Chapter 540: You Are Not Allowed to Expel Me From the Beast Class

The white light dissipated, and the Pokémon egg disappeared without a trace, leaving only the cushion that Nagato used to pad the egg.

Of course, this was not a fake Pokémon egg that Mu Yue gave Nagato.

Sensing the sight and faint coldness coming from behind, Nagato looked back.

What caught his eye was a purple smoke, and in the center of the smoke was a big black ball with a pair of big white eyes and a mouth with a pair of fangs on it.

When Nagato looked at the big black ball, the big black ball's big eyes were also curiously looking at Nagato.

After seeing Gastly clearly, Nagato subconsciously took a half step back.

Although he usually didn't judge people by appearance, the unknown existence in front of him didn't look like a creature from the world of the living.

Nagato felt that no matter who it was, when he turned around and saw the black ball with eyes and mouth covered with purple smoke, he would subconsciously step back.

He only took a half step back, which showed that he was very confident in his own strength.

"Kou Jie!"

Gass gave a friendly smile and greeted Nagato. For some reason, it felt very friendly to Nagato.

Of course, this friendliness was just Gastly's own idea. In Nagato's perspective, it was just a black ball with purple smoke that gave a weird laugh.

"Is this a Ninja Beast?" Nagato fell into deep thought.

The Ninja Beast egg hatched, and then Gastly appeared in the training room. According to common sense, Gastly was the newly hatched Ninja Beast.

It's not that Nagato has never seen a strange-looking summoning beast, but it's really not as strange as Gastly.

To be impolite, he thinks Gastly is more like the legendary weirdness than Ninja Beast.

"There is no doubt that it is, but it's a bit more peculiar." Mu Yue walked into the training room and said.

Mu Yue didn't expect that Nagato's Pokémon was Gastly.

He thought it would be Eevee or something, after all, Nagato has many attributes.

But in terms of combat, Gastly is indeed quite suitable for Nagato.

The only weakness of Nagato now is his physical skills, while Gastly has a strong ability to hide and can lurk beside Nagato to protect him.

"Hehehe!"

Gasstly laughed when Mu Yue praised it for being unique, and then floated around Nagato and kept circling around him.

Since Gastly is really a ninja beast, Nagato did not hesitate and signed a contract with Gastly.

"Teacher Mu Yue, can I take it out, or should I let it stay in the training room for the time being?" Nagato asked Mu Yue.

Gastly's egg has been in the training room without even a window since Mu Yue gave it to Nagato, and Nagato wants to take Gastly out for a walk.

"Sure, there is no need to let it stay here any longer." Mu Yue replied.

Gastly has a huge gap with Obito's Pokémon in terms of ability and appearance, and no one will associate Gastly with Obito's Pokémon.

If Gastly evolves, there will be a common point, but there is no way to equate Sosuke and Hanyu Muyue based on this point.

Of course, even if Uchiha Madara or even Black Zetsu knew that Muyue was Sosuke, Muyue would not care.

He hid his identity at the beginning because he did not want Uchiha Madara to interfere with his acceptance of Nagato as his apprentice.

Now that the acceptance of the apprentice has been successful, Muyue and Nagato have established a good master-disciple relationship, so there is no need to worry about Uchiha Madara coming to make trouble.

This is why Muyue quickly confessed everything to Nagato after accepting Nagato as his apprentice, because if he didn't do so, Uchiha Madara might use this to fool Nagato.

The current situation is very favorable to Muyue. Even if Uchiha Madara knows his identity information, he can't do anything except to mobilize his own power to cause trouble for Muyue.

Announce Muyue's identity to make other countries wary of Konoha and Shinobi Clan to cause trouble for Muyue? Uchiha Madara can't do it.

Because if Uchiha Madara asked White Zetsu to spread the news, no one would believe it at all.

Compared to the theory that Mu Yue, the scorching sun of Konoha, is the ninja master Sosuke, the conspiracy theory that everything about Sosuke is planned by the Rain Village seems more credible.

Uchiha Madara has no way to play public opinion with Mu Yue.

Mu Yue is the second in command of the Root in Konoha, and Sarutobi Hiruzen also trusts Mu Yue.

