When all the facilities needed for the martial arts competition were completed, Mu Yue announced the news of Hanzo's spectatorship and various matters concerning the Youth Martial Arts Competition.
The Youth Martial Arts Competition has gone through many rounds of publicity, and those who are interested have been waiting for specific information about the competition. Once the news is released, those who want to participate in the competition or watch the competition rush to the Rain Country.
In addition to the genius in Konoha who was actively asked by Sarutobi Hiruzen about his intention, there were also some young ninjas who wanted to participate in the martial arts tournament to broaden their horizons.
After all, the registration fee is only 68,900 taels, which is just a small amount of money for a ninja. Even if you don't get a ranking reward, you can still see the legendary ninja master Sosuke.
Thinking that leading one team or two teams is the same, Sarutobi Hiruzen gathered other ninjas who wanted to participate and let Mu Yue lead the team to the Rain Country.
"Your ninja level is rising so fast. Even Shisui has become a jonin." Asuma, who is still a chunin, couldn't help but sigh.
When he graduated, Shisui was also enrolled. As a result, Shisui was promoted to jonin while he was only chunin. This promotion speed was really outrageous.
"Hey, let me tell you the secret of our promotion." Obito said with a laugh.
Asuma instantly became interested, and Yuhi Kurenai also turned her ear towards Obito in the same way.
"First, defeat the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, and then complete some S-rank tasks." Obito replied.
Asuma Squad: ...
If they met the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Ninja Swordsmen and were promoted to Jonin, they would be wiped out. And now there are no Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the ...
Since Kirigakure showed no intention of making peace, Konoha certainly couldn't return the ninja swords. In order to prevent Kirigakure from using special means to retrieve them, the seized ninja swords were even kept sealed.
Without ninja swords, there can be no new members, so Kirigakure may only have two people for a long time, unless Kirigakure is willing to forge new ninja swords.
"The secret is good, but it's a bit useless." Asuma couldn't help but pat Obito on the back.
"But if you guys participate, the rewards may all be taken by us in Konoha. I don't know if the people of the Ninja Clan will mind."
Asuma knew how perverted Obito and the others were. He had been training so hard, but the gap between them was getting bigger and bigger.
When they participated in special training together, Obito was only slightly better than him, but by the time of the Chunin Exam, Obito was able to crush him.
Although Asuma has never seen Obito take action, the fact that he assisted Kakashi in killing the Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Demon in the battle between the Seven Ninja Swordsmen is enough to prove his strength.
"As long as we're not unlucky enough to meet our own people, we will definitely rank high." Obito said confidently.
Various missions and experiences on the battlefield gave Obito enough confidence.
"Don't underestimate other ninjas in the ninja world. The restriction of the Youth Martial Arts Tournament is that you can't participate unless you are over 18 years old, not 12 or 11 years old," Kakashi reminded.
Although Kakashi is not conceited, he will not belittle himself. He never denies that he is a genius among ninjas.
But Kakashi didn't think he could kill everyone except Mu Yue's disciples at the Youth Martial Arts Conference, because he was too young, only eleven years old.
Other contestants may not be as talented as him, but they have practiced for seven years longer than him, so it is hard to say who is stronger or weaker.
"Kakashi, do you have any relevant information?" Obito asked curiously.
Obito also knew about their age, so he didn't say too much. He just said they were ranked high, but didn't say anything about definitely taking the top two or top four.
"A little, but not much," Kakashi replied, shaking his head.
There are very few ninjas who can become famous in the ninja world at the age of eighteen, and the last batch of ninjas who became famous at the age of eighteen were already over eighteen years old, such as Minato Namikaze.
"So you didn't know either, but you're acting like you know a lot." Obito complained.
He couldn't stand Kakashi's comparison the most, especially in front of Nohara Lin.
Kakashi laughed and said nothing.
Since the Ninja Clan's headquarters was not particularly far from Konoha, Mu Yue chose a later departure time.
When Mu Yue led the team to Liudao City, it was already very lively. There were many ninjas on the streets, wearing forehead protectors of various shapes.
