Chapter 45 Konoha Style Swordsmanship
March 23.
It has been a week since the formation of Team 7.
Konoha was very stable during this period. If there was a big event, it was Uchiha Shisui of the Uchiha clan, who performed brilliantly in the Chunin Exam and finally won the first place.
Since only one or two years have passed since the Third World War, although a peace treaty has been signed, the relationship between Konoha and other major ninja villages is still very ordinary.
No one knows how long this peace treaty can last, so the ninjas from the other four major countries were not invited to the Chunin Exam this time.
Even if they were really invited, other major countries might not be willing to send their village's talented ninjas to Konoha to prevent accidents.
On the contrary, some small ninja villages around Konoha were very considerate and took the initiative to request to participate in Konoha's Chunin Exam before Konoha issued an invitation.
On the one hand, they wanted to increase their connection with Konoha, and on the other hand, they also wanted to train their own village's ninjas.
If their own ninjas can perform well in the Chunin Exam, it will also be of great benefit to the village.
However, this session was destined to be the stage for the Uchiha clan. There were 12 Genin who were promoted to Chunin, and three of them were from the Uchiha clan.
The most eye-catching one among them was Uchiha Shisui, who had developed his Sharingan to the level of three magatama at the age of 11.
If the hundreds of Genin who participated in the Chunin exam this year were divided into two levels, then Uchiha Shisui would be in the first level.
All the others were in the second level, even the Genin of the Hyuga clan, the first family of Konoha, could not compete with Uchiha Shisui.
In addition to the Sharingan, Shisui's magical "flash body technique" also made all the candidates scalp numb, and no one could be his opponent.
With only the three magatama Sharingan and "flash body technique", many jonin who watched the battle were secretly shocked. If they were in the same situation, they would not be sure to win against Shisui.
In this battle, Uchiha Shisui not only demonstrated the strength of Konoha's genius, but also demonstrated the demeanor of the largest village in the ninja world.
During the exam, Shisui fought just enough. Although he was the strongest, the people who fought him suffered only a few scratches.
After this battle, the Uchiha clan, which was driven to the edge of the village due to the Nine-Tails Rebellion, was proud and powerful. Many clan members compared Shisui with the late Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze.
The conclusion was that Shisui had surpassed the Fourth Hokage at the same age.
As public opinion intensified, the Third Hokage personally summoned Shisui and included him in his direct Anbu.
......
According to convention, Qianhe and his team basically carried out some D-level tasks this week, and they were the simplest among the D-level tasks.
For example, helping farmers weed, helping villagers take care of children, and finding lost pets, or cleaning up garbage.
Of course, for Qianhe, this kind of task is actually quite good. It can be solved without leaving the village, and there is no risk.
The most important thing is that it does not delay his practice time.
The two team members were quite strong. In addition to Caiyin, who had already had a deep understanding of him, Moonlight Gale's strength was beyond Qianhe's expectations. Just practicing against him could bring him a lot of gains.
What's more
Zheng!
One long and one short, two swords clashed.
Qianhe held a kunai in his left hand and a short sword in his right hand, parrying Moonlight Gale's attack.
Zheng!
He swung Moonlight Gale's sword away with one sword, but he unexpectedly retreated with the momentum, then kicked the ground with his feet, and the whole person gradually became transparent and disappeared in mid-air.
Qianhe frowned, and scanned the surroundings with a high concentration of mind, but could not find the position of Moonlight Gale.
When fighting with Kawashima Kaede before, Qianhe saw that Moonlight Gale was killed in a few seconds, and he underestimated him a little.
Now that Kawashima Kaede is so strong, even if twelve Moonlight Gale were tied together, they would not be his opponent.
The difference in strength is too large, and the effect of "Transparent Escape" is naturally weakened.
The same B-level Fire Style: Great Fire Extinguishing, used by Uchiha Madara, gives people the power of S-level Fire Style.
