After more than two hours of chaotic fighting, the following individuals successfully advanced from the first round of matches: Uchiha Obito, Might Guy, Darui, Hii, Pakura, Deidara, Akatsuchi, and Hozuki Mangetsu, one of the second batch of Ninja Swordsmen.
In the afternoon, the one-on-one matches finally began. The morning's chaotic brawl wasn't exciting for the spectators, as the large number of participants made the fighting extremely disorganized! But the afternoon matches were different; they were individual duels, and the level of excitement far surpassed the first match! Obito was the first to appear in his group, and his opponent was none other than Darui.
The second match is Guy versus Nozomi. The third match is Yūkura versus Deidara, and the fourth match is Akatsuchi versus Nozomi.
Chapter 44 The First Shinobi World Tournament (Part 2)
The fourth match is between Akado and Hozuki Mangetsu!
The ninja tournament venue was already packed with people. No one thought there was any suspense in the match between Obito and Darui. For non-reincarnated individuals, Obito Uchiha was a loser, so how could he possibly be a match for the Raikage's genius, Darui?
The reborn individuals, on the other hand, are quite the opposite. They are acutely aware of Obito's strength—a being capable of suppressing the entire ninja world single-handedly. Even if Darui becomes the Raikage's right-hand man in the future, he would still be no match for Obito!
The two were already in position. For Obito, this match was one he absolutely had to win, and he had to win cleanly and decisively. His position was promoted by his teacher against all odds, and if it weren't for that, his teacher's reputation might be affected. Therefore, Obito had no intention of holding back!
As soon as the referee announced the start of the match, Obito immediately unleashed a dense barrage of kunai from his Kamui dimension, hurtling towards Daru! Explosive tags were attached to the ends of the kunai, clearly showing Obito's ruthlessness.
Darui, being the Fifth Raikage, possessed incredibly fast reflexes. The moment the referee's opening words faded, he immediately entered Lightning Release Chakra Mode, wrapping yellow lightning around his body and instantly dodging Obito's attack...
After dodging the attack, Darui didn't stop, but charged straight at Obito.
As a reborn individual, he was very aware of Kamui's weaknesses and knew that to defeat Obito, he would need to attack continuously for more than five minutes. However, with his current body, his chakra simply couldn't sustain him for that long if he used ninjutsu. Therefore, his only option was close combat!
With the Lightning Release Chakra Mode activated, his attack power, reflexes, and defense would all increase significantly, which was his only chance of winning! So he rushed towards Obito without hesitation!
Obito didn't intend to defeat Darui in one blow, so he attached a steel wire to the kunai. After Darui dodged the attack, he immediately used his Sharingan to find him and controlled the kunai to rotate and fly towards him.
Seeing this, Darui was forced to stop. He knew that Obito possessed Kamui, which allowed attacks to pass through his body, while he was merely a mortal. Even with the enhancement of Lightning Release Chakra Mode, he simply couldn't withstand so many explosive tags. Therefore, he immediately stopped, his hands rapidly forming hand seals, and he softly chanted, "Water Release: Water Wall."
As soon as he finished speaking, a water-based circular wall appeared around Yindarui, covering him completely. Without pausing, the water wall was filled with kunai within two seconds of its appearance. As the explosive tags burned out, an explosion immediately rang out, instantly filling the venue with steam and dust.
The large amount of dust and water vapor forced the audience to cover their eyes, making it impossible to see what was happening in the venue!
Meanwhile, Obito activated his Mangekyou Sharingan, and his Sharingan's observational abilities immediately located Darui's position!
Obito swiftly formed hand seals and unleashed a Fire Release: Explosive Dance attack on Darui. Darui, a seasoned veteran, knew that Obito possessed the Mangekyou Sharingan, which could instantly pinpoint his location. He knew that stopping while his eyes were blurry would likely result in him being attacked!
So he had no choice but to close his eyes and run frantically around the venue. Unfortunately, in terms of speed, there were very few people in the ninja world who could surpass Obito. With a Kamui, he instantly appeared behind Darui, and the kunai in his right hand had already reached Darui's throat!
Feeling the chill in his throat, Darui knew the battle was over and stopped in his tracks!
About 10 minutes passed, and the dust and steam in the venue finally dissipated. The referee, whose vision had been restored, saw that the outcome was clear and immediately announced Obito's victory.
However, the audience had some opinions about the match!
"What just happened? How did the match end so quickly? Did you see it?" "No! I didn't see anything after that Uchiha used the explosive tag at the beginning of the match!" "Could it be a fixed match? I bet on Darui to win! How could the match be decided so inexplicably?"
The majority of people in the hall were ordinary citizens, and they found the result unacceptable! After the referee's decision, the hall began to clamor, and the voices of doubt grew louder and louder!
Obito ignored them and simply left! He wasn't good at persuasion; the only way to dispel their doubts was through strength!
The second match was between Guy and Nozomi. In Obito's opinion, this match was a foregone conclusion. Nozomi was a support-type ninja with excellent sensory perception and healing abilities, but Guy was clearly the stronger one! Sure enough, not long after the match began, Guy seized an opportunity and defeated Nozomi with a Wood Release: Whirlwind!
