The Mist Ninja Village has been quite lively these past two days.
News of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist selection spread throughout the entire Ninja Village in less than a day.
The Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, whether in the Mist Ninja Village or in the history of the Ninja World, have always been synonymous with power.
According to normal selection procedures, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist were always predetermined.
But this time, the selection for the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist was open to anyone, and this news came from the Mizukage Office, personally confirmed by Mei Terumī.
Furthermore, it was jointly overseen by Chōjūrō, the wielder of Twin Swords: Hiramekarei, and the Hozuki Clan.
For a time, the Ninja of the entire Mist Ninja Village were abuzz, especially for common Ninja, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make a name for themselves.
...
Bubble's residence.
At this moment, Bubble had a helpless expression, watching Ranmaru constantly moving back and forth in front of him.
Although two days had passed, Ranmaru was still excitedly hopping around on the ground.
Ranmaru had never thought he could truly walk on the ground without any worries.
This was the power bestowed upon him by Yūto, and whenever he thought of this, Ranmaru's eyes shimmered with adoration.
Although Yūto had said he didn't need eyes, Ranmaru firmly believed he could definitely become Yūto's aid!
Bubble watched Ranmaru walking back and forth, a hint of curiosity flashing deep in his eyes.
As the one who brought Ranmaru back, Bubble was quite aware of Ranmaru's physical condition.
It was precisely because he was aware that Bubble couldn't quite understand what kind of Ninjutsu could restore Ranmaru to a normal state.
Thinking of this, Bubble subtly glanced at the black diamond symbol in the center of Ranmaru's forehead, vaguely feeling it was related to that symbol.
Moreover, the Six-Tails Saiken within Bubble told him that a considerably powerful Chakra seemed to be hidden within Ranmaru.
Bubble withdrew his gaze from Ranmaru and continued to lean lazily against a large tree.
Although he was quite curious, it was only curiosity; if Ranmaru wasn't hopping around in front of him, Bubble would rather close his eyes and sleep on the tree.
Two soft footsteps came from a distance, and Bubble knew who it was without opening his eyes.
Kimimaro's face was slightly pale, and he could even still feel the weakness emanating from within his body.
But Kimimaro's eyes were very bright; the pain his body had grown accustomed to had significantly receded after this period of treatment from Yūto.
Kimimaro could clearly feel his illness being slowly suppressed.
"Don't use Ninjutsu during this time, it's best not to even use Chakra, and in the future, if you use Corpse Bone Pulse, throw away all the bones extracted from your body; don't put them back inside."
Yūto looked at the pale-faced Kimimaro and spoke indifferently.
"Yes, Yūto."
Hearing Yūto's words, Kimimaro respectfully replied.
"Yūto!"
Just then, a similarly respectful voice came from ahead.
Yūto turned his head, a smile appearing on his face as he watched Ranmaru jogging over.
If there was one thing that surprised Yūto the most after his revival, it was Ranmaru, and it was also the only thing that had pleasantly surprised Yūto so far.
Given Ranmaru's initial physical condition, Yūto had never imagined that Ranmaru could absorb five or six times more cursed seal Chakra than his body's limit.
Now, Ranmaru appears like an ordinary child on the surface, but once he undergoes cursed seal transformation, his strength can completely skyrocket to the Jonin level, coupled with his Red Eye Bloodline Limit.
An ordinary Jonin might not even be his opponent!
For Yūto, this was a complete unexpected joy, but it was probably a one-off; Ranmaru's obsession with his body and being able to walk completely exceeded Yūto's imagination, coupled with his strong willpower, which was also key to Ranmaru's perseverance.
Yūto reached out and stroked Ranmaru's small head, saying softly:
"How's your mastery of your power?"
"Yūto, Ranmaru can now completely enter cursed seal transformation at any time. Ranmaru also didn't expect that the Bloodline Limit could better help Ranmaru master cursed seal transformation."
Ranmaru enjoyed Yūto's touch and spoke happily.
Yūto's eyes lit up; the Red Eye's ability could be said to be a replica of the Byakugan, and in some functions, it was even much stronger than the Byakugan.
Of course, compared to the Reincarnation Eye, it naturally couldn't compare.
"I knew you'd be here, Yūto."
Just then, a slightly charming voice came from behind.
A hint of surprise flashed in Yūto's eyes as he turned around and looked at Mei Terumī slowly walking over from behind.
"Tsk, Mizukage, you actually have the leisure to come out today, that's truly surprising."
Yūto looked at Mei Terumī walking over, a teasing smile on his face.
Mei Terumī rolled her eyes, spread her hands, and said:
"Did you forget today is the day of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist selection? Most of the Ninja in the entire Ninja Village have gone, so I naturally have some free time."
Mei Terumī sized up Kimimaro and Ranmaru next to Yūto.
When she saw Ranmaru, Mei Terumī's eyes lit up. She walked over and stroked Ranmaru's head, a look of interest on her face, and said to Yūto:
"This is the child you told me about, the one who even surprised you."
Feeling Mei Terumī's actions, Ranmaru's face flushed with shyness. He couldn't help but retreat two steps, standing somewhat awkwardly behind Yūto.
Yūto chuckled softly and nodded, but a hint of seriousness flashed in his eyes: "It seems the Kinoshita Clan finally couldn't hold back."
Mei Terumī's lips curved: "Yūto guessed right. They spent a fortune to have me personally come and invite Yūto."
"Haha, it seems you really fleeced them."
Yūto couldn't help but laugh, and then said to Mei Terumī again:
"Let's go, this good show is finally about to begin."
Watching the Mizukage and Yūto gradually walk away, Ranmaru blinked slightly, recalling the conversation between the two about the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist selection, and a hint of curiosity flashed in his eyes.
Ranmaru ran towards a large tree, looking at Bubble, who was leaning against the tree with his eyes closed, seemingly asleep. Ranmaru quickly walked over and gently shook him:
"Bubble, do you know what the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist are about?"
Bubble opened his eyes somewhat helplessly. He naturally knew what Ranmaru wanted to ask. To prevent Ranmaru from disturbing his peace again, Bubble directly said:
"If you can become one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, you will definitely be able to help Yūto."
As Bubble's words fell, Ranmaru's eyes became bright, and he immediately ran towards the center of the Mist Ninja Village.
Watching Ranmaru finally leave, Bubble closed his eyes again, muttering to himself: "Troublesome kid."
...
Center of the Mist Ninja Village.
At this moment, around a large training ground in the center of the Mist Ninja Village.
It could only be described as a sea of people; most of the Ninja in the entire Ninja Village had basically gathered here.
However, most people were there with the intention of watching the spectacle.
After all, this was the first time in the history of the Mist Ninja Village that members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist were being selected without restrictions.
