Ninja school teacher, I can become stronger by teaching...

Ōnoki's words didn't come as much of a surprise to the other Kages.

After all, the information from Iwagakure was almost a clear tell to everyone else that Ōnoki and Sosuke had fought.

"As you all know, I once fought with Sosuke. I was defeated miserably in that battle, and I'm afraid I can't be the challenger." Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head and said.

It started with Ohnoki, and then Sarutobi Hiruzen revealed his battle record.

It's not that he's afraid of fighting, Sarutobi Hiruzen really feels that he can't do it.

"Sosuke can easily defeat Hanzo with just his fire jutsu. My water jutsu is not much stronger than Hanzo's, so I cannot be a worthy challenger." The Third Mizukage sighed.

He was speaking the absolute truth. In terms of strength, among the several kages present, the only one he could surely defeat was Luo Sha.

Even Sarutobi Hiruzen thinks he is not qualified to be a challenger, so why should he join in the fun?

Everyone's eyes were on Rasa and the Third Raikage, who had not spoken yet.

"I have little experience and am powerless." Luo Sha said quickly.

Mu Yue can easily defeat him, and Sosuke is even stronger than Mu Yue. Wouldn't it be boring for him to challenge Sosuke?

Everyone looked at the Third Raikage.

At this time, everyone suddenly realized that the Third Raikage was indeed the best choice besides Mu Yue.

The Third Raikage, who possesses both the strongest spear and the strongest shield, has both excellent attacking capabilities and strong defensive capabilities. Ordinary ninjutsu cannot do anything to the Third Raikage.

Moreover, the Third Raikage, who is proficient in Lightning Release Ninjutsu, is also famous for his strong endurance, and his sustained combat capability is top-notch among ninjas.

Feeling everyone's gaze, the Third Raikage's face darkened a little, and he snorted coldly:

"You guys are blaming each other and not wanting to take risks, so why should we let Yunyin go?"

For the sake of his subordinates, he can face difficulties head-on and is not afraid no matter how strong or numerous the enemies are.

But this is a joint operation of five villages, why should he take on all the hard work himself?

The atmosphere in the meeting room became a little awkward.

Although the words of the Third Raikage were a bit harsh, they were also realistic.

Challenging Sosuke is definitely not an easy task.

First of all, with Sosuke's strength, the challenger will definitely lose, which will have a certain impact on his reputation.

If the two sides had not fought, in the hearts of most Kumogakure ninjas, the Third Raikage would still be the invincible Raikage.

If you lose in a one-on-one battle, no excuse will work. You lose.

"How about this, except for the Third Hokage who will replace the Fourth Hokage, all other Hokage will participate in the martial arts tournament, but whenever we meet the Raikage, we will pretend to be defeated and let the Raikage advance." Ohnoki thought for a while and said.

The Third Raikage didn't want to fight, but he felt that Kumogakure was at a disadvantage, so they wanted to prevent the Third Raikage from suffering any loss.

Before his defeat to Sosuke, the Third Raikage would defeat other Kages in martial arts tournaments.

"I think there's no problem." Sarutobi Hiruzen said.

When he thought about the benefits Konoha could gain from this battle, he felt that losing some face was acceptable, after all, he was not the current Hokage.

"I think it's okay." The Third Mizukage had no objection.

Luo Sha nodded quickly. Although it was unpleasant to be embarrassed, if the Ninja Clan was not eliminated, the future of Sunagakure would be difficult.

The Third Raikage thought to himself, "I can still win without you having to disguise yourself."

However, after thinking about it carefully, he felt that Ohnoki's proposal was indeed good and would help strengthen the power of his Kumogakure.

Thus, the assassination plan against Sosuke was officially decided.

Except for Konoha, where the current Kage does not have a leader, the current Kage of other major ninja villages personally leads a large number of elite ninjas to participate in the competition.

Putting aside the hidden conspiracy, if we only look at the number of strong men participating in the competition, the number of strong men participating in the Ninja Martial Arts Tournament will exceed any previous battle, making it a rare ninja event.

