(Part 2)(10,000 words)

At noon two days later, on the deck of the sailing ship "Foxfire" (named after Kyuubi).

Under the guidance of Yiyong, Gui Deng Shuiyue continued to practice the basic to the most basic steps of swinging the sword.

Ranmaru sat on the side of the boat, basking in the sun while giving a full-body massage to Kyuubi who was resting on his knees. While moving his fingers, he felt the gusts of sea breeze brushing against his hair and cheeks, which was very comfortable.

For him, this is still a completely new feeling——

In the past, Black Hoe Raiga was always worried about Ranmaru getting sick or being killed by other ninjas. He was by his side almost all the time, and the distance between the two of them was rarely more than 2 meters.

Although most of the time, this kind of close contact gives Ranmaru a sense of security, but it is always a lot of inconvenience to lie on another person's back and be hidden in a backpack like cargo, not to mention

This sense of powerlessness can continuously devastate a person's heart.

Now Ranmaru is sitting in a wheelchair. Although he still needs help from others for many things, he can maneuver the wheelchair by himself and can free his hands to do other things (such as petting the fox). This seemingly insignificant sense of autonomy makes him

I feel more powerful than before.

At least, he can actively control some things in his life, and can get along with and communicate with more creatures.

This means that he begins to accept the influence of more people and experience a variety of widely different values ​​​​and world views, which is very important for children of Ranmaru's age.

"You're lazy."

Giyuu's calm voice came from the mast, attracting Ranmaru's attention.

This was not meant for him.

"When the knife is raised to the highest point, your right shoulder will be one centimeter shorter, and the path of the knife will be offset."

After hearing the teacher's emotionless correction, Gui Deng Shuiyue, who was gritting his teeth and raising the wooden knife above his head, let out a groan.

He didn't have the extra energy to respond to Yiyong, but he still adjusted his movements according to the latter's wishes. His slightly tilted body immediately regained balance, and then he immediately swung the knife.

The whirring sound of the wooden sword as it cuts through the air is like a giant's breathing. Although it is not fast, it is very clear.

Ranmaru could tell that the sound and rhythm of each swing of Kito Suigetsu's sword were almost exactly the same, like a copy-pasted soundtrack, which was completely different from the chaotic sounds he made when he first started training two days ago.

Yiyong's calm voice came again: "That's it. There are 1,206 more times."

Gui Deng Shui Yue continued to sweat profusely.

precise!

This was the unique impression that Yiyong had on Kidensuizuki, and it was also his biggest gain from these two days of practice.

At the beginning, when Yiyong fine-tuned Suigetsu's movements - such as the height of his shoulders, the angle of his wrists and the distance of his steps, Suigetsu felt that the opponent was mechanically dogmatic, ignorant of flexibility, and perfectionistic. He was suspected of being mysterious and did not want to teach him.

His true skills are why he repeatedly dwells on these details.

But later results proved that a small detail change in the process of swinging the knife can bring about unexpected changes.

For example, by slightly raising the height of his shoulders, Kiden Suigetsu's upper limit of practicing sword swings increased by more than 2,000 times a day, greatly reducing the wear and tear on his joints.

Another example: the wrist is slightly buckled, the position where Gui Deng Shuiyue holds the sword moves downward by less than a fingernail, and the power of swinging the sword increases by at least 1/3.

He has learned how to use a sword from his elder brother Gui Deng Man Yue since he was a child. His understanding of sword skills was completely overturned by Yiyong.

In Yiyong, the knife is no longer a simple tool, but can be as precise as an arm or even a finger to an outrageous level. It is a real extension of the limbs!

Shuiyue was amazed and convinced by this kind of robot-like observation and calculation ability, so he no longer resisted when practicing, so he made rapid progress.

Except for the fact that towards the end of each training session, his movements would be slightly deformed due to physical fatigue, there was almost no need for Jiyong to remind him.

"That's it for the day's training."

After completing another 1,206 vertical chops, Gui Deng Shuiyue heard Yiyong's call to stop and immediately showed an expression of relief.

"That's great! My arms taste like lemon!"

He fell down with a thud.

Gui Deng Shuiyue's body hit the deck and trembled for a while like jelly blown by the wind, and then returned to its original state.

Another manifestation of Yiyong's precise calculation ability - he knows the physical limit of Suiyuki Kiden, so he always lets the latter step on this line to complete the training.

Under the influence of the transparent world, the loss and repair of Gui Deng Shuiyue's muscles, bones, lactic acid and even cells cannot be hidden from Yiyong's eyes. Therefore, he can always just consume Gui Deng Shuiyue's strong energy, but he does not

As for overtraining the opponent, it will only increase hidden injuries, thereby maximizing the benefits of training.

anyway.

