If Naruto got any closer to Hinata, she would blush and faint, so he didn't insist on hearing her clearly.
Picking up a bento box that was almost as tall as him, Naruto rushed to Sasuke's side.
"Sasuke, you're too weak! Your bento is only this small!"
"Mine has fourteen layers! A full fourteen layers!"
Sasuke ignored him, which made Karin anxious.
He stepped forward and nudged Naruto's shoulder: "Naruto! Do you have any complaints about the bento I made?"
Naruto's momentum immediately deflated.
"No, Karin-nee..."
When facing Karin, Naruto felt like he was facing a miniature version of his mother; she was terrifying when she got angry.
"Alright, you guys hurry up and finish eating and rest for a while. We still have training this afternoon."
A boy wearing black-rimmed glasses and with his silver-gray hair tied back approached.
Beside him was a kind-looking young man.
"Yamato-nii, Kabuto-nii," Sasuke asked, shoveling food into his mouth. "Didn't you say Shisui-nii would be back today? Hasn't he come yet?"
With a faint smile, Kabuto said, "Shisui went to the Hokage Building to report on his mission first."
"He'll probably come with Lord Kagami."
"Master is coming too!"
Naruto shuddered, remembering the trauma of being smashed to pieces.
"Hmm, it seems like I have something to announce."
As the conversation continued, more and more people gathered around.
Eating together is more fun, and you can also see what other people's bento boxes contain that you like to eat.
Uchiha Izumi, Uchiha Tetsuka, and Inahisa naturally sat down next to Sasuke.
"Hinata, what are you doing here? Let's go together."
Hyuga Neji put on his outer garment, revealing skin covered in scars.
On his exposed forehead, there was only sweat from training.
"Neji-nii..."
Neji knew his sister too well, so he didn't bother to explain and simply dragged her to Naruto's side.
A group of people sat together, some chatting and laughing, others engrossed in their food.
Hinata was quiet; she had already eaten at home.
It's not convenient to bring food for about fifty people to the training ground.
Apart from Kabuto Yakushi, everyone present was either a bloodline ninja or had a special bloodline, making them a super elite team assembled by Kagami Uchiha.
However, only Naruto, Sasuke, and Karin are formal disciples.
Minato Namikaze accepted Shisui as his disciple, making him his only formal disciple.
He also requested that Uchiha Kagami accept Naruto Uzumaki as his disciple.
Yes, Naruto's surname is still Uzumaki.
Although Chiho and Karin are from the Uzumaki clan, they no longer use that surname.
To make Kushina less lonely, Minato decided that Naruto would take the surname Uzumaki.
They also planned to have their second child's surname be Bofeng.
She has great talent. Despite the treatment she received in the original timeline and the fact that she never had a proper chance to cultivate, she still managed to develop considerable strength.
If she had been born a decade or more earlier, Madara might have chosen her to nurture his Rinnegan.
Of the current trio, Karin is actually the strongest.
While Sasuke and Naruto were still in the foundational stage, she had already started using the Adamantine Sealing Chains technique.
There's also an even younger Konohamaru who will join the training camp next year.
Not only Minato and Sakumo, but all the Konoha Jonin gathered together.
Uchiha Kagami sat in the head seat, resting his chin on one hand, and spoke calmly.
"Announce this to the ninja world."
"The Land of Fire does not recognize any of the titles of Kage except for Hashirama Senju, Minato Namikaze, and Sakumo Hatake."
"I have decided to hold the Great Ninja World Tournament."
"Redefining the ranks of ninjas."
Chapter 117 Ninja World Martial Arts Tournament
The Land of Wind, Hidden Fire Village.
Wood Shadow Office.
Hashirama Senju and the others gathered together, listening to Jiraiya's words.
"Apart from the First Generation Lord, everyone can participate in this martial arts competition. The winner will receive a very generous reward and a title publicly recognized by the Land of Fire."
Qianju Feijian snorted coldly.
"Is it up to him to decide when or not it becomes a shadow?"
"It's just an upgraded version of the Joint Chunin Exams, something I've already mastered."
Jiraiya shook his head with a serious expression.
"It's still not quite the same..."
"At least the Second Hokage, the Third Hokage, and Orochimaru, you absolutely must participate."
“If you don’t participate, Jing said… he will send you back to the Pure Land.”
