Chapter 659
[The next day, the circular open-air venue and the circular spectator stand were filled with spectators from all over the ninja world. Since this was the first exam jointly held by the five major ninja villages, the other four Kages who came from afar, accompanied by Naruto, were already seated on the highest stand, quietly waiting for the exam to begin. ]
[Along with the warm atmosphere in the venue, the examiner of the third exam, Xiao Li, came out to explain the rules of the competition to the candidates. It was the most classic individual elimination match, where candidates faced off against each other, and the winners continued to advance until the champion of the competition was decided. ]
[After the rules were made clear, the names of the players in the first match appeared on the big screen of the venue, with Konoha's Uzumaki Boruto facing Kumogakure's Yurui. 】
["Hey! Almost all the Five Kage have been replaced!"]
["Except for Naruto and Gaara, who are both familiar faces, the other three are all new faces!"]
["Forget about Ohnoki, after all, he is already over 70 years old, not to mention the future decades later, but the Fourth Raikage and the Fifth Mizukage are not yet at retirement age."]
["The ninja world has not always been so peaceful. How many Kage can retire peacefully?"]
["What I mean is that some of the current Five Kage have sacrificed, but that's true. Although the Fourth War was won, we don't know how much sacrifice they made."]
["Let's not talk about this. I want to ask if anyone knows these three new Kages?"]
["Isn't this Raikage Darui? As the right-hand man of the Fourth Raikage, it is natural for him to become the Fifth Raikage."]
["Tsuchikage...like If I'm not mistaken, it should be Ohnoki's granddaughter Kurotsuchi, why isn't her father Huangtu the Tsuchikage?"]
["I don't know the Mizukage, if anyone in Kirigakure knows him, please tell me."]
["No way! Chojuro is such a coward, but he will become the Mizukage in the future?"]
Darui scratched his head, with a look of lack of energy on his face: "Ah, so troublesome, the Raikage or something!"
"What are you talking about!" The Raikage slapped Darui on the back, almost making him vomit blood: "No matter what the situation is, since you will become the Raikage in the future, you should show your energy now, and I will arrange your next tasks according to the standards of training the Raikage!"
"Ahaha! Look, old man! I will become the Tsuchikage in the future, so you might as well abdicate and give this position to me, so that you don't have to complain about back pain all day long!" Kurotsuchi shouted excitedly.
Ohnoki's face was dark, and he roared at the overjoyed Kurotsuchi: "You wish! No matter what the future holds, you are still far from it now. Even if I abdicate, it will be your father who will become the Tsuchikage, not you!"
In the Mizukage's office, Terumi Mei looked thoughtful and asked Ao beside her: "I remember this child, I think his name is Chojuro, the one who became a Chunin not long ago?"
"Yes, and he is the one with the best compatibility among the candidates for the Aoi, but his personality is a little cowardly." Ao explained what he knew.
"Since he will become the Mizukage in the future, it means that he has something to recommend him. Give him more responsibilities and don't bury his talent." Terumi thought for a while and gave instructions.
At this time, Chojuro, who was carrying out a mission with his teammates, had an expression of satisfaction and disbelief on his face after seeing himself become the Mizukage on the sky screen.
"Me? Mizukage?"
["By the way, Gaara, your hair style looks like it was licked by a dog. It's really a bit old-fashioned!"]
["Hahaha! I didn't realize it until you said it. Now that you mention it, I suddenly remember that among these familiar people who appeared in the future, the men seem to be a bit unkempt. Shikamaru is like this, Sasuke is like this, and Naruto is like this."]
["Sasuke is mainly busy outside so he has no time to take care of his hair. On the contrary, Naruto and Shikamaru are only in their thirties, but their hairlines look very dangerous."]
["Shikamaru's hairline is inherited from his ancestors, and Naruto's hairline is probably just caused by exhaustion."]
[The game officially began. The two sides approached each other at the same time and launched a standard physical battle with ninja swords and kunai. As the weapons collided, a tense verbal battle also followed. 】
【After the two sides exchanged attacks for a few times, seeing that they could not gain an advantage with physical skills, Yurui took the lead in changing his offensive. In a close confrontation, he took the opportunity to blow a blue bubble towards Boruto. 】
【Because Boruto had studied the opponent's video before the game, he knew that Yurui's bubble had the ability to trap the enemy, so he didn't think much and directly pierced the bubble with a kunai, but he didn't expect the bubble to explode directly, and Boruto was blown away in a mess. 】
【Fortunately, the explosion was not strong, and Boruto quickly stood up again, but saw that the field had been occupied by Yurui.A large number of bubbles were placed between the two sides. Yurui smiled triumphantly and controlled the bubbles to approach from all directions, gradually squeezing Boruto's space for movement. 】
["Well...both sides are about the same level in terms of physical skills. Next, it depends on their respective ninjutsu and tactical arrangements."]
["No, is there still suspense in this game? No matter what, Boruto has scientific ninja tools to back him up. He will definitely win before he is discovered!"]
["The bubbles that explode...should be a special ninja tool, not some kind of bloodline limit."]
["Is it a triggered explosion, or a controlled one?"]
["It should be the latter. Otherwise, Boruto can break this formation by just throwing a few kunai shuriken."]
["That will test the timing of the controller to launch the explosion, but with so many of them, the advantage is still obvious."]
[Seeing that the footholds around him disappeared one after another, Boruto tried to use shuriken to attack Yurui from a distance to open up the situation, but it was difficult to catch the opportunity for the shuriken to pass through the gap in the bubble. Not only was his offensive easily disintegrated by bursts of explosions, but he himself was blown away and fled everywhere. Several times he almost took the opponent's attack at close range. 】
【"Damn it!" Looking at the approaching Bubble again, Boruto reached out and took out the shuriken from his ninja tool bag, but inadvertently remembered Naruto's praise for him before. 】
【Looking at Naruto from a distance, Boruto let go of the ordinary shuriken in the ninja tool bag, and instead ejected a mini scroll from the scientific ninja tool and held it tightly. 】
【"I won't... lose here!" With this declaration, Boruto threw a green shuriken and successfully passed through Bubble's defense line. Despite this, with the shuriken's turning angle at this time, it was still a long way to hit Yurui who was almost standing at a 90-degree corner. 】
