Konoha: The thirty-year-old Uchiha is not motivated.

The Silver and Gold brothers, who had taken off their Thunder Armor, heard Uchiha Madara's words, which did not seem false, and looked at the Konoha forehead protector on his forehead in surprise, then looked at each other.
Could he also be a poor person who was once harmed by that hateful white-haired guy, Tobirama Senju?

"That's really..."

"Ball Bean Sack! Little Jinjin, stay away from this guy!"

Just as Kinkaku was about to thank Uchiha Madara, whom he had never met, the Eight-Tails, which had been lurking in the sea of ​​consciousness, immediately stopped him with a loud voice.

"Old Eight, what's wrong? Is there something wrong with him?"

Jinjiao frowned and asked the sweaty Niugui,
"This is a huge problem. Take my advice and don't get involved with him."

The memory of being beaten up by Uchiha Madara in the sea was still fresh in his mind, and Niu Gui didn't want to have anything to do with this guy even if he was beaten to death.
Moreover, that fellow Nine-Tails once complained that there was Indra's consciousness chakra in Uchiha Madara's body, and that evil star with a perverse temper was so powerful that even the cows and ghosts couldn't hide from him.

"But."

"Don't say but, if you don't leave, I will take over!"

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you~"

After a brief exchange with the Ushiki in his mind, Kinkaku came back to his senses and saw the impatience gradually emerging on Uchiha Madara's face. He immediately shook his head and said,

"Thank you for your kindness, Excellency. Our two brothers have a personal grudge against Tobirama Senju, and we have no intention of involving innocent people."

Kinkaku's words were neither humble nor arrogant, and there was nothing wrong with them. After listening to them, Uchiha Madara looked at the Silver and Gold brothers with a little surprise.

I didn't expect that these two guys with fierce faces are actually rare upright people.

"I think they look down on you~"

The Nine-Tails, hiding in the corner of Uchiha Madara's sea of ​​consciousness, saw that the Silver and Gold brothers dared to reject Uchiha Madara, and immediately jumped out to add fuel to the fire, with calculations in his narrow eyes.

It's time to avenge my death!
Nine-Tailed Fox's move was undoubtedly a preparation to kill someone with a borrowed knife, which perfectly demonstrated the meaning of the phrase "the fox borrows the power of the tiger to bully others".

"Shut up! Did I ask you to speak?"

"woooooo"

"You must be the Silver and Gold Brothers of Kumogakure, right? Your actions are quite different from what is said in the legend. I hope you won't let me down."

Since the other party rejected his kindness, Uchiha Madara did not lower himself to help by force. Instead, he looked at the two muscular men with a scrutinizing look and spoke coldly with some hint in his tone.

"untie!"

After saying that, Uchiha Madara raised one hand, and the huge Susanoo Tengu began to dissipate. After the three of them landed steadily, Kinkaku and Ginkaku distanced themselves from him and began to look around at the same time.
After landing, Uchiha Madara opened his scarlet eyes and glanced at the knights who were waiting in full battle array. Finally, he raised his head, and a seductive pattern flashed in his eyes, and his cold and dark pupil power was ready to go.

“I hate being looked down upon.”

"Oonoki, let's go down."

Wu, floating in the air, keenly sensed that he was enveloped by an invisible force. His brows under the bandages slightly frowned. Now was not the time to clash with Uchiha Madara, so he said to the disciple who was trembling slightly beside him,

"Bata~"

After the master and the disciple landed on the ground, Uchiha Madara changed the pattern in his eyes into three basic magatama, but the strong deterrent force it exuded still shrouded everyone's heart.

“1、2、3、4、5、6？.8。”

In front of the invincible Sharingan, all the tailed beasts' chakra could not escape. After counting them one by one, Uchiha Madara discovered that there was one knight missing.
"That bounty hunter isn't here?"

"Impossible? How could that greedy guy miss such a game?"

“Maybe it’s still on the way?”

