Chapter 679: The Way of the Ninja, The Way of Bluffing (2nd Update)
The trio of sound ninjas,Its own strength can only be regarded as above average among the lower ninjas participating in this competition.,If you don't count the protagonist and his party who are making rapid progress.,It can be said that it's the group that is most likely to defeat the promotion round.γ
But even so, it is still just a dispensable pawn of Orochimaru, and it is natural to be discarded at the right time, and now that Le Yuan wants a place to play ninja, it is naturally not a problem. For Orochimaru, Le Yuan's value is higher than that of his three subordinates.
And the most important point, and the reason why Orochimaru does not use force, is that his intuition tells him that there is no absolute certainty that he will leave Le Yuan. In the two years since he was missing, Le Yuan, who he had always thought of as an experiment, had unconsciously grown or become an existence that he needed to scruple about.
And now Shack and Jin, who are in the same group as Le Yuan, don't dare to breathe, after all, the power shown by Le Yuan is not much worse than their Orochimaru, and more importantly, the guy who picks the thorn has already set an example for them.
On the night after Le Yuan replaced Thoth and entered the Sound Ninja Team, Le Yuan, who was hanging out in Konoha , was challenged by Thoth. And Thoth's self-indulgent actions attracted the two of them behind Le Yuan, Jin and Sak, who shook their heads secretly, after all, Sack had already personally tried Le Yuan's spiritual oppression, and it was not an existence that they could fight against at the level of ninja at all.
And Le Yuan looked at Thoth, who was eager to try in front of him, and thought of far more things than Kim and Sark. Toth would come to challenge so blindly, there is no doubt that he was not stable at all He came up with a decision, it must have been caused by Orochimaru fanning the flames behind him. And the purpose is nothing more than to test the bottom line of Le Yuan's strength, and in a sense, it is also convenient to start in the future.
"Alasβwhy are you so unloving! Forget it, come with me first, this is not the place to do it! β
Le Yuan intentionally or unintentionally chopped towards the edge of the grass pile behind Thoth, maybe the others didn't notice, but Le Yuan clearly saw the sound and shadow of a small blue snake with a humanized gaze, which was undoubtedly Orochimaru's eyes and ears.
When Raku-achi and the three-person trio arrived at an abandoned training ground in Konoha, Kim and Shack finally understood what murder was, and why their Orochimaru-sama valued Rakubuchi so much that he parachuted into the squad of three.
Le Yuan and Thoth have only been fighting for five minutes, and it has always been Thoth who occupies the main attacking position, and the [Ringing Piercing] in his hand to paralyze the opponent's hearing has been attacking Le Yuan, and at the same time, the Detonator and Kunai have been attacking non-stop.
But even in the midst of such a dense attack, it still didn't cause any damage to Le Yuan. Le Yuan dodged most of the attacks with just seemingly simple footwork, and only made a counterattack at the end of the match.
That's right, Le Yuan only used one attack to solve the entire battle. It took less than a thousandth of the time of the entire duel, and Toth, who had always been the strongest of the three, was completely wiped out of this world by Le Yuan's fist that was more than ten meters away.
And when Le Yuan ended the battle, the sight of the psychic snake that had been hiding on one side also disappeared. For this ear and eye who has been monitoring him, Le Yuan didn't snipe at all, after all, it was unrealistic to want to make Orochimaru feel at ease for a while and not expose something.
On July 1, the 60th year of the ninja calendar, for Konoha in the land of fire, it is already early summer at this time. But more importantly, the annual middle ninja exam will be held in Konoha, the first of the five major ninja villages, and this time the middle ninja exam has attracted hundreds of lower ninjas from major ninja villages to participate.
And Le Yuan took the other two ninjas to the registration place for the first session of the middle ninja exam - the ninja school that gave birth to countless Konoha ninjas.
According to the rules of the Chunin exam, the three-person team that submits the recommendation form before 4 pm on the 1st will be eligible to participate in the Chunin exam.
And the sound ninja village that Le Yuan temporarily joined can be said to be a special case within a special case, due to the particularity of the village, there is no special ninja school, so naturally there is no chance of graduating and becoming a lower ninja. But fortunately, the way of ninja in this promotion is still the same as that of other ninja villages, so Le Yuan can replace Thoth, who has completely evaporated, before the exam starts.
Le Yuan, who came to Konoha early, took this opportunity to see the twelve Konoha Xiaoqiang who had just grown up, and I have to say that they are still too tender, whether it is the Ningji trio who is one year older than the protagonist or the Shikamaru who is a superhuman in wisdom, they are still very young, and they are not worth mentioning at all in terms of strength and experience.
This live version of Naruto really made Le Yuan a little excited, after all, the feeling of being involved in person is more exciting than being separated from a big screen.
