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

“Swordsmanship is nothing more than Tangzhu, Jiasha Zhan, Ni Jiasha, Left Pheasant, Right Pheasant, Left Cut Up, Right Cut Up, Against the Wind, and Stab. These are the basic movements. All other moves are the evolution and extension of these basic moves. So, if you want to practice swordsmanship well, you must be proficient in the basic swordsmanship, so proficient that it is almost instinctive. Only in this way can you react instantly at the moment of fighting.” The white-haired old man Gu Jie, with his hands behind his back, educated Fengjian who was swinging the sword in front of him.

He found that after only a few days of not seeing him, Feng Jian actually started practicing swordsmanship. There was nothing wrong with practicing swordsmanship, and he could give some pointers, but it was obvious that Feng Jian's swordsmanship moves, in his opinion, were completely blind practice, and did not look like swordsmanship at all. So there was a scene where old man Gu Jie gave Feng Jian pointers.

Feng Jian was also troubled. He didn't swing his sword randomly. He was a member of the martial arts club in college. He was proficient in the basic thirteen-style sword technique. Even if modern martial arts have lost the test of actual combat, the basic techniques have not changed. If there is no way to explain it, then I won't explain it.

Fearing that Feng Jian would go astray, Gu Jie did not carry out any missions these days and kept watching Feng Jian's practice. The old man still approved of the practice of swinging a knife to cut leaves, but the moves were completely random. The old man was determined to correct Feng Jian's random swinging of the knife.

Every morning there are three hours, one hour for sword practice and two hours for hunting. Hunting is actually bow and arrow practice. It is not difficult for Fengjian to shoot at fixed targets. Moving prey is a good way to practice archery.

"Grandpa, I want to find a summoned beast." After hesitating for a long time, Fengjian decided to ask for help from Grandpa Gujie. After all, summoned beasts will participate in battles in the future, so they have to be selective and can't just accept whatever they encounter. Should they choose insects when they encounter them?

"Why do you suddenly want a spirit beast?"

"Don't you think summoned beasts are a good supplement to combat power? They have their own wisdom and consciousness, and can communicate with people. Several summoned beasts combined together, even if they are only at the Genin level, can have the combat power of a team. And with the command of a ninja, they can exert greater combat power." Fengjian also found it very strange. The combat power of summoned beasts is obvious to all, but ninjas do not seem to actively pursue summoned beasts. Instead, they focus more on ninjutsu.

"You think so?" Gu Jie was a little surprised. Ninjas pursue powerful strength, but this kind of strength is often sought from oneself, or in other words, the pursuit of strong strength, rather than the pursuit of external things such as summoned beasts. Ninjas' views on summoned beasts are that if they have them, they can, and if they don't, they are not rare. Of course, if the summoned beasts are as powerful as the summoned beasts of the three holy places of the Sannin, there are still many people coveting them.

"Is there anything wrong?" Feng Jian continued to ask. He liked to communicate with the old man. The experienced old man always had many different ideas from Feng Jian. The two of them had different ideas, but neither of them required the other to follow their own ideas. This was the reason why the two of them had always been in harmony.

The old man told her from his many years of ninja experience that ninjas cannot be obsessed with certain habits, including thoughts. He was very happy to see Kazama having his own thoughts.

As the soul of a modern man, it is normal for Kazama to think differently from the ninja world.

Completely different ideas collided during their communication.

"There's nothing wrong with it, it's just that ordinary summoned beasts have limited abilities and will not be of much help in combat." This is Gu Jie's experience. He has encountered many summoned beasts, and most of them were of little use. To him, it was just a matter of one or a few cuts.

"I think it depends on how they are used. Ninjas are so good at fighting. Summoned beasts are just beasts after all. Chakra is just auxiliary for them, and they still can't escape the beasts' attack methods. Ninjas are much more flexible. They can use various offensive ninjutsu. It's normal that summoned beasts can't beat them in a head-on confrontation. But why do we have to have a head-on confrontation? When did a ninja's battle require a head-on confrontation? Isn't it enough to just kill the enemy?"

"How can we defeat the enemy if we don't face them head-on?"

“This…” Feng Jian felt that he was a little bit unreasonable but couldn’t explain it clearly.

After pondering for a long time, he sorted out his thoughts on building a combat system. Feng Jian spoke again: "I think the auxiliary role of summoned beasts in combat is very important." This is the result Feng Jian came to after reorganizing his thoughts. Indeed, it is not advisable to use summoned beasts as the main combat force. After all, this is a ninja world. If the summoned beasts are placed in an auxiliary position, then this problem will be much simpler.

"Many ninjas use summoned beasts to assist in battle. What's the difference here?" Gu Jie was so experienced and knowledgeable that he once again blocked Feng Jian's thoughts in his heart, forcing Xi Feng to carefully think about whether there were any loopholes in his words.

"Of course it's different, I..." Feng Jian found that he couldn't refute it. No matter how it changes, the summoned beasts will always be a supplement to the combat power of the ninja, not the main one. What's the difference? Even if he can play the summoned beasts in a fancy way, isn't it still to serve himself as a ninja?

"Okay, I'm asking you this question not because I want you to answer it, but because I want to tell you that thinking too much is not necessarily a good thing. Sometimes, it's better to do than to say. If you think you can make a difference, go and prove it to me." Old man Gu Jie looked at Feng Jian's aggrieved face and did not continue to use tough words to peel open Feng Jian's heart. Instead, he comforted him. He had long discovered that his grandson had a lot of ideas, but he was not very active in doing them. This is not acceptable. The profession of ninja is not a politician. Action is always more important than words.

"Don't you want a summoned beast? Let's go. The forest outside Konoha is very big and it will take us a lot of time. We can't afford to delay." Gu Jie packed his luggage.

"You agree."

"I don't care whether you agree or not. The key is you. Having ideas is a good thing, and testing ideas must be supported. As a grandfather, what else can I do to help you besides supporting you?" Gu Jie smiled kindly. It is an honor for an elder to be needed by the younger generation, isn't it?

The forest outside Konoha is very large, almost surrounded by the forest. An old man and a young man are walking through the forest, not very fast, because they have to pay attention to the surrounding situation at all times.

"Grandpa, I heard that these forests were created by the Wood Release of the first generation. Is that true?" This is a question that Feng Jian has wanted to ask for a long time. These ninjas are obviously mortals, but their power is really too exaggerated, destroying the world.

"maybe."

"perhaps?"

"Well~, how should I put it, the First Generation's Wood Release is indeed powerful, but I have not seen him create a forest with my own eyes. I only heard from other seniors that some of the forests outside Konoha were indeed created by the First Generation's Wood Release." Gu Jie's answer was a little uncertain, after all, it was a very old memory.
