A week passed quickly, and these days, except for the day when I encountered white, all other times could be said to be lackluster.

Kakashi was going to stay at Daz's house to recuperate, and Sasuke, after completing his training in treading water, began to take turns with Sakura to protect Daz and build the bridge to prevent Cardo's men from provoking him.

As for Naruto, he hadn't been to the bridge under construction once so far, and he had been practicing the change of nature all day long, and he didn't bother to care if the bridge was the same in his eyes.

I don't know why, but no one, including Kakashi, has ever mentioned it to him or had an opinion, so he just has a good time.

Of course, it could also be that he didn't know that he had been marginalized, just like after the battle with Shiro, no one asked about the bandage around his left hand.

Speaking of the battle with Bai, he did benefit a lot, and it was worth paying a little price for just increasing his knowledge.

Shiro's fighting style is very different from the plot in his memory, and the physical technique is not mentioned for the time being, the important thing is ninjutsu and the blood inheritance limit.

It turned out that it was not only the Ice Escape in his memory, but the Shui Escape and the Fog Hidden Ninjutsu Bai were equally proficient, and this blind spot caught him a little off guard from the battle that day.

And the most surprising thing to him was that Bing Dun's blood inheritance limit was not limited to [Magic Mirror Ice Crystal], at the end of the battle, when his spiral pill pressed on Bai's body, he could feel the extremely fast flow of those ice crystal powder around him, especially on Bai's body, although he stopped as soon as possible, Bai also used the ice to escape instantly, but his left hand was still covered by cold frost and frostbitten.

Such a technique, or ninjutsu, actually reminded him of a lazy admiral in another world, and this move was too similar to that general's stunt [Ice Age].

Fortunately, the two are just like each other, and the difference in power is not the same, if the opponent is replaced by a pheasant, then he can't say that his left hand can't be saved, and whether he can escape his life is two words.

From this incident, Naruto learned a truth, that is, the plot in his memory can be used as a reference at most in the future, and cannot be used as a true knowledge practice to judge the actual situation.

Ninjas are a bunch of sinister guys, and it's not uncommon to still have hole cards until death, and you can't arbitrarily judge that someone in the plot only has used certain ninjutsu or stunts, so you may suffer a big loss in the future.

It's like Bai, now that I think about it, it's understandable that Bai didn't use this trick in the plot, first of all, from the perspective of his character, he is not the type that explodes in a desperate situation, especially when Naruto explodes in the plot and releases the Nine-Tails Chakra, at that time, Shiro saw the bond between Naruto and Sasuke, and his mentality has been greatly affected, and he naturally can't exert his original strength.

And this time was different, Bai understood at that time that if the spiral pill was confirmed, the consequences would be unimaginable, and Bai, who was suppressed by him on the verge of life and death, had to show all his strength.

In the final analysis, Shiro is not suitable for being a ninja in Naruto's opinion, this person's personality is too Asassi, too gentle, you can feel it from fighting him, and he does not have a killing intent to force him to be serious, and he is always a three-point offensive and seven-point defensive type.

"Maybe this is the source of your tragedy, I hope you can understand the advice, otherwise you won't have such good luck next time." As time passed on, Naruto felt that the final battle was approaching, and Naruto couldn't help but think of it in his heart.

Maybe it's not a good thing to open the plot, if you don't know the identity background of Zai Bu and Bai, and don't know what kind of people they are, maybe with his character he doesn't care about the life or death of the two at all.

But Naruto is very clear about all of this, so it is inevitable that there will be some small entanglements in his heart, and it seems that he was born in a peaceful era, and it is inevitable that there will be some indecision and womanly kindness in his heart.

Obviously, the ghost brother who was killed by him without hesitation could not have the same tragic background, and he didn't see any regrets afterwards, and even at this time, he didn't remember that such a person existed.

It can be seen that he is an ordinary person with a strong subjective consciousness of doing things after all, and his thinking and cognition are very shallow.