Obito showed little interest in the next two matches; regardless of his opponent, he didn't believe he would lose! So he went backstage and closed his eyes to rest.
He didn't realize the other two matches were over until the referee woke him up! His next match was against Deidara, while Guy's opponent was Hozuki Mangetsu!
Obito was very familiar with Deidara; back when he was still Tobi, Deidara was his partner!
As he walked out from backstage, the murmurs of doubt from the audience continued. Most of the civilians had favored Darui in Obito's match; how could they possibly accept Obito's inexplicable victory?
Hearing their doubts, Obito's anger grew stronger! By the time he finally reached the center of the hall, his face was already very dark!
Seeing Obito's expression, the referee felt a little guilty. He was also a ninja, and a reincarnated one at that, so he naturally knew Obito's strength. Seeing the two in position, he immediately announced the start of the match and then ran away at a distance!
Neither Obito nor Deidara noticed the referee's actions. After he announced the start, Deidara immediately put his hands into his back pockets, and a moment later, a clay centipede flew towards Obito!
At this moment, Obito stood motionless, but his chakra was overflowing, with blue chakra continuously forming on his body...
Those civilians and non-reincarnated ninjas thought Obito was terrified! The mockery grew even louder... Meanwhile, the Five Kage's expressions turned grave upon seeing this scene, and Minato immediately summoned the barrier team to reinforce the barrier.
Chapter 45 The First Shinobi World Tournament (End)
Minato trusted Obito, and even though Obito seemed to be out of control, he didn't stop the match!
The other Kage, seeing Obito in this state, were secretly on guard, ready to rescue him immediately if anything happened to him!
Lin, sitting in the audience, was very unhappy to hear the doubts from others, but she couldn't stop them and could only sit there anxiously!
But when she saw Obito in this somewhat out-of-control state, she became even more uneasy! She knew exactly what kind of person Obito would be in the future...
However, since Minato-sensei did not stop the match, she was powerless to do anything but shout loudly, hoping that Obito could hear her voice and calm down!
At this moment, Obito was focused on gathering his chakra and did not notice Rin's voice. The blue chakra quickly solidified on his body, and a moment later, a blue giant over a hundred meters tall appeared on the field!
At this moment, there was not a sound in the arena. The huge air pressure enveloped the entire venue. Under this pressure, no one could even blink, let alone speak!
Even the reborn ninjas, who had seen the complete Susanoo before, were now covered in cold sweat and their bodies were trembling uncontrollably!
Previously, Madara Uchiha's complete Susanoo primarily fought against the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju. Hashirama, fearing harm to innocent bystanders, kept his distance, and they watched from afar. Therefore, they didn't feel any pressure. But now it's different. Obito's complete Susanoo is less than 100 meters away, and they can even see Obito's dark expression! Therefore, the two are simply incomparable.
This feeling of being unable to control one's own life and death is truly terrifying. Some people even want to shout loudly, but no matter how hard they try, they just can't make a sound!
The Five Kage were also struggling to breathe under the pressure of the full-scale Susanoo. Although some of them had faced it before, they were still incredulous and broke out in a cold sweat when they encountered such earth-shattering power again!
Back on the field, Deidara's clay centipede exploded upon contact with Susanoo, but its explosive power was nothing more than a tickle compared to the complete Susanoo! Let alone managing to steal Obito...
At this moment, Deidara was facing the complete Susanoo. The pressure was making him unsteady on his feet, but the stubborn Deidara still faced Obito with trembling hands!
At this moment, Obito did not lose his mind due to anger. The reason he used the complete version of Susanoo was firstly to silence the doubters in the future and make them stop questioning his strength, and secondly to prepare for the next playback of Naruto's memories!
It's difficult to accurately gauge the strength of a future enemy through a video, but witnessing the complete Susanoo makes all the difference! They can make a direct comparison, giving them a clearer understanding of how terrifying their future adversary will be!
The venue remained completely silent. Obito reached out with his right hand and grabbed the immobile Deidara. He then used his Sharingan to control Deidara, forcing him to surrender!
After Deidara surrendered, Obito immediately deactivated Susanoo and then turned and walked out of the venue!
After Obito walked out of the venue, everyone there remained motionless for a long time! For them, this day was perhaps a memory they would never forget for the rest of their lives!
About 20 minutes later, the referee recovered and declared Obito Uchiha the winner! The audience gradually recovered as well, and once everyone had recovered, the discussion became even louder! But this time, they dared not question Obito's strength anymore!
After being forced to rest for another 30 minutes, the second match between Kai and Hozuki Mangetsu officially began!
Under Gai's powerful attack, Hozuki Mangetsu quickly lost his ability to fight. Although his ability is very special, he can turn into water when attacked, but that does not mean that the attack is ineffective against him. It just means that the damage he receives will be greatly reduced after turning into water. However, if he is hit by Gai's attack too many times, he will still be injured!
Furthermore, Kai successfully learned Lightning Release: Chakra Mode, which can counter Hozuki Mangetsu.
