Chapter 146

On the way back, Fuchuan was still thinking carefully about what the other party said.

I originally thought it was just a simple meeting trip, but I didn’t expect it would go through so many twists and turns.

Fukawa sighed, hoping that Konoha White Fang could calm down a little while he was away.

But there is good news. I received news from Akima Tetsuo that Kimiko's injuries have recovered, but it seems that Kimiko was urgently recalled by Chiyo-sama due to some temporary mission.

"I don't know why." Nishino seemed a little confused. "After drinking tea for the second half, I always felt a little cold on my back."

It's okay if you feel cold. If someone doesn't kill you in public, you are considered well-mannered.
Fuchuan sighed, "Let's avoid walking alone at night from now on."

"Fuchuan." Xiaonan's voice suddenly sounded, and her cheeks were slightly red, as if she was a little embarrassed, "I just drank tea, although it tastes good."

At this moment, Nishino's stomach rumbled at the right time. All three of them laughed.

"What to eat?"

"I just smelled a sweet smell in that direction." Then Xiaonan pointed.

"You're not talking about the Tengu Maru restaurant, are you? The honey dumplings there are famous in the Wind City." Nishino reacted instantly, "But girls will gain weight easily after eating this, right?"

Suddenly, the surrounding air suddenly became cold, and it seemed that waves of murderous intent were emanating from Xiaonan's body.

Fuchuan couldn't help but hold his forehead, "Forget it, you'd better shut up."

The next day, Akima Tetsu sent someone to ask for registration information as promised, and soon got the specific rules of the 'Guardian Ninja Selection'.

When it comes to the 'status' of being a guardian nin, it is more of an honorary title than a position.

Some guardian ninjas, such as the 'Palm Punishment Ninja' known to Fushikawa, have hundreds of outsider masters under their command, and their strength is almost as strong as that of a small country's ninja village. However, some only have three or two outsiders, and their salary can only guarantee that they can stay here. The bustling inner city barely maintains respectability, such as Nishino Kohaku.

It is said that one-third of the guardian ninjas are like Nishino. They have little power and limited power, so they can only try their best to curry favor with those powerful colleagues.

But despite this, becoming a guardian nin is still the dream of the people of the Kingdom of Wind.

For ordinary people, becoming a ninja, let alone becoming the famous "Guardian Ninja", is an opportunity that can change the fate of the entire family.

For those children of ninjutsu families, becoming a guardian nin means that you have become the daimyo's 'own'. It is said that since the founding of Sunagakure Village, the Kazekage has always been the guardian nin under the daimyo.

For example, the second-generation Kazekage Shamon was once one of the three inner ninjas of the previous daimyo. Even now, when they were young, Chiyo Kazama and Renya Sandstorm once served as guardian ninjas by the daimyo's side.

For Fushikawa, becoming a guardian nin and showing his face in front of the daimyo will be immeasurably helpful for him to gradually enter the upper echelon of Sunagakure Village.

Kimiko deliberately emphasized these so-called 'common sense' many times in her previous letters to Fuchuan.

Just in time, someone gave me a pillow if I felt sleepy.

Fuchuan took advantage of the situation and agreed to the proposal of "Trust-bearing" Qi Jiantetsu, and took advantage of the opportunity to sign up for Xiao Nan.

The official selection of guardian ninja will be one day later, but today, all ninjas participating in the selection must report to a fixed location outside the city before sunset.

It has been a week since the Daming Mansion registration, and it stands to reason that it is no longer accepting new applicants. However, this exception is obviously not a difficult problem for the "Faith-bearing Ninja" who is slightly powerful among the 24 foreign ninjas.

But the problem is that the training location, which was not announced until the day before the report, is actually located 40 kilometers outside the city?The Kingdom of Wind is always under the scorching sun and high temperatures, and today is no exception. I want to run twenty kilometers in one day with a high temperature of more than [-] degrees.

"It seems that the selection has actually begun." Fukawa looked at the sun. At this distance, if he used full teleportation, it would only take three or four hours to bring Konan with him, and it would only consume a little chakra.

"In fact, the original purpose of this level is to screen out those applicants who are weak in physical strength, so as not to lose their lives in vain in the subsequent formal selection."

Nishino seemed to recall the scene where he participated in the selection, with a complex expression on his face, "But in fact, this distance is not just about physical exertion."

"The Daming Mansion sets the rules. The selection of contestants begins from the moment they sign up. No matter the reason for life or death, it is not just a vendetta, but also looting and looting. They will not be held accountable!"

"During a long-distance attack, your physical energy is gradually exhausted, and your chakra will also be consumed a lot. If you encounter enemies from the past or other people with evil intentions." Fuchuan thought in a blink of an eye, "I'm afraid the death rate will not be low. "

"My time, nearly a thousand people signed up, but only less than 300 people successfully reached the finish line, and nearly a hundred people died." Nishino said melancholy, "This is still the most peaceful level among all the levels. The later levels will be more cruel, and In the end, only three people were able to get the title of Guardian Ninja after going through multiple rounds of screening!"

"The probability of passing is three thousandths." Fuchuan's eyes darkened, not knowing what he was thinking about.

"The road to ninja is a road stained with blood. Everyone who signs up should know it deep in their hearts!"

"How did you pass this level?"

"Well, just good luck."

"Tell me?"

"After I signed up, I set off one night early."

"Did someone tell you the destination in advance?"

"How impossible?" Nishino smiled sheepishly. "The first level of all previous guardian ninja selections is this. In fact, there are only a few target locations. I guessed a target location at random. I guessed it right."

Fuchuan and Xiaonan.
When the two of them arrived at the starting point together with simple luggage on their backs, they were still shocked by the magnificence of the scene.

Everywhere you look, there are crowds of people.

"Why are there so many people?" Fukawa clearly felt that many of them were not even ninjas, but just ordinary people with stronger bodies. "Can't they all sign up to participate in the selection?"

"They are all really," Nishino chuckled. "However, not all participants aim to become guardian ninja."

"If you perform well in the competition, even if you fail to become a guardian ninja in the end, you are likely to be favored by a guardian ninja and be recruited as an outsider. Even if you are a civilian, every time you pass a level, there will be a direct dial from the Daming Palace. Huge bonuses.”

"Why would the daimyo sponsor such a selection event?"

At this moment, Nishino smiled enigmatically and said, "The 'Selection Competition' held every three years is the daimyo's favorite entertainment activity."

Is it a realistic version of the squid game?
Fuchuan glanced at the stands in the distance. He knew that the Daimyo was not there, but he still couldn't help but feel a sense of aversion to this kind of entertainment of the lives of the people under his command. disgust.

This was still during the war with the Fire Nation.
The war is only a war for the shinobi village, not a war for the daimyo.

Suddenly a whistle sounded, and figures in the distance began to shake.

The nearly a thousand registrants started pushing each other to embark on this desert marathon journey.
