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

"I heard that his swordsmanship is very strong. With his swordsmanship alone, he defeated a group of genin who were powerless to fight back!"

"Dozens of Chunin have also been defeated!"

"This guy is amazing. He hasn't even graduated from school yet, but he's already able to fight real ninjas and easily defeated nearly a hundred of them!"

It seems that news of yesterday's events has already reached the school!

"Shigure-kun! Good morning!"

Ino's voice came from behind.

Shigure turned to Ino and said, "Good morning!"

Ino looked at Shigure and asked, "Shigure-kun, did you really challenge over a hundred ninjas all by yourself yesterday?"

"what!"

Shiyu did not deny it.

"I never knew you were this strong!"

I don't know when Shikamaru appeared.

And his gaze toward Shigure became exceptionally solemn.

Choji chimed in, "Yeah! Shigure-kun, your swordsmanship is so amazing, why didn't you use it before?"

Shi Yu smiled and said, "Swordsmanship isn't a subject that's tested in school, so why would I need to use it!"

This explanation seems reasonable, but Shigure's performance in regular physical skills tests wasn't particularly good either.

Is there really such a big difference between swordsmanship and physical skills?

"You really defeated hundreds of ninjas? You're not just bragging, are you?!"

The voice belonged to Kiba Inuzuka. Kiba was somewhat familiar with Shigure, but not as close as he was with Shikamaru and the others.

Shigure did not respond to Kiba Inuzuka's question.

Shino, standing to the side, was secretly watching Shigure.

"Rumors may not be true, but they may not be false either!"

"Shigure must indeed have some unique talents!"

Hinata and Sakura also gathered around. Although they didn't express any opinions, the way they looked at Shigure was different from before.

At that moment, another hurried figure emerged directly from the crowd.

He grabbed Shigure by both shoulders.

"Shigure! You've secretly gotten stronger too!"

"Damn it, you have such amazing swordsmanship, can you teach me? Defeating over a hundred ninjas by yourself, that's incredible!"

This person was none other than Naruto.

Naruto always thought that Shigure was just like him, a loser, only that Shigure was a little better than him.

But now he suddenly realizes that the guy who was always so close to him is actually a formidable person.

This was hard for Naruto to accept.

Shiyu has not yet answered.

Just then, Sasuke suddenly walked by.

"Tch! Just a bunch of genin. At that age, they can't even be promoted to chunin. They're just some discarded guys!"

"What's so great about beating them!"

Sasuke was very unconvinced and believed that if Shigure could do it, he could do it too.

He's just an ordinary guy.

fencing!

Hmph! That kind of thing is a piece of cake for ninjas, isn't it?

Sasuke looked at Shigure, wanting Shigure to speak so he could challenge him again, defeat him, and prove that he could do the same.

But Shiyu smiled in response.

"It was nothing to begin with, it's just that the rumors have been exaggerated!"

"It's not what you imagine at all!"

Upon hearing Shigure's words, Sasuke snorted coldly again and walked away.

The other classmates also thought that Shigure was not as terrifying as rumored.

They probably only defeated a few ordinary genin.

However, Shikamaru smiled helplessly in the crowd.

If he hadn't been bored and forced to train yesterday, he wouldn't have gone to the Konoha training ground and witnessed that scene firsthand.

He probably actually believes it now.

Yesterday's arrogant attitude and today's humility are like two completely different people.

His swordsmanship was so exquisite that even Shikamaru felt that if he were to fight Shigure, and if his Shadow Imitation Technique failed, he would definitely not be a match for him.

Even a single move could defeat him.

Graduation is just around the corner, and although Shigure denies it now, everyone will soon realize the terrifying power this guy possesses!

This year's new monsters! It's not Sasuke anymore.

Chapter 40 Speed ​​is a crucial attribute

"It won't be long before you all graduate from the Ninja Academy!"

"I hope all students will make the most of this final time to study and practice diligently!"

After Iruka finished speaking in the classroom, he gave Shigure a special look.

Then he slowly said, "Alright, school's over now, go home!"

He left the ninja academy.

Shi Yu rushed home without stopping.

They took their ninja swords and arrived at the secret training base.

The Great Sage's calculations were complete. He filtered all the sword techniques from the three or four hundred sword technique scrolls from yesterday and incorporated them into his breathing.

The calculation is now complete.

Shiyu couldn't wait to have her first experience.

He wielded the ninja sword, breathing in it, and practiced each of the first to tenth moves one by one.

And the results this time were indeed beyond Shiyu's expectations.

The burst of power became even more terrifying, and the sword techniques also became more ruthless, not just in each move.

Shigure felt that his swordsmanship had improved to a higher level because of the hundreds of swordsmanship scrolls.

It can be said that Shigure can now be considered a grandmaster of swordsmanship.

There is no one else in Konoha whose swordsmanship is more terrifying than Shigure's.

With each sword technique analyzed, Shigure essentially mastered that sword technique perfectly.

Then, by using computational abilities to integrate so many sword techniques into one's breathing, one can imagine how terrifying the power would be.

Then, just rely on the continuous enhancement of Breath of Power from the passive skill bar.

It benefits from the effect of breathing.

If you equip two Shigures at the same time, you will gain two effects: no stamina consumption and no escape consumption.

Therefore, the best way for Shigure to continue to grow stronger is to master more ninjutsu.

but!

In terms of ninjutsu, Shigure has not yet had the opportunity to learn more.

Having visited the Konoha training grounds yesterday, no genin would dare to challenge Shigure again.

And they were just low-ranking ninjas; they only knew one or two ninjutsu.

Regular Chunin and Jonin training is not conducted on the training grounds.

However, you can take some time later to go to the Konoha training grounds to analyze the ninjutsu of Wind Release, Earth Release, and Lightning Release.

Finding a way to obtain the nature transformations of the five elemental chakra elements is certainly an option.

Now Shigure is going to develop another technique!

Speed ​​is a very important attribute, no matter what world you're in.

Just like when he fought against several Chunin before, if the opponents hadn't mastered the Body Flicker Technique, Shigure would have defeated them long ago.
