Naruto Reborn: The Rise of the Tsar

Chapter 269 Blood Testing Conference

In a blink of an eye, it was the third day, and the weather in Sunagakure Village was clear, which was considered a rare good weather.

At this time, the villagers of Sunagakure Village, regardless of age, walked out of their homes and began to gather towards the square in the center of the village.

The central square was newly built in the past two years. Huge stone slabs are laid flat on it. The platform is about one person high from the ground. The surrounding auditorium is in a stepped shape. The entire square is like a simple version of the ancient Roman Colosseum.

It is said that this exotic style of construction was specially built by recruiting craftsmen from the Kingdom of Water.

The annual blood test conference is held in this square.

It is said to be an annual event, but in fact it is only the third one. However, in Shayin Village, which lacks entertainment, the people have no resistance to this kind of public event. The first one was unprecedentedly grand. It is said that in the first one During the last public competition, almost half of the village gathered here.

And every time there is a gathering, Feng Ying and members of the Presbyterian Church will definitely be there to watch. Regardless of anything else, this kind of activity has indeed greatly enhanced the cohesion of the people of Shayin Village.

If the annual event increases public enthusiasm, then the blood-testing conference itself is even more attractive to ninjas.

Although the name of the Blood Appraisal Conference is blood appraisal, it is actually a public competition to select the ten strongest people. Regardless of the blood appraisal results, they will be given the opportunity to freely choose to enter almost any battle sequence.

You can even directly choose to enter the ANBU. Only the 'Sandstorm Guards' who are responsible for personally protecting Kazekage's safety are not included in this sequence.

If the blood test results show that they have the blood of the Sandstorm clan or are directly from the Sandstorm clan, they will be trained intensively, and they may not have the chance to be appreciated by Feng Ying and become a member of the legendary 'Sandstorm Guards'.

There are more than thousands of Sandstorm tribesmen in Shayin Village. The opportunity to receive key training from ANBU or other combat troops is undoubtedly very attractive to those at the bottom of the Sandstorm tribe.

It is said that the competition is about identifying bloodlines at the same time, but in fact it is also a way to give civilians a way to rise. If not, under the existing "identity based on bloodline" mechanism, civilian ninjas will almost never get ahead.

Over time, as the family's power grows, it will inevitably gradually decline and become rigid.

It's not that Sandstorm Lianshi didn't understand the disadvantages of the big family holding the village's political power for a long time, but after becoming the Kazekage, he had to rely on the big family to maintain his rule, and this blood test tournament was a way to appease the lower-class civilian ninjas.

Although positions are always decided by buttocks, qualified politicians are always good at compromise.

Today is the opening day of the Blood Testing Conference. The registration entrance is set up at the edge of the square. This place has been flooded by the surging crowd since the morning.

After all, there is a limit to the number of applicants for each conference, and they will be filled first.

Ma Ji stood not far from the registration office and sighed, helplessly saying to his tightly wrapped companion beside him, "Do you have to show up at this time?"

Xie Xie tightened the mask on his head slightly, expecting to feel a little excited, "The only good thing Shabao Lianshi did when he took office was the blood test conference. Those who signed up are all good puppet materials!"

"Don't mess around." Ma Ji's expression changed, and he looked around in a subtle way, "There are many ANBU ninjas around here, and all the masters in the village are not far away. If you want to die, don't involve me!"

"Haha. A good puppet master will always choose the best time to take action. Now that grandma and the others have returned, I won't mess around."

Ma Ji had a look of suspicion on his face. In the past few years, Scorpion's behavior has become increasingly weird and exaggerated. He even attacked and killed Sandstorm Ninjas in the street, and afterwards took off his disguise and wandered around like nothing happened.

As his strength grows, he becomes more and more forward-thinking and strives to eliminate all risks before taking action. According to common sense, it is almost impossible for the two to become friends, just like the swords facing each other when they first met, but fate is so magical, and now the fate of the two has been inseparable.

Oh, by the way, there is another person. But I haven’t seen that guy for many years. I don’t know how she is doing. Logically speaking, she is the one who likes to join in the fun the most.

Nobuko has been busy from early in the morning to almost noon. Originally, as the assignee of the task hall, she did not need to participate in the registration work here.

However, there seems to be a guy called the "Desperate Puppet Master" recently, which has caused serious losses to the secret force members. With a shortage of manpower, people from various departments have to be dispatched to help.

And I am responsible for the simplest task of registering the registration information.

Suddenly, Nobuko spotted a familiar figure in the team.

"Rika!" Nobuko waved her hand high. Rika was stunned when she saw this, smiled slightly, and then waved in response, but she did not step forward to jump in line.

Less than ten minutes later, Rika was already in line in front of Nobuko.

"I'm really happy to see you." Nobuko sighed with emotion, "You were unwilling to attend the previous conferences, but now you finally figured it out?"

"I came here with a friend to sign up this time." Lixiang apologized and reached out randomly. A girl who looked about the same age was pulled closer. She had short light yellow hair and a hearty smile.

Looking at the other party's confident smile and bright eyes, Nobuko was not only stunned, but then smiled and said to Rika, "Seeing that you are alone every day, I thought you didn't have many friends."

After saying that, he turned around and said, "Since you are Rika's friend, you are also my friend. My name is Nobuko. I usually work in the mission hall. Please give me your advice!"

"My name is Jia Luo," the short-haired girl also said kindly, "Please give me some advice. I heard Li Xiang talk about you, and we will be friends from now on."

After a while, Nobuko put down his pen and asked curiously, "The registration has been completed. However, I have never seen you go to the mission hall to receive a mission. Do you have any duties on weekdays?"

"Well." Jia Luo kept looking around, as if he was very curious about everything around him. "I have been in the army for the past few years. It has been a long time since I came back. The village has changed so much!"

Nobuko showed a genuine expression, "In that case, I see there aren't many people behind, so why don't we go shopping together after we're done? There's been a lot more food and fun in the village in the past two years. Where can I introduce it to you?"

"That's really great."

"Hey, Lixiang, don't you sign up?" Jia Luo suddenly asked.

"She is like this every year." Nobuko also felt helpless. "At first I tried to persuade her to come, but unfortunately I couldn't persuade her. Maybe she had some persistence of her own!"

After saying that, he looked at Lixiang who was stunned at the side.
