Perhaps we can deduce from this the escape techniques that counter the slash escape technique.
"Truly... he possesses the spirit of a new generation of ninja god." Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed.
They are certainly aware of the changes that have occurred in the Land of Fire over the years.
Even Tobirama felt that the current model of the Land of Fire was better than the one-country-one-village system of the past.
Therefore, in the Land of Wind, the Hidden Fire Village now manages military, political, and financial affairs all at once.
Nominally, the Kage is the highest authority, but the main responsibility for matters rests with him, Hiruzen Sarutobi, and Orochimaru.
It almost perfectly replicates the Land of Fire's model.
Disliking someone and learning from someone are not always contradictory.
Hiruzen Sarutobi will definitely participate, not for any title or reward, but simply because he wants to see his wife and children.
"Jiraiya, you just said you would participate with the sages of Mount Myōboku. Does that specifically mean ninjas and summoned beasts can cooperate, or does it mean ninjas can team up with each other?"
Orochimaru began to inquire about the details.
"You can form a team before the competition, for example, you and the old man can team up. When the final five spots are reached, one of you will get a title and choose the reward. How the reward is divided is up to you."
Jiraiya spoke eloquently: "The two immortals want the Dragon Vein Crystal, saying that it is very useful to Mount Myōboku."
"Say the same thing as before, you should talk to the immortals in the Shikkotsu Forest of Ryuchi Cave and persuade them to participate."
"Otherwise, that brat Jing..."
"They really will go and destroy the Holy Land!"
"The specific details will be explained later, anyway, the rules are quite broad... I should be able to say..."
"This is a war between powerful individuals, not just ordinary ninjas!"
Tobirama Senju frowned and said in a deep voice, "Is Uchiha Kagami... still getting stronger...?"
Uchiha Kagami's actions were essentially a forced gathering of all the strongest ninjas in the world.
Aren't you afraid that other powerful individuals will take the opportunity to join forces and kill him first?
Normally, a great villain would divide the opposing forces, but he is actively uniting the opposing forces into one.
Tobirama Senju thought Kagami Uchiha was bad, but he didn't think he was stupid.
Being able to do something like this means...
He was confident that he could defeat all the strong ninjas in the world single-handedly!
With this in mind, he spoke.
"It's a pity. If my older brother could participate, we could at least secure one spot."
Chapter 118 The Power of God
"Are you ever going to stop?!"
"You come here only once a year, do you think it's like a New Year's pilgrimage?"
Most of the Akatsuki members have gone on missions, and Konan would have a tough time dealing with Kakashi now.
Nagato had no choice but to send out Pain.
Kakashi held up a token.
The token is engraved with the Uchiha clan crest, and below it is the Konoha headband mark.
"I'm not here to see Obito this time."
"By order of Uchiha clan head, Uchiha Kagami, representing the Land of Fire, I wish to speak with the leader of your Land of Rain."
Are you the leader of the Land of Rain?
"Come in and let's talk."
Kakashi explained the situation and waited for him to leave.
Nagato assembled the Akatsuki members.
His leg injuries were healed, and his hair color had returned to normal; however, he still moved around in Pain's body most of the time.
In Nagato's heart, Yahiko would always be the leader of Akatsuki.
Above the demonic statue of the heretic, illusory figures appeared one after another.
Many members gather using the illusion technique while on missions outside.
"Payne, is there anything that requires us to gather everyone?"
"Show some respect to the leader, Obito brat."
"Looks like your puppet wants to shatter again..."
Payne said in a deep voice, "Kakashi is here today."
"He comes every year, what's so special about that?" Kakudo scoffed dismissively.
"That brat is only good because of his Flying Thunder God Technique; otherwise, I would have torn his mouth apart long ago!"
"Xiao Nan, you tell us."
After listening to Konan's explanation, the members of the Akatsuki organization fell silent.
“I will participate,” Payne said in a deep voice. The reward was secondary; the most important thing was…
If he doesn't participate, Uchiha Kagami will destroy the Land of Rain, according to Kakashi's words.
This is the tragedy of small countries...
Even if he had become powerful enough to carve out a territory in this chaotic world, he still seemed weak in the face of the Land of Fire.
Furthermore, this is also a great opportunity.
