Three years later.

For the entire ninja world, these three years have been three years of earth-shaking change, three years of far-reaching significance, and three years that will determine the future.

In the past three years, the Shenwei Space Passage connecting the two worlds and the four directions has been laid to every major town in the two worlds, and the ends of the earth are only a stone's throw away.

In the past three years, the Dongqi West-West Transmission Project has made phased achievements, the continuous mountains on the border between the country of rain and the country of wind have been completely opened, and the project planning of water control in the east and sand control in the west has achieved initial results.

And Madara Uchiha, who insisted on making meritorious contributions and sweating on the front-line construction site, and Senju Pillar, who took the initiative to share weal and sorrow with his close friends and volunteered to participate in the mountain-moving project, has become an idol of inspiration and dedication in the minds of a generation.

Also in the past three years, new products such as super corn, hybrid rice, and high-yield pig breeds developed by the "Orochimaru Food and Animal Husbandry Research Institute" under the Tam-Hinata Hinata Investment and Development Company have been launched, completely solving the problem of famine for thousands of years among the people of the plague ninja world...

For ninjas, the changes in the past three years have been even greater.

Because there is a powerful force that is powerful enough to crush everything and suppress the whole world, wars between nations will naturally disappear invisibly.

And those underground assassination organizations, illegal ninja mercenaries, infamous renegade wanted criminals...

All of them were swept away in the special anti-gang and anti-evil operations carried out by the newly established trans-time and space-clone police team in Tamu.

However, in the past three years, there have been few rare times in the ninja world, not to mention large-scale wars, and even small-scale armed conflicts.

Such an unprecedented security environment is naturally extremely friendly to ordinary people, and they no longer have to worry about the ninja lord bullying others, and they no longer have to worry about becoming the pond fish who were innocently killed during the ninja battle.

But this situation is not very friendly to ninjas.

Ninjas are instruments of war.

War is gone, even the possibility of war is gone...

What is the value of ninjas as tools of war?

In the "future" ninja world, where the world line is β, and only overall peace has been achieved, and there are still a large number of local conflicts, the "ninja uselessness theory" has become very popular.

The emergence of the super-powerful "corporation" across the two worlds and the significant weakening of the value of the ninjas' existence have made this ideology infinitely promoted.

The profession of ninja seems to be about to wither.

However, war is the catalyst for new things, and it is difficult for plants living in artificial greenhouses to thrive and be colorful.

At the beginning, the Six Dao Immortals only taught people Chakra. And the use of chakra is so colorful and weird, but it is all summarized and deduced by ninjas in thousands of years of battles.

If you can't fight, what's the point of learning ninjutsu?

Fire escapes to make steel, earth escapes to build houses, and thunderbolts to generate electricity?

In this way, the ninja may be completely transformed into a production profession, and an industrial ninja civilization with infinite possibilities may be derived, but it loses the "artistry" that the ninjas have inherited for thousands of years.

Tamm didn't want to overkill the ninjas' brilliant fighting art in a somewhat boring production build;

He didn't want to be suppressed and protected by the "One God" to make the ninja world become lifeless in the future.

So...

Tamu had already thought of a new way to find a new way out for the ninjas-

Turn the battle of life and death into a sports competition, and the ninja team into a commercial team...

Form a Ninja Alliance!

..........................................................

α Konoha, Sarutobi Mansion.

"Konohamaru..."

The little follower Meng Huang looked at Konoha Pill with a hot face, and said with some confusion:

"We just finished two games in the morning, and our bodies haven't fully recovered..."

"Why are you in such a hurry to play ranked again?"

"It's just one game, it's just one game!"

The young Konohamaru said excitedly:

"After winning this promotion match, we will be able to rise to the Golden Rank!"

"Konohamaru, why are you in such a hurry to get on the 'gold'?"

Udon the second little follower, who looked a bit nerd, gave his opinion in a low voice, and he couldn't understand Konohamaru's attachment to the 'golden' rank at all:

"If the golden rank barely corresponds, it's enough to have the combat level of the middle ninja!"

"The three of us, but it's just a shinobi who just graduated..."

"Humph!"

The little genius Konohamaru snorted lightly with some dissatisfaction, and said confidently:

"What is the lower forbearance, the middle forbearance.. That's an outdated way of judging! ”

"The Ninja Alliance is not like in the village, it depends on age and seniority, everything is only based on strength!"

"With the talent and strength of the three of us, can't we get a gold?"

Saying that, Konohamaru clenched his fists again, and said what he really thought in his heart:

"In two days, it's the day of the opening of the Ninja League Pro League."

"Only ninjas above the gold rank are qualified to watch the battle on the spot."

"Before the competition, I must rush to the golden rank!"

The Ninja League Pro League is the highest-level ninja competition professional competition hosted by Tam Hinata Hinata Investment and Development Co., Ltd., and broadcast live to audiences from both worlds.

The league is divided into two major regions, α World and β World, and the competition will be held in rotation in the ten hidden villages of the two major regions.

