Under the hazy moonlight, the dark clouds that had accumulated all day are finally no longer restrained. The heavy snow fall fell like dandruff in the wind. And in a blink of an eye, Konoha was covered with a layer of white silver coat.
In the backyard, Tabako held a sword in her right hand, her expression is cold and serious, her eyes are bright and sharp, her short hair and shoulders are covered with snowflakes, but she stared straight at the figure five meters away without moving.
Kanpū was dragged out of the bedroom by Hayate, and he knew what he was going to face.
Prejudice is a big mountain.
If Kanpū has always been a person with poor talent in the eyes of others, then suddenly one day he becomes a Jōnin, possesses a large amount of Chakra, and also masters Konoha-Style Kenjutsu, it is bound to arouse others' suspicion!
But if Kanpū changes the others' impressions of him little by little, so that everyone agrees that he is a 'hardworking genius', then the prejudice will naturally cease to exist.
And if the prejudice disappears, then even if Kanpū takes out Wood Release, Sharingan, Byakugan and so on in the future, others will think that this is the result of Kanpū's hard work!
Of course, there has never been a lack of people who will slander or not agree with him.
Well, that's not a problem when you think about it!
As for the change, we must start from small things.
Kanpū took out the kunai presented by Shisui, and quietly looked at the Tabako, who is on the opposite side.
In the corridor, Inoue, Matsushita, Keiko, and Hayate, the four of them stared at the two of them closely, and after a while… Tabako and Kanpū turned into snowmen.
When Hayate couldn't help but want to complain, Kanpū and Tabako finally moved and quickly rushed towards each other at the same time.
Ding!!
With the sound of metal colliding, Kanpū's kunai and Tabako's sword collided with each other, and sparks splashed in an instant.
Without saying a word, Kanpū kicked Tabako between her legs.
Tabako's face remained unchanged, and she took out a kunai with her backhand and stabbed it three inches below Kanpū's navel.
Kanpū was horrified, he exerted a little force on his hand that held the kunai and bounched back with the help of Tabako's sword.
'So cruel!'
Cold sweat dripped from Kanpū's forehead.
'How shameless!'
Tabako stared at Kanpū with a green face, and her eyes became sharper and brighter.
It was half-minute confrontation. In the next instant, the two rushed to each other again.
Ding!
With the crisp metal colliding's sound, the two figures were causing the snow to fly around, and then rushed to each other again!
The heavy snow falling in the air also changed its trajectory with the vertical and horizontal directions of the two figures, suddenly turning to the left and then to the right.
Keiko, who is in the corridor, was very nervous. With her eyesight, she could only see the figures of the two vaguely, so she couldn't help but asked the old men next to her: "Uncle Inoue, Uncle Matsushita, how is it?"
"Well… how do I say it?" Inoue looked at Kanpū's figure in surprise, not knowing what to say for a while.
Fortunately, there is Matsushita next to him, and she heard him say: "Kanpū-chan's strength is a bit beyond our expectation."
"Big brother, sugoi!!!"
Hayate yelled from the side.
Ding!
With another metal colliding's sound, Tabako does not intend to stay like this with Kanpū for long.
She quietly formed hand seals: 'Shunshin no Jutsu!' (Body Flicker Technique)
In the next instant, Tabako's figure turned into a gust of wind and she disappeared.
There was a suffocating sound of wind in the air. In the eyes of ordinary person like Keiko, Tabako's figure has already completely disappeared, but in the eyes of Inoue and Matsushita, Tabako's movement trajectory can still be seen.
Matsushita's muscles are tense, in Body Flicker Technique, even a little mistake will be infinitely magnified due to the rapid increase of the speed. If Tabako misses, Matsushita must step up in advance to stop her.
However…
"What?"
"How is it possible?"
He saw Kanpū, who was still standing there just now, has also formed hand seals with his hands, and disappeared in the next instant.
Bang!
Amidst the loud sound of clashing, Kanpū and Tabako have already exchanged their positions.
"Body Flicker Technique, it's Body Flicker Technique!"
Hayate was so excited that he couldn't help himself, "Big brother, sugoi!!"
However, Tabako didn't show any signs of being shocked when she saw Kanpū used Body Flicker Technique, she just turned around silently, and then continued to attack with Body Flicker Technique!
What can Kanpū do? He can only hold on.
Bang!
Bang~ Bang~!
