At the same time, there were heated discussions in the audience.
"Hey, what kind of animal is this? Why have I never seen it before?" The Daimyo of the Fire Nation gently waved a paper fan, and his eyes lit up when he saw the sudden appearance of Mienshao.
The Daimyo of the Land of Fire had seen many rare and exotic animals, but this was the first time he had seen a beautiful and unique creature like Milotic.
From the perspective of the Fire Nation Daimyo, Menas' beautiful scales gleamed in the sunlight, as if inlaid with countless tiny gems, emitting charming brilliance.
"I haven't seen it either. It's so elegant and beautiful." The Daimyo of the Rain Country nodded in agreement.
Milotic has an upright and elegant figure, and exudes an indescribable charm just by floating quietly on the water.
"I don't know where I can buy one, but I think it would be very pleasing to the eye if I buy one and put it in the pool." The more the Daimyo of the Fire Nation looked at Milotica, the more he liked it.
"Me too." The Daimyo of the Rain Country said that he also liked Mienshao.
The other wealthy nobles who were not short of money had the same idea. Raising such a beautiful animal would not only be pleasing to the eyes, but also give them face.
Although the ninjas in the audience were also surprised by the beauty of Mienshao, they were more curious about another thing: how did Mienshao appear? They did not see Nohara Rin perform the summoning technique again.
"hold head high!"
Mienshao let out a threatening roar and stared at Kakashi, protecting Nohara Rin behind him.
Kakashi looked at the tall Milotic with interest. The change from Smelly to Milotic was much greater than that from Charmander to Charmeleon. He was curious about the strength of Milotic now.
Kakashi took a few steps back and prepared to test the ability of Mienshao. Merman had no fighting power before, and now Kakashi knew nothing about Mienshao.
"tornado!"
Milotic gathered its strength and swung its strong tail. In an instant, a whirlwind arose. Due to the accumulated water, a large amount of water was sucked into the whirlwind to form a water tornado.
"The wind chakra's chakra nature changes?"
Kakashi, who didn't know the information, did not choose to fight back. He retreated while trying to figure out the abilities of Milotic.
He just guessed that Milotic might be able to master the changes in the nature of water-attributed chakra, because Milotic was a fish before it evolved, and fish are related to water, which is very reasonable.
But now Kakashi is a little uncertain, because now Milotic is more like a snake, and if it is a snake, it seems normal that it is not water.
"Xiao Mei, you've really become stronger." Nohara Lin exclaimed when she saw that Mienshao could create a tornado over six meters long with just one of its tails.
It had no fighting power at all before evolution, but after evolution it seemed to be stronger than her. Ninja beasts are really amazing.
Mienshao lowered its head and rested it against Nohara Lin's forehead, its ruby-like eyes revealing joy.
It can finally fight for Nohara Rin like other ninja beasts.
"Try conventional attacks first." Kakashi took out five shuriken from his ninja tool bag, activated chakra and injected lightning chakra into them to change their properties.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!
Five shurikens with lightning flashed out at high speed.
Mienshao is so big that Kakashi doesn't even need to spend time aiming.
After noticing Kakashi's attack, Milotic quickly raised his head and concentrated his chakra.
"water gun!"
A thick column of water spurted out from Mienshao's mouth, and the powerful impact force knocked away all five attacking shuriken.
"Ouch!"
Mienshao let out a clear cry, glanced at Nohara Rin, then dived into the water and swam towards Kakashi at a rapid speed.
"Do you want me to stay where I am and not move around?" Nohara Lin understood the meaning of Mienshao's cry.
Nohara Lin was in a very awkward mood. Not long ago, it was she who asked Mienshao to retreat to a safe area, and now it was Mienshao who asked her not to take risks. Should she say that she was worthy of raising him?
"Sure enough, there are abilities related to water." Kakashi silently recorded the information while paying attention to the movements underwater.
Whoosh!
When Kakashi noticed that Mienshao was approaching, he suddenly dodged and retreated.
