Onogi of the two scales, Master Tsuchikage of the Land of Earth, is a strong man who has gone through several ninja wars and even fought against Uchiha Madara.

Kiyohiko, as a ninja of Konoha Village, of course does not need and cannot perform this kind of salute to the shadow of the land of earth, so he just stood upright among a large group of ninjas, and nodded slightly to the earth shadow who was much shorter than himself: "Master Tukage."

"Hmph, Konoha's ninja..."

Onogi clicked his tongue: "You are the one, the remaining Uchiha clan in Konoha Village in the information?"

"—Although I don't know what information the Land of Earth has obtained."

Kiyohiko's voice paused: "It's indeed Uchiha Kiyohiko."

Onoki stared at the young man in front of him and remained silent for a long time.

The Uchiha clan often has astounding geniuses, whether it is Uchiha Madara or Uchiha Itachi, but the guy in front of him doesn’t seem to have any outstanding achievements in ninjas—well, it’s a special sense of ninja The appearance is already very good, but considering that there is Uchiha Shisui before and Uchiha Itachi after Uchiha Itachi, these talented jewels of the same family are in front, and a special Jnin sandwiched in the middle seems a bit insufficient.

But he survived.

In this chaotic world, "alive" itself is the most important strength and luck. Everyone said that Onogi had a battle with Uchiha Madara, but it was actually Uchiha Madara's intentional release of water and his own forced escape.

But alive will have infinite possibilities. For example, he has survived the next two Ninja World Wars and has become Tsuchikage.

Uchiha Kiyohiko and Uchiha Madara, apart from the same surname, it can be said that there is nothing in common... Onogi coughed: "Daichi learned about some things you did in the country of wind-this is not our intelligence. Department, even the Kingdom of the Wind has not covered it up at all."

In fact, not only was there no cover, but Gaara also worked hard to use precious water resources to plant a crop of melons and commissioned Temari and Maki to give them to Daimyo, euphemistically saying that this is evidence of the transformation of the ninja self-reliance industry in their hidden sand village , A little congratulatory gift to express your heart, please accept it with a smile.

The daimyos used to walk around with each other, and occasionally exchanged letters. The daimyo from the Land of Fire originally showed off the "famous wine" he got from his ninja village. This time, the daimyo from the Land of Wind certainly didn't lose face. , and bragged back triumphantly——as soon as everyone connected and exchanged information with each other, they found that it was a bit confusing.

"—The congratulatory gift on your side was also attended by that ninja named Kiyohiko?"

They said in unison.

"It's a rare thing to grow melons in the sand... Is it some kind of advanced ninjutsu?"

The daimyo of the Kingdom of the Wind rubbed his chin: "But I didn't expect that there would be such an exchange between their ninjas. It's really interesting."

"It's the same with this wine—forget it, I also ordered a batch of goods from Tsunade in Konoha Village. When the next batch of red wine arrives, I will drink it with you."

Again, although the ninjas are fighting to the death, the relationship between the daimyos is actually quite reasonable. At least they have always maintained a plastic friendship of superficial peace and can play mahjong with each other. Therefore, in the next gathering, the daimyos and wind All the daimyos in the country have come up with brand-new famous items provided by their Ninja Village, and the name Uchiha Kiyohiko is known to the daimyos to a small extent.

Mizukage has just taken office, let's not say for the time being, but Tukage was asked for military expenses by the daimyo when he asked the daimyo for military expenses - it made the little old man so angry that his back hurt.

"What the hell does he think of a ninja!"

As soon as he left the daimyo's mansion, Huang Tu said indignantly: "What do you mean other ninja villages are doing all kinds of interesting businesses... Shouldn't the ninja's job be to hurry up and become stronger!"

"—There is no need to be obsessed with these, Huangtu."

Onogi's voice sounded very calm: "It's good to have a face-saving conversation with the daimyo... It's just that I didn't expect Konoha to help Sa Yin so much this time. It's really surprising. After China has done something like that, maybe the flames of war between the two countries will be rekindled."

He has even made plans to seek benefits from it. As long as the land of fire and the land of wind rekindle the war, then the land of earth will have the opportunity to take advantage of the situation to take part in the war and seize the interests of any one of them according to the situation, even just to be like the past. Several ninja battles for revenge, this abacus is a steady profit.

But I didn't expect Konoha's Tsunade Hime to actually suppress this matter, and not only suppressed it, but also re-concluded the peace agreement of the Land of Winds.

