083 Naruto Mobile Game

[A mysterious ninja is about to appear——]

[I am the one who unified the world after losing my direction on the road of life!!]

After the server-wide competition ended, the Ninja Mobile Game suddenly released an update preview — a new High-Class Recruitment ninja was about to appear.

Different from the very beginning when only a single ninja was released, and also different from the last time when four ninjas were launched at once.

This time, there were two ninjas.

The first black silhouette looked like someone with spiky hair, with a chain coiling around his body.

The second had an even more explosive, slanted hairstyle. Faintly, it could be recognized that he was holding a kunai.

There were two images, but the preview description was only a single sentence — just that the beginning, ending, and middle segment were written in different colors.

Lost on the road of life?

Sounds like Naruto, Guy — these people already understood. Without a doubt, it had to be him!

"Hello everyone, I'm the host of this information conference. Although I'm an old acquaintance, this High-Class Recruitment ninja is also an old acquaintance to everyone."

"Hello everyone, I'm a Konoha ninja, Hatake Kakashi. I didn't expect to have the chance to be on the information conference so soon!"

The light screen had already started. The timing was some time after the server-wide competitions across the Ninja World had ended.

At the information conference site, besides the official host Kuroda, sitting next to him was someone no one was unfamiliar with — Kakashi.

Thinking back, when the Ninja Mobile Game had just launched and high-level ninjas were scarce, wasn't it Hatake Kakashi who held up the scene?

Although, even so, you still had to spend quite a lot of money.

The Akatsuki organization was absolutely the slowest in the server-wide competition, because their members had been split into two organizations, resulting in a fiercely contested battle.

But now, it had basically ended.

"Damn it! We actually lost? Bastards, you guys were way too ruthless!"

"What are you talking about, Hidan? We're not the same, after all one is the champion and one is the runner-up, hm!"

Pain, Konan, Deidara, Sasori, and Tobi's Akatsuki Team One won. Itachi, Kisame, Kakuzu, Hidan, and Zetsu's Akatsuki Team Two lost, becoming the runner-up.

Not mentioning how furious Hidan was after losing the internal battle, their attention was drawn to the information conference.

At the information conference site, besides Kuroda and Hatake Kakashi, there was a third person who hadn't introduced himself yet.

The Akatsuki members took a look — well then, wasn't this the Apprentice who had hurriedly run off right after the competition ended?

"Um, hello everyone, I'm Tobi, hehe. Suddenly appearing in front of the entire Ninja World, I'm still a little shy!"

The man wearing an orange mask sat on the sofa, introducing himself bashfully, like a shy little girl. Even the mask seemed to blush along with him.

The audience watching could only feel indescribable discomfort, goosebumps rising.

That tone of voice.....

Kakashi's gaze shifted. He cast a gloomy glance at that person and silently took note of him.

Although the movement was extremely subtle, the person involved actually noticed it.

Hmph! Trash Kakashi!

No matter how goofy he acted on the surface, the face behind the mask never held any warmth — it only changed when he cursed Kakashi.

Obito could barely hold it together. He never doubted that he could appear in High-Class Recruitment information conferences — even Pain, a dead man, could appear.

But he had never imagined sitting together with that piece of garbage, and next he would even have to introduce ninjas together.

Tch—spit! Bad luck!

Sitting between the two, Kuroda secretly laughed. What could be more amusing than making these two appear together?

"I'll reveal in advance that this Konoha technician is a High-Class Recruitment A, while this masked man is this period's High-Class Recruitment S," Kuroda said.

Crack, crack, crack—

Suddenly, someone seemed to hear the sound of hearts shattering.

Nagato, viewing the scene through Pain, looked around and saw the Akatsuki members who had just been chatting all now wearing deadpan expressions.

He thought about it — oh right. It wasn't surprising for Madara to be an S, but in other people's eyes, this was bad news.

"Tobi? High-Class Recruitment S?" Hidan stared wide-eyed.

