Konoha: The road to the gods starting from Kannabi Bridge

Chapter 130 It’s okay for me
Because it would not be open to the public, the news that the selection competition for the Seven Ninja Swordsmen was about to be held was not spread with much fanfare. At first, it was only circulated in the jounin circle, because only jounin was qualified to participate in this Ninja Sword. A selection battle among seven people.

after that,

The news slowly spread from the mouths of the jounin, and gradually many chuunin also knew that it would not be long before a new batch of seven ninja swordsmen would be released.

to this end,

These few days,
Most of the talk in the tavern revolved around the upcoming selection competition for the Seven Ninja Swordsmen. People were speculating on who the new Seven Ninja Swordsmen would be. Every jonin in the village who was somewhat famous was guessed. All over the place, major casinos even offered handicaps for this purpose, attracting gamblers to place their bets one after another.

And Yuzhang’s name is also among them,

And there are quite a few gamblers betting on Yuzhang.

······
"I heard Seinosuke also placed a bet."

Yousuke glanced at the gambling house on the roadside and said, "It is said that he bet all his wealth on you."

"Seinosuke? Since when did he like gambling?"

Yuzhang was a little surprised. He didn't know that Qingzhi had such a hobby of making money.

"It's not just him. To be precise, all the clan members who have some spare money have gone to different gambling houses to place bets. They all bet on Yuzhang that you will become one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen. If it hadn't been discovered by the clan leader, , called everyone over and scolded them severely, and there was no chance that anyone would borrow money to place bets."

"...It should be reprimanded. If this trend is not stopped, big problems will occur. However, why haven't I heard anything about such a big thing?"

"Because the patriarch has repeatedly ordered that no one is allowed to disturb you casually."

"...Oh! That's it! Why are you so comfortable these days?"

Yuzhang suddenly realized.

In my heart, I gave him a thumbs up for the patriarch.

"Let's not talk about this anymore, Right Assistant... I'll ask you again, are you sure you want to participate in the selection battle of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen?" Yuzhang turned his head, looked at his cousin beside him, and asked seriously.

now,

They were heading towards the Mizukage Building.

Because at two o'clock this afternoon, the selection competition for the Seven Ninja Swordsmen will be held at the underground practice ground of the Mizukage Building!

That's right,

Not only Yuzhang is preparing to participate in the selection battle for the seven Ninja Swordsmen, but Yousuke is also preparing to compete for a Ninja Sword.

"Ah."

Hearing Yuzhang's question, the right assistant nodded vigorously.

"Have you really thought about it? If you don't get it, naturally nothing will change. But once you get a ninja sword, you will have to dance on the tip of the sword frequently. One day, if you are careless, or say Just like the previous group of Seven Ninja Swordsmen, they will die if they meet with a tough opponent!!"

"This is what we eat."

The right assistant looked calm, without any fear or anxiety. He met Yuzhang's gaze and said coldly: "And... Yuzhang, we can't just let you go through life and death for the sake of the family. I You are also a member of the family, there is no reason why I should always hide behind you.”

Yuzhang was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say.

indeed,

What the ninjas did was to work hard with their heads in their hands, and what they ate was a mouthful of blood-stained food.

After two seconds of silence,
He was the one who said: "...There is no need to compare with me."

around his waist,
The Eye of God was swaying as he moved around. "This is not a competition, I just hope that I can contribute to the family like Yuzhang. I know that joining the Seven Ninja Swordsmen will encounter many dangers, but Yuzhang, don't forget, I am also a Jonin. Although I am not as powerful as you, I am still a genius!"

The right assistant, nicknamed "Cold Man", rarely showed a hint of pride on his face.

"...That's right!"

Yuzhang shook his head and exhaled softly, "I'm a little too worried."

When I was in Iwagakure Village,
Usuke was a Jonin who was promoted at about the same time as him, but Usuke is one year younger than him... Usuke's talent is better than his, being born with both earth and wind. The properties of chakra and the magic flute technique inherited from the family have also come into play. It can be said that the Ninja Phantasm has no shortcomings.

That is, the appearance of the Eye of God,
Giving Yuzhang the power to change his own destiny.

otherwise,
I'm afraid he won't even be able to defeat your right assistant.

"Well... Yousuke, which one of those ninja swords do you like?"

Yuzhang asked, changing the topic.

It's said to be a selection battle for the Seven Ninja Swordsmen.
However, in the last batch of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, the Watermelon Mountain Fugu Oni ​​and the Loquat Juzo are still alive, which means that the Great Sword, Samegagi, and Broken Sword, and the Decapitating Sword cannot compete. There are only the remaining five Ninja Swords. ——Thunder Knife·Fang, Explosive Knife·Float, Long Knife·Needle, Double Knife·Fang, and Blunt Knife·Pocket Cut are available for selection and competition!

"When I was on the ship before, I saw that guy Gui Deng Man Yue playing with a few ownerless ninja swords. It was obvious that he would choose the double swords and the two swords. I think no one can snatch them away except you, Yuzhang. Even better than him, that guy is a child prodigy loved by the Ninja Sword after all."

"As for Thunder Sword and Fang, it must be a ninja who is good at thunder escape. I don't know anything about thunder escape, so naturally I have to rule it out."

Your assistant was doing the elimination method in a clear and logical manner. It was obvious that he had carefully considered it and was definitely not making an impulsive decision.
"Among the remaining Explosive Knives, Spray, Long Knife, Stitches, and Blunt Knives, I prefer the first two knives. Explosive Knives and Spray are very lethal and can increase my attack power. , and long knives and needles can be used to lay traps...blunt knives and pocket cuts feel too bulky and do not suit my fighting habits."

"However, this is just my current thinking. Which knife to choose? I will wait until I see it on site."

Yuzhang nodded and said nothing.

Because of Yousuke's analysis, he couldn't find anything wrong with it.

"Don't just ask me! Yuzhang, which one of these swords do you like? Do you want to compete with that guy from Ghost Deng Man Yue for the Double Swords? The power of that Ninja Sword is better than that of these Ninja Swords. The most powerful among swordsmen." Yousuke stared at Yuzhang and asked curiously.

"I am also not certain."

Yuzhang shook his head and said calmly: "For me, any Ninja Sword will do. Rather than working on these swords, I am more willing to hone my own strength. The reason why I want to join the Seven Ninja Swordsmen is Just to have more opportunities to hone myself!”

Yousuke was speechless for a moment.

co-authored,

The ninja sword that others have to fight for with all their strength is just a dispensable decoration in your eyes?
These words,

It’s really a bit pretentious!

"...Yuzhang, if I hadn't been able to beat you and said this to you, I would have wanted to punch you." After a moment of silence, Right Assistant said in a calm tone.

"Want to beat me up?"

Yuzhang glanced sideways at the hall and said with a smile: "Go ahead! I will beat you half to death at most. We are cousins, so we can't really be cruel to you!"

"Does being beaten half to death count as preferential treatment now?"

"That's not right!!"

said,

The two brothers had already arrived at the door of the Mizukage Building. Before they could ask, someone immediately came up and asked them if they were coming to participate in the selection battle for the Seven Ninja Swordsmen. After checking their information, they led They headed to the practice field on the first floor.
