I'm in Konoha, and I have ten skill slots.

"Finally, some decent attacks have arrived!"

He raised his ninja sword, pointing it directly at the flames.

Shi Yu let out a soft breath!

The other ninjas, seeing Shigure still unable to dodge, all sneered inwardly.

'Didn't he realize what was happening? This kid's going to get what's coming to him!'

Breathing!

The First Form - Face Cut.

A knife!

The slash, cutting through the plane, cleaved the fireball in two.

A whooshing sound filled the air as the current swept through.

The moment the flames split apart, it was as if they had been extinguished by a stream of water.

The genin, who was actually using Fire Release ninjutsu, stood frozen in place.

He stared at Shi Yu in disbelief.

Someone actually managed to block ninjutsu with swordsmanship?

This guy... could he be a Jonin?

Perhaps only a Jonin could do something like that.

"Impossible! How could swordsmanship possibly block ninjutsu, especially from a brat who isn't even a ninja!"

"Come again!"

Shi Yu began to speak.

Hearing this made him even angrier.

The reason Shigure said that was because of the moment he split the fire-style ninjutsu.

The voice of the great sage rang in Shigure's ears.

[Calculation in progress]

[Estimated power increase of Breathing Sword Technique]

Destroying a Fire Release ninjutsu directly increased the calculation result by % , so Shigure naturally hoped he would come again.

And the more the better.

"Are you too scared to come? Or have you run out of chakra?"

Shi Yu asked.

However, the genin currently perceive these questions as mockery.

"Everyone, attack! Use ninjutsu! This brat is going too far! If this continues, we genin will be utterly disgraced!"

Yes!

If a bunch of low-ranking ninjas can't even take down a single brat who isn't even a ninja, then what right do they have to call themselves ninjas?

"Fire escape!"

"Tudun!"

"escape!"

Suddenly, all sorts of escape techniques appeared, and Shigure couldn't be happier.

"Fire Release: Fire Dragon Technique!"

Breathing, Type Two - Car!

Shigure, spinning instantly, slashed out a vertical ring formed by the flow of water with a single sword strike, easily annihilating the incoming flames from the center.

Even the genin who used ninjutsu had a small gash torn in his shoulder by Shigure's slash.

Almost at the same time, an attack came from behind.

"Earth Escape~The Earth Splits!"

Rocks suddenly shot up from the cracked ground and splashed towards Shigure.

Breath of the Breath, Form of the Unleashed - Tide of Strike!

The burst of multiple consecutive slashes shattered all the rocks.

Watching the flow of energy erupt the moment Shigure swung his ninja sword.

The genin were dumbfounded!

What... what kind of swordsmanship is this guy using?

This sword technique unleashes the power of elemental chakra—it's a sword technique never seen before!

Some of the lower-ranking ninja realized that this was no small matter.

This matter must be reported immediately.

However, the other genin, while surprised, continued to attack Shigure to save face.

They continuously launch ninjutsu attacks or taijutsu attacks.

One person faced the relentless attacks of nearly a hundred genin from the entire training ground.

Shi Yu, however, found joy in it.

because!

[Calculation in progress]

[Estimated power increase of Breathing Sword Technique]

……

[Estimated power increase of Breathing Sword Technique]

……

[Estimated power increase of 4% for Breathing Sword Technique]

The ever-increasing power of the Breathing Sword Technique naturally made Shigure very happy.

These guys aren't entirely useless, it seems.

It can help enhance the power of my breathing, which is great.

And now!

Moonlight Gale, who had just returned to the village, pushed open the door of Shigure's house.

"Is there no one?"

Shigure should be home from school by now, where did she go?

I wonder if Shiyu has been diligently practicing her swordsmanship these past few days.

Hayate will soon find out that Shigure is not only diligently practicing swordsmanship, but will also give him a big surprise.

Inside the Hokage's office.

The genin reported the training ground situation to the Third Hokage.

Hiruzen was still looking at the documents when he heard the other person say that Shigure used a peculiar swordsmanship that could unleash terrifying chakra power through swordsmanship.

Not only did he block all the attacks from the group of genin, he also single-handedly suppressed a group of genin.

Although he's only a genin, Shigure isn't even a ninja!

He's just a kid who didn't even graduate from ninja school.

"Is what you just said true?"

The genin nodded very seriously.

The third generation waved for the other party to go down first, and then took out his own crystal ball.

Using binoculars, they inspected the Konoha training grounds.

It's fine if you don't look, but once you do, even the third generation is dumbfounded.

Seeing Shigure facing a barrage of ninjutsu attacks, he swung his ninja sword, unleashing a powerful vortex that blocked all the surrounding attacks.

A little brat!

A ninja sword!

They were able to gain the upper hand even when surrounded by a hundred people.

A swordsmanship prodigy?

Recalling what Hayate had said before, that Shigure was a swordsmanship genius comparable to White Fang, Hiruzen now sees that he is more than just comparable to White Fang!

This is even better than White Teeth!

Even White Fang couldn't combine swordsmanship and escape techniques!
