The few who had been hiding until now were wiped out by a single Tailed Beast Ball.
The Eight-Tails, having exhausted its energy, was entangled by Wood Release and was once again unable to move.
This time, the others were all driven back, and no one had time to save him.
Nagato descended from the sky, stepping onto the Eight-Tails.
"Eight-tailed creature, captured."
He was about to press his palm down.
In the west, the last rays of sunlight sank into the mountains.
A crimson barrier shot into the sky with tremendous force, instantly bringing everyone to a halt.
Nagato realized something and suddenly accelerated, trying to unleash the seal.
"Time's up, eighty-two people remain."
The sound appeared right next to his ear.
Uchiha Kagami hovered behind Nagato, his voice indifferent and condescending.
"The first match is over. What else do you want to do, Nagato?"
Nagato's hand remained frozen for a few seconds.
Finally, he slowly straightened up.
Chapter 152, the first martial arts competition, has ended.
Uchiha Kagami stood there quietly.
Lacking the strength of a shadow, they couldn't even see his figure directly; they could only sense a void.
It was as if time had been forcibly paused, and everything remained frozen at the moment he appeared.
Minato Namikaze and Hashirama Senju appeared beside him.
Looking around, Minato shook his head with a wry smile: "The ecosystem of this area has been completely destroyed..."
Even if Hashirama Senju's Wood Release could be used to rebuild the greenery, the dead animals would not be able to be brought back to life.
Restoring the site to its pre-damage state would be a project that would take at least twenty years.
"Mirror, should I use the Tree World Advent technique now?"
Hashirama Senju felt sorry for him too.
This area is the forest that he and Ban saw on the rock face.
"Being not."
Uchiha Kagami's gaze shifted, landing on Shisui atop the crow.
To be honest, Shisui's performance was mediocre and did not satisfy him.
If he still cannot complete the transformation in the second round, Jing will have to take forceful measures.
The eight-tailed creature slowly shrank, leaving the group without a foothold.
Both Kagami and Nagato possess the ability to levitate, and they descended slowly.
Minato Namikaze and Hashirama teleported to the bottom, and the survivors slowly gathered there.
A supported Killer Bee, his gaze complex as he watched Uchiha Kagami's retreating figure.
This man, who killed his father, had just saved his brother.
Although he knew that saving Killer Bee was not out of kindness from Uchiha Kagami, but simply because Killer Bee was lucky enough to survive until sunset.
"elder brother……"
"Lord Jing."
Shisui and Ryusei approached Uchiha Kagami, lowering their heads in shame.
Shisui challenged the Raikage of the Central Plains in a one-on-one battle, causing unrest among the ninjas of the two great nations. Despite accomplishing this, Shisui knew it still fell short of his brother's expectations.
Uchiha Shisui had his own pride, and he set his own standards on Uchiha Kagami, who also taught him the same thing.
Even though Jing was several years younger than him, he was already chasing and killing these people, while he still had to rely on the Flying Thunder God Technique to deal with them.
Seeing Shisui's state, Kagami sighed softly.
"Don't let me down next time."
Those who heard this were speechless.
At the age of seventeen, he defeated a Kage-level ninja, demonstrating unparalleled talent and strength.
What exactly are you disappointed about?!
Uchiha Kagami couldn't explain what he was disappointed about.
Unlike Itachi Uchiha, he didn't plan every step of Sasuke's life.
He set up a stage, hoping that Shisui would undergo a transformation in battle and that he could lend him a hand when he ascended to the Kaleidoscope realm.
He gave Zhishui some start-up capital, hoping he would achieve something.
At crucial moments, such as when it goes public, give it another push.
However, there is no such sign at present.
His development leaned towards that of an ordinary ninja, much like Minato.
It has been in an upward trend and is very stable.
The Uchiha clan shouldn't be a stable one.
Because of their special bloodline, the Uchiha clan's strength experienced explosive growth in stages.
Even with three tomoe, Kagami Uchiha couldn't be considered the strongest among the Kage. However, after obtaining the four tomoe Mangekyou Sharingan, he instantly became the strongest in the world, and even Madara Uchiha was so afraid of him that he moved away.
If... Zhishui still hasn't found this opportunity in the next step...
Then we'll just have to do it a few more times.
What else can we do but give up on stopping the water?
Uchiha Kagami flicked his finger and released a point of Yang Release chakra, which healed Shisui's injuries.
