Chapter 11: Chapter 11
(edited)
In the Village of Artisans, in a blacksmith shop, an old blacksmith is constantly hammering iron.
Kakashi and Koyuki followed Mifune into the shop.
Mifune said: "Zuo Yan, I've brought you some business." (EN: Imma leave the names in the Chinese version if I don't know who they are. If y'all got any ideas, let me know.)
The old blacksmith raised his head, looked at Mifune, and glanced at Kakashi. He said, "Is this boy the customer?
Hearing this, Kakashi answered: "I am. I don't know if the sir can help me build a good sword? (EN: I know this isn't grammatically correct, but since they're talking, it should be fine.)
"Yes, but you have to pay for the materials," said the old blacksmith.
"This…" Kakashi took out the White Light Chakra Blade and said: "Sir, I only have this broken sword. Can you supply the rest of the materials required to fix it? Don't worry, I will cover the cost."
The old blacksmith took the broken blade and measured it. He said: "This sword is made of rare chakra conducting metal, but it has been broken. With only this much blade left, I am afraid it will not be possible to repair. As for the materials, I don't have any chakra conducting metal here."
Kakashi was helpless. He originally thought that the blacksmiths of Takumi Village posses this kind of metal. He didn't expect this old blacksmith to actually lack it.
At this time, Mifune pulled out a strange ore from the parcel and said, "Would this work?"
The old blacksmith saw the ore and his eyes brightened. He quickly said: "Yes. This is an amazing piece, where did you get it from?"
"Haha, by chance." Mifune said with a smile.
"Mr. Mifune, this isn't proper. I can't have you using your inventory for this." Kakashi said.
"No problem, I already have many black swords, and this is only my spare chakra metal. I don't need that stuff, it's useless for me. And this is what I owe."
"This…thanks a lot."
"No need. As long as you can inherit the kenjutsu of White Fang and carry it forward."
"Rest assured, I will!" Kakashi said awkwardly.
"Zuo Yan, how long will it take until the sword is ready?" asked Three Ships.
"Three days is enough. My techniques are top notch. The quality of the sword will satisfy you."
"Naturally, otherwise I won't have come to you."
"Then come over and take it after three days yourself. I won't bother sending it over. Now leave me alone will ya!" The old blacksmith finished, took the iron ore and began to refine.
"This guy is still the same." Mifune shook his head with a wry smile and turned to Kakashi and said, "Kakashi, stay at my house for the next three days. There are some things you need to be told."
"Okay, many thanks Mr. Mifune."
"You're welcome. Koyuki also needs you to spend more time with her." Mifune said and
looked at Koyuki.
Koyuki looked innocently at the two. She looked very cute at the moment.
In the courtyard, cherry blossoms are falling while, Kakashi, dancing a sword through the air, is practicing the Hatake Kenjutsu. Mifune is observing from the side and nods from time to time.
This long sword is not the one that Kakashi wants to build, but one he borrowed from Mifune to practice with.
Seeing Kakashi practice, Mifune said: "Kakashi, your kenjutsu can only improve until here for the time being. You have got the form down. The rest is the sword's reason, that is, the intent and faith."
Kakashi took the sword and said, "Many thanks Mr. Mifune for your pointers."
"Haha, Kakashi, watch for a moment as I demonstrate." said Mifune.
"Okay." Kakashi eyes shined, and it was a chance for Kakashi to see the swordsmanship of the great samurai Mifune.
Mifune pulled out his own black sword and danced his sword among the cherry blossoms. The sword was fierce, but it looked like a benevolent man. It looked very strange.
The pace of Mifune is even more strange, and the speed is fast, which made Kakashi a bit stunned.
He subconsciously wanted to open his sharingan to see it, but tolerated this urge. After all, this may be the secret of the opposite side, and it should not be copied without the consent of the individual.
It is really impossible to say.
If there is an enemy, there is no need to hesitate. But Mifune is not, and was friends with White Fang.
Mifune received the sword and said: "Kakashi, what did you see?"
"Mr. Mifune's swords are really fascinating, and it seems that there is a strange amount of Spiritual Force attached to his sword," Kakashi said.
Mifune heard this and responds while laughing loudly : "As expected of Sakumo's kid, he really is talented. Good, that is the sword intent. I believe that you will get the intent of the sword one day as well."
"Thanks for the compliment Mr. Mifune."
"In addition to this, what did you see?" asked Three Ships.
"This… Mr. Mifune's footwork seems to be somewhat unusual. It looks very strange and quick. It is a bit like the Body Flicker, but it is much more flexible."
"You really can see it! Yes, this footwork is somewhat similar to the Body Flicker Jutsu, but you don't need Chakra at all. Do you know who invented this footwork?"
"I don't know," Kakashi shook head said.
"You are very familiar with this person."
Kakashi pupils shrank and said: "Is it… my father?"
"Yes, it is exactly Sakumo. At the beginning, Sakumo Hatake reinvented the footwork that applied to the warrior according and applied it to the Body Flicker Jutsu, and taught it to me. Have you not studied it?" Mifune seemed to have some doubts.
Kakashi shook head said with a smile, "No, my father died young, and many moves were not taught to me. My current Hatake Kenjutsu is just based on the records in the book."
"It turns out that. Then I will teach you this Jutsu. After all, it is the move created by your father. You should know about this Jutsu as his son," said Mifune.
"Many thanks Mr. Mifune."
"No need for thanks. This step is called Shunpo!" Mifune said that and the footwork was once again demonstrated. Kakashi did not open Sharingan, but used his own eyes to study it.
Mifune demonstrated the Jutsu slowly for Kakashi to see, and at the same time is also talking about Shunpo's power, principle, and attention.
After the demonstration, Mifune asked: "How about it, Kakashi?"
Kakashi didn't answer right away, but closed her eyes and seemed to be thinking about something.
A moment later, Kakashi opened his eyes and flashed a glimmer of light, said with a smile: "Mr. Mifune, I think I understand."
"Oh? Then do you want to try?" said Mifune in surprise.
Just by watching it twice, is Kakashi really going to understand?
Kakashi said no nonsense. He goes straight to the tip of his toes and disappears in the same place. The next second appears five meters away.
"This…" Miune was stunned. He really did it? Although it is only the preliminary form, but it is indeed the Shunpo. This kind of comprehension is terrifying!
"I really don't know what else to say. As expected of the son of Sakumo Hatake." At last, Mifune can only say so.
"Mr. Mifune many thanks," Kakashi said gratefully.
Mifune waved his hands and said: "You are welcome, this is your famiy's jutsu. I am only passing it on to its rightful heir."
Shunpo, which is a kind of taijutsu, will become more terrifying as long as the body quality continues to increase. Today's Kakashi is just at the preliminary level. Even Mifune is far from achieving complete mastership.
How terrifying is the real Shunpo? Is it comparable to that of Body Flicker Shisui in the original? But today's Shisui is probably just a seven- or eight-year-old kid. I am afraid that his unique body flicker has not yet been developed.
