120 Naruto Mobile Game

"Damn! The difficulty is this high?"

"Hey, hey, why aren't we allowed to use our own ninjas?! This is blatant targeting!"

"Idiot! Didn't you read the rules? Because we're fighting the Akatsuki leader, using Akatsuki organization ninjas is forbidden."

"Whatever, I can use Sage Naruto. Mm."

Today, the Akatsuki organization was no different from usual—on a whim, they gathered together to run a team dungeon.

But unexpectedly, something happened that completely broke them: in the Pain invasion team dungeon, Akatsuki organization ninjas couldn't be used at all.

However, the bigger pain point was that they simply couldn't win. Watching themselves only manage to scratch Pain, while every single hit from Pain made their chakra bars visibly drop, they finally understood what true disparity meant.

"So this is the leader's strength." Hidan sighed. "If only I could use my own ninja."

"That's obviously not a ninja issue, right? Even my signature ninja can't beat him—this doesn't fit the plot development at all."

Deidara complained, then casually flipped through the damage data, only to instantly widen his eyes.

"Hey, wait—Kakuzu, this Crowned of Fortune is you, right? Did I miss a zero when looking at this damage?"

His words drew everyone's attention. Taking a closer look, they realized there was no mistake—Kakuzu's damage was at the bottom, a full digit lower than everyone else's.

That was a serious problem. Could it be… that he hadn't boosted his battle power at all?

"What are you looking at?" Facing their gazes, Kakuzu remained calm. "Putting money into the game doesn't make more money anyway. Using this to earn money is more worthwhile."

Hearing that, Deidara and the others were utterly speechless.

They'd heard that recently Kakuzu had been livestreaming nonstop to squeeze out dirty money, and especially after enabling withdrawals, he'd gone completely crazy—openly asking viewers in his stream for gifts and donations.

The key was that people actually paid willingly. Kakuzu would casually thank them once and then keep asking for more money.

Just this alone made everyone admire him. What was true strength? Standing there and earning money—that was strength!

Convincing Kakuzu to spend money was hopeless. Although Hidan really wanted to settle the score of "wasn't the last Organization Dominion Tournament loss because of Kakuzu," once he thought about how he still owed Kakuzu money, he couldn't bring himself to say it.

"Whatever, come on, let's keep fighting. I think I've found the trick." Hidan said excitedly. "Kill the other Pains first, then suppress the Deva Path's chakra—then we can win."

"Forget it, I still need to play ranked." Deidara shook his head. "I haven't enjoyed Sage power enough yet."

All you know is ranked—don't you care about battle power anymore? Hidan glared fiercely at Deidara, but since Deidara had also lent him money, he swallowed his words.

He looked toward Sasori again, but Sasori hadn't joined them for the team dungeon at all—he was fully focused on ranked play.

After making the rounds, the only honest guy willing to continue fighting with Hidan was Kisame.

But with just two people, that meant matching ten teammates. With uncertain skill and uncertain battle power, winning would be even less likely.

...

Back to Sasori's side.

Ever since Hundred-Puppet Sasori went online, it had become Sasori's go-to choice for climbing ranks. His style was all about ranking up with his main.

Tsk tsk tsk—once upon a time, [Deidara] had also been Deidara's preferred ranking choice. Now things had changed, and he'd been completely disciplined by Sage Naruto.

Bang!

Mid-conversation, the Ghost Lantern exploded, blocking an attack for Sasori. This Secret Scroll was also one of his favorites.

Ban super armor bros, and even when facing extremely agile ninjas with invincibility frames, you still have the power to fight.

This match's opponent was [Minato Namikaze]. Sasori placed a Ghost Lantern on the spot, leaving [Minato Namikaze] in a dilemma—coming over wasn't right, but not coming over wasn't right either.

Hundred-Puppet Sasori is a ninja with both close-range and long-range attack options, along with considerable mobility.

For example, at the start, Sasori directly uses a skill to seize the initiative, then instantly follows with a basic attack, using the abdomen's thorn rope to slide his position.

Bang!

After the opponent used substitution and just found a good position, Sasori pulled again with a second-stage reverse pull, perfectly throwing him off.

"Huh? What's that?" Deidara's sharp eyes caught the operation, and he immediately asked curiously.

"After using a skill, tapping a basic attack lets you add one rope displacement. But if you pull the joystick and then immediately pull again from a different position, you'll get left and right double displacement. The opponent won't know which side I went to." Sasori's lips curled slightly.

"I don't understand any of that, Sasori—want to play a round with my Sage Naruto?"

"...Get lost!"

After taking a hit from Sasori, Deidara pouted and went to find others, but no one paid him any attention.

No choice—after Sage Naruto's buff, he'd now risen to be one of the three mad dogs of the Arena, on par with the Raikage and Killer Bee.

Gacha luck + unlimited firepower was just one of Sage Naruto's strengths. The key point was that all three of these ninjas could make the opponent's summons effectively nonexistent.

Ah, you might ask.

What about the Second Kage? Which one?

Tobirama Senju was countered by super armor, suppressed by the version, and clearly at a disadvantage.

Gengetsu Hōzuki had few users, required spending Coupons, and had a lower appearance rate than popular High-Class Recruitment picks.

As for Minato Namikaze and the Mysterious Masked Man… they required thinking, and they depended on reaction speed!

"Wow! He reacted again—I can't even remember how many times it's been. Dad is so fast and amazing!" Naruto shouted excitedly, the emotional value he provided even making Minato feel a bit smug.

As always, don't underestimate the value of the Yellow Flash. Finishing government affairs and getting home on time—wasn't that basic Hokage operation?

Naruto loved watching Minato play games, smooth from start to finish—just like art.

Breaking through three at full health was a piece of cake, and on top of that, not even using a single summon truly showed how awesome he was.

"Sure enough, compared to my dad Minato Namikaze, everyone else seems not worth mentioning." Naruto said with his hands on his hips, grinning.

Minato's face stiffened—hearing that from his own son just sounded strange no matter how he listened.

"Naruto, let's not talk about me first. What about you? Have you been working hard on Ninja Mobile Game lately? Did you do your dailies? Finish your weekly wins?"

"Uh, hehe~" Naruto just laughed awkwardly.

Seeing this, Minato sighed. He knew it—during the time after his revival, Naruto had indeed slacked off.

But as a father, how could he bear to criticize him?

"By the way, there's a new announcement again. Seems like this one's a big deal." Minato hinted.

Naruto immediately pulled out his phone, powered it on, logged into Ninja Mobile Game, and opened the announcement. At first glance, his eyes lit up.

[Unlimited Class Tournament Now Recruiting]

[This is an absolutely fair competitive event, emphasizing players' control over ninjas and tactical combinations, rather than differences in stats, levels, or the ninjas themselves.]

[Only Unlimited Class experts are the true kings of the Arena and deserve the title of professional player.]

[If you think you're strong enough and dare to face off head-on against famous experts of the ninja world, then hurry and sign up!]

[Registration closes in one week]

"Unlimited Class Tournament?"

Naruto recalled when Unlimited Class mode had just gone live, when he and Sasuke had a PK match.

That time, he lost.

"Hmph! Who would be afraid!" Naruto clenched his fist, fire blazing in his eyes. "This time, I'll definitely win!"

"Sounds interesting. I'll join the fun sometime too." Minato said with a smile.

"Hey, hey, hey, hey?! I'm already about to lose to Dad—didn't the difficulty just skyrocket?!"

"What are you saying? Didn't you just say you wouldn't be afraid? Or were you just bluffing?"

"Just kidding~ I'll win!"
