Konoha's Ninja Successor

"Welcome everyone back to the Warrior Conference! The final moment of competition has arrived! There will be a duel between sixteen warriors to determine the final ranking and championship. Who will receive the meteorite and the highest glory in the end? Please wait and see!"

"Sixteen samurai will compete in pairs according to the arrangement. The winner will directly enter the next top four duel, and then continue to compete in pairs until the champion is confirmed. This will test the will and strength of the samurai. I hope you can all perform well. Use all your strength!"

"Then! The samurai conference continues!" Dai Dao shouted loudly, and the atmosphere of the samurai conference became lively again.

There are still four arenas as the main battle arena. The warriors whose names are called will take the stage at the same time for a one-on-one duel, so the top four warriors can be decided in two rounds. This warrior conference is really fast-paced. Every trace of procrastination.

Among the people whose names were called in the first round, Shimura Teru was not there, so Shimura Teru also watched the game in the audience. His eyes were on the duel on the second court, because there was one person in this duel that he was interested in. That person is Luqiu who made a bet with Shimura Teru.

"Scene [-], Sato Arata vs. Luqiu! The contestants come on stage!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a young warrior couldn't wait to jump onto the ring. There were four weapons placed under the red armor. He obviously imitated the dressing style of the honorary warriors of the General's Palace.

Luqiu walked silently from the steps to the ring. Compared to the former's arrogance, he seemed very calm.

The samurai tournament has an age limit, which cannot exceed 30 years old, so the people here are all samurai from the younger generation.Warriors with a calm temperament like Luqiu are indeed relatively rare.

"Sato Arata, I'm looking forward to the duel with you!" Sato Arata put his hand on his main sword and took the lead in saying his name. It is a basic etiquette for samurai to exchange numbers in a duel. Sato Arata's face Shang also showed a warlike expression.

"My name is Luqiu, and I look forward to your outstanding martial arts..." Luqiu said, still looking melancholy and unable to lift his spirits.

What Luqiu used was the ancient language of the samurai, which made Sato Nitta stunned. After all, there are very few samurai who still use the ancient language. Luqiu's words actually broke up the momentum that Sato Nitta had finally brewed.

"Weird guy... I first came to the Kingdom of Iron just to join the Honorable Warriors. I'm sorry, but you will stop here." Sato Nitta lowered his waist and hips, his eyes turned cold, and then he pressed his right hand on the handle of the sword and held it with his left hand. Lived the scabbard.

Luqiu was slightly startled. He saw that the opponent was using the initial move of Drawing the Sword Technique. What he didn't expect was that someone would actually perform Drawing the Sword Technique in front of him?

There are many schools of drawing swords, but most of them are very similar. Drawing swords can also be called Iai-slash. Its core idea is to "kill with one strike". It uses instant high-speed drawing attacks to surprise the enemy. of blow.

Mifune of the Iron Kingdom was a master of this sword technique, and Lu Qiu, who was equivalent to being a student of Mifune, was naturally very good at this technique, so in his opinion, the opponent's sword drawing technique seemed a bit ridiculous.

"In this case, I will show my shame..." Luqiu also bent down like Sato Nitta and made the same movement.

The Iai Sword uses the unique curve of the katana. Pulling the sword out of the scabbard can indeed have the same effect as a bow string shooting a bow and arrow, accumulating energy and then exploding it.

Iai is a technique that focuses on combining attack and defense.While ensuring a certain degree of lethality, the blade swung from the bottom up can block most attacks such as slashing and slashing.

And the two of them attack the enemy by drawing their swords and slashing at the same time. This is to test the speed of the sword wielder and judge the accuracy of the sword's power.

If you miss a hit, you are likely to fall into a very passive situation.

If your prepared movements are not as good as your opponent's, even a little slower, you may lose.

Mifune briefly looked at Luqiu and his opponent and drew their swords, and in an instant he could tell the outcome, "Luqiu won..."

The man with a knife on the side also nodded slightly, his eyes full of sigh: "This child seems to be born for the knife."

Shimura Teru, on the other hand, does not need to understand the gestures of both sides. He can feel who is stronger and whose aura is more stable. As soon as Sato Arata comes on the stage, he knows that Luqiu is going to win.

Although Sato Arata's strength is not weak, Luqiu's strength is above him.

Sato Arata didn't know that so many people thought he was destined to lose. He showed an arrogant smile. In his opinion, it was stupid for the other party to choose to use the same sword-drawing technique to fight against his own sword-drawing technique.

For samurai who use the Iai Sword, the duel will be instantaneous. Choosing the draw sword duel will undoubtedly make themselves more embarrassed.

One strike of the sword determines victory or defeat.

A breeze blew by, and a fallen leaf slowly fell from between the two of Luqiu. The moment the leaf fell to the ground, Sato Arata's eyes suddenly lit up.

Sato Arata noticed the movement of Luqiu preparing to use the sword, and this movement revealed a flaw. He also seized this moment, and sure enough, he used the sword: "Iai Slash!"

The white sword light bloomed in Sato Arata's scabbard instantly, and a white straight line flashed past. Looking at Luqiu's seemingly unresponsive appearance, Sato Arata seemed to have seen the moment of his victory.

But the reality was exactly the opposite. An even faster white light caught up behind him, aiming at Sato Nitta's long sword. The moment it was suspended in the air, it directly hit the weak point in the middle of the long sword.

Clang! ! ! !

In Sato Arata's stunned eyes, the katana in his hand was cut into two pieces, and then he realized that his attack had been perfectly seen by the opponent.

"Iai Slash..." Luqiu's expression remained calm as he softly said the name of the move.

Sato Arata fell to the ground with a faint trace of blood on his forehead. He touched the blood on his forehead and realized that if Luqiu hadn't been merciful just now, he would have been dead.

He underestimated everyone in the world, but Sato Nitta was still strong in his heart, and his belief was not cut off by such an amazing Iai Slash.

Sato Nitta's eyes regained his determination, and he immediately retracted his dagger, bowed to Luqiu and said, "Thank you for your mercy, I will re-sharpen my sword skills, and I will definitely defeat you in the future!"

After saying that, Sato Arata turned around and stepped off the stage. The loser was no longer qualified to stand on the stage.

Luqiu wordlessly sheathed the knife and turned away. He collected himself without saying a word. He looked directly at Shimura Teru in the distance as if he was feeling something, with a hint of murderous intent and extremeness in his eyes.

Shimura Teru saw Luqiu's eyes that remained fixed for a moment, and secretly said, "Sure enough... those are the eyes of an avenger immersed in darkness."

However, Shimura Teru didn't take Luqiu seriously. Although what Luqiu showed just now was not his full strength, Shimura Teru was only slightly surprised by his Iai Slash. In terms of strength, the gap between them was too big.

Just no pressure.

"The next match will be between Ximen Fubuki and Aoi Gucheng."