Crash!
The next moment, Milotic's slender body rushed out of the water at the place where Kakashi had just stood, causing a lot of splashes.
"Water Waves!"
After the collision missed, Milotic immediately launched the water-attribute chakra ball that it had condensed in advance.
Kakashi, in the transparent world state, saw through the attack of Milotic and used lightning chakra to strengthen his body and ran at high speed.
Boom!
The water-attributed chakra ball slammed into the water, and the powerful wave force instantly made the water surface, which had turned into a small lake, become agitated.
Huge waves splashed up, and waves that were taller than Kakashi's height hit Kakashi.
"What a huge increase in strength." Kakashi was secretly shocked after he steadied himself.
Before, even ordinary people could easily deal with Uchiha, but now, even ordinary Konoha jonin do not have the strength of Mienshao.
To prevent the car from overturning, Kakashi silently formed hand seals and used earth escape to control the ground to crack, causing the water field created by Kisame to disappear faster.
It would be fine if it was just Nohara Rin, but it would be wrong to let Milotic maintain the advantage on the field.
As its attacks kept failing, Milotic became a little impatient, and finally decided to use its strongest move to attack Kakashi.
While swimming towards Kakashi at a high speed, Milotic gathered a huge amount of chakra behind it.
Kakashi's speed is extremely fast thanks to the blessing of Thunder Breathing, but this is on the water after all, and it is the home ground of Mienshao. The distance between Kakashi and Mienshao is gradually shortened.
"Water Style: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"
Nohara Lin quickly formed hand seals and used her remaining chakra to perform water-style ninjutsu to assist Mienshao.
At this time, she had noticed that the water level was rapidly dropping. The sudden change was obviously not because the drainage system of the venue was good enough, but because Kakashi had just used a ninjutsu.
Roar!
The ferocious water dragon spun around Nohara Lin and finally rushed towards Kakashi.
At this time, Mienshao, who was approaching Kakashi, quickly converted the huge amount of chakra at the end of its tail into water-attribute chakra, and swung the tail containing powerful power towards Kakashi.
"Water Tail!"
Splash! !
The powerful force of Mienshao drove the few water flows on the field, and the water waves and tail attacked Kakashi together.
Coupled with the water dragon bullet released by Nohara Rin, it seemed that Kakashi had entered a dangerous situation with nowhere to hide.
"You fought well, that's how it should be!" Obito in the lounge cheered for Mienshao.
It doesn't matter where Milotic comes from. What matters is that Milotic is about to help Nohara Rin defeat Kakashi!
At this moment, Obito only regretted not bringing the camera to the stadium, otherwise he would have definitely recorded this moment.
"Kakashi, your life is like a candle in the wind." Obito laughed and mocked Kakashi in his heart.
He usually has a lot of theories, but in the end he was defeated by Nohara Lin.
Bang!!
It seemed that the joint attack of Nohara Rin and Mienshao was impossible to avoid. After Kakashi tried his best to dodge, he was still hit and fell to the ground, splashing a lot of mud and water, making it difficult to see Kakashi's figure.
At this time, the water depth was less than 0.5 meters, and the water was still flowing rapidly.
"Did we win?" Nohara Lin was a little unbelievable.
She really didn't think that she could beat Kakashi if Kakashi didn't hold back. After all, the gap between her and Kakashi was visibly large, and she didn't have the ability to restrain Kakashi.
Who could have imagined that the Clownish Fish would communicate with the slug and evolve into Milotic, and that Milotic would become so powerful. Everything seemed like a dream.
Zizizi!
A hand covered with yellow mud emerged from the water, an electric noise sounded, and a dazzling purple light covered the mud on the palm. Kakashi climbed up in an embarrassed state.
Without any order from Nohara Rin, Milotic immediately spit out a stream of water towards Kakashi who was climbing up.
Kakashi also unceremoniously released lightning to counter the incoming water column.
