"I won."
Kagami Uchiha said calmly.
Hashirama Senju leaned forward, clicking his tongue in amazement.
"I also thought that boy would win, but I didn't expect him to finish the fight in ten minutes."
"This gorgeous yet brutal fighting style... really does remind me a bit of Madara."
Kagami Uchiha glanced at him and shook his head speechlessly.
You two really can't stop talking about each other.
That's disgusting.
In the Death Forest.
Click...
Kimimaro broke off one of the damaged bones and threw it away, while retracting the other bones that had protruded from the flesh back into his body.
Before him lay a mass of corpses from the Hoshigakure.
As soon as he put on his coat, his body trembled violently, and he coughed up a mouthful of foul blood.
Mei Terumi quickly ran over and stroked his back, trying to ease his pain.
"Kimimaro, you really can't use your Kekkei Genkai anymore! You'll die!"
Wipe the blood from the corner of your mouth.
Kimimaro retreated behind Karatachi Yagura.
When Karatachi Yagura Land of Water recruit contestants, he took Kimimaro, who had been imprisoned by the Kaguya Clan, with him.
That's all.
It was just a tiny bit of light.
That was enough for Kimimaro to die for Karatachi Yagura.
The distortion of the Shinobi World has made many children who have suffered hardship willing to give everything for even the smallest bit of warmth.
Even someone like Danzo was seen as a savior by many Root orphans.
"I have a way to treat him."
Scorpion's eyes lit up.
Kimimaro's physical limitations hindered his growth, a relatively common phenomenon in the Shinobi World.
An excessively strong bloodline ability can lead to bloodline diseases.
Essentially, it's a weak body that can't withstand powerful forces.
All you need to do is change the body; Human Puppet don't have this problem!
If it breaks, just replace the parts.
He could even retain the Kekkei Genkai of the Third Kazekage, so the Shikotsumyaku wouldn't be a problem for him either.
"If your treatment plan involves turning Kimimaro into a puppet, then please refrain from speaking," Karatachi Yagura said calmly.
Kimimaro is a very useful weapon, but it is fragile.
If the scorpion "heals" me, this weapon will no longer belong to me.
Kakuzu's beady eyes darted about, but he ultimately remained silent.
Everyone could see that Kimimaro was doomed.
He wanted to bargain down the price to buy Kimimaro's heart, but after thinking about it, he decided against it.
Earth Grudge Fear is not incapable of seizing the Kekkei Genkai of ninjas; it's just that the current balance of the five elements is the best it can be.
If Kekkei Genkai ninjas are mixed in, the balance between attributes will be disrupted, and the combat power may actually decrease.
Moreover, that Shikotsumyaku stuff is like a virus, so it's best to avoid it.
Having experienced being repeatedly defeated, Kakuzu, who wasn't particularly ambitious about strength, began to think about how to improve himself.
The basic Earth Grudge Fear is already a very well-developed technique; its evolutionary direction...
Perhaps only the Yin-Yang Release Secret Technique can make me stronger...
His beady green eyes swept over the people of the Land of Water with ill intent.
I'm sorry, but I never keep my promises.
I want the money, and I want the reward too.
——
On the other side of the forest.
Naruto, Sasuke, and the others clung to Revolver's back, proceeding cautiously and wary of any disturbances around them.
Their team was the youngest of all the participants; the combined age of the five members was less than that of a single regular participant.
Corner.
The CatCar team encountered a group of people.
Both sides immediately tensed up.
"They're Konoha ninja!!"
"Those headbands... are they from Takigakure ..." Neji, with his solid theoretical knowledge, recognized the headbands of that group of people.
He immediately activated his Byakugan to check the amount of chakra in the person in front of him.
Fine...
Of the eight people opposite, only one had chakra at the Jonin level; the rest were mostly Genin.
It seems my father was right. Even in the entire Shinobi World, the number of Jonin is not large, unlike in the Uchiha Clan Compound where they are everywhere.
