Chapter 518 The terrifying strength of Nagato (please vote for me)

After the battle with Nagato ended, Kakashi returned to the first division, waiting for the start of the second round, and also observed the ninjas in the first division.

Since Kakashi came back late, most of the first round was already underway, and Kakashi only watched a few games before the second round was about to begin.

Kakashi is very calm. According to his observations in several competition areas, the average strength of the Youth Budokai ninja is actually that of a chunin.

Let’s not talk about them, even Nohara Rin can easily enter the knockout round as long as she is not too unlucky and does not encounter a ninja like Nagato.

“It’s easier than expected.” Kakashi thought to himself.

In Kakashi’s original vision, the competition in the much-anticipated Budokai would be fierce, with many young geniuses from the five great ninja villages participating.

This is not the case. Among the more than two hundred participating ninjas, the ninjas from the five major ninja villages are actually a minority.

Kakashi knows the best about Konoha. There are a total of eighteen people participating.

Kakashi only saw Terumi Mei's team on the other side of Kirigakure, a total of six Kirigakure ninjas.

 Kakashi has encountered two new AB combinations during missions, so he knows a little bit about Kirabi’s strength.

“If it’s that Kirigakure, he should be able to bring out a little bit of Sand Crab’s true abilities.” Kakashi recalled the battle with Zabuza in his mind.

As expected by Kakashi, Sand Crab defeated Shuzo using only Taijutsu, without even using Chakra Lines.

“The first game of the second round, No. 1 Hatake Kakashi vs. No. 3 Yuji Komiyayama!”

Chirabina became famous at such a young age. When Kakashi was still a chuunin, Chirabina had already become famous in the ninja world together with the fourth generation Ai.

唰!

As soon as the referee finished speaking, Kakashi immediately concentrated his breathing and then pulled out his white teeth and charged like lightning.

Kakashi was a little disappointed when he saw that it was Sand Crab's opponent Shusan's turn to wear a Kusanagi protector on his head.

Shagakure Kakashi only saw one team, with only four Sunagakures in total.

“In the second game of the second round, No. 5 Momochi Zabuza is right…”

Kakashi estimated that Kirigakure sent out ninjas with the mentality that it was useless to him, but he could not let others take it away.

Hearing the referee's shout, Kakashi raised his head and looked towards the fighting field.

The number of Iwagakure is relatively large. Kakashi roughly calculated that there are about twenty-one people. It is a large ninja village with the most participating ninjas.

“Are you here to watch my fight? My sword is sharper now than before.”

After the battle, Kakashi did not hesitate and immediately rushed to the sixth division.

He killed his opponent so quickly because he was worried that he would be late and not see the sand crab battle.

“No. 1 repairs three vs. No. 3 sand crab!”

The power that Kakashi unleashed to protect and protect friendship during the Chunin Exam two years ago is something that Zabuza will never forget to this day.

Feeling Kakashi's gaze, Zabuza turned back to look at Kakashi.

"That's fine. If a ninja like Kirabi comes over, I'm afraid it won't be easy for Akai to deal with it." Kakashi nodded secretly.

Although there are not many people in Xiao Ninja Village who can be defeated, there are too few. Kakashi estimates that this time he may still not be able to see more tricks of the Sand Crab.

"start!"

Sand Crab is No. 3, which means it will be the first battle in the second round.

Kumogakure has the smallest number of people. Among the players, Kakashi only saw three Kumogakure ninjas, and he didn't see many other Kumogakure ninjas in the Six Paths Castle.

“Flash!”

Komiyayama Yuji sighed and walked up as if he was dead.

Nagato is behind the number, so there is no rush to go to the seventh division.

Kakashi believes that there are two main reasons why this situation occurs.

With the strength that Zabuza showed at that time, as long as he is not too lazy in the past two years, he should not be killed by sand crabs with taijutsu like the grass ninja.

The second one is how attractive the reward is to different ninja villages. Although Fire Dragon Ranbu now has the title of the strongest fire escape, the strongest fire escape is also the fire escape.

The players with numbers under eight couldn't help but sigh after looking at their own numbers. How could they fight? They were sure to lose in advance.

Kakashi stood quietly in the sixth division waiting for the start of the second round of battle.

Although the battle has not started yet, based on Kakashi's performance in the last game, the possibility of him winning is zero.

For example, in Kirigakure Village, there are very few people who use fire escape. The very few fire escape ninjas may not be able to learn the fire dragon dance. In this case, Kirigakure is unlikely to have much interest in youth martial arts.

The battle ended extremely quickly again.

