You Know Nothing About Pain

"Then I'll go and clean up your rooms." Seeing Naruto's agreement, Xuansheng Ichiro stood up and said, "The other rooms have been unoccupied and have accumulated a lot of dust. By the way, do you bring your own bedding? Here at night It's cold."

"There are some belts." Naruto said with a smile: "Let's clean up by ourselves. You have helped us so much, so it's not good to trouble you, the master."

"It's okay, you are my saviors." Xuansheng Ichiro quickly waved his hands and said, "It's nothing to help you."

Seeing Naruto and Xuansheng Ichiro start cleaning, Hase Ryusheng on the side also joined in.

Kyuubi twitched his lips and sat on the spot without moving. He was not very happy not to go to the hotel, but now he wants him to help clean up, dreaming!

While cleaning, Naruto cleaned up the dust on the ground, and said to Xuansheng Ichiro next to him: "Speaking of which, you seemed to say that the strongest samurai in the country of iron is that...is it called Mifune?" ?”

"Yeah." Xuansheng Ichiro said while sweeping the dust on the roof: "In addition to being the strongest warrior, he is also the titular leader of all the warriors in the Iron Kingdom, controlling everything in the Iron Kingdom."

"I see..." Naruto nodded thoughtfully, and then said meaningfully: "It must be difficult for ordinary people to meet him, right?"

"Of course it's difficult." Xuansheng Ichiro did not doubt him, and replied honestly: "Master Mifune usually lives in a castle in the inner city of the Iron Land. Most people don't even mention seeing him, even if you are close to the castle, you can see him." It can’t be done, there is a military restricted area within ten meters outside the castle, and if anyone enters without permission, they will be shot and killed by the soldiers on the castle with crossbows, and their death will be in vain.”

"If, as you said, it is difficult for outsiders to see Mifune-sama, then wouldn't it be a lot of missing talents?" Naruto thought for a while and said, "Didn't you say that it would be great if you could get the appreciation of Mifune-sama?" , if you can’t even meet face-to-face, how can you get the appreciation to join the so-called Mifune’s cronies?”

"If you want to join Mifune-sama's trusted troops, there are generally three ways."

The question Naruto asked is well-known in the Iron Country, and Ichiro Xuansheng didn't mean to hide it, so he said directly:

"The first is also the most important source. Every year, there will be a selection in various parts of the Iron Country. Children with better talents from all over the country will be selected to join the team for training. If they persist smoothly, they will naturally become members of Mifune's confidant army after they come out. One member, but there is an age limit for this route, and basically there is no chance if you fail once.

The second is the recommendation from several retainers trusted by Master Mifune. With the letters of recommendation from these people, after a meeting with Master Mifune, you can also directly enter into the trusted troops of Master Mifune.

The third one is also the most difficult and rare one, which is to have a relatively high reputation, so famous that it can reach the ears of Mifune-sama. At this time, Mifune-sama will take the initiative to summon you. If the meeting goes well, he will usually ask you at the end Do you want to be his retainer? "

After Xuansheng Ichiro finished speaking, Naruto touched his chin and said: "Then according to what you said, if a person wants to meet Mifune-sama and misses the age, it doesn't matter if he gets a letter of introduction, in the end he can only have a Accumulate fame little by little, hoping that one day your fame will reach Master Mifune's ears, have you been summoned by him?"

"It's like this, so now you know why I said that I was impossible." Xuansheng Ichiro sighed and said, "It is impossible for people like us who have no relationship and no skills to have any relationship with Mifune-sama. It’s impossible to get in touch with him, let alone join his cronies.”

"Accumulate fame..." Naruto said thoughtfully: "Suppose, suppose there is a person who wants to meet Mifune-sama through the third method, then theoretically the fastest way to accumulate fame is what?"

"Theoretically the fastest way to accumulate fame?" Xuansheng Ichiro was concentrating on cleaning at the moment, without thinking too much for a while, and replied subconsciously: "That must be kicking the hall."

