Chapter 226 Red and White Contest!
If there was any instrument that could read the thoughts in Hashirama Senju's mind at this moment, one would probably see a few lines like this.
What's this?
Robbery?
Not sure, let’s wait and see.
What's this?
Robbery?
Not sure, let’s wait and see.
——The cycle continues.
However, for the boy, there was no response for a long time after he finished speaking... Isn't this another slap in his face! ?
The boy was so angry that he was ignored after speaking with great confidence:
"If you don't accept my toast, I'll have to drink the wine for you!"
Knowing this, Hashirama Senju, who was the first to react, quickly waved his hands.
"No, that's not it."
As he spoke, his face was still one part bewilderment, one part shock, one part helplessness and one part nervousness.
Logically speaking, as the leaders who once changed the world of ninja, they can be considered to be experienced in battle.
But don't talk about after death.
Even when they were alive, they had never seen such a thing.
Because it was too bizarre, their brains couldn't even process it for a while. After all, this was the first time for them since they were old enough to understand.
So people just crashed.
The process from receiving information to reacting takes several circles.
Not to mention coping with it.
But honestly, this feeling...
It’s actually quite fresh.
So Senju Hashirama poked his head in with a spirit of inquiry and asked:
"What if I don't give it to you?"
Although it seemed like he was arguing, Hashirama Senju was really just curious.
How can we make sure that their trip is in vain?
What is the judgment of "coming in vain"?
Could it be that this Ninja Survival has some hidden gameplay that they don’t know about?
However, his inappropriate curiosity seemed like picking trouble to the young man.
The boy was stunned for a moment, not expecting such a thing to happen, and then he was filled with anger:
Hello uncle.
I see that you are not young anymore, so I want to give you some face and let you go for a break, so that at least your grades won't be at the bottom.
In the end you guys are shameless and you fool me.
This matter can't be let go!
He waved to his brothers behind him on the spot.
He signaled his brothers to come together and teach these "old guys" who have been eliminated by the times a lesson and let them know how powerful he is.
Although the ninja world does not say that those who become Chunin at a young age are necessarily better than those who become Chunin at an older age.
Otherwise, there wouldn’t be such a phrase as late bloomer.
But most of the time, talent can indeed be seen from a young age.
Generally speaking, as long as they don't die young, most of the ninjas who become famous at a young age will become well-known figures in the ninja world - such as the "nin" in the past, and the recent ones are Kakashi Hatake and Scorpion of the Red Sand.
Of course, speaking of more recent times, there should also be Uchiha Shisui...but after his short-lived fame, he became Miss Ugetsu's personal assistant and no longer continued to make a name for himself in the ninja world.
Otherwise, he would definitely have a place as the leader of the new generation in the ninja world.
...Of course, it’s not that I feel sorry for him.
After all, this is a core position in Yuyue Store.
If a young person in your family could take up such a position at a young age, it would be a great honor for your ancestors, and in a sense, it would bring glory to your family... But I'm getting off topic.
In short, seeing that the 'uncle' didn't give them face, several young men were ready to launch a sneak attack without any moral principles on the spot.
However……
"ah!"
"Hand! My hand!"
"How……"
However, the development of things was completely different from what they imagined.
According to their fantasy, they, the future "rising stars" who had qualified for the Chunin Exam at such a young age, should have easily beaten the old man to his knees and begged for mercy, making them realize how wrong they were to fool a strong man like them.
But let alone taking action, they didn't even have time to imagine that "very satisfying" scene.
Our own people were defeated in various ways.
It happened so fast that they didn't even realize what was happening.
It was not until the pain coming from all over their bodies and the whole world seemed to be turned upside down that they realized what had happened at that moment.
Although he heard the cries of his brothers, the leading boy was unable to come to his senses because time passed so quickly.
Where is my brother?
What about my brothers who are also elites and have agreed to become important high-ranking officials in the ninja world together?
At this moment, the curious voice of Senju Hashirama was heard again:
"So, what are you going to do?"
He still thought this was some new way of playing that he didn't know about, and was even waiting for these people's follow-up.
This is robbery after all.
How can there be no trump card?
Maybe this is actually some kind of...process?
"What's the meaning of 'a free trip'?"
He blinked and waited for a long time but didn't hear the boy's answer. He could only say with a look of disappointment:
"Then what?"
“…Wha-what?”
Seeing the boy's dazed look, Senju Hashirama seemed even more anxious than him.
"That's the follow-up - aren't you guys robbing? What about the killer move afterwards?"
