Konoha Thief

Chapter 199

Chapter 199

The wooden knife pierced the air and made a sharp sound. In the suburban practice field to the southeast of Muye Village, the young man was upright, as if he was holding a weapon with his own edge.

"That's right, this sword already has my [-]% power." Kosuke Maruhoshi stood with his hands behind his back, nodding his head and giving a satisfactory evaluation.

The figure of the young man in the field flickered, and suddenly turned into two. In a hurry, Kosuke Maruhoshi couldn't tell which was real and which was fake, so he couldn't help being startled.

"Master, what do you think of my sword?" Xia Shu put away his sword and stood up, looking at Kosuke Maruhoshi outside the arena with a smile.

Kosuke Maruhoshi pondered for a while, and then said: "You can't think about it, you are fast and agile before you show your sharpness, and you will move forward after showing your sharpness."

"Is there any more?" Xia Shu showed off.

"Hehe! Is this testing me?" Maruyoshi Kosuke smiled kindly, and continued: "Your sword is based on the two shadows, incorporating the light and flexible Yun Zhongyan, and Ruo Jianya Li The flying feathers of strings combine the subtleties of both, am I right?"

"That's right, master really has accurate eyesight." Xia Shu nodded quickly, raised his hand and pointed in praise.

"You have come out of the cage for the first time with this sword, and you have realized your own things." Maruhoshi Kosuke was lamenting the boy's talent.

"The disciple is still far behind." Xia Shu said modestly.

"Hehe! You!" Kosuke Maruhoshi shook his head when he heard the words, and didn't say much, and changed the subject: "For your swordsmanship, the only thing I can teach you is the Konoha Ryu Profound Truth, but about that Don’t worry, I’ll teach you something else this time.”

"What else?" Xia Shu was a little eager for that move of Konohaliu Liu, but he had always been an excellent young man who respected his teachers and elders, so naturally he couldn't force him, so he showed an expectant expression instead.

"You have already mastered the technique of shadow clone, but for this move, even with the foundation of shadow clone technique, it is still not easy to learn." Xia Shu was useless, he guessed what the other party was referring to when he heard the words.

"Come to me and watch my seal gesture." Kosuke Maruhoshi said as he grabbed a stack of shurikens and glanced at the young man beside him. Already flying out in a row, at this moment, Maruyoshi Kosuke quickly formed a seal, "Chou-xu-chen-zi-xu-hai-si-yin, shuriken shadow clone art!"

At the moment when the seal was completed, the flying shuriken quickly copied, and in a blink of an eye, it had spread all over the space in front of the eyes, and the sight was terrifying.

The shuriken like a net smashed through the barbed wire fence of the training ground, and more shurikens flew into the depths of the woods, and the shurikens left behind were densely packed into the stakes. If such an attack falls on Thinking about what the result will be on a human body makes one's scalp tingle.

"It's amazing!" Xia Shu was not stingy about being surprised, and was greatly impressed by this. It is worthy of the moves of the third generation of Hokage, and it naturally exudes atmosphere.

"Have you remembered the order of sealing?" Kosuke Maruhoshi turned his head with a smile.

"Well, I remember." Xia Shu nodded immediately.

"That's good, you can try it out." Kosuke Maruhoshi raised a finger and said, "Before that, let me tell you a trick."

Xia Shu immediately held his breath, and acted as if he was listening.

"Four seconds." Kosuke Maruhoshi squinted his eyes and said, "If you control the sealing time within four seconds, you will be able to display the best effect of this ninjutsu."

"Well, I see." Xia Shu thought carefully and understood the reason.

Leaving aside the motivational meaning in the so-called "four seconds" secret, the Shuriken Shadow Cloning Art is a ninjutsu that covers a large area with overwhelming force. Except when facing a large number of enemies, it wants to be effective. It is necessary to ensure that the enemy cannot leave the strike range, and the method of shortening the release speed is the best way.

After hearing the trick, Xia Shu got familiar with the knot seal again, and then grabbed the shuriken and started to try.

"Shuriken, Shadow Clone Technique!"

After the seal was completed, there was a deep shout, and under the action of Chakra, the shurikens that flew out began to replicate, quickly changing from a few pieces to one piece, but as Kosuke Maruhoshi said before, even with the shadow clone technique as the basis , this technique is still extremely difficult.

"There is a change in the first attempt, Xia Shu, you are already worthy of pride." Kosuke Maruhoshi always thought that this apprentice was too modest, so he took the opportunity to praise.

"Master, I will continue to work hard." Xia Shu seemed to have misunderstood, clenched his fists to encourage himself, grabbed the shuriken and continued to throw, raised his hands to quickly seal, and shouted: "Shuriken shadow clone art !"

Maruhoshi Kosuke was relieved, but also a little helpless, he could only watch from the sidelines and give some pointers from time to time.

At dusk, after saying goodbye to Kosuke Maruhoshi, Natsuki ran all the way down the cliff.

Looking up at the steep cliff, he took a deep breath, put one hand on his back, and began to climb up.

Chakra cannot be used during the climbing process. This is a practice for the body, and it is done once a day in the morning and evening. It is for this reason that Maite Dai is willing to teach him the lotus body technique.

"Xia Shu-kun is still so punctual." Maitedai ​​squatted on the edge of the cliff, and suddenly poked his head out. If Xia Shu hadn't held Xia Shu very firmly with only one hand, he might have fallen with his head up due to the fright.

"Give me a hand." Xia Shu stretched out the hand behind his back, pretending not to be frightened, which made Matt Dai look disappointed, and he didn't know where the evil came from.

Grasping the rough palm, Xia Shu climbed up, the cold wind blew the hair on his forehead, and the autumn leaves came into his eyes.

It is now the middle of October in the 38th year of Konoha, and the season of autumn is getting stronger. Since the holiday, the root call has not been issued, as if he and the mountain wind have been forgotten.

This made Natsuki even think that the roots had given up on them, and asked Kosuke Maruhoshi specifically for this, and Kosuke Maruhoshi asked Sandai Hokage again, but the result was a vague answer of continuing the holiday.

In addition, Maruyoshi Kosuke also conveyed the meaning of Hiruza Sarutobi, saying that if you feel bored, you can go to accept the task normally.

Whether there is an unspoken hidden meaning in it, Xia Shu doesn't know, but he doesn't have much hope for the promise of moving away from the root.

He didn't go to accept the task, and he finally got the vacation. Of course, he had to do some relaxing things, and cultivation was his way of relaxing.

Even when you are on a mission, even if it is easy, you have to be on guard, which can be called mental tension. In that state, the efficiency of cultivation is naturally not high, far inferior to that in Konoha.

During the vacation, he climbed the cliff once every morning and evening. After reaching the top, he practiced with Matt Dai who was waiting here. be joyful and fulfilling.
