"Master Xiuyi, from what I have seen in the past few days, the strength of this planet seems to be very average. Why do we have to go to such trouble to test it? If it's just that traitor, I can handle it by myself, right?"
In a deserted area of the Ninja World, a tall, muscular man asked the tall and thin man next to him in confusion.
Otsutsuki Shuichi glanced at Otsutsuki Kurashiki indifferently, thinking that he should transform his guardian's brain after being promoted to the elite team. Speaking without thinking will only offend people, but doing things without thinking will kill people.
"Don't judge things by appearances. If this planet is really as ordinary as it appears, then the previous team would not have failed."
As he spoke, Otsutsuki Shuichi raised his hand slightly, and the loose sand on the ground instantly flew in front of the two of them and hovered motionlessly.
"This planet has already been planted with a sacred tree once, and the fact that it still has such vitality shows that this planet has great potential."
Otsutsuki Shuichi put down his hand, and the mud and sand that had lost its support instantly returned to the ground.
"And since Kaguya Otsutsuki dared to betray, she must have something to rely on." Otsutsuki Shuichi looked into the distance, his eyes deep and cold.
Kaguya Ōtsutsuki has been away from the Ōtsutsuki for thousands of years, and her current strength is unknown.
"It would be interesting if the traitor really relies on the natives of the planet. No matter how strong the natives are, they can only be at the initial god level at most. By then, there will be no need for you, Master Shuuichi, to take action." Otsutsuki Kurashiki laughed contemptuously.
Otsutsuki Kurashiki just thought that Otsutsuki Shuichi was overthinking it. Kaguya and the others were just newcomers who were on a mission for the first time, and they were about to be promoted to the Otsutsuki elite.
However, Otsutsuki Kurashiki has gotten used to it. Otsutsuki Shuichi often fights wits and courage with the air like this, and wastes a lot of time. Otherwise, with Otsutsuki Shuichi's strength, he would have been promoted to elite long ago.
He could obviously just attack and defeat the enemy directly, but he insisted on finding some people from the natives and recruiting them as his subordinates, and then went with him to participate in the so-called Ninja Martial Arts Tournament to test the strength of the number one person in the Ninja World.
He is just a native of a backward planet. He hasn’t even left his planet yet, so how powerful can he be
… …
The Land of Fire, the venue of the Ninja Martial Arts Tournament.
At this time, this huge venue, which can accommodate tens of thousands of people, is already full of people.
Most of them are ninjas who want to improve by observing the battles of the strong ones.
There are also some ordinary people who are very interested in ninja battles and come to watch the battles just to feel the atmosphere.
Taking into account the viewing experience of ordinary people, there is a huge screen broadcast in the venue, and there are dedicated anchors to analyze and explain the battle during the battle.
Those who didn’t get tickets can also watch the live broadcast online and post comments to cheer for their favorite contestants.
"Please invite the contestants for the first battle to enter."
"Please invite all the contestants to enter the venue."
"Please invite contestant Ryuichi Tachikawa to enter the venue."
Following the announcement, Kakuzu quickly flashed into the arena, ready to start the fight.
To Kakuzu's surprise, his opponent's speed was almost the same as his, and he also reached the field in an instant.
"I am the commentator, Steel."
"I am the commentator Kamatsuki Izumo."
"I am the commentator Ma Buyi."
The three commentators also briefly introduced themselves.
"Kakuzu is a veteran in the ninja world. He has been active since the early days of the Ninja Village Era. He is also an acquaintance in our martial arts tournament. This is his third time entering the finals. He is a very strong player." Before the competition officially started, Kamijou Izumo began to introduce the players.
"It is said that Kakuzu once attempted to assassinate the Ninja God of Kiyomura, Hashirama Senju, but was defeated in the end. The Ninja God did not kill him because of his considerable strength. Is this true?" Ma Buyi asked with a smile, beginning to liven up the atmosphere.
Hearing this, Gang Zitie couldn't help but laugh.
It is not known whether this rumor was spread by Kakuzu himself when he was drunk or by that dishonest person, but when Kakuzu participated in the martial arts tournament for the first time, all the contestants felt like they were facing a formidable enemy.
Even in today's era, the Ninja God Senju Hashirama has never been underestimated by anyone. An existence recognized by him and still alive today should not be underestimated.
It was not until Kakuzu was defeated that everyone realized that although Kakuzu was not weak, he was only at the level of Kage. When Hashirama fought Kakuzu, it was almost certain that Kakuzu was killed in seconds. How could it be a close defeat
However, due to the development of the Internet, the legend of Kakuzu has spread very widely, and finally became a meme.
People watching the live broadcast started to post comments.
