Founding the Martial Arts Tournament, the Five Kage's Shock!

Konoha, Hokage's Office.

The Five Kage Summit officially began.

However, unlike previous Five Kage Summits, this time, they were facing Ato!

Ato sat casually in a chair, the tail behind him lightly tapping against the armrest.

"You should know that I was ordered to come here and destroy the Ninja World."

In the deathly silent office, Ato spoke casually.

Here it comes!

The Five Kage's pupils contracted instantly.

They stared fixedly at Ato, cold sweat appearing on every face.

"As a lower-class Saiyan, I cannot defy the orders of the Saiyan king, King Vegeta."

Ato's cold little face was utterly solemn.

The Five Kage barely dared to breathe as they sat upright, waiting for Ato's next verdict.

"I had originally planned to destroy this planet outright."

Gasp!

Ato's words made the Five Kage suck in sharp breaths, and even the chakra in their bodies seemed to freeze for an instant.

The Kage, who had once stood high above others and wielded supreme authority over their shinobi villages, were now like ordinary people before Ato, utterly unable to control their emotions.

"However, I've changed my mind!"

Ato lightly tapped the tabletop with his fingers, casually sweeping his gaze across the Five Kage before continuing.

"I intend to hold a Martial Arts Tournament in the Ninja World."

The Five Kage exchanged glances, their eyes filled with confusion and incomprehension.

"A Martial Arts Tournament?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi muttered quietly, then gave Ōnoki, the Tsuchikage not far away, a look.

"Lord Ato, may I ask what the purpose of holding this Martial Arts Tournament is?" Ōnoki glared at Hiruzen Sarutobi, then reluctantly braced himself and asked Ato.

"The purpose? As long as you can defeat me in the Martial Arts Tournament, or even fight me to a draw, I'll abandon my plan to destroy the Ninja World."

Ato glanced at Ōnoki and answered casually.

The Five Kage exchanged looks again, and everyone let out a sigh of relief.

Although they did not know why Ato wanted to hold this so-called Martial Arts Tournament, at least the Ninja World would not be destroyed immediately.

"What are the rules of the Martial Arts Tournament?"

A, the Raikage, was the first to ask the question that concerned them most.

"You may use one-on-one battles or many-against-one battles. Even the combat rules can be decided by you."

After Ato finished speaking, the smile on his face vanished. He raised one finger.

"I have only one requirement!"

As he said this, Ato's expression became incomparably serious.

"The more participants in the Martial Arts Tournament, the better. But you must ensure that the overall combat power of every participant or team is no lower than 50!"

Ato's demand made the Five Kage tense up once more.

The fact that they could decide the combat rules themselves had delighted the Five Kage beyond measure.

But Ato's requirement of an overall combat power no lower than 50 left them at a loss.

They had no idea what standard Ato's so-called combat power of 50 referred to.

"Lord Ato, the combat power of 50 you mentioned..."

Rasa, the Kazekage, spoke hesitantly.

Tap.

Before Rasa could finish speaking, Ato casually tossed a small Object Sealing Scroll onto the table before the Five Kage.

Hiruzen Sarutobi glanced at the Sealing Scroll and froze for a moment. Then, under Ato's cold gaze, Hiruzen Sarutobi pressed his right hand onto it.

"Sealing Release."

Poof.

Amid a cloud of white smoke, five Scouters in different colors appeared atop the Sealing Scroll.

This standard-issue type of Scouter was practically worthless on Planet Vegeta.

Even lower-class Saiyans could freely requisition multiple Scouters.

Before coming to Naruto Planet, Ato had requested thirty Scouters from the Lower-Class Saiyan Destruction Corps.

Seventeen of them had been ruined during the development of Android 18.

The remaining Scouters had all been stored aboard Ato's spaceship as spares.

After gaining chakra, Ato had sealed these things inside Sealing Scrolls for convenient carrying.

"Th-this is a Scouter?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi picked up a blue Scouter and, imitating Ato, put it on his head.

Beep, beep, beep.

As Hiruzen Sarutobi put on the Scouter, combat power values appeared before his eyes one after another.

Hiruzen Sarutobi subconsciously looked toward Ato.

Then, for the first time, he saw Ato's combat power value:

220!

Among the Five Kage, A, the Raikage, had the highest combat power at 53.

Rasa, the Kazekage, had the lowest combat power, only 30.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's combat power was 43.

