The Myth of Naruto

Chapter 9 Apprenticeship
Early in the morning, Yifeng got up, practiced his own six sword skills skillfully, and felt very comfortable and happy all over his body.

After breakfast, Yifeng quietly waited for Hatake Sakumo in the courtyard.

In the courtyard, it was as quiet as before, and the hustle and bustle of the outside world could not penetrate the thick wall.Standing still in the courtyard, feeling the softness of the breeze blowing on the face, the heart of Yifeng is extraordinarily peaceful.Slightly closing his eyes, he stretched out his mental power and perceived the surrounding environment. Yifeng seemed to be able to see everything around him.

The butterflies flying in the air, the swaying branches and leaves on the trees, the dust on the ground, the white lotus standing in the lake...

These scenes, under the cover of Yifeng's spiritual power, emerged one by one in his mind, and they seemed so real.

Not long after, light footsteps sounded in the corridor, and Yifeng curiously extended his mental power, just in time to see a familiar figure.The person who came was Hatake Sakumo, today he was wearing a military uniform, with a saber pinned to his waist, walking towards Yifeng's courtyard shiningly.

Ikkaze's spiritual power was discovered by Hatake Sakumo before he had time to get close to it.Immediately afterwards, a fierce evil spirit rose from his body, cutting off Yifeng's spiritual power.Suddenly, Yifeng felt a roar in his head, blurred vision in both eyes, and the entire sea of ​​consciousness was stirred into chaos.

After finally calming down the turbulent sea of ​​consciousness, Yifeng's vision immediately returned to clarity, but because of mental damage, his face became sickly pale.

If Hatake Sakumo hadn't been merciful just now, I'm afraid the current Yifeng would have been a cold corpse.

"In the future, don't use your mental power to spy on a master at will, the price is not something you can afford!" Hatake Sakumo stared at the wind for a while, his words were full of warnings.

Yifeng humbly accepts Hatake Sakumo's warning, and at the same time bears in mind that if he is not fully sure, he will not easily use his mental power to detect the truth of others.

Hatake Sakumo saw that Yifeng was so sensible, so he didn't care about it any more.After being silent for a while, Hatake Sakumo went straight to the point: "One wind, six sword skills, have you mastered it?"

"Understood!" While calming down the chaotic sea of ​​consciousness, Yifeng focused his attention on Hatake Sakumo.

"Very good! Practice the six sword techniques you have mastered!" Seeing Kazukaze's confident appearance, Hatake Sakumo immediately became interested.

"Yes!" Yifeng responded, and then stepped into the courtyard, stood with a knife in his hand, and slowly adjusted his breathing.

When the body recovered to its peak, Hanyue suddenly pulled out of its sheath in her hand, and slashed towards the surrounding air with the sound of whistling wind.

Seeing this, Sakumo Hatake standing not far away frowned slightly, as if he was not very satisfied with this move.However, he did not interrupt Yifeng's movements, but patiently observed each of Yifeng's next movements.

The Six Ways of Sword Art is the foundation of sword art. In the early days, Hatake Sakumo was also fascinated by it. It was not until he found his own way of sword in it that he achieved his current achievement.

Therefore, after learning that Yifeng also chose the six sword skills, he was also very concerned, and his heart that had been calm for a long time also fluctuated a little.In order to test Xiao Yifeng's swordsmanship talent, this month's period was specially set.

Looking at Yizhong Yifeng's smooth movements and vigorous body skills, it is much better than the original six skills of swordsmanship.It breaks the rigidity of the original version and achieves today's eclectic.

Seeing it, Hatake Sakumo expressed affirmation of his choice in his heart, and at the same time he had the idea of ​​accepting apprentices.

In today's ninja world, most ninjas would rather spend most of their time learning and developing new ninjutsu than spending too much time on sword art.In their eyes, sword art is only auxiliary, and only ninjutsu is fundamental.

But Sakumo Hatake is different. In his eyes, swordsmanship is the foundation, and other ninjutsu can only be regarded as auxiliary swordsmanship.With the white teeth in his hand, he has made a great reputation in the ninja world, making ninjas from all over the world tremble with fear.He won the title not because of his powerful ninjutsu, but because of his terrifying killing knife technique.

So much so that today, every time Konoha Baiya is mentioned, ninjas from all over the world think of the sharp blade in his hand, that peerless weapon that will see blood when it is unsheathed.

In Konoha, his sharp blade like a sheath restrained the evil spirit and killing intent in his whole body, making it difficult for people to detect his reality.Out of Konoha, he is the sharpest Bai Fang, and wherever he passes, all enemies bow their heads.His legend has never been terminated by anyone, and the ninja powerhouses standing in front of him all have hatred under his knife.

Now, his sword skills have already reached the stage of mastery, and he very much hopes that his sword skills can be passed on.However, after searching the entire Fire Nation, there was not a single boy who was qualified to be his apprentice.

In the past, some big families asked Hatake Sakumo to accept their own children as apprentices, but none of them passed the examination successfully.

He had also been troubled before, whether to accept a random apprentice and pass on his Dao of the Sword; or continue to wait, continue to search, and find a suitable successor.

In the end, he chose to wait.

