The change in this Sannin was not unexpected by Saki Mai.

Due to the negligence of the Sandaime Hokage's arrangements, he left his proud disciple beside Danzo.

During this period, Orochimaru was in a critical period of transition from ninjutsu to "science".

Danzo Shimura and Orochimaru... to some extent, both of them were influenced by the second-generation Hokage Senju Tobirama, but Danzo was interested in Senju Tobirama's political skills, and although Orochimaru He was not a disciple of the Nidaime Hokage, but he chose to be a scientific madman in his choice of path, and developed and created many ninjutsu.

Both of their actions paved the way for future changes in the village.

"It's so unbearable!"

Thinking of the epic weakening that the now prosperous Konoha Village will face in the near future, Saki Mai couldn't help but sigh in a low voice.

But who is going to take the blame for this incident?This is a matter of benevolence and wisdom.

After gathering her thoughts, she saw that Orochimaru had no intention of coming up to greet her, and Saki Mai didn't want to ask for trouble.

On the side, Nobuhide stared at the surrounding ninjas warily and said to Saki Mai: "I'm going to report to the daimyo. Before that, please don't use force here, Miss Saki Mai."

Saki Wu nodded: "I understand."

After a few more polite words, Nobuhide turned and left.

Saki looked around and chose a less conspicuous position to stand aside.

But before she could stand still, several unfamiliar ninja faces soon came over. The caregivers seemed to be ninjas from Taki Ninja Village.

When the other party was three meters away from her, Saki Wu's slightly warning voice sounded: "Is something wrong?"

One of the ninjas from Taki Ninja Village immediately indicated that he was not hostile and said, "Please don't get me wrong. I just want to discuss with the lady whether I am interested in forming a temporary team in the elimination competition."

"Sorry, my fighting style is only suitable for acting alone."

Saki Mai directly refused this invitation. From the moment she stepped here, she had no intention of forming an alliance with anyone or joining some temporary organization that was obviously a team.

There is only one sword.

That means that everyone here except yourself is an enemy, and any temporary friendship or bond will definitely face betrayal in the end.What's more, these guys are only around the level of chuunin at best. They don't play a role here at all. If they act together, they will only get in the way.

"Really? That's such a shame. I hope we won't encounter him in the next duel."

After saying that, the leader, Taki Ninja, didn't bother too much and left with a few of his subordinates.

Then, there was the invitation from the second wave of ninja team... and Saki Mai's answer was the same.

After rejecting several invitations in succession, some of the ninjas around her looked at her with a hint of "I don't know how high the sky is".

In the eyes of these veteran ninjas: Although there is a lot of risk in choosing a team to join in such an unknown environment, at least it can gain certain convenience in the initial intelligence sharing. When the actual battle comes, you can also have more information. Several shields (of course, lack of strength may also become a shield for others).

And even if you refuse, you shouldn't refuse so openly. This will only expose yourself to be alone and make you the first target in the next battle.How strong can a young girl really be, even if she is a genius at this age?What's more, the ninjas who can be here are not weak.Such a maverick guy is, at best, just a newcomer who has just joined the ninja world and doesn't even understand the situation.

This is how most ninjas judged Saki.

But only a few ninjas looked at this scene with a rather amused attitude.

……

Just as the setting sun was setting, a figure appeared from the high platform.

The other party was a subordinate of a noble daimyo. Saki Mai didn't bother to remember the specific official position. It wasn't that important anyway.

Under the gaze of many ninjas, this man was obviously not in the mood to make a long speech. He grabbed a handful of stones of different colors from a box held by an attendant beside him, and then scattered them towards the square below.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa...

With the sound of stones falling to the ground, the official also announced the rules of the first round.

"Listen up, ninjas and swordsmen, please pick up a stone from the ground, no more, no less -"

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere of the entire square suddenly changed, and the originally tense square became audibly quiet in an instant.

Although Saki Mai seemed indifferent on the surface, her mind was already spinning: "Is it interesting...to adopt this elimination rule?"

The ninjas and a few samurai present were obviously aware of what was going to happen next. They all looked at me and me, but no one took the lead for a while.

At this moment, a sinister voice came: "Really, they are all just slow-moving guys. It seems like we should go first."

"It's really disappointing. It seems there is nothing worth killing here today."

As these two arrogant voices sounded, the eyes of many ninjas were blurred, and they saw the famous Kirigakure ninja swords appear in the center of the square where the colorful stones were scattered.

The team composed of these ninja swordsmen can be said to be the strongest group on the field. No one dares to compete with these guys.

But they didn't break the rules, they just picked up a stone and left.

After Kirigakure Ninja picked up the stone, Orochimaru walked out, looked at the stone at his feet and said jokingly: "It seems that the next game will be interesting, haha."

After he finished speaking, he saw one of his feet lightly knocking the ground, and a colored stone bounced from his feet. He then pinched it neatly and finally walked aside as if there was no one around.

Seeing an unknown ninja taking the lead, other ninjas and swordsmen who were impressed by the power of the ninja sword also stepped forward to take away the stones from the ground, and Saki Mai also mixed in and picked up one slowly.

After a while, all the stones on the ground were picked up.

The number of colored stones was obviously calculated, and the number sprinkled was exactly equal to the number of ninjas present.

After seeing the stones being picked up, the officials above continued and finally announced the rules.

"The rules are very simple. You can only use swordsmanship and physical skills. Please collect five stones before sunset..."

After speaking, the official walked to a bronze bell and raised a small bronze hammer to strike the bell.

Amidst the buzzing of the brass bells, he announced: "Now, the battle officially begins!"
