“We’ve had our sparring session, would you like to come in for a cup of tea? As the host, I’m not the kind of person to be stingy,” Yi Shuihan said to the three figures.
"No need, we'll visit again another day."
"So are we."
"let's go."
Having suffered such a huge setback, and still not fully recovered, plus with the Hokage leading a large group of ninjas beside them, it's no wonder they wouldn't feel safe staying.
Yi Shuihan did not stop them and let them leave.
"Lord Third Generation, would you like some?"
A member of the Anbu standing next to the Third Hokage spoke in a strange tone, clearly intending to capture the three Kage. Although it was a peaceful era, it did not mean that hatred had disappeared.
The Third Hokage shook his head and said, "What Konoha needs is peace, not war."
Actually, he was momentarily tempted, but then he suddenly thought of Yi Shuihan. He didn't take his subordinates' advice. Yi Shuihan's attitude was unclear at the moment. Not to mention whether he could take down the three Shadows, even if he did, it would be hard to say what would happen if Yi Shuihan jumped out.
Chapter 341, Employees Can't Be That Forceful
"Why aren't you leaving yet? Are you planning to stay for dinner?"
Yi Shuihan looked at the Third Hokage and the others who remained and said in an annoyed tone.
The third generation, who was thinking about something, suddenly felt embarrassed after being provoked by Yi Shuihan. Was he shooing away flies or something?
"Besides being the Hokage, I am also Tsunade's mentor."
The Third Hokage knew that Yi Shuihan wouldn't care about anything else, but this was the only way Yi Shuihan might give in.
As expected, Yi Shuihan was also annoyed when he said this. The relationship between Tsunade and the Third Hokage was much better than in the original story. If he wanted to think about Tsunade, Yi Shuihan had to give the Third Hokage some face.
"Did I just say something? Oh, I remember now, I meant, would you like to stay for dinner? We could eat together."
Shameless!
Looking at the serious-looking Yi Shuihan, many people were speechless, and the shock of Yi Shuihan defeating the three Shadows was thus greatly diminished.
Some of the female ninjas looked at Yi Shuihan with flirtatious eyes, making no attempt to hide their charm. Not only was he strong, but he was also willing to put aside his pride for women. He was practically the perfect man.
What? You're saying everyone else already has Tsunade?
They're not even married yet, so you can just snatch her away! Even if they were married, so what? In this day and age, it's not like polygamy is illegal.
You said that the ninjas you saw were all monogamous, but that's only because the two people in the marriage were of similar status, the man wasn't particularly outstanding and couldn't handle two female ninjas, or he was just a good man.
"Dai, close the door! We're not open today!"
Tsunade noticed some discordant glances and immediately became unhappy, yelling at Might Guy.
Might Guy looked at Tsunade, bewildered. Lacking emotional intelligence, he couldn't understand why Tsunade had suddenly changed her demeanor.
Fortunately, Might Guy had someone sensible by his side. Sakumo Hatake walked to the front door, nodded to the three generations of the family, and then slammed the door shut.
Instantly, the gazes that Yi Shuihan enjoyed but Tsunade disliked were blocked.
"Sigh, this kind of thing often happens when you're too handsome. It's such a failure!" Yi Shuihan looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, looking lonely.
Tsunade gritted her teeth and glared at Yi Shuihan. In the end, disregarding the presence of Might Guy and Sakumo Hatake, she unleashed a powerful punch.
"Hey! What are you doing? No!"
"She's trying to kill her husband! Help!"
They disappeared from Might Guy and Sakumo Hatake's sight while they were playing around.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and the day for the National Martial Arts Tournament finally arrived.
On this day, Yi Shuihan specially instructed Matt Dai to open the gate early and then stand guard at the gate.
There are quite a few people who want to participate in the National Martial Arts Tournament, and Yi Shuihan can't just let everyone in, so he naturally has to make some selections.
The selection criteria are simple: two types of people can enter. One type is someone who has practiced martial arts and whose strength has reached the Ming Jin level. The other type is someone who, regardless of whether they have practiced martial arts, has reached the Jonin level.
There will always be many geniuses in this world. Although the time since the introduction of Chinese martial arts is not very long, there are definitely no few people who have broken through to the Ming Jin level. There must be at least several dozen, or even more.
"Excuse me, is this the venue for the National Martial Arts Tournament?"