With Uchiha Madara like a giant Buddha keeping watch, the tense atmosphere among the knights eased somewhat. Several of them formed their own camps and began to speculate on what the knights who had not yet arrived were doing.

"Forget it, he's just a sly guy."

Uchiha Madara and Kakuzu had met once before and had some understanding of his strength, so he did not take the guy who cheated children's pocket money seriously.

"I heard there's a gorgeous stage. Are you ready to dance?"

Turning his eyes to the location marked on the invitation letter, Uchiha Madara left a word, then jumped and disappeared from everyone's sight.

The few knights who stayed behind looked at Uchiha Madara who was leaving with their brows furrowed. With the appearance of such a powerful enemy, they were afraid that this trip would be dangerous.

unless
The four groups of people who had the same idea in mind looked at each other at the same time, but they couldn't bring themselves to say they wanted to cooperate.
The battle of knights is not a war in the true sense, but the ultimate test of each knight's ability and will. Several of them are the pride of their respective countries and have their own unique pride since they became famous.

"Hmph~Bandage man, don't run away from the battlefield again."

The first to speak was Gui Deng Huan Yue. He glared at Wu who was in deep thought, said some harsh words, and left with the silent Gui.

"Don't give me that cowardly look, Ohnoki!"

Wu, who was still thinking about how to deal with Uchiha Madara, was brought back to reality by the voice of his old rival. He turned around and looked at Ohnoki, whose face was tense and nervous, and shouted,

Ohnoki, who was immersed in the terrifying shadow of Uchiha Madara, shuddered suddenly, recalling that his grandfather often taught him about the will of stone when he was alive. He forced himself to be energetic and replied loudly,
"Yes!"

"Very good, very energetic!"

Wu nodded with satisfaction, and the master and disciple lifted their feet off the ground and soon disappeared into the sky.

"Brother, let's go too."

"Ginkaku, did you remember the aura of Senju Tobirama?"

"Remember, as long as he appears in my perception range, I can lock onto him immediately."

The Two-Tail's extraordinary perception is ranked among the best among the tailed beasts. Ginkaku inherited this attribute perfectly, and the moment he met Senju Tobirama, he engraved the other's chakra aura in his heart.

"Well done!"

Because the two knew who was the mastermind behind this match, the Silver and Gold brothers did not have much desire to win or lose. In their opinion, there was nothing more important than seeking revenge on Tobirama Senju.

"call"

After the Yin and Jin brothers left, Shamen, who stayed behind, let out a deep breath. The opponents that appeared were stronger than the last. Could he really win?
"Teacher, come on! You're the ace!"

Chiyo, who was standing behind Shamon, seemed to sense the dejection emanating from her teacher and immediately stood up to show her support.

"Thank you, Chiyo."

Hearing the disciple's encouragement, the monk was deeply moved and encouraged himself in his heart.

Shamen, you are not fighting alone!
In the jungle not far from the border of the Rain Country, Kakuzu, who felt uncomfortable everywhere, jumped slowly between the thick branches, his two increasingly green eyes showing deep helplessness.
As the only free knight, Kakuzu didn't want to take part in this so-called knight's war at all. Fighting with those lunatics was simply the most thankless task. With this time, he might as well catch a few wanted criminals.

He now makes millions of taels every minute, and spending time participating in competitions has directly resulted in the loss of hundreds of millions.

"Stop complaining. You know what that guy is doing. Be careful, he might kick you into a pulp too."

The Seven-Tails began to enlighten Kakuzu's consciousness. In fact, it didn't want to participate, but Uchiha Gin's deterrent power was too strong, so it had to come anyway.

"Alas~ I am alone, how can I fight against those guys? Can I just go on the field and click directly?"

Kakuzu was very self-aware. He knew that every knight was not a simple character. Although he was a veteran knight, there were always newcomers who could outpace the old ones. Those guys were not much worse than him in completing the missions, so their strength was naturally not bad either.

"squeak~"

"who?"