So any ability depends on the person and must be based on strength.
Qianhe faced the Moonlight Gale with the same strength, and had no way to deal with his "Transparent Style".
Once he was invisible, Qianhe could not detect his chakra or breath. When fighting, he could only wait for him to attack, and then counterattack the moment he appeared, which was too restrictive.
And unlike Qianhe's half-baked swordsmanship, Moonlight Gale's swordsmanship was trained hard, and even the swordsmanship master Kawashima Kaede praised his swordsmanship for his good attainments.
Qianhe's swordsmanship was only the "Black Blade Slash" brought by the Light Robbery Clone, and it still focused on sneak attacks. When encountering Moonlight Gale with the ability to be invisible, once close, he was no match for the swordsmanship.
Under the condition of similar strength, to deal with Moonlight Gale's "Transparent Style" and Konoha Style swordsmanship, either have a strong sense or have the White Eyes.
However, Qianhe does not have these two points.
So the best way is - if you can't beat them, join them!
Using the Light Robbery clone to copy one move, you will fully understand the principle of "Through Escape".
In addition, Moonlight Gale's swordsmanship talent is really strong.
These days, since the tasks are easy and can basically be completed in a few hours, Qianhe and Moonlight Gale follow Kawashima Kaede to learn in the rest of the time.
As for Ayane, she spends most of her free time training in the clan. After all, Kawashima Kaede has no experience in Byakugan and Gentle Fist and can't teach her.
In terms of ninjutsu, Qianhe showed a talent that amazed Kawashima Kaede. In just seven days, he learned the C-level ninjutsu Wind Style: Vacuum Jade taught by Kawashima Kaede, and now he has started to learn Water Style: Water Array Wall.
As for Moonlight Gale, Kawashima Kaede did not teach him any ninjutsu.
Because the 12-year-old Moonlight Gale's chakra volume is not as good as that of the 7-year-old Qianhe, it is obvious that his future chakra growth will not be as good as that of Qianhe.
So Kawashima Kaede focused on instructing him in swordsmanship, and practiced with him to help him find out the shortcomings of "Transparent Style".
Qianhe was watching from the side. Since Qianhe mastered the Wind Style: Vacuum Jade in seven days, Kawashima Kaede was not worried that he would bite off more than he could chew.
In addition, Qianhe carried a knife with him, and it was obvious that he was also interested in swordsmanship, so Kawashima Kaede also taught Qianhe Konoha Style swordsmanship.
Originally, Qianhe and Moonlight Gale were evenly matched in the battle. Now, after a week of training, Moonlight Gale consolidated and improved the swordsmanship he had learned before, and used the "Through Escape" to attack Qianhe from all kinds of tricky and strange angles, making him unable to defend.
Swish!
Moonlight Gale suddenly appeared behind Qianhe and put the back of the knife on Qianhe's shoulder.
"Gale, I lost again." Qianhe said helplessly.
Moonlight Gale smiled, "If you hold on for another five minutes, my chakra will not be enough."
Qianhe shrugged. Since it was a sparring, it was natural to use his own disadvantages to fight against others' advantages, so as to eliminate weaknesses.
Otherwise, Qianhe would split into two shadow clones, cooperate with shurikenjutsu, and use two ninjutsu to delay time, and naturally he could delay until Moonlight Gale's chakra was insufficient and then win, but what's the point of that.
Since it was a sword duel, it naturally could not be carried out in the form of a war of attrition.
"You two have made good progress, keep it up." Kawashima Kaede on the side did not hesitate to praise.
......
It was already afternoon, and Moonlight Gale continued to practice swordsmanship with Kawashima Kaede, while Qianhe walked towards the commercial street in the village.
The training was quite exhausting, and it was only three or four o'clock, and he was hungry again.
Qianhe, who was in the period of growth, naturally couldn't starve himself. When he arrived at the door of the meatball shop, he happened to meet Itachi and Shisui coming out.
