Naruto: I, the villain template, was hailed as a savior.

Chapter 132 Yahiko's Muzan, Breath of the Sun (Seeking monthly votes!)

"Shall I 'spar' with that brat?"

Looking at Yun Chuan, who was smiling and nodding, Yi Long frowned somewhat reluctantly: "Are you really sure it's okay?"

He is over thirty years old this year and has been immersed in swordsmanship for more than ten years. All the techniques he has learned and used are killing techniques.

Even with a bamboo sword, it is still very dangerous.

In this situation, it would be contrary to his principles to let him bully a child.

"Don't worry, that kid's tough. Just go ahead and attack." Yun Chuan smiled nonchalantly. "Anyway, you're going to be their kendo teacher, so consider it as establishing their authority."

"However, he is someone I trained, and sometimes he surprises me. You'd better be careful."

Upon hearing this, Yoshitaka turned to look at the boy named Yahiko in the back row and found that the boy's face showed an eagerness that he could hardly contain.

As if he had encountered some once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, he had long wanted to find a chance to beat up the people of Amegakure. His thoughts were written all over his face without any attempt to hide them, making him look like a completely naive brat without any guile.

Why should we be wary of a guy like that?

Seeing the slight disdain that flashed in Yoshitaka's eyes, Yun Chuan smiled and silently stepped aside, walking to the front and standing in the background with his hands behind his back, giving the middle space to Yahiko and Yoshitaka.

Yahiko stepped out of the line, holding a bamboo sword, and finally stood in front of Yoshitaka.

"Kid." Yoshitaka's arm holding the bamboo sword hung naturally at his side, looking completely unmotivated. He simply looked down at Yahiko, who was much shorter than him, and said, "It will hurt a little for a while, but it will be over soon."

"Teacher Yoshitaka." Faced with his dismissive attitude, Yahiko simply smiled and said, "Oh, let me clarify beforehand, I call you teacher not out of respect, but simply out of courtesy. I hope you don't misunderstand."

"I've heard that the hierarchy in Amegakure is very strict, but since you're here, you'd better get rid of it as soon as possible. We won't obey you unconditionally just because you're old."

Upon hearing this, Yilong subconsciously raised his eyebrows, somewhat surprised by the brat's sharp tongue.

After all, it was a country founded by daimyo and samurai, and the respect for class privileges has not been abandoned; the strict hierarchical system has been passed down to this day.

The same sentence can be phrased differently depending on the occasion, the closeness of the relationship between the parties, or the superior-subordinate relationship.

A single sentence can be expressed in seven or eight different ways depending on the specific context.

However, this situation is not unique to the Land of Rain; even the Five Great Nations have some degree of this problem. This brat is clearly mocking him as an outsider.

After all, the atmosphere in this city is indeed different from that of Amegakure.

People are much closer to each other, and there are fewer outdated rules.

"Hmph." Yoshitaka narrowed his eyes slightly and sneered, "I hope your sword is as sharp as your mouth."

"You'll know once you try." Yahiko held his sword at mid-section, looking at him from three meters away. His expression gradually hardened, and his eyes were filled with calm. "I will treat you as a true enemy and kill you."

The students around them could see that the situation was gradually turning from a teaching dispute into a feud, but this atmosphere only made them more excited.

Everyone looked at the two opposing figures with expectant eyes, wondering how they would defeat each other fair and square.

Yun Chuan, standing in front of the crowd, glanced at Ya Yan's hands and feet and found no signs of trembling. He was neither nervous nor afraid, and his muscles were naturally relaxed, and his breathing was very steady and peaceful.

Hmm, you're in good shape, but...

"Is it that sharp?"

A smile appeared on Yoshitaka's lips. He held the bamboo sword at his side, then suddenly stood up straight, bowed at a ninety-degree angle, and said seriously, "I am Yoshitaka. Please guide me."

Seeing this, Yahiko, who had already assumed his stance, paused for a moment, but still lowered his bamboo sword and bowed in return, saying, "Please give me your guidance..."

Bang! !

Before Yahiko could even finish speaking, Yoshitaka acted without hesitation as Yahiko bowed down!

After taking a step, he unleashed his full power, shooting out like a crossbow bolt with such speed that everyone was astonished and unable to react.

Yoshitaka's speed, which completely disregarded martial ethics, exceeded everyone's expectations. Only a very few people saw the process of him going from zero speed to full speed.

In the blink of an eye, he shortened the distance of less than three meters to zero.

"You!" Yahiko only had time to raise his head, and in his eyes that widened instantly, he saw the bamboo sword that was being swung at him.

The killing intent emanating from Yoshitaka was so real and chilling, as if he were not holding a bamboo sword, but a sharpened blade that could easily cut a person in half.

boom! !

Yahiko frantically raised his bamboo sword to block in front of him, but the blow almost knocked it out of his hand, and his previously composed demeanor was completely disrupted.

"Kid, you're still too green."

Yoshitaka had no intention of giving Yahiko any time to adjust, and once again swung his bamboo sword with a chilling howling wind.