Now, he has finally found this person, and this person is also the son of his best friend.Looking at the dancing figure in the courtyard, Hatake Sushige finally made a decision—to accept Yifeng as a disciple and inherit his mantle!
Yifeng didn't know about this, and now he is showing his harvest this month to his heart's content in the courtyard.The cold moon in his hand was like flowing clouds and flowing water in his hands, with a wonderful rhyme, coupled with his elegant body skills, this ordinary six skills of swordsmanship glowed with new vitality.

The more the wind dances, the deeper the understanding of the knife technique in his heart.All the doubts and worries in my heart melted away.Now he has long forgotten his feelings, and poured all his body and mind into the six methods of swordsmanship.The flaws in sword skills and body skills are also gradually perfected in his continuous practice, transforming towards perfection.

Hatake Sakumo kept his eyes on Ikkaze's movements, and found that Ikkaze seemed to have entered a strange state.In this state, he slowly corrected and perfected the flaws in his saber technique, making this set of ordinary six methods of saber technique gradually perfect.

"Good boy, you have such understanding!" Hatake Sakumo was very satisfied when he saw Yifeng's performance, and he also cared about this future apprentice in his heart.

He did not forcibly interrupt Yifeng's comprehension, but stood quietly at the side, quietly watching Yifeng's performance, with thoughts flashing through his calm eyes from time to time.

After Yifeng woke up from that strange state, he realized that he seemed to have forgotten something.He scratched the back of his head involuntarily, turned his eyes, but noticed Sakumo Hatake standing quietly beside him, and then remembered the business.

"Uncle Hatake, I have completed the six sword skills!" Yifeng looked at Sakumo Hatake who was not far away, bowed and said, with deep awe in his words.

"Well, very good! Ikkaze, are you interested in being my apprentice?" Hatake Sakumo looked at Ikkaze not far away, with a soft smile on his lips.

"What? Uncle Hatake wants to take me in as an apprentice?" Yifeng thought he heard it wrong, his face was full of surprise, obviously he was not prepared for this.Although he longed for Hatake Sushigeru's guidance, he never dared to expect to become Konoha Baiya's disciple.

"Uncle Hatake, you said you want to take me in as an apprentice?" Yifeng looked questioningly at Sakumo Hatake not far away, his eyes full of disbelief.

"Hmph! Don't you agree?" Hatake Sakumo looked at Kazukaze's questioning expression, and his face suddenly sank.

"No, no, Uncle Hatake, I'm just too happy!" Seeing Hatake Sakumo's face getting darker, Yifeng waved his hands again and again to clarify for himself.

Seeing that Hatake Sakumo's face returned to normal, Ikkaze was slightly relieved, and then he was about to bow down.

"You don't need to perform this empty ceremony, and we don't have to be so restrained between master and apprentice. You can still call me Uncle Hatake at ordinary times. Only when I teach you skills, you have to call me master, understand?" Hatake Sakumo stopped Yifeng bowed down and solemnly explained a few words.

"Yes, Uncle Hatake!" Yifeng agreed without hesitation.

"Yifeng, you have mastered the six skills of the sword well, and you have your own traces of the sword, but you have a fatal weakness, do you know?" Hatake Sakumo pondered for a while, not stingy with his praise, but But it also pointed out the weakness of Yifeng.

"I don't know!" Yifeng recalled his actions in his mind, but he couldn't find his weak point.

"Think about it carefully, what did you see the moment your sword was drawn?" Hatake Sakumo guided Yifeng carefully and kindly to recall the moment when the sword was drawn.

The image of Hanyue unsheathing suddenly appeared in Yifeng's mind.At that moment, the knife in his hand had a violent friction with the air, making a loud noise, and it took a long time to get out of the sheath.

"Could it be these problems?" Yifeng replayed the scene at that time in his mind, analyzed his unsheathing movement from beginning to end, and finally determined his weak point.

Yifeng expressed his thoughts and was praised by Hatake Sakumo.

"That's right! It's just that your movement of drawing the sword doesn't integrate well with your own sword skills, which formed this obvious flaw. At the same time, your speed of drawing the sword is indeed a bit slow, which will become your fatal in a real confrontation." You need to pay attention, soft helper!" Hatake Sakumo affirmed Yifeng's self-correction ability, and at the same time, he did not forget to point out its fatal weakness.

"Yes, Master, I understand!" Hatake Sakumo's guidance gave Yifeng a new direction to work hard.

"The real swordsmanship is to blend with your own swordsmanship at the moment of drawing the sword, and deliver that killer blow! Just be careful, I will only demonstrate it once!" Hatake Sushige said while walking towards a section of peach blossom tree forward.

Wei Wei stands still, holds the knife in her left hand, and keeps drawing the knife in her right hand.I saw a flash of light, but the saber was still lying in the scabbard, as if it had never been unsheathed.

However, the peach blossom tree in front responded.I saw a branch suddenly detached from the main pole and fell slowly. The section of the branch was as bright as a mirror.

"Amazing!" Yifeng looked at Yifeng's mirror-like cross-section, and while admiring him, he kept replaying the knife at that time in his mind, and fell into deep thought.

Seeing this, Hatake Sakumo left without disturbing Yifeng.