Therefore, Kai successfully advanced and competed against Obito for the championship!
Today's match felt like a dream to everyone in the venue! When Obito returned to the arena, no one dared to make a sound. Even Rin didn't cheer for Obito. The final match unfolded in this eerie atmosphere!
Kai showed no mercy. As soon as the referee announced the start of the match, he immediately opened the Seventh Gate of the Eight Gates!
For Guy, this match was very difficult. Although Obito didn't use the full version of Susanoo again, Kamui's unpredictable spatial abilities made him impossible to defend against! After attacking continuously for 5 minutes, Obito used a portion of Susanoo to protect himself, and for a moment Guy couldn't break through Obito's defense...
Once he breaks through Susanoo's defenses, Kamui can be used again!
Obito continued to wear down Guy in this way, until finally, after Guy had been attacking for 10 minutes, he collapsed from exhaustion!
Obito won the final victory!
After Obito's victory, the second match of the Ninja Tournament officially ended!
On the third day, the final day of the Ninja Tournament, only 300 Jonin participated. This was the most direct competition, divided into 10 matches! Akatsuchi ultimately won the Jonin group! While Kakashi is quite strong, he's only 12 years old and far from his peak. Akatsuchi, as the son of the Third Tsuchikage, is naturally powerful, and being in his prime, his victory is not surprising.
After the Fourth Hokage's address, the First Ninja Tournament officially came to a close.
But the matter did not end there. In order to facilitate the playback of Naruto's memories, Minato deliberately chose to hold the closing ceremony at night!
The guards in Konoha were even tighter than during the day, causing some discussion among the crowd.
At this moment, inside the Hokage Building, the Five Kage, the Three Legendary Sannin, Obito Uchiha, Shikaku Nara, Kakashi Hatake, Kushina Uzumaki, Rin, Bee, Kyoto, Maki, Guy, and Dai were all gathered together. Because the matter was of utmost importance, they were all fully prepared.
Naruto's memories weren't very important in the early stages, so they weren't shown throughout the entire ninja world. They were only shown in Konoha, and after everyone gradually accepted them, they were slowly circulated outside the village!
At eight o'clock sharp, Minato nodded to Kushina, and Kurama's chakra instantly flowed into the memory sphere. Upon contact with the Nine-Tails' chakra, the memory sphere immediately emitted a powerful light, instantly enveloping Konoha Village. The villagers began to stir, but the prepared ninjas quickly quelled the disturbance. At that moment, a giant screen appeared above the Konoha office building. After the light faded, the screen began displaying images…
P.S.: We're now starting the live stream... We hope you'll all give us your support!
Ninja World Live
Chapter 46 Naruto Uzumaki Makes His Appearance
The scene that everyone saw showed a child with short blond hair, wearing an orange jacket and a dark green goggles. He had six whisker-like markings on his face and was holding a bucket that seemed to contain something. Two ninjas were chasing after him.
Why is the scene starting with someone being chased? Everyone was somewhat taken aback and confused. Who is this person? And why is he being chased?
As Minato and Kushina Uzumaki looked at the boy, their expressions softened. Although they had never seen Naruto as a child, as parents, they recognized him immediately as their son, Naruto Uzumaki!
The scene shifted on the screen to the stone statues of the past Hokage, who were now covered in scribbles and graffiti. Connecting this to the bucket the child had been carrying, everyone understood why the boy had been chased.
Minato and Kushina scratched their heads somewhat embarrassedly. Naruto must have caused a lot of trouble for the people of Konoha when he was a child!
The scene continues showing Naruto successfully attracting two Chunin, but before he could even celebrate, he was caught by Iruka, who arrived later, and taken back to the academy!
Although Naruto was caught on the spot, everyone could tell from his nonchalant attitude that this wasn't the first time he had done something like this!
Those unfamiliar with Naruto began to wonder: how could someone do such a thing to the statues of the sacred Hokage? Where were his parents? Didn't they care about him?
In the scene, Iruka, seeing that Naruto completely ignored him, angrily pointed at everyone and said, "Today's lesson is a test to review the Transformation Technique. Those who have passed, come forward and line up."
Another test? Everyone thought Naruto was the one who caused this trouble for them, and they couldn't help but start blaming him. But Naruto obviously felt that this had nothing to do with him and still acted as if it was none of his business!
The test proceeded quickly, and everyone before Naruto passed smoothly. The person before Naruto was Uchiha Sasuke. Upon seeing him, a cheer erupted from the Uchiha clan. As per Minato's instructions, most of the Konoha ninja knew that what was being shown was a future event! So, seeing their clansman perform so well, they couldn't help but cheer…
Based on Shikaku Nara's suggestion, Minato has already arranged for the Uchiha clan to move into Konoha, which would increase communication between the two sides!
After Sasuke, it was Naruto's turn. Perhaps because the first person to appear on screen was this golden-haired child, the common people had high hopes for him, and the reborn people also began to look forward to it. Firstly, they had experienced this test a lot when they were in the Ninja Academy, and they felt it was very painful at the time. But now, watching the video, they really missed those carefree days!