This skill and foresight are exactly the same as those of the Three Hokages.

Looking at the young man with neither humble nor overbearing attitude in front of him, Onogi's mood was extremely complicated.

"—Is it the mission Tsunade Hime entrusted to you by purchasing blue sheep from the Land of Earth and exchanging them with deer from the Konoha Nara clan?"

"It's entirely my own personal will, but if necessary, I will let Tsunade-sama know in advance."

The young man saluted him shyly: "I'm just kidding you, I have a few ineffective caravans in my hands, none of the members are ninjas, and I have been going back and forth between various countries to communicate and trade recently. If you If you can agree, we will also go to the Land of Earth with sincerity—the goods will not let you down."

Onogi, the two-day scale, glanced at him, but didn't speak up immediately.His first reaction was "a new era intelligence group organized by young people", but when he thought about the appearance of the daimyo of the land of fire and the daimyo of the land of wind, he hesitated again - he didn't know whether he should immediately reject the other party.

"Hmph, only the Kingdom of Wind is willing to let you act recklessly like this."

Tuying snorted contemptuously, without a clear agreement or objection, just gave him a meaningful look, then his whole body floated up, turned around and flew towards Tuying's office.

After a while, Qingyan turned around and looked at the blue sheep farm manager who had been waiting by his side, and asked, "Then does the contract we just signed still count?"

"Forget it, let's do it."

The other party replied with a somewhat inexplicable expression: "Since Master Tukage didn't disagree..."

So this business was happily finalized. Of course, there are still many detailed issues in the follow-up, such as how to transport blue sheep, and the cold chain logistics after slaughter-he intends to let ninjas from the Snow Country pick them up. This extra money list, anyway, the task is not difficult, and it can be carried out by handing it over to the ninja-there are countless troubles, so in the recent period, Nankai Taro Chaozun has been so busy that he never touched the ground.

And the second round of the Chunin exam has also entered a white-hot stage.

No matter which ninja village you take the exam in, Gaara's trio's efficiency is jaw-droppingly high - the three of them lack perceptual ninjas, and only Gaara's Sand Eyes is better than nothing. Naturally, it is not suitable for this place Looking for a pass order in a mountainous area, they adopted the simplest and most brutal method, that is, squatting in the center of the theater, frantically robbing every team they encountered.

That's not to mention, they can even torture the team with sentient ninjas, forcing the other party to work for them, so the three siblings almost ended the exam at a dizzying speed, even the invigilators were shocked .

——But considering that these are the son and daughter of the former Kazekage, it may not be so surprising.

After leaving the examination room, there was a month of preparation time before the third test as usual. Temari and Kankuro made an appointment at the training ground for self-discipline training. Anbu and others seemed a little taken aback, and gave up after going there twice.

——The endless desert near Hidden Sand Village is still suitable for him to play.

Ninjutsu training is not in a hurry for this month. It is true that you can find an opponent if you are a martial artist. Gaara has two contradictory qualities of expressionlessness and politeness. When he found Kiyohiko, he expressed his hope that the opponent could use a sword After Shu came to give him some moves, many people were taken aback.

"The illusion ninjas and medical ninjas in your team don't match up well with your own combat style."

Gaara said solemnly: "And the ninjutsu-type ninja—the one named Sai, he doesn't need you to guide and train him, does he?"

In fact, Sai has the strength of Chunin, and may even have the rank of Chunin. Outsiders may not know about it, but considering that this guy once went to the Land of Wind with Kiyohiko, Third Sister Sand Yin The younger brother really knows it well, but the three of them have no intention of destroying the peaceful relationship between the two countries during this exam, and they are completely resigned and tacit.

"Well, do you want to learn from each other, or... let me feed you?"

Qingyan raised his eyebrows, a little surprised: "It's really rare, you would have such an idea."

"No matter what, I want to try to fight senior Qingyan."

Gaara nodded slightly, and said solemnly: "And there are just a lot of things that need to be consulted—including planting and management."

"In terms of the use of sand, I also want to get rid of the characteristic of always using automatic defense to protect myself as much as possible, and use this power more actively and flexibly... This requires high-speed body skills that can break through absolute defense. "

Gaara's words paused: "Mr. Kiyohiko, can you use a similar sword technique?"

In general, the ninja sword skills are very good, especially Konoha Shirato's short sword technique is famous for its speed. Moonlight Hayate and Uzuki Yugao's Konoha Ryu sword technique also rely on the shadow clone to attack from a dead angle. The profound meaning of drawing a sword and slashing lies in "making the opponent unable to detect the attack range", so Gaara's question can be said to be quite satisfactory.

