"Kotake Nagi Katsu!"
To the surprise of the audience, Huang Tu lost quickly and decisively.
"There used to be a debate about who was stronger between Hiroto and Mei Terumi, but now there's no need to argue about it."
Some viewers started mocking the loess soil in the live chat.
However, what they didn't know was that the clean and decisive defeat wasn't because Huang Tu was too weak, but because Kotake Nagi was too strong, or more accurately, Otsutsuki Zangshiki was too strong.
Because he had lost to Itachi once before, Otsutsuki Kurashiki was very unhappy, so he logged in and stomped on weaker opponents.
"Don't you guys think something's a little off? Why do those people have so many strange tattoos? And they weren't famous before."
Some viewers also felt something was very wrong; these people seemed to be connected in every way.
In fact, someone on site had already discovered this and reported it to their superiors, but they were told to maintain the status quo.
"Sigh." Looking at his son who had been brutally beaten, Onoki sighed helplessly.
"How come these guys have suddenly become stronger again?" A hint of worry flashed across the Fourth Raikage's dark face.
"The next match is next..."
The Raikage was initially quite confident in Killer Bee, but this sudden change made him feel uneasy.
In the end, the Raikage's feeling came true.
The disgruntled Ōtsutsuki Zōshiki didn't stop after finishing one round; he continued to play on behalf of others.
Even though Killer Bee was a perfect Jinchūriki, and the Eight-Tails had learned Sage Mode and was willing to continuously refine Sage Chakra for Killer Bee, Killer Bee was still defeated by Zang Shiki in the end.
Both those at the scene and those watching the live stream found the result unacceptable and felt extremely sorry for the audience.
Compared to Mei Terumi and Kyoto, Killer Bee's strength is on another level. As a perfect Jinchuriki, he can use both Tailed Beast Chakra Mode and Sage Mode simultaneously with the help of the Tailed Beasts, making him extremely powerful.
If he had been defeated by other well-known and powerful figures, that would be one thing, but his opponent was clearly problematic.
"These contestants clearly have problems; I suggest a thorough investigation."
"Even I, who am not a ninja, feel something is wrong. Are all the people at the scene blind?"
The comments section was flooded with messages, all feeling that something was off about those tattooed ninjas with secret techniques.
"How could a grown man be defeated by an unknown nobody?"
"Are these people practicing the same secret technique?"
The audience members started discussing it, and the venue became noisy.
"Hehe, Master Shuichi, these natives seem to have noticed something." Otsutsuki Zangshiki began to communicate with Otsutsuki Shuichi using a special method.
“It’s alright. If we can’t even notice this, then we’d be nothing more than uncivilized beasts,” Otsutsuki Shuichi said calmly, without the slightest hint of panic.
The discovery of problems among those contestants was within Shuichi Otsutsuki's expectations. After all, they were mass-produced natives with limited and simple methods of enhancement, making it too easy for problems to be detected.
But this did not affect Otsutsuki Shuichi's plan in the slightest.
So what if they're discovered? Do you think they'll find out he's been hiding in the shadows all along?
The lives of those natives he enhanced were entirely in his hands, and they had no chance to expose their information. Even if the other side learned the information through some means, it would not include him, but only Otsutsuki Kurashiki.
So Otsutsuki Shuichi really didn't care. If the problem was discovered, so be it. It wouldn't expose him anyway. He was just there to test his strength, and his goal wasn't to win the martial arts tournament.
In Shuichi Otsutsuki's rehearsal, he could fight normally in the early stages before being discovered, thus speculating on the strength of the ninja world. After being discovered, he forcibly controlled and strengthened natives to carry out suicide attacks, further testing the high-level combat power of the ninja world. Then, he had Kōshiki Otsutsuki take action for the final test.
Shuichi Otsutsuki would estimate the probability of winning based on the opponent's strength. If he had a chance of winning of over 90%, he would take action. If not, he would immediately retreat and request reinforcements.
In Otsutsuki Shuichi's mind, everything else is secondary except for him. If Nagasawa's strength is too great, he will simply ignore Otsutsuki Zangshiki and run away.
