Uchiha's Blade

Mana went to learn tennis knowledge in the afternoon.

It sounds like learning, but in fact it’s just sitting on the edge of the field and watching.

She already has a very good foundation in Taijutsu, and with the Sharingan, just seeing is enough.

Mana sits on the edge of the field and watches, which will inevitably attract the attention of others.

People from Qingxue gathered together and whispered: "Sister Mana is looking at it very seriously. She seems to want to play tennis."

Fuji Shusuke smiled and said, "Then we can fight with her for a while while we rest."

So everyone curiously asked Muichiro Tokitoru: "Can Mana-san know how to play tennis?"

Muichiro Tokitoru said: "I didn't know how to do it before today."

He frowned slightly in his heart. In fact, he didn't really like the title 'Sister Mana'. He felt it was too intimate, but he couldn't think of a way to object directly.

——It would be great if Uchiha Itachi was here, he could always come up with a solution to this kind of thing.

Mana looked at Tokidou Muichiro for a while, then went to see the Uchiha genius boy.

Uchiha Itachi is now training with Hyokui's people.

To be honest, compared to others, Uchiha Itachi's attitude in basic training was too relaxed.

Not only in terms of physical strength, but also in terms of speed, endurance, agility, strength, etc., he has excellent performance in all aspects.

This made Atobe Keigo, as the minister, look at Uchiha Itachi eagerly.

Humph, not only Qingxue has talented newcomers this year, Ice Emperor is not bad either!

Muichiro Tokitoru's tennis combines swordsmanship and breathing techniques, and has quite distinctive characteristics. Naturally, Itachi Uchiha couldn't add ninjutsu to the tennis, otherwise it would be hard to tell whether the result would be a tennis ball or a fire ball.

Of course, as an Uchiha, Mana also saw that the trajectory of Uchiha Itachi's serve actually coincided with the technique of shuriken. It always appeared at the angle that was most difficult for the opponent to deal with, which made catching the ball played by Uchiha Itachi a problem. This is a very uncomfortable thing. Even if you can catch it, you will always feel that your hands are tied and awkward. The angle is very unfavorable for the opponent to exert force.

And if Uchiha Itachi exerts more force in actual combat, it will be even harder to deal with.

Mana has no doubt that if a sport like tennis could hit many balls at once, the opponent would lose without even being able to see the shadow of the ball.

Making a mental gesture, Zhenna nodded: "Tennis isn't too difficult."

Because her foundation is indeed very good.

When everyone finished training, Mana ran to Tokitou Muichiro: "Muichiro, I already understand the rules of tennis. I will help you modify the skills you mentioned later. In fact, the problem is not that big. Muichiro is already very good, it’s just a small problem, just make some changes and it will be fine.”

She stretched out two fingers to mark a small distance.

Muichiro Tokitou nodded: "Well, I think it's just a little bit off, but I haven't been able to find a clue."

As a result, it was indeed the highest-level Sharingan known so far. It only took a while to see the problem.

Muichiro Tokitoru said: "Mana is so awesome."

Although he usually seems cold and taciturn, he is always warm and enthusiastic towards the people he likes, and he is not stingy with any verbal praise.

So everyone in Qingxue saw their super cold little genius smiling at Mana with crooked eyes, which was very cute.

Fujisuke touched his chin: "It seems like they have a good relationship as brother and sister."

Ah, when I talk about this, I can't help but think of my troubled brother at home.

Although he had been called a 'genius' before, Fuji knew very well that a talent like Muichiro Tokitoru might truly be called a genius. It stands to reason that with such a genius brother, as the younger one, Mana should It would be better if he was burdened with more shadows and pressure, but Fujisuke couldn't see any of this on Mana's face.

No, in the interaction between Mana and Muichiro Tokitou, Mana not only did not feel the slightest bit overwhelmed by the genius, but also revealed strong self-confidence in every aspect. There was even a vague atmosphere between the two of them that Mana was in charge of everything, Muichiro Tokitou On the contrary, he lost to her in this aspect. He was very obedient and placed himself in a slightly lower position, looking up at her.

Ah, it would be great if my relationship with Yuta could be as good as this...

Yuta always seemed a little awkward towards him.

Is this the difference between siblings and brothers?

Gan Sadaharu's head popped up from the side: "You are so interested in them, did you find something?"

Fuji Shusuke still had his usual smile: "Well, I just think their brother-sister relationship is really good."