Yagura, the Mizukage, and Ōnoki, the Tsuchikage, had similar combat power, at 42 and 48 respectively.

Whew. It seems this Saiyan Ato isn't all that strong after all.

Hiruzen Sarutobi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

At that moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi had no idea just how disastrously wrong he was.

"Lord Ato, when will the Martial Arts Tournament begin?" After putting on the Scouter, Yagura, the Mizukage, continued questioning Ato.

"One month!

I'll only give you one month."

Ato raised one finger again and spoke coldly.

"One month from now, the Martial Arts Tournament will officially begin."

After Ato spoke, he suddenly raised his right hand.

The Five Kage instantly felt their bodies being restrained, completely unable to move.

The Five Kage's expressions changed drastically.

However, in the next second, their bodies underwent a strange transformation.

White spores began rapidly emerging from all over their bodies.

Right before the Five Kage's eyes, these spores grew at incredible speed and turned into White Zetsu in the blink of an eye.

"What the hell are these?" ×5.

The Five Kage stared at the White Zetsu growing from their bodies, their faces filled with shock.

"Hello!"

After appearing, the White Zetsu greeted the Five Kage in an exaggerated manner.

However, before the White Zetsu could finish speaking.

Ato clenched his right hand, and the White Zetsu on the Five Kage immediately felt a terrifying force tugging at their bodies.

"What's going on?" the White Zetsu cried out in panic.

However, no matter how they screamed, they could not break free of Ato's restraint.

The White Zetsu were rapidly pulled from the Five Kage's bodies and suspended in midair.

"Android 18, collect their cells."

Ato gave the White Zetsu a cold glance before issuing Android 18 an order.

"Okay, Ato."

Android 18 responded, and the side of her Scouter opened as Micro Collection Robots rapidly spread throughout the Hokage's Office.

In the next second, the Micro Collection Robots had already collected the cells of everyone present.

"Go back and tell Madara Uchiha that I look forward to seeing him at the Martial Arts Tournament."

Ato looked at the dozen or so White Zetsu floating in midair and spoke coldly.

"He actually knows Madara Uchiha?"

"This is bad. Lord Madara has been exposed."

The White Zetsu whispered among themselves, their faces filled with horror.

After speaking, Ato casually waved his hand and threw the White Zetsu to the ground.

Upon touching the ground, the White Zetsu quickly merged into it and vanished.

Ato paid no attention to the White Zetsu's escape.

He merely stroked his chin, thinking about the White Zetsu cells.

"White Zetsu are very similar to the Saibamen cultivated on Planet Vegeta. Although their combat power is far inferior to that of Saibamen, some of White Zetsu's traits are still quite good. I could clone some White Zetsu and try cultivating them."

As Ato pondered, his body slowly floated into the air.

"You have one month to increase your strength. The Ninja World should have plenty of ways to increase your combat power, right?

Go and do everything you can to raise your combat power.

The stronger you become, the more interesting this game belonging solely to me, Ato, will be.

Use your strength and exhilarating battles to entertain me to your heart's content!

If I enjoy the fighting, perhaps I might spare the Ninja World."

Boom!

After speaking, Ato shot straight into the sky, transforming into a streak of light and disappearing from the Hokage Building.

"One month from now, the Martial Arts Tournament begins!"

After Ato left, the Five Kage did not depart. Instead, they all fell silent.

"Tell me, what should we do?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi was the first to speak, breaking the silence.

"Let's unite!" Ōnoki looked at the other Kage and said helplessly.

"How do we unite?" Rasa frowned deeply and raised the question.

"First, select the geniuses from each of our shinobi villages. Then, the Five Great Shinobi Villages will train them together and rapidly increase their combat power," A, the Raikage, said decisively.

"That's all we can do." Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed.

They then finalized the detailed plan for their alliance.

Konoha established the Shinobi Allied Forces Department, to be jointly managed by the Five Kage.

The Kage of each village needed to quickly confirm the talented individuals from their villages who would participate in the Martial Arts Tournament. The Shinobi Allied Forces Department would then uniformly improve their strength.

They would also conduct unified emergency special training for these talents.

As for how to improve their strength.

The Five Kage had already discussed the corresponding measures.

The talents of each village would focus on their own village's Secret Jutsu, while the other shinobi villages would provide support.

In Konoha Year 46, the Saiyans descended, and the Martial Arts Tournament, Ato's Game, was born.

Because of the Martial Arts Tournament, the Ninja World's structure underwent an unprecedented transformation!
