Chapter 104 The Strongest Swordsmith

The Konoha defense line decisively sent a 500-man ninja army to quickly support the Kusagakure Village.

They knew about the mysterious ninja army as soon as they entered the Land of Grass, but the opponent's speed was too fast. Even if they estimated that the opponent's target was the Kusagakure Village, it was difficult to support them in time.

However, the Kusagakure Village was a ninja village after all, and it would not be destroyed by those people, so they were not worried about it.

As long as the Kusagakure Village held on, they would be able to arrive.

It was not until dawn that the Konoha ninja army arrived.

Thousand Hands Orange Water looked at the village in front of him, which was shrouded in fire and smoke, and his heart sank.

The situation was much worse than they expected. They thought that the Kusagakure Village could hold on until their support arrived, but who would have thought that it had been destroyed. Obviously, the opponent was very strong.

Suddenly turning his head to look behind him, three figures jumped over, the first one was Thousand Hands Tsunade, followed by the senior dog licker Jiraiya and the tall, rich and handsome Kato Dan.

Looking at the village covered by fire and thick smoke, Tsunade and others were speechless.

This was the first time they faced a war of the level of destroying the village. The scene was too tragic.

"Didn't your uncle ask you to check the injuries of the wounded?"

Senju Orange Water was dissatisfied. He and his uncle didn't want Tsunade to come to Kusagakure Village, and even rarely let Tsunade come into contact with Kusagakure Ninjas. Unexpectedly, she still came.

"Those wounded have been checked and arranged many times. There is no problem. On the contrary, the problem here in Kusagakure Village is very big."

Tsunade looked at the village covered by fire and thick smoke in front of her, and she couldn't connect it with the former Kusagakure Village.

Seeing Tsunade's attitude, Senju Orange Water couldn't say anything, but the current appearance of Kusagakure Village seemed to no longer need to avoid Tsunade.

"Search and rescue survivors with all your strength."

After receiving the order, everyone quickly entered the ruined Kusagakure Village to search for possible survivors and some valuable things.

Since Kusagakure Village was destroyed, it was reasonable for them to collect some valuable things as extra income.

Just treat it as the corpse collection fee.

"All the damage was caused by the explosion. Either the opponent used a large number of detonating tags to fight, or possessed special ninjutsu. Many places showed signs of being touched by earth escape ninjutsu."

After a round, Jiraiya came back with a solemn expression, roughly judging that the opponent's main means of fighting was explosion.

Many houses were destroyed, and there were many charred holes on the ground left by the explosion.

If detonating tags were used to blow up, at least 100,000 pieces would be needed, and they had to be of high quality.

"Iwagakure's blasting troops."

Gnashing her teeth, Tsunade Senju immediately thought of the blasting troops of Iwagakure Village. Many of them had bloodline limits of explosive escape, which caused them a lot of trouble and casualties in the previous war.

Jiraiya also guessed so. Although he did not rule out the possibility of other ninja villages taking action, other ninja villages had no motive in this regard.

The only one that had a grudge against Kusagakure Village was the Iwagakure Village. After all, the Kusagakure Village was their Konoha's ally in this Ninja World War, and they had fought together against the Iwagakure Village before.

But the Iwagakure Village was too cruel, and actually destroyed the entire Kusagakure Village.

"Some traces were found in the north, and it can be roughly inferred that the number of people is no more than 600."

Kato Dan jumped over and told what he found outside the Kusagakure Village.

"The opponent's movement speed is very fast, which has exceeded the perception range of our perception ninjas. We may not be able to catch up, and there may be traps. It is difficult to gain anything without enough manpower."

He felt very powerless about the fighting style and combat power of the ninja army. The opponent's tactics were very rough and simple, and they did not even cover up their combat targets, which was not in line with the style of ninjas.

The reason was that the opponent's marching speed was too fast, so fast that their communication could not be sent to the Kusagakure Village in time, and the Kusagakure Village itself did not have a good means of perception and exploration, so it was caught off guard and quickly annihilated.

It was too helpless to encounter such an opponent. After all, if you can't catch up with them, no matter how strong your own strength is, it is meaningless.

Just like this time, they rushed to the Kusagakure Village, but all they saw were raging fires and ruins, and no trace of the enemy. They had all their strength but nowhere to use it.

Tsunade was silent. Although she wanted to chase and kill the group, her reason told her that what Duan said was right.

Moreover, this army was not led by her now, and with the temperament of Orange Water, he would definitely not take risks.

"Have you found Uncle Taoye and the others?"

Suppressing those thoughts, Tsunade asked about the whereabouts of the uncle.

The uncle came to Kusagakure Village to discuss the next plan to fight against the Iwagakure Ninja Army, and it is very likely that he also encountered an accident.

