Konoha Thief

Chapter 90 Apprenticeship
After that day, Natsuki began basic training in swordsmanship under the guidance of Komaruyoshi Kosuke.

But before that, he first learned the technique of unloading force in the selection, and initially mastered it.

When he brought this up, Maruyoshi Kosuke was a little surprised, and asked him why, after all, if he had to rebuild the basics of swordsmanship, all the swordsmanship he had mastered would be a hindrance.

"What you have is what you have." Xia Shu said with a sly smile: "Rebuilding the foundation is a long-term career. Learning how to unload strength can directly cross this hurdle. It seems to be a conflict, but it may not be impossible to parallel. "

"Hehe! It's very cunning, but it's indeed the way of the ninja." After hearing this, Kosuke Maruhoshi nodded in admiration.

"Maybe this is my ninja way." Xia Shu said casually with a smile.

……

"Unloading force is a skill that requires practice to make perfect. Now, let's experience it first."

In the center of the training ground, Kosuke Maruyoshi raised his wrist slightly, and raised the long and narrow blade in his hand, signaling that the boy standing opposite him would attack at will.

Xia Shu nodded solemnly, exerted force on his feet, and swung the knife to stab forward!

Unloading force, of course, must be touched. Compared with vertical chopping and horizontal chopping, the contact of straight stabbing is undoubtedly the narrowest.

"Hehe!" Seeing this, Kosuke Maruyoshi smiled, but he didn't blame him. He just raised his wrist slightly, and pressed down with the knife, as if he was about to stab straight, but stopped halfway.

Ding!
The narrow and short ninja blade accurately met Lan Yingdao, and the blades bit each other with force, but it only lasted for a short moment.

Maruyoshi Kosuke retreated half a step, his shoulders moved back, and the ninja sword in his hand followed closely, pulling a little distance away.

A sense of weightlessness under the knife was born for no reason, Xia Shu's eyes widened, and before he could react, the short knife held by Maruhoshi Kosuke trembled a few times, and suddenly slashed towards him!
Ding!
The clear sound of the blade hitting was accompanied by sparks blooming, and a powerful force was immediately introduced into Natsuki's hands, and the ninja knife was released from his hand, and it was lifted into the air!

Chi! ~

Lan Ying knife pierced into the ground, eliminating the slight aftershock.

The narrow ninja sword flickered, and it was held in his hand. Kosuke Maruyoshi put away his steps and stood in the middle of the training ground, looking ordinary.

Lifting his eyes from the ninja knife inserted into the ground, he asked softly, "Do you have any feelings?"

"It's a deep feeling!" Xia Shu grinned, shaking and clenching his fists to ease the numbness in his palms.

"Then let's talk about it." Maruhoshi Kosuke said cheerfully.

Xia Shu pulled out the ninja knife, held it in his palm with a trembling wrist, and made gestures according to what he felt just now, but he couldn't do it after all, and shook his head helplessly.

"In the knife just now, senior first used the brakes to catch my deliberate straight stab, and after a moment of contact, he guided my strength to lose, and the resulting weightlessness made me lose my balance, while senior I took the opportunity to counterattack..." When he said this, Xia Shu paused for a moment, and then said in a guessing tone: "The counterattack, if I guessed correctly, actually borrowed my power by chance?"

"That's right, this is also the use of unloading skills." Kosuke Maruyoshi admired, "I didn't expect you to notice this, but..."

"But what?" Xia Shu breathed slightly and said nervously.

"Hehe! But in this knife, apart from demonstrating the technique of unloading force, there is really no other purpose, but I didn't expect you to feel so much." Maruyoshi Kosuke shook his head and laughed, and then affirmed: "This keen insight is quite helpful to the practice of swordsmanship."

"Eh? I figured it out subconsciously, hahaha!" After hearing this, Xia Shu's eyes twitched, and he had to grin and scratch his head, pretending to be innocent.

"Alright, since that's the case, then we can start." Maruyoshi Kosuke's voice fell, and the light of the knife suddenly cut across the air.

"What?!" Xia Shu was stunned, suddenly his hairs stood on end, and subconsciously raised the Ninja Sword in his palm.

Ding!
As if he was struck by lightning, the Lanying Knife was released from his hand again, lifted into the air, and plunged straight into the ground with exhausted strength.

At the same time, Kosuke Maruhoshi's ninja knife had pierced his coat, making his skin feel the shuddering chill.

Xia Shu tensed all over, then relaxed again, looking up at the opposite side.

"This is the first lesson." Withdrew his ninja sword, Maruyoshi Kosuke took a step back, stood with his hands behind his back, but said in a solemn voice: "Enemy attacks are always caught off guard. Be cautious!"

"I understand, senior!" Xia Shu also nodded solemnly in response.

Even though this kind of teaching is commonplace, it is undoubtedly the deep concern and expectation of the elders.

"Senior? Hehe, if you don't mind that I'm just a ninja, you can call me..."

"Master!" Xia Shu's eyes lit up, and even his heart beat faster.

From the day I got in touch with Kosuke Maruyoshi, a certain idea was born, and then I showed my talent intentionally or unintentionally, just for this moment!

Therefore, even though the two lives are human beings, they are still a little impatient.

"Eh? Hahaha!" Kosuke Maruhoshi was taken aback for a moment, then raised his head and laughed freely.

Maruhoshi Kosuke's hearty laughter made Natsuki involuntarily infected, so he couldn't help but smile with joy, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

The autumn wind is still bleak, wrapped in dead leaves, making a rustling sound, which looks extraordinarily bleak.

However, in such a situation, the laughter tore up the sense of desolation.

Xia Shu finally got what he wanted, in this world, he hugged a thigh that was not ostentatious but also thick!

"You call me Master Sheng, but I have nothing to give you as a master. I have nothing to give you, so I have to teach me my superficial skills. Are you willing to accept it?" Kosuke Maruhoshi smiled softly. said.

"Master, I don't dare to refuse!" Xia Shu said in a serious tone, afraid he couldn't help laughing, so he laughed immediately: "Besides, master, it's too modest to be so shallow."

"If there is a chance, I will tell you about this again." Maruyoshi Kosuke smiled when he heard the words, swung his knife to pick up the Lanying knife stuck on the ground, and threw it at the young man. He held up the knife slightly, put on a posture, and said: " Now, come and confront me again!"

Xia Shu took a deep breath and exhaled slightly, adjusted his body, suddenly kicked his feet, no longer playing tricks, and rushed straight up.

The blades collided, and sparks burst out. Xia Shu first kept attacking, and then quickly exchanged offense and defense.

In the simple confrontation, Kosuke Maruhoshi showed his skillful swordsmanship, putting Natsuki at a disadvantage, and gradually became more difficult.

Maruyoshi Kosuke drew out his sword, and said: "Just now you tried gestures, but you couldn't find the right way. The reason is that fantasy can't get feedback, and if you want to practice the method of unloading force, you have to experience it yourself. .”

Listening to the teaching words, Xia Shu gritted his teeth and persisted, and gradually took a few steps back, and at the moment when his wrist was about to lose the strength transmitted by the ninja sword and felt a sense of 'emptiness', he felt it!
　Thank you for the reward of 1000 coins for 100 years and Mengbujue, thank you!
