December 18th is the official opening day of Samurai Tournament.
The white snow is as light as catkins, flying in the air in twos and threes, and the snow is not very heavy.
Since early in the morning, a large number of spectators have been pouring into Martial Arena, including local people from Land of Night and many outsiders.
In addition to these people from all over Ninja World, there are also many high-level officials from various countries who also brought their families to watch this grand event belonging to Samurai.
The same is true for each ninja village. Either the leader comes in person or sends his trusted followers.
Unlike most people who come to watch the excitement, these senior officials from different countries and villages are more like assessing the military strength of Land of Night than the excitement.
By the way, by observing this Samurai Tournament, is it possible to hold such a large-scale public event within the country to increase the prestige of the country and the Ninja Village?
Inside Martial Arena, the dome is open-air, the pillars stand tall, and there is an awning built on the auditorium to block the wind and snow. Only a few snowflakes fly in with the wind, so you don't feel the chill at all, but it brings a somewhat different and novel feeling.
Not only the awning, but also the entire Martial Arena has a large heating device installed underground. When snowflakes fall on the ground, they will soon turn into water and be discharged along the drainage pipe.
However, the awnings are not completely connected. There is a gap in the middle of the awnings in each direction.
A tall white wall stood in the vacant space, and a gray-white curtain was spread out on the wall, which was used to project the Insect Secret Technique picture to the Aburame Clan.
At this moment, in the high-level VIP seats located in the auditorium, senior officials from various countries and ninja villages took their seats one after another, taking their families or entourage to sit down in their own seats.
The last person to arrive was Hashirama, who brought his wife Mito, followed by Senju, Uchiha, Hyuga, Sarutobi, Nara Clan and other ninja Jonin, who were responsible for the escort work.
As soon as Hashirama arrived, everyone subconsciously stood up to show respect.
"Welcome, Your Excellency Hokage."
"Thank you for taking the trouble this time, General."
After Yayoi and Hashirama shook hands with each other, they went to the exclusive area of the VIP area and sat down.
At this time, beside Yayoi, in addition to Kicho and other women, Irori and three others were also present, as well as four Land of Night Jonin who were responsible for passing orders.
In the arms of Kicho, Aoi, and Rinko, they were holding their own children.
Compared with the second son Tadayuki and the third son Hideyuki, who are not very fluent in speech, the eldest son Doichi, who is almost four years old, is as big as a six or seven-year-old child.
Sitting on Kicho's lap, his face was deliberately straight, as serious as a little adult.
It seems that only by doing this can I look mature and not embarrass my parents around me.
He has short black hair, and the normal eye color of his eyes is almost the same as Hyuga Clan, except for a somewhat unusual azure glow in the depths.
This made many people secretly notice that this general's eldest legitimate son probably inherited the Byakugan power of the Hyuga Clan.
Hashirama and Mito looked at Doichi a few more times, and couldn't help but sigh at the vitality of this child, which was even more exaggerated than Uzumaki Clan.
Such a strong vitality means that this child's Chakra capacity will expand to an extremely terrifying level in the future, and he already has the powerful qualifications to become a top ninja.
Hashirama and Mito looked at each other and thought of their children, feeling depressed.
Both of them are considered very powerful ninjas, but what can I say about the child they gave birth to? Although his ability is not low, it has not reached the level they expected.
At least he cannot be the next patriarch of the Senju Clan, nor can he be a candidate for Hokage.
Although Hokage is elected, there is a prerequisite, that is, the strength must reach a certain standard.
If you don't meet the standards, no matter how good you are, you can't become Hokage.
This is the underlying core logic of Ninja Village, and even Hashirama agrees with this very much.
No matter how you use fancy words to describe the existence of ninja, the essence still depends on your strength.
If you are not strong enough and let your child ascend to a high position rashly, that is not a blessing, but a trap for him.
