Konoha's task master

Hatake Residence, Training Ground.

Yakumo holds two wooden swords in his hands and is slowly practicing the Hatake sword technique. After the fifth treatment, Yakumo's arms are almost healed.

Reviewing the past and learning the new, he will gain a little bit of new understanding every time he practices, and the accumulation of them all will make his foundation of swordsmanship more solid.

The middle-aged man in coarse linen clothes pushed open the door and walked into Hatake's mansion. The old housekeeper did not block him, but instead moved out of the way very respectfully.

Finally, the middle-aged man walked straight into the training ground. His face was ordinary and he looked very simple.

"Uncle Sakumo?" Yakumo asked.

There are only a few people in Konoha Village who can swagger into Hatake's mansion. Yakumo can easily guess his identity after thinking about what happened today.

"Bang." Hatake Sakumo released the transformation technique.

"Let's compare notes?" Hatake Sakumo asked.

"I'm still injured."

"It only involves a contest of skills."

"Come on then."

The two maintained their physical fitness and chakra levels at normal human levels, and only used their skills to determine the outcome.

Hatake Sakumo picked up a wooden sword from the side. At the level of the two of them, even an ordinary wooden stick in his hand can fully demonstrate his complete skills.

"Come on." Hatake Sakumo chuckled. As an elder, he chose to let Yakumo make the first move.

Stay calm and adjust your breathing.

Yakumo's body leaned forward slightly, his feet firmly grasping the ground, and a small amount of chakra flowed in his body.

The wind in nature began to circulate around Yakumo's double swords, and wisps of breeze slowly merged into the blades.

Whoosh!

He exerted force under his feet, and in an instant he was in front of Hatake Sakumo and slashed with the long sword in his right hand very smoothly and naturally!

"Ding--"

When the wooden knives collided, there was a soft sound of metal colliding. It was the wind on the two blades that were canceling each other out and annihilating each other.

Hatake Sakumo's sword was faster, and his second sword came almost instantly, causing an extreme sense of oppression to emerge from his body.

"Rebellious!" "Rebellious!"

Yakumo's expression remained unchanged and he continued to parry and block Hatake Sakumo's attacks. The two of them kept their physical fitness at the same level as much as possible and fought with skill.

"Rebellion·Knife vibration!"

At that moment, Hatake Sakumo's sword was blown away by a powerful force. At this moment, Yakumo waved his two swords and was making the sign of the cross.

Hatake Sakumo took three steps back to avoid Yakumo's sharp slash. This was the first time the two took a step back since their sparring began.

"Flash!"

Hatake Sakumo stabbed the short blade, and a pure white straight line appeared in the air, approaching Yakumo at an extremely fast speed, aiming directly at Yakumo's chest.

"Wall dance!"

"Ding!" "Ding!"

The two swords drew an almost perfect arc, and the wind in the air naturally formed an invisible barrier, hindering Hatake Sakumo's attack. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yakumo used the swinging sword technique to deflect the stabbing short blade.

In terms of pure skills, he is confident that he can suppress Hatake Sakumo. After all, he has reached a master level in terms of skills.

Hatake Sakumo ran into Madoka's range with his sword in hand, and the murderous aura radiated freely around him. The wind's violent current became more and more unstable, and the two of them were constantly wrestling.

Raise the single blade upward and hold the knife with both hands.

Hatake Sakumo abandoned his skills and chose to use his strength to tear apart the realm of Madoka. The short blade, which was obviously good at assassination, struck out with an extremely ferocious blow in his hand, showing the momentum of breaking through mountains. With awe-inspiring pressure, he

The round dance field tears open small gaps.

"Draw your sword and kill!"

At that moment, Hatake Sakumo held the short blade in his left hand, and the shape of the sword showed the tendency to draw the sword, and the bright white sword light spread!

Yakumo crossed his swords to block Hatake Sakumo's attack. At this moment, both of them had a certain understanding of the opponent's sword technique.

Hatake Sakumo's sword skills are by no means fancy. They are extremely polished killing skills. What he pursues is condensing power into a thin line. Such swords are more suitable for small-scale battles.

"Ding--"

Weapon collision.

The wooden sword made an overwhelmed sound, and Hatake Sakumo drew the sword and retreated to look for an opportunity to attack again.

"Ding, ding, ding."

Yakumo kept parrying Hatake Sakumo's attacks, and occasionally seized the opportunity to counterattack. Because they were sparring, both of them had their own hands, and for a while it was hard to tell the difference.

Yakumo's skills are higher, but Hatake Sakumo's combat richness is too rich. He can always make the most correct judgment during battles and get the greatest effect with the smallest expenditure of physical strength.

"Be careful." Hatake Sakumo said lightly.

Then his attack frequency went up to a higher level.

"Rebellion·Knife vibration!"

Yakumo's two swords crossed to create an invisible barrier, and the wind swirled around the two of them, occasionally injecting the wooden sword to strengthen the attack.

A little pressure quietly rose in his heart. Hatake Sakumo's reminder just now meant that he had to use a real killing move. If Yakumo couldn't hold it back... he would probably get hurt.

"Yueyin."

Why is the moon hidden in broad daylight?

Bright and dazzling white light erupted from the short blade in Hatake Sakumo's hand, like the sun descending on the world. Yakumo subconsciously closed his eyes tightly, and at this time, the whistling of the blade cutting through the air could be heard in the air!

——Flash bomb!!

"You don't have martial ethics!"

Yakumo quickly regained his composure. The natural wind wrapped around his body under his control, and his legs suddenly retreated backwards.

"Wall dance!"

The domain reappeared. Compared to the counterattack that required precise blocking, the round dance was more suitable for the environment at this time. As the sword domain emerged, Hatake Sakumo's figure accurately reflected in Yakumo's mind.

"Rebellion!"

Ding--

The double blades just blocked Hatake Sakumo's attack.

This was his first attempt to use the reverse technique to block while using the round dance... Unexpectedly, he successfully used it in one go.

"Since you don't follow martial ethics, don't blame me."

Yakumo opened his eyes and chuckled. Silver arcs began to appear in the circle dance area, and the power of wind and thunder descended.

The mixture of the two forces successfully suppressed Hatake Sakumo, and the two were immersed in the sparring. Under the influence of mutual confirmation, their understanding of sword skills was rapidly increasing.

The lightning roared and the sword energy overflowed.

Time keeps passing...sweat wets my clothes.

Until...a few clicks.

The three wooden knives were overwhelmed and turned into sawdust.

"Haha, let's fight next time." Hatake Sakumo said with a hearty smile, his face full of joy. He had not been so happy for a long time.

Hatake Sakumo has been alone on the road of swordsmanship for too long, and finally someone can stand beside him and confirm what he has learned... For the swordsman, this is a blessing.

"Why do I feel...Uncle Sakumo was a little unhappy when he first came back?"

Yakumo picked it up and pressed his hand on the surface of his body. The sweat on the body surface gathered and formed a water ball lingering in Yakumo's hand.

When he goes far enough in the change of chakra properties, he can easily use chakra to control the corresponding elements. The Four Star Continent and Mist Burial have greatly improved his attainments in the change of water chakra properties.

"Hokage-sama has restored...Danzo-sama's status as an elder, and...is appointed as deputy minister of ANBU." Hatake Sakumo said with a depressed expression.

"Checks and balances...the art of containment."
