In the southwest corner of Konoha Hidden Village, in an inconspicuous place, there is an inconspicuous house.

See the Flower House.

The ancestral home of the Mihana family was originally located outside the clan land of the Senju clan, and a few years ago, since the death of Chihiro's parents in battle, the only remaining grandchildren of the Mihana family moved here to settle down again.

Today's house covers an area of more than 400 square meters, the entrance is a small courtyard, the east and west sides are wings, the north and south are the main house, the wing room is two floors, the main house is three floors, the civil structure, the green tile covers the roof.

The house is backed by a tree more than 20 meters high.

Chihiro Mibana was told by her grandfather that this large tree shaped like a giant mushroom was the creation of the original Hokage-sama.

In fact, many of the vegetation in Konoha Village was spawned by that man with Mu Dun, and there are many similar Mu Dun plants, but this one is a little special.

The difference is that the other plants that were spawned by the first generation of Wood Escape were created to meet the needs of the greening of Konoha Village, while this one was created to meet the research needs of his younger brother, the second Hokage-sama.

Once one of the outstanding subordinates of the first Hokage, and later followed the second Hokage to fight for many years, the now elderly Shinobi 'Mika Akikawa' was also one of the participants in this study.

The core of this research is the original Mu Dun Blood Inheritance Limit.

The second generation tries to analyze its essence and study the possibility of its inheritance.

In fact, the Konoha high-level has never stopped studying Mu Dun, which is only one of the little known in the early research.

It's a pity that the early research project, which was presided over by the first and second generations, was terminated due to the death of the two of them.

As an important material for research, the tree itself naturally has some incalculable value, but with the death of the former participants, only the grandchildren under the tree are now known to know its value.

……

The genius is bright, and he sees that Hana Chihiro has woken up.

Because some elderly shinobi was already standing silently on the edge of the bed, squinting at Chihiro.

Chihiro, who had just woken up, also squinted and looked at the old man quietly.

The old man's eyes narrowed and narrowed.

Chihiro's eyes widened.

"Alas~"

Looking at each other for a while, the old man sighed leisurely, and then slowly raised his hand...

"Smack!"

"Ahhh~"

"Smack!"

"Ah~"

"Smack!"

"Up, up, up, ......"

Thirty minutes later, after eating ten eggs and half a catty of milk, taking a bath, and changing into a corset, Mika Chihiro covered her face and came to the second floor of the main house.

On the table of the family hall is the family heirloom ninja knife - the name of the knife: wind from the clouds, long knife, shaped like a seedling, the blade is one meter two, plus the handle of one meter five, and three fingers wide.

Take the knife to worship, Chihiro knelt on the ground with a snort, and respectfully worshiped the knife.

After taking the knife, he yawned and walked to the staircase on the right side against the wall leading to the third floor, where the ancestors of the Mika family were enshrined on the table on the third floor.

Inevitably, Chihiro knelt on the ground again, quite religious.

Every time, I just begged the ancestors of the predecessor not to blame him, the alien soul who occupied the magpie's nest.

Chihiro's usual training is not in the house, but in the trees.

The mushroom-like tree has a dense canopy with a diameter of more than 15 meters, and the artificially created tree has a regular distribution of branches in it, so much so that there is a lot of space to use.

Today, the dense canopy has been transformed by Chihiro's grandfather into a yurt-like wooden hut with a fully functional training facility.

The balcony on the third floor of the house has a ladder connecting the trunk of the tree, which coils along the trunk of the tree and extends to the inside of the canopy.

Chihiro had already descended the staircase into the canopy.

The treehouse is a little dim, but it's enough to see, because the entire dome is framed with glass, and light can shine through the gaps in the leaves.

Stakes, wooden figures, swing balls, hemp balls, targets, swings, tricycles, puppet dolls, wooden horses......

Well, it's not just a training ground, it's also a playground.

Although Chihiro didn't need any of this, she couldn't stand the fact that an old man with an unpredictable personality and temper felt he did.

Every time she comes to the treehouse, the first thing Chihiro does when she enters the door is to shake off the damn clogs on her feet.

He probably won't be able to get used to such cumbersome shoes for the rest of his life.

But I had to wear it again.

The old man who was traditional to the old-fashioned level, would let him go through the process before practicing the knife every time - washing and eating, bathing and changing clothes, wearing clogs, burning incense and binding hair, worshipping the knife on the second floor, worshipping the ancestors on the third floor, and only after finishing the tree could he go up the tree.

It's troublesome.

But his arms can't twist his thighs.

Disobedient dolls will be beaten, especially in this murderous ninja world, an elderly ninja who has spent most of his life on the battlefield has never been killed when he beats his grandson......

You can only listen to the complaints.

Throwing off the clogs, Chihiro took the knife straight to the trunk of the big tree in the center of the treehouse and sat cross-legged, and the knife was placed on her knees.

