Immersed in the Battlefield of Heaven and Earth was not only Konoha.
At the same time, other ninja villages were also busy with the same thing that night.
However, compared to Konoha, there were still some differences.
[1st Place: 10000]
[2nd Place: 3874]
[3rd Place: 2455]
Itachi looked at the final Battlefield of Heaven and Earth ranking displayed on his phone without a trace of emotion.
"Good grief... this Battlefield of Heaven and Earth really lacks any challenge," Kisame said in his strange tone — somewhere between mockery and lament.
"Boring! I can't even show off my art! Hmph!"
Deidara turned around and walked away.
There were quite a few like Deidara.
After finishing their rounds in the Battlefield of Heaven and Earth, most members of Akatsuki left one after another.
Only Pain and Konan remained.
"Pain, is this alright? This group action didn't seem to gain us anything... some people are already unhappy."
"Their opinions don't matter. Things are progressing as expected — all of this is just preparation for the future."
Konan looked at Pain's calm face and said nothing.
She would follow this man, no matter what he did.
Take this victory, for example.
In Konoha, no matter who was matched with whom in the team fights, people rarely ever held back on purpose.
After all, they were either clansmen or civilians — who would be afraid of whom?
Even if they ran into the Hokage, they'd still dare to give it a go!
But that sort of thing would never happen in Amegakure.
To ordinary Amegakure citizens, Akatsuki's existence was little more than a rumor.
But when they actually saw the name [Akatsuki] appearing on the Battlefield of Heaven and Earth's match list, they immediately understood what to do.
The ten members of [Akatsuki] — were exactly those ten members.
It might sound obvious, but with those ten people together in one organization, losing was almost unthinkable.
The conclusion of Akatsuki's Battlefield of Heaven and Earth matches was indeed one of the fastest across the entire ninja world.
No — it was one of the fastest.
If Amegakure's outcome could be chalked up to everyone showing "respect" and letting them win, then even the bored members of [Akatsuki] had nothing to complain about.
But Otogakure was a different story — pure domination.
Orochimaru had founded his organization called [Eternal Life].
He selected outstanding Sound Ninja such as Kimimaro, and they won with overwhelming ease — no questions asked.
Among Sound Ninjas, there was always that fear of being matched with Orochimaru, yet at the same time, the hope of being matched with him — so they could show their loyalty.
For example, by throwing the match.
Of course, Orochimaru didn't refuse such generosity.
In fact, within Otogakure, this had already become an unspoken rule.
Those who failed to "understand the situation" — well, no one knew where they'd gone.
"Winning only gives this kind of reward?"
After casually playing around with [Sarutobi Asuma] on the training grounds, Orochimaru quickly lost interest.
He didn't care about the strength of the ninjas — he could create super Kage-level powerhouses with his experiments eventually.
It was only a matter of time.
What he cared about was what he could get.
Even though players were from different servers, the rewards were identical everywhere — wasn't that a bit suspicious?
Then again, Orochimaru feared nothing.
Even as an S-class missing-nin, he could still strut about openly in public chat.
[Global Channel]
[Orochimaru: Hehehe~ Am I really the only one who's finished the Battlefield of Heaven and Earth already?]
[Hero Jiraiya: Yo, Orochimaru.]
[Orochimaru: Hm? You finished too? That fast? Seems Konoha's really fallen.]
[Gamble: We didn't play that crap... Drink up! Jiraiya, drink!]
[Orochimaru: ...You've been drinking since three days ago? Seems I'll outlive you two among the Sannin after all.]
[Raikage: Hey, hey! Konoha folks, stop treating the public chat like your private room!]
[Will of Stone: Bad boy, you done yet?]
[Raikage: Of course not! The men of Kumogakure never hold back — every one of us fights with real blades and blood!]
[What's the Value: You sure talk big, Raikage-sama. You don't sound as practical as you claim.]
[Marriageable Age: Oh? And what about Kazekage-sama then?]
...
Sunagakure.
Rasa exited the public chat.
This was the Kazekage's office, but compared to usual, there were three extra people here.
"Father, we've basically secured victory," Temari said, looking up from her phone after finishing a match.
Rasa ignored her and looked at Gaara instead.
Gaara was unusually calm — both hands clutching his phone tightly, like a child unwilling to let go of a new toy.
It was hard to imagine using that description for Gaara, but at this moment, it fit perfectly.
"Ah~~"
As the ninja on the screen let out a death cry, Gaara loosened his grip slightly.
He had lost.
But strangely, he wasn't upset.
Why?
Because the Ninja Mobile Game... wasn't the same as a real ninja battle.
No matter how many times you killed your opponent, they never truly died.
That made the battle meaningless — and killing lost its thrill.
Ninjas trained endlessly for killing.
So if there was no killing... then what was the point of being a ninja?
Gaara thought of Yashamaru — his uncle, the man he had killed with his own hands.
If this were the Ninja Mobile Game... Yashamaru wouldn't have died, right?
Beside him, Kankuro was surprised at Gaara's calm reaction after losing.
He continued playing as usual — until his eyes nearly popped out.
He glanced at his sister and father.
Temari was clearly delighted, but Rasa frowned deeply, lost in thought.
Although being addicted to the Ninja Mobile Game was better than wandering aimlessly as usual, Gaara's current state was still unsatisfactory.
But Rasa didn't stop him.
He decided to keep observing — maybe he'd discover a new kind of value in Gaara through this.
Meanwhile, the public chat was buzzing again.
[Invincible Hokage: Damn it, I still lost. How lame.]
[White Clouds: Naruto, it's rare to see you not throwing a tantrum.]
[Invincible Hokage: ...]
[Invincible Konoha Kage: I'm sorry, Naruto! Please kick me out of the organization!]
[Invincible Hokage: No, Konohamaru...]
[Invincible Konoha Kage: But I'll be back! Someday, I'll prove with my strength that in the Ninja Mobile Game, there are no shortcuts!]
[Super Konoha Kage: Konohamaru!]
[Strongest Konoha Kage: Konohamaru!]
[Invincible Hokage: Waaaah, Konohamaru, you... you're just too cool!]
[Glory to Uchiha: Stop embarrassing yourself, dead last!]
[Heir of Fire's Will: Hahaha! Konohamaru, the fact that you understand that much means this loss was worth it!]
[Raikage: I said stop treating this like your home, Konoha brats!]
[Ordinary Person: Um, could someone explain why everyone's names are so... creative?]
[Sand Rapper: Yo yo~ lend me your ear, I'll make it clear! In the ninja world, rhymes are dear! Top of the game, rhythm aflame! From Kumogakure, Killer Bee the name!]
[Everyone: ...]
[Konoha's Shadow: Don't treat the public chat like your home... you guy from Kumogakure!]
"Give me a duck neck!!!"
In the Raikage's office, with a thunderous crash, a window shattered open —
Raikage A stood there panting heavily.
Not far away, his secretary Mabui, and his subordinates Darui and others, all facepalmed in perfect unison.
Before Raikage, the floor had a deep human-shaped crater embedded in it.
After a long pause, a trembling hand emerged from the hole — slowly raising a single, quivering gesture.
"You... you idiot! You bastard!!!"
