Chapter 260: Konoha's Zanpakuto Rankings!
If the atmosphere of the Cloud and Mist Alliance is a mixture of tension and worry.
Then, the atmosphere of Konoha is a mixture of pride and excitement.
The great defeat of the Hidden Cloud Village gave everyone in Konoha sufficient confidence.
"The Cloud and Mist Alliance can't stop us!"
"The future will enter the era of Konoha!"
Therefore, even if the Hidden Mist Ninja performed well, most people in Konoha could discuss it calmly.
"I didn't expect that the Hidden Mist Village would have another Nakaji."
"He is a very special ninja."
"He moves the Buddhist beads with one hand, like a compassionate Buddha, and holds the dragon scale knife with the other hand. Half of his body has turned into a monster, like a monster walking out of the ground, a demon."
"Fighting with such an opponent would be very uncomfortable."
"After turning into a monster, he no longer has that special feeling."
Nakaji's half-Buddha, half-demon state attracted the attention of many people.
"How can that Hozumi Izumo have two ninja swords?"
"One Zanpakuto and one great sword."
"Uehara Shu went too far this time. He turned the Hokage's summoning beast into a ninja sword."
"This is a naked provocation!"
"After we defeat the Hidden Mist Village, I used to think that we should keep Uehara Shu's life. He is a talent. It would be a pity to kill him, but now it seems that we should just kill him."
"No, no, no, it's a waste to kill him. We should whip him hard and make him work hard for our Konoha to atone for his sins."
The eyes of the people on the opposite side lit up.
"That's right, let him work day and night."
"Zanpakuto Zabuza is also lucky. He got such a powerful Zanpakuto and directly gained strength that surpassed Kakashi. In terms of real strength, he is much worse than Kakashi."
"He looks ordinary on the outside, but I didn't expect that he would be so abnormal when using it."
"The whole person is entangled in blood, which is very weird."
"It's like a blood-sucking monster."
Suddenly, a figure walked out from the second floor.
Everyone's attention was immediately attracted.
"Here it comes!"
"What's coming?"
Some people don't know what's going on.
"Zanpakuto ranking!"
At this time, the middle-aged man on the second floor opened the huge scroll in his hand.
The contents inside rolled out.
One by one, they were also equipped with patterns and specific analysis.
"Which one is ranked first?"
Everyone's eyes looked at the top position at the same time.
Dragon Scale Blade, Demon Blade!
——Absorbing ninjutsu, absorbing chakra, giving the user the power of demons, the absolute nemesis of ninjas!
But rankings, no matter what, are difficult to gain public recognition, especially when there is no intuitive data comparison.
Someone immediately refuted below.
"How can the Sword of Wisdom not be better than the Dragon Scale Blade? The Sword of Wisdom has self-awareness and can speak human language. Is there any other Zanpakuto that can do it?"
"Not to mention the Zanpakuto, no other ninja tool can do it among all ninja tools!"
Different ninja tools have different characteristics.
They all have their own charm.
Therefore, they can attract a group of admirers.
The list maker here ranked the Sword of Wisdom in second place.
The Sword of Wisdom, the Blade of Consciousness!
- Absorbing ninjutsu, extremely sharp, freely retractable, and self-aware, compared to the ninja sword, this is more like a partner.
The Dragon Scale Blade and the Sword of Wisdom have similarities and differences.
The supporters on both sides have their own opinions, and they all think that the one they support is the strongest.
Third place.
Dragon Bone, Demon Sword!
——The specific ability is unknown, but the ordinary Taketori cat, relying on the stolen dragon bones, almost wiped out the entire Taketori clan overnight, which shows how powerful it is.
A name that was beyond everyone's expectations.
After all, the dragon bone knife has not been heard by everyone for a long time.
The genocide of the Taketori clan at that time really shocked the ninja world.
It once exceeded the war at that time.
In the history of the ninja world, there are many ninja families that have been exterminated.
But the Taketori family is the first ninja family to be exterminated by their own people.
Everyone can't help but have a strong curiosity about the Taketori cat. What kind of personality and what kind of thoughts does a person have to do such a thing.
But as the war progresses.
As time goes by.
