"By the way, Mr. Shinjiro, although I don't have any bounty missions here, there is something that may be of great interest to you."
Heijiang spoke at this time, interrupting Shinjiro's meditation.
Under Shinjiro's surprised gaze, he took out a brand new colorful leaflet and placed it in front of him.
Shinjiro Taking a closer look, a line of bold and enlarged fonts clearly caught the eye - Ninja World's First Samurai Tournament.
"Samurai Tournament... What is this?"
Shinjiro looked at Heijiang with a blank expression.
"Land of Night seems to be interested in organizing a martial arts competition for Samurais. There is no limit to identity, age and gender. You only need to pay a registration fee of one hundred taels, and you can go to Land of Night to sign up. The champion can get the title of 'Ninja World's No. 1 Swordsman'."
Heijiang put down the wiped glass and looked at Shinjiro:
"Not only that, the champion can also receive 50 million taels in cash, and a Chakra Blade customized with high-quality materials for free from Land of Night."
After Heijiang explained, Shinjiro roughly understood the meaning. He glanced at the flyer again and his eyes subconsciously changed.
Ninja World He doesn't care about being the number one swordsman or something, but the bonus of fifty million taels is really generous.
In particular, you can also get a Chakra Blade made of high-quality materials for free, which is more attractive than 50 million taels for Samurai people who value ability.
This level of Chakra Blade is often priceless and cannot be easily measured by money.
After all, unlike the Ninjutsu, which ninjas master all kinds of strange things, the best way for Samurai to gain significant strength improvement in a short period of time is to change to a better sword.
"How about it, are you interested in participating, Mr. Shinjiro? With your ability, even though you can't win the championship, there should still be some hope for you to be among the top ten."
Heijiang smiled and spoke.
According to the rules of the competition, the final top ten will receive a generous bonus.
As for the registration fee of one hundred taels, no matter how desperate Samurais are, they won't be unable to get even this little money.
"You can consider it."
As he said this, Shinjiro's heart was already moving.
The bonus of 50 million taels, as well as the high-quality Chakra Blade that can be customized for free, every reward deeply attracted him.
He took a look at the time for the competition, and it was set in mid-December of this year, and he still had five or six months to prepare.
"Speaking of which, it probably only took a few days for this kind of leaflet to appear. It covered such a remote place so quickly..."
Shinjiro is a little surprised by the magnitude of Land of Night's efforts. The place he is now is far away from Land of Night's radiation area. According to common sense, it should not be covered so quickly.
Heijiang shrugged his shoulders.
"This is not something employees of my level can know. Maybe it's because General Land of Night is one of the major shareholders behind Black Market today. You know, General Puppeteer is a legendary existence among Black Market."
Shinjiro nodded in understanding.
It only took two years since he left Land of Fire and joined Black Market to become a bounty hunter.
These two years were enough for him to have a thorough understanding of the bounty hunter group.
Especially those bounty hunters who are known as legendary level, each of them is Black Market's well-known figure, inspiring one novice after another.
General of the Land of Night is one of the legendary bounty hunters, and Black Market is also the most successful and inspirational bounty hunter in history.
From a little-known mercenary, he became the monarch of a country, married the daughters of the wealthy Hyuga, Uzumaki and Uchiha, and was always a big shot at the Five Kage, Five Great Nations Daimyo level.
Just imagining this kind of life, some bounty hunters feel that their lives are about to reach a climax.
Therefore, although this general has left Black Market long ago, his legend has always been circulated underground Black Market.
Moreover, in terms of penetration into Black Market, Land of Night has more advantages than Five Great Nations. The rumor that General of the Land of Night is one of the major shareholders of Black Market has been widely circulated among Black Market and has been persistent for a long time.
Shinjiro glanced at the calm-looking female bartender Heijiang, and he was very suspicious that Heijiang was an intelligence officer assigned by Land of Night to Black Market.
And there may be more intelligence officers placed in Black Market and Land of Night.