"It's a pity to lose. I threw a shuriken from 800 miles away, then tripped over a tree root and said, 'As expected of the God of Ninjas.'"
"A bloodbath caused by a shuriken."
"Kakuzu, if you need courage, you have courage. If you need strength, you have courage."
The cornerman in the arena's face turned dark when he heard what Ma Buyi said. He could already imagine how he would be commented on online.
Kakuzu was already cursing Ma Buyi in his heart, why did he have to bring up this? Wasn't he deliberately insulting an old man like him
"Although this is Ryuichi Tachikawa's first time participating in a martial arts tournament, he performed very well and is also a very strong player." Gang Zitie quickly adjusted his expression and began to introduce Kakuzu's opponent.
However, since Ryuichi Tachikawa has no other achievements besides participating in this martial arts tournament, there is nothing much to talk about.
With the commentator's introduction, the official competition began.
Kakuzu's eyes flickered. Today he must prove himself!
Because he offered the secret technique of Earth Grudge, Kakuzu also got an opportunity to further his studies, helping the Ninja Alliance and learning the secret technique of Haki.
And just a year ago, Kakuzu finally realized the Armament Haki, which was so vital to him.
With the tentacles of the Earthly Blame and the armed Haki, Kakudu is confident that he can clash with the Five Kage.
"Earth's resentment!"
The moment the match began, Kakuzu directly used his favorite secret technique, Di Yuan Yu, and a large number of black tentacles burst out from behind him and two masks appeared on his shoulders.
Compared to Kakuzu's grand display, Tachikawa Ryuichi's side was much simpler, with just a few more tattoos on his body and chakra aura bursting out from his entire body.
"Yurihua, who do you think will win?" Ino asked Yurihua beside her.
"Tachikawa Ryuichi." Yurihua replied, "That guy is a bit weird, his aura is different from that of ordinary ninjas."
Yurihua inherited the Uzumaki clan's keen perception ability very well, and she vaguely felt the weirdness of Tachikawa Ryuichi.
Ino looked at Tachikawa Ryuichi's tattoo and nodded, saying, "This guy is indeed a bit weird."
"Compound Ninja Technique: Flame Wind Wave!"
The masks on Kakuzu's shoulders spit out a sea of fire, one at a time, and a ball of wind at the same time. In a very short period of time, they created a world of fire that enveloped the entire ring, and the fierce flames submerged Tachikawa Ryuichi.
"This is a textbook combination of ninjutsu. You are worthy of being a veteran in the ninja world. Now Tachikawa Ryuichi is in trouble." Kamatsuki Izumo praised.
As if intentionally to slap Kamijou Izumo in the face, a figure with chakra burning all over his body slowly walked out from the sea of fire.
The flames covering the ring seemed like a false illusion and failed to cause any harm to Ryuichi Tachikawa.
Tachikawa Ryuichi's next move surprised the commentary audience and Kakuzu who was fighting.
Ryuichi Tachikawa suddenly showed extreme speed and appeared next to Kakuzu in an instant. He punched Kakuzu in the stomach and directly broke one of Kakuzu's masks.
"What a fast speed." Luo Sha looked at Tachikawa Ryuichi with a somewhat weird expression and thought of a bad thing that happened in the past.
"Raikage, do you think you can exceed this speed?" asked the Fourth Mizukage.
"If it's just the speed shown at the moment, then it's okay." The Raikage didn't dare to be too confident. After all, according to Nagase's information, these "strong men" who suddenly appeared were not simple.
"Damn it!" Kakuzu's eyes widened, feeling a little unbelievable.
He immediately controlled the tentacles to attack Ryuichi Tachikawa, but the tentacles strengthened by the armament color were actually directly broken up by Ryuichi Tachikawa's fist.
Ryuichi Tachikawa took advantage of the situation and hit Kakuzu with another simple punch, killing him.
Kakuzu's eyelids were twitching wildly, and he couldn't bear to endure it in his heart.
He could sense that the opponent in front of him had no skills at all, he was simply bursting out chakra and punching, but it was such a simple and unpretentious operation that could ignore his exquisite combination of ninjutsu.
"I give up!"
"Tachikawa Ryuichi wins!"
The spectators were all stunned and confused. Some of them didn’t even open the snack bags before the fight was over.
It was a huge upset. Although Kakuzu was not a top-level warrior, he was still a well-known warrior in the ninja world. It was really surprising that he was killed instantly and surrendered by a ninja who had no reputation at all before participating in the martial arts tournament.
"As expected of him, he never disappoints anyone when it comes to disappointing others."
"We lost in the first round, which set a new record."
The audience who were watching the live broadcast also expressed their opinions.