In the Land of Rain, Mu Yue is a well-received ninja master. In addition to his own ninja sect, he can also mobilize the power of the Rain Ninja after negotiating with Hanzo.

Uchiha Madara can make the already chaotic situation more chaotic through his own arrangements, but if we have to say that the manpower that can be mobilized is really, Uchiha Madara is far worse than Mu Yue.

After all, Uchiha Madara has been pretending to be dead for decades, and each village has changed from the first generation of Kage to the third generation, and the faster Sand Village has even passed on to the fourth generation of Kaze Kage.

Nagato nodded and walked out, and Gastly floated behind Nagato and left the training room together.

Seeing Nagato leave, Mu Yue took out her Pokémon egg and took a look at it.

Although they were obtained together, Mu Yue's Pokémon egg still showed no signs of hatching.

"Nagato." Yahiko, who was about to go out for a stroll, saw Nagato and greeted him with a smile.

But soon the smile on Yahiko's face turned solemn, because he saw a mysterious figure covered in purple smoke slowly rising behind Nagato.

"Nagato, be careful!" Yahiko shouted, and then rushed towards Nagato.

Nagato sensed that there was nothing behind him except Gastly, and he couldn't help showing a puzzled expression.

Then Nagato thought carefully, based on Gastly's image, maybe Yahiko was talking about Gastly.

"It's okay, Yahiko, don't worry." Nagato, who had figured it out, comforted him.

Although Gastly doesn't look like a creature in the world, it is a ninja beast certified by Mu Yue himself, so there will be no problem.

"How can it be okay? There is something like a ghost floating behind you." Yahiko couldn't help but complain.

Although Yahiko didn't believe in ghosts before, he saw it with his own eyes, even if he didn't believe it, he had to believe it.

"If you don't believe it, look back." Yahiko turned his gaze back to Nagato's back and found that the mysterious purple figure disappeared.

"Hey, it's strange, did I see it wrong?" Yahiko couldn't help but reach his hand back to scratch his hair, but he inexplicably felt the coldness as if he had put his hand into ice water.

Yahiko looked back subconsciously, and a black ball with big eyes and an ominous purple mist around it came into view.

"A ghost!"

Yahiko's eyes widened, and he almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Nagato was quick to hold Yahiko up, which saved Yahiko from close contact with the ground.

"Nagato, use Shinra Tensei quickly!" Yahiko shouted while concentrating chakra.

Gastly was too close to them, and at this position, Shinra Tensei, which can be used instantly without hand seals, is very useful.

"Well, actually it's my summoning beast." Nagato explained.

He said it was normal to see Gastly retreat half a step, and Yahiko almost fell down.

"Oh, it turned out to be a summoning beast." Yahiko made an expression of sudden enlightenment.

"I can't understand it at all, okay, whose summoning beast looks like this." Looking at Gastly again, Yahiko couldn't hold it anymore and complained.

This purple smoke, this black ball, this big eyeball, which kind of good person's summoning beast looks like this.

"Kou Jie!"

Gass was instantly unhappy when he heard Yahiko complain about its appearance, and stretched out his long pink tongue to Yahiko.

'Tongue licking! '

Although he was unable to cause actual harm to Yahiko because of his low strength at birth and his lack of chakra, it made Yahiko's eyes go dark and he wanted to wash his face more than ten times.

"Although it is a little different from ordinary beasts, it is indeed a ninja beast." Nagato brought out Mu Yue's explanation to him.

Although Gastly really doesn't look like a creature in the world, it does show no aggressiveness, and Yahiko had to believe what Nagato said.

"Nagato, let's go and see what the others are doing." Yahiko thought about it and took Nagato to find Kusuke.

He couldn't be the only one to be scared, Yahiko had to let others know Nagato, a not-so-ordinary summoning beast.

Anyway, Gastly is Nagato's summoned beast, and other people will see it sooner or later.

"Isn't it a bit bad?" Nagato looked a little hesitant.

Although it is not good to judge people by appearance, Gastly's appearance will indeed attack people who see it first.

"What's wrong with this? Get to know it first, so as to avoid mistakes in the future." Yahiko gave a very legitimate reason.

If a person encounters Gastly, Yahiko will definitely fight with Gastly.

