A reasonably developed ninja world

"Gu Jie, people are like knives. When the knife cuts soft objects, the wear and tear of the knife is so slow that people can't feel it.. biqugev But when fighting against a strong enemy, every slash will leave a mark on the knife. The next scar.

If there is a gap in the sword, stop fighting and ask for the sword to be changed. Or never dare to confront someone head-on. Such a person is not a warrior, but just a playboy chasing gorgeousness. "Ryuichi took down a knife from the knife holder on the wall.

What Ryuichi hung on the wall was actually not a famous sword, but a standard knife from the Maruboshi family.

This knife is probably what Ryuichi has always used. Swordsmen always have special feelings for their swords. Hanging a gorgeous but incapable of killing piece of art is just an insult to a true swordsman.

"What makes a person strong is the heart, not the moves?" Gusuke said uncertainly as he watched Ryuichi slowly pull out the knife and trace the gap between the sword ninja with his finger.

Even if it is well maintained and evenly coated with knife oil, this knife cannot hide the traces of time.

Wrap the handle of the knife in circles with a clean coarse cloth to enhance friction with the palm of your hand. It is foolish to use silk for the sake of appearance, or to fail to keep the knife-wrapping cloth clean. In the fierce battle, the cloth absorbing blood and sweat can easily cause the knife to slip out of the hand, causing fatal flaws. Of course Ryuichi would not make such a mistake.

The end follows the habit of old-school ninjas and can be unscrewed. It is filled with needles and threads for suturing wounds, medicine, and small items such as flints. There are many white spots scattered on the end surface, which are left by hitting "Fang Lai" with the handle of the knife.

There is no sword, the blade is about 40 centimeters long, and the material has good toughness, which is more in line with the swinging requirements of the Maruboshi family's swordsmanship.

For such a knife, head-on collisions should be avoided as much as possible. The softer material can easily damage the blade during hard fighting.

Kosuke has been taught since he was a child that even if he is defending against shuriken kunai, he should not choose to kill it directly just to look cool, and try to use the peak part of the sword to dial it.

Even so, Ryuichi's knife was full of scars. The blade was full of gaps, and a section had been chopped off at the cutting edge. The blade had been polished many times and was almost worn away. This proves how many thrilling scenes this knife has experienced.

"This sword is not a famous sword. But it is a thousand times more glorious than the playthings hanging in noble houses. Now you understand. What you need most now is courage, not ideas."

Gu Jie just stared at the knife blankly and didn't answer.

"It's getting late, Gusuke, go back and rest." Ryuichi felt that what he said was clear enough.

Gu Jie still didn't move at all.

"Gu Jie, I said, you can go back and rest." Ryuichi frowned, something was wrong with Gu Jie's situation.

"If perseverance is a kind of courage, then is change another kind of courage? I still want to try and try another idea. Please allow me to try it, Master of the Family." Gu Jie raised his head He nodded, his eyes extremely firm.

"Don't you understand yet? Gu Jie, stop making excuses for your incompetence. In fact, it's simply because you are not strong enough. You dare not admit that your talent is not good, let alone believe that you will succeed after working hard. You are afraid If you continue to persist, you will get nothing." Ryuichi scolded Kosuke sternly.

He patiently gave Gu Jie some pointers because of his good performance. He was not usually so pleasant.

Now Kosuke's stubbornness made him lose his patience. He became a little irritable and even mobilized chakra unconsciously, forming a kind of coercion.

"Is it because of fear or because you have no confidence in the Maruboshi family's swordsmanship? Then let me tell you a secret now. I am a jounin. With swordsmanship alone, the Maruboshi family can reach the jounin level. Now you still want to Do you want to give up swordsmanship?"

The head of the Maruboshi family, who was always thought to be only a chuunin by the outside world, is actually a jounin? There is actually a Jonin in the Marusei family?

Gu Jie's mind is not on this at all. All he can think about now is getting Ryuichi's permission.

Although ninjas can make their own decisions about what they practice. However, Ryuichi has very strict requirements for the children of the family. If he finds that his family's swordsmanship is not progressing satisfactorily because he tries something else, he will naturally be punished.

So although he was trembling with fear, he still gritted his teeth and said, "No, that's not the case, Master. I don't want to give up swordsmanship, but Nagata proposed another possibility, using the Maruboshi family's wrist shaking technique. , to achieve the effect of killing ninjutsu with sword skills. What I want to try is this possibility. "

"Do you think the seniors of the Maruboshi family haven't tried this before?" Ryuichi showed a mocking expression.

"what?"

"From the first day the sword was born, people who wield it have begun to explore the technique of cutting everything with the sword. One blow will keep cutting, many times.

The earliest development goal of the Maruboshi family's wrist shaking technique was to achieve multiple slashes in an instant. Later it was discovered that the human wrist was simply unable to withstand the burden of multiple slashes. This is the first time that the Maruboshi family has been abandoned by the times. It was lost to the limits of human beings. "

"With the advent of the ninja era, chakra changed everything, giving humans god-like power. The Maruboshi family used chakra to break through the limits of the human body in the samurai era.

However, the development speed of ninjutsu far exceeds that of swordsmanship, and swordsmanship still cannot be said to be able to cut off all ninjutsu.

In the process, the warriors were divided into two factions. One group maintains their devout belief in traditional swordsmanship, and at most uses chakra to strengthen physical fitness, thereby indirectly strengthening swordsmanship. They should all have gathered in the Kingdom of Iron now.

There is also a group that accepts the existence of chakra, actively integrates chakra into sword skills, and develops techniques that utilize the power of chakra.

For example, the Hatake family's thunder-attributed swordsmanship, and the Gekko family's Blood Succession Limit Break, turned the majestic samurai sword into an assassination sword.

The Maruboshi family has never obtained any profound chakra secrets. They only incorporated some of the illusion ideas and developed tricks like Liuliu. This time, the Maruboshi family lost again, losing in the development of chakra. "

"Why do you think I gave the Maruboshi family's swordsmanship to Konoha? Just for that little resource? This is to have more ninjas who can come up with countless ideas after learning the Maruboshi family's swordsmanship. , which is equivalent to countless people coming to help our Maruboshi family develop swordsmanship.

All the moves developed based on the Maruboshi family's swordsmanship will be seen through and cracked by the Maruboshi family members who master the core secrets, thus becoming the nourishment of the Maruboshi family. "

"Now, do you dare to try anything new?" Ryuichi looked at Gusuke with contempt.
