Sarutobi Hiruzen and Jiraiya were both shocked.
Because they saw that the winner who walked to the main venue first was not the same person!
But two people together!
What surprised them even more was that there was no Namikaze Minato among the two!
One of them was Hitomi Uchiha whom they had heard about, with shoulder-length black hair, heroic appearance, cold yet sharp eyes, and an aura that kept strangers away from him.
The other one is a young man with silver-white hair.
Clean and neat broken hair, dark eyes like stars, three-dimensional sunny face, broad and strong shoulders and frame, and a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, which makes people feel like spring breeze.
Even if he stands with the genius girl of the Uchiha clan, the boy's temperament is not inferior at all!
The two were none other than Hitomi Uchiha and Masaru Kurono.
"No way, there is someone faster than Minato!"
Jiraiya was the first to exclaim, with a look of disbelief on his face. It didn't matter that his favorite Namikaze Minato was not number one, not even number two!
How can this be? !
Tsunade on the side showed a slightly proud smile and said carelessly: "It seems that my vision is better, Jiraiya."
"Your vision?"
Jiraiya turned his head and looked at Tsunade in confusion.
Tsunade said in amusement: "Why, isn't it normal for my disciple to qualify before the one you like?"
"You...your disciple? When did you accept a disciple?"
Hearing this, Jiraiya was shocked. He had only returned to the village not long ago, and he didn't even know that Tsunade had accepted a disciple!
Orochimaru also smiled evilly and said: "It seems that there is more than one genius in this era, Minato Namikaze. Tsunade, your disciple is quite outstanding."
Tsunade's beautiful eyes shone with a strange light. In fact, even she didn't expect that her new disciple would not only be so good at medical ninjutsu, but also be so strong in actual combat.
But in this case, doesn't it mean that she, Tsunade Hime, has a unique vision?
Seeing the corners of Tsunade's mouth raised to the sky, and the topic shifting from Namikaze Minato to Kurono Masaru, this made Jiraiya, who was very optimistic about Namikaze Minato, a little unhappy.
"So what if your disciple comes to the home court first? He can't win against Namikaze Minato. Minato's talent is even stronger than Orochimaru's!"
You may not believe it, but Jiraiya, who was born as a commoner, has a talent-only concept in recruiting disciples.
Otherwise, if he was looking for Destiny's Son, why not Xiao Li or Tiantian?
On the contrary, after seeing Nagato's Rinnegan, he immediately thought of accepting a disciple. Later, he accepted Naruto as a disciple because of his talent that was visible to the naked eye.
Therefore, in his eyes, Namikaze Minato, who is more talented, will obviously be the final winner.
"hehe……"
When Jiraiya said to his face that his talent was not as good as that of a child, Orochimaru did not get angry. Instead, he showed an evil smile and said lightly:
"According to what you said, this kid named Kenno Katsu dared to face an Uchiha Chuunin when he was six years old, Jiraiya. If it were you who were six years old, I'm afraid ten of you wouldn't be enough to fight him, right? "
As soon as Orochimaru finished speaking, the expressions of everyone present changed.
The story of Kurono Katsu flying Uchiha Chuunin with one punch is widely circulated. Everyone here is well-informed, and they know that Kurono Katsu's talent should not be underestimated!
It's just that the opponent didn't have any achievements after that, and he kept a low profile, unlike Namikaze Minato who was not in the limelight.
Sarutobi Hiruzen pondered for a moment, his eyes flickering. He suddenly remembered that the name Kurono Masaru... wasn't it the owner of the perfect score sheet last night?
The two are actually the same person!
In an instant, Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes changed when he looked at Kurono Katsu, becoming softer and full of appreciation!
This young man who inherited the will of fire and is full of talents is my favorite, Hiruzen Sarutobi!
[Ding dong! 】
[Get the recognition of the top civilian ninja Sarutobi Hiruzen, civilian value +2! 】
Kurono Katsu, who was quietly sizing up the main venue, was slightly startled, and then met the appreciative eyes of Sarutobi Hiruzen, and immediately pretended to be excited.
But he was thinking in his mind: "Can Sarutobi Hiruzen's recognition also gain civilian points? Yes, strictly speaking, the other party is also a civilian ninja, and there is no blood inheritance limit. It seems that he has officially entered the vision of Konoha's top brass. ...I just don’t know, if I get the deep recognition of the Sandaime Hokage, what kind of talents will I get?"
The main venue is much larger and more formal than the minor venue.
The layout of the entire home court is similar to that of the Chunin Examination in the original book.
At the top, Sarutobi Hiruzen was wearing the Hokage God's robe, sitting condescendingly, with a vast field of vision, and he could clearly see the field below.
Beside and behind Sarutobi Hiruzen were three famous figures.
Orochimaru, Jiraiya, Tsunade!
The three Konoha ninjas gathered together.
[They are all familiar original characters...]
When Kurono Masaru looked at these familiar plot characters, Sarutobi Hiruzen and others were also looking at these winning children.
Compared to the uncontrollable excitement of other students, Xuanye Sheng was neither humble nor arrogant, with a calm expression and a slight hint of confidence in his eyes.
"Nice eyes, you are worthy of being my disciple."
Tsunade commented with satisfaction, quite suspicious of Wang Po's self-promotion.
But she was right. Kurono Katsu was able to enter the main venue with Hitomi Uchiha tied for first place, and he was still able to maintain his composure in the face of the Hokage and a group of elite jounin.
That's a pretty good pass on ninja mentality.
Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but nod. After confirming that Kurono Katsu was the student with perfect scores, his status in Sarutobi Hiruzen's heart immediately improved a lot.
He recalled the information collected by the Anbu before and knew that Xuanye Sheng's parents died on the battlefield.
After the hero...
He is an orphan...
The evocative Will of Fire...
Excellent ninja talent...
This child will definitely belong to my Hokage line! I said!
Just when everyone was looking at Kurono Katsu and Uchiha Hitomi, a new winner was born, it was Namikaze Minato!
Namikaze Minato, who had blond hair and showed a composure that did not suit his age at a young age, walked into the home court with an indifferent expression.
As soon as he saw Namikaze Minato arriving, Jiraiya, who was originally a little uninterested, immediately became excited.
"Look! Minato wins too, and I saw him right! Just wait and see, no matter how good that kid named Kurono Masaru is, he will never be Minato's opponent!"
Between words, it seemed that Namikaze Minato had been declared the final winner.
Tsunade curled her lips and said devilishly: "If you relied on your words, Jiraiya, you must have been the first in the competition during the ninja school. Let us wait and see the final result!"
Orochimaru, on the other hand, leaned against the wall behind him, making no sound, and sat watching the fight with interest.
