Gui Deng Shuiyue kept rubbing it with his fingers, carefully feeling the cut of the broken knife, his expression changing like water gradually heating——
This face changed from disappointment and regret at the beginning, to doubt and curiosity, and then turned into excitement like a child discovering a new toy, and then became more and more intense.
"Teacher, how did you do it?"
He pointed the cross section of the knife at Yiyong.
"The feel of this section does not look like it was broken with great force, otherwise it would not be so smooth. According to theory, your tattered chakra knife should be far inferior to the Thunder Knife and Thunder Fang Cai in terms of strength.
Right."
It's incredible.
The seven ninja swords of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen are the greatest wealth of Kirigakure Village. Each one is worth tens of millions individually, and its quality is evident.
Among them, the Thunder Sword and Thunder Fang are chakra weapons specially used to guide and amplify lightning. They must be able to withstand extremely high temperatures, so their hardness is also the first to bear the brunt, but now it looks like this.
So Gui Deng Shui Yue cannot but be curious.
"I'm not your teacher."
Yiyong didn't know how many times he emphasized this.
However, after stressing, he still patiently answered Gui Deng Shuiyue's doubts.
He stretched out his right hand, put his index and middle fingers together, and a transparent water blade with an edge that was rolling like a chain saw suddenly appeared and made a hissing sound.
Guideng Shuiyue seemed to understand something, and immediately handed the half of the thunder blade with the handle towards the water blade, and then he saw as expected -
The edge of the water blade rolling at high speed actually slowly cut into the blade surface of the Thunder Fang, and kept making a harsh hiss, as if the broken knife was wailing in pain.
During the battle last night, the Black Hoe Thunder Fang, which could use the weather to perform large-scale thunder escape, did cause a lot of trouble for Yiyong at first.
But with the expansion of the final form of Water Breathing, Nagi, no matter how powerful the Thunderbolt is when it hits Giyuu, it will only be decomposed into chakra to replenish himself.
In desperation, Black Hoe Lei Ya had no choice but to fight in close combat with Yiyu, but his ninja sword skills were really terrible.
The two of them fought less than three times, and he could only barely defend himself by raising his two swords. It was at that time that the Thunder Sword and Thunder Fang were cut (sawed) in pieces because of their resistance to Giyuu's water blade.
The next second, Black Hoe Lei Ya lost his life.
Back to the present.
Seeing the scene in front of him, Gui Deng Shuiyue dropped Lei Ya on the ground like throwing away garbage, pointed at Yiyong's right hand and said loudly: "Teacher, I want to learn this!"
As long as he thinks of his desperate expression when he fights with others and his opponent's weapon is destroyed, Gui Deng Shui Yue feels a sense of joy for no reason.
One day ago, his dream was to master the seven ninja swords like his brother Ghost Man Yue, and learn various cool techniques for dismantling the enemy's body.
But now——
"When I learn this technique, I must use it to destroy all seven ninja swords! In this way, Kirigakure's most precious inherited treasure will be cut off! This is what I should cut off!"
Gui Deng Shui Yue used all four legs to crawl up to Yi Yong, with a smile on his face, as if he was about to give the latter a shoulder massage.
"Teacher! I don't want this sword anymore. I don't know how to use lightning escape anyway. Why don't you keep it in exchange for money! But as a reward for your disciple, how about you teach me this technique? I won't do it again until I learn it.
I’m pestering you to learn other things.”
"You guys really have no dignity at all..."
Kyuubi, who was lying on Giyuu's head, looked at Suigetsu and complained.
Gui Deng Shui Yue waved his hands indifferently: "In this world, strength is dignity! My eldest brother talks about this every day. A guy with only dignity cannot survive in Kirigakure Village!"
Yiyong looked at the water blade at his fingertips, then looked at Gui Deng Shuiyue's longing face, thought about it carefully, and finally nodded.
"This is a reward for your help before. It has nothing to do with the so-called 'disciple's gift'. In any case, I will not teach you my sword skills."
Yiyong emphasized again, "Our next journey is very dangerous. After teaching you this technique, you should leave!"
"Teacher, it's whatever you say."
Gui Deng Shui Yue received a satisfactory reply, with a warm face and an expression that said I won't be hurt no matter what you say.
"As for the ghost place in Kirigakure Village, how could you possibly find it without someone to lead the way? I will bring you, the teacher, all the way to Mizukage, and then watch you kill him, or be killed by him, as a disciple.