However, the ninjas who came here all had their own purposes. Only a few idiots would cause trouble, but they were dealt with quickly by the ninjas of the Ninja Clan, so it seemed quite harmonious.
"There are so many people, and some are ninjas from the enemy village." Obito exclaimed.
It was the first time for him to see so many ninjas from different ninja villages at the same time, and at a glance he saw many different forehead protectors.
In terms of numbers, the ninjas in the ninja troop are more numerous and more spectacular than here, but the ninja troop all have a forehead protector, which is a different scene.
"It shows that the Shinobi clan is quite capable," Kakashi commented.
Given the current situation in the ninja world, it is not an easy task to keep so many ninja villages calm and not fight.
Even if there are only one or two teams of ninjas, it is normal for collisions to occur.
After arranging accommodation, Kakashi and others formed a team to register.
The Ninja Clan did a good job in guiding Kakashi and his friends to the registration office, and they were able to find the registration office for the Youth Martial Arts Tournament easily.
However, looking at the crowd gathered together, Kakashi felt that he could easily find it without any guidance. There were too many people gathered here, not only the contestants who wanted to register, but also the contestants' accompanying personnel.
"It's Hoshigaki Kamon from the Hidden Mist." Might Guy saw a Hidden Mist ninja in the crowd who he had a slight impression of.
Hoshigaki Kamon once forced Kakashi and others into a desperate situation during the Death Forest section of the Chunin Exams, and since he had introduced himself, Might Guy remembered him.
"Are you talking about Hoshigaki Kisame?" Kakashi was stunned by Might Guy's call of Hoshigaki Kisame. After careful recollection, he remembered his real name.
"Ah, isn't it Hoshigaki Kamon? I should be remembering it correctly. I remember we exchanged a few words during the third exam." Might Guy recalled again and felt that he was not wrong.
Might Guy's confidence made Kakashi a little unsure. Could it be that he remembered the name wrong?
"The Kirigakure ninjas are also here to participate in the competition. We'll beat them hard again like we're on a battlefield." Obito saw the Kirigakure ninja who had beaten him once in the Chunin Exam.
Although he had already completed his revenge in the third round of the Chunin Exam, winning again would further prove his strength.
"Such strong chakra, which ninja village is this ninja from?" Kakashi, who had opened the transparent world, suddenly sensed a powerful chakra.
He just thought that since so many players gathered here, there might be strong opponents. He didn't expect that when he opened the transparent world, he actually encountered unfamiliar masters.
Kakashi calmly changed his position to close the transparent world, but found that the ninja with powerful chakra did not have a forehead protector on his head.
"He didn't bring a forehead protector or he's not a ninja from the ninja village?" Kakashi speculated.
It's not that there aren't strong ninjas in non-ninja villages, but they are too rare. If there's one under 18 years old, it's even rarer.
"Thunder Yag Kakashi, Green Beast Might Guy, Instant Body Shisui, the geniuses of Konoha are all here." A ninja noticed the arrival of Kakashi and others.
Although Kakashi and his friends are not yet famous throughout the ninja world, they still have a certain fame in several surrounding countries.
Obito looked around for the person who spoke. He called Kakashi and the others but didn't call him. They must look down on him, right?
Unfortunately, there were so many ninjas here, and many of them were chatting. Obito searched hard but couldn't find who was talking.
When Mei Terumi, Mangetsu Hozuki and the others heard these familiar names, they looked back.
"It's really them. The competitive pressure is so great." Mei Terumi frowned slightly.
Except for Obito, Terumi and Mei, who were restrained by her and could only fight Kakashi, Might Guy and Shisui, Terumi felt that she was bound to lose.
"Might Guy." Hoshigaki Kisame stared at Might Guy.
Hoshigaki Kisame still can't forget the crushing defeat he received from Might Guy in the Chunin Exam.
"Are those Konoha geniuses who once defeated the Seven Ninja Swordsmen?" Manzuki Hozuki showed an interested look.
He thought that if Kirigakure still had ninja swords now, he could directly become one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, so he regarded Obito and the others as people of the same level.
"It's Maki from the Sand Village."
At this time, a ninja from a small ninja village recognized the Sand Village who had just arrived in the Sand Village team.