"That's not certain," Inui Sadaharu pushed up his glasses: "Tokitoru can say that that's not his sister, but his brother."

Fuji Shusuke seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly realized: "So that's it, not brother and sister, but the relationship between brother and sister?"

Yes, his relationship with his brother will always be a bit awkward, but his relationship with his sister will be much better.

Is this the original reason?

Maybe he's not so good at being an older brother, but better at being a younger brother?

Looking at Muichiro Tokitoru who treats Mana like an older brother even though he is older, Fuji Shusuke feels that he has found a solution to the problem of brotherhood!

Send a message to Yuta later!

He can be the younger brother, and Yuta can be the older brother—sister, too!

After thinking about this problem, Fuji Shusuke suddenly felt in a good mood. He walked to Tokitou Muichiro with a grateful heart: "Didn't you say before that you want Sister Mana to play with you for a while? No one is using the venue now. Tokitou, you Do you want to go there?"

Tokito Muichiro was a little confused: "Senior?"

Fuji Shusuke usually has a smiling face, but Tokitou Muichiro knows that he is actually not easy to get close to. He always keeps a just right distance from others. It is not very strange to suddenly insert into the conversation between him and Mana like this. It's like something Fujijusuke would do.

Mana was not polite at all: "Yes, Muichiro, let's go try it. Although I have seen it, it is better to actually try it."

Tokito Muichiro immediately nodded obediently: "Yes, Mana is right."

Fuji Shusuke:"……"

Ah... you really want to be a well-behaved and cute little brother, right?

Mana didn't have her own racket, so Tokidou Muichiro gave her his spare racket.

Fuji Shusuke reminded: "Tokitoru's racket may not be easy for Sister Mana to use. Girls' rackets can be borrowed from Coach Ryuzaki."

Coach Ryuzaki also brought Ryuzaki Sakurano with him to help with some chores, and he could borrow a racket.

After all, although Muichiro Tokitou looks like a slender boy, in fact, his strength is no worse than any of the chosen ones.

Even though Muichiro Tokitou is not known for his strength among the members of the Demon Slayer Corps, being able to cut off a ghost's head easily means that his strength itself is beyond the level of ordinary people. After all, cutting off a ghost's head is no better than cutting a stone. You have to save effort, and Twelve Ghost Moon's heads are especially difficult to chop off.

After hearing this, Manai waved the racket in his hand: "No problem, I'm just trying it out, I don't need to choose a racket specifically."

There is no right to be picky about weapons on the battlefield. I just use whatever is handy, I have long been used to it.

As she said this, she walked to the other side of the court.

Fuji Shusuke said to Tokitoru Muichiro: "Give me some concessions to my sister...brother. This is her first time playing tennis, right? A pleasant experience is more important than victory or defeat."

Muichiro Tokitou once again regained his familiar expression, nodded slightly, and said slowly: "Mana is very powerful."

Fuji Shusuke suddenly felt helpless. He wanted to persuade, but he didn't know how to explain to Muichiro Tokitou. In the end, he had to watch Muichiro Tokitou walk across from Mana.

He thought for a moment and didn't leave at all. Seeing that he looked very interested in watching the game, the others simply stayed too.

...After all, one of the two people on the field is Qingxue's little genius.

However, the result was completely beyond everyone's expectations.

Mana served first. Originally, everyone thought that as a novice who had never touched tennis before, Mana would be very good if he could hit the ball over the net. Who has not experienced the embarrassment of not having the ball pass the net as a novice?

However, Mana's ball was very fast, and she could almost hear a very slight sound of breaking through the air, as if someone blew a whistle gently. The next second, the ball that she slowly raised her hand to hit had already appeared in the air. Tokitoru Muichiro's side.

Of course Tokitoru Muichiro would not miss so easily. He turned around and caught the ball quickly, but frowned slightly the moment the tennis ball touched the racket.

This power... even though it could easily cut off the neck of an oni that was harder than a stone, he still felt a little strenuous in the face of this ball. Muichiro Tokidou gritted his teeth, tensed his muscles, and instantly burst out with a huge force. The tennis ball was hit back with greater force, and the landing point and Mana were almost at the opposite ends of the court.

"Ah, this..."

Inui Sadaharu said: "It's impossible for this ball to be caught."

The distance is too far. Even if you arrive in a hurry, it will be difficult to catch such a powerful ball in a hurry. On the contrary, the racket may be knocked out of your hand.