……

As time passed, the Ninja Clan continued to release new information about the martial arts tournament.

For example, the ranking rewards of the martial arts competition.

The rewards for the top four in this martial arts tournament are better than those for the top four in the last Youth Martial Arts Tournament. While retaining the original rewards for the top four, more rewards have been added.

First, in addition to the new opportunity to challenge Sosuke, the ninjutsu is no longer just Fire Dragon Dance, there is also Wind Style Vacuum Hurricane Dragon of the same level, and you can also obtain four of the latest advanced ninjutsu scrolls produced by the Ninja Sect.

The second is that you can ask Sosuke to customize three ninjutsu, and you can also get the latest advanced ninjutsu scrolls produced by three ninja sects.

The third option is to study with Sosuke for a month, but what is taught is not fixed and is entirely decided by Sosuke. There are two ninjutsu scrolls.

The fourth is a set of top-level prosthetic limbs from the Ninja Clan, with free surgery and only one Ninjutsu scroll.

In addition to the top four, there are rewards for other rankings this time. As long as the players enter the knockout stage, even if they are eliminated in the first round, they can get the latest ordinary ninjutsu scroll.

The higher your ranking, the more and higher-level prosthetic limbs and ninjutsu scrolls you will receive.

After the news of the reward spread throughout the ninja world, it quickly caused heated discussions throughout the ninja world.

There's no other reason, the reward is simply too valuable.

The fourth worst among the top four also has a top-level chakra sword and a top-level prosthetic limb.

If I sell it, I don’t know how many S-level tasks it will be worth.

Of course, most people are more self-aware. After all, the fight was so intense last time there was an age limit. This time there is no age limit, so there will definitely be a lot of strong people.

Most people want to participate in the martial arts competition to get a ranking reward in the elimination round.

In the last Youth Martial Arts Tournament, some ninjas from small villages entered the knockout stage. They believed that there was still hope of getting a ranking in the knockout stage.

Being able to watch the battle between powerful people and get a ninjutsu scroll at the same time is a win-win no matter how you look at it.

Of course, there are also those who aim for high rankings, such as Obito.

"I lost to Nagato last time, but now my strength has greatly improved. I will definitely not lose to him again!" Obito said confidently.

It is true that Nagato's abilities are strange, and his Mangekyō Sharingan and Flying Thunder God Technique are not to be underestimated.

Although Nagato should have made some progress during this time, his progress is unlikely to be as great as his.

"There is no age limit this time, and the strongest contestant may not be Nagato." Kakashi reminded calmly.

The rewards for this martial arts competition are so good, and now that it is a peaceful time, there will definitely be many strong people who will participate for the rewards.

"I don't care who participates in the competition, as long as I keep winning and get first place!" Obito said domineeringly.

With the mighty Flying Thunder God technique in hand, he can deal with anyone he meets.

"As expected of Obito, this is what youth should be like!" Might Guy gave a thumbs up.

He is also preparing to participate in this martial arts competition, and his goal is also to come first.

"Since we're participating in the competition, we have to take first place, Kakashi, don't you think?"

"Just do your best." Kakashi replied, shaking his head.

He didn't have much interest in the martial arts competition. He didn't resist it, but he didn't like it much either.

The main reason why he went to participate was because Obito and the others wanted to go, and Konoha persuaded them to go.

"Don't force yourself to get a ranking. The important thing is to participate and perform to the best of your ability." Shisui gave a few people a heads-up in advance.

As the vice-captain of the training team, Shisui knew more than the average ninja.

The circumstances of this martial arts tournament were so complex that even Shisui was a little bit incredulous when he was notified.

It's too outrageous for the five Kage to team up to compete in a competition.

"Well, as long as we give full play to our strength, we will have no regrets no matter what ranking we get." Yamato nodded.

During the last Youth Martial Arts Tournament, he was unable to leave the village to participate due to root problems.

Now that he is a full-fledged Chunin of Konoha, of course he has to follow the footsteps of his predecessors and participate in the martial arts tournament.

Shisui looked at Yamato with some pity. With Yamato's strength, if he had participated in the last Youth Martial Arts Tournament, as long as his luck was not too bad, he would have no problem entering the knockout round.