What I should do! As for the danger, my eldest brother sent me to Yunin Village just to help me avoid danger, but what happened? If you hadn’t appeared in time, teacher, I would have almost had my liver dug out and eaten...
After much deliberation, Kirigakure Village is safer!"
"..."
【It’s really easy to talk.】
Yiyong was speechless, and secretly envied Gui Deng Shuiyue's gift of chatterbox.
At this time, his mental exhaustion had already reached the critical point, and he didn't want to deal with this anymore, so he took out the "textbook" notes Itachi had prepared for him when he was learning water escape from the scroll, and took the first page from the loose-leaf buckle.
Come down.
"Since you insist on following, just teach yourself. If you don't learn, then ask me again."
"Oh!" Gui Deng Shuiyue happily took the piece of paper and glanced over it roughly.
The smooth font on the front is Uchiha Itachi's basic analysis of this technique, including the order and rhythm of the seals, as well as some knowledge of the nature and shape changes of chakra.
The printed font on the back is Yiyong's "homework" to learn. It includes the trajectory of this technique in the chakra meridians and the tips for changing its form.
All in all, regarding the principles and operation methods of Water Blade Slash, this paper is much clearer than the Second Hokage's Water Escape Scroll.
Even Gui Deng Suiyue didn't expect Yiyong to be so generous.
"Teacher! I will definitely learn this technique as soon as possible!"
[I hope you can spend more time...]
After doing all this, Yiyong resisted the urge to yawn, lifted the Kyuubi off his head, and placed it on the table.
"What are you doing?!" Kyuubi roared angrily.
Obviously I have just started to feel comfortable!
It feels like a human being is forcibly pulled out of a warm quilt in winter.
"It will take a while before the ship is built. I have to rest."
Yiyong explained expressionlessly, but with the deep dark circles under his eyes, he was particularly convincing, "If you have something you want to buy before you go to sea, hurry up and buy it."
With that said, he put the water escape notebook in his arms, then took off the storage scroll and rolled it towards Gui Deng Shui Yue.
"If you must go to the Kingdom of Water with us, just buy some supplies for me; as for the things you want to buy, consider them as reward."
Speaking of this, Yiyong suddenly remembered something and added: "Well, my twin brother likes to read little books. If there are any special comics here, please buy some for me, along with the other comics in the scroll.
Just put the books together."
Anyway, it's on my way, so let's just ask this kid. After all, he is about the same age as Sasuke, so he should know what kind of comics Sasuke likes.
"No problem! Guaranteed to complete the task!"
Gui Deng Shuiyue immediately patted his chest, with such force that his jelly-like body dented. "Teacher, leave everything to me! Please rest assured and rest!"
Yiyong was unable to refute, so he stood up and pulled the sliding door leading to the inner room and walked in, like an old father returning home in 1996.
Gui Deng Shui Yue had sharp eyes, and he immediately noticed that there was a person with purple hair lying on the floor in the back room. He should be the child rescued by the teacher from Black Hoe Lei Ya.
As the sliding door was closed, Gui Deng Shuiyue also retracted his sight, unfolded the scroll and poured out all the items classified as "books".
Gui Deng Shuiyue originally wanted to see if there were any villain books that he could refer to, but he didn't expect that he couldn't find the villain books, but instead he had many unexpected gains.
For example, the two books at the top, "Records of Major Events of Konoha's Hokages in the Past" and "Seals: Simplification and Efficiency", are written by Hiruzen Sarutobi and Tobirama Senju respectively.
Even if you are not a ninja, you all know these two most important names in the world, let alone Kiden Suigetsu.
"Oh, aren't these all school textbooks? The teacher is actually a student of Konoha Ninja School. No wonder he always says that he is not a ninja. I didn't expect that he is so good. He doesn't forget to review when he comes out to play. He is really hardworking."
Kyuubi jumped onto Suigetsu's shoulder, speechless at Giyuu's secrecy.
Anyone who sees these textbooks with obvious stances will guess that he is a student of Konoha Ninja School!
In this case, what is the use of the pseudonym "Tomioka Giyu"?
However, Kyuubi turned around and thought, these books were forced in by Sasuke in the first place, and maybe the limp-faced brat had forgotten about it a long time ago.
What a careless guy! On the contrary, Purgatory Anjuro looks carefree, but he is as considerate as a hair.