"It's not impossible to try."

Kiyohiko smiled, turned his body slightly, and took a half-tachi sword about three-quarters the length of his arm from the training ground: "Then please give me your advice, Gaara."

Among ninjas with outstanding strength, even if it is a competition, other people may gain knowledge by looking at it. Whether it is the absolute defense of Sand Hidden Village or the Uchiha Clan of Konoha Village, it sounds like a gimmick, so even if it is In a small training ground, there were a lot of people scattered around - there were three teams from Muye Village, and two teams from Shayin Village, so that the number of people could be gathered casually. Small piece of auditorium too.

"If you don't use that strange sword of yours, you'll be at a disadvantage against Gaara."

Temari folded his arms and stood against the wall: "You are quite brave. When facing absolute defense, you dare to casually use the standard weapons provided on the training ground."

"If it's not your own sword, you don't have to worry about damage caused by inadvertent use. In fact, I have used Anbu's unified straight sword for a long time. Thanks to my experience in the past few years, as long as it is a sword, no matter what size it is. It's easy."

Kiyohiko tied the sword around his waist, stepped out his legs and made a lunge, clenched a hollow fist with his right hand, and flirtatiously protruded towards Hantachi.

This is one of the common starting moves of samurai. The ninja's saber is often carried behind his back, and the movement of drawing the sword is also different, but this time it is a one-on-one sparring instead of assassination. Pass.

Considering the characteristics of absolute defense, Gaara is used to defending and counterattacking, and rarely takes the initiative to attack, so he just keeps vigilant, Shi Shiran stands on the other side of the training ground, waiting for Kiyoko to attack at any time.

In the past, Ah Qing was a half-ninjutsu-type ninja, and the Uchiha clan's fire escape technique was well practiced, which belonged to the type of balanced development, but now it seems that it is a bit biased toward a body-jutsu-type ninja.Kakashi couldn't help raising his forehead, opened Sharingan, and tried to observe the opponent's movements more carefully. As a pure physical ninja, Maitekai was also very interested, even if he had that tendency Because of the fist-to-flesh type, he is not very proficient in weapons, so it is also very insightful to have the opportunity to take a look at sword skills.

"Then—start!"

Kankuro stood in the middle of the field and waved his hand forward abruptly, signaling the opening of the sparring session, but neither of the two people on the field moved.

Qingyan lowered his eyes slightly, and his breath became quiet.

The sound of blood rushing in the blood vessels, the sound of the steady beating of the heart, the sound of the lungs expanding to accommodate air, the sound of breathing.

"This is……"

There was a discussion in the auditorium with lowered voices, for fear of affecting the concentration of the other party, Qing Yan's chakra did not move, but there was an inexplicable momentum, which was rising layer by layer.

"I saw this move once."

Ningji Hyuga also opened his eyes, with a very solemn expression: "At that time, Captain Kiyohiko said that he called this..."

He was not the only one who had been on missions with Qing Yan, Sai also looked at the training ground quite seriously, and took up the other party's words: "—breathe."

"He called it breathing."

As soon as the words fell, the young people on the field started to move in a split second.Lightning flashed from the fingertips to the blade, and the movement of the body was so accelerated that it was hard to see with the naked eye.

"The breath of thunder, the shape of one... a flash of thunder."

Kiyohiko moves quickly, but Gaara's absolute defense is by no means weak. Since he can clearly see the movement of the frontal charge, even if he cannot confirm the direction of the sword, if the entire range in front of him is covered by sand grains, the thin blade will It must be impenetrable.

The first blow cut deeply into the gaps in the sand, Qingyan kept moving, the rhythm of the whole attack was flowing, and he started to fight with the sand that would automatically counterattack.

"Since you can avoid the speed of the sand, try this move!"

Gai Luo clapped his hands together, and the sand formed several torrents, attacking Qing Yan almost unavoidably, but the black-haired young man who was blocking the attack route did not panic because of this, flipped his wrists, and the blade on the blade Lei Guang is even better.

"The breath of thunder, the shape of three, gathering mosquitoes into thunder!"

The sound of thunder and lightning chattering and trembling in the air is like thousands of mosquitoes and flies buzzing together. This move is not a rush technique like Kakashi's Raikiri. It burst out and slashed in different directions almost at the same time, slashing all Gaara's attacks under the knife.

