The great swordsman who started from Konoha

Chapter 196 The Art of Late Strikes First

If this is Gu Long's world at this time, then the painting style should be like this:
I don't know when the door opened,
There was no sun in the sky, and the world was silent. The cold wind blew the dead trees like ghosts dancing.

Mifune stared at Hatake Shinyu who strolled in with all his eyesight.

Hatake Xinyu said loudly: "Your Excellency Mifune, I'm here."

The cold wind continued to howl, but Mifune's words were not heard.

Intuitively, the sword energy strikes people, and the world is full of desolation and chill.

But after all, this is just Gu Long's painting style, and Hatake Xinyu pushed open the door of the dojo, and after walking in, he saw three boats sitting firmly in the dojo, staring at Hatake Xinyu, roaring:

"Quick! Quick! Close the door, I'm freezing to death!"

Seeing that Mifune's thin and old body was really trembling, Hatake Shingu hastily closed the door of the dojo, and the coal stove in the house was roasting for a while, before Mifune stopped shaking and returned to the peace before Hatake Shingu came in.

Hatake Shinyu also walked up to Mifune, sat down on the ground, unloaded the cloud shadow of Yuzhi Village from his waist, and placed it on his right hand, and the two of them entered a moment of tranquility.

But everyone present didn't feel bored, whether it was Shousuke or the defensive samurai, they were actually staring at Hatake Shinyu and Mifune closely.

In a kendo duel, sword skills are just a means. The preparation before the duel and the confrontation before the sword is drawn are equally exciting for those who are proficient in kendo.

And Hatake Shinyu and Mifune are undoubtedly extremely top swordsmen, and the two are really engaged in a heart-to-heart battle at this time, although they have not spoken, and even both of them have closed their eyes.

But everyone is attracted by the two. The breathing rate, the rhythm of the heart and lungs, and every move involving muscles may affect the entire kendo duel, so they don't want to let go of any picture.

There is a saying in Iaido that "do not move your heart". The reason is very simple and easy to understand. Before the two of them formally draw their swords, their hearts are either calm or impetuous, which will affect the keen control of the battle situation.

Speaking of all martial arts, they are all extensions of philosophy. Tai Chi and Jeet Kune, etc. of Hatake Shinyu’s previous life, all have the philosophy behind them as the core concept, and the same is true for Kendo and Iaido.

"Instant victory, late come first!"

This is the common feature of Kendo and Iaido, but what supports this is the spirit of Shido, which is different from Bushido. The spirit of Shido resides in life, and Bushido resides in death.

Therefore, at this stage, both of them put their weapons on the right side to show respect and peace. Although the two may fight for life and death in the next moment, they always need to say peace & love before the battle.

Almost at the same time, Hatake Shinyu and Mifune opened their eyes at the same time, picked up their respective knives with their right hands, held them with their left hands, pinned them into their left waists, slightly lifted the scabbard with their left hand, and held the knife handle with their right hand superior.

The breathing of the spectators also stagnated, for fear of disturbing the duel between the two.

"Shu~"

"Ding~"

The next moment, Mifune twisted his left hand, the blade turned, the blade was facing upwards, he pushed the thumb of his left hand, and pulled out the right hand holding the handle, a cold light burst out, and the sharp blade went straight to Hatake Shinyu's throat.

At the same time, Hatake Shinyu also twisted the blade with his left hand, leaning back slightly.Pull out the saber, and use the slope of the saber to block Ri Sanfune's plan.

Afterwards, Hatake Shinsame's calf exerted strength, and he stood up directly, and then completely pulled out the Umura Cloud Shadow in his hand. This is one of the disadvantages of the tachi, and it will be more disadvantaged in this kind of duel.

Hatake Xinyu held a knife in both hands, guarded in front of his body, and stared at Mifune.At this time, Mifune had also stood up, and Kurosawa had returned to the sheath in his hand, but Hatake Shinyu did not rush to attack.

When dealing with warriors like Sanfuan who have experienced countless battles, one cannot be too careful in the duel, after all, sometimes experience can make up for the gap in strength.

The two moved slowly, Xinyu Hatake was more careful than the last confrontation with Sakumo Hatake, it wasn't that Sakumo Hatake was weaker than Mifune, it was just a difference in fighting style.

Fighting against Hatake Sakumo, you're done with attack against attack, but against an Iaido master like Mifune, every blow may directly determine the outcome.

Mifune's side was also very dignified. He had already clearly felt that even though it was just a clone, Hatake Shinyu's sensitivity and physical functions far surpassed his old bones.

The next blow, if nothing unexpected happens, the two will decide the winner.In fact, if Hatake Xinyu is a swordsman who is accustomed to using swords, and he used swords just now, the outcome may have already been decided.

After all, the last come first, Hatake Xinyu has done this perfectly.

In the dojo at this time, the two were pacing slowly, and the onlookers looked at them nervously. If it were melon-eaters who didn't use swordsmanship, they might question why these two people kept going around in circles .

"Crack!"

"Shu~"

Hatake Xinyu's sudden thrust was Shi Yu's first type of offensive style in Cangyan Style - Axle Rain, and then he dodged and jumped back to open the distance, blood vibration and knife, all in one go.

Mifune, who was maintaining the posture before drawing the sword, suddenly broke out in sweat, and he knew he had lost.

Not only the sense of danger, but also the smooth cut of the clothes on the chest, told Mifune that he was indeed defeated.He was not defeated by Xinyu Hatake's surprise attack, but by the first-mover priority that he had always been proud of.

The reason why Hatake Shingu made a move was because Mifune pushed the sword, causing the arrowhead and the sheath to make a slight sound. Hatake Shingu caught it, and stabbed up at the moment Mifune was concentrating.

Come first.

Mifune, who was highly nervous, knew that he had lost, and his mind was relaxed. He could no longer hold the energy in his body, and he was sweating all over his body.

Chongsuke at the side also saw the way, he really wanted to applaud, after all, Hatake Shinyu's performance was too wonderful, but the one who lost was his old boss and also his teacher.

Chongsuke opened his mouth and closed it again, feeling a little uncomfortable.

However, Mifune did not mediate these concerns, instead, he took the initiative to praise Hatake Xinyu: "Xinyu Lord's swordsmanship is indeed mastered, the sword just now, let alone the current me.

Even with my current experience and my body from 25 years ago, I'm afraid I can't stop it.On the road of kendo, you have left us far behind those of our predecessors.

With the knife just now, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the art of latecomer first comer. "

"Mifune-sama is overrated. Mifune-sama didn't even use Shunpo, and only focused on Iai. This kind of spirit is far beyond my reach."

Hearing Hatake Shinyu's words, Mifune laughed loudly, then stroked the sweat on his forehead, and said: "Today's battle, I have fulfilled my last wish, I only hope that next time you come to the Iron Country, I can still stand Talking to you hahaha."

Hatake Xinyu also let out a hearty laugh, and said: "It is also my great wish to fight against Mifune-sama. At this time, my wish is over, and I don't want to stay any longer. I am leaving. I hope we will see each other soon. .”

Mifune nodded to express his understanding, and then Hatake Shinyu said to Chongsuke: "Chongsuke, please send this sword back to Mr. Muto, I will go first."

After finishing speaking, he handed the Umura Cloud Shadow to Chongsuke who came over, Hatake Shinyu waved his hand, and then detonated the runes in his body with his mind, turning into a puff of smoke.

And the memory of the avatar also returned to Konoha Village, in Hokage's office, listening to the report of Neji and Sasuke in Hatake Shinyu's body.
