A reasonably developed ninja world

"I, I," Gusuke was so confused by Ryuichi's words that he couldn't say even a single word. .biquge

People are like this. When they are young, a rush of blood rushes to their heads. Even a tiger dares to fight, and a dragon wants to tear off three of its beards. But when I saw the people who died in the tiger's mouth, I touched the white bones buried under the dragon's cave. Then my legs will be too weak to walk.

On the other hand, countless seniors have explored this idea without success. On the one hand, there is a clear direction. As long as you follow the steps, there is a high probability of a shortcut to reaching the Jonin level. Smart people know how to choose.

Ryuichi's momentum became stronger and stronger, as if he was oppressing Kosuke so much that all the joints in his body were colliding with each other. This is not physical pressure, but mental oppression. It's like a person standing naked in the biting cold wind, shivering instinctively to create heat.

At this moment, Gu Jie seemed to see Wengbu again with his claws closed and raised above his head, ready to take his life. That invisible momentum seemed to condense into a pair of blood-red beast eyes and a huge mouth baring fangs.

When people face a problem and have no clue, their instinct is to search their memory for scenes similar to the current problem and use analogies to find answers. Under Ryuichi's pressure, Gusuke's mind went blank and he couldn't think. What came to mind was the scene where he faced Onbu.

At that moment, Gu Jie didn't have any fear of death, and his life didn't flash past his eyes so fast. Instead, there is a sense of atonement and a little bit of pride.

People often unconsciously recall some important moments in life, taste them, and then hope to get some enlightenment for the future. Gu Jie's perception is called faith.

Gu Jie bit his lip so hard that it bled, and roared, "I still want to give it a try."

"Oh, don't you know how many people have failed on this road? Where do you have the courage to think that you are better than the seniors of the Maruboshi family? Let others try, you can't do it."

When people find the answer in their hearts, they will no longer be dominated by fear. Although his lips were still bleeding, Gu Jie actually had a smile on his face and his speech became more and more fluent.

"No, I don't think I am better than anyone. Even if I have been working hard, it is undeniable that there are people who work harder than me and are stronger than me. But the core of swordsmanship has never been strength, but belief. ah."

Gu Jie's confidence and Gu Jie's smile actually suffocated Ryuichi.

"In the hospital, I asked Yazao Kido what he was thinking when he jumped on Onbu's back. He said he didn't think about anything and just did it. I asked Nagata again if he hated it. I, it was my idea that almost killed everyone. Nagata said, I didn’t have time to hate, I just thought about running away. I also asked Dorao Mitsujun why he came back to save me. He said that if he didn’t save me, he would regret it for the rest of his life. . They have never considered whether they are strong or not."

"The power of swordsmanship does not depend on the skills or the sharpness of the blade, but on the instillation of faith. If a farmer is to protect his homeland, even if he is using a hoe, he can still display his command and forbearance. The gods of the world also appreciate the power."

"The Maruboshi family's swordsmanship is always to observe whether the enemy is confused and to measure whether they are sure to kill with one blow. But in addition to the enemy, there are also clan members and teammates. There is a reason to have to use the sword. Ah. If you can't get out of this point and are always entangled between ourselves and the enemy, the ninja's courage will become as narrow as the blade. If you find the faith to wield the sword, even if you die, you will have no reason to regret it. That courage will It becomes as broad as a knife peak."

"Tch, I can't tell that a dull Gu Jie has become eloquent." In an instant, Long Yi's aura calmed down and he became kind again.

"Master, don't be angry anymore." The speed of this change must have been too fast, which made Gusuke a little confused.

"I'm never angry, I'm just testing you."

"test?"

"I have never restricted people in the family from going in different directions. Didn't you pay attention? From ancient times to the present, the Maruboshi family has had countless seniors trying to integrate different techniques to improve the family's swordsmanship. Even my family's swordsmanship You can leave it to Konoha to promote it, so how can I stop you? What really worries me is whether you have the firm belief to continue. Now it seems that I can rest assured. "

"Master, please rest assured. Although I am stupid, when it comes to will, I am not inferior to anyone." Gu Jie is full of energy now.

"Really? You just said that someone is smarter than you and works harder than you." Ryuichi joked.

"Ah?! Then I will definitely work harder." After all, Fousuke is not Nagata. He just boasted a little and was exposed.

"I hope so, Gusuke, there is one thing you must pay attention to. Always remember that real strength is the strength of the heart. I have seen too many ninjas who always try their best to learn more ninjutsu. But strength, There is no essential improvement. When fighting, like a rich man who was robbed by bandits, he took out his property bit by bit and prayed for life, but in the end he couldn't escape death. Even if I repeatedly appealed to return to the purest sword skills, I still couldn't. There are many people who are going astray. This is why I am the only jounin in the Maruboshi family now." Ryuichi felt very sad because he didn't know if he thought of the current situation of the Maruboshi family.

"If the head of the family shows his strength as a Jonin, wouldn't that be the best explanation?"

Why has the Maruboshi family declined over the years? Isn't it because there are no jounin-level figures? Jonin is the class that really has the right to speak in Konoha Village. Even the position of Hokage must be voted on by the Jonin Conference. If you are just the head of a family and you are not good at fighting, you will have no right to speak. So why has Ryuichi been hiding his strength?

"Gusuke, people's greed is never-ending. Once a Jonin appears in the Maruboshi family, some people's ambitions will sprout. They will demand more resources and voice. But whether a family is prosperous or not does not matter. It depends on the strongest person, but on the strength in the middle. If you are a peerless strongman like Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara, you can certainly carry a family alone. But even if you are a peerless strongman, once he appears Unexpectedly, if the family does not have a strong successor, how can it maintain so many resources? At that time, the more it has, the more disasters it will cause. "

"Furthermore, powerful ninjas often have their own ninja. Because ninjas without ninja can easily be manipulated by their opponents in battle. You should know it well. When fighting with masters, you always unconsciously imitate them. A master's movements, even just his steps, will be synchronized with his opponent's unconsciously. If his own rhythm is controlled by his opponent, then there is no point in winning. Similarly, if they are willing to practice swordsmanship because I am a Jonin, and It's not just a love of swordsmanship. Such a person will never become a master in his life. "

"Understood, I won't take it easy."

"One more thing, Gu Jie, from now on, please call me uncle."
