There are no restrictions on participation, and the rewards far exceed the previous one. Coupled with the blessings during peacetime, the Ninja Sect's second Budokai created an unprecedented event.

Even Liudao City, which has been expanding, has become a bit crowded with a sudden influx of people.

The participation in the competition will definitely not fill up the Six Paths City. After all, ninjas are only a minority group. The main reason is that this grand event attracts many ordinary people.

Some people want to find reliable ninjas to complete the mission through this martial arts meeting, some people just want to watch the exciting battles of ninjas, and some people want to take the opportunity to come to Liudou City to make a fortune.

In short, due to various reasons, the number of people in Liudao City has reached its peak since its establishment.

"There are so many people. Don't expect thousands of ninjas to take part in the competition. How long will the qualifying competition be?" Obito couldn't help complaining as he entered Liudou Castle and looked at the crowd.

There are many people in Liudao City now, and there are also many ninjas.

"It shouldn't be over a thousand ninjas, but it will definitely be more than last time. After all, the number of places in the knockout competition has doubled this time." Kakashi shook his head and said.

Even in the last Youth Budokai, some ninjas with Jonin strength barely made it to the knockout rounds and were quickly eliminated.

This time there is no age limit in the martial arts tournament, and the competition will inevitably become more intense, enough to dissuade many ordinary ninjas who are self-aware.

Of course, after all, there will be rewards for entering the knockout round this time. There must still be a group of ninjas dreaming of missing out and entering, so there will definitely be a lot more people.

"Aren't those the Third Raikage and the Alternate Raikage of Kumogakure Village? They were also invited to watch the match?" Obito, who was looking around randomly, spotted a group of strong men with strong muscles and dark skin.

"Maybe." Kakashi didn't pay much attention.

It's not a war period, we just bumped into each other, and Mu Yue is still here, what could go wrong.

Due to the large number of people, Konoha specially booked a hotel for its own ninjas.

Contact us before you come, and you can just move in and stay when you arrive.

When the team arrived at the hotel and the room allocation was completed, Mu Yue, the Hokage, took the Konoha ninjas who needed to participate in the competition to register.

There were so many ninjas at the registration desk that Obito was dazzled when he saw them.

"Hey, the baby-faced Kirigakure was once captured by Mugetsu-sensei." Obito discovered his old acquaintance Gotachibana Yagura.

Goju Yagura twice led a team to fight with Mu Yue's troops. Once he was beaten by Mu Yue and fled back to Kirigakure homeland overnight, and once he was directly captured.

Because Gotachibana Yagura looks very distinctive, Obito has a deep impression of Gotachibana Yagura.

Goju Yagura looks like a young genius, but in fact he is old enough to be an obeisance daddy.

Obito continued to look in the direction of Goju Yagura, and soon saw the third Mizukage, talking to the registered ninja.

Just as Obito was curious, something more attractive to Obito soon appeared in Konoha.

"No, old man, are you also participating?" Asuma looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen who was registering and was dumbfounded.

He thought that Hiruzen Sarutobi was just here to lead the team like Mu Yue, but he didn't expect that Hiruzen Sarutobi would also participate in the martial arts tournament.

Asuma's words attracted the attention of many ninjas in Konoha's team.

The plan to assassinate Soyousuke was kept top-notch secret, and many participating Konoha ninjas did not know that Sarutobi Hiruzen was participating.

"The way of ninja is endless. It is a rare thing to communicate with strong people from all walks of life." Sarutobi Hiruzen said without changing his expression.

Asma:......

In other words, it is really possible that he will meet his father in the martial arts club.

Asuma is numb, what is this?

"Obito, are you still confident to win the first place?" Kakashi couldn't help but teased slightly.

"Well, the important thing in competitions is to participate and use your best." Obito replied calmly.

However, his sweaty hands still let Kakashi see Obito's inner uneasiness.

"No, in this case, the Third Raikage and the Third Mizukage..." Obito suddenly thought of something a little scary.

Sarutobi Hiruzen has participated in the competition, so is there a possibility that the Third Raikage and the others are not invited to watch the competition, but also participate in the martial arts competition.

Obito's forehead broke out into uncontrollable sweat.

If it really goes as expected, not to mention being ranked first, but being able to reach the semi-finals would be a great success.

Some ninjas noticed the unusualness of this martial arts meet, silently collected the registration fees and materials they had prepared, turned around and walked out.

Although the number of places in the knockout round has been doubled, there are so many capable ninjas that it is difficult to miss them.

As long as a ninja has participated in the last martial arts meet, this can be easily discovered.

Because there were not many contestants from the five major ninja villages in the last Budokai, and most of them were ninjas from various ninja organizations in the small ninja villages.

