Naruto: Sukuna Jinchuriki, I am Uchiha.

Page 132

Clutching his severed arm, he hurriedly said, "Lord Kagami! Gaara is my son, a treasure of Sunagakure!"

A colorless and invisible dividing line splits Luo Sha in two.

The look of terror that had just appeared in his eyes quickly faded.

The torso fell precisely to either side, with the remaining limbs scattered.

The leader of Sunagakure, a little over a month ago, was the Fourth Kazekage.

Just die.

Uchiha Kagami's indifferent gaze fell on Chiyo.

"Does Sunagakure have any other plans?"

Not long ago, his younger brother died at the hands of Konoha ninjas, and before that, Sasori's parents also perished at the hands of Konoha ninjas.

Shukaku was taken away, and Kazekage died.

Chiyo's heart sank lower and lower, and she could no longer see any possibility of the revival of Sunagakure.

But now she can't even express her disappointment.

Otherwise, the last spark of hope in Sunagakure will be extinguished.

“Sunagakure…no objection…”

The demon hidden among the crowd couldn't help but sneer.

These ignorant humans actually dared to provoke that man.

That's a monster that even after I obtained the Dragon Vein Crystal and devoured the witch, I still wouldn't dare to be its enemy!

Several more people with serious injuries chose to withdraw from the competition.

Among them was Matt Kai.

He didn't want to withdraw from the competition, but the aftereffects of opening the seven gates left him exhausted, and it would be too dangerous to seamlessly transition to the second match.

Sakumo Hatake took it upon himself to help him withdraw from the competition, as did Asuma and the others.

The first round was this brutal; it was predictable...

The mortality rate will be even higher in the second round.

"Um, Kagami-kun."

"Can I claim the extra reward now? It would be a shame if I died in the second match and didn't get the reward."

Orochimaru chuckled as he spoke, though he also seemed a little nervous.

The method by which Uchiha Kagami killed Rasa was completely undetectable to him and Senju Tobirama.

If he were in that situation, he felt that he would be instantly defeated as well.

If it weren't for the fact that many of his soul imprints were scattered, he wouldn't dare to ask for a reward now.

Uchiha Kagami stroked his chin and nodded, saying, "Okay, what do you want?"

"Secret Scroll for Cultivating the Art of Severing Escape Techniques!"

Without hesitation, Orochimaru revealed what he wanted most.

In his view, neither Yin-Yang Escape nor Dragon Vein Crystals were as valuable as Slash Escape!

He was self-aware enough not to think that just because he obtained the cultivation method, he could learn how to use the "Slash Escape Technique."

This is the only way to glimpse the power of the gods!

He believed that with Uchiha Kagami's magnanimity, he would never offer anything worthless. Since it was ranked first among the final rewards, it must have its corresponding value.

All eyes were on Orochimaru.

It feels like watching someone else win the lottery.

One group of people had a fiery look in their eyes; if they could fight, they would have torn Orochimaru to pieces and eaten him by now.

Uchiha Kagami looked at Shisui: "Give him your scroll, I'll write another one for you later."

Shisui summoned a slightly worn scroll and gently handed it to Orochimaru.

Orochimaru received the item with both hands with even greater care, as if he were receiving a priceless treasure.

No, it's not like.

This is priceless!

It may seem like a casual gift, but everyone understands the importance of this secret scroll.

According to Uchiha Kagami...

This might be a unique secret scroll for practicing the Slash Escape Technique!

The eyes of the crowd burned with desire; it wasn't just one group, but everyone who looked at Orochimaru with greedy eyes.

Almost everyone made a decision: in the second round, forget about any tokens, kill Orochimaru first, and seize the Slash Release!

Noticing the gazes of the crowd, Orochimaru knew that he was in trouble for possessing a treasure.

He dared not begin now.

In front of everyone, he summoned a white snake.

After wrapping the scroll in several layers, they placed it in the white snake's mouth.

With a puff of smoke, the white snake disappeared.

Haha, did you think that way you wouldn't become a target?

Nagato narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking to himself.

If Orochimaru doesn't hand it over obediently, I'll extract his soul and search his memories.

