"I've successfully fooled him!" A trace of a smile was revealed on the corners of the Fourth Kazekage's mouth, and then slowly transformed into Kaoru's appearance.
This Hidden Sand Village ninja was only seeing this scene of the Fourth Kazekage because of the genjutsu that Kaoru had applied.
And Kaoru had only said a few words to that Hidden Sand Village ninja in the eyes of the other people, and that Hidden Sand Village ninja had inexplicably turned his spearhead around, and had left Kaoru in place to attack Deidara and Hozuki Mangetsu.
"What's going on....." The Fourth Kazekage on the high platform was somewhat unable to understand, and looked at the situation in the arena with a face that was full of confusion, and he didn't understand just what his village's puppeteer was doing.
"Lord Kazekage seems to still be somewhat unable to understand, right?" The Third Hokage, however, had a face that was full of smiles at the side, and he was very happy in his heart at this time.
"If I haven't guessed wrong, then that ninja from your village has probably fallen for a genjutsu, and that's why he suddenly went to attack the other two people, and Lord Kazekage should properly train the genjutsu level of the ninjas from your village ah....."
The Third Hokage explained, and his old face was smiling very brightly, and he had been ridiculed by the Fourth Kazekage previously, and he could also finally hold his head up high this time, and all of this was thanks to Kaoru.
"Hmph!" The Fourth Kazekage harrumphed coldly, and it seemed that it was their Hidden Sand Village's turn to lose face this time.
"Black Secret Technique, Six-Limbed Kunai!" In the arena, that Hidden Sand Village ninja's puppet waved all six of its arms together, and shot out a large quantity of kunai towards Hozuki Mangetsu and Deidara!
"This fellow.....he's actually attacking proactively!"
"Another nuisance has come!" A look of question flashed through Hozuki Mangetsu and Deidara's eyes, and they used their moves to resist the flying kunai one after another.
Instantly, the battle between the two people transformed into a melee between three people.
And a strange thing happened in the arena, and three of the four people in the match were fighting fiercely, and the other one, however, was sitting on the ground with a look of leisure on his face, and watching the three of them fight.
"This little brat is truly considerably clever, and he's actually been played into a situation where he's sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight!" The Third Hokage praised Kaoru inwardly on the high platform.
And the Fourth Kazekage, as well as the Hidden Mist Village's Ao and the Hidden Stone Village's Kōtsuchi, had a look of displeasure on their faces, and their ninjas were fighting strenuously, and that Leaf Village little brat was actually watching the show on the other side, and Kaoru truly had a chance to reap the benefits if things continued like this.
The spectators outside the arena were also feeling very confused by this strange scene.
However, this three-person melee didn't last for very long, because that Hidden Sand Village ninja's strength was ultimately a level lower compared to the other two people, and his puppet had quickly transformed into scrap metal under Deidara's bomb bombardment and Hozuki Mangetsu's twin swords.
"Just what makes you think that you're qualified to disturb the battle between the two of us with your strength that's so weak?"
Hozuki Mangetsu harrumphed coldly, and directly propped up his twin swords, and slapped them onto that Hidden Sand Village's puppet!
"Bang!" The puppet, which had originally transformed into scrap metal, was completely shattered.
"My puppet ah....." This Hidden Sand Village ninja was completely dazed while looking at his puppet, which had been completely shattered.
"Hmm, a fellow like this isn't even qualified to appreciate my art at all!"
Deidara also said it like that, and then formed hand seals with both of his hands, and some little spiders crawled onto the Hidden Sand Village ninja's body, and then exploded!
"Bang!" The Hidden Sand Village ninja, who had been blasted and had a face that was covered in dirt, stood in place and swayed for a good while after the smoke, and finally fell down.
It was fortunate that the power of the bombs that Deidara had applied wasn't very great, and otherwise this Hidden Sand Village ninja would have met Yama a long time ago, but the reason that Deidara hadn't directly blasted this Hidden Sand Village ninja to death was mainly because he felt that this Hidden Sand Village ninja was truly too weak, and there was truly no need to mobilize too much strength.
Therefore, this pitiful Hidden Sand Village ninja became the first ninja to be eliminated in this four-way championship.
