With a sigh, Onoki turned to look at Deidara, whose eyes were sparkling.
“So handsome!!”
"So handsome!"
"It would be even cooler if it exploded!!"
"Hey! Old man! Do I have fire-style chakra?! I want to add fire-style chakra to my Explosion Release!"
"I can definitely do it!!"
Looking at Deidara's determined gaze, Onoki was still quite pleased.
He certainly wouldn't compare Deidara to Uchiha Kagami; he had also met with young people from Konoha in the past few days.
Even disregarding numbers, Deidara alone can still rival them.
Uchiha Kagami... you might as well get even stronger, so strong that the ninja world becomes meaningless to you.
You shouldn't have appeared in the ninja world.
The enormous fire dragon circled several times before charging towards the Forest of Death.
Swish swish swish swish!!
Four enormous black rods were planted at the four corners of the forest outside Konoha, raising a crimson barrier that reached the clouds and covered a vast area, including the Forest of Death.
The fire dragon pounced on the crimson barrier, transforming into long, continuous lines of fire that wrapped around the barrier layer by layer.
Flame Flow - Four Red Yang Formation.
Uchiha Kagami's voice echoed through the air.
"From this point onwards, the period is three days."
"A maximum of ninety people will participate in the second round. If more than ninety people finish on the third day, I will randomly eliminate them."
The original plan of thirty-two teams has been reduced due to the large number of ninjas gathering, making it no longer suitable.
But that's okay, rules can be changed at any time.
"So……"
"Ninja World Martial Arts Tournament".
Chapter 134 Kaguya Kimimaro
Within the crimson sky.
"Based on the items you gave me before, the Akatsuki organization should be located 6,000 meters directly ahead."
A black and white wolfhound wearing a ninja vest made a sound, standing upright like a human, and was about two meters tall.
He handed the frog wallet from its claws back to Sakumo Hatake.
"Yes, thank you, Jack."
Led by Sakumo Hatake, the team consists of Kakashi, Might Guy, Asuma, Kurenai Yuhi, Yamato, and Kabuto Yakushi, forming a seven-member squad called "Inu-ga".
Oh, and we also have to count ninja dog Jack and ninja dog Puck.
The Inuzuka family of Konoha is famous for keeping dogs, and the Hatake family also has a contract with the ninja dog clan.
Jack the wolfhound possesses an exceptionally long-range sense of smell and is also a formidable fighter.
Compared to him, Parker's combat strength is negligible, but his perception at short to medium range is more detailed.
It can even pinpoint the number and movement speed of enemies.
"Father...we've just come in and we're already going to find the Akatsuki?" Kakashi was somewhat taken aback.
He and Kai were the ones who knew the organization best, and they visited them about once a year.
Each time, they would be chased out by Senior Sister Konan and a few others, or Pain himself would have to come.
It's no secret that the Rinnegan can control corpses; each Rinnegan clone possesses unique abilities.
Including Nagato, the user of the Rinnegan, as well as Jiraiya and Konan...
Kakashi even thought that this lineup could rival the First Hokage.
"When you're on a mission, call me Captain!" Sakumo Hatake coldly reprimanded.
He turned and spoke to the crowd in a deep voice.
"Let me make it clear, this is not a game for us."
“I am absolutely certain that when the number of people exceeds the designated number, the Mirror will randomly eliminate any one of us.”
"This is our own choice, with a very high probability of death. If you want to withdraw... I can ask Jing to let you withdraw from the competition now."
"As a price, you'll never be ninjas again!"
"As a ninja, how could I possibly desert my post in the face of battle?!"
"That's so un-youthful, Captain!!"
Kai raised his arms high, sobbing uncontrollably, "This is the perfect stage for youth! How could we possibly back down?!"
“Yes! This is our own choice!” Asuma stubbed out his cigarette, his eyes resolute.
As he watched each person express their opinion, Sakumo Hatake's serious face suddenly fell.
"Haha, I was just kidding. I wouldn't dare go to Jing and tell her I'm withdrawing from the competition."
"I have confirmed your resolve to become ninjas, so let me teach you something..."
Sakumo Hatake's expression turned serious again.
"This is a lesson I've learned over the years of traveling."
"As ninjas, there are times when we must face difficulties and confront them, but..."
"Sometimes, escaping is not shameful, but rather very useful."
Sakumo Hatake pointed to the side with two fingers: "We'll avoid the Akatsuki and prioritize targeting people from other villages."
Judging from what was said earlier, Kai was planning to open the Seventh Gate and confront the Akatsuki.
Sakumo Hatake smiled, his slightly wrinkled eyes crinkling.
"Companions are the most important."
"I will protect you, don't worry."