Under normal circumstances, he wouldn't dare enter the Land of Fire in his true form, but now Uchiha Kagami is publicly holding this kind of competition.
If we were to attack anyone, it would truly ignite a major war within the Land of Fire.
He believed that Uchiha Kagami would not do such a thing.
"Dragon Vein Crystal..."
He has been using even the scraps left over from the dragon vein to this day, and he can fully imagine how much energy the treasure known as the dragon vein crystal must possess.
The fact that the Sharingan wasn't included in the reward made Sasori somewhat willing to believe in Uchiha Kagami this time.
"Two billion...two billion...two billion...two billion..."
Kakuzu kept repeating those words like a broken record.
Among the rewards, what really caught Obito's eye was the Slash Release technique.
His idea was the same as Tobirama Senju's: to use this opportunity to find out Uchiha Kagami's weaknesses.
He possesses Yin-Yang Release and Wood Release techniques, among others.
If possible, he also wants to get a copy of the Flying Thunder God Technique.
"Could this be a trap set by Uchiha Kagami?"
"He's not a good person."
Black Zetsu spoke.
He didn't want any of those rewards; he just wanted the Rinnegan to be safe and sound.
In the worst-case scenario, he could retain the Rinnegan and wait until Uchiha Kagami dies of old age before taking action.
Anyway, none of the nine tailed beasts or he will die.
"He invited Hashirama Senju," Pain said indifferently.
"If it really is a trap, that would be even better. We can take advantage of the situation to unite with those people from Hidden Fire Village, plus the Four Kingdoms Alliance."
"At worst, we'll launch the Fourth Shinobi World War in the Land of Fire!"
“I don’t think it’s a trap, but I don’t understand why Kagami would do that.” Obito frowned, puzzled.
After a brief silence.
"Perhaps... it's for the sake of change."
Scorpion said calmly.
“I spent some time with him, and he’s someone who hates predetermined futures.”
"He probably wants to change the system of the ninja world."
Payne and Minami felt something.
"You're overthinking it, Scorpion."
Jiao Du sneered disdainfully.
"That selfish guy, Uchiha Kagami, wouldn't care about any system."
"If you ask me, he did it so that the young people of Konoha could gain experience. No... it's even possible that this tournament was held for his younger brother and disciples."
“Kakuzu, you underestimate Kagami Uchiha.” Pain shook his head, disagreeing with Kakuzu’s words.
"Yes, how could a strong person like him possibly cause the entire ninja world to be affected by something of this magnitude?"
"Hmm, I think Scorpion makes a good point."
Black Zetsu felt something was off when he heard that even White Zetsu agreed with Sasori's point of view.
He, however, felt...
Kakuzu's version is more credible.
That's how the Uchiha clan is; for the sake of one person, they can drag the entire ninja world into chaos.
They've been like this since the time of Indra...
Uchiha Shinka calmly sipped his tea, sitting opposite the four Kage.
"That's Lord Jing's order."
"If you participate and are lucky enough to get a seat, I will give you a little more time to survive."
"Otherwise, just wait for destruction."
Lei Ying angrily slammed his fist on the table, and Shen Huo dodged the flying pieces of wood by tilting his head.
"What a joke! Our name is inherited from our ancestors, what right does Uchiha Kagami have to take it away!"
"Even if I die! I will die in the name of the Raikage!!"
Onoki and the others had grim expressions, and their thoughts were the same as the Raikage's.
Rather than participating in this humiliating martial arts competition, it would be better to wage a fair and square war against the Land of Fire!
"Then let's fight!"
"Let's start the war! Fight Uchiha Kagami to the death!"
"Don't think that the ninja world is under Uchiha Kagami's control!"
The scene was noisy for a while, but eventually a consensus was reached.
That means immediately launching the Fourth Shinobi World War!
Shenhuo pulled a pocket watch from his sleeve and glanced at everyone.
"Three minutes. You have three minutes to make your arrangements."
"What do you mean?"
On Shenhuo's aged face, wrinkles piled up from a smile.
"Lord Jing, please enjoy this magnificent view. Please move to the spacious open area."
The border between the Land of Hot Water and the Land of Lightning.
A tall, slender figure hovered in mid-air, his black robes fluttering in the wind.
He slowly drew out a long sword, wisps of black and red aura swirling around it.
