As usual, Azabu gave a hand to the relatively unknown Adachi Kazuya.

However, because of the upsets in the first two matches, even if Amabui didn't say anything, the audience would no longer underestimate these unknown new faces. Mei Terumi even used Sage Mode and still lost.

"I hope Itachi Uchiha doesn't also fail. I feel like this martial arts tournament is really murky."

"It's hard to say, after all, Itachi Uchiha didn't have any notable achievements after he turned eight."

Some viewers in the live chat started to express their skepticism towards Itachi Uchiha.

"He's sure to win. He's one of the most talented young people in Konoha. You people who didn't go to school with him have no idea how terrifying he is."

"Does anyone not know how valuable the special forces team is? He is the youngest special forces team captain. The captain is proficient in the Breathing Style Sage Mode. There is no way he could lose."

"Your Breathing Technique is indeed very powerful, but if—and I mean if—I were to use the final gate of the Eight Gates, how would you respond?"

Even before the match started, many expert commentators had already begun predicting the winner.

Uchiha Itachi and Adachi Kazuya were not people who dawdled; almost as soon as the broadcast finished, the two of them flashed onto the arena.

"So you're the eldest son of the Uchiha clan." Adachi Kazuya licked his lips and looked at Itachi provocatively.

As a wandering ninja, what he envied and was most jealous of in his life were the children of these clans. They didn't need to do anything to have the resources that wandering ninjas like him could never obtain even if they worked hard their whole lives. They were born superior to others.

After receiving divine revelation, all his feelings of envy and jealousy turned into contempt. He believed that he, having received divine revelation, was now superior to all other ninjas.

Even though those ninjas who knew sage techniques still lost to these divinely inspired individuals, Adachi Kazuya felt he had the potential to become a superior person.

Unfortunately, Itachi was not provoked as Adachi Kazuya had expected. Itachi's expression did not change at all, as if he had not heard Adachi Kazuya's words at all.

"As expected of the prestigious Uchiha clan, so arrogant. You rarely fail, do you? I'll let you experience the taste of defeat soon." Adachi Kazuya felt ignored and was somewhat annoyed.

He originally intended to provoke Itachi, then defeat him cleanly and mock him mercilessly, but Itachi's reaction made him look like a clown.

"You must have had a very difficult time before," Itachi finally said.

"You bastard!" Adachi Kazuya's forehead veins bulged as he thought he was being mocked.

"The ninja world that made your life so unpleasant certainly has many flaws, but that shouldn't be an excuse for how you've become who you are now," Itachi sighed softly.

He knew quite a bit of inside information, including that those so-called nameless powerhouses were basically wandering ninjas who had been bewitched by the Otsutsuki clan. These people had one thing in common: they were unhappy with their lives, dissatisfied with their current situation, and dissatisfied with the ninja world.

Adachi Kazuya became even angrier; he still felt that Itachi was mocking him.

"What do you know, young master?" Adachi Kazuya mocked.

However, what he didn't know was that Itachi truly understood, because Itachi had traveled all over the ninja world, visiting both impoverished small countries and developed, wealthy great countries, and thus pondered many things.

Itachi didn't answer Adachi Kazuya anymore. He knew that saying more was useless, and the main task now was to thwart the Otsutsuki's conspiracy.

"Battle begins!"

As soon as the referee finished speaking, Kazuya Adachi rushed out, eager to punch the rich young master who had mocked him.

However, Itachi, who had been practicing Sun Breathing for many years, possessed a powerful physique. He instantly activated his breathing technique and used his Mangekyou Sharingan to detect Adachi Kazuya's movements, easily catching Adachi Kazuya's fist and knocking him back with a single punch.

Adachi Kazuya recalled Itachi's power just now, and looked at Itachi with disbelief. He did not expect that Itachi, who did not look strong and was even a little thin, would have such power.

Adachi Kazuya dared not hold back, instantly unleashing all his power, his entire body covered in eerie black tattoos.

"Wait, this person's secret technique is so similar to that Kusa's." A viewer noticed the problem.

"They all have no battle record or reputation, yet they use a secret technique. Could these people be from a ninja organization?"

"What kind of ninja organization is that strong..."

Sensing that Adachi Kazuya's aura was rapidly growing stronger, Itachi remained calm and used his current strongest form.

