Chapter 86: Imperial Capital Martial Arts Tournament? It's Konoha's Intimidation Conference!
Chapter 86: Imperial Capital Martial Arts Tournament? It's Konoha's Intimidation Conference!
"Even Rai's Governor is here."
Oonoki and Terumi Mei smiled at the approaching figure.
"In that case, the people from Oasis should be here too."
Empire's Tsunade commented, and in the distance, several exoskeleton mechas flew by, retracting into the Oasis people's backpacks as they drew near.
"Governor Ro of Green State is here too. Why didn't you bring Scorpion along?"
"Scorpion is busy developing even stronger super-mechas and couldn't make it."
Governor Ro of Green State replied with a smile.
Seeing most of the familiar faces, Tsunade of the Ninja World and the Konoha ninjas from another world couldn't help but gasp.
A bad feeling crept into their hearts.
From the snippets of conversation they had overheard earlier, they could piece together some intelligence.
For example...
These guys didn't seem to take the Ninja World seriously at all.
In their eyes, the Ninja World seemed like a backward little village that they could manipulate at will.
Moreover... this time, the Empire seemed to be taking things more seriously. Although something seemed to be restricting them from deploying a large force, the number of people they had sent to the Ninja World this time was definitely more than just one or two from the first time!
The Ninja World... was doomed!
Many of the smarter ones realized this, and they hurried off to notify Konoha's elites and higher-ups.
"You guys are all gathering here, and it's a bit disruptive to the city's appearance." Empire's Tsunade tilted her head, glancing at the crowd that was gathering around them.
"Then let's leave this place and go meet His Majesty.
He should still be training at this time, right?"
Governor Ai of Rai State spoke in a rough voice.
"Probably."
"Then let's go together! By the way, let's see who's the fastest and can be the first to reach His Majesty's side."
As the word fell.
Governor Ai of Rai State's body flashed with lightning.
His hair stood up like steel needles, and his entire body transformed into lightning, beginning to flash and disappear into the sky.
A group of muscular men behind Ai roared, stirring up a strong wave of energy before taking off into the air.
"You sneaky man!"
"You brat! You actually dared to bolt first?"
Governor Terumi Mei of Water State and Governor Oonoki of Mountain State muttered under their breath.
They also displayed their abilities.
Terumi Mei's body turned into a stream of water and shot into the sky.
Oonoki's body became ethereal and flew out as well.
Seven Divine Swords drew their swords and flew with their blades.
A group of Mountain State people levitated in the air.
The people from Green State once again opened their backpacks, donning their exoskeletons and shooting straight into the sky.
Watching their figures disappear into the distance in the blink of an eye, Tsunade of the Ninja World couldn't help but stare:
"These guys... are so fast."
"Let's go and see what's going on too."
Empire's Tsunade said, then added:
"You should know how to use the Moon Walk, right?"
"Yes."
As Tsunade of the Ninja World replied, she stomped on the ground and flew into the sky.
Boom!
At the same time, an explosion sounded behind her, and when Tsunade of the Ninja World turned her head, she saw Empire's Tsunade following casually with a relaxed expression, holding a space-time communication device:
"Why are you in such a hurry? You forgot to bring your things."
"..."
Tsunade of the Ninja World narrowed her eyes, thinking to herself:
"It's one thing that I, as the Kage of my village, have to meet with the God-War Emperor alongside the other Kages and Governors of this world.
But now they even want me to bring the space-time communication device... What are these guys thinking?
Are they completely ignoring us?
It's like how humans wouldn't care about the opinions of ants.
This feeling... is really terrible."
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The sky rumbled like thunder as a group of people rushed towards the outskirts of the Imperial Capital.
Even with Tsunade of the Ninja World giving her all, she could only watch as the people from the various states got farther and farther away.
This made her sigh inwardly:
"My exposure to the martial arts world is still too short. In terms of speed, these people are probably all stronger than me... God-War Empire is truly fearsome..."
As she was lost in thought, Tsunade of the Ninja World suddenly felt herself being hugged by a soft body. She turned her head and saw that it was Empire's Tsunade.
Her chakra and true energy erupted, and the Yin Seal had been released, causing her white wings to flutter gently.
"My dear sister, your speed is really too slow. Let me carry you."
As she spoke, she flapped her wings and began to surge forward at an astonishing speed.
Tsunade of the Ninja World could only hear the roar in her ears as the scenery before her eyes flipped backward at a rapid pace!
Empire's Tsunade's speed in the sky was at least ten times faster than hers!
Humming...
The people who had long disappeared from her sight reappeared one by one, surpassing her.
Empire's Tsunade quickly reached the front of the group and, along with a few streams of light, arrived at a strange place.
This place was full of cracks, and in the far distance, several mountains were moving.
Tsunade of the Ninja World, carried by Empire's Tsunade, descended towards the foot of the mountains.
However, before that, the five governors had already landed.
They shouted loudly.
"As expected! Aside from a few exceptions, I'm still the fastest when it comes to speed!"
Governor Ai of Rai State's rough voice carried over to Tsunade of the Ninja World's ears.
"You brat, what's the point of bolting first? You're still like this even when competing against an elderly person. You truly are a morally bankrupt barbarian!" Governor Oonoki of Mountain State's voice rang out.
"Speed isn't our forte in Water State. This time, we're just here to exercise with everyone. Governor Ai, as long as you're happy, that's what matters." Governor Terumi Mei of Water State spoke up.
"There's no glory in being the first by cheating." Governor Ro of Green State added.
"Your Majesties!" The next moment, the crowd roared in unison.
