Ninja school teacher, I can become stronger by teaching.

This is much more honorable than defeating some genius. The Third Tsuchikage is of the same level as their Raikage.

"Sarutobi Hiruzen-sama versus Nagato!"

After a simple repair of the venue, the second game of the semi-finals began soon.

The Konoha ninjas who were watching the game all showed serious expressions.

Nagato is not very old, but his strength is recognized by the entire ninja world, and his abilities are strange and powerful.

"Please keep an eye on it for me. If you find any mistakes made by the old man, remember to tell me."

Asuma was worried about his poor eyesight, so he asked Obito and the others for help.

Of course Obito agreed directly. Kakashi was speechless, but he didn't refuse.

The battle between Sarutobi Hiruzen and Nagato was more lively than the previous one. Both of them were very proficient in the five major types of ninjutsu.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's understanding of ninjutsu is far better than Nagato's, but Nagato has huge chakra and the Rinnegan that can absorb ninjutsu, making it impossible for either of them to do anything to each other for a while.

"Psychic art!"

After testing Nagato's methods, Sarutobi Hiruzen used summoning techniques to summon the Monkey Demon.

Regarding Nagato's ability to absorb ninjutsu, there is a saying that this ability has a limit, and once the limit is exceeded, Nagato will not be able to absorb it.

However, for Sarutobi Hiruzen, this was a battle that he could not lose, so he chose a safer way of fighting. Testing the absorption limit would consume too much chakra and there was a possibility of failure.

Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't want to lose to a younger ninja who was old enough to be his son, and since Nagato was Sosuke's disciple, Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't want to lose even more.

He really couldn't afford to lose to his teacher and now his disciple.

Sarutobi Hiruzen held the Vajra Ruyi Stick, which was transformed from the Monkey King, and his attack was extremely fierce.

Even though Nagato had a defensive skill like Shinra Tensei, he still found it difficult to withstand it for a while.

Konoha has information that Shinra Tensei has a five-second cooldown, which greatly reduces the effectiveness of Shinra Tensei.

Relying on the powerful recovery ability brought by the Yang Breathing Chakra mode, Nagato managed to hold on for a while, but during this time Sarutobi Hiruzen played steadily and did not reveal any flaws.

Instead, Nagato was too impatient and Sarutobi Hiruzen seized the opportunity and defeated him in one fell swoop.

"Sarutobi Hiruzen-sama wins!"

The semi-finals ended with the referee calling out the winner's name.

The martial arts tournament will officially end in five days when the Third Raikage and Sarutobi Hiruzen have the final.

"I'm in such a good mood today."

Asuma couldn't help but mutter.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was incredibly stable today, and he couldn't see any mistakes made by Sarutobi Hiruzen at all.

"You better be this good in the finals."

Asuma would be very happy if Sarutobi Hiruzen won first place in the martial arts tournament.

The conflict between him and his old father was not so great that he wished his father badly. It was just that Sarutobi Hiruzen usually couldn't say a good word, and Asuma was not happy about it.

Moreover, if Sarutobi Hiruzen takes first place, Asuma will be eliminated by the first place, which sounds a lot better.

Chapter 744 The finals are over, the truth about Mu Yue

Liudao City training ground.

Although they had been eliminated, Obito and the others did not give up training. Instead, they took this opportunity to ask Mu Yue for advice every day.

If they have any questions in Konoha, they can go to Mu Yue's house to ask Mu Yue for advice.

But Mu Yue is the Hokage after all, and he is very busy.

The disciples couldn't bear to let Mu Yue work too hard, so they always restrained themselves and only asked Mu Yue for advice when they really had nothing to think about.

Mu Yue didn't have nothing to do in Liudao City, but she had much more free time than when she was in Konoha.

"so good."

Looking at Shisui, Might Guy and others who were training not far away, Obito, who was sitting against a tree to rest, sighed.

This made him recall the wonderful time of training in the southern forest.

Before Mu Yue became famous in the ninja world, before they became famous geniuses in Konoha, they could see Mu Yue in the southern forest every day and receive Mu Yue's teachings.

Later, due to various reasons, there were fewer opportunities.

Mu Yue has various matters to deal with, and they also have more things to do as they grow up.

“No wonder some people want to go back to their school days.”

Obito suddenly realized something.

Whether in novels or in reality, he can hear words like wanting to go back to the past or wanting to return to school.

In the past, Obito could not quite understand the thoughts of those scholars who wanted to go back.

Especially when he was in school, he was eager to graduate quickly without having to study theory and become a ninja to make a name for himself. He couldn't understand why anyone would want to go through school again.

Now Obito understood a little bit. It was indeed great to become famous, but the daily warmth in his memory was irreplaceable.

"They want to live a better life with memories. If they don't have favorable memories, do you think they will want to go back?"

Kakashi exhaled and sat down on the opposite side of Obito and said.

Obito was speechless. He had finally managed to feel some emotion about life, but after hearing what Kakashi said, the atmosphere instantly became utilitarian.

"Not necessarily. Youth is priceless. Even if it can't make life better, there will probably be people who want to enjoy their youth again."

Nohara Lin sat down between the two of them and said with a smile.

"Why return to youth? Youth never ends!"