He was confident of winning the final spot; his original plan was to use the Slash Release technique and become the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki.

Having acquired the Slash Escape Technique gives you another option, so why not?

Let's choose the Dragon Vein Crystal; it has very strong chakra energy.

"So...can I have the prize money given to me now, Mr. Kagami?"

Orochimaru had already anticipated that he would likely lose a life in the second match.

But it doesn’t matter.

The few people from Hidden Fire Village were forced to participate anyway, and since they had already achieved their ultimate goal of using the Slash Release technique, withdrawing from the competition wasn't a big deal.

If we can also get 5 billion in research funding, then it's even better!

"Bonus? What bonus?"

Uchiha Kagami frowned in confusion.

The lure of the high amount of funding made Orochimaru unable to resist saying, "Is this the 5 billion ryo you promised before?"

Uchiha Kagami nodded: "You mean that one?"

"That was a bet between me and Kakuzu, what's it to you?"

"When did I ever say that anyone who kills Mo Xuluo would receive 5 billion?"

"Kakuzu, you tell me, did I say that?"

Kakuzu walked out of the crowd.

I breathed a sigh of relief, and the frustration in my heart eased considerably.

"Uchiha Kagami never said that!"

"do you understand?"

"...I misunderstood, I'm sorry..."

Uchiha Kagami clapped his hands: "Alright, those who wanted to leave have left. Those of you here will now be the heroes to participate in the second round."

After a puff of white smoke, a huge scroll was unfurled in front of Uchiha Kagami.

Everyone noticed that there were three large characters on the large blank page.

Isn't that one of the three great sacred sites for spiritual communication...?

Could it be that Uchiha Kagami has also become a contractor of the Holy Land?

Orochimaru and Jiraiya had seen Tsunade's summoning scroll; it wasn't like that...

They noticed that below the three large characters "Shigulin" were two smaller characters.

Orochimaru and Jiraiya exchanged a glance, realizing something.

It wasn't Uchiha Kagami who made a contract with Shikkotsu Forest!

Instead, Shikkotsu Forest already belongs to Uchiha Kagami!

Live Slug is the name of the Slug Fairy!

No wonder the participants of the Wet Bone Forest sect weren't required to join this martial arts competition.

He's already Uchiha Kagami!

Uchiha Kagami chuckled softly.

"Ordinary venues can't withstand your tinkering, so I've found a great spot."

"There, you can fight to your heart's content."

Uchiha Kagami clasped his hands together, unleashing an extremely terrifying chakra surge that sent several people flying.

Even Hashirama Senju had to raise his hand to defend himself.

"Psychicism."

"Wet Bone Forest!"

The world changed drastically, and a ghastly white color began to spread.

Like massive, bone-colored branches that blot out the sky.

The air was filled with a lethal dose of pale blue toxic fog.

An enormous shadow filled everyone's view.

Standing atop the Slug Sage's head, Uchiha Kagami looked down at the crowd, waving one hand forward, and ten azure crystals scattered and flew out.

"Then, let's begin the second round of the Ninja World Martial Arts Tournament."

Chapter 154 Crimson Demon - White Snake Immortal

On the pale earth, bones lay like a forest.

The extremely dense poisonous fog was almost liquefied, clinging to the branches of the bone forest and dripping down.

Shigu Forest, truly lives up to its name.

Jiraiya and Orochimaru found it hard to believe that the Slug Sage, with his gentle voice and kind personality, actually lived in such a place.

This terrifying place is like a hell of bones.

The enormous slug immortal roared and split into countless offspring.

Each sub-entity is the size of a house and contains abundant natural energy.

Even after splitting into thousands of offspring, the Slug Sage's original body remains as imposing as a mountain.

"Forty-eight hours from now, the person holding the token will be promoted. There are no other rules."

"The slugs might heal you, or they might attack you."

"You are also permitted to attack slugs."

Orochimaru didn't look well.

The three sacred lands of the ninja world have a certain degree of mutual restraint.

Toads are afraid of snakes, snakes are afraid of slugs, and slugs are afraid of toads.

This claim is widely circulated in the ninja world because slug venom is highly corrosive to snake skin.
