Naruto Reborn: The Rise of the Tsar

Chapter 227 Graduation Ceremony

The sound of dripping water gradually became clearer, and Xin woke up from his sleep again. He looked blankly at the surrounding slippery stone walls and the dark prison, unable to feel the passage of time.

"Are we going to die here?" He couldn't help but murmured, and then tears flowed down unsatisfactorily.

Squid Maru was leaning dejectedly on the wooden fence nearby, his face lifeless. Ever since Grandpa Rintaro was killed by a ninja of unknown origin, he seemed to have lost his soul.

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps, and Xin and Squidward looked outside the fence at the same time. They saw a young man carrying a huge white bandage walking slowly in the aisle surrounded by several ninjas.

The young man glanced at Xin and Squid Wan, then slowly said, "Just the two of them."

So the two ninjas strode forward, opened the cell door, lifted the two of them up and walked out.

When he came to his senses, Squid Wan and Xin had been carried into a spacious hall.

I saw that the surroundings were filled with swords, guns, swords, halberds, various weapons, and some kunai and other blades. There were faint traces of blood on the ground, which looked slightly scary.

Five or six ninjas stood in a circle around them. The young ninja clapped his hands gently, and saw the door on one side slowly opened, and two people who looked similar in age to Squid Maru and Nobu slowly walked out of the door. .

Xin was from the country of tea and didn't know much about this scene. He just looked at his partner with a little doubt, while Squid Ball's expression changed drastically at this moment.

He had heard some rumors about Kirigakure Village. It was said that when the ninjas of Kirigakure Village graduated from school, they would all go through a 'life-breaking' stage.

The past practice was to put all the graduating students in the same room. After one night, it would take only those who survived to graduate, and nearly half of the people would often be screened out.

The senior management of Kirigakure believes that only through the tempering of blood can a true ninja be truly cultivated.

But until a bad and unusual "ghost incident" occurred among the students of the previous batch, it was said that a certain student single-handedly assassinated all his classmates, especially the children of the big family, who suffered heavy losses.

The severity of the incident was so horrifying that the entire Water Country was in an uproar, and even many civilians had heard about it.

After this incident, Mizukage finally overcame the objections of the Elder Council and began to reform certain aspects of the Ninja School in the Land of Water.

Although today's 'Posheng' still needs to see blood, the level of bloodiness has been greatly reduced compared to the past.

Two prisoners who are similar to graduated ninjas in all aspects are often selected from the death row prisoners. The newly graduated ninjas can obtain graduation qualifications as long as they kill the death row prisoners.

When the children of a large family are promoted, they often deliberately select some old, weak, sick and disabled prisoners with weak combat capabilities to 'break their lives'.

When the two ninjas stepped forward to untie the ropes from Shin and Squid Maru, and impatiently stuffed a kunai into their hands, no matter how slow they were, the two of them guessed the other's purpose.

At this moment, Xin saw two ninjas who were obviously about the same age as him approaching maliciously with bright daggers on the opposite side, and his legs could not stop shaking. However, a pair of hands slowly patted his shoulders, and Nobu glanced sideways slightly, only to see Squid Maru holding a kunai tightly in his other hand, staring at the two ninjas slowly walking towards the opposite side with full of hatred.

As if he felt a little courage from Squid Ball, Xin's body no longer trembled, but he stared at the enemy in front of him with the same firm gaze.

Kisame stood not far away, staring at one of the two prisoners in the field, feeling a little confused as to why this boy looked so familiar.

Although he has been promoted to squad leader, the one who is now in charge of the ANBU is Kito Senba, and the Miguchi Kisame who was previously loyal to the Suikoyama Fugu Demon is extremely difficult to deal with, so he is ostracized, so this boring 'destruction' ritual It fell on him.

I might be the most miserable Samehada owner. No, maybe after a while, after a new person emerges, I might not even be able to keep the Samehada in my hand. It is said that the new member is named Zabuza Momochi. The kid is highly regarded by the senior ANBU officials.

Just when Kisame was thinking wildly, two genin who graduated from the ninja school were already fighting the prisoners with kunai in hand.

After a few clicks, Squid Maru looked at the kunai in his hand in disbelief. He actually blocked several attempted attacks by the opponent!

As everyone knows, Fushikawa once publicly taught the art of chakra use while on the ship, and he did not avoid everyone on the ship when doing some basic training.

At this time, Squid Maru always followed the practice secretly by himself. Although it was a bit nondescript, it did lay some foundation for the use of chakra.

Although the two Kirigakure genin graduated from the ninja school, they came from a small family and did not receive very good chakra training. They basically just mastered some chakra use. In addition, Squid Wan was a little older and had been engaged in heavy manual labor all year round. In a life-and-death struggle, he had a slight upper hand.

But Nobu on the side was not so lucky. He had a gentle temperament and did not like fighting. He suddenly became in danger under the kunai of the Kirigakure genin. In a matter of seconds, scars were scratched on his body.

This is the kid who was with the 'Death' before!

Kisame finally remembered what this inexplicable feeling of familiarity was about. But why was he locked up here?

Did someone from ANBU raid the caravan? The ‘god of death’ has already left, what’s the benefit of doing this?

After the blades clashed several times, the genin who was fighting Squid Maru felt panicked when he saw how difficult the enemy on the opposite side was. Looking aside, it seemed that the battle was almost over, and he was filled with jealousy.

Damn it, why is his opponent so easy, but the guy opposite me is so difficult to deal with!

With a thought in his mind, he suddenly rushed to Xin's side and stabbed him in the neck with a knife.

As long as he kills this guy first, he will be successful in 'breaking his life', the genin thought to himself.

Xin's body was already riddled with scars, and the large amount of blood loss made him somewhat dizzy. He was completely unable to react to another enemy's sneak attack.

Just when the ninjas around thought that the first kill was about to happen, there was a pop, and the eyes of the Kirigakure genin who made a sneak attack widened suddenly. They saw Squid Maru rushing in front of Nobu at an extremely fast speed, using his arms to Blocking the fatal blow, he stabbed the kunai hard into the chest of the enemy genin.

Seeing a Kirigakure genin vomiting blood from the corner of his mouth and falling in agony, the surrounding ninjas all looked at Kisame Mikigaki who was presiding over the ceremony.

Kisame, on the other hand, stared intently at the figure who was seriously injured but was killing the enemy to the limit. His eyes were deep and he didn't know what he was thinking.