……

Early in the morning, watching Kakashi's unprecedented decision to take Sakura-chan Sasuke and escort him to the bridge, Naruto understood everything almost immediately, if nothing else, today was the day of the final battle.

Unlike in the plot, he didn't lie in bed because he was too tired from practicing like Naruto Hara, nor did he go out early to practice as usual, but just sat here, but neither Kakashi nor the other two had any intention of calling him along.

Whether it was because the three of them didn't know whether they didn't attack him today, or if they deliberately isolated him, Naruto said that he was very comfortable in comparison, and he really didn't bother to repeat what had happened, so it was just right.

The construction of the bridge has recently come to an end, if he doesn't listen to his advice and doesn't show up, and when the bridge is built, he pats his ass and leaves, if he doesn't listen, then Naruto's side can only express regret, or leave after the bridge is completed, so he has no interest in getting involved in today's affairs at all.

In this way, Naruto still sat in place and slowly ate the breakfast prepared by Tsunami, while the three Kakashi escorted Daz to the bridge.

"Why don't you go? Are you still scared? Inari saw that Naruto was left alone, so he walked over and said.

It seems that the little guy is going to promote his own set of "heroic uselessness theory" again.

"Inari, don't disturb Naruto-kun to eat, Mr. Kakashi has passed over today, and it's enough to protect everyone, so you don't need everyone to go." Jinami, who was washing the dishes, saw this and hurriedly came over to persuade her.

Although he also has a slight complaint about Naruto's indifference these days, after all, he is a mature adult, and Tsunami naturally knows when to say something.

"But...... The man had never been to the bridge once, and he must have been afraid of the Cardo people. Inari continued to exclaim with a slightly tangled face.

Obviously, this kid wants Naruto on the surface and they agree with the negative energy theory he preached, but in fact, deep down in his heart, he still longs for Ohashi to succeed and longs for a hero to change all this, so at this time, in the face of Naruto's attitude, he didn't know what to do for a while, so he could only subconsciously use mockery to try to stimulate Naruto.

"......" Naruto put the last mouthful of porridge into his mouth, a little amused in his heart, he naturally knew what this kid was struggling with at this time, but he was not interested in proving something to Inari.

The life experience of more than 30 years in two lifetimes told him that there are some things that he doesn't want to understand, and it is useless for others to say that he just needs to face his true thoughts in his heart, and he doesn't need to bother with his words.

But even so, it's a very annoying thing to let a little imp tuckle and taunt around him all the time, especially with this little ghost's mother letting it go, yes, except for the initial gesture of reprimanding Inari, Tsunami has been silently tidying up the house, as if she couldn't hear it at all.

“…… Hey, you're too blatant, and what qualifications do you have, it's just a C-rank mission. Naruto was speechless, it seemed that such a thing as Shengmien fighting Mi Qi was applicable no matter where it was.

Somewhat annoyed by Inari's chatter, Naruto was about to go out for a walk, but at this moment......

"Bang!"

At Tsunami's screams, the walls of the house suddenly burst open, and when the smoke cleared, two rogue samurai with swords at their waists rushed in.

"You're Daz's daughter, you're pretty cute, come with us." One of the Cardo's men with a hat came in and said as soon as he saw Tsunami.

Naruto noticed that this person's eyes had been wandering over Tsunami's chest since he came in, and he immediately realized that this person was an old pervert.

"Mom!" Hearing that this man was going to take his mother, Inari couldn't help but shout and hurriedly ran to Tsunami.

"Inari, you go!" Seeing her son coming, Tsunami immediately shouted anxiously, and her mother's instinct made her first reaction that her son couldn't have an accident.

"Huh? Are there still two imps, what to do? At this time, the samurai also noticed Inari and Naruto, who was sitting quietly on the side, and asked the other companion beside him.

"Hmph, one hostage is enough, count them unlucky." The other guy with an eyepatch who looked like a hooligan directly and brutally decided the fate of Naruto and Inari.

