Konoha's task master

At night, the stars are bright.

In the small training ground in the hospital, Yakumo held the short blade he bought in the evening and began to imitate Hatake Kakashi's moves.

The twenty-four sword techniques used by Kakashi can be roughly divided into six categories: stabbing, chopping, picking, slicing, splitting, and horizontal. Each type has different evolutions in different aspects, and Yakumo is practicing several techniques at this time.

For the cutting and picking parts, compared to Kakashi's smoothness and naturalness, he seemed a bit out of touch.

Kakashi's sword skills are based on swiftness, so the weapon he chooses is a light short blade, which abandons the pressure of defense and slashing in exchange for more direct damage.

Emphasis is placed on skill rather than force, and on intention rather than moves.

But even if Yakumo understands this, he still cannot restore the sword skills used by Kakashi. The skills in those details cannot be obtained from observation without guidance.

"No, we can't be impatient...there are still six days."

At noon the next day, he borrowed "Introduction to the Basics of Sword Skills", "How to Use a Knife", and "A Brief Talk on Sword Skills" from the library. He planned to temporarily give up studying the basics of medical care and devote all his energy to sword skills.

In the afternoon, I still pretended to read a book and observed Kakashi practicing swordsmanship. The next day I observed him and gained more insights.

It is worth mentioning that today, for unknown reasons, Hiratani did not snatch Yakumo's homework. Instead, he was scolded by his homeroom teacher Shimizu Keisuke and kicked out for not doing his homework.

At night, Yakumo practiced the simplest basics of swordsmanship at the training ground: slashing, slashing, straight thrust, horizontal block, progressive slash, step back and block, lunge forward and straight thrust, and horizontal step down slash.

After studying "Introduction to the Basics of Swordsmanship", Yakumo Mingwu learned that learning anything is like building a building. Only by casting a good foundation can we continue to expand upward.

Assume that the sword skills demonstrated by Kakashi are at the third level, and he is a novice in sword skills. Even if he tries to imitate as much as possible, he can only end up at a level that is inconsistent with that of the horse, because he has no underlying foundation to support this kind of simulation.

.

In the training ground of the hospital, Yakumo was wearing a thin shirt, and the sword shadows were chaotic. He practiced the eight basic moves again and again. His body gradually sweated, turning into white steam steaming above his head.

"call."

Rapid breathing sounded in the training ground, and Yakumo's arms gradually became heavier, but he still gritted his teeth and persisted.

It is recorded in the book that when wielding a knife, you must keep your breathing at a constant speed and not disorderly. You must adjust the breathing frequency to match the knife in your hand. Although this will not strengthen your body, at least it will not cause breathing problems during practice...

Of course, it is easy to say, but extremely difficult to do. As time goes by, Yakumo's arms, waist, and even legs become very heavy, as if they have been filled with countless bags of lead.

It became increasingly difficult to keep his breathing steady, and finally his breathing suddenly became disordered. After Yakumo completed a standard blow, he put the knife into the sheath, put it between his legs and sat down cross-legged to regain his strength and adjust his breathing.

Sit quietly and meditate, feeling the shape, weight, and sharpness of the knife on your leg. The book says it is an extension of the weapon's body, so don't treat the knife as a foreign object, but as a part of yourself.

Ten minutes later, Yakumo picked up the glass and took a big sip of cold water. He stood up again and began to exercise with his sword. He was serious about his task...

As the former Emperor of the Liver and the end of the Liver Path, he had created countless legends and records, which also led to his obsessive obsession with tasks, which directly led to his sudden death in his previous life.

Once...twice...three times.

Until his breathing became disordered again and he collapsed to the ground.

After a break, he got up again. The training boy's eyes were tough, with a hint of crazy paranoia.

The next day, Yakumo dragged his sore body and started a painful and happy morning jog. It was not until the warm energy from the task submission washed away most of the soreness that he returned to normal.

On Wednesday night, Yakumo practiced the basic eight postures as usual. Two days and eight hours of training had made him become very proficient and natural.

The breeze blew the surrounding weeds and blew the sweat off Yakumo's body. In the training ground where no one cared, the boy continued to accumulate and become stronger.

Thursday, June 10th, night.

Training Course.

This time Yakumo did not start training directly but clicked on the skill panel that he had not looked at for a long time.

〖personal skills〗

Active: Water Bomb Introduction 50/100 "Acceleration"

Introduction to Basic Sword Skills 60/100 "Acceleration"

Gold coins: 400 pieces

Move your mind slightly, tap the word "acceleration" behind the basic sword skills, and 400 gold coins will disappear instantly four times in a row.

"Create happiness with heart, I wish you a happy game."

A large number of memories of practicing sword skills rushed into his mind. Under the impact of the massive memories, Yakumo was stunned on the spot. When he came back to his senses and touched the knife on his leg again, he felt an extremely familiar feeling.

The skill interface represents items for basic swordsmanship. The proficiency level increases rapidly until it reaches 100. The word "beginner" begins to become illusory and is gradually replaced by a new realm.

Active: Basic sword skills at proficiency 0/200 "Acceleration"

At this moment, he seemed to have broken through some kind of imprisonment and entered a higher level. Yakumo opened his eyes and clenched his fists slightly, as if this breakthrough made his body more powerful and his vitality more vigorous.

With this question in mind, Yakumo clicked on his personal panel.

〖Personal Panel〗

Name: Jing Yakumo

Age:7

Constitution: 4.8 (endurance, resistance, recovery)

Strength: 3.5 (weight bearing, attack, etc.)

Agility: 4.0 (nervous reflexes, running.)

Intelligence: 4.3 (learning ability, mental resistance)

Chakra: 6.2 (promoted to genin at 10 points)

This... Yakumo was a little stunned. The breakthrough in basic sword skills increased his physique and strength by 0.4 each, which was equivalent to two and a half days of daily tasks. It was an unexpected surprise.

This improvement should be an obvious bonus brought about by the proficiency breakthrough. After all, he did not receive attribute point rewards when he used gold coins to accelerate basic sword skills yesterday.

After drinking a few mouthfuls of cold water, Yakumo stood up again and this time he wielded the knife without any unfamiliarity. The shadow of the knife flashed even with a sense of beauty, and a chill that made people feel chilly on the back.

Under the influence of the breeze, a piece of withered yellow leaf flew from a distance. Yakumo's eyes were focused, and he slashed down with a knife in both hands.

The sword flashed across, and the withered yellow leaves were torn apart in the air. Yakumo took a long breath and shook his head. He was not satisfied with the result.

On Wednesday afternoon, he saw with his own eyes that Hatake Kakashi cut off the flying leaves with a knife. The end was straight and smooth, but the rest of the leaves were intact.

That is the perfect slash, which can control the extreme violence within a thin line with ease. Only that kind of slash can cut off the armor, severely injure, and kill the ninja inside.

He still has a long way to go...

Now his headache is how to obtain the sword technique from Kakashi and practice it to the basic level in the remaining three days. Is the only way he can find an opportunity to take the initiative to talk to Kakashi?

It’s impossible to give up… It’s impossible to give up…
