As long as you can enter the home field, you can be noticed by the Third Hokage.
Not to mention getting first place, as long as they can enter the home field and be noticed by Sarutobi Hiruzen, in the eyes of these students, it is already an incomparable honor.
In the excitement of the entire third branch, Yu Ye left here and headed to the home court!
Kushina wanted to give up her own game and go to the home field, but she had already participated. Even if she gave up in every game, she still had to wait until the end to determine a complete ranking.
So Kushina was in the crowd, watching Naito leave with a hint of hope.
The noise in the third quarter was earth-shattering.
Even the first, second, and fourth players in other directions, as well as the home side, had people looking at them sideways.
In the first quarter.
Namikaze Minato, who was about to participate in the fourth game, looked slightly surprised in the direction of the noisy third branch in the distance.
"It seems that someone has already won the championship, and he is faster than me."
After his eyes flickered for a moment, he smiled nonchalantly.
It doesn't matter if you enter first. Anyway, when you get to the home field, you still have to fight to decide the ranking.
He would not give up the first place to anyone.
There was a hint of relaxed confidence in Namikaze Minato's eyes.
On the other side, at home.
The third generation Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had finished setting up and was sitting on the main stage waiting, smiled when he heard the movement.
"It seems that an outstanding child has appeared. Who will it be?"
"It must be the talented boy Namikaze Minato who surpassed Orochimaru!"
Behind Sarutobi Hiruzen stood Jiraiya, who was now an elite jounin and one of the future three ninjas.
In the ninja school, Namikaze Minato is the undisputed number one in every aspect, and he almost always crushes the second place, even better than Orochimaru in his youth!
Under such circumstances, Namikaze Minato's reputation as a genius has naturally attracted the attention of Konoha's top brass.
After listening to Jiraiya's words, Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled slightly and nodded.
I thought in my mind that if nothing else happened, it would be the kid from Namikaze Minato.
However, at this moment, Orochimaru walked over quietly from another direction, with an inexplicable arc raised at the corner of his mouth.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk... that's not necessarily the case."
"Why, Orochimaru, you're not convinced? You're not as outstanding as Minato at your age, right?"
Jiraiya looked at Orochimaru with a groan.
Orochimaru was too lazy to pay attention to Jiraiya, but shrugged and said calmly: "That's not what I meant."
"Then what do you mean?"
"See for yourself!"
Orochimaru gestured slightly in one direction.
Sarutobi Hiruzen and Jiraiya both looked over in surprise.
Then, both of them were surprised.
Because they all saw it, the first winner to go to the home court.
It was a boy with silver-white hair.
Not Namikaze Minato, but Naito!
"This is impossible, there is someone faster than Minato!"
Jiraiya almost screamed, with a look of disbelief on his face.
The first winner... wasn't Namikaze Minato? !
Orochimaru on the side showed a slightly evil expression and said happily: "Is there anything impossible..."
"It's interesting. I thought there was only Namikaze Minato among the geniuses in this era."
Tsunade walked over from behind lazily, her beautiful eyes flashing with a strange light, and said: "He must be the child who wants to fight Uchiha Han in a life-and-death duel."
"Yes, it's him." Orochimaru nodded.
Jiraiya, who was most optimistic about Namikaze Minato, saw that the topic had all shifted to Naito, and he immediately showed an unhappy expression.
"So what if he comes here, he can't win over Namikaze Minato. Minato's talent is even stronger than Orochimaru's!"
"Hehehe..."
Listening to Jiraiya's words, Orochimaru showed a slightly evil smile. He did not get angry, but said calmly: "With the special blood inheritance limit, plus the ability to calm down in times of crisis and his extraordinary mind, I think that child , maybe he will be even better than Namikaze Minato in the future.”
When these words were spoken, everyone present was immediately taken aback.
Although most people don't believe that Naito is really better than a genius like Namikaze Minato, but from Orochimaru's confident words, Naito's talent should not be underestimated!
Even Sarutobi Hiruzen pondered for a moment.
Of course he had heard about Yu Ye.
Faced with a dead situation, he chose to fight Uchiha Han in a life-and-death duel to break the situation. He got three months, but no matter how he looked at it, it was still a dead end.
But if you think about it carefully, in that situation, Yu Ye should have made the most correct choice!
That child is indeed not simple.
Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes flickered.
If Naito really has that kind of talent, then such a good prospect cannot be destroyed in the hands of Uchiha.
In this case, let's take a look at his next performance!
Under the slightly expectant gaze of Sarutobi Hiruzen, Naito finally reached the home court and stopped quietly below to wait.
While waiting, Yu Ye was also quietly examining this home field for actual ranking assessments.
The home venue is much more formal than the off-site venue.
The entire home court is located in an examination room similar to the Chunin Examination in the original book.
At the top, Sarutobi Hiruzen was wearing the Hokage God's robe, sitting there quietly.
Behind and beside Sarutobi Hiruzen, there were three figures that Naito was very familiar with.
Looking up, Yu Ye's eyes flickered with a subtle light.
Orochimaru, Tsunade, Jiraiya!
Unexpectedly, the future Sannin of Konoha are all here.
But now it seems that the three ninjas are much younger than in the original work, and the three of them are all wearing official jounin uniforms.
Seeing so many familiar characters at once, Yu Ye's eyes also had a trace of excitement.
When Yu Ye looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen and others at the top, of course Sarutobi Hiruzen and others were also looking at him.
Sometimes, you can see a lot of things from a person's eyes.
Being too calm would arouse some suspicion, but Yu Ye showed a faint look like excitement in his calmness, which showed no mental flaws.
"The eyes are very nice."
Tsunade looked at Naito and then commented softly.
Coming here as the temporary first place, facing the Hokage and elite Jonin like them, he was able to remain so calm and suppress the excitement.
This is the mentality of a qualified ninja.
Sarutobi Hiruzen also nodded. Although Naito came from another village, he was very young at that time.
There is no need to question Naito's identity at all. In the eyes of Sarutobi Hiruzen, Naito is no different from other children born in Konoha.
In his opinion, Yu Ye had been unable to practice ninjutsu before, and his light was covered up. But now that he has awakened the blood successor limit, he has begun to shine with the light of a genius.
Just when everyone was looking at Naito, the second winner was finally born. This time there was no surprise, it was Namikaze Minato!
Arriving at the home court, Namikaze Minato also had a calm expression on his face.
Jiraiya, who was originally not very interested, became excited again.
"Look, Minato's eyes are the same! No matter how outstanding Naito is, he can't compare to Minato."
"Haha, let's wait and see."
Orochimaru had a slightly evil smile on his face, and then he leaned gently against the wall behind him and stopped talking.
