Naruto: From Fake to Real, Deceiving the Ninja World.

"I can't pull it out at all!"

When it was the Chunin's turn, they were much more composed than the Genin, their eyes filled with contemplation.

Some tried using chakra of different attributes, some tried to find the mechanism of the sword box or weapon, and some even formed all sorts of hand seals.

A Chunin skilled in Wind Release formed hand seals, attempting to use airflow to envelop the hilt of 'Arrogance' to increase friction.

However, the airflow dissipated the moment it approached the hilt, and 'Arrogance' didn't even tremble.

Another Chunin petrified his arm to increase his strength and, thinking himself clever, grabbed the hilt of 'Lust', but the seemingly small dagger remained completely still.

"hateful!"

The person who tried it shook his numb arm, his face showing anxiety and resentment.

Disappointment enveloped everyone present, and whispers turned into low complaints and sighs.

"Can these weapons really be pulled out?"

"Is there any special method needed?"

Even when some Jonin tried, the result remained unchanged.

The four weapons seemed to be lifeless, showing no reaction to any external force.

The atmosphere in the square began to quiet down, and the previous commotion and anticipation completely disappeared.

Finally, only the Jonin standing behind Hiruzen Sarutobi remained. Nara Shikaku, Yamanaka Inoichi, and Akimichi Choza stepped forward one by one.

Yamanaka Inoichi tried the 'Lust' short dagger, while Akimichi Choza chose the 'Gluttony' sword, which looked the heaviest.

hum...

The moment Yamanaka Inoichi's hand touched the hilt of the sword, 'Lust' seemed to tremble very slightly.

The slight tremor, though so small as to be almost imperceptible, was met with a sharp jolt of energy from the Konoha ninja who were all watching intently.

"There's a reaction!"

"Master Haiyi!"

"As expected, we still need strong individuals!"

"Wait, why is it lust? Could it be..."

The previously silent crowd stirred again, their disappointment replaced by renewed hope, and they all stared wide-eyed at Yamanaka Inoichi.

Even Tsunade, who had been expressionless the whole time, had a slight twitch in her eyes.

This is the first time to date that the 'Seven Deadly Sins' have produced a clear response to external stimuli.

However, Yamanaka Inoichi frowned. He tried to increase the force, but there was no further response, and the pink luster flowing on the surface of the dagger returned to silence.

In the end, he could only shake his head helplessly and step back.

The same was true for Choza Akimichi beside him. Even though he used the "Partial Expansion Technique" to enlarge his palm and increase his strength, he still couldn't pull it out even a fraction of an inch.

"This……"

The flame of hope, barely ignited, was extinguished by even deeper, colder water.

What are the criteria for selecting the wielders of these weapons?

Nara Shikaku didn't act rashly. He carefully examined the four weapons, frowning as he asked, "The literal meaning?"

So, were Jiraiya, Kakashi, and Hyuga Kumokawa really lazy, jealous, and greedy?

He didn't know Hinata Kumokawa well. If he had to say, the actions of the former two could be considered laziness and jealousy.

But that's too much of a stretch; there's no unified standard.

Jiraiya's laziness and Kakashi's jealousy seem to have nothing in common.

If we're only talking about the surface meaning, the Akimichi clan undoubtedly best embodies the word "gluttony."

As he pondered, Nara Shikaku looked at the characters engraved on the sword case and casually read, "The blood of every god must end with a sword."

god?

The end of the sword?

What does it mean?

Nara Shikaku's gaze fell on 'Pride'. He reached out, but instead of pulling it out forcefully, he gently placed his palm on the spine of the sword, trying to sense its inner 'will'.

Just then, Tsunade, who had been observing coldly, suddenly made a move.

She strode to the sword case, her gaze sweeping over the four weapons before finally settling on the eight-sided sword named 'Pride'.

"Hmph! Pretending to be a ghost!"

Tsunade snorted coldly, a hint of eagerness flashing in her eyes. She didn't even use both hands, but simply stretched out her right hand, her five fingers spread wide, and gripped the hilt of 'Arrogance' like an iron clamp!

Strange power!

Boom! Crack! Crack!

A burst of violent chakra erupted from Tsunade's body in an instant, her long golden hair moved without wind, and the ground beneath her feet cracked inch by inch with her as the center!

"Give it to me!" Tsunade growled. "Come out!"

Buzz! Click!

'Arrogance' emitted an unprecedented buzzing sound, and black light flashed wildly on its blade.

To everyone's astonishment, Tsunade actually managed to pull out half of the eight-sided sword, its sharp blade gleaming with a cold light!

"It's done?!"

"Tsunade-sama!"

"As expected of the Three Ninja!"

A huge gasp erupted from the crowd, but just as the blade was halfway out!

A more violent and colder recoil force suddenly burst out from the hilt of the knife, like a spring that had been compressed to its limit being suddenly released!

Bang! !

Tsunade felt an irresistible force strike her hand, and couldn't help but groan as her fingers, which had been gripping the sword hilt tightly, involuntarily loosened.

Clang!

