I teach kendo in the ninja world

The bleak autumn wind blew the cherry blossoms.

Araki left the sleepless Xie in the courtyard with his beloved material, and then walked out of the house alone.

ANBU's first training ground.

This is the exclusive training ground for the pursuit troops.

There are beaches, shrub hills, hillsides, arbor forests, plains...

All the corresponding terrains are included, which shows the good intentions in the layout.

This is how the top elites of Kirigakure Village are treated!

Araki stepped into it wearing his ANBU mask.

Along the way, he saw many people training to capture and kill each other.

Their training is very real and brutal.

It's real sword training.

Holding long or short tachi and wearing masks of different shapes, everyone did not hold back at all during the battle, and blood spatters could be seen from time to time.

And the most important thing is that neither the people in the battle nor the people watching the battle think there is anything wrong with this kind of training.

This made Araki couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "As expected of the madman of Kirigakure Village..."

Kill your own people ruthlessly, and kill your enemies even more ruthlessly!

He was very satisfied with such subordinates.

His entry naturally attracted the attention of some people, but before anyone came up to ask, Araki jumped up to a high platform in the center in two or three leaps.

Then, draw your sword toward the sky——

Jin!

The high-pitched sword cry was like a dragon roaring out of the abyss, and it spread throughout the training ground in an instant!

The lightsaber [Eight Thousand Styles] grew rapidly in his hand, and in the blink of an eye it changed from a mere hilt to a giant blade with a length of more than 40 meters!

boom!

Araki waved his hand casually, and the sharp blade struck the open space next to him fiercely.

In an instant, the ground shattered, smoke and dust flew everywhere, and the violent earthquake made many people nearby have to use their strength to stabilize themselves.

Then he looked at the source of the turmoil.

under the watchful eyes of all.

Araki threw away the mask on his face and said, "Let me introduce myself. My name is Araki, and I am a Jonin. From today on, I will be your commander."

quiet--

After Araki finished speaking, the entire audience fell into a brief silence.

then.

Strong murderous intent rose into the sky, birds flew away in fright, and beasts fled. In an instant, all the animals that were originally present on the field disappeared without a trace.

There were just over a hundred people here, but the thick murderous aura seemed to dye all the mist filling the air red.

"Is this the welcome ceremony for the pursuit troops?"

Facing hundreds of fierce glances, Araki smiled nonchalantly, "Not bad, very energetic."

Just kidding, it's just murderous. To him, it's like a breeze blowing on his face and a cool breeze around his body. Apart from saying "cool", it has no effect.

"Now that the welcome ceremony has passed, let's line up and count."

After hearing Araki's words, the members of the pursuit team looked at each other, and then lined up in front of him honestly.

Although they are crazy and murderous, they are not fools, and none of them are insane.

Araki's shocking sword had already made them realize the gap, and the murderous intent just now was just an instinctive reaction they had developed over a long period of time.

After being provoked, the body just responds spontaneously.

It doesn't mean they want to rebel against Araki.

Although Kirigakure has always had this tradition, he still needs to evaluate his own strength.

"Oh, by the way, take away all your masks too!"

When all the chasing troops lined up and were about to start counting, Araki seemed to suddenly remember something, waved his hand and said.

"Anyway, you won't be using them from now on."

"This……"

This order confused everyone.

The reason why ANBU members wear masks is to hide their identities. After all, it is often not convenient for others to know what they do.

It's really unheard of for an ANBU to take off their mask.

Although Araki, as the leader, did have this power, this order that went against their common sense made them hesitate.

Finally, the ANBU standing at the top asked: "Lord Commander, can we know why this is?"

"of course."

Araki smiled, "Because from today on, you, no, we, will no longer be under the control of ANBU, but will become a regular elite force. Our responsibility is no longer just to hunt down traitorous ninjas, but Kill all enemies for Kirigakure!

"Therefore, the designation also needs to be changed. The pursuit force can no longer accurately describe our responsibilities. From today on, our new designation is called - Blood Mist Blade!"

"Blood Mist Blade..."

Many people were murmuring below, wondering about this new name.

"Not bad!"

Araki continued to speak loudly: "In places filled with mist, sharp blades will be unsheathed, and the blood flowers shooting out from the enemy will dye the white mist into blood. We are the sharp blades in the blood mist, and we will definitely kill them all. All invading enemies. No matter whether it is fire or thunder, strong wind or rocks, they can't stop our sharp edge when we unsheath!"

Looking at the murderous figures below, Araki shouted:

"have you understood?"

"understand!"

Hundreds of people responded in unison.

"Very good, then throw away the mask and welcome the new life!"

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!

There were sounds of masks shattering one after another, and the chasing troops took off their masks as instructed, revealing their true faces.

"it is good!"