"Kicking the gym?" Naruto showed interest on his face: "Explain in detail."

"It's nothing complicated, it's literally kicking the hall." Xuansheng Ichiro shrugged and said: "The capital of the Iron Kingdom is the most prosperous place in the country and the place with the most gymnasiums. As long as you pick a few well-known gyms and call them one by one, you will be famous immediately, but there will be a lot of troubles correspondingly, that is, the martial arts circle in the entire capital will regard you as a thorn in the side, and those who are Gyms you defeat will do everything possible to get back on the field, and gyms that are not challenged by you will plan ahead.”

"In the early days, there were indeed a few guys who thought they were good enough and came to the capital to challenge." Xuansheng Ichiro sighed and said: "But I heard that the most powerful guy just challenged three gyms. , Before he could wait for Master Mifune to meet him, he was picked off by people from the fourth gym and thrown out. I heard that he was revenged by the three gyms he defeated at the beginning. Now the bones are probably all taken by the wild The wolf chewed it up."

"Actually, this result is quite normal, and they don't even think about it. The capital city of the Iron Kingdom gathers the sword masters of the entire Iron Kingdom. How could they be defeated by a few of their foreign wild fox Zen." Xuansheng Ichiro shook his head and said: "Even if Someone relied on their own brute force to defeat several gymnasiums at once, but they won't be able to win the world for a while. When the Kendo world in the capital reacts, what awaits them is a stormy attack. All their battles will have dedicated You can figure out all your habits, and you can even figure out when you like to shoot your knife in that direction, how can you beat it.” “You still know this?” Naruto was a little surprised Looking at Xuansheng Ichiro, he said: "It seems that you have really considered this road before? Otherwise, how could you know such details."

"I just came to the capital before, and I didn't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth, so I thought about it for a while." When Naruto saw through his little thoughts, Xuansheng Ichiro scratched his face in embarrassment and said, "But when I collect relevant information It is really too difficult to completely give up after the information, and it is simply not something that normal people can do."

"It seems that the kendo world in the capital city of the Iron Country is very united." Naruto couldn't help laughing and said, "The swords are united to the outside world. Once there are foreign challengers, they will unite immediately."

"Cut, where are they united? I usually get into trouble because of various things. I don't know how many dirty things there are." Xuansheng Ichiro said with a curl of his lips: "It's just that if someone really breaks through all the gyms If this matter reaches the ears of Mifune-sama, the person who pierced them will be able to accept the interview of Mifune-sama, but their face will plummet, especially their status in the hearts of Mifune-sama. For this, they will definitely fight against each other .”

"Will you break through the world of kendo..." Hearing Xuansheng Ichiro's words, Naruto's mouth curled up an inexplicable smile and said, "Sounds really interesting..."

Seeing the smile on Naruto's face, Xuansheng Ichiro was stunned for a moment, and then a terrible guess suddenly appeared in his heart, and he couldn't care about cleaning immediately, he swallowed and looked at Naruto and said, "Naruto, can you Don't be impulsive, kicking the gym is not just a joke, it will really kill people."

"What's the matter, I'm still a ninja if I say that again, and fighting for my life is a daily routine for me." Naruto waved his hand and said, "Don't underestimate me."

After listening to Xuansheng Ichiro's explanation just now, an interesting plan gradually emerged in Naruto's mind.

Although he has made up his mind to observe Xuansheng Ichiro's life as a down-and-out samurai at close range, he is not ready to give up on testing the high-levels of the Iron Country, especially Mifune. If it's tough, he wants it all.

It is indeed a good idea to challenge the major martial arts gyms one by one. Not only can you observe and experience the abilities of the warriors of the Iron Kingdom at close range, but you can also take a look at the kendo world of the capital of the Iron Kingdom through this oppressive way. What is the reaction of the high-level samurai on the Internet when they are under pressure, and in the end they can directly contact Mifune, which is simply killing three birds with one stone.