"Susanoo!" Itachi's Mangekyou Sharingan spun rapidly, and orange-red chakra flames ignited around his body, suddenly creating a terrifying giant a hundred meters tall on the arena.

"Hey, are you kidding me? What is this thing? Won't it hurt the audience?" Some audience members were dumbfounded when they saw the 100-meter-tall Susanoo.

They had seen Susanoo before, but they had never seen such a terrifying Susanoo that was close to its complete form.

They even felt that Susanoo could flatten a mountain range with a single swing of his sword.

However, this was not the end. Itachi then used the power of the Magma-Magma Fruit, and magma continuously seeped from the surface of Susanoo, quickly forming a flowing magma armor!

Some viewers saw that the magma dripping from Susanoo turned the places it dripped into fire pits, and they couldn't help but feel fortunate that it was no longer a time of war. Otherwise, if Susanoo went to the battlefield, he would probably kill a lot of people with a wave of his hand.

Just when everyone thought Itachi was terrifying enough, a terrifying aura, like a blazing sun, erupted from the giant's body.

Chapter 608 Victory

heat.

This word inexplicably came to mind for the audience.

Soon everyone knew the reason.

Suddenly, a dazzling golden light emanated from the red-orange giant's body, and pale golden flames surged from the sword in his hand, enveloping his body.

Because of the giant's enormous size, the golden light almost covered the entire venue, as if a giant sun had appeared on the ground, turning the world into a golden-red color. The viewers of the live broadcast could only see that dazzling golden light.

As the golden light faded, some spectators looked curiously at the giant sword burning with golden flames, but suddenly felt a heat and their eyes became very uncomfortable, as if they were looking directly at the sun at its highest point. They quickly looked away and felt better.

One ninja had a flash of inspiration and used chakra to enhance his power, discovering that he could resist this force. He was somewhat impressed, thinking that these powerful figures were almost inhumanly strong, and even watching them required a certain level of skill.

"Holy crap, what is that? It's so cool!"

"Why is this person's style so different from the others? This sword strike might just change the terrain."

"I hereby declare that Uchiha Itachi will be my idol from now on. I'm really not familiar with the Fourth Raikage or anything like that."

"It's a Susanoo with a very high level of completion. According to records, its height is close to that of the legendary Uchiha Madara's Susanoo," Izumo explained.

"What a terrifying aura! We, the people below the ring, can feel it. And Adachi Kazuya, the giant, stands motionless without any fear. Is he going to repeat the miracle of shattering the immortal technique in the last match?"

Kotetsu noticed that Adachi Kazuya was standing still and assumed that he was not afraid of Itachi's Susanoo, which was a hundred meters tall.

The truth is that Adachi Kazuya was terrified.

When Itachi first used Susanoo, Adachi Kazuya was a little scared, but he could comfort himself by thinking that his big size was just a facade and that he would definitely win if he got divine inspiration.

When Itachi's Susanoo was covered by magma, Adachi Kazuya, who was close to the terrifying heat, had his eyelids twitch uncontrollably. But at this moment, he could still comfort himself that with the protection of divine revelation, the magma would definitely not kill him.

But after Itachi used the Sun Breathing Sage Mode and unleashed golden flames, Adachi Kazuya couldn't hold back any longer.

He could no longer deceive himself; his senses were screaming warnings that if he came into contact with that pale golden flame, he would definitely die!

Adachi also wanted to admit defeat; he didn't want to die.

But for some unknown reason, he was unable to control his body. The power that would have been enough to shatter a mountain was now unable to make him lift his lips.

fear.

A look of terror crossed Adachi Kazuya's face. He was not only unable to speak, but he was also losing control of his entire body.

Soon, Kazuya Adachi found that he no longer had the ability to move even a finger. It was as if this body no longer belonged to him. He was just a spectator, and could only watch helplessly as "himself" charged towards the tall magma giant.

Otsutsuki Kurama, now an ordinary person sitting in the audience, sneered. Did they really think their things were so easy to take? Since they had taken the benefits, they should properly fulfill their role as cannon fodder.

"Adachi Kazuya has calmly launched an attack under pressure. Is he planning to take advantage of his small size and agility?" Because most of his attention was on Susanoo, Kotetsu did not notice the slight abnormality in Adachi Kazuya before his charge.

