Konoha's Trench Jie Ninja

"I said mistress, do you want to come hang out with me?"

In a slightly old kendo gym, Feng Ye's head suddenly appeared on a window on the side of the gym and shouted to Mifune who was still practicing inside.

Just before, by telling Mifune a few flaws that Sakumo had discovered before, Fengye easily gained Mifune's favor and became his friend, and now lives in his gym.

Although he seems to be a bit rigid, after a short period of getting along, Fengye discovered that Mifune was indeed a good person, simple, kind, and reliable. This made him full of affection for Mifune, especially when he thought of Mifune's achievements in the future, he felt that Mifune was a good person. He couldn't help but have the idea of ​​taking in three ships.

Glancing slightly sideways at Feng Ye, Mifune turned his head back indifferently.

"I won't go with you, and don't call me mistress."

"Okay mistress."

Mifune......

Ignoring Fengye anymore, Mifune continued his practice.

"Eleven thousand and one, eleven thousand and two..."

Waving the sword in his hand again and again, sweat fell from Mifune's forehead bit by bit. It was obvious that his body was close to the limit, so that the hand holding the sword was constantly shaking, but he was still there. gritted his teeth and persisted.

Quietly looking at Mifune who was practicing in front of him, Fengye tilted his head and thought about something: "It's so late, why don't you rest? Let me tell you, you don't need to be so harsh on yourself. Since I came to you, You are almost either practicing or on the road to practice every day. Can your body bear it if this goes on..."

"call"

"No problem, I know my own body..."

After breathing hard for a moment, Mifune responded firmly.

"I don't have time to relax... In fact, I also know that I am a clumsy person and am much slower than others in cultivation, so... the only thing I can do is work harder than others..."

As he spoke, a trace of reminiscence flashed in Mifune's eyes.

"My teacher said that diligence can make up for clumsiness. Although I am indeed a little clumsy, as long as I work hard, I will definitely catch up with the footsteps of those geniuses and become a strong person..."

As Ibana spoke, Mifune seemed to gain some strength again, and continued to grit his teeth and wave the knife in his hand.

Maple Night......

Watching this scene silently, Feng Ye couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

Sure enough, everyone who can become a strong person is not simple.

Is Mifune's talent bad? It's probably bad, at least not good. Putting aside his physical ability, speaking of sword skills alone, he may be really average. Just like Sakumo's evaluation of him, his sword skills are clumsy and his reactions are slow.

A few years later, he fought against Hanzo in the Ninja World War. He must have been in his 30s by then. Facing Hanzo, he was almost defeated instantly. This was because Hanzo did not use psychic beasts or other abilities, but only used sword skills. in the case of.

Such strength is simply unworthy of Mifune's desperate efforts. Compared with ordinary people, Mifune's strength is certainly not lower, but this is really the result of decades of hard work on himself bit by bit. This kind of In terms of talent, it might be too much to say it's bad, but it's really mediocre.

Thinking about Sakumo, who is younger than him and uses swords, he can use sword skills to threaten the entire ninja world in his early twenties and kill countless strong men. How can the difference between this be explained clearly in a sentence or two? , In fact, even if you don’t count geniuses like Sakumo, there are too many other geniuses who are better than him.

Ordinary people, faced with such a situation, would probably relax. Since they can't see the possibility of progress, why treat themselves so harshly.

At least it was Feng Ye himself who was Mifune. He felt that he couldn't do this. He obviously couldn't see the opportunity for improvement. He obviously watched one after another juniors who were younger than him easily surpassing him, but he still continued to do it day after day. Treat yourself harshly, just for the chance of becoming a truly strong person...

In the end, he probably succeeded. Thinking that Mifune would become a late bloomer in the future and become a general of the Iron Kingdom and a rare shadow-level strongman, Feng Ye was inexplicably moved, although he didn't know what happened. But it must be an inspiring story.

"Hey, mistress"

"Um"

"I think your teacher is right. You will definitely become a great and powerful person in the future."

Mifune was slightly stunned. Looking at Feng Ye's eyes without any impurities at this moment, he could feel Feng Ye's sincerity when he said this.

"He really thinks I can become a strong person..."

Mifune was inexplicably moved. In fact, even he himself didn't feel that he could really go further. Samurai ninjas and warriors often develop their strength early, and those who are really talented should have shown it long ago. He has already reached this age. He hasn't taken that step yet. In theory, this is probably his limit. The reason why he is still persisting is probably just because... he doesn't want to give up.

Not wanting to give up, it was such a simple reason that supported him to keep moving forward.

"Hey, I think so too." Mifune responded to Fengye with a rare smile.

"I also feel that I will become a truly strong person."

As he spoke, Mifune vigorously waved the katana in his hand again.

No matter how clumsy the knife is, as long as you persist, you will eventually gain invincible power.