Kasaya Slash! Kasaya Slash! Reverse Kasaya Slash! Horizontal Slash!

Bang! Bang bang!!

After exploding from zero to full power in an instant, Yoshitaka surged towards Yahiko with overwhelming force, the sound of the bamboo sword exploding crisp and clear.

Once caught off guard, Yahiko could only struggle to defend himself, falling into Yoshitaka's rhythm and being forced to retreat step by step.

"Ah! Despicable! Shameless! How could they do this?!"

The astonished crowd then came to their senses, and the chubby boy, A-She, shouted indignantly, "That uncle actually lacked any sense of martial ethics and attacked a child who is only a few years old!"

The other children were also very angry, but before they could utter their curses, they suddenly heard Yun Chuan speak.

"It was Yahiko who said he would treat Yoshitaka-sensei as a true enemy and kill him."

Everyone instinctively looked over, only to see Yun Chuan shake his head and say, "The enemy won't bow to you, exchange names, or talk about martial ethics."

"Moreover, Yoshitaka-sensei's actions can be described as a preemptive attack, or as the 'three preemptive moves in Kendo'."

"Three Priorities" is an important tactical concept in Kendo, referring to the principles and guidelines for seizing the initiative in an attack.

In layman's terms, it means "the first to strike wins." In swordsmanship, when two armies clash, neither side gives way, and the "first" advantage is not easily obtained; it is something to be seized in the struggle for opportunity.

Therefore, "three firsts" actually means "seizing the opportunity first".

The so-called "three priorities" are "the first of the first", "the first of the first", and "the last of the first".

The phrase "先先之先" refers to "taking the initiative".

The first approach is like Yoshitaka's, which focuses on offense and preemptive strikes.

The second method is to launch your attack before your opponent makes a move.

The third type is to anticipate the opponent's moves and attack accordingly the moment they raise their sword. This technique targets the opponent's weaknesses and is the most demanding skill among the "three firsts".

This is the path Musashi chose for Amegakure. The core of the Musashi school has never changed: to achieve victory by any means necessary!

Yoshitaka used only the simplest method, yet it already put Yahiko at a disadvantage.

"this……"

After hearing Yun Chuan's explanation, everyone was speechless for a moment, and said dejectedly, "How could this happen?"

Meanwhile, under Yoshitaka's relentless onslaught, Yahiko's mind went almost blank, and his instinctive parrying finally failed him.

Bang! !

Without hesitation, Yoshitaka swung his bamboo sword and struck Yahiko's wrist hard, knocking the sword from his hand.

Upon feeling the numbness in his right hand, Yahiko's expression changed instantly, and he reached out with his left hand to grab the bamboo sword.

But the next moment, a chilling voice came.

"It's over, kid."

Yoshitaka showed no sign of stopping and punched Yahiko in the cheek.

Boom! !

Before his hands could react in time, Yahiko's cheeks trembled as if rippling.

Sweat splattered all over his face, as if he had been hit by a hammer and slammed heavily to the ground.

"hiss!"

Upon seeing this scene, everyone gasped, their faces burning with empathy, squinting their eyes in disbelief.

That's way too ruthless!

"call!"

Looking at Yahiko, whose head was only visible from behind, Yoshitaka let out a breath and looked up at Yunchuan with a respectful attitude, saying, "Lord Yunchuan, the outcome is decided."

Upon hearing this, Yun Chuan simply smiled and said, "Didn't I already say that?"

"That kid is tough and can take a beating."

Upon hearing this, Yilong was stunned for a moment. Before he could react, he suddenly heard a gust of wind.

Bang! !

Yahiko, who had been lying on the ground, rolled over, spun around on the ground, and kicked out, striking Yoshitaka directly in the groin.

The merciless force forced Yoshitaka back several steps.

Then, his originally straight back gradually bent down, and the expression on his face became somewhat ferocious.

"hiss!"

Seeing Yoshitaka bent over, clutching his groin, his face ashen, the previously dejected crowd gasped again, all looking at Yahiko, who was staggering to his feet, with horrified eyes.

You're even more ruthless than him!

"cough!"

Yahiko shook his somewhat dazed head and looked up at Yoshitaka, only to be met with a pair of angry eyes.

"You little bastard!" Yoshitaka gritted his teeth, sweat pouring down his face from the pain, and said hatefully, "You're really ruthless!"

"Isn't this what you taught me, 'Teacher Yoshitaka'?" Yahiko rubbed the large bump on his head, wincing in pain, and replied with a forced smile, "Warfare is based on deception! A true hero is one who doesn't use ruthlessness!"

Clearly, Yahiko and Yoshitaka were truly enraged, their eyes filled with a violent chill as they looked at each other, creating a somber atmosphere for everyone around them.

creak!

Yahiko lowered his center of gravity, his feet shifting and then he gripped the sword tightly once more, the one he had never loosened his grip on from beginning to end. His mind and aura gathered and solidified, ready to strike.