Nagato thought about it and agreed, and Gastly also looked very interested, so he agreed.

"Ghost!"

In this way, exclamations continued to appear in the Shinobi headquarters. Gastly made a large number of Shinobi ninjas remember its image in a weird way.

…………

The martial arts meeting ended, and Mu Yue did not need to use public opinion means. Various news about the martial arts meeting were flying all over the ninja world.

After all, the martial arts meeting had attracted much attention for various reasons before, and now there were so many unexpected things happening at the martial arts meeting, and the heat naturally went up.

However, what surprised many ninjas in the ninja world the most was that the first place was actually taken by the ninja of the Ninja Clan. It was really shocking.

Ninjas who pay attention to the Youth Martial Arts Tournament know that Iwagakure and Konoha attach the most importance to the Youth Martial Arts Tournament.

Not only did they send many talented ninjas in the village, but they also sent strong people to lead the team.

Iwagakure sent Huang Tu, the son of the third generation Tsuchikage, while Konoha sent Lieyang Muyue.

This posture obviously does not mean that the Ninja Clan can get their own ninjas first by doing secret operations.

After all, no matter how good the lottery is for their own players, they still have to compete with the strongest players for the first place in the end, and they can only rely on their strength.

So some people gave Nagato the title of the first genius in the ninja world, and believed that Nagato was the most talented ninja in the current ninja world.

The person who first proposed it may have sincerely believed that Nagato's strength was unparalleled.

However, with the growing momentum, it has a bit of a flattering meaning.

The five strongest ninja villages in the ninja world do not have a genius who is called the number one genius in the ninja world. It is hard not to think of conspiracy theories when a ninja force from a small country suddenly gets such a title.

In addition to the first place, the strong performance of Konoha ninjas in the Youth Martial Arts Conference also shocked many people.

Although Iwagakure showed the same importance as Konoha, the results of Iwagakure ninjas were beaten by Konoha ninjas in the ninja competition.

Starting from the quarterfinals, the proportion of Konoha ninjas began to be exaggerated. Five of the top eight were from Konoha, and three of the top four were from Konoha.

As for Iwagakure, no ninjas successfully entered the quarterfinals.

Of course, there were more than Iwagakure ninjas that did not enter the quarterfinals. Sand Village and Kumogakure were all eliminated in the first round.

But Sand Village and Kumogakure did not send many ninjas, which was obviously not the same as Iwagakure.

In Iwagakure Village, in the office of the Tsuchikage, Ohnoki had a headache when he looked at the martial arts information submitted by Huang Tu.

"In terms of genius ninjas, Iwagakure is so much worse than Konoha." Ohnoki rubbed his eyebrows.

This is really a comparison. You don't know, and you'll be shocked when you compare.

As a responsible Tsuchikage, Ohnoki certainly knew that Iwagakure had not had any particularly outstanding talents in recent years.

But he did not expect that there was such a big gap between Konoha and Iwagakure in young ninjas.

Chang Shi was already one of the strongest young talents in Iwagakure, but he was killed by Might Guy in one punch at the Youth Martial Arts Tournament.

If Konoha only had one Might Guy, it would be fine. Konoha also had several other super talents who were slightly inferior to Might Guy.

"From this point of view, Sosuke is more important." Ohnoki fell into deep thought.

If the Shinobi Clan could help them cultivate better ninjas, it would be able to alleviate the current situation of Iwagakure to a certain extent.

But in Ohnoki's plan, Iwagakure is very likely to go against the Shinobi Clan.

Because Ohnoki initially helped the Shinobi Clan to negotiate peace with the Rain Ninjas in order to design hatred and let the Rain Country contain Konoha.

As long as it is a plan, it is likely to be discovered. If the Shinobi Clan discovered what Iwagakure did, the Shinobi Clan would inevitably tear its face with Iwagakure.

"Change the plan, change the main body to Rain Village, and let Rain Village lead the Ninja Clan to contain Konoha?" Ohnoki thought of a solution.

Although in terms of the result, it is still Iwagakure that is causing trouble in the Land of Rain, but it is not the Ninja Clan that is causing trouble.

The disadvantage of this change is also obvious, that is, the Ninja Clan may not make any efforts.