A boy, about 15 or 6 years old, dressed in white with the words "National Martial Arts" embroidered on his shirt, had piercing eyes and bulging temples, clearly a martial artist who had achieved considerable skill.
Behind the boy was a girl, slightly younger than him, who looked at Might Guy with intense curiosity.
"Yes, this is the place. You can go in now."
Matt Day glanced at the two of them and said.
"Then thank you, sir."
The boy bowed to Might Guy and then pulled the girl inside.
"what are you doing?"
Seeing that some people had gone in first, others couldn't resist and rushed over to follow. However, this time Matt Day made a gesture to stop them.
The aura of "one man guarding the pass, ten thousand cannot break through" emanated from Might Guy. Although there was no grand scene of chakra materializing and surrounding his body, it still commanded respect.
"The boss said that only two types of people can go in: one is a martial arts practitioner with the strength of Ming Jin, and the other is a ninja whose strength has reached the level of Jonin. Those who do not meet the requirements should stay outside."
Upon hearing that sentence, many people's expressions changed, clearly indicating that they did not meet the requirements.
Leaving aside the Ming Jin martial artists of traditional Chinese martial arts, even the Jonin level is an extremely high standard. There are only a few dozen Jonin in the entire Hidden Leaf Village, and perhaps many more are hidden, but the number would not exceed 200.
There are thousands of people outside the hot spring resort, but less than one-tenth of them are truly qualified. Among the ninjas from Konoha and other countries, there are nearly a hundred who have reached the level of Jonin. The national martial arts that have reached the level of Ming Jin are similar to this ninjutsu, only slightly less.
"Are you kidding me? We've come all this way, and we can't even get into the venue? Are you playing us for a fool?"
"Exactly, the restrictions are too high, too much. I'm going to get in today."
"Everyone, ignore him! How can he possibly stop all of us by himself? Charge!"
Ultimately, some people were still unwilling to give up and instigated others to try and enter the hot spring resort amidst the chaos.
Almost half the people, more than a thousand people, rushed towards Matt Day, wanting to break in directly.
This situation is so formidable that even a Kage-level expert couldn't stop them. Among these people are many ninjas, who can enter without using the main entrance.
However, they underestimated Matt Day, and even more so Matt Day, who was sent to be the selector.
"Eight Gates Formation, open the gates, open!"
"Open the door to rest."
"The gate of life, open!"
"Open the wound gate."
"Open the door."
"Jing Gate, open."
In an instant, Might Guy was completely surrounded by green energy, and his entire being exuded an aura that far surpassed that of a Kage.
"Take this, Morning Peacock."
Chapter 342, Employees Can't Be This Strong
Morning Peacock is a special move that can only be unleashed after opening the sixth gate of the Eight Gates Formation.
He swung his fist repeatedly, the speed of his punches so fast that they created flames from friction with the air, and these flames attacked the enemy like bullets.
In the original work, Might Guy used this move to instantly kill a clone that possessed 30% of Kisame's chakra.
Might Guy, at his current level, is a Kage, far stronger than Might Guy's Jonin. This move he uses is far more powerful than anything Might Guy could have used.
Fighting against a thousand men single-handedly, Might Guy, with just one punch, finally unleashed his youthful energy amidst the attention of the crowd.
In just a few breaths, those who tried to take advantage of the chaos were all knocked to the ground by Matt Dai. If he hadn't shown mercy, they might have lost their lives.
Even so, only a minority of people remain sober.
Those who were a step too slow, those who were still hesitating, and those who had qualified but weren't worried, were all staring in disbelief at the scene before them. They looked at the man who was still standing in front of the door, facing a thousand people without backing down, and even defeating a thousand people in an instant.
Everyone present had only one word in their minds: fucking bastards.
I thought Might Guy was just a gatekeeper, and even if he was strong, he would only be a Chunin. Few people would have thought that Might Guy was a Jonin.
After all, a Jonin is considered a powerful figure in this world. Even a Kage wouldn't be so extravagant as to hire a Jonin as an employee at a hot spring resort!
A mere employee of a hot spring resort is this strong? Just from that one move, we can tell that Might Guy's strength is comparable to that of a Kage, or even an extremely powerful one among the Kage. For such a strong person to appear in this kind of capacity is simply outrageous.
"Is that really Might Guy? Wasn't he supposed to be a genin who had been around for ten thousand years? How could he be this strong!"