In the VIP area not far from Yayoi and Hashirama, Wu and Hozuki Gengetsu were arranged together.
Beside them, there are also messengers from Sunagakure and Kumogakure, named Shamon and 'Ai' respectively.
They also came over to observe the military power of Land of Night at the request of their own shadow.
As one of the pillars of Land of Night, Samurai was once one of the important forces protecting Daimyo and the nobility of various countries. Even if they are gradually being eliminated by the times, their power should not be completely ignored.
The powerful Samurai is not weaker than the ninja. The previous Warring States Era was also hacked by many ninjas by Samurai.
Especially the number of Land of Night and Samurai seems to be quite large.
The most important point is that Land of Night's military power is extremely difficult to detect.
Because although Land of Night has a large number of ninjas and Samurai group, unlike Ninja Village, they do not rely on the mission system similar to Ninja Village to obtain living supplies.
The absence of mission activities means that their strength will not be revealed, and it is difficult for outsiders to fully understand their strength.
The information about Land of Night's ninja and Samurai is also recognized as the most difficult to obtain by Ninja World.
Of course, this is just the part on the surface. Secretly, the ninjas of Land of Night and Samurai will definitely perform various tasks.
But that kind of task is not hired by outsiders, but is uniformly issued by General's Residence.
Now Land of Night's Samurai Group is finally going to reveal some information. This is why other countries and villages attach so much importance to coming.
"That kid is a little bit unsophisticated."
Gengetsu, who was sitting next to him, glanced at Doichi, who was sitting on Kicho's lap, intentionally or unintentionally.
Although he does not see things as clearly as Hashirama and Mito, his intuition tells him that this child who is several years old and has inherited the power of Byakugan has incredible potential.
"Mustache, you must be jealous. After all, I heard that there seems to be no particularly outstanding successor in the next generation of you Hozuki Clan."
As soon as Gengetsu opened his mouth, he immediately followed him without starting a group, and began to taunt him.
"I'm here with an important mission this time. I'm not as experienced as you, a bandaged man."
Gengetsu, who was stabbed at the pain point, changed the topic directly.
Hozuki Clan's next generation problem really gave him a headache.
There is actually no shortage of Jonin and Hozuki Clan who have good abilities, and there are even a lot of them. However, there is no second top ninja of his level, Hozuki Clan, who shows such potential and even if you want to train him, you can't find a suitable candidate.
After all, top ninjas, whose aptitude will be displayed in childhood, must have some extremely unusual outstanding point that surpasses ordinary ninjas.
Gengetsu did not talk to anyone, nor did he ask for trouble and continued to ridicule.
Refocusing his attention on the conference itself, he is considering holding such a public event at Iwagakure in the future.
Firstly, it can allow the ninjas in the village to show their best, secondly, it can also increase the confidence of the people and improve the cohesion of the village. Thirdly, it can specifically demonstrate the ninja power of Iwagakure to outsiders and obtain more mission rewards.
This kind of thing can be said to accomplish multiple things with one stone.
Shamon and 'Ai' looked at each other and heaved a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, these two people did not fire any shots this time, otherwise they sitting next to them would have been contaminated by this scolding war.
However, when it comes to looking at the next successor of Land of Night, the two of them have similar ideas to Gengetsu.
An excellent successor is equally important to the ninja village or the country.
Land of Night's successors to the next generation of generals no longer have any dead ends and can pass on the legacy well.
'Even if there is a problem with successor, this country seems to have a hidden secret. Will the third one... be the Genjutsu type?'
Shamon looked at the three Irori sitting behind Yayoi, especially Komurasaki, who had not shown any signs before. There was caution in his eyes, secretly guessing what kind of ability this girl had.
Apart from Konoha and Iwagakure, Hidden Sand Village and Land of Night are the ninja village with the closest contacts, and they pay more attention to Land of Night than others.
These three weird beings who are not human are the true 'successors' of Land of Night's long-lasting peace and stability!