"Why!!"
Jiraiya helplessly shrugged: "The same goes for those in the Four Nations Alliance. Anyone with a Kage title must participate."
"Kyo-kun, are you going to do a screening to see who is worth keeping..." Orochimaru said calmly.
"Does he already intend to unify the ninja world?"
Jiraiya shook his head: "I don't know, I'm just a messenger. By the way, Orochimaru, Tsunade."
"You should also inform the holy land of your contract later."
"Ryuchi Cave and Shikkotsu Forest will also participate. I have already informed Mt. Myoboku. Fukasaku and Shima will also participate."
"If we don't participate, will the Holy Land be attacked?"
Jiraiya nodded with a wry smile: "That's what 'Mirror' means."
Orochimaru pondered for a moment, then grinned and said, "Judging from Mirror-kun's personality, the reward must be very generous."
Tsunade frowned at Orochimaru: "You really want to participate in this martial arts competition? It might be a trap set by Uchiha Kagami to lure you in!"
"No, Mirror-kun wouldn't stoop to such a thing," Orochimaru shook his head and said calmly.
"First, we need to understand one thing."
“Jing Jun originally possessed the strength to destroy all the major forces single-handedly.”
“Not all first-generation masters at their peak possessed such power, let alone Mirror Lord.”
"I think... choosing such a competition to select those who are qualified to survive is more in line with his personality."
thump... thump...
Hashirama Senju remained silent, tapping the table with a somber expression.
"Let's not talk about that now, why can't I participate!"
"I want to go to the Land of Fire too!"
"Uh... I'm sorry, First Generation Lord, I forgot to tell you first."
Jiraiya handed an invitation to Hashirama Senju.
"Mirror invites you as a distinguished guest to the ceremony. You are the Wood Shadow recognized by the Land of Fire."
Hashirama Senju accepted the invitation and glanced at Tobirama with a hint of smugness.
"Tobirama, you guys go ahead. It's rare that Kagami has allowed you to enter the Land of Fire as participants."
It seems inevitable...
Tobirama sighed and asked, "What is the reward?"
Jiraiya took out a list.
"The martial arts demonstration is roughly divided into three stages, but I don't know the specifics."
"If you pass the first two stages, you will be rewarded with silver, supplies, and ninjutsu."
"In the final stage, there will be five spots, and the winners..."
"Let me clarify first, I will be participating in the competition with two sages from Mount Myōboku, and there are no such restrictions in the rules."
"I'm really tempted too..."
All eyes were drawn to the top of the list.
First, it's an officially recognized title from the Land of Fire, plus a prize of two billion taels.
In addition, you can choose two items from the grand prize pool.
I. The Secret Scroll of Slaying Escape Techniques.
II. Wood Release Training Scroll + Flying Thunder God Technique
III. Melting Escape Cultivation Scroll + Eight Trigrams Seal
IV. Dragon Vein Crystallization
V. Yin-Yang Escape Technique
VI. Hatake Sword Technique + Eight Gates Formation + Uchiha Style Ninjutsu
"How...how dare he...are he serious...?"
Even Tobirama Senju couldn't hide his surprise.
Intelligence is the lifeblood of a ninja.
These rewards included the signature ninjutsu of the three giants of the Land of Fire.
If hostile forces obtained these things, wouldn't they be able to develop targeted ninjutsu?
This is a direct counterattack against Dust Release, the strongest Kekkei Tota!
The Yin-Yang Release technique was something Tobirama Senju had personally experienced; it was practically the bane of ninjas.
He didn't know what Dragon Vein Crystal was, but since it was a standalone option, it must have been on par with the Slash Escape technique.
"Wood Release and Flying Thunder God Technique are ours!!" Tobirama Senju roared angrily.
"Tobirama, you're still so calculating. What does it matter?"
Hashirama patted his younger brother on the shoulder: "Besides, I think Minato's Flying Thunder God Technique is even faster than yours..."
"Shut up, brother!"
"Yin-Yang Release... I really want it." Orochimaru licked his lips, his eyes filled with deep longing.
He had a premonition that if he could learn Yin-Yang Escape, the art of immortality would reach a more perfect state.
Tobirama Senju stared at the slashing technique.
He had never personally experienced Uchiha Kagami's slash, but judging from the name, it was his most proficient technique.