As the situation between man and machine changes.
Everyone's attention to the Taketori cat gradually decreases.
"How can a ninja sword with unknown ability be ranked third?"
"You might as well just rank it first."
"It's just nonsense."
"This list has no credibility at all."
"Wild list!"
This is what the middle-aged man upstairs said.
"The Taketori Cat relied on the demon sword Dragon Bone to wipe out the Taketori clan, and Izumo Hozumi received the Wrath of Thunder God, but he was unable to wipe out the Hozumi clan alone at night. This proves that Dragon Bone is above the Wrath of Thunder God."
"Which of the remaining Zanpakuto do you think is firmly above the Wrath of Thunder God?"
This is in line with "logic".
It's just that the information about these two events and these two ninja swords that are to be announced is true.
But obviously, it's not the case.
But these ordinary people in Konoha don't know.
"You are right."
Fourth place.
Divine Staff Yan Mo, Blade of Mad Blood.
——Usually disguised as a useless stick, when it is really used, it can burst out extremely strong power, change its shape at will, and feedback blood and energy to the user.
Before the people below could speak, the middle-aged man upstairs spoke first.
"Did you notice anything?"
"The Zanpakutō made by Uehara Osamu is actually divided into two types."
"One is a simple Zanpakutō with only one ability."
"The other is weird, unpredictable, and even a little evil."
"Dragon Scale Blade, Sword of Wisdom, Dragon Bone, Divine Staff Yan Mo, all like this."
"Therefore, I put this Zanpakutō in the top four."
Everyone listened, and it seemed to make some sense.
Therefore, they did not rush to refute the middle-aged man, but continued to read on.
Fifth place.
Ice Blade, Blue Rose Sword.
——Contains the power of freezing, and can create various ice escape shapes.
Sixth place.
Ice Blade, Frost Sky.
——Contains the power of freezing, mainly attacks with ice dragons. -
One person said: "So, the next ranking is based on the attributes of the abilities provided? Because the attribute of ice is equivalent to the bloodline limit of the ninja, you put it in the front row?"
The middle-aged man nodded.
"Yes."
Hearing the middle-aged man say this, the remaining rankings are basically no suspense.
Seventh place.
Fire Blade, Evil King Flame Killing Sword.
Eighth place.
Thunder Blade, Thunder God's Wrath.
Ninth place.
Thunder Blade, Thunder Blade.
Tenth place.
Rigid Blade, Smiling Qingjiang.
Eleventh place.
Unhealable Blade, Kiri Ichimonji.
Everyone rushed to discuss, not just this one place, but many places.
During the war, everyone's discussion about ninjas will be the mainstream topic.
Either a powerful ninja.
Or a genius ninja.
But now, Uehara Shu's Zanpakuto has opened up a separate track.
Everyone suddenly felt that discussing Zanpakuto was a more interesting topic than exploring the strength of ninjas.
Because the strength of a ninja is personal to the ninja.
And it will change.
But the power of a Zanpakuto belongs to the user.
Although these people did not have the opportunity to get a Zanpakuto, they could imagine what it would be like if they got a Zanpakuto, and they had expectations in their hearts.
There are some differences in the ranking of Zanpakuto in different places.
However, there are also people who are more discussing the performance of the ninjas in this war.
"I don't know how badly injured Jiraiya is and when he can recover."
"The Kirigakure is targeting Jiraiya."
"They actually adopted a round-robin approach."
"First it was Nakayoshi, then Izumo Hozumi, and then it was Kisame Hoshigaki."
"Even the Raikage shamelessly intervened."
"Otherwise, Jiraiya's situation wouldn't be so bad."
"Shameless Raikage!"
"Even though he was defeated, he shamelessly attacked us on the battlefield against the Kirigakure army."
"Disgusting."
One person frowned.
"Speaking of Hoshigaki Kisame, in fact, it's all Hatake Sakumo's fault."
"Obviously, his and Might Dai's job is to contain Hoshigaki Kisame, but after seeing Kakashi in danger, Hatake Sakumo directly put Hoshigaki Kisame aside and supported Kakashi."
"This gave Hoshigaki Kisame the opportunity to attack Master Jiraiya."
