buzz~~~~

As the bell rang, the melee finally came to an end.

Everyone who heard the beep immediately dispersed, staring at each other warily with bloodshot eyes.

From the initial melee to the current position, the battle lasted for nearly an hour. Even without anyone "openly" using ninjutsu, the entire square was still devastated.

After such a brutal battle, there were far fewer ninjas still standing in the entire square than Saki Mai had initially expected, no more than ten in total.

The total number of people lying on the ground and those who quit midway exceeded a hundred.

In addition to the Kirigakure ninja sword, the remaining people standing were Orochimaru, Saki Mai and two completely unfamiliar faces.

The reason why there are so few people who advance is that Kirigakure's ninja swords account for at least [-]% of the reasons.

Obviously, these ninja swordsmen had collected enough colored stones not long after the battle started, but they never quit the battle. Instead, they kept killing wantonly in the crowd. More than three-quarters of the people were Kirigakure ninja swordsmen. Take action to solve it.It seemed that their purpose in the entire battle was not to compete for the Kusanagi Sword, but more like deliberately killing for the sake of killing.

On the viewing platform in the distance.

The Daimyo of the Land of Grass watched this scene from a distance through a telescope on the castle tower, and said thoughtfully to the ministers around him: "Let the ninja swordsmen retreat, their mission has been completed."

The minister on the side nodded, bowed his head respectfully and said: "Yes, sir, I will inform you right away."

Having said that, Konomi walked behind a curtain and delivered the Daimyo's order to a ninja who had been on standby: "Privately tell the ninja swordsmen of Kirigakure that their mission has been completed, and we will pay the commission as agreed." .”

"Hi."

The ninja responded, only to see a small lizard crawl out of his sleeves and then disappear in a flash.

……

In the square, Saki Mai was standing alone in a corner, her blood-stained right hand playing with five stones of different colors.

Although Orochimaru's intervention prevented the Kirigakure ninja sword from attacking her, she still retained her physical strength and chakra during the battle to guard against possible sneak attacks from the opponent.

Those guys are not naive guys like the Konoha Twelve Xiaoqiang. They are all standard ninjas who lick blood with their swords and kill without blinking an eye.

As long as they find the opportunity, they will never care if there is another corpse lying on the ground.

However, Saki Mai was a little concerned about what the Watermelon Mountain puffer ghost said.

As the elite organization of Kirigakure Village in the Land of Water, it is definitely not a coincidence that six of the seven Kirigakure Ninja Swordsmen appear here. It is more like what they said, the other party has a mission.

"What mission are these guys performing? Even if they want to fight for the Kusanagi Sword, Kirigakure Village won't need to mobilize so many troops."

While thinking, Saki Wu's Rinnegan suddenly noticed a chakra in the form of a small lizard-like animal slipping out of a patch of grass.

Um?Ninja beast?

There are many animals in this world that possess chakra and even magical chakra, and these animals usually fall into three categories: ninja beasts, psychic beasts, and immortals.

This lizard's chakra reaction is very low, but it has obviously been trained, and its habits are completely different from ordinary animals. It is not afraid at all. The smell of blood and the figure on the square are obviously a ninja beast.

As soon as it appeared, the lizard sniffed its nose and then headed straight for the Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Ghost sitting on the pile of corpses.

"Ok?"

Saki Wu clearly saw the Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Ghost taking a small note from the lizard's back. After opening it and taking a look, he made some kind of nod to the ninja swords around him, and also said meaningfully. He glanced in his direction.

Then, in full view of everyone, these Kirigakure ninja swordsmen just walked away.

This?

Seeing this scene, no matter how stupid she was, she immediately guessed from such an obvious reminder that these ninja swordsmen were definitely not here for the Kusanagi sword.

Their real mission is probably...

"Kill the contestants using the Kusanagi sword selection ceremony?"

Saki Mai looked at the castle tower. Who could do this... besides the ruler of the Grass Country, who else could it be?

But why would he do this?

There is indeed a noble class in the world of Naruto. For example, the five major countries have their own daimyo.

But unlike the social structure of a certain country in her previous life, the aristocracy of this world seemed to be hidden behind the scenes intentionally or unintentionally.

Even if he showed up occasionally, it would be at the major meetings of various shinobi villages to elect Hokage, and he usually didn't have much sense of presence at all.

Even the subsequent ninja world war, which was in full swing, seemed to not affect this class at all, as if it existed completely independently in another dimension.

But today's incident made Saki Wu realize that in the real Naruto world she was in, this group of inactive nobles did not seem to be as harmless as they appeared.

But Saki Mai also noticed that Orochimaru seemed not surprised by this turn of events, and he acted very calmly about the disappearance of the Kirigakure Ninja Sword.

"Could it be that Orochimaru guessed the purpose of these Kirigakure ninja swords from the very beginning?"

Thinking of the other person's meaningful expression before, Saki Mai's thoughts flashed like electricity.

This game seems to be far from as simple as I imagined, and Orochimaru may also be indirectly involved.

His goal may not only be the Kusanagi sword, but also the corpses of ninjas and samurai in this area.

Although most of these are not living bodies, the bodies of those who have reached a certain level of strength will show traces of the secret techniques they learned during their lifetime even if they die.

With Orochimaru's talents and the research equipment provided by Danzo, it might not be difficult to research some weird things.

But this raises a question: why would the other party intervene in the Ninja Sword's actions against him?

Saki thought for a moment and could only give a guess. Probably because of the rarity and specialness of his Uzumaki clan's bloodline, Orochimaru wanted him to be a living material instead of a corpse.

However, there is no evidence to support this idea, and it is unlikely that Saki Mai will collect any so-called evidence.

Life in the Rain Ninja Village made Saki Mai's thinking tend to be suspicious and dark side, intentionally or unintentionally. Even if she was killed, it would be impossible for her to think that Orochimaru was just helping.

Just as Saki was thinking, he saw a man with a big belly and wearing an antique robe walking out of the stands.

There were two people behind him, holding an open exquisite wooden box, and in the box, a sheathed long sword was lying on the yellow silk cloth.

Kusanagi sword? !

The moment Saki Wu's Rinnegan saw the sword, he was attracted to it.

That sword is not the usual wakizashi or similar style used by most ninjas. Its sword body is slender and has a graceful arc. The simple patterns on the scabbard seem to tell the story of what this sword was like before it came into being. What a long wait.

From the moment she saw the sword, Saki Wu was immediately convinced of one thing: this was by no means an ordinary sword...it couldn't even be forged by a human craftsman.

Because the moment her Samsara Eye saw the sword, she sensed an aura from it that was very consistent with the Samsara Eye but completely different from it.