Maybe it's because they got up early in the morning and haven't put on their forehead guards yet, and the two of them haven't realized that Naruto is a ninja at this time, and they probably think of it as a relative of the Daz family, so they didn't pay attention to it at all.

"Do you still know about hostage-taking? It would have been nice to do it earlier, what's the use of coming now, it's really taking off your pants and farting. Standing up rather speechlessly, Naruto grumbled in his heart as he walked towards the two samurai.

How difficult would it be for a businessman who is powerful enough to blockade the coastline of the island nation and directly kidnap or kill the Daz family if he really doesn't want this bridge to be completed? As a result, when the bridge was about to be completed, he remembered to come and kidnap him, and it seems that Cardo is more or less involved......

"Hey, little ghost, are you going to be a hero, it seems that you don't know who Uncle Ben is......" Seeing Naruto calmly approaching, the hat-wearing samurai began to notice that something was wrong, and couldn't help but babble inwardly.

He then remembered that the Daz family had hired Konoha ninjas.

And Tsunami, who also saw Naruto's appearance, had a light in her eyes, and hurriedly hugged Inari who ran over and hid aside, glad that Naruto didn't go to the bridge with Kakashi and them, and the previous complaints were now forgotten.

“…… Boy, we're Cardo's guards, and you're looking for death! Seeing Naruto approaching without saying a word, the hat warrior, who finally couldn't help it at this moment, roared and drew his sword and slashed down.

"Are you putting this performance on New Year's swordsmanship?" Turning sideways easily, Naruto looked at the man with some amusement.

It seems that the samurai of this world are really not very good, not to mention this sword, even Sakura may be able to dodge it, how can such a swordsmanship kill.

However, despite the ridicule on his lips, Naruto's hand was not slow at all, and the moment he dodged sideways, his left hand held the samurai's sword-holding hand to stop his next move, and at the same time, a thin kunai flashed in his right hand, and under the flow of black light, it had already sunk into the samurai's throat.

"You, ......" Naruto's expression slowly pulled out the kunai without the slightest change in the hat samurai's incredulous gaze, and at this moment he could even feel the sound of the metal kunai rubbing against his throat.

"Shhhh

The bright red blood swayed in the air, like a torrent of high-pressure water guns, so frightened that Jinami over there immediately covered Inari's eyes, for fear that the child would see this bloody side.

"Bastard! How dare you ......" all this happened so fast that it wasn't until the hat warrior's body fell to the ground that his companion seemed to come back to his senses in shock and curse.

However, to Naruto's surprise, the man did not collapse and run away as he thought, but bent sideways slightly, his katana sheathed at his waist, and put on a posture of conjugation.

"Iai Knife Drawing? Interesting. Naruto raised his eyebrows at this, revealing a look of interest.

Naruto took a slight step back, picked up the knife from the dead hat samurai's hand and the scabbard at his waist, and kicked the body out of the house and into the courtyard with another kick, emptying the piece.

Immediately, in the frightened look of the opposite blindfolded samurai, he also put on a posture of Iai, making the current scene look like two or two samurai were dueling.

"Come on, let's see which of us is fast, and I think you know what happens to those who lose." Naruto said with a smile at the samurai.

However, under this smile, there was a direct killing intent of the red fruit fruit, as if announcing the death of the blindfolded samurai.

“…… You bastard! The blindfolded samurai was furious, thinking that Naruto was laughing at him at all, and before he knew it, he had forgotten about the death of his companion, and now all he wanted was to chop the imp in front of him into a pulp.

However, even so, the instinct of years of swordsmanship cultivation still made him not impulsively attack immediately, but strictly followed the essence of Ju Convergence - the principle of killing when the sword is slashed, slowly moving his feet, rubbing towards his opponent little by little, trying to bring Naruto into the attack distance of the sword drawing technique.

And here Naruto is the same, he also moves forward slowly, and for some reason, this duel like stepping on the edge of a cliff unexpectedly excites him.

It didn't take long, and finally, the two people who were facing each other with knives stepped into the range of each other's attacks almost at the same time.