"Moreover, it's said that even Lord Sakumo Hatake is an employee here. Doesn't that mean that all the employees here are at the Kage level?"
Now that you mention it, it does make sense!
After saying this, the Konoha ninjas exchanged glances, all seeing the shock in each other's eyes.
The three Kage who arrived a few days ago were much calmer than the average person. Yi Shuihan's strength clearly exceeded that of a Kage, comparable to that of a ninja legend. It wasn't impossible for him to have such a powerful subordinate. But compared to that, Yi Shuihan's strength was what shocked them even more.
Might Guy demonstrated considerable strength, but to Onoki and his team, that was all; they were confident they could defeat him.
However, if they knew that Might Guy still had two gates to open, and that each time a gate was opened, his strength would increase at least tenfold, they might not be so calm.
"The Eight Gates? So that's what it is." The Third Hokage knew about the Eight Gates, so he was the most shocked than the others. Just thinking about the descriptions of the Eight Gates made his heart pound with fear.
Fortunately, he was from Konoha; if he had been from another village, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
"No, go back and immediately have someone improve Might Guy's treatment, give him the status of an elite Jonin."
To win them over, we must win them over; this was the thought of the third generation at this time.
"Only qualified people can enter. This is the first time. Next time, I can't guarantee how the consequences will be."
Might Guy's pupils were no longer discernible, but this only amplified his unwavering resolve and the world-destroying power he possessed.
Even if Kurama (the Nine-Tails) came out now and tried to break in, Might Guy would stop him outside.
"Let's go! With him around, we have absolutely no chance."
"hateful!"
"I don't care about your National Martial Arts Tournament. Humph, it's better not to participate in this kind of tournament."
Many people realized the gap between themselves and Matt Damon and left immediately.
There are still quite a few clever people, and many of them have crooked ideas, trying to find a way around where Matt Day can't see them and climb over the wall to get in.
But is it really that simple? The Five Dragons Guardian Formation has already been activated, and there is no way to enter except through the main gate, unless they are strong enough to break the formation.
It's a pipe dream for a group of people whose strength is below that of a Jonin to break the formation, so those people made a mistake from the very beginning.
"What a pity, my strength isn't enough yet. I'm still a bit short of Ming Jin level. Otherwise, I could have gone in too. I'm so envious of Kakashi and the others!"
A kid who used to be in the same class as Kakashi looked longingly toward the hot spring resort, surrounded by many other kids like him.
The words of these kids caught the attention of some visiting ninjas. Of course, their strength was not high enough to qualify them to enter the venue, so they decided not to come for nothing and turned their attention to these children.
This led to a series of events, but that's another story.
After Might Guy's display of power, no one deliberately caused trouble anymore. Those who were qualified entered the hot spring resort in an orderly manner and were then led by Sakumo Hatake, who was already waiting at the hot spring resort, to the martial arts venue.
The venue was quite unique, situated on a hot spring.
This hot spring has similar effects to the Black Iron Hot Spring, and it was specially prepared by Yi Shuihan.
The venue, a hot spring, is about the size of three football fields and can easily accommodate a thousand people, even with the use of space extension.
Although it's called a venue and a hot spring, they naturally couldn't actually soak in the hot spring. There were rows of wooden chairs placed on the hot spring, with a round wooden table between each two chairs, which Tsunade helped to make using her Wood Release.
"Is this really the venue?"
Many people were quite puzzled and surprised when they saw the venue, as they had never imagined that the venue would be above a hot spring.
The ninjas, needless to say, could walk on water. Although it was strange, no one paid too much attention to it. However, the martial arts practitioners were a little uneasy, since this situation would be extremely disadvantageous in battle.
Chapter 343, Let's get straight to the point.
"Is this the last one? If so, I should go in too."
After waiting for more than 10 minutes and seeing no one else arrive, Matt Day decided to close the door. Once the door was closed, everyone who had entered the venue would be trapped, and without Yi Shuihan's permission, they wouldn't be able to leave.
With a loud "bang," the Myriad Realms Hot Spring Resort was completely isolated from the outside world. A nearly invisible smooth surface flashed by, and the only exit of the Five Dragons Guardian Array was sealed off.
National Martial Arts Tournament
A total of 178 people participated, including 98 ninjas of the Jonin rank or above and 80 martial arts practitioners of the Ming Jin rank or above.
