"Holding a sword in both hands is the most basic respect for the opponent."

In a forest near the Uchiha clan, by the stream,

Artoria calmly looked at the weasel opposite, and slowly spoke: "Straighten your waist and make your spine like a sword, the blade of this sword is facing the enemy on one side and towards yourself on the other. ”

"Any swing of the sword will have an impact on the enemy and yourself, and whether this effect is good or bad depends on the firmness of your heart."

"The sword should not be too sharp, it is too sharp and easy to break."

"But it shouldn't be too blunt, especially if the blade is sharp enough."

"The most basic swordsmanship, the main point is to swing the sword steadily, stab the sword quickly, and draw the sword to be cool......"

……

Holding an iron sword of almost the same height as himself, Itachi made a simple slashing motion.

Then, one after another, he showed the basic swordsmanship that Artoria knew in his mind.

Thorn, point, stir, split, teasing, chopping, picking......

The almost identical movements were displayed in his eyes, and Artoria's heart was no longer amazed.

Half a month has passed since the beginning of the guidance.

And Itachi's talent is far beyond her imagination.

Although Artoria was able to transmit what she thought and knew directly into Itachi's mind through a shortcut to telepathy, after a few days of teaching, she found that the truth was far more than she expected.

When she was at the barbecue restaurant, Itachi's sentence "As long as I take it seriously enough, it will be easy to learn and understand", and she really felt it during this time.

Once, everything only needs to be watched once, and he can learn it completely.

Whether it is theoretical knowledge, or the use and mastery of strength, Uchiha Itachi can be done seemingly easily.

However, Artoria, who has been familiar with Itachi's memories, also knows that Uchiha's unique Sharingan has the ability to perceive and copy, and can see and reproduce most of the enemy's movements.

Can...... Uchiha Itachi has not yet awakened the Sharingan, and has not yet reached the level of Nigotama.

That is to say, he used his talent to reach the power that others need to obtain with the help of bloodline.

This is a talent that even Artoria had never possessed before, at least in the process of learning, she often needs to become familiar with it a few times.

And Uchiha Itachi is a complete one-to-one replica, and sometimes even better!

"Is this basic swordsmanship? I got a rough idea. ”

Uchiha Itachi slowly stopped his movements and looked at Artoria who was standing dignified in the distance, "So next...... It's time to try advanced swordsmanship, right? ”

"I feel like I've been able to keep up with the average ninja lately."

"Fighting each other without relying on physical skills, my physical endurance is definitely stronger than that of ordinary adults."

Although the tempering time is very short, only half a month.

However, under the combined effect of tempering methods, economy, and time, Itachi still clearly feels the changes in himself.

If you say that half a month ago, you were punched in the face by an ordinary adult, and you would be directly knocked to the ground.

Even if he is punched now, he should be able to stiffen his body and stand firm with his fist.

Of course, this is without the use of any chakra, just relying on the strength of the flesh itself.

"Not ...... enough"

But unfortunately, Artoria shook her head, "The tempering of the physical body is a process of accumulation, and although talent can also play a role in this process, time and effort are more important. ”

To be honest, according to the original plan, she wanted to swear that she would reach the standard of practicing advanced swordsmanship within three months.

But now, she doesn't dare to measure it by time.

Itachi's progress was too fast, completely beyond the normal accumulation process of flesh tempering.

When exactly when you can reach the standard of practicing high-level swordsmanship, it can only depend on the result.

That is, it can resist all kinds of magical elements with its flesh.

However, in this world, this standard should be changed to resist ninjutsu with physical strength.

And after Artoria explained this criterion, Itachi thought about it carefully and nodded earnestly.

It turns out that the standard for her positioning is the level of being an alternate member of the Knights of the Round Table?

If that's the case, you're really a little way from the standard.

After Artoria came up with the concept of high-level swordsmanship, Itachi naturally didn't really wait for her teaching.

After all, she has her own memories.

And in the process of flipping through it, Itachi did not find the so-called high-level swordsmanship.

But she elaborated on this standard today, and he probably knew what those swordsmanship were.

So what should today's teaching be? Is it to continue the physical training?

"Let's try the most basic swordsmanship today, and that's it."

When Itachi asked, Artoria shook her head and reminded him, "Your father told you some time ago that you were going to the memorial monument today to offer incense and pay tribute to the heroic spirits, have you forgotten?" ”

Memorial Monument......

Itachi suddenly remembered this.

Life is so fulfilling these days that I forget about the memorial monument.

"So...... The Western Front seems to have come to an end. ”

Itachi recalls what his father had talked about at home a few days ago.

After the Uchiha's team returned to the village, Iwakure's Higashi Dead led an elite team of 1,000 to attack the Land of Fire from the Kannabi Bridge.

After that, the village's so-called golden glitter Bo Feng Shui Gate rushed to support and confronted the East Dead with the bridge deck as the center of the battlefield.

Then, he and his subordinates ended the war on the western front of the Fire Nation on the condition that they destroy the Kannabi Bridge.

"So we've got to get home."

Thinking of this, Itachi hurriedly put the iron sword in his hand into the rough scabbard and ran in the direction of home.

It sounds like something to be valued and respected.

If he was late, his father would undoubtedly blame him.

On the way back, Itachi could already see many people in black mourning clothes walking in the direction of the memorial monument.

This couldn't help but make him quicken his pace.

When he got home, Itachi saw his father waiting at the door in a black mourning suit with a straight face.

And his mother was also by his side, but she was not wearing mourning clothes, but wearing everyday home clothes.

Seeing Itachi coming back with an iron sword that seemed to be weighing a lot, Mai Trin hurriedly urged: "Hurry back to the room and change your clothes, the clansmen are already waiting." ”

Taking the clothes from her mother's hand, Itachi looked at her with some confusion, "Mother, aren't you going with us?" ”

"Your mother isn't feeling well, let's just go this time."

Fugaku spoke next to him and explained the reason.

Mother's health is not well?

A hint of worry rose in Itachi's heart.
