Chapter 518: The Terrifying Power of Nagato (Asking for Monthly Votes)

After Nagato's battle, Kakashi returned to the first division, waiting for the second round to start, and observing the ninjas in the first division.

Because Kakashi came back late, the first round had already been played for most of the time. Kakashi only watched a few games, and the second round was about to start.

Kakashi was very calm. According to his observations in several divisions, the average strength of the ninjas in the Youth Martial Arts Tournament was actually a Chunin.

Let alone them, even Nohara Rin, as long as she was not too unlucky and did not meet a ninja like Nagato, she could easily enter the knockout round.

"It's easier than I thought." Kakashi thought.

In Kakashi's original idea, the competition in the highly anticipated martial arts tournament should be very fierce, and there would be many young talents from the five major ninja villages participating.

But the fact is not so. Among the more than 200 participating ninjas, the ninjas from the five major ninja villages are actually a minority.

Kakashi is the most clear about Konoha, with a total of 18 participants.

On the Kirigakure side, Kakashi only saw the team of Mei Terumi, a total of six Kirigakure ninjas.

Kakashi only saw one team of Sand Village, with only four Sand Village members.

The number of Rock Village members was much larger. Kakashi roughly calculated that there were about 21 members, which was the largest ninja village with the most participating ninjas.

Kumogakure had the fewest members. Kakashi only saw three Kumogakure ninjas among the contestants, and he did not see many other Kumogakure ninjas in the Six Paths Castle.

Kakashi believed that there were two main reasons for this situation.

The first was that the situation was tense during the war, and it was impossible for the big ninja villages to send too many young talents to participate in the Youth Martial Arts Tournament.

The second was the attractiveness of the rewards to different ninja villages. Although the Fire Dragon Dance was now known as the strongest fire escape, the strongest fire escape was still fire escape.

For example, in the Kirigakure Village, there were very few people who used fire escape, and those few fire escape ninjas might not be able to learn the Fire Dragon Dance. In this case, Kirigakure would not have much interest in the Youth Martial Arts Tournament.

Kakashi estimated that Kirigakure sent out ninjas with the mentality that they were useless, but they could not let others take them away.

"That's good. If a ninja like Killer Bee comes, I'm afraid Kai won't be able to deal with him either." Kakashi nodded secretly.

Killer Bee really became famous at a young age. When Kakashi was still a Chunin, Killer Bee had already become famous in the ninja world together with the fourth generation Ai.

Kakashi had encountered the new AB combination twice during the mission, so he knew a little about Killer Bee's strength.

"The first match of the second round, No. 1 Hatake Kakashi vs. No. 3 Komiyama Yuuji!"

Hearing the referee's call, Kakashi suppressed his thoughts and walked onto the battlefield.

Komiyama Yuuji sighed and walked up to the battlefield with a fearless attitude.

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

"Start!"

"Flash!"

Swish!

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

Komiya Yuuji only felt a dazzling flash of lightning 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 battle ended again very quickly.

Unlike the last game, this time Kakashi's instant kill was no suspense, and in the last game, some people didn't know Kakashi.

The players below number eight looked at their numbers and couldn't help but sigh. How can they still fight? They were locked in defeat in advance.

After the battle, Kakashi didn't hesitate and rushed to the sixth competition area immediately.

He killed his opponent so quickly because he was worried that he would miss the battle of the sand crab if he went too late.

The sand crab was number three, which means it would be the first battle of the second round.

Fortunately, the battle rhythm of the sixth competition area was a little slower. When Kakashi went to the sixth competition area, the second round had not started yet, and the last battle of the first round was in progress.

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

Nagato's number was later, so he was not in a hurry to go to the seventh competition area.

"Number One Shusan vs. Number Three Sand Crab!"

Kakashi was a little disappointed when he saw the Kusa Ninja forehead protector on Shusan's head, who was now Sand Crab's opponent.

Although there were some capable fighters in the small ninja village, there were too few of them. Kakashi estimated that he might not see more of Sand Crab's tricks this time.

As Kakashi expected, Sand Crab defeated Shusan with just physical skills, and did not even use the chakra line.

"Round Two, Match Two, Number Five Momochi Zabuza vs..."

Hearing the referee's shout, Kakashi looked up at the battle field.

"If it was that Kirigakure, he should be able to force Sand Crab to show some of his true abilities." Kakashi recalled the battle with Zabuza in his mind.