"He's worthy?" Deidara ground his teeth. "A guy who can die under my Art is an Explosion at any time!"

"You're the least qualified to say that." Sasori said coldly.

A brat in his teens — one look and you could tell he'd die early. Yet his duel arena strength was insanely broken.

This, this, this — it was completely mismatched with reality!

As they spoke, the information conference had already entered the main topic, and the light screen's theme shifted to the training ground.

At this moment in the training ground, Hatake Kakashi stood on one side, still wearing his familiar outfit, except he had already taken off his outer jacket.

On the other side stood a straight-backed figure. What caught the eye was that both the mask style and clothing were different from the man currently sitting at the information conference.

"I changed masks while changing clothes too. No problem, right?" Obito explained flatly.

Everyone nodded subconsciously. There was nothing wrong with it — one wore a black cloak, the other an Akatsuki cloak. The mask patterns were similar, though.

What was worth noting was that this time, both ninjas were in the same training ground.

This was also Kuroda's handiwork.

Since it was these two, letting them enter the same training ground to demonstrate ninjas together shouldn't be a problem, right?

"So, who goes first?" Kuroda asked.

"I will," Kakashi said, looking at his phone — though inwardly he was full of helplessness.

Because… he didn't know the skills!

Yes. This information conference was rather rushed. To prevent everyone from falling asleep, they had to hurry and hold it.

So there was no time given for Kakashi to familiarize himself with the skills. 

Kakashi controlled the ninja to walk around the training ground and performed a full set of basic attacks. 

But Kakashi… no, it should be said that everyone in the Ninja World noticed something.

During the basic attacks, the second skill of that ninja changed several times.

Kakashi demonstrated them one by one.

By default, it was Chidori, similar to the paid [Hatake Kakashi].

Pressing basic attack once, the second skill became Earth Style: Earth Flow Wall — of course, with a dog head on it.

Pressing basic attack three times, it became Water Dragon Bullet. When the ninja leapt into the air and came down at the last segment, pressing it released a small gust of wind. If used on the ground, it would spit fire first, then wind to amplify it.

"Can different elemental techniques be used depending on the situation…" Kakashi muttered.

The audience also found it novel. It wasn't switching through long or short presses, but through basic attacks.

As expected of a Konoha technician, able to proficiently use five elemental techniques. Some people were extremely impressed.

"Hatake Kakashi, you really missed it. You didn't pay attention to the most important part." Obito suddenly spoke in mockery.

Kakashi frowned and looked at the top-left corner of the phone screen. After the ninja's name, there was an extra line of text.

[Hatake Kakashi · Mangekyō Sharingan]

On the Hokage Rock, Sasuke's Sharingan had long been wide open, his heart filled with disbelief.

He had noticed it early on. He could understand Kakashi having a Sharingan, but activating the Mangekyō Sharingan — what was going on?

"Mangekyō Sharingan? What's that?" Naruto scratched his head in confusion.

But as soon as he finished speaking, he felt slightly uncomfortable and touched his stomach. No one else noticed.

"It's like Uchiha Itachi's," Shikamaru said.

Everyone nodded. Aside from Sasuke, they had all played before. [Uchiha Itachi]'s skills were Mangekyō Sharingan dōjutsu.

"So that means Kakashi has it too?" Guy suddenly became excited.

Kamui!

[Hatake Kakashi · Mangekyō Sharingan] formed hand seals. As the Mangekyō pattern flashed, a region of spatial distortion appeared in front of him.

"Kamui, huh? Hmph! Looks like a technique that forcibly sucks objects within the barrier range into another dimension. If it can be released at long range, it's indeed a good dōjutsu."

After Obito finished speaking, he realized Kuroda and Kakashi were both looking at him. His expression stiffened behind the mask.

He scratched his head and forced an awkward laugh.

"Hehe~ It just looks like that. I didn't say anything wrong, right?"