The 'Arrogance' sword, which had been pulled out halfway, fell back into its sheath, and its black light dimmed as if it had never been shaken.

"Damn it! Just a hair's breadth away! This damn sword..."

Tsunade's hand holding the sword trembled uncontrollably, and her face showed an extremely angry expression.

This completely extinguished everyone's hopes. Even Tsunade, one of the Legendary Sannin, failed. Who else could succeed?

Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado simply went up to try it out of curiosity.

They chose 'pride' and 'lust' respectively, but failed to stir even the slightest ripple, and could only shake their heads and sigh as they withdrew.

Finally, there is Danzo Shimura.

He slowly walked to the sword case, his single eye lingering on the octagonal sword 'Pride' for a moment, then sweeping over the 'Gluttony' saber, and finally settling on 'Wrath'.

He extended his right hand, which was wrapped in bandages, and slowly grasped the hilt of the katana.

hum...

'Anger' responded in a low, guttural voice.

On the blade of the katana, a ghostly blue light flickered like breath, and a scorching aura emanated from it.

Seeing this, Danzo's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he suddenly exerted his strength!

laugh!

He managed to pull the hilt of the knife out an inch, and the golden light shone brightly.

However, just an inch after the blade left the scabbard, a chilling golden flame suddenly ignited, fiercely burning Danzo's arm from the hilt like a leech!

"What is this?!"

Danzo's expression changed instantly. He felt the Hollow inside his arm become violent and restless, and he released his grip without hesitation.

Clang!

The 'anger' instantly bounced back to its original position, and the golden flames quickly went out.

Danzo looked at the charred marks left on his hands, a hint of fear and deep apprehension flashing in his single eye. He silently took a step back and stopped trying.

"There's no way it can be pulled out..."

"Are these weapons fake?"

"Are you kidding me...?"

The whispers were filled with complaints and disappointment, and Hiruzen Sarutobi, watching this scene, felt equally helpless and heavy-hearted.

Could it be that none of the ninjas in the entire Hidden Leaf Village are capable of wielding these four weapons?

Just when all was quiet and people were scattered.

Standing quietly behind and to the side of Hiruzen Sarutobi, Hyuga Kumokawa, as an observer, gradually deepened the light in his eyes.

He seemed to have grasped the essence of the 'Seven Deadly Sins'.

If, as he suspected, the value of these seven weapons was...

Hinata Kumokawa looked at Might Guy, who had somehow squeezed in next to him and was now huddled close to Kakashi.

"Kai," he asked with a smile, "You're both taijutsu ninjas, and even Lady Tsunade has given it a try. Why don't you give it a shot?"

Chapter 202 The master of the Seven Deadly Sins wanted to kill the gods.

Might Guy was originally pestering Kakashi to show off that he had also become a Jonin, shouting, "Kakashi! Let's have a youthful showdown later."

Upon hearing this, he subconsciously turned to look at Hyuga Kumokawa, then at the four swords, and scratched his head, saying, "Huh? This..."

"Yun Chuan, it's not that I don't want to try, it's just that I only know how to use nunchucks. I don't know how to use swords at all."

"Moreover, even Lady Tsunade couldn't pull it out, so I reckon it's even less likely."

"Is that so?" Hyuga Yunchuan's smile remained unchanged, but his gaze swept over Kakashi with a hint of meaning, and he said softly, "But Kakashi and I both drew one."

Do you think you're inferior to us?

Upon hearing this, Kakashi's dead fish eyes rolled back. This kind of low-level provocation was too obvious; who would...?

“Hmm, that seems to make sense.” Might Guy straightened up instantly and looked at their swords. “If you can do it, how can I fall behind?”

Having said that, he rushed to the sword case in one stride, his movements so fast that they created a gust of wind. His green bodysuit was particularly eye-catching in the sunlight, attracting a wave of surprised and strange glances.

"Come on! Let me see which one is worthy of my burning youth!" Might Guy's gaze swept over the four weapons, finally locking onto the one in the center, 'Arrogance'.

This sword looks like the 'most powerful' one.

“You’re the one! Arrogance, huh!” Might Guy rolled up his sleeves, revealing his strong arms, and reached for the hilt of the sword ‘Arrogance’ with both hands.

"Wait, Kai."

Just as Might Guy's hand was about to touch the hilt of 'Pride', Hinata Kumokawa suddenly spoke up: "I think you can try 'Gluttony'."

"Gluttony?"

Might Guy abruptly stopped, turning to look at Hinata Kumokawa with a puzzled expression.

Even Nara Shikaku, who had been frowning and deep in thought, suddenly raised his head, his eyes showing undisguised surprise.

Not only him, but everyone who heard those words looked bewildered and confused.

Gluttony?

Matt Kay and Gluttony?

Isn't this combination too incongruous?

Faced with the various gazes of the crowd, Hinata Kumokawa did not explain, but simply nodded to Might Guy with an encouraging look in his eyes.

"Well... fine, binge eating it is, it doesn't matter anyway."

Although Might Guy was full of questions, he had a natural trust in Hinata Kumokawa, so he scratched his head and muttered, "Youth is about daring to try!"
