"Indeed, even I am very interested in the next game. I hope it will be an equally exciting competition."

Luo Sha agreed with Shiraishi's statement, nodded and said.

All seven games of Group A and Group B in the first round have ended, and now it is the second round.

The winners of the first round will start the knockout round again.

The first match of Group A in the second round was the battle between Gaara and Naruto.

Although they belong to different ninja villages, both sides have one thing in common - jinchūriki.

They who can use special chakra will become one of the few bright spots in this final.

Moreover, Shiraishi's focus goes far beyond this.

Seeing Naruto, he couldn't help but think of the talented Konoha ninja who once made him fearful - the fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato!

I hope Gaara can guide Naruto's power of the nine tails. That guy Minato must have left some back-up plan for Naruto secretly, or maybe he hasn't completely died yet. Shiraishi's face didn't move.

Sound and appearance, but something is being deduced in my heart.

He didn't believe that twelve years ago, Minato would do nothing and sacrifice himself in order to seal the Kyuubi.

As the most powerful ninja in Konoha at that time, with the power to intimidate other countries, it was impossible for Minato not to know what kind of dilemma Konoha would face if he died.

And the other party is trying to make Konoha weak and wants to do this. There must be something more important than 'sacrifice' to accomplish.
Chapter completed!
