"This kind of competition is really nerve-wracking! If it weren't for Yoshinobu performing some shows every once in a while to ease the situation, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to hold on~" Emperor Masakincho looked at Oda Nobunaga with a flushed face and smiled.
"Haha, it's precisely because you know that His Majesty the Emperor is here to watch that these contestants are working so hard. After all, I can perform in front of His Majesty the Emperor, but I can't ask for something. Oda Nobunaga laughed.
Hearing this, although he knew that Oda Nobunaga was flattering him, Emperor Shokincho was still very happy, after all, this feeling had never been experienced before. Although it is more frequent nowadays, it is clear that he does not have too many such sycophants.
After the performance, the battle in Zone C officially began, and the first two to appear were Nobutsuna Kamiizumi and Hidemoto Kamiizum, father and son.
"Xiuyuan! Let me see how you have grown over the years! Kamiizumi Nobutsuna looked at Kamiizumi Hidemoto and smiled.
"I won't disappoint my father!" Hidemoto Kamizumi replied in a deep voice.
"Haha~ Then I'll wait and see!" Nobutsuna Kamiizumi laughed when he heard this.
For this son of his own, the only thing Nobutsuna Kamiizumi has is pride. Not only did he inherit his talent for swordsmanship, but now he has become an excellent samurai under Oda Yoshinobu. At this point, Kamiizumi Nobutsuna felt that he was much better than himself, because Kamiizumi Nobutsuna never felt that he was a good samurai.
This is not because he is modest, but because it is the fact that he was the governor of the Dahu family at first, and then fled to Kamiquan Castle after being broken by Hojo. After his father died of illness, he changed his surname to Kamiizumi and founded the Kamiizumi family. The reason for this is because he is the second son in the family, and his brother inherited the Dahu family.
It's just that this so-called Kamiizumi family doesn't have much opportunity to grow. Although they sided with the Uesugi family when they attacked the Hojo family, because Uesugi Kenshin withdrew his troops in Odawara, there was no chance to establish a martial artist in the end. Later, the Takeda family invaded Ueno, and although they established a huge martial arts under the command of Nagano Yoshimasa, they eventually lost all their territory due to the demise of the Nagano family.
Although his martial prowess was appreciated by Takeda Shingen, by that time, he had been completely disappointed in the path of the samurai. Therefore, he resolutely left the Takeda family and embarked on the path of pursuing a higher realm of kendo. Finally, after meeting Yoshinobu Oda, his life changed completely.
Strictly speaking, when Hidemoto Ueizumi first became a retainer under Oda Yoshinobu, Nobutsuna Ueizumi was still very worried. Because he was afraid that his son could only do swordsmanship, after all, he had only taught him swordsmanship at the beginning.
Although for the vast majority of forces, the status of a retainer with superb swordsmanship is very high, but obviously, this does not include Oda Yoshinobu. Because even if you remove Keiji Maeda and Yukihisa Shiraki, Hidemoto's swordsmanship is not the strongest.
But fortunately, Oda Yoshinobu has a special force composed of all swordsmen, and Ueizumi Hidemoto has changed from the team leader at the beginning to Shiraki Yukihisa's deputy, and his future career is bright. Nobutsuna Kamiizumi believes that in the future, his son will be able to carry forward the Kamiizumi family and realize his unrealized ideals.
On the field, Hidetsuna Kamiizumi kept attacking Nobutsuna Kamiizumi, but he was blocked by Nobutsuna Kamiizumi casually. However, Hidetsuna Kamiizumi doesn't seem to be surprised by this, but he keeps putting what he has learned into practice. Maybe he didn't think about winning when he knew that his opponent was his father, right? The only thing he wanted was to let his father know where he had come in swordsmanship.
Perhaps every child looks up to their father from an early age, until they grow up to try to surpass their father. But obviously, at least for now, Hidemoto Kamiizumi hasn't thought about it that way. After all, he knew better than anyone how terrifying Nobutsuna's improvement in swordsmanship was after losing to Oda Yoshinobu.
"Xiuyuan's strength is not weak, but his mentality is still almost ......," Tsukahara Bu Chuan said lightly, "But it may also be facing his father~ After all, the strength of Shinzuna, now I can't see it clearly......"
Hearing Tsukahara's exclamation, Kitada Gukyo replied calmly, "Hidemoto didn't think about defeating his father in the first place, but it's true that Lord Ueizumi's strength is stronger now than before and when he was in the next competition......"
"Oh? So who do you think will win between you and him? Tsukahara asked with a smile. At this time, he didn't seem to be the former Sword Master, but a curious old man.
However, when Tsukahara Buden's words came out, the other people in the room also turned their heads, apparently just as curious about Kitada's answer.