This is also the main reason why she chased him.

"Only found this!"

Jiraiya took out half of the charred forehead protector, and could barely see the forehead protector pattern belonging to their Konoha, and there was a broken number on the back.

The forehead protector has become like this, and the person must be in danger.

This is something that has been expected, this is war.

Too many people have died in the war for a year, and many familiar faces have disappeared forever. Now there is only one more.

This is not the first, nor the last. I just hope the war can end soon!

"I hate war!"

She stretched out her shaking hands to take the half forehead protector. Tsunade knelt down with her legs softened and punched the ground hard, becoming more and more disgusted with war.

The war made her lose many relatives and clansmen. The first Ninja World War made her lose her second grandfather, and she also lost a lot in this war.

And the war is not over yet, and it is unknown how many relatives and companions she will lose in the future.

Why does war exist, which brings misfortune to people?

Kato Dan and Jiraiya looked at Tsunade and didn't know how to persuade her for a while.

"Where are the people? Where are they?"

At this moment, a roar full of grief and anger came. The three turned their heads and found that several ninjas wearing Kusagakure forehead protectors were shouting wildly.

Jiraiya hesitated and walked over, but before he could speak, he was grabbed by the collar by someone.

"Did you do it in Konoha?"

The man had a hideous face and his eyes revealed a sense of collapse and madness.

He just went out to perform a patrol mission, but when he came back, he found that the village was in ruins and everyone was gone.

"It wasn't us, it was the blasting team of the Iwagakure Village that destroyed your Kusagakure Village."

Jiraiya hurriedly explained, and was also very angry at the cruel Iwagakure Ninja.

"That's also the fault of you, Konoha. You put the battlefield in our Grass Country and forced our Grass Village to join you to fight against the Rock Village. Now the Rock Village is taking revenge on us. It's all your fault."

"What did we do wrong? We brought war and death to your Konoha, and now even the village is gone."

"You, Konoha, are the murderers, the murderers who slaughtered tens of thousands of people in our Grass Country."

Several people collapsed and went crazy, pointing at Jiraiya and cursing.

The high-intensity war in the past year had already made him full of repression and resentment, and now even the village was gone, which made them even more collapsed.

And it was Konoha that caused all this, it was all Konoha's fault!

This curse and questioning made Jiraiya speechless and unable to refute.

They did not want to spread the war to the Fire Country, so they went to war with the Rock Village and the Rain Village in the Grass Country, and they did bring countless harm to the Grass Country.

The alliance between Kusagakure Village and their Konoha was indeed strongly requested by their Konoha. Now that Iwagakure Village has destroyed Kusagakure Village in revenge, it is indirectly related to their Konoha.

These are facts that cannot be denied.

Tsunade behind her turned pale, looking at the ruins of Kusagakure Village and the corpses everywhere.

Are these all their faults?

Kato Dan raised his hand and put it on Tsunade's shoulder and sighed. He also knew the essence of the matter, but in this cruel ninja world, being weak is a mistake and a sin!

Senju Orange Water, who personally led the team to search Kusagakure Village, looked at the few people who collapsed and yelled, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

It's really noisy!

Not to mention the farce at the ruins of Kusagakure Village, the fleeing Kumogakure Ninja Army on the other side did not stop, and went straight along the long-planned road through the Land of Grass and the Land of Taki to the coast, and went out to sea by boat. Everything was so silent and smooth.

As for Tamura Hao and his companions, they did not follow them back, but separated midway and went to the neighboring Iron Country.

First, they wanted to purchase supplies in the Iron Country, and second, Tamura Hao wanted to learn the most authentic and advanced swordsmanship here.

Tamura Hao's target was Mifune, who had become the general of the Iron Country. He was the strongest samurai in the Iron Country, and his swordsmanship was naturally the strongest.

But there was no rush for the time being. Several people first came to the interior of the Samurai City in Sanlang Mountain and found the best swordsman in the Iron Country, Ichiro Kusama.

Tamura Hao had contact with this person a long time ago. Big Cat and Little Cat were made by this person. As Big Cat and Little Cat, he met this strongest swordsman who had retired.

"They are all rare and good materials, but it's a pity that they only focus on the assistance of ninjutsu and don't bring out the characteristics of the materials perfectly."

Ichiro Kusama looked at the several ninja swords in front of him with regret.

The materials of these ninja swords are all top-notch, but it's a pity that the casting direction is wrong and the power of the materials is not fully exerted.

Especially the beheading sword is simply unbearable to look at, the blade is too brittle, it's a pity for the good materials inside.

These ninja swords are more focused on the auxiliary performance of ninjutsu, but have lost the essence of the sword.

