Konoha: The road to the gods starting from Kannabi Bridge

Chapter 128 News about the selection battle for the Seven Ninja Swordsmen
If the string is tightened for a long time, it will break. Yuzhang feels that his nerves are strong enough and should be able to persist for a long time, but he does not feel the need to challenge his limits on such things. Life is always If it can't all be occupied by practice, wouldn't it turn into a machine that only knows how to practice and fight?
Even if Yuzhang longs to see the inhumane scenery one day in the future,

But the joy of being human,
It cannot be thrown away casually.

After talking to the head of the Dashan clan, he realized that everything in the family was developing for the better, and there was no need for him to do anything else, so he simply gave himself a short vacation. In addition to perfecting the This is the first immortal art he has mastered.

The rest of the time was spent either sleeping or walking around the streets and alleys of Kirigakure Village under the guidance of Terumi Mei, a local, and tasting all the specialties of Kirigakure Village.

but,

After relaxing for a while, the restless heart began to beat violently again, ready to move, eager for challenges and excitement!

Then--

"A selection battle for the Seven Ninja Swordsmen?"

Yuzhang turned to look at the girl sitting next to him and asked, "What's going on? This is the first time I've heard of it!"

"Because this matter hasn't been made public yet!"

Terumi Mei smiled.

"...Listen to this name, Mizukage-sama is planning to recruit someone to fill the vacancies of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen?" Yuzhang did not ask the girl how she knew this was not public information, because there was no need to ask. As a young girl, she naturally has access to these news in advance that have not yet been announced to the public.

Although the Huzhi clan is actively developing,
But after all, it’s a new arrival,

It is normal for the message channel to be a little slow.

"Yes."

Terumi Mei nodded, "The Seven Ninja Swordsmen are a super powerful armed force directly under Mizukage-sama. They are responsible for completing many difficult tasks. However, there are only two members, Watermelon Mountain Fugu Oni ​​and Loquat Juzo. It would be me." Mizukage will never let such a team be in such a state of extreme shortage of personnel for a long time."

"If that's the case... shouldn't the Mizukage send someone to ask you if you want to join the Seven Ninja Swordsmen?"

"Yes."

Terumi Mei confirmed Yuzhang's guess, "Not just me, but many people have also received inquiries from Lord Mizukage, such as cousin Yu and cousin Ryusei. They have all been asked by Lord Mizukage. "

Dear cousin,
The full name is Terumi Mei, and he is Terumi Mei's cousin. Among the Terumi clan, he is considered a genius second only to Terumi Mei. If Terumi Mei is really pushed to the throne of Mizukage by the Terumi and Sakumo clans, then Terumi Mei It is very likely that he will be the next leader of the Terumi clan.

Needless to say, Zhuoyun Longsheng,

He is the most outstanding talent among the younger generation of the Yaoyun clan. As long as he does not die on the right path, there is a high probability that the throne of the clan leader of the Yaoyun clan will be handed over to him in the future.

"Then why wasn't I asked?"

Yuzhang couldn't help but murmured.

"Hmm... Mizukage-sama probably thinks that you are not interested in joining the Seven Ninja Swordsmen." Terumi Mei guessed uncertainly.

In fact,
His guess was correct.

In the past few days, Yu Zhang followed Terumi Mei around the streets and alleys of Kirigakure Village. When he passed by the Mizukage Building and Genshi's residence, he paid a visit and made it clear that he was not planning to join any organization for the time being. Served in the department.

It is precisely because of this that Goju Yagura did not send anyone to contact Yuzhang and ask him if he was willing to fight for a Ninja Sword. Although the Seven Ninja Swordsmen did not belong to any department, after all, It is an armed force directly under the control of Mizukage, and it is naturally more restricted than ordinary jounin who have no specific duties.

He thought that Yuzhang was unwilling to be restrained too much.

So I simply didn’t send anyone to disturb Yuzhang.

otherwise,
Even if the information of the Kozhi clan is far less well-informed than that of the Terumi, Saoun and other families, Yuzhang will not say that he has not heard any rumors.

"Yu Zhang, do you want to join the Seven Ninja Swordsmen?" Terumi Mei looked at Yu Zhang and asked suddenly.

"I have a little thought!"

Yuzhang did not deny it.

"...Why would you want to join the Seven Ninja Swordsmen?" Terumi Mei frowned slightly. She was a little confused and a little worried that Yuzhang had not yet understood the true meaning of the Ninja Swordsmen Seven. , then said:

"Yu Zhang, don't be fooled by the name Seven Ninja Swordsmen. The name does sound loud, but as the sharpest sword in Mizukage's hand, it will always be used in the most dangerous tasks. Just like before, we carried out the mission of going deep behind enemy lines to carry out sabotage. As a result, six people died and five died..."

Therefore,
not only her,
Her cousin Teru Meiyu and her cousin Sakumo Ryusei both made it clear that they were not prepared to compete for a certain ninja sword when faced with Mizukage's questioning.

Admittedly,

A powerful ninja sword can indeed enhance the holder's strength to a certain extent.

However, the Terumi clan and the Sakuun clan both have stable blood inheritance limits spread, and geniuses like Terumi Meiyu and Sayaun Ryuusei have naturally awakened the blood inheritance limits. For them, they can concentrate on training their blood inheritance limits. It was enough to push them to a sufficient height, and the Ninja Sword was just the icing on the cake for them.

The icing on the cake is all in a good way.

Say something ugly,

The Ninja Sword might even become a stumbling block. Not everyone has the ability to do two things at once!
The principle of biting off more than you can chew has been proven thousands of times by predecessors.

Therefore,
Terumi Mei and others refused to join the famous team of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen.

"To be honest, I have no interest in things like Ninja Swords."

Yuzhang answered calmly: "What I'm interested in is that the Seven Ninja Swordsmen are always sent to perform difficult tasks. If you join the Seven Ninja Swordsmen... will it mean that there will be more opportunities? Are you exposed to those difficult tasks?"

"...That's for sure."

Terumi Mei was a little stunned. She had a very smart mind and instantly realized what Yuzhang wanted. She answered seriously: "The Seven Ninja Swordsmen are the sharpest swords in the hands of Lord Mizukage, and unlike Anbu, It is on the bright side, and naturally you will need this sword many times to help Master Mizukage achieve some goals."

"Any difficult and high-risk tasks will always fall on the heads of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen immediately. Unless the Seven Ninja Swordsmen are unable to take action, they may be handed over to other candidates... ...But, Yuzhang, even if you want to hone yourself through difficult tasks, to be honest, you don’t necessarily have to join the Seven Ninja Swordsmen..."

"I see."

Yuzhang narrowed his eyes, leaned on the back of the bench, and looked up at the gray, slightly gloomy sky.
"If you sharpen the knife too hard, it may make the blade brittle and break easily... But even if I am willing to be content with the status quo, but if I want to be able to cope with the storms in the future more calmly, I have to rely solely on the present. This ability may not be enough, and besides... Even if there is no dangerous test waiting for all of us, I am not willing to just stop moving forward."