With the strength Zabuza showed at that time, as long as he was not too lazy in the past two years, he should not be killed by Sand Crab with physical skills like Kusa Ninja.

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

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

Zabuza still remembers the power Kakashi showed to protect his friendship during the Chunin Exam two years ago.

Zabuza has not met the one who deserves his life to protect, but he has been training very hard in the past two years.

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

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

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

Kakashi watched 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 without any ability 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.

After greeting the two, 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 record the information of those 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 can't touch each other in the qualifiers."

"I suspect that the ranking of this martial arts club may not be completely random. They are trying to prevent strong ninjas from meeting before the elimination round." Shisui expressed his speculation.

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

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

"It seems that this ninja sect has a large intelligence network."

It is normal to know the strength of the geniuses in the ninja villages in the surrounding countries. Knowing the strength of all the young ninjas participating in the competition requires 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 party will become famous, and then the surrounding countries will spread it to a certain extent.

Kakashi didn't 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 and No. 19 Nagato."

Kakashi mourned for tenths of a second in his heart for Hakashi Raido. There was definitely no way to win Hakashi Raido. He just wanted to see if he could hold on for a few more moves so that Kakashi could get more information about Nagato.

"It's a powerful enemy." Bingzu Leitong took a deep breath and walked onto the battlefield with a serious look.

"Raydo, come on!" Kakashi encouraged, hoping that Hido can hold on for a little longer.

"Since Kakashi you are here to cheer for me, I can't let you down too much." Namizu Raito 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 to create an opportunity for the main body to attack.

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

"Fire Escape·Tou Ke Ku!"

"Wind Escape·Press!"

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 assisted the fire, and the fire in the sea of ​​​​fire immediately became extremely terrifying, engulfing 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 give up." Bing Zu Lei raised his hands and surrendered 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 as good as the wind escape, and he can combine ninjutsu." Kakashi silently wrote down the new information, further increasing Nagato's danger level.

Next, 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 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. Apart from a chakra line, it is just ordinary Taijutsu.

Zabuza found that Kakashi came to watch the battle again, and subconsciously puffed up his chest as he walked towards the fighting venue.

"The battle begins!"

"Kirigakure no Jutsu!"

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

He had also seen the battle between sand crabs and knew that the opponent was difficult to deal with, so he went all out as soon as Zabuza came 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 also his transparent world.

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 we don't deal with it?" Seeing that the thick fog had not dissipated for a minute, Kakashi couldn't decide which possibility it was.

Another minute later, there were fierce fighting sounds, and the thick fog gradually dissipated, revealing Zabuza who fell to the ground and the intact Sand Crab.

Kakashi felt helpless. It was not easy to collect intelligence. After watching three games, he didn't get anything useful. The only thing he could be sure of was that the Sand Crab was not weak.

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

The fourth round was the last round of the preliminaries. The ninja who won the fourth round would not be too weak. Moreover, according to the sequence number, the opponent of the Sand Crab's last battle would be Iwagakure, and it would not create a fog to cover the vision at the beginning.

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

After the third round, they did not immediately enter the final fourth round of battle, but took a three-hour intermission, and then fought the last round three hours later.

Kakashi and others used this intermission time 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 speak.

"It turns out that other members of the Akatsuki organization also participated in the martial arts meeting. I saw the Akatsuki leader Yahiko in my division." Obito said after hearing Kakashi talk about Nagato's information.

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

Kakashi looked sideways. He thought Obito would stay in the division where Nohara Rin was all the time. He didn't expect Obito to still collect information, although not much.

After Obito finished speaking, Nohara Rin and Shisui also talked about the situation in their divisions.

"It seems that there are no noteworthy opponents in my division." Might Guy touched his chin and thought seriously.

Might Guy felt that no one in the eighth division could catch his golden skyline.

If it was Obito who said this, Kakashi would think Obito was really pretentious, but if it was Might Guy who said it, there was really nothing wrong with it.

After all, Might Guy's full power to use the Eight Gates and Rock Breathing Chakra Mode is more powerful than four ninja swords.

After the fourth round began, since Sand Crab was also the first game, Kakashi directly split a shadow clone to collect information in the sixth division, and the main body returned to the first division to compete in order to prevent missing key information.

PS: Please double the monthly ticket, and there will be another chapter 4k to be released around one o'clock.

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

Kakashi actually met Nagato, but he didn't communicate. Yahiko and Obito have also met him, but only Shisui has met Konan.
