Naruto: The Age of Ninja Swordsmen Begins from the Hidden Cloud Village.

Chapter 12: Moonlight Blade
Finally, the blade stopped one centimeter above Tian Cun Hao's head, almost touching his scalp.

"Whoosh..."

Tian Cun Hao was breathing heavily, sweat was coming out of his head, his face was a little red, his heartbeat was almost twice as fast as usual, and his arms holding the knife were trembling slightly.

This was a side effect of the previous outburst. Even though he had used his increased comprehension to raise his chakra control to the limit of what he could achieve at this stage, such a long period of high-intensity outburst still put a strain on his body, or even caused damage.

At the same time, Fukai's explosive power was too strong. Every collision was a severe test for his arms. He felt that the muscles in his arms were strained in many places.

"The teacher is too strong. Even when I used all my strength, the teacher didn't even take a single step back."

After taking a breath, Tamura Hao put the two swords into the sealing technique of the arm guard, and marveled at the power of this teacher.

The opponent was much stronger than him in both strength and speed. He didn't even use any ninjutsu just now. He simply used chakra to increase his body's strength and easily blocked his continuous attack.

He hit the opponent hundreds of times but failed to hurt him at all, and his subsequent counterattack was like a crushing defeat, forcing him to retreat again and again.

He is worthy of being a jonin who has mastered the art of ninjutsu, and he is also worthy of being the future Eight-Tails Jinchuriki.

Of course, the main reason is that he is too weak. His current combat power is probably similar to that of Rock Lee when he did not open the Eight Gates during the Chunin Exam in the original plot.

Moreover, he was just in an explosive state and couldn't sustain it for long. It took less than a minute from the start of the fight to the end.

Not even three minutes!

The main reason was that his chakra was exhausted, and he couldn't fight against Fukai with his physical fitness alone.

Fukai looked at the ninja sword whose blade was almost jagged and sighed inwardly, but was very satisfied with this student.

"The outburst you just made was very powerful, enough to fight against a Chunin who specializes in physical skills. It is rare to have such strength at the age of ten.

It is also wise to choose this long sword to make up for the lack of long-range attack of ninjutsu to a certain extent, especially when dealing with opponents like puppeteers who have mechanisms all over their bodies. It will be safer to fight like this."

It's no exaggeration to say that he is a genius to have such strength at the age of ten. If it weren't for the chakra amount that held him back, making it difficult for his initial burst to last, he would have the combat power of a real Chunin.

Of course, strength is only part of the evaluation of a ninja's professional title. What is more important for a Chunin is tactical command ability, which cannot be seen at present.

“I have put in many times more effort than ordinary people to achieve today’s results.”

Tian Cun Hao shook his head, feeling helpless about this. This was a difference in physical aptitude, and it was not something that could be improved through continuous efforts.

In this world, talent and aptitude determine the upper limit, while hard work only determines the lower limit.

Without the Otsutsuki bloodline, you are not qualified to become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki.

“You are too young now, and your physique has not yet fully developed, so you are not suitable for training in strength. In addition, your sword and sword techniques are mainly based on stabbing, supplemented by slashing, so you are more suitable for training in bursts of speed.

Later, I will teach you how to practice the changes in the properties of lightning attributes. After you have mastered it, you can use lightning chakra to stimulate your nerves and bones to increase your explosive speed.

Moreover, the stimulation of speed explosion puts much less load on the body than the explosion of strength, and is more suitable for your current age and body size.

Then comes actual combat. You have almost no actual combat experience. Although your sword skills are solid, they are relatively rigid. You need to go through a lot of actual combat to activate your sword skills."

Fukai gave some advice and made a general plan for the student's training in the future.

"I'm right, isn't it? Ah Hao is a rare genius."

At this time, a figure flashed beside the two of them, it was Ye Yueai.

Yeyue Ai arrived a long time ago and watched the entire fight between the two.

Although it was only a short minute, he was very interested and a little surprised.

He knew that this junior fellow was a genius, but he previously thought that his talent only lay in the research and development of weapons and ninja tools, or in other words, in his novel ideas.

But who would have thought that he was so talented in training and fighting. He saw the battle just now very clearly, and could clearly see that this junior brother was improving in actual combat. Even when facing Fukai who took the initiative to attack, his response became more and more fluent.

If the gap in strength wasn't so huge, and if his chakra wasn't exhausted, he might have been able to hold on for a while longer.

"Brother Yeyue!"

Tian Cun Hao greets Ye Yue Ai.

"Come on, I have prepared medicinal baths and medical ninjas for you."

Yeyue Ai put her arm around Tiancunhao's shoulders and led him out of the training ground.

This time I came here specifically to take this junior fellow apprentice to the medicinal bath.

Fukai also followed. He wanted to talk more with this student about his future training, especially to understand his thoughts on his future path.

……

"Isn't this medicinal bath a secret of the Yeyue clan?"

Coming to the three large barrels and looking at the liquid medicine inside, Fukai was shocked.

He used the Yeyue clan's body-refining medicinal bath, which was very effective for physical training and could also repair hidden injuries in the body.

But they only enjoyed it less than ten times, mainly because it was too expensive. One barrel cost one million taels. Even if their family had some wealth, they could not afford too many medicinal baths.

The most important thing is, this is the secret medicinal bath of the Yeyue clan. It has even been improved by the second generation who gathered the secret medicines inherited from many families in the Hidden Cloud Village. It is priceless and is the secret of the Yeyue clan and the Raikage lineage.

Now Yeyueai actually brought the child here to enjoy this kind of medicinal bath, which was very wrong.

"This is more advanced than the medicinal bath you enjoyed before. It is used by our Yeyue clan to temper hand knives. My father's Hell Stab was also trained with the help of this medicinal bath over the years."

Yeyueai said proudly that this kind of medicinal bath was the most perfect, and the previous full-body body refining method was just a simplified version.

However, this kind of medicinal bath is too expensive. Each of the three large barrels costs 10 million taels. In the past, they could only use small barrels to simply temper their palms, and then practice their Yeyue family's secret hand knife technique.

The core secret skill of their Yeyue family is to hone the family hand knife as sharp as lightning through the training of crushing body and bones. Only when it is used to display the level of thunder and lightning can Chiyowu be invincible.

Because of this, although Chiyo Mai's Thunder Cruelty Level Ninjutsu is only a C-level Ninjutsu, its power is not weaker than that of an S-level Ninjutsu, and it can even break through the defense of a tailed beast.

On this basis, my father developed a more powerful Hell Stab and suppressed the runaway Eight-Tails and Two-Tails many times.

And now he luxuriously used ten times the amount of medicinal bath, which was enough to temper his whole body.

"Ah Hao, this is our Yeyue family's secret medicine. The cost of one barrel of this kind of medicine is 10 million taels. Three barrels cost 30 million taels. Each bath can last for a month. You can do it once a month. Can you bear it?"

Turning his gaze to Tian Cun Hao, who was looking at the three barrels of liquid medicine with great enthusiasm, Ye Yue Ai hung his future welfare on this junior fellow apprentice.

This junior fellow is okay in other aspects, but his ability to make money is really outstanding.

The current income is already scary, and it will increase significantly in the future. It is only a matter of time before it surpasses the overall income of the village.

I came up with this crazy idea after discussing it with my father.

With the help of the junior brother's money ability, the strength of the three of them can be maximized, at least to improve their physical fitness.

In the past, due to limited financial resources, the Yeyue clan could only use this precious medicinal bath to temper their palms and practice heirloom hand swords, but now they can go a step further and temper the whole body.

When the body is tempered to the extreme, the power of the ninjutsu performed will be unimaginable.