As the captain, Neji spoke in a low voice.
"Karin, Naruto, you two lead the charge, proceed with Plan A formation!"
Plan A is to give it a try, and Karin and Naruto, with their strong physiques, will go first and charge in.
Neji and Hinata wait for an opportunity to defeat them one by one, Sasuke prepares Ninjutsu and ninja tools for firepower support.
The Revolver is responsible for guard duty.
Plan B is that the opponent's chakra is too great to be defeated, so Revolver should quickly lead the others to escape.
There's also Plan C.
That is, in case there is a situation where one cannot escape and their identity is exposed.
There were three disciples of Kagami Uchiha, one of Kagami Uchiha's Summoning Beast, and two other core members of the Hyuga present.
Come on, give it a try.
Seeing Karin and Naruto rushing up with great enthusiasm, the leader of Takigakure quickly raised his hand and shouted.
"Wait! Everyone from Konoha!"
"We mean no harm!"
Naruto and Karin moved without stopping, like two little lions rushing into a flock of sheep.
There's no reason to stop just because the opponent tells you to.
Everyone participated in the competition, but only ninety spots were available for survival. There was simply no basis for a united front.
Kagami Uchiha's disciples were exposed to bloodshed when they were only five years old.
They wouldn't hesitate to attack anyone who wasn't from their own village.
"Damn it! The ninjas of Konoha are so rude!"
The leader of Takigakure roared angrily.
"Not only did they steal Fu, but now even these kids are so fierce!"
"Move them! Subdue them!"
"Watch out for that black-haired, black-eyed brat. He's wearing Uchiha clothing. Don't hurt him!"
They didn't even recognize the Byakugan, but the Uchiha clan crest was something they were very familiar with.
That day, a few men dressed similarly, with black hair and black eyes, easily kidnapped Fu.
Amidst the giant trees, figures jostled and created utter chaos.
BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!
Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!
With dozens of small Naruto, there was a large number of them, and they had a lot of chakra, so they could do whatever they wanted.
The compatibility between thick nerves and Multiple Shadow Clone is terrifyingly high.
The backlash from the explosion of his Shadow Clone was nothing to him; no one else would dare to play like that.
Karin was still young and hadn't learned many Ninjutsu. She wielded an Adamantine Chains, her small figure leaving a trail of red light.
Once someone Binding Vow by Karin's chains, several Naruto will swarm them and beat them unconscious.
As soon as they started fighting, two of the Takigakure members were taken down before they could react.
"These kids are no pushovers! Attack them all at once!!"
The leader of Takigakure was, after all, Jonin. With his participation in the battle, Karin and Naruto quickly paled in comparison.
Bang!
A small, fair hand knocked away a Takigakure who was about to attack Naruto, sending him crashing into a large tree!
This fierce force not only frightened the people of Takigakure, but even Naruto felt a chill.
"Hinata... Hinata... you're so strong..."
Hinata blushed and lowered her head shyly.
"There's a flaw!"
A Takigakure seized the opportunity and thrust Kunai at Hinata.
Call out!!
"Aaaaaah!!"
"Suiyan!!"
Two sharp arrows pierced the shoulder of the ninja named Suiyan, and he was pinned to the ground.
On the Revolver.
Sasuke and Neji, holding bows and arrows, exchanged a silent glance.
They all shared the same idea.
You little brat... you actually practiced archery behind my back...
"Wow! Sasuke-kun is so handsome!!" Karin cheered for her idol despite her busy schedule.
"Thank you, Neji- nii."
"Hinata, this is a battle, don't get distracted!" Neji shouted sternly.
"Etc!"
The leader of Takigakure exclaimed urgently, "Can't we talk first?!"
Suddenly, a blue light shone in front of him.
Naruto, holding a bright blue Rasengan, charged straight at his face.
"Let's talk after we defeat you!"
"Take this!"
"Rasengan!!"
