It rained heavily, and Kotomune and Jiraiya hurried on in the rain.The period when Yan Zong was in coma plus another night of rest after waking up.Too much time was wasted, they had to travel all night.

Beams of sunshine broke through the dark clouds, and the rain that had fallen all night stopped.The sunlight that had just passed through the dark clouds was too weak to pass through the dense canopy of trees. Kotomune and Jiraiya were also walking quickly through the dense forest.A dazzling light appeared in front of them, and the two of them accelerated their pace and rushed into the light.

Beams of sunlight hit a huge circular building, and Yanzong and Jiraiya stood on the edge of the cliff.Looking at the huge building in the distance, that is the arena they are going to - the Giant's Bathtub.The arena has no roof and looks like a basin, hence the nickname Giant's Bathtub.And not many people care about its real name - "Fire Country Arena".

"Go and sign up first!" Yan Zong said.Jiraiya squatted on the edge of the cliff and looked at the scene below. Directly below them was the avenue leading to the arena.The avenue was crowded, and people came out after the rain stopped in the morning.

"It looks like there will be a few more days of good weather!" Jiraiya said and jumped down.

The gates of the arena were crowded with people, and countless people came to see who would participate.Yan Zong looked at the arena not far away. He could only see a small part of it clearly from more than 20 meters away.Raising his head, Yan Zong looked at the tall outer wall of the arena, which was the tallest building he had ever seen.

Wearing wet clothes, the two squeezed through the crowd to the registration point, which was a small house like a pavilion.There is a passage separated by a red tape next to it, leading to the gate of the arena.There are staff maintaining order everywhere, ensuring order on the scene.

"Two!" Yan Zong stood at the window and said to the staff responsible for registration.

"He can't do it." The staff member looked at Jiraiya and said seriously.

"Give me an audience look!" Jiraiya stepped forward and said with a smile, "I forgot to tell you that you are the only one participating in this."

Jiraiya took out 10 taels of wet banknotes and handed them to the staff.The staff member was dissatisfied and tore up a ticket that had been printed long ago and gave it to him, along with Yan Zong's voucher for participating in the competition.

"Why?" Yan Zong was a little curious.

"because······"

"Give me a moment, give me a moment..." The crowd of onlookers was torn open, and a man wearing a green one-piece sportswear rushed in front, followed by a kid wearing exactly the same clothes.

Guo JiaTou has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and they have similar features.But the difference between the two could be clearly seen, and Jiraiya was stunned for a moment as if he recognized the person.

"Ah... Teacher Kai, we lost again!" The kid put his hands on his knees and gritted his teeth.

"Li, never give up on youth, you have to keep working hard!" The middle-aged man gave the kid a thumbs up.

"Yes!" The kid clenched his fists, straightened his back and shouted, "Teacher Kai!"

"Li!" the man shouted and hugged the kid, completely ignoring what others thought of them.

Yanzong frowned and glanced at Jiraiya, who shrugged at Yanzong.He couldn't figure out what was going on. Jiraiya hadn't returned to Konoha for several years.He only knew Kai.

"Teacher, hurry up and sign up. If you're late, you won't be able to participate!" A girl with a round haircut walked on the road the two of them drove, and there was a person with strange eyes following her.The iris of the eye has only one line, and the pupil is much larger than that of ordinary people.Gives a white crystal feel.

"Oh, Tiantian." Kai let go of Xiao Li and stood up, "You and Ning should work harder."

"Tiantian, you are the last one." Li pointed at Tiantian and said.The girl covered her forehead and said she had nothing to say.He had to race when he was on the road, and Neji was only one step ahead of him.

"Four!" Kai slapped 8 yuan on the staff's desk.

"Teacher, I'm not good at this kind of fighting!" Tiantian was a little surprised.

"Tiantian, youth never flinches." Kai gave Tiantian a thumbs up, showing his neat and shining white teeth.

"Just in time, the registration quota is full!" The staff handed Kai the voucher for participating in the competition.

"Kai!" Jiraiya finally interrupted and went up to say hello.

Kotomune, Jiraiya and Kai and their group found a hot spring house. Several men soaked in the hot spring and enjoyed the sunny weather after the rain.They had been driving all night in the rain last night, so it was a top priority for them to soak in a hot spring and change into dry clothes.

"Kai, why are you here?" Jiraiya asked.

"After I took them to complete the mission, I learned that the Hero Cup was about to start, so I took them to practice."

"Oh? Isn't it too early for them that they are still genin?"

"They are all my best students. I believe they can do it!" Kai looked very confident.Jiraiya had nothing more to say.

Tiantian sneezed in the bathroom next door, thinking that he had a slight cold from the rain last night and didn't pay much attention to it.Silently, I got into the water. The hot spring was very lively and there were many other women.As for the men, Jiraiya has already taken care of it.