What a pity!

"So the old gentleman needs to correct them."

Tamura Hao smiled, the purpose of coming here this time is to use the ninja swords obtained from the Hidden Mist Village as materials to forge better swords.

Kusama Ichiro did not express his opinion on this, looking up at the boy opposite, very surprised.

"I didn't expect the owner of this pair of swords to be so young."

A few years ago, someone came to ask him to forge a pair of long swords, the requirements were very high, and it was a big challenge for him.

He thought it was a powerful ninja who practiced physical skills and swordsmanship, but he didn't expect it to be a teenager.

"In a few years, it will be able to match the big cat and the small cat."

Tamura Hao looked at the two swords placed on his legs. The size of these two swords is indeed a bit big for him now.

"Let me see how you use those two swords."

Ichiro Kusama stood up and picked up a two-meter-long Nodachi from the sword rack, wanting to test the boy's swordsmanship.

The two swords were his best works, mainly because the other party was willing to spend money and bought a lot of precious materials.

Although there is still a gap compared to the legendary Kusanagi sword, it is already his limit and the most satisfactory work.

"Is the old man also a samurai?"

Seeing Ichiro Kusama pick up the exaggerated Nodachi, Tamura Hao was slightly surprised.

The wild sword was very long, definitely two meters long, but it didn't look awkward in Ichiro Kusama's hands, because Ichiro Kusama was extremely burly, no worse than the Third Raikage.

"How can you forge a good sword without becoming an excellent samurai?"

Ichiro Kusama asked back. Although his swordsmanship was not top-notch, he could still be ranked among the best in the Iron Country.

"I haven't competed with a pure samurai yet."

Tamura Hao was ready to fight, and stood up with the sword in hand. His chakra connected with Kaguya, borrowing the power of the other party's Sharingan and Byakugan.

Although he couldn't borrow it completely, fortunately Kaguya's level was high enough, and even if he could only borrow a part of it, it would be a huge improvement for Tamura Hao.

Yeyue Ai and the others jumped to the side and gave the venue to the two.

"Chiu!"

Tamura Hao temporarily inserted the two swords into the floor, freed his hands and quickly formed seals. The power of Chidori flashed in his hands, and then quickly sank into his hands, and then circulated in his muscles and bones.

This is the Chidori Speed ​​he and Yeyue Ai created with reference to the Lightning Release Armor. They abandoned the original Chidori's attack power and focused on the stimulation of speed burst, which can burst out faster.

As for the attack power, it can be compensated by the sharpness of Big Cat and Little Cat at this stage.

This will be very useful whether it is fighting or running.

"Nintaijutsu!"

Ichiro Kusama became more serious. After a confrontation, his figure suddenly disappeared. When he appeared again, he had arrived in front of Tiancun Hao. The samurai sword in his hand was unsheathed like lightning and slashed towards Tiancun Hao's chest and abdomen.

It was swift and fierce, but the power contained shocked Tiancun Hao even more.

In addition, there was a strange momentum, which made him feel depressed.

This strange momentum made Tiancun Hao's eyes bright. Obviously, this is the essence of samurai swordsmanship.

Iai Slash!

Tiancun Hao saw that this was the most commonly used Iai Slash by samurai. In essence, it can be regarded as a sword-drawing technique, but it was more insidious and fierce, and there would be subsequent fierce moves.

The real Iai Slash is to kill the opponent with a sword in various ways, for example, when talking, you can still smile and joke in the last second, and then pull out a knife and stab in the next second.

The key is to catch the opponent by surprise and make it impossible for the opponent to defend.

Of course, such Iai Slash is rarely used in a head-on confrontation. The Iai Slash used in a real confrontation is a more serious one, which focuses more on the burst of speed.

Seriously speaking, Iai Slash is actually divided into two types. One is the kneeling Iai, which is the purest Iai Slash. It is performed in a kneeling posture, which is more sudden and difficult to guard against.

Then there is the standing posture Iai Slash, also known as the Standing Iai Slash, which is mostly used in head-on confrontation. Now Ichiro Kusama is using the Standing Iai Slash.

Ichiro Kusama's Standing Iai Slash is very fast, but Tamura Hao's speed is not slow either. Coupled with the super dynamic vision of the Sharingan power, it is enough to react.

There is no hard fight. He took a step back to avoid the blade, and at the same time, the two swords attacked Ichiro Kusama in two directions, one slash and one stab, swift and fierce.

Ichiro Kusama knew the sharpness of the two blades he had forged very well, so he naturally wouldn't use his body to block them.

He took a step back to avoid the stab of the little cat, and blocked the big cat with the wild sword in his hand.