Just as Kakuzu was sighing, the sound of footsteps suddenly came from not far behind him, instantly alerting him. His hands subconsciously reached for his waist.
"Lord God! Hurry up, Senior Jian!"

A gentle yet energetic female voice was heard, and Kakuzu frowned. He seemed to have heard this voice somewhere before.

"Machiko, you're running too fast~"

Another panting male voice followed closely behind. As the other two figures appeared, Kakuzu slowly withdrew his big hand from his waist.
"Why are you here?"

Kakuzu looked at the simply dressed couple in front of him with confusion. He remembered that these two people had changed their identities and become unknown small town heroes.

"Senior Jian, long time no see. I came here because I received the invitation."

Mako had a serene look and a friendly smile on her face. As she spoke, she took out an envelope with gold edges from her bag.

"I see."

After seeing the invitation letter, Kakuzu suddenly realized that Decade had not only invited the Tailed Beast Knights.

"Since you are here to participate in the competition, why don't we form an alliance so that we can look after each other."

Kakuzu, who was worried about being alone, looked at the gullible Mako, rolled his eyes, and seriously sent out a team invitation.
"Okay!"

"and many more!"

Mako agreed without a second thought, but Shenhuo, who was following behind her, jumped out immediately.

"This conversation between us knights, ordinary people should not interfere."

Kakuzu frowned slightly. Why couldn't this guy stop causing trouble? It was because of him that he lost 3500 million yuan.

"I always feel like you have some hidden agenda."

"Sir, Senior Jian is not that kind of person, right?"

Seeing that her husband doubted Kakuzu's character, Mako immediately spoke out to refute him, but then she remembered how he had falsely claimed the mission experience, and suddenly she became a little hesitant.
"That kind of person? What kind of person? What has enabled me, Kakuzu, to dominate the ninja world for so many years? I rely on the word integrity!"

He never expected that his great hunter swordsman sword would be looked down upon by this pair of country bumpkins. Kakuzu was immediately furious.

"Then may I ask, Senior Jian, what is your wish after victory?"

Mako bit her lip, a gleam in her eyes, and looked at the furious Kakuzu, and asked softly,

"desire?"

The topic changed so quickly that Kakuzu was stunned for a moment. After a brief pause, he replied with a hint of confusion in his eyes.
"My wish is probably money, right?"

"If I can pay enough money, Senior Jian, can you give me the opportunity to make a wish?"

"what?"

These words made Kakuzu speechless. His green eyes fell on Mako's face, which was full of pleading. "The price of hiring me is very high."

"No problem! As long as it can save my child, I'm willing to pay any amount of money!"

Kakuzu's words were equivalent to implicitly agreeing to Mako's request. She happily wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, stroked her slightly bulging belly with her hands, and exuded the radiance of motherhood.

Children.
Some things don't need to be explained in detail, smart people can guess some of the reasons, and Kakuzu happens to be such a person.

Without further questioning, Kakuzu turned his head and said in a hoarse but reassuring voice,
"Let's go, the time is almost up."

As the last two knights stepped into the Rain Country, Uchiha Gin, who was busy decorating the stage, raised his head with a feeling.
"Finally everyone is here. I thought everyone in the prison would give up~"

Boom~
After placing the stone plaque engraved with the words "The First Knight War" at the entrance of the stage, Uchiha Gin in the Samsara Eye mode patted his hands and looked at the competition venue he had carefully arranged. He nodded with satisfaction.

This 1:10 replica of the stage of the Cell games is spacious enough to accommodate ten knights competing on the same stage.

"come yet?"

Sensing a fast-moving aura not far away, Uchiha Gin, who was standing on the stage, focused his eyes, and his blue pupils turned scarlet again.

As a pyramid triangle pattern appeared in one eye, a hole was torn in the void above Uchiha Gin's head, and the driver of Wangliang's incarnation fell out of it.

Skillfully catching the driver, Uchiha Gin pressed it to his waist and whispered,

"henshin!"

"Boom!"