"There are so many talented ninjas from the big ninja villages." Some ninjas from the small ninja villages began to think about retreating.
Originally, I thought that during the war, maybe not many people would participate and wanted to take advantage of the situation, but after thinking about it carefully, I realized that sending a few young ninja teams would not be able to affect the situation.
Although they were not planning to participate in the competition, the ninjas who were not participating were prepared to watch the competition before leaving, thinking that since they were already here, they were ready to watch it.
…
On June 25th, the preliminaries for the Youth Martial Arts Tournament began.
Spectators are not allowed to watch the qualifying matches. For spectators, the knockout rounds after the qualifying matches are the official start of the competition.
Since the number of participating ninjas exceeded two hundred, Mu Yue divided the participating ninjas into eight divisions. Each division had four places in the knockout round. The qualifying contestants fought through rounds until only four contestants were left.
After drawing the lots, Obito and the others gathered together to communicate.
"I'm number one in the second division, what about you?" Obito raised the number in his hand and spoke first.
"Number 15 in the eighth division!" Might Guy smiled with his shining white teeth.
The others all breathed a sigh of relief. If they were in the same division as Might Guy, it would have been a bit of a matter of luck.
"I'm number one in the first division," Kakashi continued.
"I'm number ten from the fifth division," Shisui said.
"I'm in the fourth division, and everyone is in a different division." Nohara Lin said with a smile.
According to the competition system of the Youth Martial Arts Tournament, it is a good thing to be in different divisions. Otherwise, if they meet in the first game in the same division, one of them will not be able to enter the knockout round.
However, Nohara Lin's worries were unnecessary because the division of the competition areas was manually arranged by Mu Yue.
The purpose of the preliminaries is to ensure the excitement of the knockout rounds. Mu Yue will separate the stronger ninjas, so as to ensure that the geniuses will not fail to enter the knockout rounds due to luck.
"Kakashi, Obito, hurry up and go to the second division's battle field. You are all in the first match." Nohara Rin reminded gently.
The competitions in the eight divisions are conducted simultaneously, rather than one division finishing first and then the competitions proceeding in sequence.
"Well, Xiaolin, you have to cheer up. When you fight, I will come over to cheer you up." Obito encouraged Nohara Rin before leaving.
"Obito, you too, never underestimate your opponent. Even if the ninja is not as strong as you, you must give it your all." Nohara Rin nodded and said seriously.
"After the battle, you can collect information about other ninjas." After leaving these words, Kakashi left for the battle field of the first division.
Because Kakashi was quick, he stood there for a while before the game started.
"In the first round, contestant number one, Kakashi Hatake, will face contestant number two, Daisuke Kamioka." The referee glanced at the list in his hand and read out quickly.
Whoosh!
Kakashi used the instant body technique to reach the battlefield after hearing his name.
When Daisuke Kamioka heard that his opponent was Raiga Kakashi, he was stunned for a moment. It was only after the referee read out his name for the second time that he walked to the battle arena with a panicked look on his face.
"What a lousy draw that makes me have to fight against Raiga." Kamioka Daisuke cursed in his heart.
"The battle begins!" the referee shouted after seeing that all the contestants were ready.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!
Daisuke Kamioka quickly took out the shuriken from his ninja tool bag and threw it at Kakashi.
Although Raiga Kakashi has a record of killing the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, since they are already standing on the battlefield, it is impossible for Ueka Daisuke to just give in.
Dangdang!
Kakashi chopped off all the shurikens with his white fangs, and then concentrated his breathing and burst out at an extremely fast speed.
Ueka Daisuke only felt Kakashi suddenly accelerate, and before he could make any further moves, the next moment the White Fang short blade was against his neck.
"The gap is so huge..." Kamioka Daisuke stared at the scene with his eyes wide open in disbelief.
He knew he couldn't beat Kakashi, but he didn't expect to lose just by throwing a shuriken. He originally thought that he would have to fight for at least two or three rounds.
"Number one Hatake Kakashi wins." The referee immediately announced Kakashi the winner.
Kakashi put away his sword and walked out of the battlefield. He first entered the transparent world state and took a look at the ninjas in the first zone. After finding no ninjas worth recording, he left for the second zone.
