Chapter 133 Don’t fail meaninglessly, fail for success

"Tatsuma, let me go first later. You should pay more attention to the fighting style of the Iron Kingdom warriors. It doesn't matter if I lose, but it would be great if you can win."

The next day, in the locker room of a kendo gym, Minato, who was wearing protective gear, looked at Tatsuma and said in a serious tone.

Yesterday, after they finished their meeting with Mifune and returned to the residence prepared for them in the Kingdom of Iron, Orochimaru and the other three began a very long teaching course for the two of them.

Teach them how to deal with the warriors of the Iron Kingdom. Of course, the emphasis is on teaching Tatsuma. In fact, they have talked about it before setting off and on the way.

Jiraiya taught Minato one-handed seals, and Tsunade recommended Senju Tobirama's simplified notes on the Water Release Seal style to Tatsuma, all for the purpose of fighting against the Iron Country warriors.

It's just that what was dealt with at that time was a situation where the talks were ineffective, the two sides turned against each other, or when encountering rebel samurai in or around the Iron Kingdom, they had a plan to not lose in battle with the samurai.

But Orochimaru and the others never expected that Tatsuma actually agreed to Mifune's originally polite invitation, and even connected the content of the invitation with the purpose of their trip.

In this way, Tatsuma must have enough means and intelligence to deal with the samurai. However, Orochimaru and the other three rarely fight against samurai. The occasional fight was only with ineffective rebel samurai in the early years.

Those experiences were helpful, but the help was really limited. In fact, Minato was asked to be an abandoned son to test the methods of the Iron Country warriors. Orochimaru and others also thought about it, but they did not say it out loud.

Minato's intelligence also allowed him to easily think of this method that could help Tatsuma. Minato was now infected by Tatsuma and became a competitive person, but he did not have Tatsuma's almost fanatical desire to win.

Moreover, Minato's competitiveness was mostly reflected in his battle with Tatsuma. Minato was not that eager to win against others, so he came up with the idea of ​​testing it himself.

After hearing Minato's suggestion, Tatsuma thought for a moment and said, "Minato, you can go first, but I hope you can fight in the way you are most comfortable with, instead of deliberately testing the opponent.

We are dealing with different opponents. In the finals just now, I actually saw something, but I didn't need you to collect intelligence for me.

Also, your opponent, the guy with a sword, must be careful with his slashes. Obviously he is also a person who has practiced the changes in the properties of wind chakra, so be more aware to avoid being accidentally injured. "

Minato nodded and said: "I will pay attention. By the way, your opponent's observation ability is inferior to that of many ninjas. I have only seen it in senior Uchiha Fugaku and senior Hyuga ninjas.

In the past, you would unconsciously expose your left shoulder as a vulnerability when fighting, but facing these samurai with long swords, the risk of showing off your vulnerability is too great, so try to be safe. "

Tatsuma also felt the same and said: "That guy who went bald at a young age is really difficult to deal with, and his physical training is also very strong. When he fights with a sword, it's not like the first versus the second at all, but more like The gap between the chief and the crane tail is too big."

The two briefly communicated their views on their respective opponents, then checked whether the other party was wearing the laminated armor correctly, whether there were any missing parts or loose knots, and then left the locker room.

Back at the kendo hall, many people watching the battle had left. After all, the winner had been determined. Although Mifune said there would be "sideshows," not many people were willing to stay.

After all, many samurai feel that samurai are stronger than ninjas, and ninjas have no chance of connecting under their swords, let alone two younger children.

After the two people wearing laminated armor walked out, Orochimaru and the other three looked at them slightly solemnly and worriedly. However, when they saw Tatsuma, the three of them were obviously stunned.

When they were young, they all experienced the reign of the Second Hokage Senju Tobirama, and they all met Senju Tobirama, especially Tsunade, who was even more familiar with Senju Tobirama.

But because she was so familiar with him, she felt that Tatsuma and her second grandfather were not very similar, so she would not tease Tatsuma and Tobirama about their resemblance like some dim-eyed old guys.

But now Tatsuma, who was dressed in blue laminated armor and had a serious face, appeared in front of her. Tsunade was also in a trance. For a moment or two, she really saw the figure of her second grandfather.

Although the face is still different, although the age is not the same and the hairstyle is not the same, the feeling is too similar.

Even Tsunade, a person familiar with Senju Tobirama, was like this, let alone Jiraiya and Orochimaru who only had a rough impression of Senju Tobirama. Mifune in the main seat also had a look of emotion on his face.

Looking away, Mifune looked at the two teenage boys, Bandao, who was second in the swordsmanship competition, and Okisuke, who was first in the swordsmanship competition, and asked, "Are you ready?"

Obita and Okusuke nodded. In fact, the two of them didn't spend much effort at all. After all, the two faced off for three minutes, and then they swung their swords only three times. Okusuke's knife was placed on Obita's neck.

Seeing the two young swordsmen getting ready, Mifune also looked at Tatsuma and Minato and asked, "Have you decided on the order of appearance?"

Minato nodded, stepped onto the stone platform in the center of the kendo gym, and said, "I'll go first."

Minato came first, and as Mifune expected, he looked at Obito and said, "Taitao, go ahead."

