Chapter 196 - 196. Are You Not Entertained?

finally the days pass by and all the competitors are in the tower. we all arrive outside the arena to be talked to by the hokage.

"Now since there are so many people here there's going to be a preliminary round to cut down on numbers. Those of you who win the rounds now will have to fight in the finals held one month from now in the stadium against each other. now anyone who wants to step out please do so now." kabuto quickly bows out leaving an odd number of people.

"Well given there's an odd number one of you will be chosen to get a free pass to the next round. luck is also something a ninja needs." I was chosen as a free pass by the system.

The matches then started.

First match up was Sasuke vs yoroi from kabutos team. Sasuke ended up winning using taijutsu as the opponents only ability was to absorb chakra. Kakashi took him away immediately after the battle for more checks on his cursed seal.

next up in the match was Shino vs Kiba.

Since Kiba pretty much only knows taijutsu he was overwhelmed by shinos bugs who just absorbed all his chakra until he passed out leaving shino the winner.

Match number three was kankuro of the sand versus the last member of kabutos party who ended up getting his bones broken by kankuros puppet losing the match.

fourth matchup Sakura versus Ino ending in a pathetic double knockout from the pitiful Sasuke fangirls.

The fifth match was Tenten of Konohagakure's Team Guy against Temari of Sunagakure's Sand Siblings. The match was over quickly, as all the projectile weapons used by Tenten were completely countered by the Wind Release techniques used by Temari, who won without taking as much as a single scratch.

The sixth match was shikamaru versus Choji of the same team with shikamaru coming out victorious using his shadow manipulation to run Choji into walls.

Match number seven was hinata versus her cousin neji. "Hey hinata I'll take you on a date to eat cinnamon buns if you win." I whisper in her ear.

At this point neji was shivering in fear from the look hinata was giving him. He was the systematically destroyed in an overwhelming defeat by hinata. he was unconcious before he hit the ground. hinata was standing in front of me with sad puppy eyes making sure I was serious about my promise. I had to give her a pinky swear before she would go back to her team.

The last match was Lee vs gaara. Lee still lost but not as badly and he wasn't as injured he would still have to get some medical attention though.

"Well that's it for the preliminary round the next round matchup will be decided right now and you have 1 month to prepare."

Shino vs Kankuro

Shikamaru vs Temari

Ryan vs Hinata

Gaara vs Sasuke.

Well that went about as expected. I have to use this month to get my chakra control updated and do some prep before the invasion starts and maybe sneak some moves off the pervert sage as he would be in town about now.

Everyone headed out either going home to rest or to their hotels. I headed back to my apartment and was met with zabuza, Haku, Karin, and Anko. I had given Haku and zabuza an apartment on the floor below mine but they still came to hang out and congratulate me on passing so far.

Anko and zabuza were filled in on the upcoming invasion and where excited to slaughter enemies. Haku would be following zabuza and Karin would follow me for safety reasons. I had given zabuza his sword already in exchange for a few jutsu he had that i wanted. one of my clones would be helping both Haku and Karin in medical ninjutsu, ice techniques, and the Uzumaki adamantine chains for karin. this ability needs good Chakra control so I'll have to wait a bit before teaching her as mine is shit at this point.

After discussion I headed into my kamui and started to get to work on some small projects.

Inside my dimension is a medical room I had made lying on the bed is the body of a blonde haired man. I started to fix the giant hole in his stomach repairing any damage with senju cells and advanced medical ninjutsu. I swapped out his blue eyes with a pair of sharingan from 9 I had left.

After his body was done I pressed my palms against his chest and used the rinnesharingan revival technique. Usually this drains the life force of the person but with the help of the system I was able to use Chakra. after a few minutes of pumping chakra and changing his bloodline a bit so he can use sharingan without the massive drain with the hashirama cells he started to slowly wake up.

This was one of my war preperations. Minato hadn't just been sitting in my mindspace twiddling his thumbs all these years. I had supplied him with hundreds of jutsu from my collection I had read. The man was a genius with the things I gave him he invented so many new jutsu he was now an even bigger force to be feared and with a sharingan and increased chakra from hashirama cells. The man was about as dangerous as you could get.

"Your body will take some getting used to as I adjusted it using hashiramas cells I stole from your old friend Danzo. You also might want to practice with that sharingan." I said passing him some water medicine and clothes.

He quickly downed the stuff and changed. "What are the plans for this month?" he asked me stretching his body and getting a feel for it.

"I was gunna have you train with some of my clones as my chakra control has been blown to shit and you need to adjust aswell. You should make some clones also get them to work on chakra control and maybe read some things in my library." he nodded. "we should probably get hiruzen and jiraiya in on the plans too after you get your mother out." he said with an evil smile.

I made my way over to another bed and pulled out kushinas body from the inventory and started to fix it up with a little help from him. she got the same hashirama cells and sharingan eyes. Her body was much harder to revive as I had to fill up her chakra reserves. It was exhausting. after about and hour she started to wake up and I sat in a chair completely put of breathe. I really need to fix my chakra control.

Soon I was crushed into a hug by a loving excited mother. "Now I can't finally hug you in real life anytime I want and if anyone bullies you I can just beat them up!" after a good 20 minutes of trying to escape. I had given her some sword training manuals her swords hiruzen had and told her to help us in training. I also told her she would get to see jiraiya soon to which she only started sharpening her sword and cracking her knuckles with some sinister laughter.

Poor jiraiya. Somewhere in konoha at a female hotspring high above in a tree a white haired man shivered for no reason. Quickly looking around for enemies and finding none he went back to peeping with perverted giggles.