You are the future of the village, and it is up to you to carry on the spirit of our ancestors...
For Sakumo Hatake, participating in this martial arts exercise was completely meaningless.
He was originally a high-ranking and powerful figure, while Minato, who was in charge of the affairs of the Land of Fire, was more like a friend of Uchiha Kagami, and he was Kagami's retainer.
If he wants anything, Uchiha Kagami will not hesitate to give it to him as long as he asks.
However, he has realized that he is getting old and his growth in strength has stagnated.
Compared to the exceptionally talented Minato, even Konoha's Sakumo Hatake pales in comparison.
We need to cultivate outstanding successors to take over our positions.
Talk is cheap; Sakumo Hatake intends to lead by example.
They were even prepared to die during this martial arts exercise.
To be honest, his favorite candidate is Matt Kay.
Might Guy's personality and strength are well-suited to be the guardian of the Land of Fire, Ye Ying.
But there is a very serious problem...
Kai is a bit forgetful; he might forget people's names and faces if he doesn't see them often.
It's passable for an executor, but it's a fatal flaw for a leader.
When the competition began, the lower level of the Four Red Sun Formation opened in all directions, and everyone entered from different directions.
For the first half hour, fighting still occurred.
On the enormous screen in Konoha Square, thirty-six smaller arrays were used to monitor the events unfolding in the Forest of Death from all angles.
The ninja world has no shortage of surveillance equipment, but the ability to achieve this level of clarity is thanks to the technical support provided by the Third Hokage of Konoha, Hiruzen Sarutobi.
The art of telescopes is truly a complex and difficult technique to explain.
Near the Forest of Death, on the outer edge of the Four Red Sun Formation, grows a towering tree that overlooks the entire forest.
Two chairs were woven from the branches at the top of the tree, where Hashirama Senju and Kagami Uchiha sat.
Hashirama's expression still showed some disappointment.
The impure body didn't need to sleep, nor did it have a sense of taste. Since it was idle anyway, it gambled until dawn.
He gambled away all the money that Tobirama carried with him.
He originally intended to steal the bankbook, but Tobirama discovered him and beat him up.
Uchiha Kagami rested his chin on his hand and said calmly, "A group is approaching soon."
"Hashirama Senju, shall we take a gamble? How long will the first battle last?"
Hashirama Senju shook his head with a wry smile: "I don't want to gamble with other people's lives, that's not right."
"That's ridiculous. Does gambling with money make you more noble?"
"Is there any money in a ninja's hands that isn't stained with blood?"
Uchiha Kagami's lips curled into a smile, his voice cool and clear.
"The first of the three prohibitions of ninjas is money, right? For ninjas, only by proposing a bet like this can it not be considered a violation of the prohibition."
"Hashirama Senju, that's just how you are. You think you're noble, but you're actually foolish and ignorant."
"Stop cursing..."
"I know I'm ignorant... so... how about we take a gamble?"
"If I win, tell me when Madara is coming back, okay?"
A faint smile appeared on Uchiha Kagami's lips: "If I win, you'll do one thing for me."
"Anything is fine as long as it doesn't involve me hurting my friends!"
The first teams they encountered were the Star Village team from the Land of Bears and the Kirigakure team from the Land of Water.
"That headband... belongs to the Land of Water!"
The Third Hoshigakure leader was an old man in his nineties, followed by thirty or forty people, making them one of the teams with the largest number of participants.
"Heh...a bunch of nobodies taking up so many spots?"
Kakuzu sneered from the Kirigakure group.
Clearly, the footage had an effect; he and Sasori successfully infiltrated the Land of Water's forces.
A middle-aged man with light purple hair stepped out from beside the leader of the Star Ninja, his cold gaze sweeping over the people of the Land of Water.
"There are only a dozen or so people. You should be able to witness our Peacock Technique!"
"Akahoshi, step back!"
The old leader gave a reprimand and greeted the people of the Land of Water, saying, "I am the Third Hoshikage of Hoshigakure."
"Gentlemen, if a battle breaks out, even if we are no match for you, you will still suffer losses."
"How about we each withdraw and find other teams?"
"Where does this old man get his confidence from?"
Even Yagura Karatachi didn't dare to call himself the Mizukage, so how dare this old man call himself the Kage?
"Lord Mizukage, let me do it."
Behind Yagura was a beautiful woman with emerald green eyes and long, wavy, reddish-brown hair, but the voice did not come from her.
A white-haired boy with an expressionless face walked out from behind her, with two noticeable red dots between his eyebrows.
Kakuzu didn't look down on him because of his young age, his eyes narrowing slightly: "A brat from the Kaguya clan... With this level of chakra, you're going to die soon."