Speaking of youth, Might Guy, who was sweating profusely, also stopped to rest and sat down on the opposite side of Nohara Lin and shouted.

Seeing that everyone was resting, Shisui went over to rest as well. However, there were people sitting on all four sides of the big tree, so Shisui had to tiptoe up the tree and sit on a branch to rest.

Yamato sat on another branch.

"The youth Xiaolin is talking about is not the same as the youth you are talking about, Akai."

Obito complained.

The youth that Nohara Lin refers to is a period of time in life, while the youth that Might Guy refers to is a more abstract spirit.

After a noisy discussion, Obito suddenly noticed that Mu Yue, who was sitting under the shade of a tree, hadn't spoken a word, as if she was thinking about something.

"Teacher Mu Yue, are you busy with something?"

Mu Yue shook her head.

Obito breathed a sigh of relief, "I thought we were the ones delaying you."

"No, I'm just thinking about how to compensate you."

Mu Yue smiled and replied.

"Compensation? Us?"

Obito looked at Mu Yue with a question mark on his face.

It is not Mu Yue's turn to compensate them. It should be more like they repay Mu Yue for his teaching.

The other disciples also looked at Mu Yue in confusion, not quite understanding what Mu Yue meant.

"Why do you need compensation?"

Confused, Obito chose to speak frankly and expressed his doubts to Mu Yue.

"You'll know in a few days."

Mu Yue did not answer Obito's question.

It's already this time, there's not much difference between knowing it a few days earlier or a few days later. Knowing it earlier still means there's a possibility that something might go wrong with the plan.

Hearing that the truth would be revealed in just a few days, Obito and the others' curiosity was suppressed.

When the target is Mu Yue, they can be patient enough to wait for several years, let alone a few days.

……

Five days flew by.

At the foot of the mountain outside Liudao Castle, the martial arts tournament finals are about to begin.

Careful people will find that there are many more ninjas watching the game today than in the semi-finals.

Even though the requirement to be a jonin to watch the game was high, there were miraculously many ninjas from the five major ninja villages in the finals.

"The Third Raikage versus Sarutobi Hiruzen!"

The referee stood in the center of the fighting area and called out the names of the finalists.

The Third Raikage and Sarutobi Hiruzen exchanged a glance and walked slowly into the battle area.

Everyone in Liudao City who was watching the live broadcast on TV was a little excited. The event with a total of five Kages participating was finally going to decide the strongest one.

Since Sosuke and Mu Yue did not participate, they cannot be said to be the strongest in the ninja world, but the final winner is definitely among the top three in the ninja world.

The jonin at the scene were also a little nervous.

But they are not nervous about the game, but about what they will do after the game.

Most of the jonin from the five major ninja villages who came to watch the finals knew what would happen next.

After the two shadows arrived at the designated location, the referee quickly evacuated the venue to avoid being injured by the aftermath of the battle.

"The battle begins!"

Seeing that the Third Raikage and Sarutobi Hiruzen were ready, the referee shouted quickly.

Whoosh!Whoosh!

As soon as the referee finished speaking, the two of them disappeared from the spot in an instant.

Zizi!

Crackling! !

The Third Raikage instantly activated the Lightning Chakra mode, his whole body shining with blue lightning as he attacked Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Due to their respective plans, this match was destined not to be a real battle, but only an exhibition match.

But they are, after all, the Third Raikage and the Third Hokage, who are feared by the ninja world. Even if it is a show match, they cannot act too obviously and must act more realistically.

Especially Sarutobi Hiruzen. In order to prevent Sosuke from seeing the clues, his battle plan was to fight seriously in the early stage, and then pretend to make a few mistakes in the middle and late stages to lose the battle.

"Shadow Clone Technique!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen used the Flickering Technique to dodge and then quickly formed hand seals to create two shadow clones.

"Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet!"

"Wind Release·Cyclone!"

Under the cover of their original bodies, the two shadow clones formed hand seals, condensed chakra and used large-scale ninjutsu, quickly turning the venue into a sea of ​​fire.

Seeing this, the Third Raikage activated his chakra again, took out his full-strength thunder armor, and directly broke through the sea of ​​fire and attacked Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Sarutobi Hiruzen continued to control the flames calmly, and his shadow clones also followed suit using various secret techniques.

Although the Third Raikage was not injured, Sarutobi Hiruzen's endless variety of ninjutsu did cause him to suffer some losses.

At this time, Sarutobi Hiruzen seemed to have a slight advantage.

After a while, Sarutobi Hiruzen changed his fighting style and summoned Enma to fight a physical battle with the Third Raikage.

Relying on the Vajra Ruyi Rod that can grow or shrink, coupled with his own powerful strength, Sarutobi Hiruzen did not suffer any loss in this physical duel.

The powerful force generated by each collision between the two sides caused the ground to crack. After only a few minutes of fighting, the battle area became a mess.

However, as time passed, Sarutobi Hiruzen showed some signs of decline, while the Third Raikage's performance remained stable.

"Hasn't Uncle Hokage had enough rest these days? I feel like my performance isn't as good as it was during the semi-finals."

Obito expressed his thoughts on the match.

"You think so? That means the old man's disguise skills haven't declined even after becoming Hokage."
