Konoha's struggle for power

"The good news is that he doesn't know about your evil deeds yet."

Ruoye glared at Shikuriku who was smiling evilly. Obviously, this so-called good news was just for Shikiroku to make fun of him. Such breaking news, Jiraiya was back, he must have known about it immediately. Even if he didn't know, some thoughtful people, I will tell him as soon as possible.

"Dang-" There was a clear sound of swords, and the originally quiet crowd immediately became noisy.

"What a knife, what a knife."

There were compliments from the crowd. Lu Tian, ​​who was in the attic, dragged his chin and looked at the crowd below. He had a half-inch scar on the left side of his face and a mustache, which made him look a bit fierce.Even when he heard someone complimenting him, he still looked serious.

Outsiders thought that this scar was left because of the war, but Ruoye knew that Lutian cut this scar himself, and he made the decision after hesitating for a long time.

Of course, this was something Lu Liu got drunk one time and shook it out, but it's not hard to imagine why Lu Tian did this. After all, he was in the weapons business, and his skin and tender flesh would inevitably make people feel unreliable.

Appraisal of knives naturally involves playing swords. A good appraiser can naturally judge the quality of the knives based on the sound. The clear and low sound proves that the sword body is of high purity and the forging process is uniform.

Therefore, playing the sword can only identify the quality of the knife. A good weapon does not mean that it is of good quality.

Ruoye looked around and saw that the person who was playing the sword just now was the more famous appraiser, Soujiro.The Soujiro family is a martial arts family with deep knowledge of weapons. However, due to genetic problems, family members cannot produce chakra.

When samurai were popular, Soujiro's family was also a famous family, but with the rise of ninjas, many samurai families fell.

Soujiro didn't say anything, and just wrote his own appraisal on paper with a pen.Professionals don't like exaggerated words.

"Swish, swish, swish -" A refreshing sword dance, the sword light was sharp, and the sound of soft chanting piercing the air suddenly reached my ears.

The more important part of appraising a weapon is to practice it. As an expert, the weapon is in your own hands and you can perform a few moves to know the advantages and disadvantages of the weapon.

The sword dancer's name is Totosai. He is a bald man with a long beard. There is a red rope tied at the end of the beard. He is also a bit old.

In his early years, he was also a famous weapons forger. Now, there are many masters in Lutian's forging factory who are his apprentices.Of course, Ruoye did not have this luck. When Ruoye entered the weapons factory to learn skills, the old man had already retired.

"What a sharp knife." A group of people clapped their hands. Most of these audience members are also appraisers, but they are not very famous. This time, they come to join in the fun, and secondly, to see the master's techniques, they will probably benefit a lot. shallow.

The two weapons masters, neither of whom seemed to be boastful, wrote their comments on the paper after the appraisal.Some people naturally came over to take a look at the master's style.

Ruoye looked around and saw that the weapons identified this time were all swords.Tai swords can be divided into three categories according to their length. One is the long blade, which is about one meter to 1.4 meters.One is a short blade, about 50 to 70 centimeters long.The third category, which is about thirty centimeters, is called a dagger.

Some people may wonder why there is no space between [-] centimeters and one meter?In fact, Ruoye doesn't know why, but with such a long history of weapon craftsmanship, there must be a reason for not using a knife of that length.

"President, the appraiser hired by the young master probably doesn't have-" When Yoshino saw Ruoye, he immediately reminded Lutian. After all, he didn't like Ruoye from the bottom of his heart.Yoshino is Lutian's deputy and deeply trusted by Lutian.

"Yeah." Lutian raised his hand to signal Yoshino to stop talking.Lu Tian is a pragmatic person who only looks at the results when doing things, not the process, nor does he recognize his identity.

"Yes, President." Yoshino nodded, and immediately became more dissatisfied with Ruoye.

Ruoye naturally didn't know that someone hated him again, but it seemed that most people in the wood industry hated him. Even Luliu actually despised him in his heart.

When Ruoye saw that all the weapons were swords, he had some suspicion in his mind.Yes, the mass production of Taito means that there will be a large-scale Ninja battle between horses.

Although there are constant frictions among the five major countries today, they are secretly competing with each other in the surrounding small countries, each building its own strength. Although there is intervention, it is not very large-scale. Most wars are still fought between factions within small countries.

But as time goes by, there is gradually a victory or defeat, but the victory or defeat between small countries is obviously not recognized by the big countries, so the losing party will never be reconciled.

On the one hand, it will lose the right to obtain benefits from a small country, and on the other hand, it will gain a country that is hostile to itself. This situation is naturally not something those in power want to see.

In order to save the defeat, more troops were naturally invested to reverse the situation. To put it simply and straightforwardly, the war was escalating.According to current parlance, it is an open armed intervention.

As for why he saw the sword, if Wakaba could guess that there would be a large-scale shinobi battle, it was naturally because of experience.Generally, ninjas and genin use kunai, shuriken, and fist blades. Only a few of the better ninjas are equipped with long blades and short blades.

Looking at the weaponry of ninjas, it can be seen that many ninjas are equipped with long blades and short blades.Ninja's ninjutsu and taijutsu are relatively high, and throwing kunai and shurikens doesn't have much lethality, so it's not common to defeat an enemy in one round at a distance, unless there's a huge disparity in strength.

After one round, most of them were fighting hand to hand. In hand to hand fighting, the kunai was obviously not very comfortable to use. At this time, the lethality of the tachi was revealed.

"Let's go, hurry up." Lu Liu urged.

"Who is he?" Some people asked Ruoye when they saw him.Obviously, they knew Lu Liu, the young master. What kind of powerful person was he being led by the young master?They are naturally full of speculation.

"He, you really don't know? Mu Ye Rune." People who know a little bit about ninjas can know Ruoye. It is said that a person needs to be famous. In addition to being handsome, personable, and having outstanding military exploits, running away seems to be the same. Effect.

Of course, escaping is also an art. The battlefield is not about running away. Cowardice and escaping are punishable by imprisonment. Now that Ruoye has escaped so many times and is still fine, it actually shows that it is not illegal for him to escape.

When Soujiro saw Wakaba, he had a look of contempt on his face. He had always regarded himself as a famous person, so naturally he looked down on people like Wakaba, but Totosai didn't have any expression of disgust, and he didn't act like he was relying on his old age.

"Hello, Mr. Totosai." Ruoye had worked in a weapons factory. Although Totosai had retired at that time, he could still be considered Totosai's disciple.

"Well, you are young, not bad." Although Totozai is not ashamed of Ruoye's character, although he is not in the training factory, he is still in Cao Ying and his heart is Han. His interest in forging knives has not diminished, so he is also a weapon forger. The latter looked at the craftsmanship, so he had heard that Ruoye had some talent in weapon forging.

Of course, I haven't done anything in almost five years, and it's obvious that I can no longer forge weapons. I can't stop this skill. If I stop, it will make a big difference.Especially for the knowledge of fire, it is basically impossible to produce a flow.

So even if a master like Totosai asked him to use a top-quality weapon now, he wouldn't be able to feel it for a while.

Seeing Ruoye saluting Totosai, Soujiro also raised his head, waiting for Ruoye to salute him. After all, he was also an appraiser at the same level as Totosai.

Wakaba Totori ignored Soujiro and walked directly to the weapons display rack.
