I teach kendo in the ninja world

The next day.

It was just dawn, and Araki, who had always had a regular schedule, arrived outside the inn.

Coincidentally, just as he was about to knock on the door, the door opened on its own, and a group of Iron Kingdom warriors headed by swords filed out.

"Sir Araki, we are ready."

"Then, please come with me."

The location for the exchange was arranged at the No. 15 training ground.

This is an ordinary training ground that does not occupy a large area. It is flat and flat, with no mountains, no water, no forests and no animals. It is fair to say that it is a very large arena.

The reason why we chose this place is to try to eliminate interference from the external environment and let the victory or defeat focus more on the strength of both sides.

It also gave the people of the Iron Kingdom no excuse to lose.

……

……

After Daida and others arrived at the No. 15 training ground under the guidance of Araki, they found that there were already ten ninjas warming up here.

"Cough cough!"

Araki coughed twice, and the ten people stopped what they were doing and gathered together.They looked at the warriors of the Kingdom of Iron with curiosity, fighting spirit, and indifference. The only thing they didn't see was worry.

"These are the communication personnel we Kirigakure selected this time. If there are no problems... let's start now?"

"We have no problem."

Dai Dao looked at these ninjas in Kirigakure Village and found that there were also big and small among them.It's just that compared to the age range of samurai, who are at least 15 years old, the lower age limit of ninjas seems to be a bit exaggerated. There are even some people here who are obviously still children.

However, he also understood that the growth curve of ninjas was very different from that of samurai, and age was not necessarily related to strength.So I just took a second look and didn't raise any objections.

"Okay, then..."

Araki jumped on a thick wooden stake, sat cross-legged, and said loudly to the two groups below, "I already outlined the rules of this competition yesterday, and I will emphasize them again today. The purpose of the competition is communication. Swordsmanship, so don’t use abilities that are not included in the field of swordsmanship. All ninjutsu except the teleportation technique are included in this list! If you accidentally use it, you will immediately lose. Do you understand?"

"understand!"

The crowd responded in unison.

"Isn't this... a bit too harsh? Some physical habits are difficult to change for a while..."

asked the man with a knife beside him.

For people who have experienced many battles, some reactions have already been formed as muscle memory. If they want to deliberately avoid them during battle, they will disrupt their own rhythm.

"It doesn't matter, this is a swordsmanship exchange after all, so naturally the purer the better."

Araki waved his hand, "Then, who comes first, Mr. Da Dao?"

"Yagyu, you go."

After the sword-wielding voice fell, a thin man who looked about 20 years old took a step forward from the samurai team.

"Isshin Yagyu, a middle-ranking warrior in the Iron Kingdom, please give me some advice."

"Your Excellency, don't you plan to wear armor?"

Araki looked at the Yagyu samurai who was only wearing a thin training uniform and couldn't help turning his head and asked.

You must know that except for a few warriors in the Kingdom of Iron, most of them are dressed like astronauts, with heavy armor covering themselves airtight.

"It's just a competition of swordsmanship. There is no need to wear armor. Wearing armor will affect the completion of swordsmanship movements."

He shook his head with a knife.

"Ok."

Seeing the other party's insistence, Araki said no more, "Since you are an intermediate samurai, then Zabuza, this first battle is up to you!"

"Yes!"

The eyebrowless boy responded indifferently and stepped forward, "Kirigakure Chunin Momochi Zabuza."

"You can let go and fight. Your Excellency Da Dao and I will be the referees. You don't have to worry about any irreversible consequences."

After Araki gave them a reassurance, he waved his hand and said, "Let's get started!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yagyu Isshin immediately lowered his waist, held the handle of the knife with one hand, and lowered his body as low as possible.

bass!

With a soft sound, silver light burst out, and his whole figure appeared directly in front of Zabuza as if he teleported. The sword in his hand cut across the circle, and blue chakra wrapped around the sword, like a spreading wave of water. It seems to cut the enemy in half.

[Yagyu-ryu·Dash the sword]!

Ding!

There was a crisp sound, and Zabuza held the handle of the knife backwards. The half-unsheathed blade was tilted in front of him, just in time to block the opponent's attack. The deep purple and red ghost energy also wrapped around the weapon, interacting with the opponent's chakra. entangled.

"Good sword-drawing skills."

The mouth covered by the bandage mumbled out half a sentence, and then he exerted his strength with his arms and continued to lift upwards!

The two sharp blades that were fighting suddenly became different. Isshin Yagyu was knocked away by Zabuza's sword, and he took three or four steps back as if he couldn't stand.

He is obviously the bigger one among the two!But in terms of strength, he is completely inferior to the other party!

Many of the warriors watching the battle exclaimed.

When he finally stabbed his body with the blade on the ground, the sharp blade wrapped in ghost energy had already stopped at his chin, and if it went further, it would be the fatal throat.

"I surrender."

Although the fight was only one round, Yagyu Isshin was already sweating profusely. He only felt that the color of chakra wrapped around the opponent's weapon was rare, and at a glance, he would be filled with all kinds of crying and killing sounds. Completely unable to concentrate.

The first game ended so quickly, which Da Dao never expected.

And in this scene, Momochi Zabuza did not show any excessive strength, speed or swordsmanship skills.

Even the sword that knocked back Yagyu couldn't be said to be a crushing force, it was just a bit unexpected.

So he was very dissatisfied with Yagyu Isshin's performance, so he immediately ordered the next samurai, "Nakajo, go ahead!"

Nakajo Eita is also an intermediate samurai, but compared with the previous Yagyu Isshin, his figure is larger in all aspects.

The idea behind carrying a knife is simple, aren’t you powerful?Then I will find you a more powerful opponent.

I can't believe I can't take you down!

The burly Nakajo Eita's fighting style is completely different from Yagyu Isshin. He raised the sword high with both arms, and then swung it downwards fiercely: "Chessboard cut!"

hum-

The thick blade swayed through the air and made a dull sound. White air waves visible to the naked eye even exploded on both sides of the blade. This shows that the force of this blow is by no means comparable to before.

but!

Even so, he didn't get any advantage in front of the sharp blade that was wrapped in purple ghost energy.

"Ghost Sword Technique·Iron Cutting Style!"

clang! ! !

The two blades clashed, and both of them retreated at the same time, but Zabuza immediately waved his arms again.

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!

The ghostly energy wrapped around his sword suddenly took shape and turned into independent air blades, shooting at Eita Nakajo on the opposite side with the force of a gust of wind and rain.

"Ghost Sword Technique·Storm Style!"