In the series of violent collisions, Kanpū kept using Body Flicker Technique, so his consumption of Chakra is also increasing. In contrast, Tabako became more and more courageous, with the speed boost from Body Flicker Technique, her sword gradually becomes slippery, tricky and weird. Kanpū's kunai just blocked her sword and then he saw her sword swipe through the kunai like catkins. In a series of sparks, like a light weight, it slashed through Kanpū's coat, leaving one after another ferocious and ugly scratches, Kanpū can even feel the stinging sensation of the cold sword touching his skin.
'So strong…'
Kanpū is helpless. His dynamic vision has clearly captured the trajectory of Tabako's sword, but his body and limbs are always one beat slower, and unable to keep up with Tabako's movements!
This kind of feeling, Kanpū has only felt it when fighting against Shisui.
Tabako has graduated for two years and is preparing to participate in Chunin Exams. However, Shisui is still a second-year student, so it can be said, as expected of Shisui!
Kanpū was distracted, and when she saw Kanpū was distracted, Tabako immediately seized the opportunity, and knocked the kunai in Kanpū's hand away with just one blow, and then put her sword across his neck.
In the next instant, Tabako retracted her sword and retreated.
"I lost."
Kanpū looked down at the scratches on his coat, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, 'Why does it feel that Tabako have the same virtue as Shisui? They all likes to scratch other people's clothes?'
"Kanpū, to be able to master Body Flicker Technique at your age, you are a genius." Tabako said softly.
"I prefer you to call me a hardworking genius!" Kanpū corrected.
Tabako smiled slightly and said nothing.
"Tabako's Kenjutsu is getting better and better." Inoue praised as he stared at Kanpū.
"How could that be, she still has a long way off." Matsushita also looked at Kanpū, and his expression could not be calmed for a long time, "It won't be too late to praise Tabako-chan when she masters Konoha-Style Kenjutsu's Secret Art."
Although the two old men were praising Tabako, their eyes never leave Kanpū.
In the battle just now, there is no doubt that Tabako crushed Kanpū, but the strength that Kanpū showed made the two old men…
Shocked, the Young Clan Head of Gekkō Clan, who is also the lowest ranking, actually showed such great strength!
They can't believe that the Young Clan Head who has mediocre talent to actually masters Body Flicker Technique!
The two old men were extremely shocked in their hearts.
"Kanpū-chan, are you okay?"
Seeing that the battle was over, Keiko hurriedly ran down to see Kanpū's condition. Seeing so many scratches on his coat, she was even more frightened. Fortunately, there was no blood, so she was a little relieved.
"I'm fine." Kanpū smiled and put away the kunai.
"Big brother, sugoi!!" Hayate also ran towards Kanpū, "Big brother, I also want to graduate early and learn Body Flicker Technique."
"I already said that you can't skip grades." Kanpū said seriously.
"But big brother himself is… so cunning." Hayate is not happy anymore. He is now eager to learn the Body Flicker Technique, and then go to fight with other people like his big brother.
"Kanpū-chan, we didn't expect that we all missed it."
Inoue smiled and said, "Although your talent in Kenjutsu is poor, but your talent in other aspects is very good!"
"Even for Genin, it is difficult to master Body Flicker Technique, Kanpū-chan, ganbatte!" Matsushita also encouraged.
Kanpū then said modestly: "Actually, I haven't completely mastered the Body Flicker Technique. My body cannot withstand that kind of speed for a long time."
"It's good to be able to recognize your own shortcomings, Kanpū-chan, you have to work harder to exercise your body, and you must not relax!" Inoue said solemnly, "Even if you can't inherit Konoha-Style Kenjutsu, you will definitely become an outstanding Shinobi in the future!"
"I know that my talent is not good, but I believe that diligence can make up make up for my weakness. As long as I keep training Konoha-Style Kenjutsu, one day in the future, I will be able to inherit Konoha-Style Kenjutsu!" Kanpū showed his character as hardworking genius, 'Then, as long as I was working hard at Wood Release, I will be able to use it too!'
The two old men glanced at each other, with a sense of gratification and a little helplessness in their eyes. If Konoha-Style Kenjutsu could be mastered with hard work, then the name of their Gekkō Clan would have spread throughout the Shinobi World long ago.
But Kanpū is so attentive, and the two old men were not good at pouring cold water on such enthusiasm. So, after a few vague sentences, they left with Tabako.