This time it's different. Just glance at the registration desk and you can see many forehead protectors from the Five Great Ninja Villages.

"Do the five great ninja villages want to share the rewards of the martial arts club together? There are so many ninjas coming." A ninja who was persuaded to retreat couldn't help but complain in his heart.

In fact, when the registration deadline and the list was submitted, the relevant personnel of the Ninja Sect were shocked and quickly contacted the registration office to ask if there were any mistakes.

I can't help it, this list looks so scary.

The Kages of the five great ninja villages were all gathered together. Except for Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was the previous Hokage, and Rasa, they were all the current Kages of their respective ninja villages.

And in addition to the Kage, there are also many famous experts from the five great ninja villages on the list.

For example, Sunagakure's Sunagakure Hero Yakura, Iwagakure's Rock Fist Loess, Kumogakure's AB combination, Kirigakure's Goju Yagura...

The Ninja ninjas at the registration office told the checkers with absolute certainty that it was correct, the Kagera came to register in person.

Due to the heavyweight status of the participants and the large number of strong players, the list of participants was reported to the Ninja Sect's senior officials.

"What are the plans of these great ninja villages? Why are they all coming here to participate in the competition?" Kakuzu touched his chin, feeling that there was a conspiracy.

The Five Kages had greeted the Ninja clan before setting off, so Kakuzu knew they were coming.

However, Kakuzu doesn't believe in the five Kage's reasons for participating. No matter from any point of view, the current Budokai is not worthy of participation by ninjas of Kage's level.

It's more like a backup movie.

"It's not our arrangement in the Kingdom of Sichuan that has aroused their fear, and they are secretly uniting to deal with us."

Although it sounds incredible, based on Kakuto's experience, nothing is impossible.

"That should be the case, but there is no need to worry, this will be a successful competition." Mu Yue looked out the window and said.

With his current strength, the gathering of the Great Ninja Village can save Mu Yue from wasting his energy.

"Anyway, as long as you are here, they won't be able to make any waves." Kakuzu nodded.

If Soyousuke is so calm, then nothing will happen.

"Having said that, this martial arts tournament is really exaggerated. I feel like I won't even be able to make it to the knockout round if I'm unlucky." Yahiko couldn't help but scratch his head.

He was still thinking about getting good results this time, but he didn't expect that the five major ninja villages came to the Budokai team building together.

"Just do your best." Nagato comforted with a smile.

In terms of confidence, Nagato is actually the person in the office who has the most confidence in Ninja besides Mu Yue.

The four great ninja villages and the combined Nagato might have to worry a little bit. The five great ninja villages combined with the Nagato wants to laugh a little. The Hokage of Konoha is the leader of their ninja sect.

…

The qualifiers officially start on February 4th.

Considering that there will be many ninjas participating this time, the Ninja Sect expanded the qualifying venue in advance and re-planned it.

There are currently four major areas in the qualifiers, and each area has four competition areas.

The promotion rules are still the same as the last Budokai, with the top four in the division advancing to the knockout round.

After the lot was drawn, Obito and other familiar Konoha ninjas gathered together for pre-match communication.

"Which division are you from? I am number 30 in the A1 division." Obito raised the white strip in his hand and said.

"A4 Division No. 12." Kakashi replied briefly.

"I am also in the A4 division." Nohara Lin was a little surprised.

"Fortunately, I am number 25, otherwise I would definitely not be able to enter the knockout rounds this time."

Since there are thirty-two people in each competition area, according to the competition system of the Ninja Sect, every eight serial numbers can produce a knockout spot, such as one from one to eight, and one from nine to sixteen.

Nohara Lin's serial number is far away from Kakashi, so she doesn't have to worry about being eliminated by Kakashi.

"Obito, you and I are in the same division, but I'm number 8, so we can't touch each other." Asuma said, hitting Obito's chest.

"That's good. Let's go there together later." Obito said with some regret.

It's good to be in the same division as the good brothers, but it would be happier to be in the same division as Nohara Lin, if the numbers are not too close.

Others also reported their respective divisions. Shisui and Yamato were in the A3 division, while Metkai was in the B1 division.

"Are the same ninja villages arranged in one area?" Kakashi thought after finding that most people were in Area A.

To prove this, Kakashi asked about the competition areas of some other Konoha ninjas. As expected, most Konoha ninjas were in Area A.

"To ensure that the knockout spots of the Great Ninja Villages will not be too different?" Kakashi came to think about a possibility on behalf of the Ninja Sect.

At this moment, the venue announcement sounded, reminding the contestants to go to their respective competition areas to prepare.

"See you later." Obito waved goodbye to his friends and headed to the A1 competition area with Asuma.
