Chapter 118: A False Alarm, Chunin Exam (Two in One, Please Vote!) (1/2)
At noon on January 31, the day before the Chunin Exam.
As Team 7 has confirmed to participate in the Chunin Selection Exam, today Team 7 members Qianhe, Ayane, and Gekko Hayate handed the signed application form to the instructor, Kawashima Kaede.
After handing in the application form, Qianhe and Ayane prepared to have a meal together, while Gekko Hayate left on the pretext of practicing swordsmanship.
Although they belonged to Team 7, Gekko Hayate always felt a sense of distance from the two of them.
It's not that they have a bad relationship, on the contrary, the atmosphere within Team 7 is very harmonious.
It's just that Gekko Hayate is not good at speaking, always obsessed with swordsmanship, and rarely attends private gatherings.
Qianhe didn't care about this.
And Ayane was secretly happy that there was no light bulb.
At Qianhe's suggestion, the two walked towards Ichiraku Ramen together.
"People in front! Make way!"
"Please make way!"
At this time, Qianhe and Caiyin, who were walking slowly on the street, suddenly heard anxious voices and hurried footsteps from behind.
Qianhe looked back and saw two medical ninjas in white coats carrying a stretcher and passing quickly on the street.
Since there were many people on the street where Qianhe was walking, the two medical ninjas shouted while running, signaling the people in front to make way.
Because of the shouting of the two medical ninjas, the crowd automatically retreated to both sides, leaving a passage in the middle.
Qianhe pulled Caiyin aside, and when the stretcher passed in front of him, he subconsciously glanced at it.
On the stretcher was an unconscious little boy, his chest was stained with blood, and his exposed hands and feet had obvious scratches and bruises.
"Itachi?!!"
Qianhe's pupils shrank suddenly, it was Itachi!
How did he get hurt like this?
When the two medical ninjas passed through the crowd, six more medical ninjas came over carrying a stretcher.
However, they did not rush through the crowd, but walked normally.
Although they did not speak, the crowd still consciously made way to both sides.
Because the stretcher was covered with a white cloth, covering the person on it completely, only dead people would be like this.
There were bloodstains under the white cloth, and blood drops dripped on the ground from time to time, emitting a pungent bloody smell, which made people around avoid it.
"Excuse me, what happened?"
Qianhe and Caiyin walked forward and asked the medical ninja who came first.
This medical ninja wore a white coat and a mask, revealing only a pair of eyes, but judging from his body shape, he should be a man.
He saw that although Qianhe and Caiyin were children, they were both wearing forehead protectors, and they were obviously ninjas, especially Caiyin's iconic eyes. Even if the eyes were not activated, people could recognize him as a member of the Hyuga clan at a glance.
He said in a deep voice: "Team 6 was attacked while on a mission. In addition to Uchiha Itachi who was injured and unconscious, the other two Genin and the guiding Jonin were killed."
"Even the Jonin died?!" Caiyin exclaimed: "Is it a sneak attack by ninjas from the enemy country? Otherwise, how could ordinary C and D missions encounter such strong enemies?"
"I won't say more to you. We have to place the bodies first and then report this matter."
As he said, the six medical ninjas accelerated through the crowd.
At this time, Qianhe finally remembered that in the original work, Uchiha opened the Sharingan at the age of eight. It seemed that Uchiha Obito had done it to help Itachi open the Sharingan as soon as possible.
Although Qianhe knew it, he didn't know the specific day. He didn't expect that he would take action so soon.
Thinking back to last year, they had a dinner with Team 6. Now, except Itachi, the remaining three have become cold corpses, which makes Qianhe feel cold in his heart.
Compared with the original work, he, the time traveler, has produced a considerable butterfly effect.
Originally, he had never heard that the main family had two branches, and he had never even seen Ayane beside him. Could this be a parallel world of the Naruto world?
Thinking of this, Qianhe suddenly felt a little panicked.
After all, in the original work, apart from Shisui, the only people of the same age who had a good relationship with Itachi were his two teammates Izumi.
And now Qianhe and Itachi have a good relationship. If it was really Shisui who did it, then he himself would be in danger.
If Obito chose to kill him so that Itachi could open the Sharingan, wouldn't he have walked through the gates of hell?
What's worse is that if it wasn't Obito who attacked Itachi, wouldn't it mean that his original advantage of knowing the plot was gone?
Even if there is the Light Robbery Clone, if this is not the Naruto world he is familiar with, wouldn't it be a lot more dangerous for no reason?