Because in Ohnoki's perspective, the Ninja Clan and the Rain Village are just two forces that have united because of mutual fear. In this case, it is normal for the Ninja Clan not to help the Rain Village to fight against Konoha.

"Observe the situation again." Ohnoki suppressed his anxiety.

Although the gap between the top young ninjas has been widened, the overall strength of Iwagakure is not worse than Konoha now, because Iwagakure has tens of thousands of ninja troops.

So as long as Iwagakure finds an opportunity to destroy Konoha in this war, there is no need to worry about Konoha's strength surpassing it.

...

The Land of Thunder, Cloud Village.

The fourth generation Ai looked at the news of the Youth Martial Arts Tournament with disdain, "Just winning a competition held by his own forces, he dares to call himself the first genius in the ninja world. He is so arrogant and ignorant."

"If I didn't need to be familiar with the power of the tailed beasts, I really want you to teach them a little more." The fourth generation Ai said to Killer Bee who was training.

Because he became the new Eight-Tails Jinchūriki, Killer Bee was restricted from leaving the village.

The fourth generation Ai didn't think that Nagato Might Guy and Obito could defeat Killer Bee.

The fourth generation Ai witnessed Killer Bee getting stronger step by step. In his opinion, Killer Bee could even surpass him.

If he could even surpass him, what else could he be but the first genius in the ninja world.

"Rain Ninja bastards, so arrogant, if they didn't have to practice, they must be taught a lesson." Killer Bee responded to the fourth generation Ai in his unique rap tone.

"Asshole, if you want to talk during practice, talk properly!"

Seeing that Killer Bee was still practicing and making a fuss, the fourth generation Ai couldn't help but twitch his eyelids and punched Killer Bee on the head.

He felt that the fact that Killer Bee was unpopular in Kumogakure Village had nothing to do with the Eight-Tails. It was all because Killer Bee was disturbing people by rapping regardless of the occasion.

"Even if you are my big brother, you can't make me give up my gorgeous rhythm, yeah!" Killer Bee, who was beaten up, was still not ready to change.

At this time, Dodai suddenly walked into the sight of the Fourth Generation Ai.

"Please follow me to the meeting room of the Kumogakure Building." Dodai said.

The Fourth Generation Ai nodded, without asking why, and walked directly to the Kumogakure Building with Dodai.

After entering the Raikage's office, the Fourth Generation Ai found that in addition to his father, the Third Generation Raikage, there were several other elite Kumogakure ninjas in the meeting room.

"Okay, let's get started." The Third Generation Raikage nodded and said when he saw Dodai and his son were present.

"Which ninja village will Kumogakure focus on next? Tell us what you think."

Due to the problem with the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, Kumogakure is actually not as arrogant as it was two years ago, and has restrained a lot.

It is just a confrontation with Konoha, and the only one that is fighting a little more fiercely is Sand Village.

Logically speaking, the Cloud Village should have persisted in fighting the Sand Village, but with the end of the civil strife in the Sand Village, the current Sand Village is not as easy to bully as it was when the Third Kazekage had just disappeared.

Of course, it's not just this one reason. There are also factors of geographical location. It's actually quite difficult for Kumogakure to fight Sand Village. It has to pass through several small countries to reach it.

Before, there was hope to take over Sand Village, so this problem could be ignored, but now Sand Village is getting harder and harder, and various problems are gradually exposed.

"Iwagakure Village is a good choice. Our ninjas can take a boat directly to the east coast of Iwagakure, or they can choose to land in the north of Taki Country and then enter the Land of Earth." A Kumogakure said.

In fact, in terms of the marching speed of ninjas, taking a boat is not necessarily faster than on land, but sea transportation is better in that it goes directly without passing through any country.

The more countries you pass through on the road, the easier it is to expose intelligence or be ambushed.

"And according to the war situation between Iwagakure and Konoha, Iwagakure is not strong, and there are not many strong people worth paying attention to."

Although the Kumogakure Village is a reckless man in the impression of many ninjas in the ninja world, they are not really brainless. They have been sending spies to collect war intelligence from various villages.

"I think Konoha is the best choice." At this time, a Kumogakure ninja wearing glasses spoke.

