"No problem at all." Gamaken said to Senju Chen like a master.
Senju Chen No nonsense, he pulled out a training wooden sword from the weapon rack next to him.
Gamaken drew out the wooden sword that was longer than its body and drew a circle in the air.
"Boy, I'll give you three moves first."
Gamaken held the sword horizontally in front of him, assuming a standard Mount Myōboku starting position, and held the frame firmly.
Senju Chen didn't put up any posture, just stood there loosely, with the wooden sword hanging by his side.
Gamaken frowned. This stance was wide open and full of flaws, as if it had never been learned before.
"Come on." Gamaken said.
Senju Chen moved.
The first sword is a straight thrust.
The speed was not fast and the angle was quite satisfactory. Gamaken easily avoided it by tilting his head. He even had time to comment - "The sword is too straight. This kind of straight-line attack is useless in actual combat."
The second sword is a horizontal cut.
Gamaken raised the sword, and the metal collided with the wood, making a muffled sound. The force was quite strong, and Gamaken had some idea in his mind that this guy was pretty strong.
"Yes, I have strong hands. But swordsmanship does not require strength." Gamaken casually pushed the wooden sword away and struck back with the sword. The speed was not fast, and he stopped at the touch.
Senju Chen stepped aside and passed without moving his feet.
Gamaken nodded with satisfaction. "The response is okay."
The third sword.
Senju Chen changed the number of channels.
This sword did not go straight. The wooden sword moved from bottom to top, moving in an arc. Halfway through, the sword suddenly changed direction, from an arc to a straight thrust, heading straight for Gamaken's throat.
Gamaken's eyelids twitched.
It tilted its neck back, and the tip of the sword passed in front of its chin, missing it by less than an inch.
"Huh?"
Gamaken took a serious look at Senju Chen for the first time.
The timing of the change of direction of the sword just now was very accurate. The arc itself was a feint, and the real killing move was hidden in the straight thrust after the change of direction. This is not something that a novice in kendo can do.
"Three moves passed." Senju Chen said.
Gamaken pointed his sword forward. "Continue."
His tone was no longer that of giving instructions to the younger generation.
Senju Chen You're welcome, the wooden sword comes out again.
This time, he used the knife technique of the Hatake Clan.
Hatake Clan's set of swordsmanship focuses on assassination. It pays attention to being fast, accurate, and ruthless. It is not fancy or sloppy, and every sword is aimed at the vital point. Gamaken obviously feels that Senju Chen's wooden sword has more ruthlessness this time.
Three swords in a row, swords and swords are not repeated, and the swords and swords travel the shortest distance.
Gamaken was forced to take two steps back.
It finally put away its condescending expression.
This guy's sword is not fancy, but the path of each sword is calculated, the attack angle is tricky, and the speed is increasing.
"It's interesting, come again." Gamaken sank down and started to take it seriously.
Its swordsmanship has also changed.
Mount Myōboku's swordsmanship is different from that of humans. Toad's body structure determines that their swordsmanship pays more attention to jumping and diving, and the attack range is extremely large. Gamaken jumps three meters high, and the long sword slashes from top to bottom, carrying the weight of the entire body.
Senju Chen did not take a hard hit, but moved two steps sideways. The moment the sword tip hit the ground, the wooden sword swept across Gamaken's wrist.
Gamaken let go and changed his grip, blocking the sweep forcefully.
The distance between the two people was reduced to within an arm's length.
Senju Chen changed his tactics again.
This time I used Konoha flow·liu from Maruboshi Kosuke.
The essence of Liu is to take advantage of the situation and borrow strength. The greater the opponent's strength, the more strength he can borrow. Gamaken is big and powerful, which happens to be Liu's favorite type of opponent with this swordsmanship.
Gamaken slashed down with his sword. Senju Chen's wooden sword slid up against the opponent's sword, and the force pushed Gamaken's sword to the side half a foot. Then he flipped his wrist and pointed the tip of the sword towards Gamaken's shoulder.
Gamaken was stunned for a moment.
The opponent's sword technique changed again, and it had never seen this kind of sword technique before.
It was obviously using force to fight, but the timing of the switch was so precise that there was almost no gap between the resolution and the counterattack.
It twisted away and took a step back.
Looking at Senju Chen again, this kid didn't even sweat on his face, and he was still carrying the wooden sword loosely, as if he was taking a walk.
Gamaken is starting to feel a little uncomfortable.
It has lived for hundreds of years, and Mount Myōboku ranks among the top three in swordsmanship. Just now it was forced to take two steps back by a human kid.
Is this really true? The main reason is that there are so many little Toad around us watching.
So Gamaken no longer held back his hand, and his sword speed suddenly increased.
Five consecutive sword blows, each with a scream that broke through the air, causing the surrounding gravel to fly in random directions.
Senju Chen took a few steps back, but each step was taken very steadily. The blocking position of the wooden sword was extremely precise - not too early and not too late, just blocking the most vicious part of the sword's edge.
Gamaken hits harder and harder.
Because it has discovered a fatal problem: this kid is actually adapting to his own rhythm.
In the first few blows, Senju Chen still needed to retreat to buffer. By the fourth blow, he stopped retreating. On the fifth blow, he even took half a step forward.
Senju Chen is actually planning something else in his mind.
While he was beating, he observed the changes in Gamaken's expression.
Gamaken's breathing has become thicker, his eyes are widened, and the snoring in his mouth is getting louder - this is because he is getting emotional.
Almost there.
Senju Chen suddenly changed his moves.
He combined the sharpness of the Hatake Clan's sword skills, the suppleness of Konoha's flow and Liu, and the theory of "introduction failed" in the Tai Chi of his previous life.
The sword's path was ridiculously weird.
The wooden sword first walked half an arc to the left. When Gamaken was about to block the left side, the sword suddenly sank, passed around from below, and finally appeared next to Gamaken's neck from the right.
Gamaken was completely frozen for half a second.
By the time it reacted, the tip of the wooden sword was already on its neck.
The surroundings were quiet for a moment.
The mouths of the little Toads watching nearby were all open and did not close for a long time.
Gamaken looked down at the wooden sword beside his neck, then looked up at Senju Chen.
Its expression is very complex.
"You... who did you learn this swordsmanship from?"
Senju Chen put down the wooden sword and said politely, "Learn a little from the East, a little from the West, and put it together to make the seniors laugh."
Gamaken took a deep breath.
Patchwork?
You call this patchwork?
It has practiced swordsmanship for hundreds of years, and just now it was tapped on the neck by a human with a wooden sword. The key point was that the opponent said it was pieced together. Doesn't this mean it is self-taught?
Gamaken The air in his chest was rising up and down.
[Ding! The target creature 'Mount Myōboku Gamaken' has been detected to have violent mood swings, its thoughts have been strongly impacted, and the list of stealable abilities has been refreshed!]
[A: Swordsmanship Mastery]
[B: Chakra Blade Attachment]
[C: Combat Intuition]
Senju Chen was secretly happy.
Done!