But Komiyayama Yuji only felt a dazzling lightning flash in front of his eyes. He had just taken out the kunai, and the next moment the White Fang short blade was placed on his neck.

The first one is that the situation is tense during the war, and it is impossible for the Great Ninja Village to send too many young geniuses to participate in the Youth Martial Arts Festival.

Hearing the referee's shout, Kakashi suppressed his thoughts and walked onto the fighting field.

Fortunately, the pace of the battle in the Sixth Division is a little slower. When Kakashi went to the Sixth Division, the Sixth Division had not yet started the second round and was in the final battle of the first round.

Not to mention defeating Kakashi, Zabuza felt that he should be able to let Kakashi feel a little bit of the fun of fighting.

Different from the previous game, this time Kakashi’s instant kill was without any suspense, and in the last game there were still people who didn’t know Kakashi.

Zabuza has yet to meet someone worthy of protecting him with his life, but he has practiced very hard in the past two years.

Since there was still a lot of time before Nagato's battle, Kakashi went to take a look at the fourth division where Nohara Lin was.

 Before reaching the fourth division, Kakashi heard the sound of Obito cheering for Nohara Rin.

Kakashi looked at it for a while. Nohara Lin’s opponent was at the level of an ordinary chuunin. Nohara Lin only used ordinary Taijutsu to beat the opponent to the point where he was unable to fight back.

Kakashi was not surprised by this. Although Nohara Lin specializes in medical ninjutsu, her overall ability is a solid Konoha jounin. As long as she does not compare with Kakashi and the others, her strength is not weak.

Hello to the two of them, Kakashi quickly headed to the fifth division where Shisui was.

At this time, Shisui just finished the battle and walked down the fighting field. He saw Kakashi coming and said hello to Kakashi.

Kakashi responded and then asked: "Shisui, have you found any ninjas that need attention in the fifth division?"

Kakashi felt that Shisui should write down the information about ninjas who performed well.

“There is a Iwagakure ninja named Changshi who is not weak in strength and has the limit of Explosive Escape Blood Succession.” Shisui replied.

"But his number is very low, and he and I couldn't touch each other in the preliminaries." "I suspect that the ranking of this Budokai may not be completely random. They are trying to prevent strong ninjas from meeting each other before the elimination round." Shisui expressed his speculation.

“I have conducted surveys in several surrounding competition areas, and there is no such strong and evenly matched battle. It is either crushing or almost weak.”

"Your guess is correct." Kakashi nodded, and then told Shisui all the information he had.

“It seems that this ninja sect has quite a large intelligence network.”

It is normal to know the strength of geniuses in ninja villages in neighboring countries. If you know the strength of all young ninjas participating in the competition, you need intelligence capabilities.

Because geniuses do not necessarily have achievements. For example, before Kakashi and the others went to the battlefield, their reputation was not very famous even in Konoha Village, not to mention the Land of Fire and even the ninja world.

Even if there is a record, as long as it is not Mu Yue's level of record, there is no way to become famous in the ninja world. At most, the warring parties will become famous, and then the surrounding countries will spread to a certain extent.

Kakashi did not chat with Shisui for too long about the battle number. After all, this was generally more beneficial to them.

Thinking that it might be almost time for Nagato’s battle, Kakashi went to Division 7 to watch Nagato’s battle.

“The fifth battle of the second round, No. 17 is the same as No. 19 Nagato.”

 Kakashi silently mourned for a fraction of a second for the same attack. There was definitely no way to win against the same attack. Let's see if he could hold on a few more moves so that Kakashi could get more information about Nagato.

“It’s a strong enemy.” Ling Zu Lei took a deep breath and walked onto the battlefield with a serious face.

“Similar, come on!” Kakashi encouraged, hoping that Simeon could persist for a little longer.

"Since Kakashi, you have come to cheer for me, I can't let you down too much." Ningzu Lei was a little surprised to hear Kakashi's voice.

After the battle started, Mizurai immediately retreated and formed two shadow clones. The shadow clones, one on the left and one on the right, rushed towards Nagato in unison in order to create an opportunity for the main body to attack.

At this time, Nagato also created a shadow clone. Both the main body and the shadow clone formed seals quickly with no expression on their faces.

“Fire Escape·Head Hard Work!”

“Wind Escape·Press Harm!”

Nagato's body spit out a compressed fireball in the center of the battle field. As soon as the fireball hit the ground, the compressed flames inside it burst out instantly, creating a sea of ​​​​fire.

Immediately afterwards, the shadow clone spit out a high-pressure wind ball. When the wind ball hit the sea of ​​​​fire, it turned into a large-scale storm. The wind helped the fire. The fire in the sea of ​​​​fire immediately became extremely terrifying and engulfed the two shadow clones.