"He's healed twice already, I feel like something bad is going to happen." The comments section thought that Adachi Kazuya, who was charging towards the magma Susanoo, was most likely to get hit.

“A miracle might have happened, but now that you mention it, I feel like it’s not going to happen.”

Although no one else noticed, Itachi, as his rival, noticed Adachi Kazuya's unusual behavior.

It suddenly showed a look of fear on its face, then rushed over without any expression; it was really strange.

However, even with everyone rushing forward, Itachi showed no intention of stopping the match. He immediately swung his Totsuka Blade, and towering golden flames swept towards Adachi Kazuya like a giant net.

As the terrifying pale golden flame drew ever closer, Adachi Kazuya desperately tried to regain control of his body and dodge, but how could he possibly outmaneuver Otsutsuki Kurashiki? Not only did he fail to regain control, Otsutsuki Kurashiki even went so far as to cruelly overload Adachi Kazuya's core, causing it to burn his life force even more fiercely.

The tattoos on Adachi Kazuya's body became deeper and darker, his aura continued to rise, and his hair, which began to turn gray, silently told the story of the price of this power.

Moreover, because his strength far exceeded his physical limits, Kazuya Adachi's body began to break down. Bloodstains appeared on his arms, thighs, and cheeks, but they healed quickly due to his super-strong healing ability.

"Aaaaaah!!" Adachi Kazuya's soul kept screaming in pain. Although he couldn't control his body, he still felt pain. He could clearly sense that his body was constantly breaking down and healing in a continuous cycle. At this moment, he was in unbearable pain.

The change in Adachi Kazuya happened in an instant. Sensing something was wrong, Itachi immediately unleashed Sage Chakra, slashing a golden flame at Adachi Kazuya, while the rolling magma covering his body also surged towards Adachi Kazuya.

boom.

A charred figure fell onto the arena.

"Itachi Uchiha wins!" The referee immediately declared Itachi Uchiha the winner after confirming Kazuya Adachi's condition.

Otsutsuki Kurashiki, sitting in the audience, shook his head. "The difference in strength is still too great. No matter how much life force he burns, it won't make up for it."

“That flame is not simple.” Otsutsuki Shuichi, who had been silent until now, finally spoke up.

"Did you see anything, Master Shuichi?" asked Otsutsuki Kurashiki. He didn't feel that the flame was particularly strong. If he were fighting Uchiha Itachi, he could stay still and let Uchiha Itachi burn for ten minutes.

“If you suppress your energy level to the same level as this Uchiha Itachi, you’ll know what this flame represents.” Otsutsuki Shuichi didn’t explain much to Otsutsuki Zangshiki.

"Haven't we encountered this in other missions before? It's fine for those below the god level, but it becomes somewhat redundant after breaking through to the god level." Ōtsutsuki Zōshiki thought that Shuichi's old habit had resurfaced.

Shuichi Otsutsuki stopped talking to Kurashiki Otsutsuki. He knew it was pointless; Kurashiki was a guy whose brain was all muscles.

However, this was indeed his own choice. If it were someone as resourceful as him, he would have to worry about whether that person would betray him or rebel against him.

Being brainless has its advantages.

"Thank you." As Itachi Uchiha stepped off the stage, Kazuya Adachi managed to say thank you to Itachi with difficulty.

He didn't die. At the crucial moment, Itachi stopped, only beating him until he couldn't move anymore. After that, Otsutsuki Kurashiki withdrew his control.

"No need to thank me. I didn't kill you simply because I am who I am," Itachi said calmly before walking away.

Adachi Kazuya felt ashamed when he recalled his initial provocation; he seemed to have become the person he used to hate the most.

Chapter 609 Otsutsuki Shuichi's Plan

The fourth battle was between two veteran powerhouses of the ninja world. Although it was good, after the previous few dramatic battles, the audience felt it was just average.

The fifth battle, however, really got many viewers on the edge of their seats.

"The fifth battle: Huangtu versus Xiaozhunagi."

Huang Tu is the son of the Third Tsuchikage and one of the representative ninjas of Iwagakure. Huang Tu's opponent, Kotake Nagi, was an unknown hidden master before the martial arts tournament.

This kind of showdown has generated some anticipation among the audience.