And the players who can enter the league are all elite ninjas with the strongest king rank in the league.

As for the rank requirements for the audience, it is because the scene of a group of strongest kings fighting is too terrifying, and ordinary people watching the battle from the sidelines are likely to be affected by the aftermath of the battle and cannot guarantee their own safety.

And without the strength above the golden rank, the audience is at the scene, and it is very likely that they will not even be able to see the movements of the contestants clearly...

Instead of that, it's better to stay at home and watch the high-speed camera shoot live.

To date, the Ninja League Pro League has only been held once, and this year is the second year of the Ninja League's existence.

But due to the instinctive human pursuit of good combat and the vigorous promotion of TAM Corporation, the Ninja League Pro League has become the focus of attention of millions of people in both worlds.

As a member of the ninjas, Konohamaru, who has been determined to leave behind his father and ancestors since he was a child and make a career, is even more yearning for this top competition.

So Konohamaru can't wait to move up to the gold rank before the tournament and qualify for the battle.

"Watching the game? Just for this? ”

Meng Huang was very puzzled and objected:

"If you want to be eligible to watch the battle, why don't you just go to Big Brother Sasuke and ask for a ticket?"

"Brother Sasuke is the main player of our official team of Konoha Hidden Village, can it be difficult to get him for this little thing?"

Sasuke, a young man in this world, was sent out of the gods early and became the successor of the Will of Fire.

So Sasuke, whose fate changed drastically, actually replaced Naruto by mistake and became the eldest brother that Konohamaru admired and befriended.

"No way!"

Konohamaru was like a fried hair, and rejected Meng Huang's proposal with some annoyance:

"If you want to go, you have to rely on your own strength!"

"I'm going to watch Sasuke-sama's game on my own!"

"If I have to ask Brother Sasuke for even one ticket, how can I become a Will of Fire warrior as powerful as him in the future?"

"But..."

Meng Huang and Udon still have some objections, but Konohamaru said categorically:

"Don't be afraid of hard work, hold on one more time!"

"We are only one qualifier away from the golden rank!"

"Alas... All right. ”

Facing the hot-blooded Konohamaru, the two little followers had no choice but to follow helplessly.

So Konohamaru, Udon, and Meng Huang stretched out their arms at the same time, and clicked the buttons on the wrist smart watch in unison:

"Ninja League - Team Building - Qualifying - Flexible Platoon"

The avatars of the three people appeared on the virtual projection screen, and the countdown of the ranking match was also unfolded.

On the eve of the Ninja League Professional League, many ninjas who aspire to be stronger want to take this opportunity to rush to the stage and get more generous treatment.

The "company" will give bonuses to ninjas according to their ranks, and the advanced ninjutsu scrolls that used to be treasured by the brooms of the great hidden villages will also be taught for free according to their ranks.

Ninjas above the Gold Rank can watch the battle up close, and ninjas who sprint to the diamond level before the game are even more likely to receive personal guidance from members of the King Clan.

In short, there are many benefits, and the temptations are not shallow, and there are naturally many ninjas who work hard in the Ninja Alliance.

Therefore, the qualifying match of the three Konohamaru quickly matched suitable teammates and opponents under the operation of the intelligent system.

The smartwatch's projection screen then changed:

Match successful...

Confirm Enter...

Geographical location of the participating team members...

Shenwei Internet Connection...

The space channel opens...

After a short loading time, a pitch-black spatial passage suddenly opened in front of the three of Konohamaru.

Konohamaru, who has experienced many ninja alliance battles, knows very well that at the other end of the space passage is the "teammate space" prepared by the alliance for ninjas;

They were able to spend an hour in their teammates' space to settle in and discuss tactical strategies before the team.

The old rule for ninjas is to fight in three-person squads, but the organizer Tamu insisted on setting the tournament mode to a team of five for some reason.

But this does not affect the strength of the ninjas, but the team consciousness of the ninjas is more demanding.

In the case of non-five-person black, the run-in with unfamiliar teammates has become a test.

The three of Konohamaru naturally matched two strangers...

By the time the three of Konohamaru entered a small area of the Kamui Alien Space from the spatial passage, there were already two strange teammates waiting silently in the alien space.

Konohamaru took a closer look:

One is a wooden boy in a coarse cloth short coat and an extremely simple face, about the same age as himself.

The other was a petite girl in a plain practice uniform, black hair and shawl, looking a little younger than herself, with a strange pair of large sunglasses covering half of her fair face, making it difficult to see her full appearance.

The two of them scattered and stood on their left and right, keeping their distance from each other and not speaking.

And Konohamaru can also rely on the basic literacy of ninjas, and he can see at a glance that the temperament of the two is very different:

One is a country boy who is new to the world, and the other is the eldest lady raised in the wealthy family, these two are obviously not all the way.

"Oops..."

