Chapter 518: The Terrifying Strength 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.

Since Kakashi came back late, the first round had already been halfway through, and Kakashi only watched a few games before the second round was about to begin.

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, 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 people participating.

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

Kakashi also only saw one team on the Sand Village side, with a total of four Sand Village ninjas.

The number of Iwagakure is relatively large. Kakashi roughly calculated that there are about 21 people, which is the largest ninja village with the most participating ninjas.

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

Kakashi believes that there are two main reasons for this situation.

The first is that the situation is tense during the war, and the big ninja villages cannot send too many young talents to participate in the Youth Martial Arts Tournament.

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

For example, in the Hidden Mist Village, there are very few people who use Fire Style. Those few Fire Style ninjas may not be able to learn Fire Dragon Dance. Under such circumstances, the Hidden Mist Village is unlikely to be very interested in the martial arts of young people.

Kakashi estimated that the Hidden Mist Village sent out ninjas with the mentality that they were useless, but they couldn't let others take them away.

"Well, if a ninja like Killer Bee came, I'm afraid Kai would not be able to deal with it." 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 with the fourth generation Ai.

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

"The first game of the second round, number one Hatake Kakashi vs. number three Komiyayama Yuuji!"

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

Komiyayama Yuuji sighed and walked up with a fearless attitude.

Although the battle has not started yet, Kakashi's performance in the last game means that he has zero chance of winning.

"Begin!"

"Flash!"

Swish!

As soon as the referee finished speaking, Kakashi immediately concentrated his breathing and pulled out the White Fang 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 extremely quickly again.

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

The players within the eighth number looked at their numbers and couldn't help but sigh. How can they fight like this? They have locked in defeat in advance.

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

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

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

Fortunately, the battle pace in the sixth division was a little slower. When Kakashi arrived at the sixth division, the second round had not yet started, and the last battle of the first round was in progress.

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

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

"Number one Shusan vs. number three Sand Crab!"

Seeing the grass ninja forehead protector on Shusan's head, Sand Crab's opponent, it was his turn, Kakashi was a little disappointed.

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

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

"Round two, second game, number five Momochi Zabuza vs..."

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

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

With the strength Zabuza showed at that time, if he hadn't been too lazy in the past two years, he shouldn't have been killed by the sand crabs like the grass ninjas.

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 that Kakashi showed to protect and defend friendship during the Chunin Exam two years ago.

Zabuza has not yet met the person who is worth 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 the fourth competition area where Nohara Rin was.

Before he reached the fourth competition area, Kakashi heard Obito cheering for Nohara Rin.

Kakashi looked for a while and found that Nohara Rin's opponent was at the level of an ordinary Chunin. Nohara Rin only used ordinary physical skills to beat the opponent without any chance of fighting back.

Kakashi was not surprised by this. Although Nohara Rin focused on medical ninjutsu, her comprehensive ability was that of a real Konoha Jonin. As long as she was not compared with Kakashi and the others, her strength was still not weak.

After greeting the two, Kakashi quickly went to the fifth competition area where Shisui was.

At this time, Shisui had just finished fighting and walked down the battlefield. Seeing Kakashi coming, he greeted Kakashi.

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

Kakashi thought Shisui would write down the information of those ninjas who performed well.

"There is a Iwagakure ninja named Changshi who is quite strong and has a blood limit of explosive release." Shisui replied.

"But his number is very low, and he and I can't meet in the preliminaries."

"I suspect that the numbering of this martial arts competition may not be completely random. They are avoiding strong ninjas from meeting before the elimination round." Shisui expressed his speculation.

"I conducted investigations in several surrounding divisions. There is no such battle that is equally strong. It is either a crushing victory or a weak one."

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

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

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

Because geniuses do not necessarily have a record. For example, before Kakashi and his friends went to the battlefield, they were not very famous even in Konoha Village, not to mention the Fire Country or even the Ninja World.

