Capítulo 221: Chapter 157.1 : Weapon List Begins!
"Boom!"
After a seven-day interlude, the chime of the Golden List sounded punctually.
[Ninja World Gold List Announcement: All souls from the Ninja World and those of the Pure Land can be glimpsed on the Gold List. ]
[Ninja World Gold List Announcement: Speech is restricted,... (rules remain unchanged))
[Gold List Announcement: Note, any future entrant to the list can speak without restriction.)
[Gold List Announcement: Now, the World Weapon List will be unveiled. There are 30 slots on the list. Each weapon listed can be enhanced once, and the owner shall receive a reward!]
Yo!
Another golden chime resonated.
A three-dimensional projection materialized.
It was Haku who had declared his affiliation with Konoha Village.
This time, the display wasn't static; it was an animated image.
"Ah~"
Golden List splurged funds, conjuring a cascade of special effects as a weapon descended from the sky and soared towards Bai.
Golden light encircled the weapon, drawing everyone's gaze.
As the light dissipated, the weapon stood before them.
A colossal sword with a large semicircular gap at its base.
Many recognized this weapon.
Yet, despite their familiarity, disbelief painted their expressions.
"Thank you."
The three-dimensional projection transformed into a streak of light, embedding itself into the weapon list, morphing into a weapon avatar.
Specific ranking details were displayed.
30th Place: Kubikiribōchō (Absorbs the iron element from the enemy's blood to regenerate and replenish the wielder's stamina.)
Owner: Haku
Silence.
A profound silence.
Not because the Kubikiribōchō made the list.
Nor because it belonged to Haku.
The source of their astonishment was Kubikiribōchō's unexpected 30th ranking.
Kubikiribōchō was once dubbed the worst among Mist Shinobi's Seven Swords, but that label merely reflects its specialized function, shared by the other six swords. It doesn't imply the sword's true inadequacy.
Its blood-sucking ability enables both self-regeneration and the restoration of the wielder's stamina.
For a physical or heavy-hitting ninja, it's a perfect weapon.
The Seven Swords and their wielders are inextricably linked, achieving mutual greatness.
Together, they could conquer a small country overnight, earning them fame rivaling that of the Mist.
In the ninja world, few ninja tools compare to Kirigakure's Seven Swords.
However, Kubikiribōchō now ranks at the bottom, indicating that many weapons they were confident in didn't make the cut.
This revelation suggests there are weapons beyond their imagination on the list.
[Terumi Mei: "It is one of the Seven Swords of the Mist. I'll scatter flowers."
[Onoki: "The fools are out in force today!"
[Fourth Raikage Ai: "I may no longer be the Fourth Raikage, but I understand this sentiment. Our people are hardly represented."
[Onoki: "Such sorrow doesn't need a public declaration!"
[Killer Bee: "Big brother, Baga Yaro, my sword didn't make the cut."
[Tenten: "It's disheartening. I've lost my chance at riches, unable to assist the Hokage in future."
[Uchiha Ran: "Be patient. What's meant to be will be."
[Darui: "Even the Mist's Seven Swords are ranked at bottom, and the Cleaver Sword I wield didn't make it either."
[Gaara: "The gourd behind me didn't make the grade!"
[Hidan: "Lord Evil God, I'm distraught. Even the Retractable Spear and Triple-Bladed Scythe didn't make it."
[Uchiha Madara: "The old man's sickle didn't make the cut. Junior here wants to be ranked."
[Kimimaro: Orochimaru-sama, I regret to inform you that weapons crafted from spider webs are not deemed worthy for the list."
[Tayuya: Even my flute stands no chance of making the cut.]
[Orochimaru: Hehehe, even the Kusanagi sword, which I bestowed upon Sasuke, fails to meet the criteria.]
[Jiraiya: Sorrow flows like a river. I had hoped to rely on the sealed stone sword for a counterattack, but it appears futile.]
[Gamabunta: Even with these colossal swords behind me, I find myself ineligible for consideration to be on list. (sigh)]
[Might Guy: It seems my nunchaku won't be making it onto the list.]
[Hatake Kakashi: Guy, your embarrassment is shared, but even the White Fang sword wielded by my father falls short. I had hoped for a chance at redemption. Sadly, it eludes me.]
[Hatake Sakumo: Fear not, Kakashi. Opportunities will arise in due time. While reincarnation may not be possible, I shall bear witness to the dawn of a new era.]
[Hatake Kakashi: Yes, father!]
[Senju Tobirama: Despite my relentless pursuit, the Sword of the Thunder God no longer earns its place on the list. Yet, I remain intrigued. Even the Kirigakure Seven Swords occupy the lowest ranks. What lies beyond them?]
[...]
Amidst the ninja community, discussions abound.
Had it not been for the recent incidents prompting a plethora of shinobi to reveal their weapons, such fervent discourse would not have ensued.
Clearly, each had entered the fray with a strategic approach to rank.
After all, only thirty slots were available.
And in the realm of shinobi, only a handful of renowned weapons exist.
Setting aside any concealed weapons, even with the exclusion of the Hidden Mist Seven Swords, an estimated ten slots remained up for grabs.
Yet, reality proved their estimations too conservative.
Numerous formidable weapons remained concealed from public knowledge.