"Number One Uchiha Obito wins."
As soon as Kakashi walked to the second competition area, he heard the referee announce that Obito won.
Having won the battle, Obito happily left the battlefield and just happened to see Kakashi approaching.
The smile on Obito's face faded a little instantly. He was just thinking about winning the game and going to Kakashi to "cheer" for Kakashi, but it turned out that Kakashi was faster.
"I'm going to take a look at the third, sixth and seventh divisions. Would you like to come with me?" Kakashi invited.
These competition areas are where Mu Yue's disciples are not present. Kakashi wants to go over and observe to see if there are any ninjas worthy of attention.
In fact, there is no need to observe too much in the competition area where disciples are present. You can get the information by exchanging ideas with each other at night.
"No, I want to go to the fourth division." Obito refused.
Kakashi felt that the Second Division might have to be observed occasionally, as it didn't look like Obito was capable of gathering intelligence the way he was.
"That Mist Ninja." When Kakashi walked to the third division, he saw Mangetsu Kizuna fighting.
Kakashi stopped and prepared to watch Mangetsu's performance. Mangetsu's chakra was also not weak.
"Get down!" The ninja dressed as Iwagakure swung his sword and stabbed at Mangetsu.
However, Mangetsu Kizuki did not dodge or evade, but just stood there smiling at the rushing Iwagakure, allowing him to pierce his body with the sharp sword.
"Turned into water?" The Iwagakure ninja was surprised to find that Mangetsu Kizuki had turned into a water man.
The Iwagakure ninja quickly pulled out the sword, and the place where Mangetsu Kizuki had just been stabbed quickly recovered, as if nothing had happened.
The Iwagakure ninja didn't believe in evil and wanted to continue to chop Mangetsu. At this time, Mangetsu pointed his hand like a pistol at the Iwagakure ninja.
"Water Cannon Technique!"
Bang!
A stream of liquid shot out like a bullet and knocked the Iwagakure ninja to the ground.
"Mangetsu wins!"
After leaving the battlefield, Mangetsu noticed Kakashi. In the Youth Martial Arts Conference, there were only a few ninjas with the same body shape as Kakashi, and with his sparse white hair, he was easy to spot.
"You seem to be a disciple of Lieyang Muyue?" Man Yue Kizuna asked Kakashi.
"That's right." Kakashi nodded in agreement.
Kakashi was proud of being Mu Yue's disciple, so there was no need to lie.
"Then you're not mistaken. Don't lose before the knockout round, Kakashi Hatake." Mangetsu said provocatively.
Kakashi had a calm expression. One of Kirigakure's Jinchuriki had been killed by Konoha, so it was normal for the Kirigakure ninjas to hate him.
And if Kakashi remembered correctly, Mu Yue killed a strong man named Kizuna Zangetsu on the battlefield on the east coast. Maybe he has some relationship with Kizuna Mangetsu.
"You must be very confused in your heart. I'm not a stingy person. I'll just tell you straight, Gui Deng Cang Yue is my uncle." Gui Deng Man Yue answered with emotion.
"Although we haven't met very often, he is indeed my uncle."
Kakashi was a little speechless. Why was he confused? This Mangetsu Kizuki looked like a normal person, but his actual performance was similar to Obito's.
Kakashi, who was annoyed, didn't say anything else and quickly rushed to the sixth division.
"Contestant number three, Sand Crab, versus contestant number four, Ueda Hisashi!"
The first battle in the Sixth Division was a little slower, as Kakashi had only reached the second game of the first round when he arrived at the Sixth Division.
"So his name is Sand Crab." Kakashi stopped and prepared to watch the game.
This ninja named Sand Crab was the ninja he had noticed before when using the Transparent World, and he had powerful chakra in his body.
"The battle begins!"
As soon as the referee finished speaking, Ueda Hisashi took action, drew his sword and rushed towards his opponent.
Facing the attack from Ueda Nao, Sand Crab calmly took out a kunai to deal with it.
Due to the huge gap in strength, Ueda Hisashi was quickly caught by the sand crab and kicked to the ground.