"My lord, do you see if we continue to ......?"
Moon River Inn, the place where Xiaoxue's parents have been living since the death of her parents, has lived for more than ten years, and when she stepped into this place again, her heart was suddenly wrapped in the ups and downs of life.
The warmth of this home, the happiness of this home, the hard work of this home...... Every scene made Yu Xiaoxue feel so far away, although it was only less than three years for her, but Yu Xiaoxue, who had experienced countless deeds, felt as if decades had passed.
As soon as they entered the hall of the inn, the two looked up at the inn counter not far away, and found that the person standing there was not the familiar Uncle He, but a woman under the age of twenty who looked extremely simple, but had a shrewd look between her eyebrows.
This woman seems to be the current shopkeeper of the Yuehe Inn, Yu Xiaoxue's face suddenly darkened when she saw that the old man He who was not familiar to her standing in the counter was not her own, and she didn't know if she felt lost because she didn't see her relatives, and suddenly stopped moving forward.
"Don't look at it, although the layout here has changed slightly, it has undergone several repairs, but I can feel that Uncle He's room layout has not changed, and he is fine!"
Le Yuan's right hand patted Yu Xiaoxue's right shoulder, comforting her who was a little lost. It wasn't until Le Yuan and Yu Xiaoxue exchanged voices that the woman who was holding an abacus and constantly calculating the account books at the counter raised her head and found the two people who had entered the inn.
The two of them have cultivated well, their steps are light and light, and it is an extremely simple thing not to be known by ordinary people, if it weren't for Le Yuan's idea of wanting to hide his voice, I'm afraid that even the loud conversation between the two would be able to do so that the woman would not be touched.
"Ah......h
Obviously, after the woman looked up, she was also startled by the sudden appearance of Le Yuan and Yu Xiaoxue, especially Yu Xiaoxue's snow-like silver-white hair and her face that was so beautiful that it was not like a mortal, the 16-year-old Yu Xiaoxue suddenly appeared, so that the woman in charge only felt that she had either met a fairy or a female ghost.
After seeing Le Yuan on the side clearly, and the figures under the feet of the two people, the woman in charge patted her somewhat plump chest and breathed a long sigh of relief, and then her face was suddenly covered with a warm smile, and she showed a formulaic smile to Le Yuan and Yu Xiaoxue with a familiar look.
"Two guest officers, if you want to play the tip or stay in the hotel, these are the first time you have come to this Yuehe Village, and they look quite faced!"
And when Yu Xiaoxue heard that this woman in charge would say that it was "the first time" for her, a native of Yuehe Village, she suddenly felt an indescribable sadness, and no one recognized her all the way from outside the village just now, which may be due to the fact that there are not many people on the road, and more importantly, time has washed away people's memories.
Le Yuan stepped forward and stood in front of Yu Xiaoxue, and at the same time asked the female shopkeeper who was still in the counter: "Hahaha, you can say that the boss is bad, I remember that Uncle He was in charge of the Yuehe Inn last time I came, I don't know how his old man is now, the old man is in good health?" β
Le Yuan's words were like ordinary greetings between the villagers, with indescribable warmth between the words, and for a while the female shopkeeper forgot that the person in front of her had not seen it at all, and only felt that she wanted to continue to communicate with him.
"Look at what you said, you must have been here three years ago, Uncle He has been giving up this Moon River Inn for some time, and now this inn is me and my husband are helping, Uncle He is already idle, and now he is walking in the village with his children at this time! Guest, do you know Uncle He? β
The female shopkeeper only had the time to calm down at this time and look at Le Yuan and Yu Xiaoxue again, although Le Yuan didn't look like an ordinary person, with a transcendent aura on his body, but when he looked at Yu Xiaoxue on the side, he felt that he had heard of it somewhere. That silver-white hair, it seems that I often hear people mention it, but I can't remember it for a while.
At this time, Yu Xiaoxue also heard something from the words of the female shopkeeper, walked out from behind Le Yuan and came to the female shopkeeper, looked at the face of the female shopkeeper and looked left and right, and found that although the female shopkeeper was not very beautiful, but it was very attractive, and with her shrewd and capable and eloquent appearance, it looked quite beautiful in this small place in Yuehe Village.
"Could it be that your husband is ...... Mean, Xiao Shuo? β
Yu Xiaoxue's question can be said to be completely reasonable, this Uncle He has no children and no daughters, and has always supported Yu Xiaoxue and her younger brother Xiaoshuo as his own children, and now due to his age, he has retired from the position of the innkeeper, so the only person who can entrust the inn to Xiao Shuo is Xiao Shuo, who is his own grandson, and in this way, the female shopkeeper in front of him is Xiao Shuo's daughter-in-law, that is, Yu Xiaoxue's brother-in-law.
