Chapter 578: Kojima Country Arc - Sugisawa Village (5)

Koi sighed and shook his head in disappointment, "How can it be so easy to become a ninja, there are many other trainings, such as balance training, agility training, which I am not good at!" From this training onwards, it started to get really hard for me. ”

Daoba: "So, only you can't do it?" Can anyone else do it? ”

Xiaojing shook his head, "Of course not, most of the people in sensitive training are not good." ”

Xiao An: "Tell me what you have trained?" ”

Daoba suddenly slapped his head, "I'm still addicted to you, aren't we catching that female ninja?" Why do you go so far off topic? ”

Xiao An shook his head, "I've run away a long time ago, and I can't catch her with my perception range, is it necessary for us to continue looking?" And as the saying goes, knowing oneself and knowing the other side can win all battles, let's know more about ninjas, and there is no harm in understanding ninjas! With that, he turned his head to Koi, "You continue!" ”

Xiaojing nodded, "Then I can continue to say, agility training is special, most of them are special training for agility quality, such as jumping over a rope full of blades, and the soles of your feet will be blurred if you are not careful!" Then there is the dangerous obstacle run in the later stage of training, and the running path will be covered with many dangerous obstacles, such as stingers, traps, steel wires, poison arrows, poison crossbows and other deadly hidden weapons. Sometimes there are even no bones left! I couldn't even jump over the most basic knife rope during these trainings. ”

Daoba asked Xiao An in a low voice, "Is his physical strength poor, doesn't it look like it?" ”

Xiao An: "It's really not like it, but judging from Xiao Jing's expression, there should be something unspeakable..."After listening to Xiao An's words, Dao frowned, expressing doubt.

Koi continued, "Then it's the endurance training, and it's even more brutal! Ninja endurance training is divided into two training methods: static training and dynamic training. The static training method is to hang the hands on a tree or platform, rely on the hands to support the whole body hanging, and put hidden weapons on the ground, requiring the ninjas to train must not let go and jump down, but the requirements are different from reality, this training method has a very high mortality rate! There is also the dynamic training method, using basic long-distance running kung fu, you must have the endurance to run fifty or sixty miles, an excellent ninjutsu master, plus jumping, can run more than 150 miles a day, I am ashamed, I couldn't even run ten kilometers at that time. After speaking, he shook his head regretfully.

"Knife Ba" sounds pretty cruel. ”

Koi: "I think so too! The cruelty of endurance training has made me unbearable, not to mention the strength training that made me collapse later, the strength training of ninjutsu is to strive for ninjas to exert their maximum human strength, they use many training methods, such as lifting boulders, pulling trees, topping waterfalls or something, I can't even complete daily training, let alone the final exam! Of course, there is also the special skill training at the end, which makes me desperate! There are many special skills in the martial arts of ninjutsu, such as diving breath-holding, hand-to-hand combat, kendo, hidden weapons, disguise, medicine, poison and detoxification, and hearing and smell training...... And it is necessary to have a high level of hunger and thirst to survive in the wild. These are all projects that I can't pass. ”

Xiao An scratched his chin: "So, as long as you use more brains, you can complete them with a high probability, but you can't do it if you have more hands?" ”

Koi thought for a moment, "It seems like this, and what's even stranger is that when I train alone, I can easily complete most of the projects, but when I see someone injured or killed because of this, I don't know what's wrong, I can't finish anything, so in the training crowd, I'm actually lucky, at least I'm still alive." ”

Xiao An: "What? Is the mortality rate particularly high during training? Wouldn't it be that before a few useful ninjas were trained, people would die first? ”

Koi: "Yes, the mortality rate is very high, and most of these basic exercises are fatal!" But once you can pass these extremely fatal, inhumane practices! Those who are trained will achieve a superhuman leap from the spirit to the body! This is also an indisputable fact! The people who have been trained have gained perseverance, stamina, and combat effectiveness beyond ordinary people, and they have become true ninjas! Each of these ninjas who survived through ninjutsu training is an absolutely reliable full-power fighting machine! ”

"Good fellow, you have passed the training with such a high mortality rate, just so that you can perform the mission?" After that, he looked at Xiao An, "Are all ninjas masochists?" ”

Koi shook his head, "Of course not, and they are not qualified to perform tasks, they have just become ninjas, like the preliminary round, the real ninja training is much more than that, the formal training has just begun!" ”

Xiao An also felt incredible, "My God, didn't it all pass?" What else do you need to train? ”

