Konoha: Who says that hunters can't play in the ninja world?

He dragged the steel rod with one hand, raised his arm, and stuck one end of the steel rod on the ground. He raised the other end of the arm high and crossed it across his chest again, intercepting the beheading sword that was slashing down along the steel rod. Seeing that the interception was successful, he kicked forward with his feet, kicking up the end of the steel rod that was stuck on the ground, and by the way, he neutralized the beheading sword that was intercepting and bounced it back.

This move, which was obviously very effective in disarming the opponent's weapon, was easily resolved by Ichiro.

Zabuza's eyes were serious. He realized one thing, that the boy in front of him might lack experience, but the series of responses just now proved that this kid must have been specially taught this solution by someone, otherwise it could not be explained. How could a move that almost worked in every way be resolved so easily.

"Boy, tell me your name. My beheading sword will not kill nameless people." After retracting the sword, Zabuza asked Ichiro's name very formally. This was the beginning of treating Ichiro as a real opponent.

Ichiro Steel Rod Station replied loudly: "Konoha Genin, Ryuze Ichiro."

Zabuza's bloodshot eyes twitched slightly, which was a sign he would only show when he was emotional. He had never expected that the person who fought back and forth with him was actually a Genin. But thinking back, he accepted the fact that there was a 12-year-old Jonin genius behind him. It was not too much for this simple-minded boy to have such strength.

"Ichiro, don't waste your words on him. He is taking the opportunity to recover." Nobuko didn't care what the two were talking about. The right thing to do was to kill him while he was sick. They started chatting while fighting. What a stupid mistake. Nobuko remembered the sarcastic face of Kazama when they were chatting.

Ichiro's eyes focused, and he jumped up, with the stick following him. Then he turned around and chopped down the steel stick. The members of the sixth team had enough trust in each other. Nobuko reminded him, so Ichiro only needed to respond. He didn't need to think about whether the words were correct, because the hint given to him by his teammates must be correct.

The steel stick and the beheading sword clashed again. This time, Ichiro was the main attacker. The stick is the master of all weapons, and it is easy to learn but difficult to master. There is a saying that fists are afraid of young people, and sticks are afraid of old men. This is because the stick, the deep practice of swordsmanship, is very particular about the response and changes of skills. Ichiro's personality is not good at adapting to changes, but there is one advantage, that is, the stick is always in his hand. Since he picked up the steel stick, he has never let it leave his side. Even when sleeping and eating, the steel stick is where he can reach it with a stretch of his hand. In his three years of stick training, he has touched the stick as much as a veteran who has practiced stick techniques for more than ten years, and actual combat is easy in this world. So unknowingly, stick techniques have become an extension of hands and feet in Ichiro.

When using a stick to fight an enemy, one must consider the length of the weapon, measure the distance, calculate the time, clearly understand the changes of the life and death stick, the avoidance of the life and death gate, the advance and retreat of the old and young sticks, the control of the force point, the inside and outside of the return point, etc. This all requires a lot of experience. So, this is the true explanation of why the stick is afraid of Lao Lang. When it comes to Ichiro, it seems that the skills of stick fighting are innate. When he concentrates on fighting the enemy, the steel stick becomes a part of him. The stick skills that he has practiced for a long time have become almost instinctive for him.

He was free from worries and did whatever he wanted. The steel rod in his hand was as easy to use as his arm.

There is no such saying in the ninja world, but Ichiro's stick method has this meaning. Zabuza was more and more surprised as he fought. With just swordsmanship, he was no longer sure to defeat the boy in front of him. If he continued, it would only give the boy experience. On the contrary, once the boy's experience increased, he might be at a disadvantage, after all, he was injured, and his physical strength and chakra were not in full condition.

Thinking of this, Zabuza already had the idea of ​​escaping. If he continued to fight, he would probably be trapped here. Compared to his own life, giving up a mission was not that difficult to accept. He was already a traitor, and his bottom line had been lowered a lot without him realizing it.

After a few collisions, Zabuza had already made up his mind to retreat. He was thinking about how to escape.

Ichiro's attack became violent, he bombarded indiscriminately as if he had no strength left, without caring about the consumption of physical strength at all, he only focused on aiming the steel rod at Zabuza again and again.

Even though Zabuza was anxious, he had to deal with the situation at hand first.

"Swoosh" Kakashi was stunned. Shinko beside him had already shot out, using the instant body technique quite skillfully. His right hand, which had been held at his waist, never left his left waist, and his left hand shield was in front of his chest. Ichiro was fighting with Zabuza in various fighting skills, when suddenly a slender figure appeared behind Ichiro. His left hand swung forward instantly, leaving a silver line in the air.

I have to say that Nobuko and Ichiro have a very good understanding of each other. Ichiro did not expect Nobuko's arrival, but Nobuko found a flaw in Ichiro's actions. The timing of her appearance happened to be the brief stalemate between Ichiro and Zabuza. At this time, Zabuza and Ichiro would have a moment of stalemate, and their attention was on each other. Nobuko appeared silently behind Ichiro, unsheathed her soft sword, and swept directly at Zabuza's eyes. It was a very insidious attack.

At this time, Zabuza was in danger. He was in a stalemate with Ichiro. If he retreated, he would be at a disadvantage. But if he didn't retreat, the upcoming soft sword would scratch his eyes, and he couldn't bear such an injury. In desperation, he could only lean back to avoid the soft sword's sweep. But leaning back meant a change in the center of gravity of the body, and Ichiro's chance came.

Zabuza leaned back, so the power of his hand movements naturally weakened, giving Ichiro the opportunity to change his tactics. He held the steel stick in his hand and suddenly kicked Zabuza on the shin bone.

"Bang", this sound was just the sound of flesh hitting flesh, but Zabuza's expression changed. First, the pain caused his face to twist, and the next second it turned into fear. Because his body knelt on one knee uncontrollably, his body leaned back, and because he knelt on one knee, he had to pull it back.

Nobuko swept the sword horizontally, and the move was extremely fast. The soft sword in his hand was almost invisible, and the direction of the soft sword could only be determined by his swinging wrist. Who said that soft swords cannot be used for sword-drawing techniques? On the contrary, sword-drawing techniques are now the most suitable for Nobuko. Because of the characteristics of soft swords, power cannot be reflected on soft swords, and the power of sword-drawing techniques of soft swords does not need power to improve. Nobuko can exert speed to the limit and dominate with speed. So when the sword sweep was dodged, he immediately swung the sword back, just in time to hit Zabuza who turned around involuntarily.

"Chi" blood spurted out. At the critical moment, Zabuza gave up the beheading sword in his hand and raised his arm to block the soft sword that was sweeping over. The sharp blade entered the body, blood splashed, and the soft sword penetrated three-quarters of the body, almost cutting into the arm bone. However, the ninja's hard arm bone still blocked the soft sword. This is also the shortcoming of the soft sword, which cannot cause too much damage to hard objects. However, the soft sword has already cut into the soft tissue of half of the arm. Zabuza's arm cannot be used for the time being.