Originally, according to the old man's request, he should sit on his knees, but Chihiro really couldn't kneel, so when the old man didn't stare at him, he sat cross-legged, which made it easier for him to quickly enter a meditative state.

Of course, this is just a psychological effect, and I feel that sitting cross-legged is more 'superior'.

Meditation is not an easy task, people want to relax their bodies and close their eyes and then empty their minds, in fact, it is easy to fall asleep, especially in the morning after getting up and eating breakfast, it is not too refreshing to go back to sleep or something.

Therefore, if you want to not fall asleep in this situation, you have to focus on something first, then slowly dismiss other distractions, and finally slowly distract your concentrated attention, and you will enter a state of half-dreaming and half-awake, unable to distinguish who I am, where I am, and what I am doing......

At this time, time will freeze, and there will be a feeling of seconds like the sun, so that the meditative state required by the old man can be achieved.

This meditation method, the thing that is pinned on when you concentrate is the family tradition of the ninja knife.

As for how to wake up after meditation, there is no need to worry about it because it will wake up naturally.

After about twenty minutes, Chihiro woke up from meditation, his mind still blank, but his eyes were crystal clear.

The first thing he saw was the knife, and although it was not directly in front of his line of sight, it was undoubtedly the knife that was most familiar to him in the entire field of vision.

Of course, his first action was to take a knife.

When the familiar touch came, before the brain could react, Chihiro had already subconsciously raised the knife and got up, and slashed into the air, followed by the second knife, and then the third knife......

Knife after knife, knife after knife, knife faster than knife.

In an instant, there were many shadows.

Because it is a family tradition of swordsmanship, the sword art of the Jianhua family has a systematic and mature way of practice.

It is divided into nine phases:

The first stage is unloading.

Use the knife technique to constantly attack the stake, and when you can unload the power of the shock without hurting yourself under the full slash, it will be completed.

The second stage is precision.

Using the knife technique to attack the physiological vital points marked on the wooden man's body and the vital points distributed in the chakra tendons, it is completed if you can hit all the vital points within one minute and thirty seconds.

The third stage is control.

Use the knife technique to attack the iron ball suspended by the wire, and when the iron ball swings 180 degrees, attack the iron ball, and make it stand still with one sword.

These three stages are the foundation and skills, and there is no shortcut to technical things except for hard work.

Practicing at the age of three, Chihiro spent three years completing the first three stages of basic training.

Three years is not an unhappy time.

It seems like a simple basic training, but it is actually extremely difficult.

First of all, the unloading of this item, because the ancestral ninja knife of the Hana family - Feng Congyun, is a blunt knife, with a blade, but no edge, and the stake used for training is also a wooden creation, far harder than ordinary wood, so that the countershock force generated when attacking the stake with a blunt knife is very large, Chihiro injured the right hand when he first chopped the stake with all his strength, and he couldn't use it for a few days, and then for a long time his hands were full of blood blisters, and the calluses were worn off a few layers before he mastered the unloading skills.

The difficulty of the second stage is that it is limited to one minute and thirty seconds.

There are as many as one hundred and eight vital acupuncture points in the body and chakra meridians marked on the wooden figures.

Some draw lines, some draw circles, some draw points, some are bright, some are dark, such as armpit leg bending and arm bending, if you want to attack all of them, you must not only be fast and accurate, but also need to use a series of complex knife combinations such as splitting, teasing, hooking, cutting, stabbing, and picking.

Where to attack first and then where to attack, you need to think twice, remember all the positions, and find the optimal attack sequence, and with precision and zero mistakes, you have a chance to complete all the critical attacks in one minute and thirty seconds.

Finally, the third stage can be regarded as the first and second stages of advanced training.

If you want to cut a 180-degree swinging iron ball (10 centimeters in diameter) with a single knife, first of all, the smooth iron ball can only be stressed when it hits the center point, so the knife must be accurate.

Secondly, the anti-shock force generated by slashing the high-speed moving iron ball is terrible, and it will not unload the force and waste the hand.

Based on the above two points, the rest is very scientific.

How to stop a moving object with an impact, for example, conservation of momentum or something......

Forget it, it's too difficult to explain it with a formula or something.

In short, this thing can only use time to exchange experience, through continuous practice to find the feel, occasionally the blind cat meets the dead mouse, it is not very difficult to cut and stop once or twice, the difficult thing is to be stable every time.

It took Chihiro more than a year to complete the third stage.

In addition to his talent, he also benefited from his physical strength, speed, agility, stamina, senses, defense, and reflexes.

Chihiro was once praised by her grandfather as the most talented swordsman in the history of the Mika family.

However, geniuses like him got stuck in the fourth stage.

Stage 4: Strike.

The wind has a blade from the clouds without a front, and it is necessary to infuse the chakra to open the front.

But you need the wind attribute.

However, Chihiro's chakra attribute is not wind.

Therefore, it is necessary to develop the wind attribute chakra first.

It takes time.
