The match between Konoha and Sunagakure ended in such a dramatic way. The heavy fog that shrouded the arena came and went as quickly as it came. When the thick fog dissipated again, Yakushi Yu, on behalf of Sunagakure, announced his abstention, and Konoha successfully advanced.
To be honest, when everyone learned about this result, although the spectators were not very satisfied, the Waterfall Ninja referees were really relieved.
They are really afraid of Qi's Hidden Mist Technique...
Qi is not the only one who uses Hidden Mist Technique, Mist Ninja is used everywhere, but no one has ever died...
But as for Qi, he used it once before, and three of them died immediately. It was still an ending with no way to collect the bodies. Although the conference finally determined that it was manslaughter, Takigakure was so panicked...
A Amegakure's strength has become so asymmetrical that Qi can kill three of them. Now he has been replaced by Sunagakure Ninja. Judging from how good Sunagakure Ninja was before, they don't believe that Konoha will not fight to death...
The gratifying thing is that before they were ready to intervene, Hidden Mist Technique was lifted, followed by Sunagakure's forfeit, and no one died. Seeing this scene, the Waterfall Ninja referees almost rushed to hug Yakushi Yu and give them a kiss.
Finally, their hearts don't have to beat so hard...
In fact, after watching it for so long, everyone understands that if they don't fight hard, Konoha is definitely better in terms of strength. Sunagakure Ninja fought for half an hour until the tactics were broken, but he couldn't knock anyone down. From the perspective of competition, it was clear that he was going to lose.
So, when Sunagakure admitted defeat, they didn't even bother to ask nonsense like "Have you decided yet?" and simply announced the results, and then announced to everyone that today's competition was over, and that there would be another finals.
After hearing Takigakure's announcement, of course the nobles stood up immediately and left one after another. Only the ninjas remained where they were for the time being. They still had something to do. For example, the Konoha and Sunagakure delegations were still sitting there. In the stands, waiting for their contestants to return to the team, the Kirigakure delegation was summarizing and analyzing the strength of their tomorrow's opponents, the Konoha trio, and there were more. They just stayed to see if anything would happen next.
Of course, these have nothing to do with the ring. After the referee announced the result, Konoha and Sunagakure Ninja saluted each other and walked off the ring in opposite directions. Of course, as Yakushi Yu said before, the two groups also had different moods before leaving.
Sunagakure Ninja naturally has no pressure, but Konoha has much more to think about...
"What does the consumptive ghost mean?"
While coming down from the ring, Qi was thinking about why Yakushi Yu would have someone attack the Konoha delegation after the conference.
It's not that he doesn't have a sense of vigilance, but judging from the current situation, the probability of this happening is really too high...
The location of Land of Waterfalls is directly north of Land of Fire. The two countries are directly bordering each other. Judging from the territorial position of Five Great Nations, this is basically the back garden of Konoha Village. Who dares to attack the Konoha delegation here? Does he still want to live?
The current Konoha Village is not the miserable guy in the original work who had to compromise because his strength was severely damaged. As far as the grassroots soldiers are concerned, among the active ninjas in the village from Genin to jounin, who has never fought in a war? They all won World War II. The consequence is that once Konoha Ninja Army is provoked, its reaction can be almost considered extreme. The previous Yugakure is the best example. It was almost forced to be demolished by the Konoha Ninja Army.
As far as the master lineup is concerned, although White Fang and Tsunade are no longer here, Orochimaru, Jiraiya, Minato, etc. are all in the village now. They have been well treated in the house. Even the masters of their generation, the third generation, are not very old at their current age. If such a group of perverts want to be dragged out to beat people, they simply do not regard their enemies as human beings. How inconsiderate do they have to be to provoke the current Konoha Village?
Wait...Orochimaru...
He suddenly remembered something, that is, the time when Konoha lost Sannin in the original work seemed to be much earlier than in reality. If he thought about it in another direction, wouldn't it mean that Orochimaru's rebellion should have happened now, no matter how much it was delayed?
"No way..."
When he finally thought of this, his heart suddenly went cold...
Since coming to Konoha, he has been estimating the ups and downs of Konoha's strength based on the reference information provided in the original work. If Konoha's master level was in a sound state before Third Shinobi World War broke out, then with the death of White Fang Starting from the beginning, Konoha broke out from Third Shinobi World War to Uchiha Clan Massacre. It was the process in which this group of masters who originally ranked first in Shinobi World continued to collapse and disappear, and finally almost fell to the bottom. Among them, the rebellion of Orochimaru was an important event that accelerated its decline.
After Sannin disbanded, it can be seen that the rapid loss of Konoha's expert group began to skyrocket like a drag race. The first was Nine-Tails Incident, because Madara's conspiracy, Konoha lost Minato and a large number of older generation elites, and then Cloud Ninja invaded, not yet from Nine-Tails Incident Konoha Ninja Army, who had regained his composure, hurriedly went into battle and fought with the Cloud Ninja army. Both sides suffered losses. The grassroots elites who had finally accumulated in Third Shinobi World War Almost dead, Uchiha Clan Massacre came again. After a gorgeous internal fight, no matter at the upper level or at the grassroots level, Konoha's last trace of vitality was finally squeezed out...
What a sin... He has been busy playing the game, but he actually forgot about such an important thing!
"Qi, what's wrong?"
Seeing Qi suddenly stop and look like he suddenly realized something, Kakashi and Obito also stopped in confusion.
"What did you think of?"
"..."
After taking a look at them, Qi Hu temporarily didn't know what was going on. Could it be that he had already rebelled against Kakashi and Obito Orochimaru?
He couldn't explain it clearly...
"No, I just have a little hunch that what Sunagakure Ninja said may be true."
"No? Are there really people who are not afraid of death?"
Even though he was wearing a mask, Kakashi expressed his surprise by widening his eyes.
"Here, our Konoha Village's strength is an absolute advantage..."
"Yes... there are always people in the world who are not afraid of death."
Qi responded casually, but he didn't think so.
Absolute advantage? That was already in the past. Orochimaru rebelled, and Konoha must be in chaos. How can there be enough energy to fully take care of the delegation still in Land of Waterfalls...
Now I just don't know whether it is true or not that Sunagakure Ninja and the others will side with Konoha, but the credibility is still higher. After all, Sunagakure really needs Konoha to be its "shield" now.
"Let's go, don't think about it anymore. It's not our turn to think about it anyway."
After finishing almost everything he should think about, Qi was too lazy to worry about the hollow anymore. He patted Kakashi and Obito on the shoulders and was about to leave, but at this time, a group of people stopped him.
"Qi Jun, long time no see, do you mind if we chat?"
There were three people coming, all dressed in black robes. They walked up to Qi and the other three, and then took off their masks.
"Is it you?"
Qi looked at the familiar faces in front of him in surprise,
"You haven't left yet."
"Why are you leaving?"
The man with short orange hair smiled slightly,
"You saved my life and helped Nagato. How could I have the nerve to leave without thanking you in person?"
