rock ninja log

A shuriken lightly hit the center of Minato's forehead with its handle. Minato was stunned for a moment, and then his hair exploded.

If it were an actual combat, a shuriken duel at close range, Minato would definitely be killed this time.

Looking at Uehara throwing shurikens around, looking at his incomprehensible smile, Minato muttered angrily and didn't know what he was cursing.

"This guy is not very fast, but he can always block all my attacks..." Panting heavily, Minato's shoulders kept shaking. It was more mental fatigue than physical exertion, just like Uehara.

As he said, ninjas don't just play house games. Even if the hilt of the shuriken hit him on the forehead, Minato still felt dizzy and almost fainted.

"I'm telling you Minato Oku, if you face a lot of enemies, you don't need to dodge all the attacks. After all, it takes too much chakra to dodge perfectly among too many attacks." He kept watching.

Minato jumped back and forth to avoid the threat of the iron marbles that bounced back and forth with random trajectories. Uehara couldn't help but shook his head and taught him. Minato's movements were very flexible, and the trajectory of the steel marbles bounced by his special ninja tool was blocked by him.

All of them were dodged. However, if you observe carefully, you will find that except for the two initial ejections that can crack the bricks of the city wall, as the kinetic energy decays, the next few ejections of steel marbles are no longer possible.

No matter how strong it is, you don't even need to dodge, and it won't hurt if it hits you.

"Why didn't you avoid it?" Minato looked at Uehara with contempt, "If I hadn't avoided it, I would have been attacked. I only attacked you once, but you attacked me three times. If this continues, I will definitely lose.

!" Minato looked like he had seen through your trick.

Uehara saw all Minato's little thoughts, and he continued to give instructions, "The competition is just a competition, but in actual combat, you have to observe Minato carefully enough. If you observe carefully, you will find that the elastic marbles have almost no power.

There’s nothing wrong with hitting, so going to great lengths to dodge not only wastes a lot of energy, but also delays the fighter’s opportunity, and even exposes a lot of flaws in the dodge process, do you understand?”

After hearing what Uehara said, Minato froze on the spot with his mouth open. The smaller one's yellow flash looked so cute and cute. His appearance was so funny that Uehara almost couldn't help but throw marbles into his mouth.

"Is there such a thing?" Minato opened his mouth in disbelief, "It's right not to dodge the attack..."

"But Jiraiya-sensei told me that I must keep moving quickly in battle so as to avoid the enemy's attacks." What Uehara said seemed to make sense, but Jiraiya-sensei was also not wrong. Minato looked at

Uehara, who looked like he was preaching, fell into thinking.

"And Minato, you should know, right, what is the most fatal flaw in the human body?"

"Heart, liver, spleen, kidney, brain, lungs, etc." As expected, Minato was right about these common sense things.

After Minato finished answering, Uehara looked at the broken arrows and the flying shurikens that fell on the ground. He was somewhat surprised. Compared with himself who had been tempered by countless battles, Minato who did not use ninjutsu could actually do this.

Make sure you don't fall behind at all.

You must know that Uehara's shuriken technique comes from the shuriken fuuma clan, and the level of shuriken technique is better than that of most ninjas. But at extremely close range, Minato's speed is unbelievable, and his flexibility is beyond imagination.

He perfectly dodged many of Uehara's attacks.

After performing his most powerful shuriken technique, Uehara was completely helpless as he was short of the Fuma shuriken that could cut a person in half.

"Now that we know the vulnerable parts of the body, it is very important to focus on defense during battle. Places like the heart and eyes are very important. It is okay to protect them well enough, but what I want to say is," said

Then, Uehara stretched out his hand, palm facing Minato, "Sometimes, fingers are more important than eyes and heart."

This is a very contradictory statement. How could the palm of the hand be more important than the heart, so Minato was confused again.

Uehara's palms are extremely well maintained, especially after he repaired his physical defects in the lake of Jinnin Village. This comes from the experience of Ueizumi Okanobu, the kendo master of the Iron Kingdom who can rival Mifune. As Uehara's

Swordsmanship teacher, Nobu Uizumioka, who wields the sword countless times every day, does not have calloused hands like ordinary samurai, but is as smooth as a baby. According to Nobu Ueizumioka's words, only in this way can he grasp the most sensitive touch of the knife and achieve the best results.

The highest state of Kenshin and Kazuichi.

Looking at Uehara's palm, Minato then looked at his rough skin and swollen bones and joints due to hard training. This was caused by exercising his strength and punching tree trunks with his fists. The gap appeared again. Minato threw away the bow and arrow and tried

He clenched his fists, and he discovered a problem that he had not discovered before. He wondered if it was because his palms had been permanently damaged. Not long after he clenched his palms, he felt soreness in his knuckles, and then he could no longer hold on and had to release his palms.

.

"Hey, Minato, this is for you." Uehara had already thrown many things at Minato. He completely treated Minato as a child. First it was marbles, and this time it was a pair of tactical gloves. In this era, Konoha ninjas did not have them yet.

How many people wear tactical gloves? Only some taijutsu ninjas wrap their arms with bandages to provide protection.

The gloves Uehara threw to Minato were almost identical to Kakashi's half-finger tactical gloves much later. They were made of black nylon fiber and had a solid metal plate inlaid on the back of the hand, which could be used to provide some protection. Kakashi in the original novel

During the duel between Cassie and Zabuza, she once hurriedly relied on the defensive ability of the gloves to block Zabuza's shuriken slashes.

Minato took the gloves that looked very delicate. Although they were a little too big, they probably fit well after a while. He looked at the gloves and then at Uehara with a warm smile. Minato's mood became more complicated.

"Thank you." Minato suddenly felt that bullying Uehara was a very boring thing, "If you are not sure and throw yourself off the cliff, we will become friends." Thinking of the experience of being thrown off the cliff by Uehara, Minato remembered it again.

His body couldn't help but tremble due to the fear of being dominated by snakes. "Our competition is now over. Let's talk about it later."

Friends? This word has a special meaning to Uehara. If it weren't for those friends whose names didn't even appear in the original work, they would have no fighting skills and no chakra skills. I don't know how many times they would have to die before they could be worthy of the cruel two in the ninja world.

Character.

"Minato, you haven't answered my question yet. In extreme circumstances, why are arms more important than the heart?"

"The heart will always be more important than the arms!" Minato yelled at Uamihara in dissatisfaction.
