126 Naruto Mobile Game

The Unlimited Class Tournament has begun accepting registrations.

Within the Ninja Mobile Game, you can find it on the Ninja Tournament page and register to participate.

There are no restrictions on registration. Even if you are not human, as long as you can play Ninja Mobile Game, have your own account, and register during the registration period, you are eligible.

The Unlimited Class preliminary round will be held within each region.

In the end, the top 16 players from each server will advance. Rankings will be determined by players' win rates.

If win rates are the same, rankings will then be adjusted in order based on total number of matches played and time spent on the leaderboard.

In other words, the more matches you play and the higher your win rate, the greater your chances of advancing.

Those are the rules of the Unlimited Class preliminary round.

Details about what comes after the preliminaries have not yet been announced, but within the ninja world, there is already a sense that a storm is brewing.

Everyone can tell that since the preliminaries are server-based, the main tournament will naturally be cross-server. After all, the Super Kage rank is already matched across all servers.

This is the second time an event has involved all servers. The last time was the Organization Dominion Tournament.

This time, it is an individual competition.

...

"I get it now, Kakashi, I need you right now! I... I want to enter Unlimited Class!"

Inside a dango shop, Guy was tugging at Kakashi, his eyes brimming with tears and filled with intense anticipation.

In contrast, Kakashi's face was covered in black lines.

Honestly, who understands this pain? After finally finishing work and getting a rest day, his best buddy showed up asking for advice.

"So what? Just register, then?" Kakashi sighed and handed Guy a skewer of dango.

"Mmm~ I mean, after Unlimited Class was announced, I tried playing it, but without summons it just feels so uncomfortable," Guy said, swallowing an entire skewer in one bite, his words muffled.

Indeed, the Unlimited Class mode had been available in Ninja Mobile Game for a long time, but very, very few people liked playing it.

Secret Scrolls are randomized, summons are disabled—this kind of mode, which heavily tests both ban-pick strategy and mechanical skill, made most players back away in fear.

Not to mention that the rewards were basically scraps.

The rewards were indeed a key point. Although the Unlimited Class Tournament rewards had not yet been announced, many people speculated that they might not be any worse than the Organization Dominion Tournament.

So now, many players were training Unlimited Class with great enthusiasm, hoping to secure a good ranking once the tournament began.

Kakashi had started playing Unlimited Class very early on. He believed it was an excellent mode for training technique and decision-making.

And clearly, Guy was the complete opposite.

"I played a few matches before, but I didn't even know who to pick. I don't know any of the opponent ninjas' skills," Guy said with a troubled face.

"Isn't that your own problem? If you want to avoid information gaps, the only way is to practice more—unless you don't plan on competing," Kakashi said calmly.

"How could I not compete!"

Guy clenched his fist, his eyes burning with passion.

As the first High-Class Recruitment ninja in Ninja Mobile Game, he should have had tremendous prestige. Yet his fame in the ninja world had dropped off a cliff.

In the updated monthly card, you could actually choose one ninja from [Might Guy], [Kisame Hoshigaki], or [Sarutobi Asuma] just for activating it for the first time?

When Guy saw that, his whole world collapsed.

Asuma was a reward from the organization shop—after all this time, everyone who wanted him already had him.

Kisame was from ranked points matches—pretty much the same situation.

But he was a High-Class Recruitment ninja! The very first High-Class Recruitment in Ninja Mobile Game! The very first information conference was held just for him!

After racking his brains together with Lee, Guy reached a conclusion: presence.

At the end of the day, his sense of presence was just too low. Most of the time, he could only appear as a cheerleader.

The organization barely managed to scrape together enough people, but they were all villagers recruited locally—merchants, chefs, a bookstore owner, and newly graduated genin.

As a result, every week in the Territories battlefield, they could only run alongside others, never winning a single match... how could that be acceptable!

To defend youth, and to prove that youth would never grow old, Guy planned to go all out in this Unlimited Class individual tournament.