Nohara Rin had no chakra left to use ninjutsu or physical techniques, so she could only retreat quietly and keep a distance from Kakashi to prevent Kakashi from finding an opportunity to take advantage of her.
But just as Nohara Lin was paying attention to the battle between Milotic and Kakashi, she did not notice a hand silently reaching out from the ground at her feet.
"Earth escape: Heart beheading technique!"
When Nohara Lin noticed something wrong with her calf, her face suddenly changed, but at the moment she had neither time to perform the Water Instant Body Technique nor the chakra to use her supernatural power to crack the ground directly.
A huge pulling force came from underground, pulling most of Nohara Lin's body into the ground.
After doing all this, Kakashi squatted beside Nohara Rin and pointed the kunai at Nohara Rin.
The referee thought for a moment and announced the result of the battle directly: "Hatake Kakashi wins!"
Although Milotic is still energetic and can continue fighting, this is Rin Nohara's match. If it were a real fight, Rin Nohara would have been dead.
"Damn white-haired bastard, you have no moral principles at all!" Upon seeing this, Obito called Kakashi despicable.
Instead of fighting against a good Mienshao, he went to trick, sneak attack and bully Nohara Rin who had no chakra.
"You're worthy of being Kakashi. You weren't hurt at all just now, were you?" Nohara Rin smiled helplessly.
When she thought she was going to lose, she suddenly won. When she thought she won, she lost again. Nohara Lin's mood was like a roller coaster, repeatedly rushing back and forth between lows and highs within a few seconds.
The moment she was pulled in, she kept thinking, if she was in her prime, with the help of Milotic, would she win in the end?
However, Nohara Lin's mentality was generally good, because her original plan was to hold on to Kakashi for three minutes, and it would be considered a success if she could cause some damage to Kakashi.
Fighting Kakashi to this point was actually exceeding the mission.
Kakashi nodded.
Although it looked tragic just now, Kakashi was just hit by Nohara Lin's Water Dragon Bullet and the aftermath of Mienshao's Water Tail.
Kakashi used the Armament Haki to protect key body parts, causing him to only look disheveled at the time, but in fact he was only slightly injured.
In order to end the battle more steadily, Kakashi used the mud and water to cover himself and performed the Shadow Clone Technique the moment he fell down. He let the shadow clone use earth escape technique to sneak underground to attack Nohara Rin who had no chakra, while the main body used lightning escape technique to attract attention and then hold back Milotic.
Without much explanation, Kakashi canceled the Shadow Clone Technique and used Earth Escape to release Nohara Rin.
Seeing that Nohara Rin was also covered in mud, Milotic concentrated its chakra to create a ball of blue-green water next to Nohara Rin.
The water ball exploded around Nohara Rin, and the blue-green liquid enveloped Nohara Rin, washing away the mud on Nohara Rin's body, and at the same time healing all the scratches on Nohara Rin caused by being dragged into the ground. Even Kakashi next to Nohara Rin felt the feeling of his body being repaired.
"Such a comfortable chakra." The slug looked at Milotic with curiosity.
"Is this a change in the nature of water chakra or yang chakra?" Kakashi was unable to determine what ninjutsu Milotic was using.
Judging from the effect of the ninjutsu, the ninjutsu that Milotic just used was like Yang Release, and his injuries recovered quickly, and his body felt much more relaxed.
But the healing effect just now was from Milotic's blue-green water droplets, and it is not ruled out that it was Milotic's own special water escape technique.
After all, Shisui's Zoroark has special illusions, and it is not impossible that Milotic has a special water escape technique.
"Ah~"
Mienshao lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Nohara Lin, and his voice was a little muffled.
This was its first battle with Nohara Lin, but such an important battle was lost because of its carelessness.
"It's okay, you've tried your best. It's my problem." Nohara Lin gently stroked Mienshao's milky white body and comforted her.
