Chapter 312 A Shout
In the Ninja Hospital, Taichi, who had been bandaged, was lying on the bed waiting for notification from the medical ninja to see if he needed to be hospitalized.
However, according to Shilang, it is not necessary, because the target he locked onto when he drew his sword has avoided Taiyi's vital points, and Shilang has a strong control over Wuming's three-stage thrust, so the stab will not go off target.
But to be on the safe side, Shiro and the others still asked the medical ninja to check it carefully.
At this time, Taiyi, who had some free time, frowned and asked curiously, "Shilang, I still don't understand what happened to your sword. I should have blocked it."
Shiro smiled and said, "Your feeling is correct. You did block it, but it was only the first sword attack. You missed the next two sword attacks."
"What do you mean? The Thunder God Armor should be a long-lasting defense, right? Even if you have another one behind you, it should be able to block it, just like your sword Swallow Return."
"Well, how should I put it? I can't describe it in detail, but the situation of that sword is similar to the Swallow Return. The difference is that the Swallow Return is in three directions at the same time."
"Wu Ming is three swords attacking at the same position at the same time. Therefore, you can only block one sword. It is a sword move that ignores defense."
"Sword moves? Not ninjutsu?" At this time, Souji, who was listening on the side, noticed this keenly and asked immediately. After all, this involved his future path.
Shiro didn't care. It was normal for a ten-year-old child to panic in something he cared about.
"Well, this is a pure sword technique. It doesn't involve ninjutsu. It's a sophisticated sword technique."
"Can swordsmanship be so powerful?" Souji said softly while looking at the sword hanging at his waist.
Shiro glanced at Souji, who was full of expectations, and thought that he should give him a blow to make him face reality. It is not so easy to develop swordsmanship at the level of a Noble Phantasm.
It would be a tragedy if you dive in and can't get out.
"General."
"Ah? What's wrong, Mr. Emiya?" After hearing Shiro's voice, Souji hurriedly woke up from his fantasy. Seeing that they were all looking at him, his face blushed slightly.
"Soji, you must be envious of this kind of swordsmanship, right? Do you want to develop in this direction?"
"Teacher, you're too kind. I can't do it."
"to be honest."
“.”
Souji was silent for a moment, then took a deep breath, looked at Shirou and said firmly: "Yes, Emiya-sensei, I want to do this! I like swordsmanship, and swordsmanship is the only choice for me!"
"So, I hope to learn this powerful sword technique!"
After hearing Souji's determination, Shiro smiled and said seriously, "That's good. I will support you. Everyone should have their own dreams. This is great. I fully support it!"
Hearing Shiro's words, Souji immediately smiled, but unfortunately, it didn't last long.
"I think this is what you want to hear from me, right? Of course, it's also what other teachers would say in this situation."
The smile that had just appeared on Souji's face froze. With the remaining smile, he looked at Shiro and asked bitterly, "Why?"
"Because I am your teacher, I must be responsible for you."
"Yes, Yan Fan and Wu Ming are very strong, but do you know how difficult it is to reach this level?"
"To reach that level of swordsmanship, there are only two ways. One is talent, unparalleled talent. Do you think you have it?"
“.”
"The second method is combat. With your aptitude, once you have mastered the art, you could fight hundreds of thousands of times with dozens of sword masters. Perhaps you would have the opportunity to reach this realm."
"Unfortunately, there are only a handful of people in the ninja world who can be called sword masters, less than a palm's worth."
After saying that, Shiro quietly watched Souji thinking. He was doing this for Souji's own good.
If the goals are set too ambitiously, it is easy to lose direction, ignore one's own insignificant progress every day, and become depressed.
Moreover, what Shiro said was true. Neither of these two methods was reliable. Currently, there were probably only a few swordsmen in the Iron Country in the ninja world.
As for the others, like Hanzo, Shiro had never fought with them, so he wasn't too sure, but that shouldn't count, as Hanzo had some very impressive ninjutsu.
Fighting is mostly done using ninja methods, and they are not considered swordsmen. After all, swordsmen have their own persistence, and basically they all have the spirit of "even if I am an assassin, I will face it head-on with swordsmanship!"
Hanzo has learned a lot, but this is just Shiro's guess, after all, they have never really fought each other.
At this time, Shiro looked at Souji, whose mood had become depressed, and felt that it was time to enlighten him. He couldn't really let him down.
"Soji, what's your purpose in learning swordsmanship? Besides the love for it."
"Become stronger!" Souji had no hesitation about this answer. After all, this was indeed the reason why he insisted on practicing swordsmanship. In the ninja world, strength is the final word.
If swordsmanship could not improve his strength, then even if Souji loved it, he would not choose to major in it.
"So what do you think of my strength?"
"Emiya-sensei is naturally very strong."
"Then, if I say that I haven't reached the level of a swordsman, would you believe me?"
"How could that be? Emiya-sensei's swordsmanship is so strong!"
"Well, although I'm embarrassed, that's definitely not my swordsmanship. I used some secret technique to achieve that effect. How could a playboy like me possibly master that kind of swordsmanship?"
"However, even though I only have this level of swordsmanship, with the support of ninjutsu, I still possess the strength of a jonin, and this is far from my limit."
"My master is also strong in swordsmanship, but he is still not a master swordsman. However, with his combined ninjutsu, the name of Konoha White Fang is resounding throughout the ninja world!"
"I'm not saying this to show off to you, I just want you to understand that combining ninjutsu with swordsmanship can dramatically change your strength."
"There's no need to force yourself to reach the realm of a swordsman. After all, that path is too difficult."
"Besides, you don't have to worry about ninjutsu. You passed my test."
"Hmm?" Souji was slightly taken aback, then he remembered Shiro's promise, and then he bowed to Shiro excitedly, "Thank you, teacher!"
"Now it finally looks like something."
Apparently, someone has forgotten who caused Souji's recent depression.
"Is this why you picked a fight with me today?"
'Yes, there are some.'
"You are a very competent teacher."
"Of course, we can't let them call us teacher in vain, right?"
"Let's not talk about this anymore. What you said on the way, is it true?"
"Of course, do you think I really didn't do anything in the past few years? My teacher is the White Fang of Konoha. How could his mission fail so easily?"
"I see. It seems you are convinced that he is your target. I stand on your side, but we still need to discuss it with the clan. I cannot represent him."
"I understand. By the way, be careful with the telescope."
'Don't worry, we know.'
Shiro and Taichi's secret conversation went unnoticed by Souji and the others, who were immersed in gratitude towards Shiro. Of course, the old man behind the crystal ball in the distance also didn't notice it.
