Land of Fire In the northern territory, accompanied by the sound of "wuwu" wind, a group of people were walking quickly, most of them were young people.
Their goal is the neutral country Land of Waterfalls, and there, an exchange specially prepared for the new generation of Shinobi World masters born after First Shinobi World War is being held... or a competition!
First Shinobi World War, the number of people participating in the war was the highest ever, but the damage to the ninja armies of various countries was the highest ever. Almost all the early strong clans of the ninja village were completely crippled, and it took a full twenty years for the ninja armies of all countries to recover.
For twenty years, this has been a life-threatening situation for the ninjas who have always made real-person PK their profession and lifelong hobby, so a grand event was born.
Its name is called the Shinobi World Conference, and its importance is no less than that of the Five Great Shadows Meeting. In fact, at all previous conferences, Five Great Shinobi Villages and Five Kage will definitely be present unless there are special circumstances.
The name is very simple, but the content is very substantial. In order to best understand the level of each ninja village and conduct so-called "military transparency" before having the ability to fight the next war, the Five Great Shadows of the year contacted all the ninja villages to come up with such a thing.
Through the competition of the next generation of elites, while understanding each other, they can also be understood and scrupled by each other, and ultimately achieve the purpose of checks and balances.
In this world, there is definitely nothing more worrying than the vigorous new generation. Of course, at the venue of the conference, there is naturally no place more reassuring than the neutral Takigakure. Likewise, Takigakure is also happy to use this method to announce its permanent neutral position to all Shinobi World...
The winner of the first conference was not Konoha, but Kirigakure. That time Kirigakure directly sent out the next generation successors of Qida. These seven people swept the entire conference and completed the first complete victory record.
But the second time, Konoha Village unexpectedly only sent four people to play. When everyone thought that Konoha was going to lose the game decently this time, these four young people let everyone know what monsters are. They took turns on the field and easily defeated all their opponents. Not only did they become the makers of the second record, but they also refreshed the former. Until now, this record still stands.
These four people were later White Fang, Sannin, and Second Shinobi World War. They used their own performance to prove that it was natural for them to win that year...
But since then, Konoha has never had such a brilliant record. Although the results are good, there is no such thing as the ability of just a few people to defeat the whole game. There are wins and losses, relying on the overall strength of the team to fight to the end.
The team now appearing in the northern territory of Land of Fire is the Konoha representative team participating in the conference.
However, the representative team is a representative team, which does not mean that everyone is a participant. Therefore, the size of this team is not large and the number of people is huge.
As the leader, according to the convention, Third Hokage should have taken the initiative in person. However, due to the upcoming election of Fourth Hokage and "certain things", the old man had to be absent this time. As a replacement, he was another senior Senju Clan, Mitokado Homura, one of the two major consultants.
The second part of the staff are the high-level ninjas sent by Konoha Village to protect their contestants this time. These people are all regular jounin, and there are even several elite jounin. Konoha is the village with the most jonin in the first place, and the contestants are the reserve of future jounin elites. It is not surprising to send such a lineup. Five Great Shinobi Villages basically has this configuration.
Surrounded in the middle, that is, the third team members, are the contestants this time, Qi, Kakashi, and Obito. As the strongest representatives of the new generation of Konoha, they will naturally not be absent. In addition, there are many others. Although they are far inferior to these three people, they are also newcomers who have outstanding performance in the war.
Of course, they may not all participate. The specific participants will only be announced before the competition, while others will become bystanders. In such a conference, even as bystanders, they can gain a lot.
It is actually not an exaggeration to describe a ninja as running fast. Once a ninja gathers enough energy to drive, it basically reaches the standard speed of a train. In less than a day, this group of people had left Land of Fire, entered Land of Waterfalls, and stopped outside Takigakure, which is famous for its neutrality.
It's impossible not to stop, because without Waterfall Ninja's guidance, no one can pass this thing - a giant waterfall that is almost invisible from left to right, and it is difficult to reach the top if you look up, and even harder to see the bottom if you lower your head! And Takigakure used this waterfall to directly operate a natural defense system that is full of dangers and death.
Among the three second-class strong villages, Kusagakure is famous for its intelligence collection and analysis capabilities, Amegakure is famous for its assassination skills, and Takigakure is famous for its defense ability that is almost equivalent to cheating. This is also the capital of its neutrality. Unless it is a last resort, no one is willing to chew on this super turtle shell.
The combination of the super strong defense power brought by the unique terrain and the strategic location that is not too sensitive compared to other countries has made Takigakure's dream of neutrality a reality.
"What a huge waterfall!"
Raising his head, Qi looked at this giant waterfall that was the foundation of Takigakure's peace and was filled with admiration.
The deafening and uninterrupted roars coming from all directions, as well as the large area of water vapor rushing towards the face, make people feel the magic of the Creator. This natural artistic picture generated by the power of creation is far beyond what human civilization can achieve. It is not possible in the world of Hokage, even on the earth in his previous life.
"Someone is coming!"
A jonin of the Uchiha Clan glanced at the other side and said loudly to Homura,
"Looking at his attire, he is Waterfall Ninja. He should be the receptionist for Takigakure."
He couldn't have been louder. It's so loud here that you can't hear anyone's words at all.
"Hmm."
Homura nodded and followed the gaze of the Uchiha jounin.
Soon, black spots climbed up from around the cliff where everyone was standing. In the blink of an eye, they were already on the ground. One of them bowed to Homura.
"Everyone from Konoha, welcome to Takigakure. When entering the village, please strictly abide by our rules. This is also for your own safety."
In this sentence, he was extremely serious,
"The waterfall is the foundation of our village's defense system. Every year, the positions of defense mechanisms and safety passages will change. Once someone acts randomly, even we cannot guarantee his life safety 100%."