"Hatake Sakumo did what he did back then again this time."
"Too selfish."
"Back then, he gave up the mission for his partners."
"This time, he also gave up the mission for his children."
"Sure enough, things like nature cannot be changed."
"Hatake Sakumo is destined to not become a great ninja."
"Even, he is not even a qualified ninja."
"I am so disappointed in him."
Kakashi clenched his fists when he heard such discussions.
But Kakashi did not blame Hatake Sakumo.
Kakashi was just blaming himself.
"It's all my fault that I'm too weak. If I hadn't fallen into danger when facing Momochi Zabuza, father wouldn't have had to do that."
"It's me who caused trouble for father."
Kakashi looked up at Hatake Sakumo next to him, thinking he would see Hatake Sakumo's sad expression.
But he only got one sentence.
"Kakashi, I'm sorry."
Kakashi looked stunned, not knowing why Hatake Sakumo wanted to apologize to him.
"Father, why?"
"Why?"
"Why do you want to apologize to me?"
Kakashi said, "Father, did you do anything wrong? If you want to apologize, it should be me, right? It's because I'm too weak that I caused you to be talked about like this."
Hatake Sakumo shook his head.
"No, Kakashi, you are right."
"This is my choice."
"I am an adult, and the choices I make are all made after careful consideration. Naturally, I am responsible for it myself."
"Besides, you are my son, and I am your father. Isn't it my duty to save you?"
"I am already a dead man. Their comments have no impact on me."
"But, it's different for you, Kakashi."
Hatake Sakumo sighed.
"Because of my choice back then, countless rumors came all over the place, which affected you a lot, and it will definitely be the same this time."
"I'm dead, but you still have a long life ahead of you, Kakashi."
Kakashi shook his head.
"Father, it's not like that."
"You're right."
"In my heart, you are the best father."
Hatake Sakumo smiled and said nothing more.
On the other side, Might Guy and Might Guy were chatting while training.
Both of them were wearing green tights, and they looked out of place with other ninjas.
One had an afro, the other had a watermelon head.
"Father, how can I become as strong as you?"
Might Guy found that the gap between himself and Might Guy was still too big.
Even the Impure World version of Might Guy was far from his strength when he was alive.
As for age, Might Guy saw Kakashi's performance and felt that age should not be his excuse.
"Kai, are you not satisfied with your current strength?"
"I think I should have been stronger."
"That's your fault."
Might Guy said, "Kai, do you know who would say "should have"?
"Who?"
"People who have lost their spirit."
Might Guy looked ahead, his eyes becoming deep.
"Only people who have lost their spirit would say "should have" and "what a pity", as if their past lives were spent in "should have" and "what a pity."
"There are indeed many regrets in life."
"But you should never lose your spirit."
"If you feel you are not strong enough, then work hard."
"When you encounter difficulties, work harder."
"Water with sweat."
"This is youth!"
"When you, Kai, understand the essence of youth, you will become very strong."
"Never lose heart!"
"Always be passionate!"
Might Guy seemed to be convinced, his eyes gradually brightened.
"Father, I know!"
...
...
Uzumaki Nagudō
A ninja from the Hidden Rock Village, with a dull expression, holding a mask, as if being controlled, slowly guided the power of the god of death to his body.
The two figures slowly overlapped.
Then, the Hidden Rock Village ninja took out a sharp blade and stabbed his stomach.
"Puff!"
One knife, separated.
It was as if something was released.
"Kushina, is this all?"
Senju Tobirama looked at Uzumaki Kushina.
"Yes, Lord Tobirama."
Then, Sarutobi Hiruzen pushed another Hidden Rock Village ninja forward.
The Hidden Rock Village ninja was out of control and showed a horrified expression. Obviously, he had anticipated what kind of fate would greet him next.
"You can't do this to me!"
"This is not in line with your promise to Konoha!"
"You agreed to treat the prisoners well!"
"You agreed not to kill those who surrender."
But no one paid attention to the Hidden Rock Village ninja.
Senju Tobirama gestured to Orochimaru.
Then, Orochimaru formed a seal.
"Impure World Reincarnation Technique!"