That was why he came to Kakashi, the close friend he believed could offer him a solution.

"Here's what you do. Go play several hundred ranked matches right now—but don't use summons."

"First, fix your bad habit of relying on summons. Think more during matches, and then spend time learning every ninja."

"Once you have a basic understanding of all ninjas in Ninja Mobile Game, practice a bit more and then go play full-random ranked matches."

"If you do that, you should be able to build solid fundamentals before the preliminaries start," Kakashi said.

After hearing this, Guy turned completely gray. Is this something a human could even do?

Do you even know what the ranked environment is like right now? No summons? You'd lose as many matches as you play, believe it or not.

And full random...

Seeing Guy's expression shift repeatedly, Kakashi suddenly smiled softly, like a demon whispering.

"Guy, are you going to give up? If you can't advance, then I'll talk about your little acorn incident during a livestream..."

Boom!!!

Such simple words were like a bolt of thunder. Under the bright sunshine, Guy felt dark clouds gathering all over him, his body turning ice-cold.

He stared wide-eyed at Kakashi in terror, as if trying to see a demonic face beneath the mask.

"Ka—Kakashi, you... ooohhh~ as expected of my eternal rival!"

Guy squeezed his eyes shut, raised his fist, and streams of noodle-like tears hung on his face.

His entire body seemed to ignite, as if a blazing flame were roaring behind him.

"Kakashi! I'll remember this! Just wait! One day, I will stand on the highest stage and face you in a decisive battle!"

With a sudden turn, Guy took off like a roaring engine, his legs spinning as he vanished in a flash.

Watching that green figure disappear, Kakashi smiled, picked up his tea, and took a sip.

"Mmm, the temperature is just right."

...

Guy was not the only one mobilized by Unlimited Class. A considerable number of people showed great enthusiasm.

No teammates, no combat power—only skill.

Is there any better way to test a player's true strength than Unlimited Class?

Compared to the Organization Dominion Tournament, Unlimited Class has lower entry requirements, so even though most participants will likely just be along for the ride, many people still signed up.

Well, maybe not just people.

...

"Orochimaru, are you done yet? Can you hurry up? Oh right, lower that rejection reaction for me!"

In a dim, oversized laboratory, a massive purple snake stood among the surrounding instruments.

Orochimaru was busy working up and down, with Kabuto assisting at the side.

After a while, Orochimaru stopped. Kabuto casually pulled out a towel and wiped the sweat from Orochimaru's forehead.

"Hehehe~ It's finished. How is it, Manda?"

Manda straightened up. On the part of its body that, for humans, would be around the chest, two small claws had appeared.

After moving its fingers and finding them extremely flexible, without any sense of obstruction, Manda was very satisfied.

"Orochimaru, well done. With this, I can play Ninja Mobile Game much better. Next time you summon me, I'll waive one sacrifice for you!"

Orochimaru smiled but did not reply. Manda couldn't be bothered to say more and returned directly.

That's right—the conditions really were that low. Even snakes wanted to join the tournament.

"Manda... which server is he representing?" Kabuto asked hesitantly.

"Don't worry about him. Compared to that, you'd better carry the banner for the Sound, Kabuto," Orochimaru said with a mysterious smile as he glanced at him.

Cold sweat seeped from Kabuto's forehead. He lowered his head in silence.

Now in the Hidden Sound, Kabuto was already the undisputed number-one Ninja Mobile Game expert. Even Orochimaru couldn't beat him at all.

At first, when Kabuto defeated Orochimaru, some people took pleasure in his misfortune. Unexpectedly, Orochimaru valued Kabuto even more afterward.

The Sound ninjas: ??

"Kabuto, I'm very much looking forward to seeing you on the finals stage," Orochimaru said.

Kabuto kept his head down while tidying up the equipment. After hearing Orochimaru's words, his movements paused briefly. Without turning around, he spoke a single sentence.

"I won't disappoint you, Orochimaru-sama."
