378 chapter

"very good."

Seeing that Sai finally agreed to his challenge, the young man showed a fighting spirit on his face.

But in the pupils that were looking at Sai, there was already a strong fighting spirit.

He turned around abruptly, jumped back into the arena with a flash of figure.

Sai moved a little slowly, and looked at Naruto and Hinata beside him.

"Sai, come on, teach this arrogant kid a lesson!"

Naruto clenched his fists, as if he was the one who was about to fight, and said with enthusiasm.

"Sai-kun, be careful."

Hinata didn't care about the battle itself, and of course, she didn't question Sai's ability.

"Ah."

Sai's previously expressionless complexion softened, and he nodded slightly.

He glanced at Itachi again, and then jumped onto the arena, confronting the young man several meters away.

And the ronin and samurai next to him also saw the cause and effect of the matter in their eyes.

When Sai appeared on the fighting arena, their eyes also turned back one after another, staring at the two teenagers in the arena.

"Although as a samurai, this kid's sword skills are indeed superb, but to fight ninjas, sword skills alone are not enough."

Some ronin were not optimistic about the samurai boy, even though he had previously defeated a samurai who used chakra conduction weapon armor.

But the samurai is not very proficient in the use of armor and weapons, and his strength is still far behind that of a real ninja.

If it's simply better than fighting swordsmanship, the biggest advantage of ninjas lies in chakra.
"But the boy on the stage doesn't look like a strong ninja either. Anyway, this battle is quite interesting."

Someone else said, and just as whispers sounded in the crowd, the boy and Sai in the fighting arena had already entered the state of standing still.

Although the boy is proud, he is actually very good at observing.

Judging by the appearance and age of Sai, Naruto, and Hinata, there is a high probability that the other party is just Konoha's ninja.

The speed he used before, it should be difficult for ordinary ninja to react.

But these three ninjas obviously have enough ability to see his movements clearly.

After Saii stood on the fighting arena, his eyes also began to look around.

He quickly discovered the new traces on the ground in the field.

"Wind escape."

Looking at the slender crack, Saii narrowed his eyes slightly.

"This guy"

Sai looked at the young man in front of him, and the moment he met his gaze, the latter had already started to move.

Swish!
He exploded at the same speed as before, and while moving, put his left hand on the hilt held by his right, and drew out the slender katana.

The left hand uses the knife!

Seeing this, Sai drew out the tachi more quickly from behind.

The boy rushing towards him held a slender samurai sword horizontally, but his wrist was buckled down, forming a certain angle.

Immediately afterwards, the point of the samurai sword in his hand was pointing down, and after quickly approaching Sai, he lifted it up suddenly!
Sai Xiu's sword skills are not bad, but he has never seen anyone use this kind of movement when using a sword.

Because this kind of attack from top to bottom with a knife, it didn't have much strength at first.

But Sai, who had observed the surrounding environment before and came to a conclusion, did not underestimate the boy's attack at all.

He placed the dagger horizontally in front of his face.

Sure enough, after the young man's movement of picking up the knife reached a certain height and satisfied the angle, his wrist trembled slightly, and the trajectory of the blade changed completely.

The blade that was raised from top to bottom, turned horizontally with the movement of the boy's wrist, and slashed at Sai's chest.

Saii had expected that he would change his moves, so he made a defensive move like placing the blade horizontally.

When the opponent's sword was cut horizontally, he immediately straightened the sword downwards, intending to meet it.

However, just when the two blades were about to collide, the boy's movements changed again!
The boy suddenly let go of the hand holding the knife.

But when the blade was released from his hand, his wrist also flipped.

"when!"

The katana blades rubbed against each other, making a crisp sound, and the blade of the samurai sword that was released by the young man was actually attached to the blade of Sai Taidao, and it rotated half a circle.

At this time, the orientation of the knife handle has changed.

The boy quickly seized the opportunity at this moment, held the inverted handle of the knife with his backhand, and drew the knife horizontally.

At this time, although the defense formed by Sai's blade could still block most of the blade of the samurai sword, the tip of the blade and a small part of the blade still broke through the defense.

The tip of the knife just cut towards Sai's chest.

Sai had already noticed the boy's second change of move, but the boy's movements were also quite agile.

He stepped back, but at this moment the knife tip was close to Sai.

The point of the knife touched Sai's clothes, and cut it horizontally by about one centimeter.

In terms of speed, Sai still had a small advantage, so apart from a little damage to his clothes, he didn't suffer any injuries.

But facing the boy's first round of attack, Sai finally retreated.

"What did he do?"

Naruto watched the whole process, his eyes widened. He had seen Sai's sword skills during the graduation test before.

For Naruto who had never practiced swordsmanship, the swordsmanship used by Saii at that time was already superb enough.

But this young man's sword skills are obviously more powerful!

"His grasp of timing is quite precise."

Hinata murmured, the learned soft fist is a type of body art, so she is more sensitive to the range and accuracy of movements than Naruto and most ninjas.

The juvenile's changing sword skills are indeed unimaginable, but it is not easy to succeed.

"Not only accurate, but also bold, or do you have absolute confidence in your own knife skills?"

Itachi wasn't too surprised that the first round of confrontation would be like this.

If this young man's sword skills were only ordinary, he would have been overthrown by the ronin warriors surrounding the arena long ago.

The essence of the boy's saber movement just now, which seemed variable, was in the second movement of changing direction and turning the saber.

But in fact, if he can't grasp the speed, strength and angle of the knife, and the three are slightly off, Saii will seize the huge flaw and fight back.

His saber movements can only be faster, and must not be slowed down even for an instant.

Especially letting the knife spin out of hand is really a risky and bold move.
Therefore, Itachi, who saw through the boy's superb sword skills, began to speculate on his identity.

As far as he knew, even in the Land of Iron, where masters of swordsmanship and swordsmanship gathered, there should be few people who could train such a young man with superb swordsmanship.

Moreover, the samurai sword in the boy's hand is still made of materials that conduct chakra.

"If it was his disciple, Sai would not be his opponent in a single competition of swordsmanship."

Itachi muttered inwardly.