He is really anxious.
juvenile:"……"
If we still had a killer move, would we just be standing here like idiots?
Isn't this just not understanding why you lost?
Seeing the boy looking speechless, he turned to look at his companions. Then he quickly called out to his best friend:
"Hey, Madara, please loosen your grip a little, I can't speak anymore."
——To be more precise, the man's eyes were rolling and he was about to faint.
Although Uchiha Madara felt that Hashirama Senju was troublesome, it was his first time experiencing this after all, so he was somewhat curious.
So he just loosened his grip, at least allowing the person to breathe normally.
"Go ahead."
He said coldly.
Compared with the other two people, his fierce aura could not be suppressed even with disguise, and he frightened the boy's companions so much that they were speechless.
“I, I…”
In short, I spent a long time without saying a single useful word.
It’s over, everyone is so stupid.
Senju Hashirama's face was full of disappointment.
...After all, it was the first time I was robbed in my life.
He thought he could experience the whole process.
How come it just disappeared like that?
He even spoke with a determined look on his face:
"How about we let you go and give you time to prepare and try again?"
If it's the other person's first time, it's normal for them to be unprepared.
Senju Tobirama couldn't stand it anymore - who would send someone to rob him?
I'll give you some more time to prepare.
What's there to prepare for?
Then he spoke:
"Given the level of these people, even if you give them 10,000 chances to prepare, it won't make any difference."
My knee hurts.
"Don't say that." Senju Hashirama shook his head. "Everyone is good at something. What if these kids are just not good at fighting?"
If he had just poked the person's knee just now, then this time what Senju Hashirama did was really going to puncture the person's lungs.
Saying a ninja is 'not good at fighting' is no different from sentencing them to death, right?
Killing someone is not the right path. How can you press someone to the ground and rub him repeatedly?
The boy's brain, which was already insufficient, was now almost at a standstill.
In the past ten years of his life, he has never regretted so much as he does now. He wants to travel back to a while ago and give his then self a big slap in the face.
'Haven't you heard that old ginger is still spicy?'
Why did you go and provoke them for no reason? How could someone who got so many supply packs be as honest as he looks and rely solely on luck?
But everything is too late.
The Impure World Reincarnation team spent some time and conducted several tests, and finally confirmed that these 'robbers' were simply 'too inexperienced', and they were not hiding something and didn't want to tell them.
The identities of those people, including their ambitions when they came, and the greed they felt when they saw that they were "old men" but had taken so many supply packs...
Several people spilled out a series of previous consequences and mental journeys like pouring beans out of a bamboo tube.
Impure World Reincarnation Group: ...Actually, I don’t really want to hear so much.
But the boys had never seen such a scene before.
Seeing that the man had a serious expression of disbelief, I hurriedly spoke in more detail and more seriously - for fear that I would miss something and cause the other party's dissatisfaction.
Now it’s not a question of whether or not you can pass this round of Ninja Survival.
But if things go wrong, you might even lose your life here.
In their fear of death, they say nature is more detailed and more trivial.
It naturally sounds more like a headache.
“…That’s true.”
After figuring out the whole story, Senju Hashirama
The regret could not be hidden on his face.
This is a rare experience, it's a pity that it ended so poorly.
As a member of a long-established and powerful clan, he is also a ninja who made a name for himself at a young age.
In the past, when people walked on the street, they wouldn't even have time to hide, so how could they possibly come up to you just to 'rob' you?
It's not like his brain was damaged.
“…Shut up.”
It's okay if it happens once, but it's too much to keep talking about it all the time.
"But this is the first time, don't you feel regretful?"
Senju Hashirama continued to mutter.
"By the way, have you ever tried this 'cup noodles'?"
After waiting for a long time for a response from his brother and best friend, Hashirama Senju quickly changed the subject.
"The instructions say that you can just pour hot water into the noodle soup and eat it right away."
This was something he didn't have during his lifetime, and Hashirama Senju was very curious.
It’s a pity that his family’s reincarnated body cannot taste anything.
Otherwise you have to try a few cups.
——You speak as if you and I are not from the same generation.
Finally unable to bear it any longer, Tobirama Senju rolled his eyes, turned around and walked to the side.
Whoever wants to listen can listen, he is not going to go on anyway.
And all these 'precious scenes' were clearly displayed in front of Yu Yue who was watching through the art of mirage.
Yu Yue was also shocked.
"...Whose child is this? Why is he so fierce?"
That is a real tiger.
The first generation also dared to rob... Well, maybe when they were robbing, they really didn’t know that these people were the famous first generation Hokage.