This year, that may not be the case.

After all, the opponents are the elite ninjas from the Five Kage and the Five Great Ninja Villages.

"That being said, we still have to strive for first place. After all, we were second last time, and we can't fall behind this time." Obito said with a smile, looking very optimistic.

Shisui didn't respond. In this martial arts tournament, let alone second place, if you want to enter the top four, you must defeat the top ninjas.

When the martial arts tournament was about to begin, Konoha began to form a team to prepare to go to the Ninja Clan to participate in the martial arts tournament.

"Why are there so many people going this time?" Obito couldn't help but mutter in his heart as he looked at the somewhat long line.

Although it is normal to have more participants when there is no age limit, this is too many. It must be nearly seven or eight times the number of last time.

In addition, the former Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen and the current Hokage's assistant Namikaze Minato are also in the team, and even the current Hokage is leading the team himself.

"Teacher Mu Yue and the others should have been invited to watch the game, right?" Obito quickly thought of a very reasonable reason.

Going to Six Paths Castle does not necessarily mean participating in the competition, which can also explain why there are so many ninjas in the team. After all, it is the Hokage's trip.

"Obito, are you confident that you can get first place this time?" Asuma walked to Obito with a smile, patted him on the shoulder and asked.

"It's okay, I feel like there's a chance." Obito answered rather implicitly.

He has now practiced Yang Breathing quite well, so using the Mangekyo will be less stressful.

"That means I've made a lot of progress. I feel like I'm doing well as long as I can stay in the quarterfinals." Asuma sighed.

Once the age limit is removed, their opponents are no longer just those who are a few years older than them. It is not uncommon to encounter opponents who are old enough to be their fathers.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was not far away: ...

To be in the quarterfinals, the ability to enter the knockout stage is due to hard work and good luck.

This martial arts competition is enough to qualify even if you are labeled as the best in the world. There are so many strong people participating.

In fact, Sarutobi Hiruzen thought about persuading Asuma to give up the martial arts tournament because it was difficult to get a ranking and it was also dangerous.

However, Sarutobi Hiruzen said nothing in the end, because he was not the only one with a child.

Title: My Girlfriend Died in the Past

Introduction:

"You said you have a girlfriend?"

"Yes."

"She's beautiful, has a great figure, and a perfect temperament. Her family is very wealthy. Why doesn't she want you to have a car and a house, or even a betrothal gift?"

"Yes."

"Besides that, she also washes your clothes and cooks for you, and even boils water for you to wash your feet?"

"That's right, I don't know how many lifetimes I've cultivated to get this blessing."

"Then you are indeed lucky. I am a little envious of you."

The doctor recorded it in the medical record and turned back to tell the nurse:

"The condition has worsened again, remember to increase the dosage."

Chapter 722 I fight Naruto?

There were no restrictions on participation, the rewards far exceeded those of the previous tournament, and coupled with the blessing of peacetime, the Ninja Clan's second martial arts tournament created an unprecedented event.

Even the Liudao City, which had been expanding, became a bit crowded due to the sudden influx of a large number of people.

The participants certainly won't fill up the Six Paths Castle. After all, ninjas are only a minority group. It's mainly because of this grand event that it attracts many ordinary people.

Some people want to find reliable ninjas to complete their missions through this martial arts tournament, some people simply want to watch the exciting fights of the ninjas, and some people want to take the opportunity to make a fortune in Liudao City.

In short, due to various reasons, the population of Liudao City has reached its peak since its establishment.

"There are so many people. If there are thousands of ninjas participating in the competition, how long will the preliminaries take?" Obito couldn't help but complain as he entered Six Paths Castle and looked at the crowd.

There are many people and ninjas in Liudao City now.

"It shouldn't be over a thousand ninjas, but it will definitely be more than last time. After all, the number of places in the knockout round has been doubled this time." Kakashi shook his head.

Even in the last Youth Martial Arts Tournament, some ninjas with the strength of a Jonin barely made it to the knockout rounds and were quickly eliminated.