Xuansheng Ichiro saw that Naruto was really serious about it, and panicked instantly, and hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade him, saying: "Listen to me, those gym masters are completely different from guys like me. Everyone is a master among the masters, especially those who are in charge of kicking gyms. Everyone has experienced life and death, and they are not afraid of ninjas at all. When you were traveling outside, you killed ninjas with your own hands, and you were really just looking for death in the past."

"Ah, ah, ah." Looking at the somewhat anxious Xuansheng Ichiro, Naruto patted Xuansheng Ichiro on the shoulder to signal him to feel at ease and said, "You may not believe me, but I'm actually pretty good. My friends and teachers praised me for my talent.”

"This is completely different, okay? No matter how talented you are, how can you compare with those old fritters?"

From Xuansheng Ichiro's point of view, Naruto is only a teenager at most, and the friends he talks about must be as old as him. What do children of this age know, it must be just flattering each other.

So in Xuansheng Ichiro's view, Naruto's past challenges were asking for a dead end.

"You tell me that you really can't go." Xuansheng Ichiro said anxiously: "People will really die."

"Don't persuade me, I've already made up my mind." Naruto shook his head firmly and said, "How can I not try such an interesting thing."

Xuansheng Ichiro looked at Naruto's determined look, knowing that this would not convince him, so he could only say from another angle: "But you are a ninja, if you are not a samurai, you are not qualified to challenge, and if you let They know that you are a ninja and they still go to provoke you, they are afraid that the entire Iron Kingdom will be against you, and it is possible to directly attack them in groups."

"What you said is indeed a problem." Naruto thought for a while, then slapped his hands suddenly and said, "Then I might as well become a samurai for the time being, and they won't be able to see that I don't use ninjutsu when I go to challenge. "

"If you don't use ninjutsu, you will be dead." Xuansheng Ichiro persuaded earnestly: "And even if you don't use ninjutsu, you can't even hold a samurai sword. Others can tell you are a fake at a glance."

"It's okay, I've thought of this a long time ago." Naruto looked at Xuansheng Ichiro with a smile, and said with a bright smile on his face: "Isn't there still you!"

"Ah?" Xuansheng Ichiro showed a puzzled expression, pointed to himself and said, "Me?"

-------------------------------------

Early the next morning, in the small courtyard outside the house, Naruto and Xuansheng Ichiro came here early after having breakfast.

"Are you sure you really want to learn?" Xuansheng Ichiro held his long knife in his hand, looked helplessly at Naruto and said, "Although it's not that I don't want to teach you, but this kind of thing can't be learned overnight. Is it good or not?"

"It's okay, just teach me, you won't count me in." Naruto held a wooden knife in his hand, waved it twice and said, "You just need to teach me some simple basics, and it won't take too much of your time. .”

"Even the basics need to be practiced for a long time..."

Xuansheng Ichiro sighed helplessly, he also knew that he couldn't persuade Naruto, but he felt that Naruto's idea was a bit whimsical.

In his opinion, trying to learn how to use a samurai sword within a few days, and becoming a fake samurai that others can't tell the truth is simply a matter of laughing out loud.

You must know that even if it is a simple posture of holding a knife, he had to learn it for nearly a week before it is considered standard, not to mention the basic elements such as standing posture and steps behind him. getting Started.

Just Xuansheng Ichiro's teachers praised him for his great talent, and he is a good seed for learning kendo.

So no matter how talented Naruto is, it is simply impossible for him to learn how to use a samurai sword within a few days, and then fight like a samurai.

Forget it, anyway, when he finds out that he can't learn it in a short time, he should give up.

Xuansheng Ichiro thought silently in his heart, and began to formally teach Naruto.

"First I need to find you something that can be used as a knife." Sheng Yilang scratched his hair, looked around and looked at the long knife in his hand and said: "How about I give you the real knife, and I will Let’s demonstrate with the scabbard first.”

"No, I'll just make a wooden knife myself."

