Shenyue Xingyun shook his head and smiled bitterly.

These days, he has learned more about Uzuki Yugao.

His blunt way of expressing himself, his bare ankles and aggressive gaze, had consumed a lot of his energy and time over the past few days.

"Xi Yan, what made you decide to come here today?"

Uzuki Yugao looked up at him and asked, "What, is this not good?"

"There are mountains and rivers, and a statue of the First Hokage."

Shenyue Xingyun shook his head: "It's not bad."

"We've just been changing locations for the past few days."

"The back mountain, the Konoha training ground, your home... you've come here again today."

"Isn't it troublesome to keep changing locations? I think my yard is fine."

Uzuki Yugao's eyes flashed; "Oh dear, what do you know?"

"If we stay in one place, we might be discovered by Hongdou."

Shenyue Xingyun: "So what if we've been discovered? What's the big deal?"

"no!"

Uzuki Yugao said seriously, "Anyway, don't tell Anko about our matter yet."

"Alright, whatever you say."

Shenyue Xingyun didn't want to argue with the other party over such a trivial matter, so she leaned against the tree trunk behind her, enjoying the gentle breeze in the midday shade.

The scents of grass and river water mingled together, creating a pleasant and refreshing aroma.

If only the ninja world could always be this peaceful.

There was no fighting, no killing.

Cultivating oneself, eating, planting flowers...

Lost in her imagination, she heard Yugao Uzuki's voice.

"Nebula, your hands are so much bigger than mine!"

Chapter 51 The Strength of Moonlight Gale

Shenyue Xingyun: ...What terrible lines.

"Is there?"

"Of course."

"Look, your hand is a fingertip longer than mine."

"And your hands are very white too."

"She's as fair-skinned as a girl."

"Her nails were also neatly manicured."

As the other person spoke, Shingetsu Seiun felt his hand suddenly fall into theirs, and at the same time, he heard Uzuki Yugao's long exhale.

Ten minutes later.

Feeling that Uzuki Yugao had rested enough, Kamitsuki Seiun got up.

"We've rested enough, let's continue our sparring."

Uzuki Yugao pouted, took a breath, and agreed, "Alright then."

The two stood up, picked up their respective longswords, and began practicing again.

However, as she practiced, Uzuki Yugao noticed something was wrong!

Why does it feel like Shenyue Xingyun's swordsmanship has suddenly become much smoother and more fluid than before?

Is it just my imagination, or is it because I've been resting for too long and my body is sore?

What she didn't know was that this was the result of Shenyue Nebula's deliberate control.

Just now, the system gave a notification.

[Current Task: Friendly Senior (Completed)]

[Please select rewards: Greatsword Technique Lv1, Short Sword Technique Lv1, Leaf Style Sword Technique Lv1.]

Without much hesitation, Shingetsu Seiun chose the Konoha-ryu swordsmanship.

Although they were all at Level 1, as far as he knew, the upper limit of Konoha-ryu swordsmanship was far greater than that. In his memory, Uzuki Yugao, Gekko Hayate, and the deceased Second Hokage had all displayed considerable power in Konoha-ryu swordsmanship.

The entry for 'Konoha-ryu Swordsmanship (Lv1)' appeared next to the Taijutsu section of the panel information. At the same time, Uzuki Yugao's quest was refreshed.

[New Mission: Show Your Kindness to Your Senior (Fulfill the other person's gentle wish not to hurt their friend. Please spar 69 times without Mitarashi Anko noticing.)]

[Task Time Limit: 100 days.]

[Task Reward (Choose one): Physical Skill Upgrade Card Lv2, Swordsmanship Upgrade Card Lv2, Specialized Physical Skill Upgrade Card Lv2.]

"Ding ding ding ding!!!!"

Suppressing the effects of Konoha-ryu swordsmanship Lv1, Shingetsu Seiun wielded his sword with even greater vigor. If he hadn't reduced his strength, Uzuki Yugao would have felt overwhelmed.

Just as the two were engrossed in their practice, a sudden voice interrupted their movements.

"Evening Glory!"

What are you doing here?!

A slightly flustered voice came from behind them. Shingetsu Seiun and Uzuki Yugao turned around and saw Gekko Hayate rushing over.

Uzuki Yugao felt a moment of panic, but quickly regained her composure. As the moonlight and the gust of wind drew near, she spoke naturally.

"Swift Wind, what brings you here?"

"I'm sparring with Senior Nebula."

Moonlight Gale stopped in front of the two, glanced warily at Divine Moon Nebula, and then said in a slightly hurried voice, "Shall we spar?"

"Why did you come to such a remote place?"

"I've been looking for you for ages!"

Uzuki Yugao replied matter-of-factly, "Because it's very quiet here."

“When you’re cultivating, you’re rarely disturbed.”

That's true, it's sparsely populated and undisturbed.

It's perfect for young men and women to practice swordsmanship.

Uzuki Yugao then asked, "Why did you come to see me in such a hurry? Is there something you need?"

“I…” Moonlight Gale paused for a moment, then said, “My swordsmanship has improved rapidly recently, and I was thinking of exchanging ideas with you, Xiyan.”

"No need. Senior Xingyun's swordsmanship is excellent. It's enough for me to practice with him."

Moonlight Gale: "..."

Upon hearing Uzuki Yugao's words, Gekko Hayate felt a pang of pain in his heart and looked at Shingetsu Seiun with suspicion.

"Senior Nebula?"

"Is your swordsmanship very good?"

"I've heard quite a few legends about the seniors at school, but they don't seem to be very good at swordsmanship, do they?"

Shen Yue Xingyun said calmly, "Yes, I just started practicing recently, and I only know a little bit."

"Xiyan's swordsmanship is very good. I have also learned a lot from practicing with her."

Moonlight Gale then looked at Uzuki Yugao and said, "In that case, Yugao, Senior Nebula usually has to carry out missions and has a lot of things to do."

"How about I practice swordsmanship with you? I recently developed a new move that I can teach you."

In the past, Uzuki Yugao might have been somewhat interested, but now she only wanted to spar with Kamitsuki Seiun, so she simply refused.

"No."

Moonlight Gale looked hurt: "Why?"

"No reason. The senior is just being modest; his swordsmanship is very high."

"I think it's best to practice with seniors."

Moonlight Gale: "..."

He turned to look at the Divine Moon Nebula.

Is his swordsmanship really that good? Is it swordsmanship he uses with his face?!

Amidst intense vigilance and hostility, the boy in unrequited love finally couldn't hold back any longer.

"senior."

"Since Xiyan says your swordsmanship is excellent, I'm also very curious. How about we have a swordsmanship spar?"

"Perfect timing, I also have some questions about swordsmanship and would like to ask you for some guidance."

Shen Yue Xingyun frowned slightly.

It's always like this.

When he's with pretty girls, jealousy and rivalry are inevitable. Before, it was boys his own age who were vying for his attention, but now even girls a few years younger like Moonlight Gale are challenging him.

Before the system was activated, you all blocked me one by one. After the system was activated, you still challenge me?

"Senior, do you not dare to accept the challenge?" Moonlight Gale thought the other party had backed down, so he provoked him with his words while slowly drawing the long sword from his waist and holding the tip of the sword horizontally.

Shen Yue Xingyun relaxed his brow and slowly said, "Since you are so interested in swordsmanship, let's have a spar."

As he spoke, he took the longsword with his backhand. With a graceful movement, the longsword was held horizontally in front of him, and the look in his eyes instantly sharpened.

Uzuki Yugao's mouth slightly agape.

They are all just ordinary swordplay starting stances.
