Konoha Thief

Chapter 102 Class B

"The basics of swordsmanship, the pace is the simplest but the most important." Maruyoshi Kosuke's stern and hoarse voice sounded from the side, "The so-called power starts from the whole body, if the steps are wrong, even if you swing the knife, you will lose your power If you are not careful when you are fighting hand to hand, your life will be ruined!"

These words are full of warnings, and they are sincere teachings from a teacher, but...

"But master, you didn't tell me how to walk?" Xia Shu grinned and grinned as she rubbed her painful calf.

"Hehe! Do you need someone to teach you how to walk?" Kosuke Maruyoshi turned his hands away again, Xia Shu's eyes followed the branch, and then fell on Kosuke Maruyoshi.

"But..." He understood a little, but he still hesitated a little.

"It seems that you understand." Maruhoshi Kosuke smiled in praise, and immediately explained: "The step is indeed one of the foundations of swordsmanship, but it varies from person to person. There is no certain standard. This step is a transition to coordinate oneself. So you need to judge for yourself.”

"If that's the case, why are you still whipping me?" Xia Shu asked immediately, rubbing her calf, which was swollen and throbbing.

"Hehe!" Kosuke Maruyoshi smiled, "Of course it's because you're in a daze."

"Uh..." Xia Shu suddenly had nothing to say.

But if the branch isn't for whipping yourself, what is it for?

"Keep going." Maruyoshi Kosuke said, Natsuki repositioned himself, and then stepped forward.

"Ninjas are not samurai, so they don't need to follow the so-called Bushido, so they only talk about swordsmanship and not swordsmanship." Kosuke Maruyoshi walked slowly beside him, with the tree branch in his hand, shaking circles behind his back, and staring at the boy , which made the latter feel like a thorn in his back.

then……

Snapped!
"Ouch!" Xia Shu wailed as he grabbed his back with great effort, it was indeed used to beat him!

"It's too tense, relax, let it be, if you are so stiff when fighting with the enemy, not only will the enemy see your openings, but it will also be difficult for you to display [-]% of your strength." Maruyoshi Kosuke carried his hands on his back, and his voice was casual and gentle , a breath of amiable elders.

"Yes, master!" Xia Shu grinned, only should be.

For the whole afternoon, Xia Shu finally understood, understood the idiom - HD toddler!

The twilight is gray, and the bleak wind blowing in the afternoon is wrapped in dead leaves and grass, flying around wantonly, and the dusk on the outskirts of Konoha is a gloomy color

"Although the steps are simple, don't be too deliberate." On the inclined path, Kosuke Maruyoshi's footsteps stepped on the withered yellow grass, making a slight sound, just like a mediocre ordinary person, without any noticeable ninja. normality.

"So I have to relax!" Xia Shu nodded solemnly, and then his eyes flashed, and he turned his head to invite: "Master, come to my house to eat hot pot, that is the most relaxing thing for me!"

"Ahem!!" Maruhoshi Kosuke suddenly coughed violently when he heard the words, and when he heard "hot pot", he felt salivary and swelled up and down, and waved his hands quickly: "When people are old, they have a bland taste, so they can't enjoy such exciting food."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for the boy's reaction, he followed the fork and headed north, which indeed pointed to his home.

"Actually, there is a clear soup pot." Xia Shu raised his eyebrows and tilted his head to look at the leaving figure, and muttered with a smirk.

Perhaps it was because he practiced later than usual, but he didn't come across that green figure on the way home.

As soon as I got home, I unloaded the ninja knife and the ninja tool bag I carried with me, and filled the bathtub with hot water.

Prepared hot pot, ingredients, drinks, heated the special base that only he could enjoy, took off his clothes and lay down in the bathtub at the right temperature while waiting, enjoying the feeling of being wrapped in warmth, and closed his eyes comfortably for a while to rest.

Only the body is resting, and the pace of practice is still simulated in the mind.

With the practice of being pumped one after another in the afternoon, he probably also found his own pace. This kind of practice, which is easy to say but difficult to practice, all depends on his own understanding. At this moment, he has overcome this difficulty.

"I'm eating alone again, hey! This feeling...is so refreshing!" Wearing a large bath towel, next to the hot pot, there are meat rolls, lettuce, and aquatic products, and the portions are not small. Xia Shu sits at the small table and mixes the dishes. The dipping sauce in it, then quickly serve and eat!
……

"B-level mission?!" In the pavilion at the mission office, Kuno Heiyu put down the mission book, but opened his mouth wide, and his wide eyes were full of shock and eagerness to try.

At this moment, ten days have passed since the crusade mission in Black Moon Valley, and just now, the Qingmu team received a new mission to meet the usual standards for carrying out missions.

It's just... this task turned out to be a B-rank.

"A B-level task is a Jonin level, right?" Natsuki frowned and asked a question, and glanced at Gennosuke Aoki inadvertently.

The second ninja world war just ended, and as the winner, Konoha was undoubtedly recognized by the ninja world, so he got the most missions.

This has caused Konoha's manpower to be tight. For example, in the future, when the twelfth little strong graduates, they will first practice with D-level tasks, and there is no possibility at all.

However, it was so inconceivable that a team led by a Chunin would perform a B-level mission. A mission of this level would almost certainly be obstructed by a ninja.

So this also made Natsuki have some guesses. As for why the guess was on Aoki Gennosuke, not the hidden Maruyoshi Kosuke, it was because Sandai Hokage once said personally that Maruyoshi Kosuke has been Will be a ninja, and can only perform tasks that match it.

"It's a jounin level, but it has some special features. It doesn't require you to be a jounin to receive it." Aoki Gennosuke's words crushed Natsuki's guess into pieces, but it was reasonable.

Aoki Gennosuke's strength is not bad at the chunin level. There is no obvious shortcoming in the combination of Taijutsu and wind escape, but he can only be called an elite chunin.

Judging from past performances, it may be able to compete with Jounin, but that's all, and the real level is not up to the level of Jounin.

"Are there any special requirements?" Maruyoshi Kosuke asked, his tone was a little more serious than before, as if it reminded him of the mission where the radical commander who was eager for quick success and quick profit killed his subordinates and seriously injured himself.

"The requirement is that other teams must be invited to form two teams of eight people, in order to completely take over this mission." Aoki Gennosuke said, took the mission book from Kuno Kuroyu, and handed it to Natsuki and Maruhoshiko Circulate it again.

"Teacher Gennosuke, is there anyone who has chosen?" Xia Shu closed the task book and looked up to the opposite side.

"Of course!" Gennosuke Aoki smiled heartily with his arms crossed, patted Kuno Kuroyu on the shoulder, and said, "That guy Hirano has formed a new team, we can cooperate with him again!"