Naruto shook his head lightly, and broke off a branch of a suitable size from the persimmon tree in the yard, and then put his fingers together, a white-gold fluorescent light kept flickering and jumping at Naruto's fingertips. There was a burst of flying, and as the sawdust continued to fall, under Xuansheng Ichiro's astonished eyes, a delicate wooden knife gradually took shape.

"Is this also ninjutsu?" Xuansheng Ichiro looked at the wooden sword in Naruto's hand with admiration and said, "You said you know this kind of miraculous moves, why are you still learning kendo?"

"Learn and see, there is no harm in learning more things." Naruto looked at Xuansheng Ichiro with a smile and said, "I will pay your tuition."

"Forget about the tuition fee, there are not many people in my school." Xuansheng Ichiro said mockingly: "If my dead teacher knows that there are people who want to learn, I am afraid that he will be willing to pay for it."

"The school I practice is called Xinyinliu swordsmanship, which is one of the swordsmanship that has been handed down since ancient times."

As soon as he entered the formal teaching, Xuansheng Ichiro's expression also became serious. No matter whether Naruto can learn it or not, he still has to teach it seriously:

"Xinyinliumen is divided into 10 stages from "Biao" to "Jiezhuan", from low to high, namely, Biao, Dazhuan, Xiaozhuan, Tengu Chao, Tengu Chaoao, Fake Catalogue, Catalogue, Gaiden, Inner biography, all biography.

You just started learning swordsmanship, you have to learn from the standing posture, the standing posture of Xinyinliu is called natural body.

The so-called natural body is the most basic posture when learning kendo.It can not only deal with the opponent's attack, but also keep itself in a relaxed and natural state.The natural body is also known as the foundation of movement in kendo. "

Xuansheng Ichiro held the long knife in both hands, and his eyes signaled Naruto beside him to follow his posture.

Naruto held the wooden knife in both hands, carefully observed Xuansheng Ichiro's movements, and then stood with his two feet separated naturally, with the toes slightly spread out, the neck straightened, the chin retracted, and the back pulled up.

Xuansheng Ichiro saw that Naruto was doing decently for the first time, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he just thought it was a coincidence, and he kept correcting Naruto's posture:

"Knee joints should be flexed and stretched, maintain a certain strength, the center of gravity of the body should fall between the two feet, the shoulders should not feel stiff, the lower abdomen should be heavy, and the waist should not be loose, otherwise the center of gravity will be unstable."

Naruto kept fine-tuning his movements according to Xuansheng Ichiro's guidance, and he kind of regained the feeling when he was practicing horse stance back then, but in terms of difficulty, this natural body is much easier than zama stance.

At the moment, the surprise in the eyes of Xuansheng Ichiro who was standing aside was getting bigger and bigger, because he found that Naruto was improving at a speed visible to the naked eye, and it took only a few minutes, Naruto had already made standard natural body movements, And it's still fine-tuning.

Xuansheng Ichiro even had an illusion, as if Naruto's movements in front of him were more harmonious than the movements of the kendo master who taught him back then.

For Naruto, his strong martial arts foundation gave him unparalleled muscle control ability, and the difficulty of natural body movements was more than one level worse than the original horse stance.

When Naruto was doing the horse stance, Mr. Ji asked him to feel like a horse. The muscles and bones of the whole body must be adjusted continuously with the breath. The real horse stance is not a rigid dead movement, but a movement. Active actions that constantly switch between.

At this moment, the natural body has not yet reached the stage of active action, it is just a dead action that can be successful as long as it is in a standard posture. For Naruto who has learned the horse stance and comprehended the will of martial arts, it is simply a child's play.

Naruto, who was constantly adapting to his natural body movements, noticed that Xuansheng Ichiro suddenly stopped talking, and turned his head with some doubts, "What's the matter, is there any problem? It's okay, if you have any questions, just tell me."