This kind of experience of catching a ball in a hurry, only to be unable to hold the racket due to the huge force, has been experienced by half of Seigaku's main players - in the game against Toki Toru Muichiro.

However, Mana's movements were swifter than anyone expected.

She took a small breath.

The breath of Xia, the shape of one, the sky and the distant Xia!

This is the piercing skill of Kasumi's Breath. It is also very effective when used as a displacement skill. However, this move was originally used in conjunction with the Nichirin Sword. Muichiro Tokitou also incorporated it into his tennis, but he was never able to To achieve perfection, he always felt that there was a certain stagnation between movement transitions. It might be difficult for others to detect, but he knew that Mana's Sharingan would definitely be able to see it.

Therefore, when Mana used similar moves, he watched Mana's movements carefully.

Breath of Kasumi, Three Types, Spray of Kasumi

Kasumi's Breath·Seven Types·Hazy

One is a large-scale slashing attack, and the other is a body technique that is constantly changing like a cloud of light. It combines these two characteristics at the same time. Muichiro Tokitou has never made such an attempt before, but Mana has indeed done it. arrive.

It's just that her actions have gone beyond the scope of tennis, because from a tennis perspective, her actions are very weird.

Of course, if the rules didn't prohibit it, of course she could do it.

Mana caught the ball, but while catching it, the small yellow ball seemed to be swallowed up by smoke and slowly disappeared from sight. It was not until Mana waved the racket that the smoke seemed to be suddenly chopped off. Disappeared.

But her movements looked more like she was swinging the racket in the air, and there was no feeling of hitting the target at all.

"Ah! There!"

The small yellow ball suddenly appeared at the feet of Tokitoru Muichiro as if teleporting, spinning quickly and quietly, like smoke gathering and dispersing without a trace of sound.

Tokito Muichiro blinked: "I seem to... understand a little bit."

Tennis is just tennis. The movements and standards of the program are not set up for him. As long as it is within the rules, he can do whatever he wants without being bound by previous experience.

Among the people gathered by Seigaku, Inui Sadaharu took out a pen and took notes quickly while asking Ryoma Echizen, who was also watching: "How was it? Did you see Sister Mana's goal?"

The beautiful glow and silent mist still seemed to remain in Echizen Ryoma's big cat eyes: "I only saw light."

After a pause, he added: "That girl, her tennis skills are very similar to Toki Toru's."

No, rather than saying that he is like Muichiro Tokitou, it is better to say that he is Muichiro Tokitou.

A Muichiro Tokitou who is more mature, has sharper senses, and is more powerful.

Fuji Shusuke found a more appropriate way of saying it: "It's as if Tokitoru will come back one day in the future to fight against his immature self."

Mana waved to Muichiro Tokitoru: "Do you want to continue?"

If it were anyone else, Mana might have asked this after spending more time, but for Tokidou Muichiro, she was very confident and felt that what she had just said was enough.

Muichiro Tokito nodded: "Well, I have an idea."

As Mana walked over and handed the racket to him, he asked, "Do you want me to practice with you later?"

Tokito Muichiro laughed: "Well, then I'll trouble you!"

He has a cute smile and his tone is so sweet!

Zhenna couldn't help but rub his head: "Then let's go back first. You guys have to do your homework tonight, right? I remember there are still people who need tutoring?"

Muichiro Tokitou said: "The homework is not urgent for the time being. There is not much left. I don't need tutoring. My grades are enough."

Mana immediately praised him: "Muichiro is awesome!"

Muichiro Tokitoru opened his eyes and smiled crookedly: "Then let's practice at night."

Everyone trains during the day and studies at night.

...After all, they are still junior high school students. It is true that tennis is their favorite sport, but they cannot completely ignore their grades, otherwise the school and parents will not be able to justify it.

Muichiro Tokitou thought for a while and asked: "Today's... is not just the Sharingan, right? Itachi's Mangekyo can probably do it."

However, due to the side effects of the Mangekyo Sharingan, Itachi Uchiha could not use this ability without any scruples like Mana, and Muichiro Tokitou could not bear to let his friends risk losing their eyes early to help him.

Mana said: "If I were in the Demon Slayer Corps, it would be a bit difficult for me to do this. At least the time would not be so fast. There should be many reasons for being able to do it now."

She possesses the highest level of evolution of the Sharingan, which makes her Sharingan much stronger than other Sharingans even if the Rinnegan mode is not turned on. Coupled with the increase gained as a king, she can Complete the interpretation and analysis of Tokitoru Muichiro's moves in an instant, and then you can use your rich experience to calculate the appropriate handling method.