Uchiha Madara fell from the sky and landed steadily on a huge island that stood out in the inland lake. With his cold scarlet eyes, he was immediately attracted by the familiar figure sitting on the protruding square stone pillar in the center of the island.

"Sasipuri~ I thought you wouldn't come to participate."

After special processing, the voice coming from under Uchiha's silver mask turned into a slightly teasing middle-aged male voice, which sounded like someone who deserved a beating.

"Stop talking nonsense. Can you cure diseases?"

If Hashirama Senju had not suddenly fallen into a coma and was diagnosed with not having much time left, Uchiha Madara would not have come to participate in such a little-known competition.

"Haha, as long as there is still a breath left, I can save it."

In fact, what Uchiha Gin said was a bit conservative, but he was worried that Uchiha Madara would think he was bragging, so he forced himself to weaken.

"If you dare to lie to me, I will kill your whole family!"

Tsk! What's wrong with my cousin now? He keeps saying he wants to kill the whole family. Doesn't he know that the ninja world is so small? If you look up the people with names and surnames, they might all be from the same family.

"clatter!"

“Da! Da!”

Just as Uchiha Madara and Uchiha Gin were talking, several figures landed on the stage. They first looked at the spacious and tidy island in the lake with curiosity, and then looked at the blue and red knights sitting cross-legged on the square stone pillar with tense expressions.

Decade is the most mysterious among the knights and the creator of all the Tailed Beast Knights. In the eyes of these people, he is no different from the Creator.

Even the usually violent tailed beasts became extremely well-behaved in front of Uchiha Gin. They kept their heads down in silence, fearing that this guy would target them.

"Sorry, we are late~"

Just when the atmosphere was a little awkward, three figures arrived late and attracted everyone's attention. The man in the cloak fell first, followed by a middle-aged man and woman who were very unfamiliar to them.

"I didn't expect that the lone ranger Hunter Knight Sword would also seek help, but..."

The naturally chatty Hozuki Hozuki was the first to burst out with a mocking remark when he saw Kakuzu appear. His eyes fell on the ordinary couple, and his disdain was visible to the naked eye.

"Humph~"

Kakuzu is no less powerful than Gui Deng Huan Yue. The two occasionally met during missions and had several conflicts, but because each had their own concerns, no one was determined to be superior, so their relationship was not very good.

It should be said that Kakuzu didn't have a very good relationship with all the Tailed Beast Knights present. After all, they were business competitors, so it was naturally impossible for them to greet each other with a smile.

"Pah~pah~pah~"

Just as Hozuki Gengetsu and Kakuzu were confronting each other, Uchiha Gin, who was sitting in the center, clapped his hands lightly and jumped off the stone pier. His rose-red compound eyes revealed a subtle deterrent power, which instantly made the two of them shut up at the same time.

"Now that everyone is here, let me announce the rules of the game."

All the knights held their breath and listened attentively.

"This year's Knights' Battle, also known as the Desire Grand Prix, is a free-for-all competition. Team formation is not encouraged, but it is not prohibited either. Everyone will compete based on their own abilities."

Uchiha Gin knew that even if he stipulated individual combat, these knights would definitely form teams privately, so he simply lifted the restrictions and allowed them to form gangs and factions. Anyway, under the temptation of prizes, the makeshift team would eventually fall apart.

"What does it mean to be eliminated?"

Wu, who was more thoughtful, raised his hand and asked,
"If a knight is beaten to the point where his transformation is cancelled, he will be eliminated. Of course, if he is unfortunately killed, he can only consider himself unlucky~"

"Well, I want to ask, is the prize real?"

The silent Mako, in the midst of everyone's suspicious gazes, walked up to Uchiha Gin, bit his lip, and asked,
"Who is that woman?"

She's obviously not a knight, yet she asks such a question. Where does this woman come from? The puzzled people set their eyes on Kakuzu who came with the woman.

"The intelligence fee is 3500 million taels."

"roll!"

It was obvious from Kakuzu's attitude that he didn't want to play tricks on them, but they had really wronged him, and he just wanted to take this opportunity to get back the bounty he had lost that year.