Thunder Dun is the nemesis of Tu Dun, and Tu Dun is inextricably linked with the sand used by Gaara.

Hit by the breath of thunder, the sand fell rustlingly, but Gaara was not discouraged, and immediately started the next round of counterattack—the sand that was shaken down by Kiyohiko's feet was suddenly rolled up, Trying to restrict the opponent's movements, he squeezed a wooden plank for the substitute technique with a slam.

"Although this is a sword technique I learned from elsewhere, in essence... I am a ninja!"

Kiyohiko's teleportation technique appeared behind Gaara: "The breath of thunder, the shape of two, the soul of rice!"

Five thunder lights rushed out with the light of the knife, and slammed on the curtain wall made of sand. This blow used [-]% of its strength, and the attack was fierce from a distance. Gaara suddenly returned to defense and called A large amount of sand stood in front of him, against the forward momentum of the opponent, one after another sharp thorns protruded from the barrier formed by the sand, directly piercing through the body of the knife holder.

"……what!!"

Tian Tian, ​​​​who was on the sidelines, couldn't help exclaiming - this is really cruel...

"Don't get excited every day, just keep watching."

Maitekai patted his disciple on the shoulder and reminded him.

With a bang, Uchiha Kiyohiko who was pierced turned into a puff of white smoke and disappeared into the field. It turned out to be just a shadow clone - I don't know when it was prepared.

Turning over and sticking to the canopy, the main body was holding a sword in his hand, the tip of the knife pointed obliquely in the direction of Gaara, stabbed suddenly, and rushed towards the opponent with the acceleration of gravity.

"The breath of thunder, the shape of one, the flash of a thunderbolt!"

Between lightning and flint, the whole person's figure was as swift as thunder.Kiyohiko maintained the movement of holding the tip of the knife at the height of the ear temples, and with a backhand blood vibration, only a little gravel was shaken off the blood groove on the back of the knife, and there was an obvious thin mark on Gaara's face, Sand also fell down tremblingly, and the wound healed slowly with the passage of time.

——The sand armor all over the body blocked the blow just now.

This is just practice, neither of them showed all their true skills, Kiyohiko didn't use ninjutsu and more sword skills, and Gaara never used sand waterfall burial, which can make people shatter fractures all over the body. , so it can only be said that the results are evenly matched.

The two each formed a seal of reconciliation.

"Sand's absolute defense is very strong, but the speed is still not enough for a pure physical ninja. If there is a way to improve your sand's speed on this basis, your strength will surely reach a new level. Bar."

Qingyan calmly withdrew the knife: "Of course, this requires very arduous cultivation."

Gaara nodded: "I will continue to practice."

Kakashi put down his forehead protector and covered his only Sharingan with a complicated expression.

"Ah Qing... how many sword skills and derivative skills are there in total for the 'breath of thunder' you used?"

The ninjas retreated one after another after watching a game. As for the moment of discussing the secrets of physical arts, everyone defaulted to not being able to eavesdrop.

The two jumped out of the window one after the other and stood on the roof.

"Thunder's breath has seven types in total. I can't learn the seventh type. I can only use the other ones to six types."

Qing Yan expressed frankly: "It is a skill learned in another world."

Kakashi narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Your movements don't look like you've mastered this sword skill like you've mastered it. On the contrary, it reflects the state of learning sword skill as if you've learned a ninjutsu... Like this traditional Skills should be learned through years of tempering."

The silver-haired Jōnin said slowly: "You know, I have copied more than a thousand kinds of ninjutsu, so I am quite sensitive to the perception of such details."

This doesn't look like a knife technique honed after years of hard work, but it's not like you can't learn it all. If you really want to say it, it's more like...

——It's more like copying it with Sharingan.

Specifically, it is "copied with Sharingan, but because Sharingan was not turned on during the battle, there is a slight inconsistency".

His Raiqie needs to be used with Sharingan because it needs to rely on Sharingan for dynamic vision correction. In the previous battles, it may be because the knife used is in line with the owner's wishes, so there is no difference, but Only this time, Qingyan used the standard weapons provided by the training ground, which made him, a person who "really has Sharingan", see some clues.

But Uchiha Kiyohiko "did not open Sharingan". This point was not only told to Tenzo verbally, but even Master Tsunade had an eye examination in person afterwards, otherwise Danzo would not be able to give up so easily.

"Qing, you—"

"You didn't use your own sword on purpose, right?"