They talked happily, but the people watching next to them felt differently.

Inui Sadaharu touched his chin: "It really doesn't look like a younger sister. It's not wrong to say he is an older brother."

It's so easy to do something like touching your head.

Fuji Shusuke said: "Well, I also learned a lot."

For example, the genius brother's skills in getting along with his sister...or his younger brother.

Kikumaru Eiji hesitated and said: "Well, none of you care about whether this is really the first time for Sister Mana to play tennis? She is so amazing!"

They were discussing whether this was Mana's first time contacting tennis. Muichiro Tokitoru, who had put his racket on his back, had already walked over. Hearing this, he said, "This is Mana's first time, but she is very good."

"You mean...do you have the same foundation in swordsmanship as you?"

As for Muichiro Tokitoru's swordsmanship, after he single-handedly defeated all the members of the Kendo Club, the entire Seigaku knew about it.

Muichiro Tokitoru thought for a while: "Mana can do swordsmanship, but she is different from me."

He explained to everyone seriously: "Mana is a very powerful ninja!"

Everyone: "..."

Although we really want to cooperate with you, no one will believe this statement!

If you say it has the inheritance of ancient martial arts, it is more reliable.

Mana's dinner today was still in charge of the Ten Heroes, but compared to the breakfast, which was insufficient in portion, and clearly failed to do intelligence work, and the lunch, which although the portion was sufficient, did not leave an impression on Mana other than being delicious, the dinner was It seems very special.

The portion of dinner was larger than lunch, but it was still enough that Mana could eat. However, apart from that, what made Mana feel special was that the dinner gave up too many unnecessary pursuits of exquisiteness, and instead It is to work on more practical aspects.

What’s even more interesting is that there is also a table for dinner.

"This is... a cost form?"

The dishes are both delicious and beautiful. While ensuring quality, the cost is kept to a minimum. It is also easy to operate and can be easily mastered by ordinary people after a certain amount of training.

And the signature under this form is...

"Etsuyama Ezuya?"

Mana laughed out loud: "This kid is really interesting."

Then she called Nito Hisako: "About this... Eizan Edazuya's child, I want to see him."

Not only are they pursuing her delicious enjoyment and paying attention to her preferences, but more importantly, paying attention to her needs, in this regard, I am afraid that a lot of effort has been put into collecting information.

Of course, compared to the breakfast group, the dinner group has a whole day to collect intelligence, which does have an advantage.

"But to be able to do this, you must not only have a clear understanding of the information, but also have strong confidence in your own vision."

Of course, as a dinner trio, only Etsuya Eizan was named in the end, which inevitably made him look different from the others.

Eizan Edasu himself finally breathed a sigh of relief when he was notified by Nito Hisako. Before that, he had been waiting silently, despite the pressure from his two teammates.

After all, we are all the top ten, and Eizan Edazu is only the ninth one. It is not easy to convince others to follow his plan.

And now...

Eizan Edazu also straightened his collar: "It seems our strategy is correct."

Xiaolin Ringtong said: "Don't relax too early."

She said, pointing to the white ball nestled in the corner: "Our first lesson is not far away."

Originally, Si Yingshi was specially chosen to have a mysterious mission, and everyone was very envious of him.

As a result, in the evening, I saw Si Yingshi come back with red eyes and wet eyes. After he came back, he didn't talk to anyone, and he found a corner to hide himself in a group.

Although Si Yingshi often behaves negatively on weekdays, to be able to torment the first seat like this, what on earth happened!

After glancing at Si Yingshi, Eishan Edazuya's face suddenly became unhappy: "Thank you for reminding me, I will pay attention."

He finally managed to hold on and walked out, but everyone could see that he was walking very stiffly.

However, before Mana could wait for Etsuya Eizan, she met an unexpected visitor.

"Gin?"

The person who came was Gin with long silver hair, wearing a windbreaker and a top hat.

However, Gin's demeanor at this moment made Mana frown slightly: "You don't look... very happy."

Gin said: "Do I look like a young lady who wears a silly smile on her face every day?"

Mana raised her eyebrows: "Miss? You mean Erina? I thought there would be no conflicts between you and her."

Even among all the members of the Mushoku clan, Gin is mysterious. He is a shadow in the darkness, while Erina lives in a bright and bright world, and they have no intersection.

Zhenna turned aside and said, "Come in and talk. I don't think your words are suitable for standing at the door."