Koi: "Teacher, you must know that ninjas also have extremely high requirements for ninjutsu martial arts, and those who can pass the training I just mentioned are just test items to see if they are qualified to be ninjas, and they need to be trained to become real ninjas!" After becoming a ninja, you have to start systematic learning very, very much, usually it takes about five years of training, including swordsmanship, archery, equestrianism, jiu-jitsu, foot skills, body balance, poison darts and other ninjutsu special training! If you want to become the best ninja, you must master all of these skills! And it has to be top-notch! ”

"Hey, so much training is only given for five years? Time is too tight, right? After these trainings, you can carry out the mission, right? ”

Koi shook his head, "Of course...... Still no, these are just the physical skills in the basic ninjutsu, and whether the physical skills can meet the standards is an important basis! If the physical skills are proved to be up to the standard after the test, it proves that the physique is also up to the standard, and after the physique reaches the standard, you can start to really learn ninjutsu! The ninjutsu here refers to the stealth technique of "just look at Xiao An"! Escape! and the five elements related to ninjutsu. ”

Xiao An was surprised when he heard the stealth technique, and said, "I'll wipe it!" Stealth? ”

Xiaojing nodded, "Actually, it's not really a stealth technique, just because these people have been trained to be extremely sensitive to their hands and feet, and their ability to jump and run is different from that of ordinary people. Flying cornices and walking on the wall? It is practiced by long-term jumping, grasping, climbing, and transcending kung fu. ”

"I'll go, after learning this, I should be able to perform the task, right?" ”

Xiao Jing took a sip of water, shook his head, and continued, "After learning this, they can only perform some basic daily tasks, and they need to work harder to cultivate the secret method!" When you master these secret ninjas, you will become a real master! And the masters because of their mysterious actions and hidden whereabouts, they are called "ghost arts" and "invisible arts", etc., but in addition to flying stealth, issuing hidden weapons is one of the best ninjutsu martial arts"

Xiao An rolled his eyes, "Won't it?" So you have to train again? ”

Koi: "Nod, yes!" Ninjutsu weapons can be any item, most of them are poison darts and copper coins, but there are also swords, chisels, etc. There are many applications of ninjutsu hidden weapons, and the copper coins that throw hair and quench poison are the unique skills of every ninjutsu master, and the flying technique and the dark weapon are called the "three unique ninjutsu skills" and the poison and detoxification technique"

Xiao An: "Can you do this?" ”

Koi: "That's right, I'm very good at this, all the ninjutsu masters are good at this, in fact, the poisons used in ninjutsu are all extracted from minerals, animals and plants, and the medicinal power is strong enough to kill an elephant." A tiny amount of the drug is enough to make you drowsy, paralyzed, or temporarily insane.

There are also many methods of poisoning in ninjutsu, and the tips of daggers, darts, and arrows dipped in poison are used for assassination. Those who are adulterated with poison in food or drink are used for murder. Ninjutsu detoxification using various poisonous items such as poisonous flowers, incense burners, etc., is used to save people. Most of them are made with herbs and medicinal liquor. ”

"So after training these, you can become a ninja who can perform tasks?" ”

Koi: "That's right, ninjutsu, which is regarded as the "art of killing", has only been learned by ninja organizations since ancient times, and it is specially used to perform activities such as espionage and assassination of political enemies! In the era of the Tokugawa shogunate in the small island country, espionage and counter-espionage activities were prevalent, in fact, the great fighting methods of various ninja organizations. The Great War. ”

"Later, in the development of the small island country's society, the use of ninjutsu and the terrorist activities of ninjas began to be condemned by the world, and eventually they were banned by explicit order, and the activities of ninjutsu went completely underground. People gradually began to know less about ninjas, and later it was through the rendering of film and television works that the world once again realized the ancient and cruel profession of the small island nation... Ninja! ”

Xiao An: "So the ninja is an all-round assassination machine, to put it bluntly?" ”

Koi: "You also need to be strong enough to survive in the wild, as I just said, ninjas have a lot of knowledge of medicinal herbs, and can distinguish between poison and good medicine, and act when the opportunity arises. He also knows the habits of wild animals well, and many ninjutsu are learned from the habits of wild animals.

Even astronomical meteorology is one of the indispensable basic ninjutsu, for example, observing the spider web at night for water droplets, and if so, the next day is a sunny day. Another example is that there is a halo around the moon, or if the moonlight is brighter than usual, the next day it will be rainy. It starts to rain at 12 o'clock in the evening, 8 o'clock in the morning, and in the evening, and it can rain for several days in a row. If you get lost in the mountains, you should use a fire to bake a hot sewing needle, or apply wax to the needle, and immediately put it in water, and the direction of the needle is the north. The sewing needles on the ninja's body can not only be used to distinguish directions, but also can be used as acupuncture tools when injured or tired. What should I do when I run out of water from the kettle? Look for ant holes or mole cricket holes. Where there are ants and mole crickets, there must be water nearby! ”
