Hokage: I will never go offline

The next day, the dance of swords began to unfold in response to the first prize of the New Year's Festival.

Because it is said that the Sword Dance Conference held every 8 years will actually be held every year, but the call to the world of Quannin will only be held every 8 years.

Whether you are a samurai, swordsman, ninja or ordinary people, you can come and participate in this sword dance.

The predecessor of the real conference is "Blade Dance", so it doesn't have to be a sword, as long as it is any weapon with a blade, you can participate in the competition, even weapons such as shuriken and kunai, you can come to compete.

But there is a rule that chakra cannot be used.

Because in the country of iron, all the buildings are made of special materials, as long as you use chakra to transform in your body, you will be discovered and immediately disqualified.

Of course, it is possible to use Chakra normally to hold a sword, or move, and improve one's own abilities.

It's just that it is not possible to use Chakra as ninjutsu, physical jutsu, illusion, etc., and it is also forbidden to use all Chakra with attributes.

This is undoubtedly a limitation for ninjas.

"But every time, there are still countless ninjas who come to participate. Even my puppet technique or Temari's fan will improve a lot of fighting experience in such competitions."

"...Why are you here?" Neji frowned slightly, looking at Kankuro who was talking in front of him.

Kankuro scratched the back of his head and said, "There is no way. In order to improve the national strength, the Kingdom of Sand is really trying its best to let us ninjas improve their strength. Temari and I finally got the quota."

And when everyone looked around, there was a sea of ​​people.

And the venue below is a square-shaped swordsman dojo-like venue.

It is very spacious, and the side length of the square field is 30 meters wide.

The spectators across the venue could not even hear the conversation of the audience on the opposite side at all.

"It's amazing. I didn't expect the Iron Country to have so many cultures, which have been passed down year after year..." Ino said with emotion.

During the New Year's greeting ceremony last night, she and Tian Tian had already experienced enough influence of the local culture, and she simply hated that she was not born in the Iron Country.

"So, as of today, has anyone been able to defeat Sanfuan and take away the prize?" Ning Ci asked.

"No, it's impossible."

Neji didn't expect that even Kankuro was so desperate.

"Impossible. A ninja or someone else can't defeat Mifune, who is a combination of swordsman and samurai."

"Two kinds?" Tian Tian also leaned over to listen.

There were a few strangers around who came over to listen, and everyone was very interested in the rumors about Sanfuan.

"That's right, there are two types. Swordsman is a profession with a high threshold. It doesn't mean that you can be a swordsman as long as you can wield a sword. It is rumored that until 20 years ago, when the profession of swordsman was still popular, the threshold was to at least beat the official swordsman." One hundred swordsmen. That is to say, one has to defeat one hundred official swordsmen in a row to be called a swordsman. And the record set by Mifune at that time has not been broken by anyone so far..."

"How many?"

"One thousand and ninety-eight."

"..."

The people around were silent for a while.

Just this number is scary.

"Unbelievable, are there so many swordsmen in this world?" Tian Tian bit his finger and pouted.

Kankuro chuckled, and said, "So, when he was young, Mifune almost defeated the swordsmen of the Zennin world! The other kind is the samurai. Because Mifune's attainments are far more than that."

"Samurai are good at using katana, and they are the most favored group of citizens. Because they not only want to practice how to skillfully use katana, but also have very strict rules. Once they make mistakes or make mistakes, they will be severely punished. You must even have the awareness to be ready to commit seppuku at any time. The path of the samurai has given Mifune a certain level of attainment in the katana sword, and most importantly, it has honed his character..."

Ning Ci felt more empathetic. He could feel the coldness in his body. The so-called cultivation of the mind is really important.

Those evil spirits cannot be suppressed by chakra alone. If you are not careful, you will be dragged into the abyss, and you will never be able to recover...

"Next game, Black Picke Thunder Ya vs Ghost Lantern Water Moon!"

A samurai with a ball head announced to the public.

Then, the two sides entered.

At the scene, there was a sea of ​​people, and everyone shouted and cheered.

Ning Ci narrowed his eyes, ready to see the strength of the so-called first-generation Ninja Seven.

"Then... let's start!"

Shuiyue and Lei Ya slowly moved forward.

I saw Shuiyue waving the beheading sword in her hand, amazed everyone.

On the other hand, Lei Ya clamped the double knives in his hands on his shoulders, making a "Zi Zi" sound of thunder and lightning.

"Oh! These two people are holding one of Kirigakure's seven ninja swords!"

"What? Is this a battle between the Seven Ninja Swordsmen!? I'm really looking forward to it..."

"Are those the two holders of the Broken Knife Decapitator and the Thunder Knife Thunder Fang? Really?"

Everyone, before the fight started, had already started cheering and looking forward to it.

And Shuiyue said: "Come on!"

Master Lei chuckled lightly and said, "As a swordsman, are you so rough?"

Shuiyue was stunned, and retracted the movement of waving the sword, frowning: "What?"

Lei Ya said: "As a swordsman, the first move is all about probing, how could you use all your strength as soon as you come up!"

"If that's the case, then fine..." Shuiyue was a little impatient with half-belief.

Then, both of them took up the ninja swords in their hands.

Shuiyue unintentionally picked it up with one hand, and sprinted towards Lei Ya, but Lei Ya hooked the corner of his mouth, clenched the two knives with both hands, and struck hard!
"Pfft"!
In the air, thunder and lightning!

The thunder and lightning between the two knives can even be seen with the naked eye, and it slashes away with majestic momentum!
When Shuiyue, who just wanted to test it, found out, it was too late.

"呵呵"!
Thunder flashed across Shuiyue's body, paralyzing his body movements, and knelt down on one knee.

"You bastard!? Isn't it a good test?" Shuiyue gritted her teeth.

But restrained by the thunder attribute, he was already unable to move, but Lei Ya turned around leisurely, and said with a shameless smile: "A kid is a kid, he will never grow up!"

At this time, the audience around cursed: "Damn it, isn't it the Ninja Seven? Why are you so shameless!"

"Yeah, you actually deceived a young man, how can you be worthy of your title?"

Lei Ya squinted his eyes, glaring at those who shouted, and the murderous intent released by one look forced them to lower their voices.

Afterwards, he looked at the referee again and asked, "Referee! Can't tricks be used in this competition?"

"This...Of course." Although the referee was also unhappy with Lei Ya, he didn't dare to break the rules.

Afterwards, the corner of Lei Ya's mouth curled up, and he sprinted forward.

"prick"!
Thunder flashes where the blade passes, and Shuiyue's body slowly liquefies, bound by lightning, and falls to the ground in pain.

"Heh, brat, if it wasn't for the rules that can't kill people, I wouldn't spare your life." Lei Ya said to Shuiyue in a low voice contemptuously.

Everyone booed, and next, a figure fell.

"Huh?" Lei Ya saw the young man in white clothes in front of him.

"Then, since I abide by the rules, I can take the initiative to challenge you, right? The loser goes, and the winner stays."

"Who are you? You? Stand up for someone with a passion for it?" Lei Ya gritted his teeth.

Ning Ci smiled lightly: "No...it was my little brother that you won by cheating just now."