Since Milotic evolved during battle, Nohara Rin was not clear about Milotic's specific abilities and could not cooperate well with Milotic. In addition, she was at a disadvantage in the previous battle, which caused her to consume a lot of physical strength and chakra.
If we have to share the blame, Nohara Rin will definitely take the blame.
Milotic shook its head, and its red hair-like fins swayed along with it. If it weren't for Rin Nohara, it wouldn't have the courage to fight like this, and it wouldn't have been able to evolve.
"Ahem, the winners please go back to the lounge to rest. The losers may choose to go to the audience seats." The referee reminded.
Kakashi understood what the referee meant, said goodbye to Nohara Lin and walked back to the lounge.
Nohara Lin stood on tiptoe, touched the head of Milotic, cancelled the summoned beast, and left the stadium for the audience seats.
As he was in a rather disheveled state, Kakashi did not return to the lounge immediately. Instead, he went to the player facilities next to the lounge to wash up and clean off the dirt and sand on his body.
"The strength gap of Milotic is too big. There is a high probability that Obito now cannot defeat the combination of Milotic and Rin." Kakashi wiped his dripping white hair with a towel, still recalling the battle just now.
If Nohara Rin had not been beaten to the point of almost losing her combat ability before her Mienshao evolved, Kakashi would never have won so easily.
Kakashi hardly attacked Milotic and won by targeting Nohara Rin.
"It seems that we still underestimated the ninja beast that Teacher Mu Yue gave us." Kakashi felt that Rock Dog might become his fighting force faster than he thought.
Milotic has no combat experience at all, but he has such strength just by using random ninjutsu. If he practices for a month, he might be able to suppress Obito alone by using the power of water overcoming fire.
Kakashi is increasingly looking forward to Rock Dog's evolution.
After finishing washing up, Kakashi walked back to the lounge.
"Kakashi, is that big creamy water snake Lin's new summoning beast?" Obito couldn't help but ask as Kakashi walked into the lounge.
Kakashi looked strange. Mienshao is so beautiful, why do you call it a creamy water snake?
"It's Mei." Kakashi answered simply.
"How is this possible, this is..." Obito's face was full of shock. He was completely unable to equate the Milotic that appeared before with Nohara Rin's Ugliano.
Charmander's evolution into Charmeleon is the same species becoming more mature, but Milotic and Clownish don't seem to be the same species.
"No matter what you think, it is reality." Kakashi replied calmly.
Just like Kakashi can accept a dog hatching from an egg, existence is reasonable, and it is normal that the affairs of ninja beasts are different from those of ordinary animals.
"Well, that's pretty impressive. You became that much stronger all of a sudden." Obito said, scratching his head.
Although he had not faced it personally, he could tell from watching the movements of Mienshao's ninjutsu that Mienshao's strength was extraordinary.
"Why are Charmeleons so different even though they both evolve?" Obito thought of his own ninja beasts.
His Charmeleon was the first Pokémon to evolve, but it couldn't even beat the unevolved Grunt.
At this moment, Obito wished that his Charmeleon could learn how to change the nature of lightning chakra overnight to get rid of the fire attribute of his subordinate.
"Uchiha Shisui wins!"
While Kakashi was chatting with Obito and Might Guy, Shisui defeated his opponents and won.
When Shisui returned, he asked Kakashi similar questions as Obito, but his words were more civilized.
"I see. Evolution can actually bring about such great changes and improvements." Shisui had a thoughtful expression.
Comparing Charmeleon and Milotic, he felt that not every ninja beast could undergo such a drastic change after evolution.
It is precisely because of the weakness of the Merman period that the evolved Milotic shines.
Next, Shisui and the other three discussed the experience of breeding ninja beasts in the lounge while watching the battle. There were only three matches left in the second round, and they were all familiar faces. The last one was even played by Obito himself.
In the third to last match, Asuma won the game with his sharp wind escape technique.
In the penultimate match, Mei Terumi flexibly used her two bloodline limits and demonstrated powerful water jutsu, successfully advancing to the quarterfinals.