'However, such a planet could not possibly give birth to a high-level god,' Shuichi Otsutsuki thought to himself.
Based on the current average performance of the ninja world, the level of a beginner god should be the limit. Considering the variables brought about by the Otsutsuki group, the level of a mid-level god should have appeared long ago.
A high-level god is not something that just anyone can achieve. Even a direct descendant of the Otsutsuki clan with a powerful bloodline like him, with the help of the Divine Tree's fruit, still cultivated for thousands of years to reach his current strength.
The barrage of comments and the excitement at the venue did not affect the progress of the match.
However, the next battle made many viewers feel a bit better.
"Uchiha Shisui vs. Hiroshi!"
Hiroshi Nakagawa was also a wandering ninja who was enhanced by the Otsutsuki clan.
However, his great strength and explosive power had no effect on Shisui. Until the moment of defeat, Nakahiro never even touched the hem of Shisui's clothes.
From the very beginning, Nakahiro was under the spell of Shisui.
From his perspective, he was furiously beating Shisui, victory was within reach, but from the audience's perspective, Nakahiro was like a man possessed, frantically pounding the ground while laughing maniacally.
Even when he was severely injured by Shizuku, Zhong Guangzhao was still completely bewildered.
"How is this possible? Why is this happening? Could it be an illusion? Impossible, I have no recollection of it at all." Zhong Guangzhao looked at Shishui in disbelief. He couldn't believe that his strong senses hadn't detected when he was under an illusion.
"When did you develop the illusion that you could detect all illusions?" Shisui slowly sheathed his sword. His Mirror Flower Water Moon and Sharingan illusions were not for nothing.
Shisui's victory reassured many viewers.
It wasn't because they were all fans of Shisui and Killer Bee that they were worried about their victory or defeat; what they were truly worried about was order and peace.
The current peace and harmony in the ninja world is a result of the Ninja Alliance. It's hard not to worry about the changes that are happening in the martial arts world now.
If the Ninja World Alliance, which represents order, is stronger, then things won't be too serious, and at least it won't return to the era of frequent wars.
Chapter 610 Showdown
"Naruto, aren't you amazing? We Uchiha are the best!" Sasuke couldn't help but gloat to Naruto after seeing Shisui easily defeat his opponent.
Naruto looked at Sasuke's proud face and couldn't help but show a speechless expression. Anyone who didn't know better would think that Sasuke had gone up and won the match.
"Shisui-senpai is amazing, why are you so arrogant?" Naruto didn't hold back at all.
"You wait, tomorrow I'll go ask Brother Shisui for genjutsu, and then I'll make you laugh like an idiot while smashing the ground." Sasuke immediately retorted and made a threat.
"If you're so capable, go learn it! You think you can deal with me with your pathetic genjutsu? I have Kurama helping me, I'm not afraid of genjutsu at all!" Naruto declared, showing no fear.
"Do you think our Uchiha Sharingan genjutsu is just some ordinary, common genjutsu? Even tailed beasts can't stop it." Although Sasuke didn't know if the Sharingan genjutsu was really effective, he obviously couldn't show weakness at this moment.
"We'll just have to wait and see." Naruto appeared strong on the surface, but he was also a little apprehensive inside. He had also learned about the Nine-Tails' dark history, and maybe the Sharingan genjutsu really would work.
'I'll ask Uncle Nagasawa if he has any good ideas then,' Naruto thought to himself. Sasuke could go to Shisui, and he could certainly go to Nagasawa for advice.
“You two seem to have a lot of free time. Should I give you something to do?” Yongze suddenly appeared in front of the two of them.
"What's wrong?" Naruto asked curiously.
"It's like fighting terrorists, but from a security perspective, Naruto, you have to go with Minato, while Sasuke can go with Itachi," Nagasawa said after thinking for a moment.
Although their combat power is excessive, it wouldn't hurt to train them a bit. You know, in the original timeline, the two of them were almost able to defeat Kaguya. Under her tutelage, Naruto and Sasuke are even stronger than in the original story.
