Madara, let's change the world together!

Although many people were horrified by yesterday's bloodshed, they were still drawn to the combination of violence and beauty in the scene.

"Behold the performance of our ninjas from Hatsuhi Castle!"

"Kakashi, what should we do?"

In front of a large passageway surrounding the enormous city, Kakashi Hatake, Obito, and Rin Nohara were discussing their strategy.

As far as they knew, there were many teams participating in this competition.

There are teams composed of young people as well as teams composed of people in their thirties and forties.

"How could I possibly know?"

Kakashi Hatake glared at Obito with deadpan eyes.

"This is a completely unfamiliar place."

"To reach the Heavenly Arena at the top, in addition to the risks along the way, we also need to collect the energy cores hidden in the city."

According to previous statements, they need to collect three cores to open a passage to the Heavenly Arena.

Only three people can pass through each passage.

Without knowing how many energy cores or channels there are, you need to hurry if you want to get to the arena.

However, the city is very large and its internal terrain is extremely complex.

Unlike yesterday's Forest of Death, where anyone with Chunin strength could quickly reach the central area.

Even these Jonin were told that it might take a week to gather enough energy cores to head to the Heavenly Arena.

Of course, if it really takes a week, then they're basically eliminated.

"In short, let's go in first and do some reconnaissance."

"Rin is in charge of logistics. Obito, keep your Sharingan active the whole time and check for any unfamiliar chakra approaching."

"This time we must be prepared for a long battle."

After summarizing the current situation, Kakashi stepped into the large passageway.

The first step, naturally, is to enter this mechanical city.

However, it's certainly not easy to get in here.

About five minutes after the three of them had walked, the entire passage suddenly began to shake.

alert!

The three of them instantly and instinctively stood back to back.

The next second, they were surrounded by dark shadows.

"It seems the ninjas have already encountered their first major hurdle."

"And the first hurdle is—"

The scene shifted several times before settling on a three-person team from the Hidden Cloud Village.

"Wooden Dummy Alley!"

The young Cloud Village team, consisting of the dark-skinned Darui and the fair-skinned Samui and hope, officially faced off against a large number of mechanical wooden dummies.

These mechanical wooden figures resemble angry Buddhas, some with three heads and six arms, others wielding various weapons.

"Each team must first defeat the seventy-two wooden Buddha statues blocking the road."

"These wooden figures were designed and made by Lord Scorpion; they are puppets that combine artistry and combat power!"

Hachiro originally intended to hand the microphone to Sasori.

After thinking about it, forget it.

Let him be a quiet, handsome man.

"hope! You sense it!"

Sixteen-year-old Chunin Nozomi is a versatile ninja of the new generation from Kumogakure, skilled in genjutsu, medical ninjutsu, and possessing sensory abilities.

Although their combat strength isn't that great.

"Samui, help me!"

As a new generation of Jonin in Kumogakure who always remains calm and possesses a wealth of knowledge, Samui was given the role of strategist in this operation.

Her combat prowess is also worthy of her Jonin rating.

As for Captain Darui, who possesses the bloodline of Storm Release, he is naturally the sharpest blade in this team.

After Darui completed the hand seal, he placed his hands together in front of him with his fingers interlaced, and a blue light shone between them.

Storm Release: Resilience and Determination!

A burst of azure lightning, like flowing water, shot out.

More than a dozen beams of lightning moved swiftly through the air, aiming at the dozen or so angry Buddha puppets at the forefront.

At that moment, Samui, who had just drawn his dagger, was enveloped in lightning.

Lightning Release Chakra Mode!

Cloud flow·instant!

The sudden burst of lightning forced the enraged Buddha puppets that had surrounded them back.

Due to the rapid movement, Samui's breasts, which were even slightly larger than Tsunade's, swayed violently.

Since learning the three basic secret techniques passed down from Chu Ri, her strength has increased, but at the same time, her breasts have also undergone a second development, which has caused her considerable distress.

However, now is not the time to worry about these things!

The three of them frowned as they watched the wounds on the puppets heal at a visible speed.

"Darui, don't hold back!"

"Chakra can be replenished through food, so use your full power!"

Since that's the case!

Darui's entire body crackled with lightning as he formed hand seals once more.

Anyway, I still have plenty of chakra in my body, so I'll just blast all of this to smithereens!

About ten minutes later, all the Buddha statues and puppets on Kakashi's side were cleared away.

"As expected, it has a core."

Obito crushed the spherical core of the Buddha statue puppet in his hand.

The energy core they were looking for was square, but this wasn't it.

The seventy-two enormous Buddha statues were split in half and charred into black charcoal by flames.

These Buddha statue puppets are only at the level of an ordinary Jonin, and they do not have the ability to attack from a distance.

As long as the core can be destroyed, even a Chunin can defeat one or two of the puppets on their own.

"Let's keep going."

"I'm afraid these are just the most basic puppets."

The three of them walked out of the large passageway and suddenly found themselves in a bright and open space.

The vast, three-dimensional steel city instantly caught their attention.

Driverless vehicles occasionally speed along the streets, while various types of steel fish float in the sky.

"It seems that finding the energy core here won't be easy."

Kakashi glanced at it with his deadpan eyes.

"Why don't we go and take a look at the square here first?"

At that moment, Nohara Rin suddenly spoke.

"I think the puppet in the first level might be the clue."

"Since those Buddha-like puppets have energy cores inside, perhaps the core of a more powerful puppet is what we are looking for."

“The widest plazas with tall buildings should be easier to find.”

This idea seems promising.

"As expected of Lin!"

"That's so clever!"

Obito's sycophantic behavior disgusted Kakashi, who was standing next to him.

In the past, he did most of the analysis work for their missions, but did Obito ever praise him?

Oh, yes.

He said it in a very reluctant tone.

Having identified their target, the three acted swiftly.

They darted back and forth between buildings, skillfully maneuvering around obstacles with fluid, graceful movements.

Even speeding vehicles seemed a bit slow compared to them.

Swish!

About twenty minutes later, they successfully found a wide square along the street.

Just

"Why is the plaza up there?!"

They almost got lost just now.

I went into a tall building, but came out onto a wide road.
