Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Basics of Swordsmanship, the Determination of Thorns

"Ahh Boss, are you going to go to school next year? So what should I do? The only little girl, Noriko Ando, who was a year younger than everyone else, said pitifully.

Echizen Kazuya thought about it and said with a smile: "Noriko can also go to school with us, although you will only be five years old next year, but with so many of us protecting you, you will definitely not be bullied at school." ”

"Really?" Noriko Ando was also very excited to go to school with so many friends, but she still hesitated and said softly: "I still have to go home and ask my parents, I don't know if they agree." ”

"Of course, it's still a long time, you can decide slowly," Echizen Kazuya said with a smile, "Even if you don't go to school with us next year, it doesn't matter, we will still protect you when you go to school when you are six years old." ”

"Haha, thank you, boss," Noriko Ando said happily.

"You're welcome, as your boss, it's my responsibility to protect you!" Echizen and said indifferently.

It's still very pleasant to get along with children, no deceit, no flies and dogs.

However, good times are always short-lived, and Kazuya Echizen will not indulge in such a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere, and he has always kept in mind the cruelty and danger of the Hokage world.

When it was almost nine o'clock, Yuri Hong sent Echizen Kazuya back to the Yamanaka flower shop as agreed, and after politely saying goodbye to Keiko Yamanaka, he went home directly.

When I got home, Kazuya Echizen continued to practice sealing, learn calligraphy, and then check the properties panel, confirm the day's gains, summarize what had happened during the day, and then wash and sleep.

But today, Kazuya Echizen can't sleep.

It is human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and although he has made up his mind to face the pain of practicing Rougu Gong head-on, when that pain is about to come, he is still uneasy in his heart.

The next morning, the sky was bright, and Echizen Kazuya was still struggling to get up.

Dragged heavy steps, rubbing on the ground......

Echizen Kazuya, who was walking on the way to the agreed place, had a generous determination to die on his face, and he looked at death as if he were at home.

Sure enough, the sadist Miyamoto Musashi was very motivated, and he was already waiting there early before the appointed time.

Seeing Echizen Kazuya's heavy but firm footsteps, Miyamoto Musashi smiled with relief and said solemnly, "Hehe, it's not bad, I really didn't see the wrong person." If you don't dare to come today, it will be a disappointment. ”

Echizen Kazuya looked at Miyamoto Musashi, did not speak, and silently began to do warm-up exercises, as if preparing for the upcoming Gujiu Gong exercises.

Looking at Kazuya Echizen with a serious face, Miyamoto Musashi smiled with satisfaction and said, "Good news for you, we won't be doing soft bone exercises today." ”

I had been preparing for the coming torture all night, but when it came to it, I said I wouldn't do it.

Echizen Kazuya looked at Miyamoto Musashi suspiciously, and asked curiously, "Why?" Difficulty: Bone Tenderness Exercises can't be practiced continuously? ”

"That's not true, but the plan has changed," Miyamoto Musashi said in a heavy tone, regardless of whether Echizen Kazuya could understand it or not, and said to himself: "The Cloud Ninja Village of the Land of Thunder is starting to move when the wood industry is at its weakest. And my injuries are almost healed, so tomorrow I will go to the front with the large army to resist the attack of Yunnin Village. ”

"So, today I will hand over the rest of the basic swordsmanship to you, and it's up to you how much you can learn."

Muye has just suffered the Nine-Tails disaster, ordinary ninjas have suffered heavy casualties, and the famous four generations of Hokage have died, this is indeed the best time to attack, it seems that the ninja world is about to start a new round of shock, Echizen Kazuya thought silently.

I don't know how long the war will last, and I don't know when I will see Miyamoto Musashi next time, so Echizen Kazuya, who knew that the opportunity was rare, hurriedly promised: "Thank you, teacher, I will definitely learn by heart." ”

"Very well, let's get started."

"The first thing to learn a sword is to learn to hold a sword, and if you can't even hold a sword steadily, let alone the swordsmanship behind." Miyamoto Musashi, who began to teach, returned to his usual indifferent posture, and his meticulous appearance made Echizen Kazuya dare not be distracted in the slightest.

"There are three basic ways to hold the sword, full handle, screw handle, live handle, and I will demonstrate them for you one by one, you have to see carefully." Miyamoto Musashi reminded.

"First of all, it's full, it's optimistic, that's it," I saw Miyamoto Musashi holding the sword in his right hand, the five fingers were shaped like a fist, and the front of the hilt was firmly clenched, and the sword and the forearm were slightly straight.

"Do you see clearly?" Miyamoto Musashi asked, and when he saw Echizen Kazuya, he nodded in confirmation, and then ordered, "Since you can see it clearly, let's try it yourself." ”

Following the example of Miyamoto Musashi, Echizen Kazuya held the sword tightly in his hand.

"This is not possible, your palm and the hilt of the sword are tightly together, as if a human arm has no joints, so that the sword will be fixed in the hand and cannot be changed flexibly," Miyamoto Musashi explained carefully: "The correct way to do this is to use the middle finger, ring finger and thumb to control the hilt, and the palm of the hand and the hilt are immediately separated, so that it can be used flexibly." ”

"Got it? Try again. ”

Under Miyamoto Musashi's hands-on guidance, Echizen Kazuya learned quickly, and the three grips were quickly mastered by him correctly.

"Very good, it's a basic mastery, but this is only the most basic requirement, when fighting, these grips need to be improvised, and they need to change all the time, so they need to be practiced continuously to be able to integrate them and be handy, you know?" Miyamoto Musashi patiently admonished.

Echizen Kazuya nodded solemnly and said, "I remember, teacher." ”

"Very good, next, I'll teach you basic swordsmanship, look at it, first of all, stab." As soon as the words fell, Miyamoto Musashi's hand was lifted from his waist, and Echizen Kazuya only felt a flower in front of him, and before he could react, the sharp tip of the sword appeared in the center of his eyebrows from far and near.

Echizen Kazuya, who reacted in a hurry, staggered back, and fell to the ground as soon as his feet were weak, only to realize that at that moment, he was in a cold sweat.

Miyamoto Musashi put his sword into the sheath with an expressionless face, and said to Echizen Kazuya, who was in a hurry, "How is it, did you see the sword just now?" ”

Echizen Kazuya tried hard to remember, but finally shook his head blankly.

"The sword just now is a thorn, a standing sword or a flat sword straight forward, reaching the tip of the sword. Because the sword is in a straight line with the arm, the stab is the farthest, fastest and most lethal of all swordsmanship. Miyamoto Musashi paused and said solemnly: "Because the body leans forward when stabbing, this is a decisive blow, a sword stab, there is no return." If you don't kill the enemy, you must be prepared to be countered by the enemy. So be extra cautious when stabbing a sword. ”