In the last match, facing the genius ninja from Kusanagi Village, Obito went full throttle at the beginning, entering the Flame Breathing Chakra mode and using Fire Style to kill his opponent instantly.
Although this fire escape technique is inferior to others, it is still quite useful for beating weak opponents.
At this point, the second round of the Youth Martial Arts Tournament ended, the top eight of the Martial Arts Tournament were produced, the first day of fighting ended, and the contestants and spectators began to leave.
"Senior Hanzo, how do you feel?" Mu Yue looked at Hanzo and asked with a smile.
"The ninja world is filled with geniuses," Hanzo commented.
Before coming to watch the game, Hanzo could never have imagined that there was actually a ninja who had a chance to compete with Nagato for the championship. You know, Nagato is a genius with the eyes of a fairy.
Now Hanzo's motivation for watching the game is to see Nagato lose, and then take the opportunity to observe Sosuke's expression.
Among the top eight, only Nagato is left as a Ninja from the Ninja Clan. If Nagato doesn't make it to the top four, the Ninja Clan will give away all the rewards.
"It's a pity that there's no one from the Rain Village." Kakuzu added.
Hanzo's face quickly darkened. There was no need to emphasize this kind of thing.
"Since we are partners, Hanzo, let me show you a way. The Ninja Clan is now taking over the training of ninjas. If you Rain Ninjas don't know how to teach, you can pay someone to help you teach." Kakuzu stated his purpose.
There is nothing else but the gold coins of the Exploding Rain Village. At the same time, in the future, we can use simpler methods that will not cause turmoil in the situation in the Rain Country to deal with the Exploding Rain Village.
"Originally, our Ninja Clan didn't have the time for this, but we started this business because Iwagakure sent us a high-priced commission."
"So that's how it is. No wonder there are so many Iwagakure working in Rokudo Castle." Hanzo suddenly realized something.
It has to be said that Kakuzu's words were indeed convincing, as he had a colleague from the Iwagakure Village, one of the five major ninja villages, and he had the reputation of Master Sosuke as a guarantee.
"There's no need to trouble you guys from the Ninja Clan for now," Hanzo refused.
Although it sounds good, it would be easy for the Ninja Clan to insert spies among the Rain Ninjas.
Kakuzu didn't persist and stopped talking after Hanzo refused.
He had expected this. After all, Hanzo didn't look stupid and it was impossible for him to agree easily.
He was just laying the groundwork. This kind of thing cannot be accomplished in a day or two.
…
Due to the elegant and beautiful appearance of Mienshao, after Nohara Lin arrived at the audience seats, many people chased her and asked her where to buy Mienshao. Among them were not only wealthy nobles, but also many ninjas.
Because in the battle, Milotic proved that it is not just a vase. It has both good looks and powerful strength.
But the Milotic egg was given by Mu Yue, and Nohara Lin never asked Mu Yue where she got the egg, so naturally she couldn't answer other people's questions.
Seeing that today's martial arts competition was over, Nohara Lin, who was really annoyed, ran to Mu Yue.
"I got her ninja beast by chance. If you are interested, you can go look for it. But I don't recommend it because I have already looked for it." Mu Yue casually mentioned a remote area to get around it.
The famous Lieyang Muyue personally started to explain, and instantly no one dared to continue to pester Nohara Lin.
"Little girl, your name is Nohara Rin, right? I am very interested in that ninja beast. I am willing to pay 50 million taels to buy it. What do you think?" The Daimyo of the Fire Country chose to activate his money ability.
The Daimyo of the Land of Rain originally wanted to buy from Nohara Rin, but when the Daimyo of the Land of Fire spoke, he shut up.
"My Lord Daimyo, I'm sorry, Xiaomei is very important to me and her value cannot be measured by money." Nohara Rin rejected the proposal of the Daimyo of the Fire Country without hesitation.
Nohara Lin has never had any desire for money, and she certainly would not sell her precious partner for such a thing.