Even if there is a record, as long as it is not the level of Mu Yue, it is impossible 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 talk too long with Shisui about the battle sequence, after all, this is generally more beneficial to them.

After thinking that it might be time for Nagato to fight, Kakashi went to the seventh competition area to watch Nagato fight.

"The fifth battle of the second round, No. 17 Bizu Reito vs. No. 19 Nagato."

Kakashi mourned for Bizu Reito for 0.1 seconds in his heart. There is no way to win Bizu Reito. It depends on whether he can hold on for a few more moves so that Kakashi can get more information about Nagato.

"It's a strong enemy." Bingzu Leitong took a deep breath and walked to the battlefield with a serious face.

"Letong, come on!" Kakashi encouraged, hoping that Bingzu Leitong could hold on for a little longer.

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

After the battle began, Bingzu Leitong immediately retreated and formed two shadow clones. The left and right shadow clones rushed towards Nagato in tacit understanding to create an opportunity for the main body to attack.

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

"Fire Style: Head Hard Work!"

"Wind Style: Suppress Harm!"

Nagato's main body spit out a compressed fireball in the center of the battlefield. As soon as the fireball landed, the compressed flame inside it instantly burst out and created a sea of ​​fire.

Then the shadow clone spit out another 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 of Bingzu Leitong.

Bingzu Leitong widened his eyes, and his hand holding the long sword almost lost its grip and the sword fell to the ground.

What kind of excellent matching mechanism allowed him to fight against such an opponent.

"Referee, I give up." Bingzu Leitong raised his hand and admitted defeat before the sea of ​​fire spread.

If he could get close to Nagato, he might still have a chance to fight as he was good at physical skills, but Bingzu Leitong's speed was obviously not fast enough to rush to Nagato and hit him with a knife before Nagato released his ninjutsu.

"Nagato wins!" The referee announced the result of the battle.

"The use of fire escape is not worse than wind escape, and he can combine ninjutsu." Kakashi silently wrote down the new information and further increased 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 still quickly defeated his opponent as before and rushed to the sixth division where the Sand Crab was.

Kakashi now had some information about Nagato, but the Sand Crab was really well hidden. Apart from the chakra line, it was just ordinary physical skills.

Zabuza found that Kakashi came to watch the battle again, and subconsciously straightened his chest when he walked towards the battle field.

"The battle begins!"

"Mist Hidden Technique!"

As the battle began, Zabuza immediately burst out chakra and spit out thick fog to cover his vision.

He had also seen the battle of the Sand Crab, and knew that the opponent was not easy to deal with, so Zabuza went all out right from the start.

Kakashi frowned slightly. The Mist Hidden Technique, as a secret technique of the Mist Hidden Village, had a very high upper limit. Not only could Obito's Sharingan not see through it, but his transparent world was 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 it okay not to deal with it?" Seeing that the thick fog had not dissipated for a minute, Kakashi could not judge which possibility it was.

After another minute, a series of fierce fighting sounds rang out, 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. He had watched three games but had not found anything useful. The only thing that was certain was that the strength of 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 he would not start by creating a fog to cover his vision.

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

After the third round, they did not immediately enter the final fourth round of battle. Instead, they took a three-hour break and then had the final round of battle three hours later.

Kakashi and others used this break 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 take over.

"It turns out that there are other members of the Akatsuki organization who also participated in the martial arts competition. 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-style ninjutsu. I have only seen one of his battles, so I am not particularly clear." Obito said honestly.

Kakashi looked at him 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 could catch his golden skyline in the eighth division.

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

After all, Might Guy burst out with all his strength to use the Eight Gates of Ninja and the Rock Breathing Chakra mode, which is more powerful than four ninja swords.

After the fourth round started, since the 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 avoid missing key information.

PS: Ask for double monthly tickets, and there will be another chapter 4k that will 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 with him. Yahiko, Obito and others have also met him, but only Shisui has met Konan.