"One more time!" He concealed his anger in his eyes and in his blade, his aura becoming calm as he waited for his enemy to strike again.

"Then let's do it again!" Yoshitaka gradually straightened his body, his face still showing undisguised anger, and he lowered his body slightly while gripping the bamboo sword tightly.

He used to be the one tricking others, but today, he was tricked by a little brat!

The last person to hit him in the groin was that bastard from the Hatake family!

The two were of different ages, one older and one younger, one behind and one in front, one serious and one cheerful.

As it turns out, these two guys with thick eyebrows and big eyes were completely two-faced and utterly despicable bastards!

If I don't get my revenge today, I'll have trouble sleeping tonight!

Thinking of this, Yoshitaka's face twitched, and he growled, "Die!"

Bang! !

Because of his explosive speed, he seemed to be hiding in the dark shadows, slashing at Yahiko's neck with his sword!

Faced with such a swift attack, Yahiko's eyes were wide open like copper bells, his pupils clearly reflecting the figure. Even if someone splashed water on him, he would not close them for a moment!

Just as the distance between the two was about to become zero, Yahiko finally moved, choosing not to draw his sword but to quickly take a step back.

Huff!

The strong wind stirred up by the bamboo sword brushed past his nose, even causing a stinging sensation, and he could smell the scent of the bamboo sword.

He then lowered his body, holding the sword in one hand, and unleashed a horizontal slash with the force of splitting mountains and cleaving rocks!

"good!"

Yilong's pupils narrowed, and he loudly proclaimed a word of praise, his voice echoing throughout the classroom.

This is not mockery or provocation, but purely an appreciation of this strike!

Because the opponent's attack was a counterattack that seized the initiative, it had a certain charm of "being the first to act"!

Bang! Bang bang!!

Yoshitaka awkwardly bent over to dodge the horizontal slash, then immediately withdrew his bamboo sword to parry Yahiko's two swift attacks.

But this is only the beginning.

Kasaya slash, kasaya slash, reverse kasaya, horizontal slash...

The same moves were used, but the offensive and defensive sides reversed the outcome.

but,

Faced with Yahiko's relentless, tidal wave of attacks, Yoshitaka, now on the defensive, remained calm and composed, parrying and deflecting the bamboo swords with pinpoint accuracy, no matter how fast they moved.

He was even looking for an opportunity to counterattack and regain the initiative.

"..."

The children around them leaned forward, their eyes glued to every detail.

"call!"

Yahiko's breathing gradually became deeper, and his breath fell on Yoshitaka's face, even causing him a slight burning sensation.

Hidden beneath the breathing was a heartbeat, an unusually rapid heartbeat, like a lion trapped in a drum, roaring and wanting to break free!

Faster! Faster! Not enough! More power!

The kendo uniform, soaked with sweat, clung tightly to his skin, and his body seemed to be burning with blood at high speed, squeezing out every bit of strength as if grinding a millstone.

As the sweat dripped onto the bamboo sword, the whistling sound it produced was like a low roar!

Bang! !

"No! This force..."

Yoshitaka parried another attack, feeling the ever-growing power like a tidal wave, and his expression darkened slightly: "We can't delay any longer!"

I originally intended to use my stamina to wear down this brat, or wait for him to exhaust himself and reveal a weakness.

However, the brat grew stronger the more he fought, and the power and speed of his sword swings showed no signs of weakening!

He used to be able to handle it with ease, but now his arms and eyes feel sore.

If this continues, I'll be the one who gets dragged down!

Thinking of this, Yoshitaka's pupils narrowed and his muscles tensed.

But just then, a series of cracking sounds rang out.

"Whoosh! Sizzle!"

Yoshitaka looked up in astonishment, only to see hot white breath visibly emanating from Yahiko's tightly clenched teeth.

"Enough!" He gripped the hilt of the knife tightly with both hands, the bones cracking, and suddenly looked up at Yoshitaka, gritting his teeth, "I'm going to beat you to a pulp!"

Then, prove yourself!

The lungs contract violently to draw in enough oxygen, providing fuel for exercise.

The blood in the veins seemed to be truly burning, surging through the body and releasing terrifying energy!

Click! Crack! Bang!

Before Yoshitaka could react, Yahiko's figure transformed into a flowing line, and the ground beneath his feet shattered into a spiderweb-like pattern of cracks.

The next moment, when Yahiko reappeared, he was already in front of Yoshitaka.

"Sun Breathing, First Form!" He gritted his teeth, forcing down his trembling arms, and growled, "Wave Dance!"

call! !

Flames suddenly surged from the bamboo sword, radiating a scorching heat like the sun. The heatwave instantly filled the entire classroom, illuminating the dozens of astonished faces, as well as Yun Chuan standing in front of them.

Swordsmanship can be used like this?!

Why are you risking your life for a friendly spar?!

Yoshitaka, his face ashen, only had time to open his mouth before the scorching blade drew an almost perfect circle in the air and then mercilessly slashed down in front of him.

boom!!