"It's really a package~"

"Thank you!"

Mako could sense the sincerity in Uchiha Gin's tone, and a smile appeared on her tense face again. Uchiha Madara, who had been watching everything silently, looked at her with a hint of amusement in his eyes.
This woman actually came too.

"Humph~"

However, Uchiha Madara was not afraid of this hidden opponent who suddenly appeared. As he possessed the strongest tailed beast, he was able to use Q to attack quickly.

On the water not far from the island, seven figures stood quietly, watching the situation on the island from afar.

"Mirror, can you see clearly?"

Senju Tobirama, with a somewhat pale face, stood in the middle of the team. There were several cracks visible to the naked eye on the chest of the blue armor he was wearing. Although he had just used the Flying Thunder God Technique to escape in time, he was still injured by the fists of the Silver and Gold brothers, and his internal organs were in great pain.

"Besides the positions of the Tailed Beast Knights, there are a few ordinary people."

Uchiha Kagami, with red eyes, turned his head. He had just relied on the Sharingan's super vision to take a thorough look at the situation on the island and even counted how many bricks there were.

"Ordinary people? Teacher, does that mean we can go up there too?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen raised his eyebrows in surprise when he heard this. If ordinary people could also participate, then Uchiha Madara, who had a seven-man logistics team, would be almost certain to win.

"Wait a little longer and wait and see what happens."

Faced with his disciple's proposal, Senju Tobirama was also somewhat tempted. After all, they had more people and more power. But when he thought of the two muscular men who were full of hatred, he felt that he should not be too reckless, so he ordered several people to wait where they were.

"Excuse me, can we stay and help too?"

Seeing Uchiha Gin finish introducing the rules of the game, Chiyo couldn't help but raise her hand, her beautiful eyes full of nervousness.
"Oh? If you're a cheerleader, you can stay."

Uchiha Gin turned his head and looked at his niece whom he hadn't seen for several years. A faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth under the mask. After not seeing her for several years, the gap between them had become deeper.
"That's fine!"

Chiyo's eyes lit up. Although her strength was slightly inferior to that of a knight, she had more puppets with her and could use human wave tactics to create opportunities for Shamon.

"You're overthinking it. There are special spectator seats over there, with snacks and drinks available. Just go and watch the show~"

Facing his niece who was eager to try, Uchiha Gin waved his hand, and Chiyo felt that she was suddenly enveloped by an invisible force, and her body floated up involuntarily.
"Ahhh~"

Chiyo, who had never experienced this before, danced in the air in surprise. Uchiha Gin was not polite and threw her directly onto the spectator seats that had been prepared in advance.

"Boom!"

"Ouch~"

Covering her sore butt, Chiyo climbed up with a bitter face. Looking at the lonely teacher not far away, she could only silently choose to continue to help by showing her support.

"You love me~ I love you~"

"Honey x Ice City Sweet Honey~"

"what?"

Before she had time to feel sad about Shamon's lonely fight, Chiyo was faced with the choice of the new and novel snacks.

"Is it so expensive?"

Looking at the sudden little cart in the spectator seats, Chiyo's eyebrows jumped. The prices of the goods on this cart were really too high!
[Magic Tower Crisp Tube 200 taels]

【Ice lemonade 600 taels】

【Taro bubble milk tea 800 taels】

Facing Chiyo's soul-searching question, the white snowman pushing the cart showed a simple smile.

"Okay~"

Facing such a lovely big white snowman, Chiyo gritted her teeth, took out a 1000 tael common currency from her small purse, and reluctantly handed it to the naive Snow King.

I hope I can get reimbursed when I return.

"Give me a glass of lemonade and two cones, please."

The smiling Snow King took the banknotes and took out a huge loud speaker. Under Chiyo's puzzled gaze, he played a loud sound that could be heard by the whole audience.

"Congratulations, Miss, for paying in full for your first glass of lemonade in summer!"

Huh? No wonder it's so expensive~ (End of this chapter)