"Cangchang!"

At this moment, two white lines of sparkling flickered and staggered, and the extreme sword light seemed to illuminate the entire room in that instant.

"Ah——!h

The sword flashed, and in the midst of a scream, an arm that was holding the hilt flew into the air, and then fell to the ground, the blindfolded man covered the severed arm, and looked at Naruto on the other side in disbelief, he had never seen such a thunderous swordsmanship, and he couldn't believe that it was from the hand of the ninja imp opposite.

He didn't even have a chance to collide with each other's blades, the speed of that little ghost's knife was one level ahead of him at all, obviously entering the attack distance at the same time, but his knife had not been fully drawn, and the blade on the opposite side had already skipped his right hand.

What speed is this? Why such a swordsmanship appeared on the ninja imp in front of him, the blindfolded man couldn't figure it out anyway, and he didn't have a chance to think about it anymore.

The moment his arm hit the ground, he was treated like his dead companion, the cold blade passing through his throat, taking away his confusion as well as his life.

"Huh!"

After disposing of this person, Naruto took advantage of the situation to shake off the blood on the knife and put the knife into the sheath.

"It's okay." With a faint comment, Naruto was a little unsatisfied, this person was a little stronger than the one wearing the hat, but it was also limited, it was just that the Iai duel made him live a little longer.

The mystery of Juhe is really before the knife is drawn, and that time is the biggest threat, and after the knife is released, everything is clear and it is not interesting, just like this person.

Naruto looked at the katana in his hand and fell into thought, a little puzzled why he had just solved this person by using the method of Iai drawing his sword to fight each other, it was obviously a battle that could be ended casually, and even these two people were opponents, it was a bit exaggerated for him to call it a "battle".

However, what puzzled him even more was when he would draw the sword, and the duel just now was not just an imitation of his own reaction, although he did mean it at first.

However, just as he picked up the sword, for some reason, a strange sense of familiarity came to him, as if he was born to be a swordsman, and involuntarily put on a posture to fight the opponent.

In fact, he thought at first that he would use the stand-in technique at the moment when the opponent made the knife with the advantage of reaction speed, and then easily end the battle, but he ended a duel with the opponent in a ghostly manner, which had to surprise him, and wondered if there was something wrong with him.

"What the hell is this? Obviously, the first time I came into contact with the weapon of the knife, how could it feel so familiar, like an extension of the arm. After settling the two of them, Naruto, who was too lazy to deal with the follow-up, simply left the Daz house, and the more he thought about it on the way, the more strange he felt, and he couldn't help but stop and carefully observe the sword in his hand that he got from the hat samurai.

It could be seen that the knife was not of the highest quality, and that the material of the blade was limited in terms of strength compared to his kunai, and that he ignored other things such as the rope around the handle or the decoration on the scabbard.

However, it is such an ordinary samurai sword, but it can make him, the beginner who has been in contact for the first time, like a swordsman who has practiced for many years, drawing and wielding the sword, and there is no trace of jerkiness between the operation of the blade, mellow and transparent, it is really like the finger of the arm, and he must obey it.

It's also too strange, Naruto knows very well that whether it is in his previous life or at this time, this should be his first contact with knives, although ninjas also have similar ninja straight knives, but because of economic reasons, he has never touched it, and he has always used kunai, as for the little Naruto before he crossed, it is even more impossible.

After thinking about it to no avail, he decided to experiment again.

Putting the knife into the sheath, he walked to a broken thick wooden stake, picked the broken part with his feet, lifted the broken wooden stake into the air, and when it was time to fall, he naturally took the posture of drawing the knife.

"Boom!"

The moment the stake fell, Naruto's eyes lit up, and the sharp blade on his waist came out of its sheath, instantly drawing a cross in front of him.

"Bang bang." The stakes, cut into four pieces in the air, fell neatly and vertically, leaving Naruto himself dumbfounded.

"Reed's name cross slash? This...... Could it be that I was a reed sword saint in my last life? ”