Thinking of this, Qianhe felt a chill in his heart!
"Go!" Qianhe called Ayane and ran forward quickly.
"Qianhe, wait for me, where are you going?" Ayane hurriedly chased after Qianhe.
"Let's go to the hospital to see Itachi."
Said Qianhe, he couldn't help but quicken his pace.
Ayane followed closely behind.
After arriving at the hospital and asking the nurse on duty, Qianhe and Ayane went up to the ward on the third floor, but were stopped by a nurse at the door of the ward.
"Hello, we are friends of Uchiha Itachi. How is his condition?" Qianhe looked anxious, but still remained polite.
The nurse replied: "Are you friends of Uchiha Itachi? He is receiving treatment from the doctor inside, please wait a moment.
He is not seriously injured, there should be no major problems, the specific situation will be known after the doctor finishes the treatment."
"I know. We will wait quietly outside." Qianhe looked through the window into the ward and saw a medical ninja examining Itachi.
He didn't go directly into the operating room. Obviously, as the nurse said, there was no big problem.
Seeing this, Qianhe was relieved, on the one hand for Itachi, and on the other hand because she would get the answer soon.
It took less than ten minutes to wait, and Itachi's parents, Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Mikoto, arrived.
After asking the nurse about the situation, the two chatted briefly with Qianhe and Ayane, and then waited outside together.
Mikoto's face was full of heartache and worry, and although Fugaku had a gloomy face and no expression, his frown and eyes that looked around from time to time revealed his emotions.
"Mom, how is Nissan?" At this time, Sasuke in Mikoto's arms looked into the ward with tears in his eyes.
"Sasuke, brother is fine." Mikoto touched Sasuke's head and coaxed him softly.
Soon, Quan also arrived, and everyone waited quietly outside the ward.
Finally, after another ten difficult minutes, the doctor came out.
"Mr. Fugaku." The doctor obviously knew Fugaku, and saluted him as soon as he came out.
"No need to be polite, how is Itachi?"
"Itachi is only slightly injured, and he will be fine after a few days of rest." The doctor smiled.
"Thank you." Fugaku bowed to the doctor.
The doctor waved his hand quickly, "You are seriously ill, Itachi should wake up soon."
After the doctor left, a group of people rushed into the ward. At this time, Itachi's face was slightly pale, and he was sleeping soundly on the bed.
window._taboola = window._taboola || ; _taboola.push({ mode: 'thumbs-feed-01', container: 'taboola-below-article-feed', placement: 'Below Article Feed', target_type: 'mix' });
After waiting for another ten minutes, the person on the bed finally woke up.
Soon, Itachi accepted the reality. Under Fugaku's questioning, Qianhe learned the process. It was a masked man who attacked their team 7. The instructor, Mizunotsuki, was killed in one move, and his two teammates also died tragically in front of him.
Seeing Itachi so depressed, they didn't ask more questions. After Qianhe greeted Itachi a few words, she left the ward with Ayane.
When he left, his heart was finally relieved. It seemed that it was Obito.
If it wasn't Obito, it couldn't explain why the other party, with overwhelming strength, only let Itachi go.
"Qianhe, what are you thinking about?"
Ayane's concerned voice sounded, Qianhe raised her head, and saw that she looked at him with a worried face.
"Nothing." Qianhe shook her head, calmed down, rubbed Caiyin's head, and smiled: "I will definitely not let others hurt you easily."
Ayane was stunned for a moment, and seeing that he didn't want to say more, she didn't ask any more.
......
A jonin and two genin were killed in a C-level mission, and the heir to the next patriarch of the Uchiha clan almost died in this incident.
The village showed great attention to this matter and held a high-level meeting overnight.
Many people thought of the team sent by the Hidden Cloud Village to participate in the Chunin Exam, and it seemed that there were two jonins accompanying them.
In addition, although this Chunin Exam was not jointly held, Sand Village and Rock Village both sent a team. In addition, there were also the strong Taki Village and Rain Village. For a while, all kinds of speculations appeared at the meeting.
......
On February 1, after this episode, the Chunin Exam came as scheduled.
Qianhe, Caiyin, and Gekko Hayate's team 7 arrived at the Ninja School early and headed for the large classroom on the fourth floor.
"Feng said he would come to cheer us up, why didn't I see him?" When she reached the door of the large classroom, Caiyin looked at both sides of the corridor and confirmed that there was no sign of Kawashima Kaede, and she couldn't help but feel a little confused.
