I teach kendo in the ninja world

Araki's thinking is very clear.

Pure swordsmanship, without any additional blessings, cannot be tolerated in this world.

Therefore, one must do as the Romans do and integrate with Ninjutsu.

But the primary and secondary relationships must be clear.

This time, it was sword control.

To put it more exaggeratedly, one sword can create all kinds of magic!

Therefore, he would let the existing members of the [Blood Blade Force] undergo basic swordsmanship training.

Because for ninjas, especially Kirigakure ninjas who have to be exposed to killing very early, they actually don't have that much time to solidify their foundation in physical skills.

It is impossible to do what Matt Day and his son did when they were young, running hundreds of laps every day in the village, and then doing various push-ups, squats, kicks and other exercises.

Do you think that being a ten thousand year genin means you don't have to face a fight and just spend the whole day doing D-level tasks like looking for cats and dogs in the village?

dream!

There is no such type of mission in Kirigakure Village!

All their training is done between missions, or even during missions, through continuous real fighting to correct their previous wrong habits and streamline their movements.

If you can't do it, then you have to die.

And when their strength reaches a certain level and the problem of survival is no longer imminent, the improvement that these basic training can bring them is too small.

The extremely utilitarian practice habits they have developed since childhood make them unwilling to do things where the benefits are not proportional to the effort.

Looking at it from another perspective, this is actually a bit like the difference between righteous cultivation and demonic cultivation.

The path of cultivation is peaceful. When you lay the foundation in the early stage, the progress is very slow, but the road ahead is smooth. After the foundation is laid, you can move forward steadily with almost no stagnation.

But the magic way doesn’t work.

In the magic world, everyone is under great pressure to survive.

Today you are laying the foundation, and others have already learned a killer move.

Tomorrow you are still laying the foundation, and someone else learns another ninjutsu.

On the third day, when you still want to continue to lay the foundation, sorry, the assessment time has come.

You, who have been laying the foundation for a long time, are killed by someone who has not laid the foundation at all, but just learned a ninjutsu, and everything is in vain.

Yes, the person who killed you has a less solid foundation than you, and the future is not as bright as yours.

But what's the use?

Dead, just dead, everything loses its meaning.

With such an example in front of me, who would dare to spend time doing basic training in the early stage?

This also leads to a phenomenon.

That is, the combat effectiveness of Kirigakure genin of the same age group will be significantly stronger than that of Konoha genin.

But by the time he reached the level of jounin, except for family ninjas with special blood inheritance or secret techniques, Kirigakure no longer had any advantage at all.

But at this time, many ninjas in Konoha can continue to improve.

However, most of Kirigakure's potential has been exhausted due to a weak foundation or too many early hidden injuries.

The so-called nine-story platform starts from tired soil.A thousand miles begins with a single step.

If the foundation is not strong, the building cannot be high.If your footprints are not firmly planted, you will not be able to go far.

Araki naturally doesn't want to have a group of subordinates who can only be half-baked.

So, since you haven’t done it before, let’s do it now!

In the next few days, under the supervision of Araki, the members of the [Blood Blade Force] began very rigorous physical and sword training.

The projects include but are not limited to:

Run 50 laps around the training ground every day;

Swing the sword nine thousand times;

Flexibility training to tear ligaments through various stretching exercises;

and many more……

Even with the help of chakra, it still made everyone cry from exhaustion.

But no one said to give up.

Because Araki said that after passing the first stage of training, they will truly start to practice swordsmanship.

In Kirigakure, which values ​​strength above all else, they are willing to do anything to gain great strength!

During this time, Araki also continued to improve his training plan.

Under the cherry tree.

Scorpion's first human puppet has been basically transformed.

However, he still has a lot of work left, so he is still working hard.

Araki held the sword hilt in his arms, closed his eyes and meditated.

"It's good to lay the foundation for them with the moves of Feiten Mitsurugi style, but since it doesn't involve the use of higher-level power, it's not powerful enough at this level."

After all, it was impossible for Araki to equip each of them with a chakra metal long knife.

Not even Konoha can build such a wealthy army.

If you really want to play it like this, this unit should not be called [Blood Blade], but should be renamed [Golden Blade].

Because their blades can be said to be made of gold!

Wind control swordsmanship can be taught, but after Araki checked all their information in the past two days, he found that less than one-tenth of them had wind attribute chakra, while the holding rate of water attribute chakra was [-]%.

Therefore, instead of teaching a swordsmanship that only [-]% of people can use, it is better to teach water attribute swordsmanship directly.

Of course, he doesn't know any water-bending swordsmanship now.

But it doesn't matter, if I remember correctly, the one after Sasa Kojiro possesses water swordsmanship!

So, after arranging for the subordinates of [Blood Blade] to undergo basic training, Araki returned home and directly started the next sword challenge.

consciousness space.

Araki flipped through the light golden "Book of Swordsmen" with familiarity. After the images of Asuna, Himura Kenshin, Yasuo, Keqing, Sasaki Kojiro and other images flashed like a revolving lantern, a brand new character appeared. Before his eyes.

Unlike those people before who could tell he was a swordsman at a glance.

The latest person to appear was wearing a black suit, white shirt and tie, looking like an ordinary social creature.