Asuma, who was at the edge of the competition arena, immediately used the Body Flicker Technique, and arrived beside this Hidden Sand Village ninja, and carried him out of the competition arena in one go after seeing that a ninja in the arena had fallen down.
The ninjas in the arena were carrying out a battle, and the two Kage-level figures outside the arena were trading insults with each other.
"Aiya, it's truly a pity ah, and I didn't expect that it would actually be the ninja from the Hidden Sand Village who would be the first to be eliminated, and this is making me not know what to say ah, Lord Kazekage....."
The Third Hokage said with a smile that didn't reach his eyes after seeing this situation.
"Hmph, even so, and this ninja from my village has at least defeated one of your Leaf Village ninjas." The Fourth Kazekage also retorted in the same way.
These two Kage-level powerhouses were mocking each other verbally, and were also despising each other countless times in their hearts.
"Awesome awesome....." Kaoru, who was in the arena, clapped his hands after looking at the Hidden Sand Village ninja, who had been blasted to the point where he was completely black.
And this action of his caused Hozuki Mangetsu to feel displeased.
"There are two kinds of people that I loathe the most in my life, and one kind is a person like that Hidden Sand Village ninja from before, who overestimates his abilities, and the second kind is a fellow like you....."
Hozuki Mangetsu looked at Kaoru again after resolving the Hidden Sand Village ninja.
"A fellow like you only knows how to act clever, and is watching the show leisurely at the side with a face that's full of leisure, and you want us to fight like a snipe and a clam so that you, the fisherman, can reap the benefits? Keep dreaming!"
Hozuki Mangetsu continued to say, and his eyes were full of a look of loathing for Kaoru.
He greatly worshiped martial strength, and was considerably dissatisfied with Kaoru's actions.
"Is that so?" A trace of a smile appeared on the corners of Kaoru's mouth, "I also hate a kind of person very much, and that is a person who likes to put on airs, like you!"
"Hmph, I don't like to have a war of words with people!" Hozuki Mangetsu harrumphed coldly, and then turned around and faced Kaoru head-on, "I'll take care of you first then."
Hozuki Mangetsu had never exchanged blows with Kaoru before, and Kaoru's strength should only be about as strong as Shin in his view, and hadn't reached the standard of a powerhouse in his heart.
Then, Hozuki Mangetsu turned his head to look at Deidara: "We'll settle our debt later, and I'll kill this kid first!"
"Suit yourself....." Deidara, however, revealed a strange smile, and Hozuki Mangetsu didn't know Kaoru's strength, but he was considerably clear about it, and Hozuki Mangetsu would definitely not have a good outcome if he challenged Kaoru.
"I'll resolve you within five moves!" Hozuki Mangetsu lowered his voice and harrumphed, and formed hand seals with both of his hands: "Water Style, Water Surge Wave!"
He opened his mouth, and spat out a large quantity of water flow towards Kaoru.
"Hmph." Kaoru, however, smiled slightly, and formed hand seals with both of his hands in the face of the incoming water flow: "Water Release: Surging Waves!"
The same pillar of water sprayed out from Kaoru's mouth, and charged towards Hozuki Mangetsu.
"Bang!" The two water pillars collided fiercely, and sparked fierce water droplets!
However, Kaoru's Water Style was faintly taking the advantage when these two water pillars collided, and was pressing Hozuki Mangetsu's water pillar back!
"This little brat's Water Style isn't weak!" A trace of shock flashed through Hozuki Mangetsu's eyes, who was spitting out the water pillar, and his Water Style, which he was most skilled in, had actually been suppressed by his Water Style.
"If that's the case, then I'll use a plan within a plan!" Hozuki Mangetsu thought to himself inwardly, and then formed hand seals quietly and quickly once again in his hand.
"Bang!" In the competition of Water Style, Kaoru's Water Style finally defeated Hozuki Mangetsu's Water Style, and the two water pillars mixed together and directly formed a water flow that had a radius of one meter, and submerged Hozuki Mangetsu's body.
"Swish....." Hozuki Mangetsu's body disappeared within the water flow just like that,
"Strange, there's a problem!" Kaoru immediately realized that this Hozuki Mangetsu was definitely playing some kind of trick after seeing that Hozuki Mangetsu hadn't reappeared from within the water after several seconds after being submerged by the water.
