Uchiha Style Swordsmanship!

The Genjutsu: Bubble Technique can subtly and imperceptibly trap people in Genjutsu through subtle movements and suggestive gestures.
From the very beginning, Yuta beckoned to him with his finger, indicating that he could attack at will. On the surface, he was displaying an arrogant and careless attitude, but in reality, he was hinting at activating the Bubble Technique.
If Shunren keeps a close eye on this action and becomes emotionally agitated by the opponent's provocation, he will fall into the trap of the enemy's Genjutsu.
Shunren also practiced this Genjutsu; how could he not know its principles?
Therefore, he followed suit, outwardly displaying the Seal of Confrontation in preparation for battle, but in reality subtly hinting at the use of the Bubble Technique.
"I see... No wonder you were able to defeat my brother." Yuta's eyes softened slightly, his disdain lessening. The Genjutsu being broken hadn't shaken him in the slightest.
"Bang!" Yuta took out a scroll, from which he conjured a sword and held it in his hand. The cold, snow-white blade reflected in his sharpened eyes.
"I heard you're also skilled with a sword?"
Shunren didn't waste any words, and gestured with his right hand.
"Yin Release: Projection!"
The black sword can only be described as sharp and ruthless.
Once both sides have drawn their swords, there's no need for any pleasantries; let's start fighting!
Yuta held the sword in one hand, took a step to the side with his left leg, and assumed an unusual stance.
"Bang!" With a stomp of his Yuta rushed over like a tiger or leopard.
Shunren also stomped his foot hard and lunged forward head-on in almost the exact same motion as his opponent.
"Uchiha Style Swordsmanship: Welcoming the Hunt!"
Same movements, same moves!
"Clang!!"
Shunren and Yuta's swords clashed head-on without yielding an inch, producing a crisp clang!
In that brief moment of contact, they each formed a general impression of the other.
Shunren: This is an excellent weapon, capable of directly confronting my Bakuya without breaking.
Yuta: The sharpness of the weapon is superior to mine, but I have the upper hand in both strength and speed.
The fierce clash did not end there; both men shifted their weight to one side with perfect coordination, causing their swords to graz each other and sparks to fly.
After the blades parted, the two figures continued to lean forward due to inertia.
Yuta raised his foot and stomped hard on the ground, forcefully stopping his momentum. Then he twisted his waist and slashed horizontally at Shunren.
Shunren continued to imitate the gourd, stomping his foot to stabilize his body, then turned around and struck with his sword.
However, his counterattack was different from Yuta's.
Because Yuta's sword was longer than his, and the opponent had calculated the distance precisely, only he could reach Shunren, while Shunren couldn't reach him.
Therefore, faced with the opponent's horizontal slash, Shunren had no choice but to turn his sword and use a powerful upward sweep to forcefully deflect the opponent's sword tip.
At the same time, Shunren immediately launched a counterattack, brandishing his sword and aiming straight for his opponent's abdomen.
Yuta's correct action at this moment would undoubtedly be to slash downwards with the raised sword to deflect Shunren's thrust. However, unexpectedly, after Yuta's sword-wielding hand fell, his fingers trembled and he released the sword, his bare hands clamping Shunren's wrist tightly, keeping the blade an inch away from his abdomen.
Yuta caught the falling sword with his left hand.
Shunren narrowed his eyes. This move was "Placed Hand" from the Uchiha Style Swordsmanship. It was a one-handed swordsmanship technique. The right hand would hold the sword and swing it as a feint. After releasing the sword, the palm would firmly restrain the opponent's hand holding the weapon. At the same time, the left hand would pick up the fallen sword from below and swing it at the enemy.
Although the scroll contained detailed records, this was the first time that Shunren had actually seen it.
A cold glint flashed in Shunren's left hand.
Yuta's pupils contracted, and he instinctively changed his sword-wielding motion to a parry.
"Bite!"
Caught off guard, Yuta back by this fierce attack.
Shunren Kanshou and Bakuya, a pair of black and white blades!
"Tch! So you're a dual-wielder?" Yuta brandished his sword with one hand, twirling it a few times before coldly saying, "What a show-off! Why didn't you just show it from the start? Did you think you had any room to hold back against me?"
Body Flicker Technique!
The Taijutsu technique of Body Flicker Technique does not require Hand Seals; it involves high-speed movement through physical motion.
Yuta appeared before Shunren in an instant, raising his sword high and slashing down with all his might.
Faced with the opponent's powerful strike, which came with the force of high-speed movement, Shunren naturally had to temporarily avoid the attack and sidestepped.
The sword blade struck the ground, and the hard stone was cleaved in two as easily as tofu, demonstrating that Shunren's choice to avoid the attack was correct.
However, he was then forced to take a heavy punch from his opponent.
Yuta wields a one-handed sword, so his other free hand can naturally be used for close-quarters combat.
Shunren was sent flying by a punch, but his opponent pressed his advantage, using the Body Flicker Technique to quickly close the distance and raise his sword to strike!
Despite the excruciating pain from his broken ribs, Shunren used his twin swords in a double-spinning motion to interrupt Yuta's downward strike.
Yuta immediately grabbed the sword with his backhand and planted it upside down in the ground. Then he bent it with brute force. His sword was made by Uchiha and was extremely tough. Unlike ordinary Ninja Blade, it was not easily broken. As soon as he loosened his grip, the bent sword straightened immediately. He used the rebound force to leap high into the air and then delivered a low kick to Shunren's head.
Shunren also slightly bent his waist and raised his leg to deliver a high kick, blocking the opponent's foot strike. He did this for a reason: if he raised his sword to parry, the opponent would immediately grab the sword on the ground and swing it at him, leaving him with no weapon to defend himself.
As expected, Yuta flipped his hand and grabbed the sword, swinging it at him in the next second.
"Clang!" At this moment, Shunren completely blocked it with his twin swords.
"Tsk~ How boring. It seems those old men in the clan have given you quite a few benefits." With his sword moves and actions completely exposed, Yuta immediately realized that his opponent must have read the sword manual. At the same time, he wasn't stupid; he knew that if things continued like this, he would not only fail to overpower Shunren, but would also have his swordsmanship honed little by little.
Just as the opponent guessed, the reason why Shunren had not used any other power and had only fought with his sword was to use Yuta as a practice tool to familiarize himself with the newly learned swordsmanship.
Of course, Shunren is far from being leisurely. To be fair, although he possesses some explosive abilities that allow him to confront Jonin, and even kill them if he catches them off guard, in terms of conventional strength alone, Shunren's current strength is probably only barely at the level of Chunin.
Therefore, it is an indisputable fact that Shunren was slightly at a disadvantage in his battle against Yuta, who was at the Chunin level.
Of course, defeating him is definitely not something that can be done in a short time.
"Clang clang clang~" Yuta swung his sword fiercely, but he was still helpless against Shunren's impenetrable sword dance.
"Are you going to just hold out? Are you an iron turtle?" Yuta's patience had been worn down, so he concentrated his Chakra and rushed it to his eyes.
"Sharingan!" Crimson red like blood, with two Tomoe separated by a 180-degree angle around the pupil.