Gin strode into the room and glanced at Mana's desktop. Apart from a stack of ninjutsu calculation notes, he could hardly see anything more valuable: "Is this the only reason you came back?"

Mana turned around and walked to the sofa and sat down: "Okay Gin, this is not the only reason why you came to me angrily."

"I'm not angry—"

Meeting Mana's calm eyes, Gin suddenly stopped talking. He paused for a moment, relaxed his tense body with some frustration, and sat opposite Mana: "I just think it's rare for you to come back, and hiding here to have fun is too unprofessional. .”

"I can understand that you are still young and will naturally be interested in these things, but our goals and ambitions do not allow us to be so leisurely."

Mana burst out laughing: "Come on, Gin, put away this face. You are really not suitable for such a teaching role."

As a result, the little warmth on Gin's face quickly faded, and he returned to the silver-haired killer with cold eyes and stern expression that Mana was familiar with.

Only then did Zhenna speak: "Tell me your true purpose and tell me your thoughts."

Gin was silent and didn't speak.

Mana waited quietly for a while, Gin was still like a shadow, cold and silent.

Zhenna sighed: "If you are dissatisfied with me, you can just say it directly. Silence will not be of any use."

"No," Gin said coldly, "I'm not dissatisfied with you at this time."

Mana: "So, you are indeed dissatisfied with me, but you think you shouldn't be so dissatisfied, so you don't know how to express it?"

She raised her hand and poured Gin a cup of black tea. The temperature was just right, and even the whole person felt as harmless as black tea: "If it's not convenient for you to tell me your feelings as a king, Idea, then we can occasionally chat in other identities."

Gin looked at Mana in surprise: "You..."

He rarely saw Uchiha Mana who seemed to be completely softened like this, as if she was really like the gentle wind, the bright light, so gentle, so tolerant, she put away all the edges and corners, making people feel at the first sight of her I couldn't help but let go of all my guard and trust her.

In the past, Gin with such a gentle and harmless temperament had only been seen in Uyashiki Teriya.

Of course, Gin would not say much to Teriya about some things.

Since he has decided to be loyal to the 'king', he will not say anything more to others. He is even secretly wary of Teriya in his heart. The king is absent from time to time. If Teriya has other intentions and cultivates his own power and manpower, Qin Wine doesn’t turn a blind eye.

In fact, he understands people's desires quite well, so he never agrees with Mana's trust in Teriya.

Of course, he was just vigilant, because he never thought that someone like Uchiha Mana would be easily betrayed and subverted.

Uchiha Mana can smile very beautifully, but in essence, the darkness behind those black eyes is deeper than Gin's.

Gin used to think so.

But now, after removing the superficial innocence, what he saw in Zhenna's eyes was no longer those cold and dark things, but instead something warm and soft.

This gave Gin the idea that maybe he had never really understood Uchiha Mana, and he had never really seen through her.

But isn't that why she attracts him?

He was always interested in dangerous things like this.

The corners of Gin's lips raised slightly, with an almost imperceptible arc.

His mood began to improve.

Then he heard Mana Uchiha's voice.

"If it is not convenient for you to express your thoughts to me as a king, then we can occasionally chat in other identities..."

"——You can think of me as your father."

Gin: "..."

The curvature of the corners of his mouth disappeared instantly.

Mana didn't realize it at all. She asked with a soft smile: "Gin, is there anything you want to tell me?"

Gin sneered: "Of course."

"Don't I deserve any of your trust?"

His expression was completely opposite to Mana's, and he didn't intend to have any more patience: "I even betrayed that adult for you, but what about you? My king?"

"Is it me you want, or is it just the black organization?"

This question made Zhenna put away her smile: "As I said from the beginning, I don't care too much about the black organization. All I want is money and connections. Compared with those, you It’s the one I want most.”

"Tell me, what makes you think I don't want you enough? In my opinion, you can be more confident."

Gin said nothing.

Mana felt that she had to get an answer.

"Tell me, be honest with me, Gin."

Her tone became stern, the relaxed atmosphere disappeared, and heavy pressure began to pervade.

But Gin has long admitted that he just likes Uchiha Mana's appearance.

Even when Mana Uchiha's eyes were sharp, the dangerous feeling almost stung people's skin, but he was so excited for her like this that he had almost no resistance at all.

Then Zhenna heard the man on the sofa, who was as dark as the night, spit out a word in a low voice: "Badge."

Mana: "?"