Kitada Gukyo is very famous, because he is the only one of Tsukahara's many disciples who has received the inheritance of the Ichinotai sword. Although he lost to Kamiizumi Nobutsuna in the past, how strong is the Kitada Gu Church that has now left behind the family's troubles and is concentrating on kendo?
Hearing this, Kitada Gujiao only replied lightly, "Teacher, your question is not a problem, because for swordsmen, confidence is the most important thing. If the disciple doesn't even have the confidence to defeat Lord Shangizumi, then there is no need to compare~"
As he spoke, Kitada Gujiao suddenly smiled strangely, "Teacher, if you ask me this, does it mean that you don't have the confidence to defeat Lord Shangizumi?" ”
Hearing Kitada's words, Tsukahara Buchuan laughed and said, "Haha~ No way, people are old and their confidence is insufficient!" ”
Hearing this, everyone fell silent. Tsukahara Bu said that he had no faith, which was obviously impossible, but he was old...... But it's a fact! He is 77 years old, how much ability does he have left?
Just when everyone was thinking wildly, the victory or defeat of Kamiizumi Nobutsuna and Kamiizumi Hidemoto had been divided. Well, in fact, even viewers who don't understand swordsmanship can easily see the advantages and disadvantages between the two. Because like Oda Yoshinobu, Kamiizumi Nobutsuna is ...... from beginning to end. Haven't touched the place!
"Tsk, Nobutsuna, now your strength is getting stronger and stronger~ I'm looking forward to the showdown with you~" Oda Yoshinobu chuckled at Kamiizumi Nobutsuna when the two walked over.
Hearing this, Kamiizumi Nobutsuna smiled faintly and said, "His Royal Highness Shura has won the award, whether I can meet you in the next place depends on whether Lord Tsukahara and Lord Kitada agree or not~"
"Haha~ too~" Oda Yoshinobu laughed when he heard this.
Belch...... It seems that there are still a lot of masters in District C and District D, right? Is it really good to ignore them so much? However, it is a pity that in the eyes of Kamiizumi Nobutsuna, there are only two people, Tsukahara Buden and Kitada Gukyo. Reason? Confidence as a swordsman.
But in fact, Tsukahara Buden's opponent Aisu Koshichiro is not weak at all, he is one of the teachers of Kamiizumi Nobutsuna, the son of Aisu Katsukasai, and the true inheritor of Yin Current. And the new Yin Stream of Kamiizumi Nobutsuna is a genre that extends from the Yin Current.
"His Highness Tsukahara! Please advise! Aisu Koshichiro said in a deep voice.
"Hehe~please~" Tsukahara Buden chuckled.
As soon as Tsukahara Buden's words fell, Aisu Koshichiro quickly rushed towards Tsukahara Buden, but he did not rush into the attack range of the two, but kept moving quickly at the edge of the attack range.
"Is this the art of ape flying?" Oda Yoshishi thought confidently. Before the start of the tournament, Tsukahara Buden specially mentioned the matter of Aisu Koshichiro with Oda Yoshinobu, and focused on the art of ape flying. "It just doesn't seem to be very good......" Oda Yoshinobu thought strangely, completely unsure why Tsukahara Buden cared so much about the art of ape flying.
However, when Aisu Koshichiro finally started attacking, he finally understood what it was called the Ape Flying Technique. Ape actually means monkey, and ape flight is not that monkeys can really fly, but to describe their flexible and fast movements. And Yin Liu's ape flying technique is actually to learn the monkey's attack method and integrate it into swordsmanship.
It may sound a little weird, after all, what does the monkey's attack have to do with swordsmanship? However, in fact, most of the martial arts such as fists, feet, guns, and swords of human beings are learned from animals.
In the field, Aisu Koshichiro, who had performed the Ape Flying Technique, was constantly moving quickly around Tsukahara Buden, and constantly attacking Tsukahara Buden. But every blow is a blow that immediately retreats, and it does not give Tsukahara Bu Chuan a chance to get entangled. The purpose, obviously, was to consume Tsukahara Buden's physical strength and patience in search of a chance to win.
"I see...... "Oda Yoshinobu nodded, he understood the so-called ape flying technique thoroughly. Moreover, it is very appreciated. Although it seems that this kind of punishment seems to be a bit of a scoundrel, and it is completely different from the traditional swordsman's competition, but this way to deal with Tsukahara Buden is really the best choice.
After all, Tsukahara Bu Chuan is old, and it is not as easy as such a slow consumption than a frontal attack. Victory or not? In the world of swordsmen, there is only winning and losing!
It's just that just when Oda Yoshinobu thought that this battle would be a war of attrition, Tsukahara Buden waved his sword. This was the first time he took the initiative to attack, but with such a blow, Aisu Koshichiro was defeated......