Dai Dao nodded, first sat upright, picked up the long sword at hand, then stood up, and walked to the center of the stone platform. Minato formed the Seal of Opposition, Dai Dao also squatted and saluted, and then made a gesture to draw the sword. , said:

"I'm carrying a knife, please give me some advice."

"Please give me some advice on Xiabao Fengshuimen."

Namikaze Minato bluntly revealed his real name, but Mifune didn't seem to care. He just sat upright and said, "Start!"

The moment he finished speaking, Namikaze Minato did not pull out the long sword that was also attached to his waist, but directly threw several shurikens towards the sword.

"Ding Ding Ding ~"

A trace of surprise flashed across Dai Dao's face. After all, swordsmen would not attack so quickly, and it was not a real battle or assassination. However, Dai Dao quickly recovered and swung his sword to knock down the shuriken.

Minato took advantage of this gap and retreated quickly, putting some distance between him and Kato. Minato didn't know how to use a long sword at all. The distance just now was a comfort zone for Kato, and for him, it was The uncomfortable zone.

At the same time as he pulled away, Minato also started to reach out to form a seal, but the sword had already reacted at this time. Seeing that Minato wanted to form a seal, he stepped in front of Minato in an instant, and his speed was no slower than the teleportation technique used by many chunin. .

Facing the sword that suddenly came in front of him, Minato was shocked for a moment, but he reacted very quickly. Seeing the sword swinging in and out, he stopped retreating, kicked his legs, and rushed in Within the attack range of the knife.

A kunai also appeared in Minato's hand. He held the kunai and stabbed towards the sword. The sword frowned. He did not expect Minato's reaction and response to be so fast. He quickly closed the knife to block.

"Ding~"

The kunai hit the blade of the sword, causing some sparks from the friction. The sword's hands shook at this moment, knocking Minato away a little distance, and then he swung the sword again, but his footsteps had already stabilized, which gave Minato a chance.

A change of direction, while dodging the blade of the sword, also deflected the wind chakra attached to the slash of the sword. Minato landed on the ground and changed direction again without saying a word, because the sword had already followed.

"Sure enough, I am still too young and suffer too much physically."

Orochimaru commented softly, and Jiraiya and Tsunade nodded slightly. Minato was indeed a genius, but his age restricted his growth, and his strength and speed were not as good as the older Kato.

Among his peers, Minato's advantage was that he developed his body earlier, but now when faced with the stronger Kato, his advantage was almost completely lost.

At this time, Dai Dao also adapted to Minato's fighting habits, and the attacks became more and more fierce, and Minato barely managed to hide.

‘This can’t go on like this. ’

Minato secretly made up his mind, waved his right hand, and the kunai blocked the blade of the sword again. At the same time, he raised his left hand and started to form seals. The one-hand seal made the sword stunned for a moment.

But no one had ever told him that a ninja could form seals with one hand.

"Fire Escape! Flame Bullet!"

At this time, Minato finally finished forming the seal. He raised his left hand, took a deep breath, and then spit out a mouthful of kerosene. The moment the kerosene was spit out, the kerosene ignited the flames, forming a cloud of flames, and threw them at the knife.

"Secret sword! Slash in the air!"

Although Dai Dao was surprised, it was only a very short-lived surprise. When he came to his senses, the wind attribute chakra quickly climbed up the blade. As he swung the sword, the slash blessed by Wind Escape saw flames slicing through it.

Minato was a little disappointed when he saw the sword dodge his attack. After all, in order to activate this technique, he blocked the sword attack with one hand, but his hand was still a little numb now.

But the sword did not give Minato time, and he was pressed again. Minato could only deal with the continuous swordsmanship of the sword, and he kept looking for opportunities to use ninjutsu in the middle.

But the speed with the sword was too fast, and what was even more valuable was that the sword was young and had rich combat experience, so he chased after Minato, not allowing Minato to distance himself, nor allowing Minato to get really close.

After dozens of fights, the moment Minato finally managed to avoid the attack with the blade, he was kicked in the chest by the blade. The force of the kick made it difficult for him to be ten years old, who was neither tall nor big.

Minato, who was underweight, was kicked out of the stone platform with a knife.

"I lost."

Rubbing his chest, Minato stood up, fell back to the stone platform again, and said with a smile: "You are very powerful, I will try my best to surpass you."

After saying that, Minato formed the Seal of Reconciliation, nodded with his sword, and said: "You are also very good. At your age, I am far inferior to you."

After thinking about it, he still reached out and touched Minato's finger with the knife. As a winner, he must have some grace and grace.

The two of them stepped off the stage respectively. The young and bald Okousuke also came to the center of the stone platform. He watched Minato and Minato rubbing their hair together. After whispering for a while, Tatsuma came to the center of the stone platform and said:

"You should admit defeat. Your level should be about the same as your companions, right? You have no possibility of victory. If you don't have strong faith, you can't defeat me."

Hearing Okisuke's words, Tatsuma grinned with a contagious smile and said: "What I admire the most are unruly people like you, because after defeating someone like you, what you bring The satisfaction is beyond words.”

Okisuke understood the meaning behind Tatsuma's words and understood that Tatsuma would never give up. He squatted down and saluted obediently, and then said: "Okisuke, please give me some advice."

"Sakamoto Tatsuma, please give me some advice."
