Chapter 57: The Beginning of the Five Kage Tournament
The water dragons from the Nine Water Dragon Bullet easily ripped through Shamon's defense—an undisputed, clean hit.
"Stop!" shouted Kazekage Reto, his voice loud and abrupt.
Uzumaki Asaoka's eyes narrowed with annoyance. Back when Shamon was provoking him, Reto had said nothing. But now that his golden boy was getting his ass handed to him, the man had the nerve to interfere? No wonder Brother Su Xiuyu always said the ninja world was full of shameless hypocrites—you only earn respect when your fists do the talking.
Ignoring Reto's call, Asaoka locked Shamon inside a Water Prison. The guy was already unconscious, but Asaoka didn't care—he began preparing a sealing technique to keep the loudmouth down and out for the next two days.
Reto misread the situation completely. Thinking Asaoka was going too far, he immediately launched an attack.
"Wind Style: Infinite Sand Breakthrough!"
Reto knew this move could stir up serious consequences. But in his eyes, it didn't matter. Even if Shamon had just lost to Asaoka, he was still Sand Village's most promising young talent—he couldn't just stand by and do nothing.
"Tch. Beat the little one, now the big one jumps in," Asaoka muttered, unimpressed.
He clapped his hands together. "Summoning Technique: Kaijuu Fate!"
Boom.
The sky seemed to darken for a second as Fate descended.