"Although Konoha looks strong now, it has fought several battles and lost many ninjas. Although strong men like Yellow Flash Lieyang Muyue have emerged, the strength of the middle and low-level ninjas is definitely far less than before."

"If we don't take this opportunity to defeat Konoha, I'm afraid that Kumogakure will not be able to defeat Konoha after Konoha recovers its strength in a few years."

"Why don't you try to trouble Kirigakure? They even killed one of their Jinchūriki."

The fourth generation Ai silently watched the Kumogakure elites speak enthusiastically without saying anything.

He was just called by the third generation Raikage to learn. In such occasions, he usually just listened and didn't speak.

After discussing for about three hours, the third generation Raikage stopped the meeting, "That's all for today, adjourn the meeting!"

The strategic decision of the entire ninja village and even the national level cannot be easily made, and the third generation Raikage has no clear idea at present.

They must fight. If they don't fight, their Kumogakure will not have accumulated strength for so long in vain.

But who to fight and how to fight is a big problem.

...

The Land of Fire, Konoha.

"I didn't expect that the Ninja Clan actually had such an outstanding young ninja. Might Guy and Kakashi didn't get first place." Sarutobi Hiruzen looked through the information of the Youth Martial Arts Tournament with a look of regret.

He really wanted to take a look at the legendary Fire Dragon Dance.

After all, it was the fire-based ninjutsu that suppressed Hanzo's fire escape ninjutsu with fire against water. It was hard for a fire escape master like him not to be curious.

"But our Konoha ninjas are generally very good." Sarutobi Hiruzen was quite satisfied with the results of the Martial Arts Tournament.

Although Konoha didn't get first place, the rewards for the second to fourth places were all taken by Konoha, so it was not in vain.

However, the rewards for the second to fourth places were not the biggest gain of Konoha's participation in the Martial Arts Tournament. The bigger gain was the increase in the number of Konoha commissions.

Nagato's strength is amazing, but Konoha has shown extraordinary background. There are five Konoha ninjas in the top eight.

"Asuma is actually tied with Kakashi for the top eight. Should we give him a warning so that he doesn't have the illusion that he can already match Kakashi?" Sarutobi Hiruzen showed a thoughtful expression.

There is also a gap between the top eight. Kakashi is only in the top eight because he met Might Guy, so he is only in the top eight, and Asuma's top eight is obviously a bit of luck.

Thinking of exchanging experiences with Mu Yue about teaching disciples, Sarutobi Hiruzen finally shook his head.

Asuma traveled through mountains and rivers to the Rain Country to participate in the competition, so he should be more relaxed.

Of course, in order to prevent Asuma from having a wrong perception, the reminders should still be given, but they can be put aside a little to make Asuma happy first.

Sarutobi Hiruzen is in a good mood, but Shimura Danzo of the Root is very depressed.

He wanted to take advantage of the Youth Martial Arts Tournament to make trouble, but Mu Yue's measures in all aspects were too well prepared, and the Root forces of the Rain Country had no way to start.

Shimura Danzo didn't have any good way, he could only look at the intelligence. During the war, he didn't have much power to mobilize, and the Ninja Clan was not a soft persimmon, so he couldn't force it.

"Repulsion, attraction, absorption ninjutsu, these are definitely the abilities of the Samsara Eye!" Looking at Nagato's information, Shimura Danzo's desire for the Samsara Eye became stronger.

In his opinion, Nagato, this young boy, can have the strength of the first place only because of the Samsara Eye, otherwise how could he win the Konoha Ninja.

The more Shimura Danzo thought about it, the more he felt that the Samsara Eye must be obtained. With his strength and the Samsara Eye, Sarutobi Hiruzen could not be his opponent.

PS: This chapter is 6k, and the author has considered for a long time the choice of Nagato's Pokémon.

I thought about Eevee, who can evolve and degenerate, and I also thought about the changeable Greninja Frog, because Nagato has multiple chakra attributes, but in the end I chose a more naughty Gastly.

Because Xiaoju felt that the overall atmosphere on Nagato's side was not very relaxed, and they needed a presence that could bring them joy as a diversion.

In addition, there are also some personal reasons. A long time ago, the author had a Pokémon novel that he liked very much. The protagonist's initial Pokémon was Gastly. It's a pity that the book ended badly...