But after all, he was an adult ninja much older than himself.
Is it really a good idea not to conduct even the most basic follow-up investigation?
"This basic skill is not even up to par."
Yu Yue pointed at the boys in the separate reality who looked listless and like eggplants hit by frost.
It's really miserable, but he deserves it... He really deserves it.
He deserves it so much that I can't even muster any sympathy for him.
"By the way, where's Kakuzu?"
Noticing that only the Mirage Technique was supporting this place but there was no user, Yu Yue couldn't help but turn her head and look around.
"Kakuzu-sama said he was going to greet the
Happy."
Uchiha Shisui responded immediately.
“You’re here so soon?”
Ugetsu blinked in surprise.
——You know, they took a long time to get here.
"We are all ninjas after all."
Uchiha Shisui thought it was normal.
They are all ninjas, and there is no need to slow down to appreciate the surrounding scenery.
Of course the efficiency of traveling is fast.
Ugetsu recalled the 'human express' she had experienced while lying on Shisui's body, and had to admit that what the other party said made sense.
It is indeed impossible to judge the method of transportation of a human lift by common sense.
——At least it is impossible for a normal person to literally climb mountains and cross rivers at a brisk pace.
"Then let's get ready too."
Yu Yue said this and prepared to get up to make some arrangements.
Uchiha Shisui naturally would not refute her opinion. He followed the girl like a shadow as always, just like every time in the past.
Preparations are being made outside, but the people on the isolated island are still unaware of this - they are still carrying out their own actions nervously.
Of course, it’s not true that no one noticed anything unusual.
"Do you think it's too quiet?"
In the base at the foot of the cliff, Umino Iruka looked around nervously.
"What's too quiet?"
The teammate who was cooking looked over in confusion.
"I mean, isn't it strange that we barely met anyone along the way?"
Although Umino Iruka had imagined himself killing everyone, he also thought about other powerful teams fighting and getting eliminated, and finally letting his team take advantage of the situation and become the vanguard... and so on.
But the overly quiet performance along the way still made him feel uneasy.
I always feel like something happened when I wasn't aware of it...
"Isn't it good to be quiet?"
The teammate who was cooking knocked on the wall of the pot with an expression that said, "You don't appreciate what you have."
"I heard that there was an unlucky team that did nothing after arriving on the island. They were just running around all the way. Not to mention picking up supplies, they didn't even have time to rest. In the end, they didn't even use one tenth of their abilities and had to leave in frustration."
Compared to
After a fierce battle and being defeated due to being outnumbered, what people cannot accept even more is that they have to exit the game in disgrace without even having a chance to perform.
The former can be said to be a "narrow defeat", but the latter can only be said to be so angry that he suffered internal injuries.
So isn’t it bad if you can’t meet anyone?
I happily picked up the supply bags and headed towards the finish line happily.
How happy.
"Just smile secretly - if you're still worried, why don't you just ask Ebisu when he comes back?"
"Perhaps."
Umino Iruka scratched his head.
It's better to go smoothly than to be eliminated as soon as you get ashore.
only.
He still seemed a little uneasy in his heart.
Is it really just as simple as 'luck'?
——Of course not.
Even Ebisu could only describe this as "extremely unlucky".
Originally, Ebisu shared the same idea as his teammates, thinking that the quietness this time was all because they were lucky.
I even fantasized for a while about the happy ending of "If the tiger and the lion die together, they might become famous all over the world."
But soon, he couldn't laugh anymore.
Ebisu searched around for a while, which took a lot of time, but he didn't find many supply packs - but since they didn't have much expenses along the way, he was not in a hurry.
But before he turned around, he saw a group of people acting suspiciously.
Unlike the usual contestants, these people all look like middle-aged people.
...at least around ten years old.
This is not right.
Why doesn't he remember these people being on the ship when he came here?
Could it be that someone sneaked onto the island?
That's not right. There are monitors around the island. With so many people showing up, it's impossible that no one would notice!
But then he noticed something else.
That is...
"So rich."
Looking at the things clanking around on those people, Ebisu was drooling.
Did they rob the supply ship? Otherwise, how could there be so many?
However, soon, Ebisu had no time to covet the supplies and equipment in those people's hands.
Because those who bumped into each other started fighting each other.
——What was unfolding before Ebisu next was a battle that could be called a 'textbook of ninja basic skills'.
No one uses any secret ninjutsu or bloodline limit.
Everyone uses the most basic moves and props.
But those people, with these basic things that were already a bit " outdated , made it seem like the sky was collapsing and the world was collapsing.