And Tsunade, who had been feeling a little dizzy, finally regained her composure and saw the five governors bowing to a figure bound in iron chains, slowly walking forward.
As she looked at the familiar figure, Tsunade's eyes involuntarily glanced behind him, gazing at the mountain that towered hundreds of times taller than the God-War Emperor.
She inhaled sharply:
"Wow... that's really over the top."
Even though she had heard Naruto and Sakura talk about Senju Tianren dragging several mountains to train his physique, Tsunade of the Ninja World was still astonished when she witnessed it herself.
The ninja from Konoha, upon seeing this sight, was almost scared witless:
"Is this for real...? How is it possible for one person to move such massive objects... This... this is so unscientific, so unlike a ninja..."
The voice was a little loud and attracted the attention of the five governors.
Among them, Rai's Governor, Ai, snorted derisively:
"People from another world, do not measure His Majesty's greatness with your ignorant and impoverished brains.
A few mountains? Laughable!
These are not ordinary mountains, but super-heavy mountains enhanced by the Super-Heavy Rock Technique, each weighing far more than a typical mountain! At the very least, they weigh over a trillion tons! More importantly, His Majesty is currently sealing away most of his strength.
Rather than saying His Majesty is dragging a few mountains, it's more apt to say he's moving a continent."
"A continent!"
Upon hearing this, the people from the Ninja World, whether they believed it or not, fell silent.
"As expected of His Majesty, the God-War Emperor," Tsunade of the Ninja World complimented, her eyes twitching.
Senju Tianren merely nodded and stopped moving, turning his gaze towards the five governors:
"Seeing your preparations, I assume you've received the news.
So, do you have anything to say?"
"Your Majesty, this old man is getting on in years, and I truly cannot bear to see my friends and family from another world remain stubbornly in the dark. I implore Your Majesty to give them one more chance to return to the light," Governor Oonoki of Mountain State said, pausing briefly before continuing, "Your Majesty! Our God-War Empire was founded on martial arts and upholds the ways of the warrior.
Every year, each state holds internal martial arts tournaments to select and nurture talented individuals.
Why don't we use this opportunity to let each state send some participants to compete for spots?"
"Governor Oonoki's suggestion is good.
Better late than never.
This martial arts tournament will also give the people from the Ninja World a better understanding of us.
Let them witness the consequences of defiantly resisting."
Governor Ai of Rai State added, glancing at the temporal communicator in Tsunade of the Ninja World's arms with a malicious smile.
"!"
Seeing this, Tsunade of the Ninja World's heart skipped a beat.
"They really have ulterior motives.
They're planning another display of power.
Do they think what they've shown so far isn't enough? Do they want the people of Konoha to thoroughly understand and feel their despair and the gap between them? Never mind, I've already experienced it myself, and if this shatters the illusions of the others, then that's not a bad thing.
Hmph... Martial Arts Tournament? More like a Konoha Intimidation Conference, if you ask me."
With that thought, Tsunade of the Ninja World calmed herself.
"Competitive martial arts? Are you sure about this?"
At this moment, Tsunade of the Empire had a strange expression on her face.
"Of course, but people from the Imperial Capital will be excluded: the three Dragon Soul Clan members, the martial arts maniac Might Guy, the Namikaze father and son, Orochimaru, and the clones.
The super-mechanized people from the Oasis can't easily pass through the temporal tunnel, so they should be excluded as well."
Governor Terumi Mei of Water State spoke up.
"That's only natural. The people from Rai State can't use their space-based cannons.
The people from Mountain State can't combine forces to perform the Giant God Technique.
The people from Water State can't use tool fusion either.
This is very fair.
I have no objections."
Governor Ro of Green State agreed.
The group then turned to Senju Tianren, awaiting his decision.
"Very well, for the matters that follow, please cooperate with Tsunade. If there's nothing else, you may withdraw."
Senju Tianren nodded.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The five governors smiled and bowed respectfully before leaving with the two Tsunades.
Soon, news of the martial arts competition, including participants from the Ninja World, spread throughout the God-War Empire and Konoha.
Ten days later.
Tsunade of the Ninja World, carrying the temporal communicator, followed Tsunade of the Empire to the outskirts, where a vast sea of people gathered.
As far as the eye could see, there was only barren land.
Looking at the crowd, Tenten from Konoha Village frowned and said, "Is this the competition venue? It's so desolate. If someone can't fly, they probably won't be able to see anything, will they?"
"Our Konoha has special arenas for the Chunin Exams, as well as spectator stands for the audience..." Ino also wondered, "With the Empire's advancement, they shouldn't make such a basic mistake, should they?"
"Of course.
There are no ticket restrictions for spectators this time.
Anyone who wants to come can do so.
Naturally, we don't know exactly how many people will show up.
We'll only know the number when the time comes."
By Tsunade of the Ninja World's side, Tsunade of the Empire looked at the temporal communicator and smiled, "Hmm? So... what method will you use to let everyone watch?
Will you use Earth Release to create an uneven terrain?
Or will you use some kind of projection jutsu?"
Shikamaru guessed.
"Just watch, the people should be arriving soon." Tsunade of the Empire said, looking towards the distant sky.
Rumbling!
Amidst the rolling thunder, a figure darted through the sky like a meteor.
Tsunade of the Ninja World narrowed her eyes to get a clear view of the person.
"It's Naruto. Is he here to watch the competition too?"
"Of course, but watching is just a side benefit. He actually has a mission."
Tsunade of the Empire smiled.
Naruto of the Empire soon came to a halt in the air and, amidst Tsunade of the Ninja World's confused gaze, clapped his hands together, "Wood Release: Grand Fighting Arena Technique!"
