Konoha Thief

Chapter 88
"The swordsmanship contained in the scroll left by my father has not touched that level." Xia Shu shook his head with a wry smile upon hearing this.

Since the prosperity of the ninja sect, kendo has escaped the cage, and has become a powerful method not inferior to ninjutsu.

Kendo, like the country of samurai, the country of iron, has the swordsmanship of cutting out sword energy with chakra.

Another example is the thunder escape swordsmanship of Yunyin in the country of thunder, the assassination swordsmanship of Kirin in the country of water, and the fire escape swordsmanship of the Konoha Uchiha clan, all of which are powerful swordsmanship combining Chakra and swordsmanship.

Compared with those schools with profound background, the swordsmanship recorded in the scroll left by the original owner's father is really not at the same level.

"It's not because of Chakra? Then..." Kosuke Maruhoshi pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "It's really hard to describe the whole swordsmanship in words, so why don't you demonstrate it to me, if you're not afraid of being stolen by me ,hehe!"

After he finished speaking, he laughed himself out. With the inheritance of the Konoha-style swordsmanship, there is no need to steal from an unknown school.

"Senior was joking." Xia Shu said respectfully, and then smiled wryly: "But if it's a practice, I'm afraid it won't work right now."

"Oh?"

"Because I came to the dinner party, I didn't bring a ninja sword." Xia Shu explained: "I have to get started with that sword skill. If I use Kunai as a substitute, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it."

"Well, let's do it tomorrow." Kosuke Maruhoshi nodded, and said with a kind smile, "It happens that I'm a little bored, so come and spend some time with me, brother Natsuki."

"Thank you, senior!" Xia Shu immediately stood up, bowed with joy and thanked him.

"Hehe! It's a small matter." Kosuke Maruhoshi waved his hand.

Then Xia Shu realized that the residence of Maruhoshi Kosuke was not far from him, but one was in the south and the other was in the north.

"There happens to be a relatively remote training ground over there. I'll see you there tomorrow morning." Kosuke Maruhoshi chuckled, his slightly hunched back gradually drifting away under the dim streetlights.

Withdrawing his gaze, Xia Shu turned around and took advantage of the night to stroll towards home.

I ate too much barbecue just now, and it seems that I have to digest it until midnight again, but the hope of "Dimensional Thieves" is as happy as death.

……

As always, Xia Shu got up early.

After breakfast, I tidied up briefly, then rushed to the training ground with my ninja sword in my arms.

I didn’t encounter anything on the way, except that I occasionally saw the Uchiha clan on patrol. Of course, from the emblems embedded in the shurikens on the uniforms they wore, we can know that these people’s identities at this moment are the Konoha Police Force, and they also That is, the painting of the Uchiha clan by the Second Hokage Senju Feijian is a prison!

It's just that these have nothing to do with Natsuki. Since he was not born into that tragic family, nor inherited his unique blood succession limit, of course there is no need to worry about his ill-fated fate for no reason.

When he arrived at the training ground, the slightly icy autumn wind rolled the dead leaves and hit the empty field, Natsuki nodded in satisfaction, arriving earlier than Kosuke Maruhoshi, at least it could show his respect.

Excluding the twisted sword, among the three swordsmanship moves recorded in the scroll, there is still one move that has not been practiced, the reverse brush cut!
The purpose of this sword technique is to make a sudden reverse turn to catch the gap and defeat the opponent by surprise.

Therefore, it involves superb skills, which naturally have to be honed.

The ninja knife was pulled out of its sheath, and a bright silver light floated up. Xia Shu held the ninja knife in his hand, and was silent for a moment. The key to cultivation flashed in his mind, and suddenly he opened his eyes, with sharp eyes, and suddenly swung the knife!

Maruyoshi Kosuke saw this scene from afar when he came, and then he quietly stepped into the training ground, stopped outside, and watched the young man practicing swordsmanship with a sword.

He nodded and shook his head from time to time, gradually gaining a general understanding of the young man's level of swordsmanship in his heart.

Swish! ~ Shua!

A fierce vertical slash, followed by a reverse turn. In addition to changing from a vertical slash to an oblique slash, the speed was even faster than when the slash was made, tearing the air so that there was a sharp scream!

This is undoubtedly the reverse brush chop, even if it is slightly biased.

"Huh!~" With a long sigh of relief, Xia Shu knelt down on one knee, inserted the ninja sword into the ground, and said with joy on his face: "The first step, complete!"

-

'Reverse Flick Slash, a sword of condensed skill and speed, can be divided into three levels of cultivation. '

'First: the blade reverses and returns. '

'Second: the blade returns to the same spot. '

'Third: Return with the blade as you wish. '

'To achieve the third level is to achieve great success! '

-

At this moment, the blade is cut out, and then suddenly turned backwards, which is the performance of the first level.

Clap clap!Clap clap! ~

The sound of clapping came from the side, Xia Shu wiped off the hot sweat on his forehead, and looked over with a smile.

"Senior Gu Jie." He greeted respectfully.

"Well, brother Natsuki's swordsmanship is the first to see the way." Kosuke Maruhoshi smiled gently, and spoke in admiration.

"I got some feeling." Xia Shu smiled modestly.

"But what you said yesterday, shouldn't be this move?" Maruhoshi Kosuke said with affirmation.

"That's right." Xia Shu had no doubt that Maruyoshi Kosuke's words were conjectures, and immediately nodded and said, "It's another sword technique called 'twisting'."

"Tangle?" Maruhoshi Kosuke raised his eyebrows, his tone slightly surprised.

"Senior Gu Jie heard of it?" Xia Shu was even more surprised.

In the scroll written by the original owner's father, the origin of the three sword techniques recorded is explained.

Feiyu came from a school of swordsmanship known as the Skylark Sect that was destroyed a hundred years ago in the Kingdom of Sichuan. The mother of the original owner was born in the Kingdom of Sichuan.

The entanglement was caused by the fact that the original owner's father met a wandering samurai when he went to the Iron Kingdom to perform a mission, and exchanged money from him for money, and then only practiced at the beginning.

The specific origin of Ni Fu Zhan is unknown, but it was the spoils of war obtained by beheading Yi Yan Yin and Ren.

With this detailed record, Xia Shu had to suspect that the sword technique of "twisting" came from the kingdom of samurai. At this moment, he suddenly heard that Maruhoshi Kosuke's words seemed familiar to him, and he couldn't help being surprised.

"Not really." Maruhoshi Kosuke shook his head first, and then explained: "There are many schools of kendo handed down from ancient times in the ninja world, and some of them follow the ancient way. The depth is the division."

Xia Shu listened quietly, even though he was slightly disdainful about it.

No matter where it is, it is a difficult road for the older generation to accept new things.

But what does this have to do with the Tangled Sword?
As if seeing his doubts, Kosuke Maruhoshi smiled and said, "Don't worry, don't worry."

"Well, senior, please speak slowly." Xia Shu nodded with a gentle face.

"But that was in the past, and now even the Iron Country has set off a new wave of kendo, so if you encounter a warrior from the Iron Country in the future, don't be careless." Maruhoshi Kosuke returned to the topic: "The ancient school The way of the sword focuses on technique, so naturally some techniques for restraining the opponent's weapons have been derived, the so-called 'twisting' sword technique should be one of them!"