"Well, why is this book covered with a cover?"
Among the more than a dozen textbooks, a special existence suddenly caught Gui Deng Shuiyue's attention, "Is it the subject that the teacher treasures so much that he reads it often, so he wrapped the book cover?"
But as the cover was opened, Gui Deng Shuiyue's eyes suddenly lit up!
Kyuubi also showed an astonished expression!
Unexpected! Unexpected!
This little kid with facial paralysis who looks extremely serious actually hides this kind of adult magazine secretly! He even wraps it up in a book cover with a guilty conscience!
"Is this the teacher's hobby? No wonder he looks so mature. It turns out it's because he likes to read 'adult books'."
Gui Deng Shuiyue flipped through the book very quickly. It was obviously not the first time he had read this kind of thing, but he preferred to kill people and was not very interested in big sisters in swimsuits.
At this time, what flashed in his eyes was not the curiosity of a pre-pubescent boy about the opposite sex, but a special touch of cunning.
"You should never judge a person's preferences purely based on appearance. This is a wise saying.
"However, the standards of the magazines from the Fire Country are still too conservative. It's hard to get to Yunin Village, so how can we go back without bringing some specialties? When the teacher finds out the gift I prepared for him, he will definitely feel that he is being taken back.
Understand it! By that time, he might be moved and teach me everything!"
Thinking of this, Kiden Suigetsu didn't hesitate anymore. After putting the things away, he quickly left the room as if he was receiving a prize. Only his and Kyuubi's voices came through the crack in the door.
"Hey, where are you going now?"
"Of course I'm going to buy a collector's edition photo album of the major courtesans in Yunin Village!"
"Don't forget to wrap the book cover!"
"I know it without you having to tell me! How can I embarrass the teacher?"
…
At the same time, inside, Yiyong knew nothing about what was happening outside.
He pressed the bridge of his nose, slowly walked to the purple-haired boy with his eyes closed, and knelt down next to him like a corpse, his eyes scanning from top to bottom.
"You're awake." Yiyong was a little surprised.
The child's body is so weak that at first glance, there is no difference between being awake and sleeping.
Ranmaru, who had been exposed, opened his eyes. His originally cute face was as numb as a wooden sculpture, staring blankly at the ceiling.
"I just don't know how to face you."
Even though he said this, Ranmaru still turned his head: "I know you killed Lei Ya, but I don't hate you. Lei Ya and I both knew that this day would come sooner or later, but I didn't expect to kill him.
It’s not the fog ninja we’ve been worried about.”
Speaking of this, Ranmaru asked in confusion: "It's just that I don't understand, why don't you kill me too?"
"You are different." Yiyong replied expressionlessly, "The reason why I killed Black Hoe Lei Ya was because his thunder escape was too harmful. If we didn't kill him, more people would have been killed last night. I don't
I will kill you because you have no ability to harm others."
"Is that so?" Ranmaru lowered his eyelids in disappointment.
"It's just that if Lei Ya dies, I, a useless person, have neither a way nor a reason to live."
Having said this, he raised his eyes to look at the blade at Yiyong's waist. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Yiyong suddenly lying on the floor next to him without warning.
Two pairs of equally dull eyes exchanged glances like this.
"I know what you're going to say."
Giyuu said slowly: "Ten hours ago, a Kirigakure ninja named Taketori Katachi asked me to do the same thing."
Hearing this, Ranmaru's face turned slightly red: "Then did you agree to him?"
Yiyong did not answer, but felt an indescribable anger gradually overwhelming his exhausted body and spirit.
What kind of past could make a child less than ten years old burst out with such strong vitality when he begs for death?!
Is this also a manifestation of "living towards death"?
For the first time, lifeless actually sounded like a compliment.
"I'm so tired."
Yiyong felt dizzy, lying on his side and closing his eyes.
"Just like you, I now... don't have the strength to lift the knife anymore."
As silence fell, Yiyong quickly fell into a deep sleep.
Ranmaru froze in place.
For a long time, he struggled to support his upper body with his arms and reached out to grab the knife on Yiyong's waist.
However, when he stretched out his hand halfway, a gust of wind blew in through the gap in the window, and Ranmaru's delicate body suddenly shivered.
He retracted his hand, looked at Yiyong who didn't even make a breath, sighed, and slowly moved the quilt covering himself.
