Chương 115: Blood-Haired Monster

On the shore, the ninjas whispered amongst themselves.

"It seems that Saizo is the weakest of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen."

"If you remove the 'seems like' part, it really is the weakest."

"From now on, will we have to fight every single one of them before they can hide them?"

"Shh, keep your voice down."

"If Cai Zang can't beat them, can't he beat us?"

On the water's surface, the distraught Saizo's eyelids twitched intermittently. He glanced at Yura, then at Mito, and his fox-like, narrowed eyes cleared considerably. He turned and left dejectedly.

At least we can be thankful that they are companions, right?

The five of us standing together are incredibly strong.

Yura looked at Mito, who stood on the lake like a little girl who had received a new toy, constantly examining the twin swords in her hands with curiosity.

"This knife is really shaped like a fish..."

Flounder and halibut are both common fish on the dinner table. Mito has eaten them quite often. They can be put together to make a knife, which has the characteristics of both fish, or they can be separated into two knives.

"So..." Mito broke the knife in his hand into two and said, "One is called flounder and the other is called halibut."

Carrying two swords, Mito ran to Yura's side and said, "I look like someone carrying two frozen fish..." She complained, "The shape of these swords doesn't quite match my swordsmanship..."

What's wrong with the Frozen Fish God of War...?

Jieluo smiled faintly, "Try injecting a little chakra into yourself..."

Mito casually infused chakra into them, and both swords simultaneously glowed. Then, two chakra blades, each four or five meters long, extended out.

Looking at the length of the chakra blade, Yura fell silent for a moment.

Is this what you call a little bit of chakra?

On the shore, the ninjas all took a deep breath as they looked at the exaggeratedly long chakra blade.

Mito raised two swords, blades pointing upwards, his eyes gradually gleaming, and said, "This is interesting. They're even better than my two chakra swords..."

The chakra sword has no other function besides transmitting chakra.

"Are you satisfied?" Jieluo said.

"I am very satisfied." Mito nodded, and injected chakra. Immediately, the blade on the flounder grew wildly, and soon, two chakra blades forty or fifty meters long stood tall and upright in the field like pillars supporting the sky.

Seeing this scene, every single one of them—Bai Lian, the group of Wu Yin—opened their mouths slightly.

no...

"Her chakra..."

"What happened?"

A Kirigakure Jonin's lips twitched, and he whispered, "At least five times, no, ten times, no, twenty times!"

"Don't double it! Who knows what's going on with her chakra? Look at her, is she even breathing? She hasn't even broken a sweat." Another Jonin said, "She's a monster! No! A blood-haired monster!"

The style of nicknames given by Wuyin is quite brutal; they use whatever looks brutal.

"Are all seven ninja swords this powerful?" a ninja murmured.

Soon, everyone started discussing the strengths and weaknesses of the ninja swords, but there wasn't enough information to support their claims.

On the water tower, Huan Yue looked at the enormous twin swords that seemed to reach the sky, then at her own Exploding Blade, and couldn't help but say, "Old man, do you think there's something special about the Exploding Blade's summoning technique?"

Seeing that Gengetsu had finally shown interest in the ninja sword, Byakuren smiled and said calmly, "Don't worry, Gengetsu, I'll tell you."

Saizo looked at his guillotine sword, unable to bear it any longer.

He was tricked by Yura into accepting a seemingly useless ninja sword, and he found it hard to accept.

"Lady Byakuren, what secret does the Executioner's Blade hold?" Saizo looked at Byakuren expectantly, just in case.

Yuki hugged her newly acquired Samehada tightly.

"I will never let go of it, it's mine."

Bai Lian looked at Cai Zang and said, "This sword can regenerate by absorbing blood. In a sense, it is also a living thing. I stole it from a Steel Release ninja. There may be secrets related to Steel Release inside."

Steel Release...

Cai Cang squinted his eyes and gripped the hilt of the knife tightly.

Mito's research was not yet finished when the chakra blade underwent a violent transformation, turning into two enormous hammers.

"Mito, this deformation is a bit too crude," said Yura. Yura had a lot of practical experience with structural deformation.

"How should we change it?" Mito asked.

"You can treat it like a ball of light and swing it out," Jieluo said, which is one of the ways flounder is used.

"Swing it out?" Mito's eyes lit up.

"You're not thinking of swinging it right now, are you?" Jieluo pointed at the ninjas on the shore and said, "They'll cry."

Mito nodded and withdrew her chakra.

The ninjas on the shore all breathed a sigh of relief. They had been worried that the blood-haired monster might get interested and casually slash at them.

Sheathing his twin swords, Mito looked at Yura and smiled, "Let's go together."

"Okay." Yura put away her umbrella and walked side by side with Mito on the water.

Is it a demon princess and a blood-haired monster?

Are they allies?

The numerous Hidden Mist ninja watched this scene intently, pondering its implications.

"Have you figured out how to form the squad?" Yura asked.

"I haven't started thinking about it yet," Mito said frankly.

She had only recently sobered up.

"Didn't you ever oversee training matters within the tribe?" Jieluo asked.

Mito shook his head.

"Then I suggest you find a few experienced veteran ninjas as instructors and let them handle everything," Yura said.

"That's not a good idea..." Mito said, glancing at the awe-inspiring gazes on the shore, "They've given me a rather peculiar nickname."

"As the head instructor of Kirigakure, you must make them witness your brutality firsthand," Jieluo said.

"A person who isn't ruthless can't stand firm."

"You're right." Mito's senses swept over the ninja's face, remembering the one who had given her her new nickname, and she smiled.

"I'm starting to look forward to it. What kind of training will it cover?"

"The Hidden Mist Village has an academy, but it only accepts kids," Yura said.

"Your village will only have formal genin and chunin. They will train each ninja in a specialized skill based on their individual talents, and they will have to learn a little bit of everything. However, since the village has just been established, it will be a bit tough. Many genin from small ninja clans can't even walk on water."

During their conversation, Yura and Mito returned to the water tower.

Byakuren announced loudly, "The Seven Ninja Swordsmen have now selected five members. I hope you will all encourage each other and continue your efforts."

After saying all the polite words.

Bai Lian waved her hand and shouted, "Disperse!"

With a whooshing sound, the ninjas disappeared one after another in a flash.

Byakuren left first, followed by Gengetsu and Saizo. After glancing at Yura and Mito, Yukihime left as well, as she still had many things to settle.

Lucy pulled the cart to Yura's side, and as Yura got into the cart, Mito naturally jumped on as well.

Lucy turned around and looked at the five people sitting in the car.

When dragging Yura alone, it was easy, but now it's getting heavier and heavier, and I can't help but look at Mito, who is the heaviest.

"What's wrong, little imp?" Mito asked.

"Lucy!" Lucy called out, "You're heavy, aren't you, you blood-haired monster?"

Upon hearing this, Mito's eyelids twitched.

I don't know if it's because I was called a monster or because of the weight.

Looking at Yura, Mito smiled and said, "This child, does she always talk like this?"

Jie Luo smiled faintly and said, "Let's go."

7 Lucy turned her head, her face contorted with distress, and flapped her wings. There really couldn't be any more people in this car.

"I hate it so much~"