Araki let out a hearty laugh.

"It's not that easy to become an elite force on the frontal battlefield. Unlike when you usually hunt down rebel ninjas, on a battlefield where thousands of people are fighting in a melee, there isn't much time to lay out traps and prepare ninjutsu.

"Some are just constant fighting. How to use every chakra in your body in the most reasonable and stingy way, and even every ounce of physical strength, is what you need to learn."

"And now, let me experience your strength for myself! Don't worry about hurting me, you can go up together in groups of ten!"

Before he finished speaking, he jumped off the high platform and charged towards the enemy in front.

As for the pursuit force, oh no, the members of the Blood Blade Force reacted quickly enough. With only two or three exchanges of glances, the ten ninjas from the first group were left to undergo the test.

Sa!

Araki walked against the wind at an extremely fast speed and was close to the first enemy in the blink of an eye.

This is a senior ninja who looks to be middle-aged, with a lush beard on his chin.

Araki's speed was obviously beyond his expectation, but there was no panic in his eyes.

As a ninja who has experienced many battles, he has encountered countless enemies that are faster than him, so he naturally has a way to deal with them.

He did not make a rash attack, but instead held the handle of the knife tightly with both hands, his eyes quietly staring at Araki's movements, and constantly adjusting his orientation with extremely subtle steps to ensure that he would not lose the opponent's field of vision.

At the same time, two ninjas chasing the troops from two outside surrounded him at the same time, one on the left and one on the right. The three of them formed a cross-shaped formation, tightly surrounding Araki.

At the moment when the encirclement was formed, they took a step forward at the same time and stabbed out the tachi in their hands almost in no particular order.

If it were anyone else, facing such an attack that could almost be said to threaten three vital points of the body at the same time, they would either retreat, or they would have to use ninjutsu for a comprehensive defense.

But Araki is different.

In his mind, although these three knives are almost in no particular order, they are only almost after all.

As long as there is a gap in between, he can accurately find it and exploit it.

Ding Ding Ding!

The sword light flashed continuously, and in an instant, there were three crisp sounds, and the wrists of the three people involved in besieging Araki shook at the same time.

next moment.

Araki's figure had passed over them like the wind, leaving only three figures knocked to the ground, wailing in pain.

When the seven people behind saw this, their pupils shrank.

Each of them is a veteran who has experienced hundreds of battles, and their physical skills have been refined through countless battle tests.

Logically speaking, there shouldn't be such a big flaw, but it should be broken by someone with one blow!

Several people looked at each other, divided into two groups of three and four, and rushed forward one after the other.

It’s not that they don’t want seven people to go together.

But physical combat also requires a space for maneuvering.

Araki is not a giant, and there is simply not enough space around him to accommodate seven people to attack together.

Three or four people is already the limit.

They were divided into three circles inside and four outside, making maximum use of their numerical advantage.

However, for Araki, it is still not enough!

This time, he did not wait for the opponent to complete the encirclement before taking action.

As soon as he stepped forward, his body shape suddenly changed, from going straight forward to rushing to the left.

The thin blade also pulled out a streak of sword light in mid-air and came to the front of the ninja on the left.

In his opinion, the opponent's defensive actions were full of flaws.

But just when he was about to strike down this person with one strike of his sword.

Whoosh whoosh!

"Water Escape·Water Whip!"

Four streams of water turned into long whips and struck at the same time from the front, back, left, and right directions, entangling his hands, feet, and limbs respectively.

Yes, they are not simple samurai, but ninjas who can use ninjutsu!

If you can't defeat him with physical skills, you'll have to rely on ninjutsu!

If Araki wants to continue his actions, these four water-flow whips will firmly restrain him, and then tell him: "Times have changed, and pure swordsmanship can no longer be unruly!"

only……

Although these water whips came from different directions, they could not escape Araki's perception under [Heart's Eye].

In the meantime, the long sword he swung forward smoothly drew an elegant arc and circled around.

The originally light cyan wind blade turned into a blue water blade, gently and skillfully cutting through the four water whips.

【Qie Yu】!

[Chopping Waves and Ring Breaking]!

Seeing Araki using his sword to cut the water, the ninjas who used the water whip laughed in their hearts.

Hasn't he heard that cutting off the knife will make the water flow even more?

They had already made up their minds. Whoever's water whip hit Araki's sword blade first would just take their sword away.

Let’s see how he fights next!

However, things backfired.

Araki told them with practical actions that although times have changed, they have not completely changed.

The era of swords has not completely ended!

I saw that after coming into contact with Araki's sword blade, the originally incorporeal water whip disappeared directly out of thin air!

"This is... Qie Yu!"

Among the crowd watching the battle, a young ninja couldn't help but widen his eyes.

"The art of cutting rain can still be used like this?!"