Upon hearing from Nagasawa that he could fight alongside his father, Naruto immediately agreed. He had never fought alongside his father before and was very much looking forward to it.
Sasuke nodded quickly, finally able to show off his skills in front of his brother.
After notifying the young ninjas who were strong enough, Nagasawa began the next step. All preparations were complete, and it was time to close the net.
If only one person or none of them came, that would be fine, but since both of them are here, they're not leaving.
"Due to unforeseen circumstances, all contestants are requested to assemble on the ring."
Just as everyone was waiting for the list of contestants for the next battle to be announced, the broadcast ordered all contestants present to enter the arena; anyone with the ability to move was required to do so.
"Master Shuichi, shall I go down?" Ōtsutsuki Zangshiki looked at Ōtsutsuki Shuichi, who was also a contestant.
"Go, but don't rush to attack after you go down. Use those natives to probe their strength. If you can, kill them all," Xiu Yi said calmly.
At this moment, Xiu Yi had already begun to circulate his power, ready to strike at any moment, whether it was to kill the enemy or simply to run away.
Otsutsuki Shuuichi glanced at Nagasawa, who was sitting with the Five Kage. Nagasawa sensed something, smiled, and made no other move.
After all the contestants had arrived, Kakashi walked up to them.
Many contestants were looking at Kakashi. They had already been informed of some information, including that many of them were shadow clones rather than their original selves. The live stream also gave a close-up shot to Kakashi.
"I have some unfortunate news to share: the martial arts tournament will be temporarily suspended." Kakashi paused for a moment before continuing.
"I believe that everyone who has been watching the game for so long must have some guesses in mind."
The live stream viewers nodded to themselves. Of course they knew; those people were so arrogant, anyone with eyes could see it.
"That's right, our ninja world has been invaded by aliens again!" Kakashi said solemnly.
Kakashi's words caused a flurry of question marks to appear in the live stream chat.
"Shouldn't it be a hidden ninja organization causing trouble? What's with the alien invasion? Is this a scene from a movie shoot?" one viewer couldn't help but complain.
"If this is an official prank, it's outrageous. This is the final of the martial arts tournament. Although alien invasion movies are popular lately, it doesn't have to be like this..."
Aside from the middle and upper echelons of the Ninja Alliance, ordinary people and ninjas are unaware of anything related to the Otsutsuki clan.
After all, making such things public too early will only cause panic among the public and attract a group of troublemakers who thrive on chaos.
But this opportunity was simply too good to pass up. Both Otsutsuki clans were present, and it was the highly anticipated martial arts tournament in the ninja world. This was an excellent time to make the announcement.
The Otsutsuki's immense power may still cause some panic, but Nagasawa believes that more people will see hope in his suppression of the Otsutsuki.
As Kakashi continued to talk more and more, and with the overwhelming amount of information about the Otsutsuki invasion appearing online, everyone realized that this was not a joke.
"Holy crap, so the mysterious attack on the Kazekage that almost killed him back then was actually the work of aliens. No wonder such a big thing was left unresolved."
"What's so surprising? The Fourth Shinobi World War was started by the Village of Light and Shadow, and the Otsutsuki clan was involved in it."
"Even Chakra Technology Company is related to the Otsutsuki clan."
"Even the legendary Sage of Six Paths..."
After reading the information, everyone was shocked because they discovered that aliens, who seemed to be far away from them, actually had so many connections with the ninja world.
After the initial shock came a deep sense of unease. If it was just a ninja organization, they had confidence in Nagasawa and his group, as it was the Ninja World Alliance, which brought together all the power of the ninja world. But if the opponent was an alien, the outcome would be uncertain.
Let alone those who only just learned a little bit of information now, even the ninjas in the Ninja Alliance who knew about the Otsutsuki clan before are a little panicked.
It was because they knew about the Otsutsuki that they knew how strong they were. In front of such powerful beings, numbers became meaningless.
"And the intruder is actually hidden among our contestants." Kakashi looked at Otsutsuki Kurashiki without any attempt to hide his intentions.
Since the Otsutsuki clan had already been exposed, they decided not to hide it anymore and reverted to their Otsutsuki form.