Tamura Hao didn't fight with Ichiro Kusama. He swung his arm, and the big cat turned the blade to avoid the wild sword with great force, and the little cat in his right hand stabbed at the same time.

The two sides started a fierce swordsmanship competition, and the sharp sword light made the people on the side terrified.

"The strength of the samurai should not be underestimated."

Ye Yue Ai exclaimed. Although the samurai had a big shortcoming compared to the ninja, his strength in close combat was really strong.

He didn't have the confidence to block the old man's blade with his current lightning armor. He might have to cultivate the lightning chakra mode.

Fukai didn't say anything, but he had already pulled out the long sword behind him, stroking the blade, and the fighting spirit in his heart was rising.

In addition to protecting the student, he also wanted to see the swordsmanship of the Iron Country samurai. It would be perfect if he could learn some.

Tamura Hao was multitasking. While holding two swords to fight against Ichiro Kusama, he used the Sharingan and the power of the Byakugan to gain a full insight into the chakra flow trajectory and swordsmanship techniques in Ichiro Kusama's body.

Then he used the understanding enhanced by the golden finger to quickly understand and digest it, extracting the part that suits him and integrating it into his own fighting techniques.

He used to spend a high price to buy a set of samurai training methods, including a set of basic swordsmanship movements and training methods, to train his body.

However, advanced training methods are difficult to buy with money, not to mention those mysterious things that can only be understood but not expressed in words.

This time he came to the Iron Country to see more advanced samurai training methods and those mysterious things.

Kusama Ichiro's swordplay is very unique, with big openings and closings, and great force and heaviness. It seems that what he is swinging in his hand is not a sword, but a sledgehammer. The power of the chopping is extremely domineering and powerful, and Tamura Hao dare not confront him head-on.

At the same time, Kusama Ichiro's attack has a special rhythm. Tamura Hao tried many times but failed to interrupt the opponent's fighting rhythm. It is very difficult to deal with.

Then there is the pressure of that momentum, which makes Tamura Hao more depressed, and even affects the performance of swordplay.

In the end, he defended more and attacked less, and was completely suppressed.

After fighting for more than ten minutes, Kusama Ichiro took the initiative to jump back, his breathing became rapid, and sweat appeared on his head.

"Thank you for your advice, old man!"

Tamura Hao, who was also breathing rapidly, took a breath and bowed to the old man.

He had learned a lot in the previous battle. In terms of the increase in physical fitness by pure chakra, the research of samurai was much better than that of ninja.

Although Ichiro Kusama was over 60 years old, the speed and strength of his explosion under the blessing of chakra were still very fierce. He did not dare to collide with the opponent's wild sword.

"I am old, old, and I am not as good as you young people."

Ichiro Kusama, who had just recovered, pounded his shoulders. He was sore all over after fighting for a while. It was indeed not as good as when he was young.

"The foundation of your swordsmanship is pure samurai style. As a ninja, how did you think of learning such pure samurai swordsmanship?"

He was quite curious about this. Although he did not want to admit it, ninjas were indeed much stronger than them samurai. They would be at a disadvantage against ninjas.

"There are two reasons. One is that my chakra qualification is average, and the amount of chakra will be very limited, which is not suitable for using those external ninjutsu attacks. The other is that I think the potential of swordsmanship is very high. Once developed, it will never be worse than the ninjutsu system."

Tamura Haozhen does not think that swordsmanship and physical skills are bad, especially when fighting against the strong men of the Otsutsuki clan in the future. Using ninjutsu is basically charging people, illusion is even more nonsense, and the role of fairy skills is not great. Only physical skills and swordsmanship can hurt people.

As a time traveler, his ultimate enemy is naturally not the ninjas in the ninja world, but the Otsutsuki!

Whether it is the Six Paths Sage, Otsutsuki Hamura, or the Otsutsuki clan in the universe, they are all enemies that he will face in the future.

So physical skills and swordsmanship are the right way to practice.

"Are you referring to the ninjutsu and physical skills of your Cloud Hidden Village?"

Ichiro Kusama's favorability towards the boy in front of him has improved a little.

Tamura Hao put away the big cat and the small cat, and explained seriously: "It's not just those ninjutsu, but a more pure sword technique. There is no need to make hand seals. You can practice the change of chakra properties to the extreme and add it to the sword to obtain various special effects.

Combined with the air blade slash of chakra form change, the system formed will never be weaker than the ninjutsu system.

Samurai now practice chakra, which is not the exclusive power of ninjas. Ninjas are just an industry system. Samurai can also practice the change of chakra properties and forms, and promote the power of samurai further..."

I put forward my own ideas about the sword technique system one by one, mainly the special effects in the anime and film and television dramas I have seen in my previous life.