Just when Ueda Hisashi wanted to get up quickly and continue fighting, he was suddenly surprised to find that his body moved on its own.
"What's going on!" Yu Tian Shang was shocked and watched himself stabbing the knife into his abdomen.
The other players watching the game were also surprised, wondering why Ueda Hisashi suddenly started to hurt himself.
"Sand crab wins!" In order to prevent any accidents to the players, the referee directly announced the end of the fight.
The moment the referee shouted, Ueda Hisashi realized that he had regained control of his body, so he quickly pulled out the knife and covered the wound.
"Chakra lines, could it be a puppeteer?" Kakashi, who entered the state of transparent world, observed that after Ueda fell to the ground, several thin lines touched Ueda's body.
If we talk about the ninja who plays with chakra lines the best and most skillfully, it is undoubtedly the puppeteer of Sunagakure.
A powerful puppeteer can control multiple puppets to attack, making it difficult to resist.
Kakashi was a little unsure because the ninja named Sand Crab was not wearing a Sand Village forehead protector.
The Youth Martial Arts Tournament is extremely popular, with a large number of ninja villages participating. Victory in the Youth Martial Arts Tournament is good for the ninja village and may attract commissions, so there is no reason for the ninjas of the ninja village not to wear forehead protectors.
"I have to watch it again after the second round of fighting is over." Kakashi thought to himself.
With the current trend, if he can deal with the enemies faster, he should be able to reach the sixth zone before the sand crab battle begins.
Kakashi then went to the seventh division.
It wouldn't matter if he didn't go, but Kakashi would be scared once he went.
"What a terrifying chakra." When Kakashi used the transparent world to observe Nagato's chakra, he was instantly shocked.
Nagato's chakra is not a question of how much he has. Except for the Jinchūriki, Kakashi has never seen any other ninja with such strong chakra.
Kakashi felt that he should use a different adjective, because among all the ninjas he had sensed, there was no one as perverted as Nagato.
Because there are so many strong people in Konoha, and Kakashi is not a voyeur, he will not use the transparent world to see every person he sees.
"He's a member of the Akatsuki organization." Kakashi looked at Nagato and gradually recalled some memories.
Kakashi had a deep impression of Akatsuki, because according to Naruto, Akatsuki was a terrorist organization that snatched the tailed beasts. However, after investigating in the Rain Country, they found that the current Akatsuki was not only not terrifying, but also full of positive energy.
"Number 19 Nagato versus number 20 Kurosawa."
Kakashi looked at the battle field seriously. Kurosawa was from the Kirigakure whom he met during the Chunin Exam. Although he was not as good as Hoshigaki Kisame and Mei Terumi, he was still pretty good.
"Water Style: Mist Hidden Technique!"
As soon as Kurosawa came on the field, he retreated quickly, and then sprayed out thick mist that covered the entire battle field.
"Wind Style: Suppress!"
Nagato calmly formed seals and spit out a high-pressure wind ball.
Whoosh!
The wind ball turned into a huge storm the moment it landed, and the thick fog that Kurosawa had vomited was blown away by the powerful storm in the blink of an eye.
However, the power of oppression does not stop there.
Powerful high-pressure wind blocks raged in the venue, blowing the ground apart. Kurosawa had not expected Nagato to use such a terrifying ninjutsu. He was hit by the high-pressure wind block and instantly vomited blood and flew backwards.
Kakashi: ...
I beat them pretty hard during the Chunin Exams, but how come they are so lame now and were killed instantly with just one move?
"The ninjutsu is very powerful, but if it's just at this level, I can still deal with it." Kakashi deduced in his mind.
Compared to Nagato's exaggerated chakra, Nagato's ninjutsu level did not actually impress Kakashi.
Obito and Shisui's Fire Style, Kakashi's own Lightning Style, they can all achieve this level, and they can even be stronger under the breathing method chakra state.
"Come and take a look during the second round." Kakashi planned to stay in the sixth and seventh zones except for his own zone today to study Nagato and the sand crab.
It's hard to say because Sand Crab has shown too little so far, but Nagato's chakra and wind jutsu alone should not be underestimated.