Moreover, Nohara Lin does not think that she is qualified to buy and sell Milotic. Milotic and she have an equal relationship.
"Then 90 million taels?" The Fire Country Daimyo thought that the money was not enough, so he almost doubled the price.
However, Nohara Lin still refused immediately without any hesitation.
"In that case, there's nothing we can do. I hope Mu Yue, you can help me keep an eye out for other similar ninja beasts. My price will not change." The Daimyo of the Fire Country said to Mu Yue.
There was nothing he could do if Nohara Lin didn't give it to him. He couldn't just snatch the girl's pet away. He could only ask the discoverer Mu Yue to pay more attention, and then issue an S-level mission to capture ninja beasts in Konoha.
Mu Yue nodded and agreed.
"It turns out that big countries are richer." Mu Yue thought to herself.
If Kakuzu heard the words of the Fire Nation Daimyo, Mu Yue guessed that Kakuzu would transform himself into Milotic and collect the bonus.
This is a full 90 million taels, worth 2.5 Asma.
"Teacher Mu Yue." Obito and others greeted Mu Yue after leaving the players' lounge.
Mu Yue responded with a smile one by one, then looked in a certain direction.
Scorpio walked for a while with an expressionless face and then changed direction naturally. The moment he turned around, his brows were furrowed.
"Lieyang Muyue is here too, and he looks like Kakashi Hatake's teacher." Scorpion suddenly felt that the difficulty of killing Kakashi had increased to another level.
Even the wandering scorpions have more or less heard of some of Lieyangmuyue's deeds.
After just staring at each other for 0.1 second, Scorpion knew that Mu Yue was no one who gained his fame for nothing.
He had tried his best to hide himself just now, and had been observing with the corner of his eye, but even so, he was discovered by Mu Yue in an instant.
"We need to conduct more investigation and research on this place." Scorpion understood that now was not the time to carry out an assassination, so he prepared to familiarize himself with Liudao City first.
Even though his opponents include famous strongmen like Lieyang Muyue and geniuses like Might Guy and Shisui, Scorpion still feels that he can kill Kakashi. He has no doubt that he has this ability.
The third Kazekage, who was known as the strongest Kazekage, died in his assassination. No matter how strong Lieyang Muyue was, could he be stronger than the third Kazekage?
"Is there anything over there?" Obito followed Mu Yue's gaze, but found nothing, and asked in confusion.
"Nothing." Mu Yue replied with a faint smile.
Although he is a shadow clone, he just can't identify the data on Scorpion. It would be a dream for Scorpion to hide in front of him.
He didn't need to conduct an identification because Mu Yue had already looked at Scorpion's data when he registered.
Mu Yue has two main purposes for holding the Youth Martial Arts Tournament. One is to solve the economic problems of the Ninja Clan, and the other is to train disciples.
In order to prevent the emergence of too outrageous monsters, Mu Yue has identified every contestant.
Scorpion thought he was hiding well, but in fact, Mu Yue just felt that Scorpion didn't need his real body to deal with him directly.
"Rin, your last battle was so exciting. You almost won under such circumstances." Obito turned to look at Nohara Rin, and excitedly discussed the second round of battle with her.
"It's not as exaggerated as you said, Obito. It's mainly Mei who's doing the hard work." Nohara Rin is very self-aware.
"But Mei is your summoning beast, its strength is the same as your strength." Obito said as a matter of course.
Obito is now a little envious of Nohara Rin. As both of them are evolved ninja beasts, he feels that Milotic can beat Charmeleon to the ground with just one blow of its tail.
Whether in terms of size or hard power, Charmeleon is far inferior to Milotic.
Kakashi showed a regretful expression. He thought Obito would continue to call Milotic a "cream snake", and then something interesting would probably happen.
"Xiao Lin, can you tell me the details of Xiaomei's evolution?" Shisui wanted to learn excellent training experience from Nohara Lin.
"Okay." Nohara Lin agreed readily.
