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

[Host is learning a new skill. Active skill: Great Sage※ Activating]

Ok?

Has the active skill been activated?

Aren't these three active skills already damaged?

It can still be started?

[Active Skill: Great Sage ※ Applying to activate skill]

[Would you like to activate this, host?]

What kind of active skill is this, that it even requests activation on its own?

That's certainly proactive enough!

However, this skill doesn't allow you to see anything except the two characters "Da Xian" (Great Sage); everything else is just gibberish.

What is the effect of this active skill?

never mind!

Since it wants to start, let's try starting it.

'Turn on! '

[Active Skill Activation: Great Sage※]

[Warning: This skill has been damaged for unknown reasons and only possesses 30% of its original effect. The system is currently working to repair it...]

Haha! Thirty percent effectiveness?

Indeed, one shouldn't have too much hope.

It was activated, but the skill's effect is only 30% remaining. What use is it then?

[Analysis complete. Congratulations, host, you have acquired a new skill: Basic Swordsmanship]

ha?

Shi Yu was stunned.

What happened in just one second?

New skill?

Is this proactive skill meant to help you learn?

Suddenly, Shigure felt as if many basic sword techniques had appeared in his mind, and his body seemed to move involuntarily.

Hayate sighed, "Judging by this kid's current talent, he'll at best be a Chunin."

'Well, his parents weren't particularly talented to begin with, so it's normal that he doesn't have any talent himself!'

As he was thinking this, he suddenly saw Shigure swing his wooden sword and gently stab.

This stab occurred because Gekko Hayate was standing directly in front of Shigure.

From his perspective, all he could see was the tip of the wooden sword, aimed straight at him.

In that instant, Jifeng seemed to only see Shigure's wooden sword, and everything else seemed to be covered up.

Shigure's hand holding the sword now is completely different from before!

stable!

Extremely stable, frighteningly stable!

Although it was just basic swordsmanship, in Shigure's hands, each move was swift, and his body did not sway at all.

The wooden sword's slashes actually produced a faint gust of wind; if it were an iron sword, it would have already emitted a sword's cry.

Jifeng stood frozen in place.

"This this……"

Is this kid really only practicing swordsmanship for the second time?

When I was learning from others before, I didn't understand anything and was a complete novice.

How could it be that in just a few seconds, he seemed to have completely mastered the basic sword techniques?

It's even... it's almost too perfect.

In any case, he couldn't find any fault with him at all.

Is this kid a born swordsman? Such terrifying talent for swordsmanship is probably only found in the legendary White Fang of Konoha back then!

Upon thinking of this, Gale immediately smiled.

Are the spendthrifts finally about to rise to power?

"Hahahaha!"

"it is good!"

Suddenly, a gale roared and appeared directly in front of Shigure, grabbing her shoulders tightly with both hands.

"Shigure, you... were born for the sword..."

Still in a daze, Shigure was dumbfounded. What was Moonlight Gale doing?

Haven't I only mastered the basics of swordsmanship?

How come he acts like he's a genius!

"You only watched it once, yet you've mastered the basics of swordsmanship better than me!"

"Shiyu, with such talent, my Moonlight Clan might rise to prominence because of you!"

clam?

Is the basic swordsmanship I just mastered really that good?

Shigure didn't feel much, but it felt like she already knew all of these movements.

Moreover, the body has even developed muscle memory, making each move seem as simple as eating and drinking.

Is this the effect of the active skill, Great Sage※?

Shigure himself was starting to get excited.

This is only 30% of the effect. What would the effect be like if it were 100%?

With this active skill, even if it only has 30% of the effect, I can still become a so-called genius!

No! ! ! ! !

They must be even more terrifying than geniuses!

"Shigure, I'll now teach you the Leaf-style swordsmanship!"

Upon hearing this, Shi Yu paused for a moment, somewhat worried. Would the active skill still be able to be activated this time?

This skill is still broken!

But the Moonlight Gale has already begun.

"Watch closely, Konoha-ryu swordsmanship!"

"There are only ten moves in total, but if you master them, your close-combat ability will be greatly enhanced!"

[Testing]

[Host is learning a new skill, active skill: Great Sage ※ Applying for activation]

A glint suddenly flashed in Shi Yu's eyes—this was a sure thing!

Chapter 8 You Will Be the Second White Fang of Konoha

The Leaf Style swordsmanship does not include Hayate Gekko's Crescent Moon Dance, which should be considered a finishing move of the Leaf Style swordsmanship.

It needs to be used in conjunction with Shadow Clone Jutsu.

Shigure is just a kid who hasn't even graduated yet, so Gekko Hayate wouldn't even consider teaching him the Shadow Clone Technique!

The Shadow Clone Technique is a dangerous ninjutsu; if the user is not careful, they can get injured.

However, the ten forms of Konoha-ryu swordsmanship can be taught to Shigure.

At the same time, Hayate was also testing Shigure's talent in swordsmanship and making a second confirmation.