A kunai split the ground over there, and a shuriken cut the stone over here.
The steel wire swung like a whip, and a row of trees fell down in unison.
That's really horror opening the door to horror - horror to the extreme.
It even made him question his life at one point.
...Are we really all ninjas?
It doesn't make sense that there would be such a big difference, right?
That's too exaggerated.
However, what is even more terrifying is what these people said after such a battle.
"It feels good. Now I can finally stretch my muscles."
——When we were on the moon before, the most I could say was that I participated.
"Yes, it's a relief."
"Then, it's time to get down to business."
Several people stood there talking and laughing, as if waiting for something.
Soon, Ebisu's confusion was answered.
Because Miss Yu Yue's voice soon came from the sky.
"Hello, audience and contestants."
The young woman's voice echoed throughout the island and the surrounding 'observation decks'.
"First of all, please allow me to express my sincere welcome to everyone who has come. Next, I will announce the new rules of this "Moon Peace Cup" commemorative competition."
"For this Ninja Survival event, we have invited a group of mysterious guests to the event. These guests will form two teams, 'Red/White', with all the players to conduct an unprecedented bilateral competition."
"This competition will no longer be a simple victory for a certain person or a certain team, but the final result will be the victory of one side!"
Yu Yue's notice stunned everyone around her.
——But I was only confused for a moment.
The audience who reacted talked and cheered in surprise.
They never expected to encounter such a surprise.
The activities at Yuyue Store are really interesting!
Still full of
I was surprised - I had never heard of or seen this competition before.
But when I think of the ninjas' swift movements and fighting, I feel that it will definitely be an exciting game.
They watched more attentively.
After a brief moment of shock, the people on the island began to get nervous - mainly about the 'red/white' grouping.
I hadn't made any preparations beforehand, so who knew what group I would be assigned to and what kind of teammates I would meet.
The group of Impure World Reincarnation people who were wandering around the island curiously naturally heard the broadcast.
Like everyone else, they were also confused - after all, they had never heard of such a rule when they came up before.
But as an easter egg, it is not completely unacceptable.
Anyway, everything that happens here is new to them.
Since they are all fresh, it doesn’t matter which one is the fresh one.
What's more, this kind of battle between the two sides seems to be more interesting than the actions of individual teams.
"I wonder if we will be red or white."
Senju Hashirama's face was full of anticipation.
"How do we decide... do we do it by playing rock-paper-scissors?"
Then the winner is on one side and the loser is on the other side?
"...It certainly can't be such a childish method."
Uchiha Madara glanced at him.
Regardless of whether this method is childish or not, it is very unrealistic to gather so many people from all directions, divide them into groups, and then start to fight against each other.
This isn't a children's game.
"But if that's not the case, how do we divide it?"
Senju Hashirama was truly curious.
"Tobirama, do you have any better ideas?"
Senju Tobirama: "Why are you asking me?"
Do I look like someone who would think about such a strange question?
Ever since being resurrected by the Impure World Reincarnation, Tobirama Senju felt that he encountered some strange things every day.
All these things added together may be more than you have experienced in your entire life.
But no matter how angry he was, Senju Tobirama did not hate these things in his heart.
——Even if something unexpected happened, it would sound troublesome.
Of course he doesn't hate it, but that doesn't mean he will definitely like it and accept it.
"certainly
Because you are the smartest, Tobirama."
The eldest brother's matter-of-fact tone left Senju Tobirama speechless.
How could he refute this?
Are you saying that you are not smart?
But soon, the broadcast sounded again, freeing him from the embarrassment.
Ugetsu's voice sounded again.
"Then what will be carried out next is the grouping ceremony of the red/white groups. Please take out the supply packs you have received."
People on the island took out the materials they found in their supply packs.
Then, something magical happened.
The supply packs, which originally had a uniform appearance, suddenly had two different colors: red and white.
And as people took them out, the party with the advantage in numbers began to "infect" the colors next to them, until all the ninja tools were eventually dyed into one color.
Ugetsu's voice also sounded again as the color change ended.
"Okay, I believe everyone has seen the grouping results through the changes in the colors of the ninja tools."
"The one with red ninja tools is the red side, and the one with red ninja tools is the white side."
Ugetsu continued as he looked at the mirage jutsu in front of him.
"Well then, ninjas, please start the fun and exciting red/white competition!"
Ugetsu's voice came to an end.
The shock for the contestants on the island had just begun.
Senju Hashirama looked at his brother on the left, then looked at his best friend on the right, and opened his mouth several times:
"Ah this..."!
