"Wait."

However, before Kicho turned around, the voice of Izayoi came.

"Is there anything else?"

Kicho seems confused.

"Yes, I have something to ask of you, sister Kicho."

Izayoi made a sincere request.

"Please tell me? Tell me."

Kicho laughed with interest when he heard this.

Izayoi did not hesitate and stated his request:

"Actually, I want to improve my Taijutsu ability recently. I heard that sister Kicho is a Taijutsu master, so..."

At this point, Izayoi didn't say any more, but the meaning was already expressed very clearly.

"That's it, I understand. I will come over and give you guidance when I have time."

Kicho can see that Izayoi's overall strength is similar to when she first married Land of Night five or six years ago, and with her current strength, it is not difficult to guide Izayoi Taijutsu.

"But, sister Izayoi, do you want to learn Gentle Fist or Strong Fist?"

Kicho asked.

Different from the traditional Hyuga Gentle Fist style, now she has already been able to integrate the two styles Gentle Fist and Strong Fist. The traditional moves of the Hyuga Clan have also been improved by her in various ways, and they are very suitable for her own style.

Izayoi was stunned, and for some reason, she suddenly remembered the 'Eight Trigrams Palms Revolving Heaven' that Yayoi wanted to teach her before...

"Eight Trigrams Palms Revolving Heaven..."

"Eight Trigrams Palms Revolving Heaven?"

Hearing Izayoi's unconscious murmur, Kicho looked strange.

"Ah, it's not, me, that..."

Izayoi suddenly blushed and looked at a loss, as if he wanted to try his best to defend something.

But the more she acted like this, the weirder Kicho looked.

She didn't expect that in less than a month, Izayoi had been trained by Yayoi to such an extent that even such profound knowledge as 'Eight Trigrams Palms Revolving Heaven' had been touched.

In another month, she didn't dare think about what Izayoi would look like.

Even Hisana did not fall so quickly.

He looks so serious, but I didn't expect... Tsk, tsk, it's true that a person cannot be judged by his appearance.

The new sisters are simply bolder than the other.

"That's it." Without giving Izayoi any room to explain, a meaningful smile appeared on Kicho's face, "Okay, starting from tomorrow, I will give some guidance. Sister Izayoi, you learn Gentle Fist. But there are many kinds of Eight Trigrams Palms Revolving Heaven. Sister Izayoi, which kind of Eight Trigrams Palms Revolving Heaven do you want to learn?"

"..."

Naturally, Yayoi didn't know what was happening in the inner house at this time.

His mind was now completely occupied by another matter.

That is, after more than a year of hard work, the Samurais headed by Kurobei finally perfected the basic prototype of the new Swordsmanship.

This new type of Swordsmanship no longer sticks to speed and sharpness. Instead, Chakra compresses itself to the extreme. Through the liberation of the sword, it launches explosive power like an artillery strike.

Firepower and range are the focus areas of this new Swordsmanship.

On the Outer Court training ground, twenty Samurais lined up in a row. All of them gripped the handle of the Samurai knife with both hands, and their whole bodies exuded a fierce and sharp aura, looking straight ahead.

About twenty meters in front of them, Irori stood facing the wind, his light blue kimono swaying gently.

Facing the twenty formidable Samurai, her face did not change at all, and her purple eyes did not fluctuate. It was just vaguely felt that she had secretly gathered Chakra and could unfold Ice Release Ninjutsu at any time.

Outside the venue, Yayoi and others were also paying close attention to this test. Kurobei, the leader of Samurai, did not join in, but stood next to Yayoi, staring at the field motionlessly.

"Let's get started."

Kurobei's voice was not loud, but it reached the ears of the twenty Samurai in the venue very clearly.

Just taking a breath, twenty Samurai quickly swung their swords forward, without accumulating force or hesitating, but Chakra completed the assembly in an instant and released it through the slender sword body.

Twenty invisible and high-speed airflows suddenly sent out a shock wave like a tsunami.

Boom!

The ground did not tear apart, but suddenly exploded. The terrifying shock wave was unstoppable and continued to charge, trying to destroy everything in front of it.

The dazzling white light took away everyone's vision.

Under this powerful shock wave, Irori also looked serious.

With a strong clap of his hands, the cold air like white mist surged forward, and a thick ice wall more than ten meters high was created and intercepted in front.

Boom!

The thick ice wall more than ten meters high had almost no room for resistance. It exploded instantly, revealing a huge hole, which was shattered from the inside to the outside by the joint attack of twenty Samurai.

Large chunks of ice fell from the sky in the aftermath of the explosion, making bursts of rumbling and vibrating sounds.

Ice chips and dust smoke spread everywhere, obscuring the figures of everyone in the field.

By the time the ice dust dispersed, the huge ice wall created by Irori had been shattered by Samurai's slashes, turning into large and small ice cubes scattered everywhere.

Not only the ice wall, but also the ground along the way seemed to have been blown apart by some kind of powerful explosive, exposing an irregular and long tunnel, more than one meter deep.

Yayoi nodded slightly when he saw this scene.

Eighteen Intermediate Samurai cooperated with two Upper Samurai. Although Irori was not injured, the ice wall created by Irori was destroyed by the combined attack.

Even if it's not Ice Release who used his full strength, this is already a huge improvement for the Samurais of the past.

Especially the slashes they fired were more stable. Unlike more than a year ago, when releasing the materialized Chakra, the power and direction were easily out of control. Only Upper Samurai could barely control it.

But things are different now. Not only all Upper Samurai members have mastered this 'Sword Cannon'-like slashing attack, but many Intermediate Samurais have also mastered it one after another after hard training, which has increased their confidence in fighting ninjas.

With this 'Sword Cannon' attack, as proficiency increases, you can gradually abandon the charging stage and release it at will.

Although currently there are only a dozen or so Upper Samurai headed by Kurobei who can do this.

"It's very good. After the release form is stabilized, you can then focus on improving the power and range."

Yayoi commented.

"Yes, but we still don't have any clues about how to improve this. So recently I've been thinking about whether we can absorb some experience from the outside to speed up the process."

Kurobei nodded and said something that surprised Yayoi.

"External?"

"Yes. In addition to us Land of Night, there are also Samurais in other countries. Although they are rejected by the ninjas and will inevitably decline, there are probably some Samurais with good abilities among them. I think if they are absorbed..."

Kurobei looked at Yayoi, his underlying meaning was self-evident.

Although Land of Night is the country with the strongest Samurai culture, it does not mean that Samurai from all Ninja Worlds are gathered together.

There are many Samurai strong people who are not affiliated with Land of Night.

"Interesting idea."

Yayoi has a lot of interest in this.

"Kurobei, what are you going to do?"

Yayoi turned around and asked Kurobei.

"Hold the Samurai competition publicly to attract Samurai from all over the world."

Kurobei blurted out. Judging from his confident attitude, this idea was not born in a day or two.

Kurobei's proposal reminded Yayoi of Chunin Ninja Exams in the original work. It also used an open competition to show the power of the younger generation of ninjas to senior officials from various countries and enhance the prestige of the ninja village and the country.

Yayoi touched his chin and thought. In theory, Kurobei's plan is feasible.

It's just that the regulations will be a bit cumbersome, but for Land of Night, this is not a difficult task.

Of course, the most critical point is that since this is an open competition to the entire Ninja World, it is necessary to use extremely loud gimmicks to attract powerful Samurai from Ninja World countries to participate.

For example... the final winner can get the honorary title of 'Ninja World First Swordsman'?