General's Residence, underground space layer.
The deep and silent space was followed by the arrival of a burst of footsteps, breaking the silence in the air.
A huge steel brain placed in a hemispherical glass cover, Gululu is blowing bubbles in Solution, seeming to be making cheerful sounds to express its joyful mood of welcoming visitors.
"Oh~~Father, the creator who gave me wisdom and soul, welcome you to come again."
The dull and somewhat weird tone spread in the air through the steel barriers and glass walls, and rang clearly in Yayoi's ears.
The source of the sound release is the giant steel brain in front of Yayoi.
"Are you able to speak smoothly now?"
Yayoi came to the glass wall and stood there, staring at the steel structure inside.
After nearly a year of his transformation of Yin-Yang Release, this steel creation has initially gained wisdom and consciousness.
A week ago, he was just stammering, but now he can speak so fluently. The speed of his 'evolution' is a bit beyond Yayoi's imagination.
"Of course. After all, I am your most loyal and obedient child. I can handle everything from household chores to armaments production to battlefield attacks and patrols at the same time."
A happy voice came from Steel Brain Zero, which seemed to be very suppressed. It spoke very fast, full of excitement, and had an extraordinary desire to express itself.
"So, Father, have you thought about my new name? After all, a number like Zero sounds the same as a mass-produced third-rate character. As your child, I hope to have a formal name, just like Irori sisters."
When Zero opened his mouth like this, it was as if a pair of eyes were staring at Yayoi eagerly, full of pleading.
Yayoi did not respond immediately, but was thinking about the extent of Zero's intelligence.
After all, No. 0 is different from Irori. The proportion of its Chakra components is not high, and can even be said to be pitifully small.
It was only because of his further relationship with Yin-Yang Release that it broke through the original limitations.
"Do you want me to choose a name for you?"
Yayoi was very interested in interacting with Zero.
"Of course. I have been thinking about this issue since the birth of consciousness not long ago."
Number Zero spoke firmly.
As a new life, its 'name' is proof of its birth and is by no means dispensable.
Yayoi nodded, feeling the determination of No. 0, and quickly thought of a new name that was very suitable for No. 0.
"In that case, Naraku... what do you think of this name?"
"Naraku... Well, as the guardian of the underground, I will never stop weaving nests for hunting intruders. This name suits me very well - from today on, I am 'Naraku'."
No. 0 - Naraku's tone is very cheerful. It can be seen that it is extremely satisfied with this new name and accepts it happily.
"Then, briefly summarize the limits of what you can achieve now. For example, the maximum number of puppets you can control now, and the range of activities you can control, and where are the specific boundaries."
Yayoi knows that the performance of Naraku has stabilized. If it continues to be optimized and improved, its current material may not be able to withstand it.
"The maximum number of puppets to control? Let me think about it... Well, if it is fully supplied, it can control eight thousand units now. In terms of range, with a radius of fifty kilometers centered here, it is a coverage area. If Chakra receivers are installed along the way, the range can be further expanded, up to a hundred kilometers."
Naraku thought for a moment and answered simply.
Yayoi nodded to this. The answer was similar to what he expected, but in terms of control distance, it was a bit beyond his expectation.
In order to achieve the maximum range of control distance, it will be necessary to conceally install Chakra receiving devices at some key positions of Land of Night.
"The next thing you do is to further transform the underground. Here are the drawings."
Yayoi took out a scroll, and a puppet soldier came over, took the scroll, and spread it out calmly.
The eyes under the iron mask lit up with a faint red light, and the contents on the scroll were clearly visible.
Although Naraku has no body, all the puppets here are its extended limbs and eyes, which can be said to be everywhere.
In other words, the underground transformation work no longer requires manual labor, and can be completely left to it to control the puppets for perfection.
"It seems to be a very challenging task. According to my father, it will take me about three months to complete it."
"Then it's up to you, my child."
"As you wish, Father."
In Naraku's respectful words, Yayoi turned and left.