If he hadn't held a bamboo sword in his hand, it would have been impossible to tell that he was also a swordsman.

Ok……

Of course, ordinary social animals don't have a scar on their chin.

Maybe he's more like...a gangster?

"I wield the sword not to kill, but to protect."

As a calm word came, the golden light dispersed, revealing the person's embodied figure.

"It's true, Takeshi Yamamoto, the ninth generation successor of Shigure Soen-ryu!"

There was a little joy in Araki's tone.

"Oh? You know me?"

General Yamamoto put the bamboo sword in his hand on his shoulder, with a somewhat serious look in his eyes.

Suddenly, a powerful aura surged out of his thin body, and the air around him seemed to become a little moister.

"As expected of one of the two great swordsmen in Vongola!"

There was a look of interest in Araki's eyes, "Come on, let me see the legendary murderous swordsmanship that has been passed down from the Warring States Period to this day - the masterpiece of Shigure Soen-ryu!"

"Want to see my swordsmanship?"

Yamamoto Takeshi's face condensed, "No problem, but I want to correct one thing. Shiyu Cangyan Style is no longer a murderous sword technique. In my hand, it is only used for protection!"

After saying this, the bamboo sword in Yamamoto Takeshi's hand began to change.

The originally ordinary brown bamboo knife turned into a sharp blade shining with a faint blue brilliance in the blink of an eye.

Then, he rushed forward quickly, thrusting his sword straight!

"Shiyu Cang Yanliu, the first attack type, Axis Rain!"

Whoa!

Following Takeshi Yamamoto's movements, a large amount of water suddenly appeared and wrapped around his sword body, like huge tornadoes, with the tip of the sword as the center, rushing towards Araki.

"This is a good move!"

Araki nodded, and after a little comment, chakra spurted out from his hand, and the light blue sword blade appeared, facing the tip of Yamamoto Takeshi's sword point to point, needle point to wheat awn!

Ding!

A crisp chime sounded, and Takeshi Yamamoto, whose attack was blocked, turned his wrist, trying to change the attack route by changing hands to catch Araki off guard.

[Shigure Cang Yanliu, fifth attack type, May Rain]!

However, under the perception of Araki who has opened the [Heart Eye], this move has too many flaws.

He took action first, and when Yamamoto Takeshi released the hilt of the sword with his right hand but could not catch it with his left hand, he lightly knocked the long sword [Shigure Kintoki] away.

"As a swordsman, how can you relax your weapon so easily?"

However, Yamamoto Takeshi's reaction was also very quick. The moment [Shigure Kintoki] flew upside down, he reached out and grabbed the handle of the knife again, and then swung it downwards heavily!

Whoa!

A water column rolled up out of thin air, blocking Araki's forward slashing sword blade.

[Shiyu Cang Yanliu, second type of guard style, reverse rolling rain]!

Although Araki's offensive was blocked, his eyes lit up: "Oh? This move is much more convenient than the water formation wall!"

While talking, he put the long sword in his hand behind his back and blocked Takeshi Yamamoto's sneak attack from the sky.

"Do you think that leaving a reflection on the front can confuse me? You are so naive!"

Takeshi Yamamoto was also shocked when he saw through the move.

This is his expanded use of the [Reverse Curling Rain] move, and he created [Attack Type [-], Reflecting Rain]. The principle is to use the reflection in the water to confuse the enemy, and then the main body takes the opportunity to make a sneak attack.

However, this kind of move is really a bit childish for Araki, whose spiritual cultivation has reached the realm of Ming Jing Shisui.

After a missed move, in order to deal with Araki's ensuing attack, he rolled the blade and spun on the spot again, and a layer of highly toxic defensive water wall was instantly formed.

[Shiyu Cang Yanliu, Shou Shi Type [-], Fanchui Rain]!

In order to experience more personally the pros and cons of [Shigure Cang Yanliu]'s move in actual combat, Araki did not use all his strength to break through the water barrier, but chose to retreat temporarily.

After the water wall disappeared, Takeshi Yamamoto leaned down slightly, holding the long sword [Shigure Kintoki] behind his back, and rushed towards Araki with a sword-drawing stance.

Then, when he was within three feet of him, he drew his sword instantly!

Choke!

The moment the sound of the sword sounded, a stream of faint blue water spread out in a semicircle like sword energy, and struck Araki's chest and abdomen with great speed!

[Shigure Cang Yanliu, eighth type of attack, Xiaotu Rain]!

This move made Araki's eyes light up. He held the sword in both hands and faced it without dodging.He also swung an arc of sword energy!

【Chop·New Moon】!

boom!

The faint blue water flow collided with the light cyan wind blade in mid-air, and instantly exploded into a drizzling drizzle.

Then, Yamamoto Takeshi's face suddenly showed joy, and he suddenly swung his long sword and struck out multiple slashes quickly.

The blue sword energy mixed with the raindrops falling in the sky, making it difficult to distinguish, as if the air was densely packed with attacks from him!

[Shigure Cang Yanliu, Special Type No. 11, Yan's Mouth]!

"Oh? Compare the quantity?"

The corners of Araki's mouth curled up slightly, and he waved his arms quickly, slashing out green crescent moons one after another in an instant.

[Zhanbo·Qianyue]!
