Arena central.
Seven Ninja Swords, listed horizontally on Stone Platform.
Thousands of pairs of eyes gathered from delegations from various countries, team leaders from each village, and Konoha patriarchs and clan members from major families.
Tsunade is standing next to Seven Ninja Swords.
She lowered her head and glanced at the weapons of different shapes before speaking.
The sound was wrapped by Chakra and spread clearly throughout the entire Plaza.
"Next, assign Ninja Blade, Minato Namikaze!"
"The disciple is here!"
Minato Namikaze Take a step forward.
Tsunade looked at Minato and nodded slightly.
"Thunder Sword tooth is yours."
Tsunade picked two Thunder Swords in front of Minato.
Minato grasped the handle of the knife, turned around and faced the audience, without any unnecessary words.
His golden hair was blowing slightly in the evening breeze, and he held the knife behind his back, keeping a just right distance.
Someone in the Land of Earth delegation cursed in a low voice, "Flying Thunder God plus Thunder Sword, who is the opponent among the younger generations?"
"Explosive knife·Shibuki--Senju Nawaki."
Tsunade continues to speak.
Nawaki grinned, jumped on the stage and took over the giant blade covered with explosive rune patterns.
He put the knife on his shoulder, weighed it, and gave a thumbs-up sign to Tsunade:
"Thank you, ma'am!"
Someone in the audience laughed out loud, and the atmosphere relaxed for a moment.
But the expressions of delegations from various countries did not relax.
"Big Sword·Samehada--Kushina Uzumaki."
Kushina took the giant knife covered with bandages and barbs.
Samehada struggled in her hand and made a low buzzing sound.
Kushina glanced down at it and patted the blade. "Be good, or I'll seal you."
Samehada is quiet.
"Double sword·Samehada--Hyuga Hiashi."
Hyuga Hiashi walked up and took the two-parted sword with both hands.
He swept his Byakugan over the blade, then closed his hands and merged the two swords into one, holding them firmly in his palm.
The old patriarch of the Hyuga Clan was stroking his beard in the audience and nodded slightly.
"Dull knife·Kabutowari--Might Duy."
Might Duy strode onto the stage and took the hammer-axe combination weapon attached to the chain.
As soon as he took it, he waved it twice, causing a dull wind pressure and causing dust to fly on the table.
After he stopped his hand, he grinned and gave a thumbs up to the audience:
"Youth! This is what it feels like!"
Konoha The laughter started again.
But people from other countries did not smile, but looked stiff.
Might Duy, Taijutsu are madmen, their strength and speed are boundless.
Now combined with a dull knife, who can resist his blow?
"Long knife·Nuibari--Shikaku Nara."
Shikaku Nara lazily Earth Flow came up and took the slender needle-shaped Ninja Blade.
He weighed it, turned his wrist, and the tip of the knife drew an almost invisible line in the air.
"It's quite handy."
"Broken Blade·Beheading--Uchiha Fugaku."
Uchiha Fugaku was the last one to take the stage.
When he held the broken giant blade, Sharingan glowed with a dark red light in the setting sun.
He didn't wave or show it, he held the knife quietly and stood at the far right of the queue.
Seven Swords all have owners.
Tsunade stood in the center of the high platform, the breeze blowing her Hokage Robe hem.
She glanced at the faces from all countries in the audience without pausing:
"This is the next generation of Konoha."
There was silence for a moment.
Then, one by one, delegations from various countries stood up.
Land of Earth, the leader of the team, took the lead in bending down and saluting the audience.
The people behind him bent down.
Land of Lightning The new Raikage was silent for a few seconds and finally lowered his head.
Land of Wind, Land of Water, Land of Iron, Land of Waterfalls, Land of Bears, one after another figures bent down one after another.
No one spoke or raised their head.
Those lowered heads said it all.
A voice sounded from deep within the crowd, hoarse and deep:
"Konoha... there is more than one Tsunade."
The competition was over and everyone dispersed.
Hokage Building.
Tsunade is sitting behind the desk, with his hands folded and his chin propped up.
Seven people stood in a row opposite, holding the Ninja Blade they had just received in their arms, with the excitement of Arena still on their faces.
Tsunade did not exchange greetings, and his eyes fell on Nawaki first.
She stretched out her hand and waved towards Nawaki: "Bring the explosive knife."
Nawaki's smile froze, "Ah?"
"Ah what, bring it."
Nawaki hugged the explosive knife·Shibuki and shrank back, as if he was holding some treasure:
"Sister, you just gave it to me, not even half a day ago-"
"So you haven't covered up the heat yet, so stop your losses in time."
Tsunade said, his tone leaving no room for negotiation.
Nawaki's face fell instantly, he walked forward slowly and put the explosive knife on the table.
When he put it down, he was still stroking the handle of the knife, as if he was about to leave.
Tsunade ignored his expression, picked up the explosive knife, weighed it, and put it on the ground next to the chair:
"This knife is not for you."
"Where is it not suitable?" Nawaki couldn't help but ask.
"The way to use the explosive knife is too wild. You need to build up your strength when starting. If you don't use it well, you can easily injure yourself."
Tsunade glanced at him.
"Your fighting style relies on speed and Flying Thunder God to cut in. Dragging a big knife that needs to be charged will slow down your rhythm."
Nawaki opened his mouth, unable to say anything to refute.
Tsunade stopped looking at him and turned to Minato Namikaze.
Minato met Tsunade's gaze and lowered his head to look at the Thunder Sword teeth on his waist.
Without hesitation, he took the initiative to untie Thunder Sword and put his hands on the table:
"Master, here you go."
Tsunade glanced at him and shook his head slightly.
"Thunder Sword·Ya is an excellent carrier for Lightning Release, but the total length of the double sword is too long, and the offensive and defensive advantages are not obvious."
"Especially for someone like you who takes the Flying Thunder God route, it is a burden."
"I'll go back and have it transformed into two short blades."
"The transmission of Lightning Release and Lightning Release is retained, but the tool handle is shortened and the blade length is controlled within the range of a normal short blade."
Minato's eyes lit up.
Tsunade continued, "After the transformation is completed, you and Nawaki will each have one."
Nawaki's slumped face suddenly lifted up. "Ah?! Is it real or fake?! Sister, are you serious?!"
"Shut up."
Tsunade pressed his hand.
"You two are taking the same route."
"Flying Thunder God cuts in at high speed and fights in close quarters. Every extra weight means more drag."
"But a short-bladed Lightning Release weapon can directly attack while cutting in, without the need for extra unsheathing movements."
She looked at Minato and Nawaki:
"Konoha Flying Thunder God Twin Stars, paired with double Thunder Sword, is your strongest form."
Minato didn't say much. He bent down and bowed solemnly:
"Thank you, Master."
Nawaki nodded vigorously. "Thank you, sister."
Tsunade glanced at the others and waved his hand:
"Okay, let's go back and get used to our swords."
"Starting from tomorrow, I will arrange for someone to guide you one by one on how to use Ninja Blade."
"These knives are yours, use them well."
Several people responded in unison, turned around and walked out of the office.
The office is quiet.
Tsunade looked down at the giant blade covered with explosion patterns and was silent for a while.
She reached out, took out the explosive knife, and put it on the table.
She already has a next owner for this knife.
Konan.
But the current Konan is not worthy of this knife.
Tsunade put the explosive knife into the secret compartment on the wall behind him and locked the secret door.
The matter of Ninja Blade has come to an end for the time being.
She stood up and walked to the window.
"Ninja Blade The matter has come to an end, now it's time to deal with that matter!"
