their hands were bandaged.
Asuma scratched his nose and said, "You don't understand. Scars are a man's medals!"
Seisuke said speechlessly, "But those aren't Kurenai's. Kurenai will surely be a beauty in the future. If she has scars on her body now, it won't look good later."
Girls all love beauty. Seisuke was worried. Asuma patted his chest and said, "Even if Kurenai turns into an ugly duckling in the future, I won't dislike her!"
Oh, you're dead!
"You're the one who will turn into an ugly duckling!" Asuma was greeted with Kurenai's furious strike.
"So, do you know why you can't win Kurenai's heart?" Seisuke glanced at Kurenai's back and smiled.
"Girls are shy. It must be because I'm too handsome, and Kurenai is too shy to confess."
No, your Sarutobi clan has thick hair, and the word "handsome" basically has nothing to do with you.
Looking at Asuma's rather mature - looking face, Seisuke didn't say what was on his mind. He just said, "You'll be single for the rest of your life like this."
It's a miracle that Kurenai will be chased by this guy in the future. Could it be that when Kurenai gets older, she wants to find someone mature and reliable?
Then, when she looks at her peers, Asuma is the only one with a bearded face, looking very mature and reliable, so she chooses him?
Poor Asuma.
"No, that's impossible! I'm so handsome. I can't be single."
"Look at my face and say that again."
"Asshole! Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you're handsome!"
"Sorry, being handsome really allows you to do whatever you want!"
Seisuke laughed heartily and stepped through the gate of the Konoha battle arena.
The spectator seats of the battle arena were already filled with quite a few people. Besides the contestants, some jonin instructors had also come.
Yuhi Shinku was already waiting for them inside.
The Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, appeared, accompanied by Orochimaru and Jiraiya. With his two disciples, he walked with a sense of pride.
As they appeared, the originally noisy battle arena fell silent. A group of genin looked at them. These were the top - tier combat forces of Konoha. Taking them down would make Konoha vulnerable. Of course, this was just wishful thinking.
Sarutobi Hiruzen coughed and said, "Well, the final - round exam begins. The last fifteen people remaining will have the qualification to be promoted to chunin. Without further ado, let's start!"
A figure landed and said, "Lord Hokage, leave the rest to me."
"I'll leave it to you."
Sarutobi Hiruzen, along with Orochimaru and the others, sat in the spectator seats with the best view.
Jiraiya chuckled and said, "Orochimaru, I didn't expect you, a home - body, to show up. Are you concerned about your disciple?"
Orochimaru said, "I'm just here to see the results of his training."
"By the way, you went off to do experiments, and your disciple came to me for help. Seriously, you should at least fulfill your responsibilities as a teacher."
"He told me about it. He traded a technique for it. It was a deal. Jiraiya, what technique did he use?" Seisuke had told him about it. He had asked what ninjutsu it was, but Seisuke had been evasive. He wanted to know what technique could get guidance from Jiraiya.
Jiraiya's face stiffened, and he coughed. "It's a very great technique. Orochimaru, I have to say, your disciple is a genius."
"Of course he is a genius."
"With his strength and Kekkei Genkai, (I guess few people can beat him)."
"I told him not to use that special Kekkei Genkai unless it's absolutely necessary." He had studied it. Although he couldn't figure out the mystery of Seisuke's clan, he could conclude that it wasn't a special ninjutsu but a special physique, a special physique that could turn a person into flames, extremely rare.
"Why are you restricting his strength?"
"Just to make him grow more rapidly." Orochimaru said casually.
Listening to his two disciples chatting casually, Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled and said, "Let's wait and see."
The referee below had already started explaining the rules. "Each person in this battle will go through two matches. The opponents will be randomly selected. Also, killing and maiming are not allowed in this battle. Those who violate the rules will be deprived of the exam qualification for life. That's all. Now, the two participants in the first - round battle are..."
The names of all the contestants began to appear on the big screen hanging on the wall, being randomly selected.
Finally, it stopped.
"Asakawa Seisuke VS Yotsuki!"
"This is quite something. Is this little guy in the first round?"
Jiraiya showed an expression of eager anticipation. "Hmm, and she's a Kekkei Genkai user from Sunagakure. How does it compare to the Kekkei Genkai of our Konoha?"
"Scorch Release? This is a rather dangerous Kekkei Genkai. Is Sunagakure really willing to send her here?" Orochimaru said.
Kekkei Genkai ninjas are treasures in all ninja villages. Once they grow up, even if they're not at the Kage - level, as long as they don't disappoint, they're usually elite jonin. However, sending an un - grown - up Kekkei Genkai ninja to another village is a very dangerous thing.
Although the Land of Wind and the Land of Fire are allies, there are still grudges between the two major ninja villages, and they keep an eye on each other. Sending a Kekkei Genkai ninja to another village, if something goes wrong and isn't handled properly, could lead to war.
"Let's wait and see first."
...
"I didn't expect to be in the first match. What kind of luck is this?" He didn't want to be the first to show off at all.
It should be Kakashi. After all, in the last Shinobi World War, his father killed so many people in Sunagakure that they were trembling.
"Come on, Seisuke!"
"Yeah, go for it!"
Kurenai and Asuma cheered him on. Yuhi Shinku said, "Be careful. The enemy is a Kekkei Genkai ninja from Sunagakure. She's not easy to deal with."
"I understand."
Seisuke jumped down from the railing and landed steadily on the arena below. The little loli Yotsuki walked over with a serious face. She was a beauty in the making. She would surely be a great beauty in the future. Unfortunately, she would end up being betrayed and killed.
After the referee confirmed the identities of the two, he said, "Well, the first match of the third - round individual battle of the Chunin Exams, Asakawa Seisuke vs Yotsuki, officially begins!"
With that, he jumped out of the arena to give them space.
"Come on, Konoha ninja!"
The little loli Yotsuki regarded this battle very seriously. She wanted to show the glory of Sunagakure! Show the glory of the female ninjas of Sunagakure!
"Okay, before we start, I have a question for you."
"What?" Yotsuki looked at him in confusion.
"What... what kind of boy do you like?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire place fell silent!
