Shadow of the Wood

Chapter 30Weapons

A gust of wind blows across the sea. On an unfinished bridge extending from the coast, busy people are working. Although they are noisy, they all have happy smiles on their faces, removing the threat. The bridge was built for their own country, and the faces of the people of the country of Waves were full of joy that was rarely seen in the past.

Standing in the crowd, Dazner drew with his pen and directed the work of the people around him, looking very proud. Now there is no need for him to build the bridge himself.

At this time, if ordinary people look at the sea below the bridge, they will be shocked, because Asma and Shikamaru are standing on the sea at this time, as if they are stepping on land instead of sea water .

The tenth squad took over the task of protecting Dazna until the completion of the bridge construction. Although Kaduo had been killed, just in case—or in keeping with his duties—Dazna was on the construction site of the bridge. However, the tenth class will still send people to follow him in turn-in fact, Shikamaru is mainly in charge, because Ino and Choji are still practicing climbing trees carefully.

Although at the bridge, you can also use the method of climbing the bridge to practice, but compared with stone, trees are more fragile and have higher requirements for the release of chakra, and Choji and Ino are also very envious of Shikamaru when he climbs trees. The performance of lifting weights is light, so he often stays in the woods to practice. In contrast, Shikamaru's practice is not at all rigid about the location. The task of protecting Dazna is naturally arranged by him.

"No way!" Asma straightened up, looked at Shikamaru who was holding Kunai upside down with both hands, chest out and back, posing the same Taijutsu opening gesture as Asma, and said with a frown.

"What's the matter, Teacher Asma?" Hearing this, Shikamaru couldn't help frowning, stood up straight, and asked with some doubts: "Is there anything wrong with my movements?" Although he had confidence in his talent , but he is not so arrogant that he thinks that his ability to understand taijutsu has surpassed that of Jonin who has experienced many battles.

"No," Asma heard Shikamaru's question, shook her head, and explained, "It's about the weapon."

The advantage of kunai is that it is easy to carry and can be used as a flying prop. Before chakra appeared, it could also be used as a climbing tool, and its use method is more inclined to hidden weapons, which is not conducive to frontal combat. Therefore, the kunai's role , In fact, for today's ninjas, it has begun to gradually decrease. Except for ninjas who have unique fighting styles and basically do not need to use ninja lethality to deal with the enemy, no ninja will choose it as the main weapon.

Take the slashing attack against knives as an example, even if it is blocked, Kunai doesn't even have a handguard, unlike knives such as Taidao or Dao Dao.

Throwing utensils can be replaced by shurikens, and climbing and other uses are not a problem for ninjas. Ninjas who are proficient in physical arts, or whose fighting style tends to be close-to-hand combat often choose a set of main weapons. Used in frontal combat.

"Wait a minute." After thinking for a while, Asma took out "Feiyan" from the ninja bag, put it on his hand, and said to Shikamaru: "Use kunai on me to simulate the chopping action of the knife .”

Shikamaru nodded when he heard the words, grabbed the handle of Kunai with both hands awkwardly, separated his legs slightly one after the other, lifted Kunai up, took a step forward, and slashed towards Asma forcefully.

"Crack!" Asma raised her right hand, a row of saw-toothed grooves on the face of "Feiyan" just caught Shikamaru's Kunai, and then saw Asma follow the trend, Shikamaru's Kunai He was taken away, the center of gravity was shifted, and many flaws were exposed in the body. If it was a real battle, and Shikamaru used a much longer knife than Kunai, this would be fatal enough.

"Come again!" Asma didn't continue to attack, and after Shikamaru stood still, she spoke again.

Shikamaru frowned, he was a little absent-minded just now, although it was for practice, but being so easily deflected by Asma's attack opened up his own empty door, and he was a little unwilling, after listening to Asma's words, Can't help cheering up.

Shikamaru took a deep breath, stepped forward suddenly, raised Kunai high, and slashed down fiercely, but in the process, he suddenly turned his body halfway, turned his right arm backwards, bent his forearm, and held Kunai upside down.

"Small turn? Curved arm backhand sword?" Seeing Shikamaru's sudden change of move, Asma couldn't help but smile slightly: "It's really strong!"

Although Shikamaru is still doing the downward chop, but with the movement of standing obliquely and holding the kunai backwards, even if the enemy blocks it after the downward chop, he can quickly withdraw and then hand out the kunai to stab the enemy again. This is the essence of swordsmanship. One of the tricks, at this time Shikamaru is using it on Kunai who is more flexible and underestimated, and the speed will definitely be higher. It is not so easy for Asma to use the attack just now to deflect him.

Asma took a step forward, still using the jagged grooves on the "Feiyan" to resist Shikamaru's Kunai, but at the moment of contact, "Feiyan" was suddenly covered by a light blue light.

The light blue light above the "Feiyan" was fleeting, and with a crisp click, the place where Kunai in Shikamaru's hand touched the "Feiyan" was broken open, and the surrounding area was already It was full of cracks, and although it hadn't broken, it was obviously unusable for fighting.

"This is... Chakra of the wind attribute?" Shikamaru retracted Kunai with a surprised expression, and carefully observed the cracks on it. He didn't pay too much attention to the small sawtooth on Asma's "Flying Swallow". Yes, I didn’t expect this kind of usefulness. The extremely sharp wind attribute chakra is sent out from both sides of the sawtooth, which can just cut off the blade stuck in the groove in an instant. Shikamaru just used a replaceable kunai. The most important thing is to have unreplaceable weapons such as tachi or ninja swords. With just this surprise, the enemy's main weapon will be quickly scrapped, and Asma can use this to gain part of the advantage in the battle.

"Your chakra is not of the wind attribute, so this trick can't be used." Asma shook his head regretfully, his physical skills combined with the wind attribute chakra blade, the lethality and destructive power are amazing, so we can't help it. Fear of a frontal charge, but Shikamaru can't do it.

Asma took "Feiyan" from her fingers, handed it to Shikamaru, and said: "Ninjas who are good at melee combat basically choose or make a main weapon according to their own style and expertise, and you should also Do it, for you, the suffering is no longer applicable."

"The serrations can protect the fingers, and when my wind attribute chakra gets stuck on the weapon, it can also destroy the contact parts," Asma pointed at "Feiyan" with her head down, explaining to Shikamaru one by one: "This chakra Metal can match my wind attribute chakra to form an extremely sharp chakra blade, whether it is melee or thrown, it can greatly increase the lethality... If you want to choose a weapon, you must be able to choose one that suits you Combat style, so that it can exert more power."

Shikamaru observed "Feiyan", just as Asma said, this "Feiyan" is in line with Asma's ability in terms of material and style, and can exert greater power.