"Ah?" Hearing Naruto's question, Xuansheng Ichiro suddenly reacted, and said in a daze: "That...it's nothing, you did it very standard...I'm going to teach you the basic footwork now and posture."

Xuansheng Ichiro is an honest person, since Naruto has already done a very standard, he will not forcefully say that he is wrong for the sake of face, so he can only continue to teach.

However, as he continued to teach in depth, the fear in Xuansheng Ichiro's heart became heavier and heavier.

Naruto can learn the four basic footworks of walking, sliding, flashing, and stepping. Even in the end, Xuansheng Ichiro couldn't keep up with Naruto's speed, and he was more proficient in using them than him. This stance is mastered as soon as you get started, and after a little practice, you will immediately look like a veteran who has been immersed in kendo for many years.

With the development of time, Xuansheng Ichiro even had a suspicion in his heart, that is, Naruto is actually a master of swordsmanship, and he lied to him when he said that he could not know swordsmanship, otherwise it would be impossible to explain how the other party could master it so quickly kendo.

In fact, it’s not surprising that Xuansheng Ichiro would think so. Naruto’s learning speed is too abnormal. In less than half an hour, he has already learned the skills that others need a year to master in front of him. It is more proficient than some samurai who have been immersed in it for more than ten years. It is not a genius that can explain it. After all, even if you are a genius, it takes time to learn a brand new thing.

In fact, it is wrong to say that Naruto has no foundation at all. Although Naruto has never really learned the way of samurai swords, he has practiced boxing, and it is one of the strongest boxing techniques.

Boxing is actually the source of all weapons, because the fist itself is the most important and basic weapon of a person, and boxing is a way to teach people how to use the pair of weapons they are born with.

A fist is an extension of the arm, and a weapon is an extension of the fist. Therefore, if a person masters boxing, it is equivalent to mastering the source of all weapons that need to be mastered by both hands. Learning any weapon will have twice the result with half the effort.

When Mr. Ji's experienced masters teach their apprentices weapons, they often teach them the basics of boxing first, which is the reason.

One way is mastery, ten thousand ways are mastery, Naruto learns samurai swordsmanship naturally very fast, it can’t even be said to be learning, it should be said to be a kind of review, reviewing another way of using the boxing method he already knows .Naruto was practicing, and found that Xuansheng Ichiro on the side started to wander around the world again, he couldn't help stopping his movements, looked at Xuansheng Ichiro with a smile and said: "I said, why is your teacher always wandering off? That's not good."

"Er...that..." Hearing Naruto's teasing, Xuansheng Ichiro came back to his senses, looked at Naruto hesitantly and said: "Naruto-kun, have you ever learned the way of swordsman?"

"Kendo? If you're talking about what you're teaching me now, I really haven't learned it." Naruto spread his hands innocently and said, "But I've learned some martial arts before, and that's nothing unusual. After all, Taijutsu is also one of the necessary lessons for ninjas."

"That's it...that's no wonder..." Xuansheng Ichiro heard Naruto's answer, although he felt that something was wrong, he finally had an explanation for the time being, so he cheered up and said:

"Well, I'm going to start teaching you actual combat moves next. Let's learn as we fight, and I'll show you moves. You don't plan to use ninjutsu or the like, and neither do other physical skills. You can only have I will teach you the way of the sword to fight!"

"No problem." Naruto nodded and said, "Of course I understand that."

"Okay! Now you can also experience the swordsmanship of our country of iron!" Xuansheng Ichiro said eagerly: "It was agreed in advance that I will not show mercy, and if I hurt you later, don't get angry!"

"Don't worry." Naruto looked at Xuansheng Ichiro with a smile and said, "The more you beat me, the happier I am. It's been a long time since I've experienced the pain of being beaten by someone using body skills."

"Then you won't be disappointed today."

Xuansheng Ichiro felt that although Naruto learned quickly, he only learned it, and there was still a long way to go before practical application. He, an orthodox samurai, could never fail, so he said with a smile:

"I'm up!"