Qianhe also felt a little strange. Their teacher was different from a certain late king in the future. He was usually very punctual and was basically the first to arrive when something happened.
I remember Kawashima Kaede said he would come to cheer them up before, but where was he?
Glancing at the wall clock, Qianhe said, "It's almost time, let's not wait, let's go in first."
Hiss~
Qianhe pushed the door open and saw that most of the seats in the large classroom were already occupied.
These Genin inside looked all kinds of weird, Qianhe could only think of this adjective.
There were all kinds of weird looks. If she hadn't been sure that she was awake and not dreaming, Qianhe would have suspected that she was not here to participate in the Chunin selection exam, but the Shamatte anniversary party.
Forget about the belly-baring outfit for boys, but what's the point of dyeing green hair when you look so ugly?
Is it natural?
Sorry to bother you.
And the earrings and nose rings, are you sure they won't be pulled off during the battle?
After taking a closer look at the forehead protector, Qianhe found that most of these people were from other villages, and many of them looked to be in their teens or twenties.
Some of them looked like programmers in their twenties, and they were all bald...
"Huh? Why are there still little ghosts? This is not a first-grade classroom, get out quickly."
Seeing Qianhe and the other two walk into the classroom, and looking at their appearance, they clearly look like freshmen, and someone immediately shouted.
They have been waiting here for more than an hour, and they are almost going crazy with boredom.
Hearing the shouting, Qianhe glanced at the source of the sound.
The male ninja who spoke looked to be in his twenties and was still very handsome.
What's that on his face? Foundation? Why is it so white? It doesn't match the color of his neck at all.
Looking again, the forehead protector is a ball. Which ninja village is this ninja from? From the Niang Ninja Village?
"Get out, kid!"
"Let's go!"
"Go home and drink milk."
As soon as someone took the lead, there were people who were bored and followed suit, and the whole classroom instantly became lively.
Seeing this, Caiyin's face became angry and she was about to step forward. Qianhe pressed her shoulders and looked at the podium at the same time.
Swish!
A tall red-haired man appeared behind the podium.
Whoosh!
Duh!
A stream of light flew out and hit the table of the foundation man who had just shouted. He was still standing on the table with one leg.
Looking at the short knife stuck on the table, the cold blade was only one centimeter away from his crotch, and he was sweating all over.
Da Da Da...
The person who appeared behind the podium was the seventh team's instructor, Kawashima Kaede. He walked slowly to the table of the foundation man, stretched out his hand to hold the handle, pulled up the short knife, and sheathed it.
"I am Kawashima Kaede, the Konoha senior ninja, and the chief examiner of the first exam. I hope you will cherish public property and don't put your feet on the table, okay?"
Kawashima Kaede smiled and said lightly.
"Know... Know..."
Feeling Kawashima Kaede's powerful aura, the foundation man put his feet down tremblingly.
The candidates around looked at the deep knife marks on the table, wondering who would not cherish public property, of course no one dared to say such words.
Seeing Kawashima Kaede walking back to the podium, Ayane put her hands on her waist and gave him a thumbs up. According to Qianhe, this action is called giving you a thumbs up.
In response, Qianhe also followed Ayane's example and gave him a "thumbs up" - Brother Kaede from Konoha, who is ruthless and doesn't talk much.
No wonder I didn't see Kawashima Kaede, it turned out that he was the examiner of the first exam.
In fact, the examiner today was originally a special jonin, but after yesterday's incident, in order to prevent someone from making trouble, the examiner was temporarily changed to Kawashima Kaede, who is a businessman.
Not only that, additional staff were also assigned to the next few exams.
Then, Kawashima Kaede stood on the podium and began to explain the rules of the first exam, which was similar to the Chunin exam that Qianhe knew about, just a simple written exam.
After Kawashima Kaede explained the rules, he scattered the seats of the candidates in a mess, and then six Chunins came in one after another and began to distribute the test papers.
The content of the exam was very simple for Qianhe, but he finished the test paper in just over ten minutes. It should be no problem to get 99 points, not a perfect score.
After finishing the test paper, there were still more than 40 minutes left. Qianhe sat in his seat bored, observing the surroundings with the corner of his eyes.
Seeing many candidates scratching their heads, he couldn't help but laugh secretly.
Suddenly, Qianhe felt a strange gaze coming from the front right. He looked to the front right and saw a pale and bloodless woman looking at Qianhe.
The woman looked pretty, but Qianhe felt like he was being stared at by a venomous snake.
Qianhe was full of doubts. He was sure he had never seen this woman.
"Who is this person?"
