The next day, the dance of the sword begins with the first prize of the New Year's festival.

Because it is said that the Sword Dance Tournament is held once every 8 years, in fact, it is held every year, but only once every 8 years is held to summon the entire ninja world.

Samurai, swordsman, ninja and ordinary people can all come and participate in this Sword Dance.

The real event was called "Dance of the Blades", so it didn't have to be a sword, as long as it was any weapon with a blade, you could participate in the competition, even if it was a shuriken and kunai.

But there is a rule that chakra cannot be used.

Because in the Land of Iron, all buildings are made of special materials, and as long as chakra is used to transform in the body, it will be discovered and immediately disqualified.

Of course, it is okay to use chakra normally to hold a sword, or to move and improve your ability.

It's just that chakra can't be used as a reference to ninjutsu, body arts, illusions, etc., and it's forbidden to use all chakras with attributes.

This is undoubtedly a restriction for ninjas.

"But every time, there are still countless ninjas who come to participate, even if it is my puppet skills or Temari's fan, I will improve a lot of combat experience in such a competition."

“…… Why are you there? Ning Ci frowned slightly, looking at Kanjiu Lang who was talking eloquently in front of him.

Kankuro scratched the back of his head and said, "No way, in order to improve the national strength, the country of sand is really trying its best to improve the strength of us ninjas, and Temari and I are also the places that we finally get." ”

And everyone looked around, and there was a sea of people.

The venue below is a square swordsman's dojo-like venue.

It is very spacious, and the sides of the square field are 30 meters wide.

The audience who was doing it across the venue couldn't even hear the conversation of the audience on the other side.

"It's amazing, I didn't expect that the Iron Country also has so many cultures, and it's been passed down year after year......" Ino sighed.

At last night's New Year's Festival, she and Tian Tian had already felt enough of the influence of local culture, and they simply hated that they were not born in the land of iron.

"So, as of today, will anyone be able to defeat Mifune and take the prize?" Ning Ci asked.

"No, it can't be."

Ning Ci didn't expect that even Kanjiuro would be so desperate.

"It's impossible, a ninja or anyone else can't defeat Mifune, who combines the two professions of swordsman and samurai."

"Two?" I also come over every day to listen.

There were also a few strangers around who came over to listen, and everyone was very interested in the rumors of Mifune.

"That's right, two. Swordsman is a profession with a high threshold, not as long as you can dance a sword and play a sword, it is rumored that until twenty years ago, when the swordsman profession was still popular, the threshold was to defeat at least a hundred official swordsmen. In other words, one must defeat a hundred official swordsmen in a row to be called a swordsman. And the record set by Mifune at that time, no one has been able to break the ......"

"How much?"

"One thousand and ninety-eight."

“……”

There was silence for a while.

That's a chilling number alone.

"Unbelievable, are there so many swordsmen in this world?" Biting his fingers every day, he pouted.

Kankuro chuckled lightly and said, "So, Mifune when he was young almost defeated the swordsman of the entire ninja world!" The other type is the samurai. Because Mifune's attainments are much more than that. ”

"Samurai are good at using swords, and they are the most favored group of the great people. Because they not only have to practice how to use *** proficiently, but also have very strict rules. If you make a mistake or make a mistake, you will be punished very severely, and you must even have the awareness that you are ready to commit suicide at any time. The path of the samurai has given Mifune a certain degree of attainment in ***, and most importantly, it has honed his mental character......"

Ning Ci can empathize even more, he feels the cold qi in his body, the so-called cultivation of the mind is really a very important thing.

Those evil qi can't be suppressed by chakra alone, and if you're not careful, you will be dragged into the abyss and never recover......

"Next game, Black Hoe Thunder Tooth vs. Ghost Lantern Water Moon!"

A samurai with a ball on his head announced to the crowd.

Subsequently, both sides entered.

At the scene, there was a sea of people, and everyone shouted and cheered.

Ning Ci narrowed his eyes, ready to see the strength of this so-called first-generation ninja sword seven.

"So...... Begin! ”

Suizuki and Thunder Tooth slowly moved forward.

I saw Shui Yue wielding the beheading knife in his hand, which amazed everyone.

Lei Ya, on the other hand, clamped the double knives in his hand on his shoulders, making a thunderous and lightning sound.

"Oh! These two people are holding one of the seven ninja swords of the fog hidden! ”

"What? Is this a battle between the Shinobi Seven!? I'm really looking forward to it......"

"Are those the two wielders of the Broken Knife Decapitation Broadsword and the Thunder Knife Thunder Fang? Are you sure? ”

Everyone, before the start of the fight, had already begun to cheer and look forward to it.

And Shui Yue said: "Come on! ”

Lei Ye chuckled lightly and said, "As a swordsman, are you so rude?" ”

Shui Yue was stunned, retracted the action of wielding the big knife, and frowned: "What? ”

Lei Ya said: "As a swordsman, the first move is all a temptation, how can you rivet your full strength as soon as you come up!" ”

"In that case, then okay......" Shui Yue was a little impatient in disbelief.

And then, both of them wielded the ninja knives in their hands.

Shui Yue unintentionally held it with one hand and sprinted towards Lei Ya, but who knew that Lei Ya hooked the corners of his mouth, clenched his two knives with both hands, and struck hard!

"Poof"!

In the air, lightning and thunder!

The thunder and lightning between the two blades can even be seen with the naked eye, and they are slashed away, and the momentum is magnificent!

When the water moon who just wanted to test it was discovered, it was too late.

"Woo hoo"!

Thunder and lightning swept across Mizuki's body, paralyzing his body movements and kneeling on one knee.

"You guy!? Didn't you say a good temptation? Shui Yue gritted his teeth.

But he was restrained by the thunder attribute and was already unable to move, but Lei Ya turned around leisurely and said with a shameless smile: "A little ghost is a little ghost, and it will never grow up!" ”

At this time, the surrounding audience cursed one after another: "Damn, isn't it the Seven Ninja Sword?" Why are you so shameless! ”

"Yes, you actually deceived a teenager, how can you be worthy of your title?"

Lei Ya narrowed his eyes and glared at those who shouted, and with one look, the killing intent released made them have to lower their voices.

Then, he looked at the referee again and asked, "Referee!" Can't this contest be measured? ”

"This ...... Of course. Although the referee was also unhappy, he didn't dare to break the rules.

Then, the corners of Thunder's mouth hooked, and he sprinted forward.

"Thorn"!

Thunder shone where the blade passed, and Shui Yue's body slowly liquefied, bound by thunder and lightning, and fell to the ground in pain.

"Heh, stinky boy, if it weren't for the rules that can't kill, I wouldn't have spared your life." Lei Ya lowered his voice with disdain to Shui Yuedao.

Everyone "booed", and next, a figure fell.

"Huh?" Lei Ya saw the young man in white in front of him.

"So, if you follow the rules, I can take the initiative to challenge you, right? Those who lose go, and those who win stay. ”

"Who are you, you? Do you stand out for others with a lot of blood? Thunder gritted his teeth.

Ning Ci chuckled: "No...... The one you just won by deception is my little brother. ”
