The next day, the Dance of Swords began to unfold in response to the first prize of the New Year's Eve.

Because it is said that the Sword Dance Conference is held every 8 years, in fact, it will be held every year, and it is only once every 8 years that a call to the whole ninja world will be held.

Whether it is a samurai, a swordsman, a ninja or an ordinary person, everyone can come and participate in this sword dance.

The predecessor of the real conference was "Dance of Blades", so it was not necessarily a sword. As long as it was any weapon with a blade, it could participate in the competition. Even weapons such as shuriken and Kunai could be used for the competition.

But there is a rule that chakra cannot be used.

Because in the Iron Country, all buildings are made of special materials, as long as they use Chakra to transform in the body, they will be discovered and disqualified immediately.

Of course, it is possible to use Chakra normally to hold a sword, or move, and improve one's own abilities.

It's just that chakra cannot be used in ninjutsu, taijutsu, illusion, etc., and the use of all chakras with attributes is also prohibited.

This is definitely a limitation for ninjas.

"But every time, there are still countless ninjas who come to participate. Even my puppet skills and Temari fans will improve a lot of fighting experience in such competitions."

"...Why are you here?" Neji frowned slightly, looking at Kankuro who was chatting in front of him.

Kankuro scratched the back of his head and said, "No way, in order to improve the country's national strength, the Kingdom of Sand really tried every means to improve the strength of us ninjas, and Temari and I also managed to get the quota."

And when everyone looked around, there were huge crowds.

The venue below is a square-shaped venue like a swordsman dojo.

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

The spectators who were across the venue could not even hear the conversation of the audience on the opposite side.

"It's amazing, I didn't expect that there are so many cultures in the Iron Country, and it's passed down year after year..." Ino said with emotion.

At the New Year's Eve last night, she and Tian Tian had already experienced enough influence of the local culture, and she simply hated herself for not being born in the country of iron.

"So, until today, has anyone been able to defeat Mifune and take away the prize?" Neji asked.

"No, it's impossible."

Neji didn't expect that even Kankuro was so desperate.

"Impossible, ninjas or others can't defeat Mifune, who combines the two professions of swordsman and samurai."

"Two?" Tian Tian also came over to listen.

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

"Yes, two kinds. Swordsman is a profession with a high threshold. It doesn't mean that you are a swordsman as long as you can wield a sword. Rumor has it that until 20 years ago, when the profession of swordsman was still popular, the threshold was at least defeated. One hundred official swordsmen. That is to say, one must defeat one hundred official swordsmen in a row to be called a swordsman. And the record set by the three ships at that time, no one has been able to break it...”

"How many?"

"One thousand and ninety-eight."

"..."

There was silence all around.

That number alone is terrifying.

"Unbelievable, are there so many swordsmen in this world?" Tian Tian bit his fingers and pouted.

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

"Samurai are good at using swords and are the most popular group for the people. Because they not only have to practice how to use the sword skillfully, but also have very strict rules. Once they make mistakes or make mistakes, they will be severely punished. , and even have the awareness to be ready to commit suicide at any time. The road of samurai has allowed Mifune to have certain attainments in ***, and most importantly, honed his character..."

Neji felt more empathy. He felt the chill in his body. The so-called mind cultivation was really a very important thing.

Those evil spirits cannot be suppressed by Chakra alone. They may be dragged into the abyss if they are not careful, and they will never end...

"The next game, Black Hoe Leiya vs Ghost Lantern Shuiyue!"

A samurai with a ball-shaped head, announced to the crowd.

Then, both sides entered.

The scene was full of people, and everyone shouted and applauded.

Neji narrowed his eyes, ready to see the strength of this so-called first-generation ninja swordsman.

"Then... let's start!"

Shuiyue and Lei Ya slowly moved forward.

I saw Shuiyue waving the beheading sword in her hand, stunning everyone.

Lei Ya, on the other hand, clamped the two knives in his hands on his shoulders, making a thunderous sound of "zizi".

"Oh! These two people are holding one of the seven ninja swords of Kiriyin!"

"What? Is this a battle between the seven ninja swordsmen!? I'm really looking forward to it..."

"Is that the two holders of Broken Sword, Beheading Sword and Thunder Sword, Thunder Ya? Really?"

Everyone, before the fight started, had already started cheering and looking forward to it.

And Shuiyue said: "Come on!"

Lord Lei chuckled and said, "As a swordsman, are you so rude?"

Shuiyue was stunned for a moment, then withdrew the action of wielding the big knife, frowning: "What?"

Lei Ya said: "As a swordsman, the first move is all temptation, how can you do your best when you come up like this!"

"If that's the case, then fine..." Shui Yue was dubious and a little impatient.

And then, both of them picked up the ninja swords in their hands.

Shuiyue unintentionally held it with one hand and sprinted towards Lei Ya, but Lei Ya hooked the corner of his mouth, clenched the two knives in both hands, and struck hard!

"Pfft"!

In the air, lightning and thunder!

The lightning between the two knives can even be seen with the naked eye.

When Shuiyue, who just wanted to test it, found it, it was too late.

"呲呲"!

Lightning swept through Shuiyue's body, paralyzing his body movements, and knelt down on one knee.

"You guy!? Isn't it a good test?" Shuiyue gritted her teeth.

But he was restrained by the thunder attribute and it was difficult to move, but Lei Ya turned around leisurely and smiled shamelessly: "Little devil is a little devil, never grow up!"

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

"Yeah, to deceive a teenager, how can you be worthy of your title?"

However, Lei Ya narrowed his eyes and glared at those who were shouting. With one look, the killing intent made them have to lower their voices.

Afterwards, he looked at the referee again and asked, "Referee! Can't this match be calculated?"

"This...of course it can." Although the referee was also unhappy with Lei Ya, he did not dare to break the rules.

Afterwards, Lei Ya's mouth twitched and he sprinted forward.

"prick"!

Thunder flashed wherever the blade passed, and Shuiyue's body slowly liquefied, bound by lightning, and fell to the ground in pain.

"Heh, stinky boy, if it wasn't for the rules not to kill people, I wouldn't let you die." Lei Ya said to Shuiyue in a low voice with contempt.

There was a "hush" sound from everyone, and the next one fell.

"Huh?" Lei Ya saw the handsome young man in white.

"Then, since I abide by the rules, I can take the initiative to challenge you, right? The loser goes, and the winner stays."

"Who are you? You stand out for others with a passion?" Lei Ya gritted his teeth.

Neji chuckled lightly: "No... the one you cheated and won just now was my little brother."