Bingzu Lei's eyes widened, and the hand holding the long knife almost lost its grip and let the knife fall to the ground.

What kind of excellent matching mechanism allows him to fight against opponents of this level?

"Referee, I abstain." Bingzu Lei raised his hands and gave up before the sea of ​​​​fire spread.

If he could get close to Nagato, he might still be able to fight as he was good at physical skills, but his speed was obviously not fast enough to rush to Nagato and give him a blow before Nagato released his ninjutsu.

“Nagato wins!” the referee announced the result of the battle.

"The fire escape is no worse than the wind escape, and he can combine ninjutsu." Kakashi silently wrote down the new information, further increasing Nagato's danger level.

Kakashi stayed in the seventh division until the end of the second round before returning to his first division.

 Kakashi quickly dealt with his opponent as before and then quickly rushed to the sixth division where the sand crab was.

Now Kakashi has some information about Nagato, but Sand Crab is really well hidden, except for a chakra line in his hand, which is ordinary Taijutsu.

Zabuza noticed that Kakashi had come to watch the battle again, and he subconsciously puffed up his chest as he walked towards the battle venue.

“The battle begins!”

“The Art of Kirigakure!”

As soon as the battle started, Zabuza immediately burst out chakra and spit out thick mist to cover his sight.

He has also seen the battle between sand crabs and knows that the opponent is difficult to deal with, so Zabuza goes all out as soon as he comes up.

Kakashi frowned slightly. As the secret art of Kirigakure Village, the Kirigakure Jutsu has a very high upper limit. Not only Obito's Sharingan cannot see through it, but his transparent world is also the same.

At this time, Kakashi could not see the battle scene in the thick fog, and could only judge the general situation of their battle based on the sound.

"Is there no way to deal with the thick fog, or is there no problem if you don't deal with it?" Seeing that the thick fog had not dissipated for a minute, Kakashi couldn't decide in his heart which possibility it was.

Another minute passed, and the sound of fierce fighting sounded. The thick fog gradually dissipated, revealing Zabuza who had fallen to the ground and the intact sand crab.

Kakashi felt helpless. It was not easy to collect information. After watching three games, there was nothing useful. The only thing that was certain was that the sand crab was not weak.

Kakashi looked at it for a while and felt that he should be able to collect useful information in the fourth game.

The fourth round is the last round of the qualifiers. The strength of the ninja who wins the fourth round will not be too bad. And according to the serial number, the opponent of the sand crab in the last battle will be Iwagakure. If he doesn't start, he will create a fog to obscure his vision. .

Nagato's opponent in the third round was also average in strength. Nagato still relied on the combination of wind and fire ninjutsu to kill his opponent instantly. Kakashi did not get any new information.

After the end of the third round, instead of entering the final fourth round immediately, there was a three-hour intermission, and then the final round three hours later.

Kakashi and others used this intermission to eat together and exchange information with each other.

Kakashi first told all the information he had collected, and then waited for the other disciples to answer.

“It turns out that there are other members of the Akatsuki organization who also participated in the Budokai. I saw the leader of the Akatsuki organization, Yahiko, in my competition area.” Obito said after hearing Kakashi talk about Nagato’s information.

"He seems to be good at water escape ninjutsu. I've only seen one of his battles, so I'm not particularly clear." Obito said honestly.

Kakashi looked at him with some suspicion. He thought that Obito would spend all his time in the competition area where Nohara Lin was, but he didn't expect that Obito still collected intelligence, although not much.

After Obito finished speaking, Nohara Rin and Shisui also talked about the situation of their respective competition areas.

“I feel like there aren’t any noteworthy opponents in the division I’m in.” Metkay touched his chin and thought seriously.

Metkay looks like no one can catch his golden skyline in the eighth division.

If Obito said this, Kakashi would think that Obito was pretending, but if it was Metkai who said this, there is really nothing wrong with him.

After all, Metkai's full power and combined use of the Eight Gate Dungeon and Rock Breathing Chakra modes are more powerful than the Four Ninja Swordsmen.

After the start of the fourth round, since Sand Crab was also the first game, Kakashi directly separated a shadow clone to collect intelligence in the sixth competition area, and returned to the first competition area to compete in order to prevent missing key information.

PS: Please double the monthly votes. There is also a 4k chapter that will be released around one o'clock.

I checked it today and found that there was an error in yesterday's content, which has been corrected.

Kakashi has actually met Nagato, but they haven’t communicated with each other. Yahiko and Obito have also met, but only Shisui has met Konan.
