Chapter 44: A New Wooden Sword
In the following month, Katsuragi started drawing comics with all his motivation, during which he also showed the comics to his Nozaki sensei, and Nozaki Taro was also full of praise after reading it, and felt that Katsuragi was almost ready to become a teacher.

Of course, Katsuragi modestly said that he would continue to study, after all, he just took advantage of his previous life, and this is not really a work created entirely by himself. If Katsuragi wants to draw something that truly belongs to him, he will definitely continue to study hard.
During this time, Katsuragi finally completed the first volume of "Hokage" in May, after every day of class time and hard work at home after school, and this speed seemed to Katsura to be like a hanging, but Katsuragi did open a plug-in, but obviously this can't be said to his father.
Katsuragi can only have such a speed on the first volume, because the scenes in the early stage of the Hokage are still small, most of them are also in Konoha, and there are not many battle scenes and tricks, and it is relatively simple to draw, so Katsuragi has such a speed.
But then as the plot unfolds, it's a little unlikely to have such a speed, after all, the characters and the tricks of the battle scenes that appear after that have obviously changed a lot, and Katsuragi wants to draw it well, and it must be carefully considered and a lot of time.
Signed the first volume of "Hokage" on Rokugi, Katsuragi handed everything over to his father Gui Yi to deal with, anyway, Gui Mu has only heard of the pit father, and has not heard of the pit son, of course, Katsura Yi can't pit his favorite son.
After drawing the first volume, Katsura can relax a little bit, and there is no need to rush the schedule so much, after all, even if Katsura is finished, Katsuraichi's company will also have to consider marketing strategies, and it is impossible to release it all at once.
So Katsuragi, who has been busy for a month, suddenly idle, inevitably a little uncomfortable, Katsuragi shook his head, and threw out the idea of whether to continue drawing, it's rare that it's a weekend, and I can't stay at home anymore to draw comics, so I happen to be free today, and by the way, I went to the dojo to tell the good news that his comics are about to be serialized, Katsuragi thought in his heart.
Speaking of which, Katsuragi hasn't been to the dojo for a long time to receive guidance from Shota Kiritani, and since Katsuragi got the evaluation of Shota in Kendo where he got the evaluation of entering the house in kendo, Shota said that Katsuragi doesn't have to come here every week to receive guidance, and what he can teach is almost enough, and the next thing is to see Katsuragi's own unremitting practice and understanding.
Although Shota said that he couldn't guide Katsuragi anymore, Katsuragi would still go to the dojo to discuss some swordsmanship knowledge with Shota or visit the old man when he had the opportunity, after all, he was a master who had taught for so many years, but as Shota got older, Katsuragi wanted to have fewer and fewer opportunities to learn from Shota.
After changing his clothes, Katsuragi picked up the wooden sword that Shota gave him and has been using until now, although it is very carefully maintained, but after a few years, it has also left traces of time, and Katsuragi feels that it is time to let it take a break and change to a new wooden sword, just ask Shota where to buy it.
Katsuragi didn't go to call Naoba, and came to Shota Kiritani's kendo hall alone, and when Katsuragi found Shota, he found him sitting under a tree in the courtyard drinking tea, looking leisurely.
Looking at the silver-haired peaceful-looking old man, Katsura walked up and said hello: "Grandpa!"
After a few years of getting along, Katsuragi knew that the old man was a very kind and lovely old man in life in addition to being more strict in kendo, Shota saw Katsuragi, smiled gently, pointed to the chair in front of him and said, "It's Xiaomu, I haven't been here for a long time, come, sit down and drink some tea." ”
Katsuragi walked to Shota and sat down, poured himself a cup of brewed tea, speaking of which, in addition to kendo, Kiritani Shota's favorite is tea art and chess, after so many years of getting along, Katsuragi has also been somewhat affected, and likes to drink tea and play chess.
Picked up the cup and took a sip, feeling the mouth was slightly bitter at first, and then the tip of the tongue was slightly sweeter, and a tea fragrance slowly spread from the nose to the throat, and then spread to the limbs, an indescribable ease filled the whole body, and couldn't help but praise: "Good tea, grandpa's tea making skills have increased again!"
Hearing Katsuragi's praise, Shota looked happy and said with a smile: "Just your sweet mouth, you will praise me as an old man." ”
"What's the matter, it's obviously delicious!" Gui Mu looked at the happy old man, and also pretended to be aggrieved, and then thought that he hadn't told the old man about his comics, so he said, "That's right, grandpa." I've drawn a comic, and when it's time to publish it, I'll send you a copy. ”
"Kogi is very powerful!" Hearing Katsuragi, who was showing off to himself, Shota also praised with a surprised expression, "Then you have to take a good look at Katsuragi's work." ”
"I promise you won't be disappointed. Katsura looked confident, and then thought of the wooden sword he had been using for several years, and asked Shota: "Grandpa, the wooden sword you gave me at the beginning feels like it has been used for a long time, and I want to buy a new sword and replace it for a good collection, do you have any recommendations?"
"Alas, it turns out that so many years have passed. Shota first sighed for a while, then got up and said to Katsuragi: "Come, I'll give you another handful, this is my treasure, if it weren't for your sake, I wouldn't give it to ordinary people!"
Hearing that Shota was going to give him a treasured good sword, Katsuragi was a little excited, after all, as a swordsman, how could there be someone who didn't like a good sword, not to mention that something that could be collected by Shota, a master, must be very valuable.
Shota took Katsuragi to his collection room, first looked at the rows of iron swords placed around, and said with some sighs: "There are few opportunities to use these swords in today's society, plus the control of knives, they can only be regarded as collections, and you are a child, I can't give you these sharp things." ”
Then he took out a rectangular wooden box with a very tight package, opened it and took out a wooden sword that seemed to be made of wood, handed it to Guimu and said: "This is a wooden sword made of iron sandalwood, it is said that the bullets can't penetrate it, but it is a little heavy, it was given to me by an old friend of mine, I hope you can treat it well after giving it to you." ”
Katsuragi took the wooden sword handed over by Shota, felt a sinking in his hand, it was indeed not light, and tried to swing it twice, feeling more comfortable than his last one, and the material was even more bullet-incapable, Katsuragi looked at the wooden sword in his hand and liked it more and more, and said happily to Shota: "Thank you, grandpa, rest assured, I will definitely treat it well." ”
"Hmm. "Over the past few years, Xiangtai also has some understanding of Katsuraki's character, and this kid rarely says anything that he can't do, looking at the overjoyed Katsunaku, he smiled and said: "Okay, go, accompany the old man to play a game of chess, last time I called Xiaozhi to accompany me to play, the level is too poor, it's not interesting at all." ”
"Then grandpa should be careful of losing. Katsuragi, who had just received a new sword, also joked happily to Shota.
"It's up to you, it's far from it. Hearing Katsuragi's jokes, Shota Kiritani looked at Katsuragi with an expression that you still want to win me and said, Don't look at Shota usually Although Shota is gentle, he is also a person who does not admit defeat in tea and chess.
Looking at a pair of Shota who took his words seriously, Katsuragi smiled and didn't speak, Katsuragi with the bonus of writing wheels is not inferior to anyone in learning, so Katsuragi, who is serious, plays chess, and it is indeed no problem to win Shota, but Katsuragi generally doesn't do that.
The two of them, one old and one young, played chess back and forth in the courtyard, and at noon they talked to their families on the phone from Shota, and they accompanied Shota to lunch in the dojo, and then asked Shota to guide him in swordsmanship in the afternoon, and Katsuragi returned home.