The experienced Konohamaru muttered to himself, "I ran into two more teammates in a single row." ”

If the team members don't know each other, it is difficult to run in a tacit understanding in a short period of time.

And due to the imperfect matchmaking mechanism and the limited number of ninjas in the alliance, it is very likely that your enemies will be a combination of three rows and two rows...

If you are a little unlucky, you may even encounter a sniper from the Five Black Convoy.

"Alas... I can only bite the bullet! ”

Konohamaru sighed helplessly, looked at the smartwatch on his wrist again, and retrieved the only information from the screen about the two strange teammates.

The Ninja League's ranked matches do not reveal any teammates or enemies on the system, which is also to train ninjas in their ability to communicate and gather intelligence.

Therefore, only one message will be displayed on the system interface - Ninja Rank.

"Two rankless?"

Konohamaru was stunned for a while: "Haven't you played the qualifying match yet?" ”

"That's... I'm sorry..."

The young man said with some shyness:

"I just signed up to join the Ninja League, and today is my first match."

And the girl in sunglasses said with a lot of regret: "Me too." ”

"What?"

Meng Huang also exclaimed:

"What a matching system is this!"

"In our qualifiers, we were matched with two rookie teammates?"

Konohamaru is even worse:

Although the strength of the alliance rookie ninja is not necessarily bad, the experience in team combat is definitely insufficient.

"Ugh..."

Konohamaru, who had high hopes for this promotion match, had to force himself to adjust his mentality, and said in the tone of the alliance's seniors:

"Since none of you have any experience in competitions, I hope that the two of you can follow the command and cooperate well when you play in the group..."

"Now please tell us your name, identity, and what you are good at: ninjutsu, body arts, and illusions."

"It's convenient for our team to run in with each other and make friends by the way."

"There's no need..."

The girl in sunglasses said coldly: "I'm enough alone, I don't need any teamwork." ”

"You?!"

Konohamaru was very angry.

He really couldn't hold back the explosive mentality, so he opened his mouth and scolded: "You orphan player! ”

Although he had seen such an orphan player who thought highly of himself and refused to cooperate, he didn't expect to meet him in the promotion tournament today.

As soon as Konohamaru's scolding came out, the face of the girl in sunglasses became a little gloomy... The eyes hidden behind the sunglasses suddenly emitted a penetrating blue light.

Konohamaru felt a chill down his spine, so he simply abandoned it and turned to ask about another of his strange teammates.

Fortunately, the attitude of the wooden boy was excellent:

"My name is Kojiro, I don't have a surname yet, and I'm from a small mountain village in the Land of Rain."

The so-called Jiro is the popular "second child in the family", and there is no surname for this kind of name...

Apparently a real redneck.

It's not that Konohamaru, the third generation of officials, discriminates against the poor in the countryside, but because judging from the current situation, it is impossible for this kind of foundationless mountain man to learn any advanced ninjutsu, and it is already a miracle to be able to master Chakra and become a member of the alliance.

So when he heard that his teammate was from this background, Konohamaru didn't have any hope for his combat power.

It's over!!

One is an orphan player, and the other is a crop handle, this one is cold, cold!

When Konohamaru was anxious, the country boy Kojiro said slowly:

"I'm good at..."

"Hao Fireball Technique, Fire Dragon Technique, Impatiens Technique, Uchiha Ryu Shuriken Throwing Technique..."

“......”

Konohamaru was completely sluggish:

"You—Didn't you say you're from the mountain village of the Land of Rain? Where did you learn all this?! ”

"yes..."

Kojiro sneeredly explained:

"I grew up in a small village deep in the mountains, and my parents and brother passed away a long time ago."

"Later, the whole village moved away with the money, but the village chief embezzled my share of the demolition money and left me, an orphan, in the mountains to live alone."

The more I listen to it, the worse it gets...

This looks like a ninja with a strong heritage!

Konohamaru heard that a trace of cold sweat oozed from his forehead.

"Later, when I was hunting alone in the mountains..."

Jiro went on to explain in detail:

"The mountain suddenly collapsed, and I couldn't dodge and fell off the cliff..."

Isn't it even worse...

Konohamaru listened even more confused.

"But instead of dying, I was rescued by my two masters."

The style of Kojiro's story instantly became fantastical:

"It turns out that the mountain was dug up by the two masters, they seem to have made some mistake, and there are still many mountains that have to be dug up."

"They saw that I was talented, but I was idle and bored, so they taught me ninjutsu while digging mountains..."

"Hmm..."

"This backstory..."

"And those two masters who dig mountains..."

Konohamaru heard the cold sweat on his forehead, and instantly recognized what role he should play in this story as a child of the family.

"Say no more, brother!"

Konohamaru excitedly shook the hand of the young man:

"Add a friend, let's hang out together in the future!"

"Okay, okay..."

The boy who had just walked out of the mountain readily accepted Konohamaru's kindness.

Konohamaru suddenly had confidence in his heart, and faintly only felt that he seemed to be on the golden thigh of some luck.