"Now that everyone's here, let's not waste any more time and start the second round."
Do you really want to say something like that before you start treating your brother?
Are they openly and honestly engaging in shady dealings?
We don't need treatment, we don't need time to recover our chakra?
However, no one dared to object. They quickly took advantage of the time while Uchiha Kagami was explaining the rules to receive treatment and to refine their chakra.
"I will place ten tokens at the venue of the second event, which will last for two days. The ten people who possess the tokens can participate in the third event."
Uchiha Kagami opened his palm, revealing a deep blue crystal in the center.
A rich aura of energy spread out, containing extremely powerful chakra.
Scorpion couldn't help but speak. He was all too familiar with this energy; he had spent ten years with it day and night, and had only just lost it.
The energy contained in this crystal is more than he used in ten years!
This is the crystallization of the dragon vein!!
Glancing at him, Jing said calmly, "This is a fragment of a dragon vein crystal, containing about one-thirtieth of the energy of a complete crystal."
"Consider this a reward for those who advanced in the second round. After seeing you fight so hard, it would be a shame not to give you something first."
You're still embarrassed...
Scorpion stared intently at the crystal.
Just one-thirtieth of it... is more than I used in ten years...
He gained a more concrete understanding of the gap between himself and Uchiha Kagami.
"Mirror, I have a question."
Jiraiya raised his hand and asked, "You said there are ten people who possess the tokens, so does that mean a team can possess multiple tokens?"
"If a team collects all ten tokens, can they just declare the match over?"
Uchiha Kagami stuffed the crystal back into his pocket and said indifferently, "If a team can grab all ten scattered tokens, then let's end it here."
Looking around, Jing said calmly, "I have done my best to take care of the weak. If you can't even preserve a keepsake for two days, then you might as well abandon your unrealistic fantasies and die."
"Don't feel it's unfair. To be honest, you should feel honored that Nagato is willing to compete against you."
Nagato possesses Wood Release and abundant chakra.
He had already reached Uchiha Kagami's standard for a strong person, and his words implied recognition of his strength.
Nagato, who had been feeling resentful, relaxed his furrowed brows upon hearing these words.
Uchiha Kagami paused for a moment, his gaze sweeping over the crowd. Their clothes were unusually neat, making them look more like tourists than combatants compared to most others.
Sensing Uchiha Kagami's gaze, the group immediately stepped forward in perfect unison.
Xuanhuo, Yunjian, the Hyuga brothers, as well as Tekka, Uchiha Izumi, and others.
There were more than ten people.
They must be the team protecting Zhishui.
Many people were thinking this to themselves.
Shisui himself wouldn't think that way. As a fellow ocular ninja, if he had such a group of people around him, he would have noticed them long ago.
"You can leave now, we don't need you for the second round."
Uchiha Kagami's gaze shifted, and he said calmly, "Let me make it clear beforehand, the survival rate won't be this high in the second round."
"Those who want to withdraw can say so now."
Ohnoki breathed a sigh of relief. The second match followed immediately after the first, and he thought there wouldn't be any more withdrawals.
He shoved Deidara: "You should withdraw from the competition."
"Huh?! Old man, I haven't even killed anyone yet, and you're already telling me to withdraw from the competition!"
The quiet atmosphere was suddenly shattered.
He tried to shout something, but suddenly his throat felt blocked, and he couldn't make a sound.
He turned around with difficulty and found that it was his former enemy, Uchiha Shisui, with his back to him.
Shisui forced a smile: "Brother, he's just a brat with a loud voice, let him off this time."
Deidara was stunned as he looked at Shisui's back.
In his field of vision.
He only had a pair of scarlet, beautiful Sharingan eyes.
As the crimson glow that blotted out the sky faded, Uchiha Kagami's calm voice rang out.
"I'm not a bad person, I just wanted to teach him a little lesson."
"Since you've brought it up, then let's just forget about it."
Chapter 153 Summoning Technique - Shikkotsu Forest
"Lord Jing, we also want to withdraw."
Yakushi Kabuto led Gaara by the hand, with Yamato following behind him.
He started adopting orphans at such a young age; no wonder he's Yakushi Nonou's adopted son.
What? You're saying Gaara isn't an orphan?
With a father like that, he'd be better off as an orphan.
Seeing that Kabuto was about to take Gaara away, Rasa panicked.