Yanzong never thought that Jiraiya was so rich. He thought that Jiraiya helped him buy the sword for [-] million taels.It was all his belongings, and Yan Zong had plans not to pay back the money.

Kotomune, Jiraiya and Metkai faced the wall and peeked into the women's bathroom through the small hole in the wall.The movements of the three of them were exactly the same, and the hole in the wall was made by Jiraiya.The two brats have been sent out by three men, asking them to arrange the next meal.

"Jiraiya, why don't they let you compete?" Yanzong turned around and leaned against the bathtub, no longer looking at the scenery in the women's bathroom.Just watch, watching too much will hurt your health.

"Jiraiya-sama didn't participate?" Kai was a little surprised.

Jiraiya turned around and leaned against the pool as well.He said slowly: "I used to win three championships in a row with my magic skills, and then they didn't let me participate."

"Weapons and large-scale ninjutsu cannot be used in the competition; senjutsu cannot be used. This is because I added it." Jiraiya said proudly.

The barbecue was steaming, and six people sat around a barbecue table.Jiraiya treated him to a treat, and the three little ghosts ate like hungry ghosts.The competition started the day after registration closed, giving them plenty of time to rest.

"Kai, have you never participated?" Jiraiya asked.

"No, I've been taking care of the genin. I'm usually training them when I'm not on missions." Kai responded, "I plan to let them train for one more year before taking the chunin exam."

"I remember the class division hasn't started yet, right?"

"It's still a while."

"Jiraiya, tell us about the arena!" Yan Zong said.

"Yes, Lord Jiraiya!" Kai also wanted to know.

The three little guys who only knew how to eat barbecue stopped. They were also going to participate in the Hero Cup competition.You should also have some understanding of the Hero Cup.

"About the Hero Cup, first of all, the Hero Cup is held in rotation among the four major countries on the continent. Once a year, everyone can sign up to participate. Even during the war, the Hero Cup was rarely suspended. Every time the Hero Cup is held, it can stimulate local development. economy, but it also comes with some dangers. For example, some people with ulterior motives."

"But this has nothing to do with us. Basically, no one will come to trouble us. There are many contestants and some underground forces gathered here. These are not easy to mess with."

"As for the competition, in the first game starting tomorrow, 500 people will be divided into five groups, each group consists of 100 people. It will be an orderly melee, and the last 20 people standing will advance. After that, there will be a challenge... ··”

"Wait a minute, what is an orderly melee?" Yan Zong was a little confused.

"Ah, Master Jiraiya, what does this mean?" Metkai obviously didn't understand, and the few brats looked at Jiraiya in confusion.

"You'll understand when you get on the field!"

The next day, the draw began.Yanzong was the first to be drawn into the first group, and with him was Tiantian, who had a round hair.Metkai is in the third group, and Neji and Xiao Li are in the fourth group.

"The first group enters!" the abbot shouted.

Yan Zong stood at the end of the team and stood beside him every day. Among the 100 people, they were the only ones who knew each other.The huge door of the arena was opened, and the crowd gathered at the door slowly began to flow.

"Oh!" people in the stands cheered, waving their hands.

The contestants entering the venue raised their hands to show off themselves.As long as I enter the top 2000, I will receive a bonus of [-] million and my voucher, which is why so many people choose to give it a try.

Yanzong and Tiantian were the last to enter the arena. There was a huge circular open space in the middle of the arena.The tall stands on both sides became walls, and there seemed to be waves on the walls.Jiraiya said that it was a barrier to protect the audience in the stands.

The huge arena was open-air, but Yanzong didn't see any moss anywhere.That's because there is also a barrier on the top of the arena, which not only prevents rain but also allows light to pass through.

Kotomune looked around and found Jiraiya.He sat alone in the stands with no one he knew.However, there was no one sitting next to him. He was sitting in a luxurious viewing seat.

The registration fee was 2 taels, and Jiraiya gave him 10 taels.The remaining 8 taels were used to buy luxury viewing seats, but the seat where Jiraiya sat was not the best.

The better one is above, Yan Zong looked up.At the highest point of the viewing gallery, there is a row of boxes.Someone was already lying on the windowsill, ready to watch the battle in the field.This box is prepared for people with status. It's not just a matter of money, but also status.For example, the Daimyo of the Land of Fire.

"The first group of players is ready. The first game of this year's Hero Cup is about to begin!" the host's voice shouted through the speaker.

He said he was talking about the first game, but that was actually according to Jiraiya.After the knockout round of 500 people, the real Hero Cup will begin.

"Please watch the countdown with me, ten, nine..." the abbot shouted.The audience, led by the abbot, also started counting down, although the countdown was much slower than the accurate time.

"one!"

When the count reached three, the abbot had stopped counting down.The audience counted down by themselves, and a loud cheer broke out after counting.Amidst the deafening cheers, the battle begins!