Ghost Deng Shuiyue, who closed his eyes to recover his strength, was enjoying the comfort of the sea breeze taking away his sweat, but suddenly felt that the light was blocked.

He opened his eyes suddenly, only to find that Yiyong had unexpectedly come to him and was looking down at him quietly with his eyes like black holes, with a serious expression like an attending doctor inspecting a patient who disrespected the doctor's instructions.

"teacher?!"

Ghost Deng Shuiyue, who had always been timid, was so frightened that he slightly deformed. He stood up like a carp and hid behind the mast with a whooshing sound, looking at Yiyong cautiously.

There was no way, against the light and in the shadows, Yiyong looked like a corpse that had just crawled out of the grave, especially when he remained silent and motionless.

"Did I do something wrong?"

[This guy’s character is somewhat similar to the yellow-haired boy next to Tanjiro...]

Giyong stared at Suigetsu, and suddenly remembered that every time he talked to Nezuko, the mushroom head glared at him but didn't dare to come over.

[They are all very good at saying... maybe sleeping is more reliable than waking up? 】

"You did nothing wrong."

He didn't bother to correct the issue of address.

Yiyong was silent for a moment, and then he said dullly: "I have something and I want to ask you for advice."

"Me?" Gui Deng Shuiyue pointed to his nose in disbelief.

Yiyong nodded affirmatively.

【Can I give you some advice?】

Gui Deng Shui Yue rolled his eyes, and he really couldn't think of anything he could teach the teacher about.

Although he did not witness the battle between the opponent and Black Hoe Lei Ya, in terms of swordsmanship, Yiyong should not be much different from his elder brother, and maybe he would be stronger.

As for Ninjutsu, I don't know as much water escape as Giyuu does, let alone give me advice.

【Hey, wait? Water escape?】

Gui Deng Shui Yue was stunned for a moment, remembering the most valuable thing about himself, and asked doubtfully: "Teacher, do you want to learn the art of hydration?"

As soon as this idea appeared, it quickly spread in Gui Deng Shuiyue's mind.

Yes, yes!

If the teacher is interested in the art of water transformation, he can just use this art to exchange it with the opponent's sword art that can control water flow!

As for the "Family Secret Technique" that cannot be passed down to others, Gui Deng Shui Yue doesn't care. After all, it will take several years for him to practice the Water Transformation Technique to the level of his brother, but it is not as beneficial as a sword technique that can be used once he learns it.

He stared at Yiyong's somewhat surprised face, feeling that he might have guessed it right.

Thinking of the other party's poor bargaining ability, Gui Deng Shuiyue thought that as long as he made the water transformation technique more precious, he would be able to easily obtain that set of sword skills!

[Teacher, don’t blame me for being mean!]

However, Gui Deng Shui Yue had just made an expression that said, "This is a family technique, how can it be passed on to outsiders?" Before he could speak, Yi Yong spoke first.

"Did you say this? I've known it for a long time."

Yiyong stretched out his right arm and activated the two chakra properties of water and yang at the same time. The exposed part of the arm immediately became transparent, and then the material changed from flesh and blood to soft jelly, and the whole arm seemed to be covered with

It drooped as if the bones had been taken away.

Yiyong shook his hand again, and his arm immediately returned to its original shape.

"I just don't know what this technique is used for."

Because Kiden Suigetsu's hydration technique is at this level, and since Giyuu is using him as a reference, he can only achieve this level at best. At the moment, he can't think of any other functions of this technique besides being used to avoid damage when being beaten.

When Gui Deng Shui Yue saw this scene, his eyes widened and his mouth opened up with a barrage of questions.

"How did you do it? I probably didn't teach you, right? Did I say something to you in the dream?"

No wonder Gui Deng Shuiyue was so surprised. He had been living a hard life without being able to eat solid food since he was five years old. He had practiced day and night for four or five years before he could reach this level.

But when Yiyong saw him a few days ago, he didn't know anything about this technique. He definitely started practicing it after that day, but now he behaves not much different from him. Never mind.

No matter how he learned it, this efficiency is really beyond his understanding.

"It's just observation."

Yiyong had a perplexed expression on his face, saying, "I don't want to learn, but I can figure it out once I see it."

"I have learned medical ninjutsu. It is not difficult to combine the changes in the properties of water and yang."

The words "It's not difficult" knocked Gui Deng Shuiyue to the ground. He stared at Yiyong blankly for a while, and decided to skip this topic quickly to avoid jumping into the sea without thinking clearly.

"Then what you said you wanted to ask me for advice on is..."

Gui Deng Shui Yue now has no idea what else he deserves to be remembered about.

"I want to learn..."
To be continued...
