Kapitel 79: Chapter 79
"Remember, Lord Hokage, I told you once in your office!"
"My swordsmanship has reached a new level!"
"Now, I ask you to witness my growth firsthand!"
After mastering the Leaf Style Swordsmanship to perfection, Fujiwara Tetsuya was now able to employ the secret techniques of the Leaf Style, skills usually reserved for jonin.
"Leaf Style Swordsmanship: Secret Sword – Moon Shadow."
With the help of the Body Flicker Technique, Tetsuya's form began to blur, leaving a series of afterimages in his wake. One sharp, chilling blade after another struck at Sarutobi Hiruzen with precision.
The swiftness of his movements made the crowd of observing shinobi involuntarily widen their eyes.
"Oh, the Moon Shadow, is it?"
"Tetsuya, I never expected you'd manage to integrate Body Flicker with swordsmanship to this degree!"
Faced with the cold glint of his opponent's blade, Sarutobi Hiruzen's stance, which hadn't shifted even a step, finally began to retreat. However, his right hand vibrated intensely, wielding a kunai that blocked every one of Tetsuya's sword techniques with near-perfect accuracy.
"Leaf Style Swordsmanship: Crescent Moon Dance."
The Crescent Moon Dance—one of the ultimate killer moves in Leaf Style Swordsmanship. Yet, to execute it flawlessly, it demands an almost inhuman level of mastery over shadow clones.
Most jonin of the Leaf wouldn't bother to train in this technique; only those in the Anbu, often sent on assassination missions, would choose to practice it.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa!"
"Is this for real? This kid isn't even nine!"
"And he's mastered such advanced sword techniques!"
As three identical figures launched their attacks nearly simultaneously, murmurs of disbelief rippled through the crowd. Even a few of the jonin couldn't contain their surprise.
"Sensei!"
"When did you teach Tetsuya those secret techniques? Why didn't I know about this?"
Just as Yuhi Shin was caught off guard, Uchiha Mikoto and Aburame Muto approached with curious gazes. The past few months had been a whirlwind of missions, leaving little room for extra training.
"I… I don't know, either!"
Facing those two clear, expectant looks, Yuhi Shin found himself stumbling over his words. Given that his clan specialized in genjutsu, he had put his sword training on the back burner since becoming a jonin.
The Leaf Style Swordsmanship: Secret Sword – Moon Shadow and Crescent Moon Dance… He hadn't even learned them himself. How could he have possibly taught Tetsuya?
Could it be that one of the departed jonin from the Fujiwara, Tanaka, or Uesugi clans had left records behind for him to learn?
After a moment of silent speculation, Yuhi Shin felt as though he'd solved the mystery.
At the training grounds, the duel between Sarutobi Hiruzen and Fujiwara Tetsuya raged on. Tetsuya's astonishing swordsmanship talent, displayed before the eyes of many shinobi, still hadn't managed to land a single blow on Hiruzen.
The Leaf Style Swordsmanship, impressive as it was, ultimately followed the path carved by predecessors.
"Tetsuya, your gift for swordsmanship is undeniable!"
"But now, it's time for me to experience up close your progress in ninjutsu!"
Following Tetsuya's demonstration of the Chidori, Water Prison Technique, Return, and Lightning Fang Pursuit, shinobi from both the Anbu and Danzo's ROOT division had already begun to train in these techniques.
The Chidori requires extraordinary dynamic vision to wield in battle; very few can handle it. However, the Water Prison Technique, Return had proven to be quite effective in practical combat.
"As you wish, Lord Hokage!"
After such an intense exchange, while Chanmings blade remained undamaged, the recoil had left Tetsuya's hand aching. When Hiruzen called out, Tetsuya quickly embedded Chanmings into the ground, weaving hand signs with remarkable speed.
"Hiruzen, prepare yourself to feel the pressure from a junior!"
"Lightning Release: Lightning Fang Pursuit!"
With his proficiency in Lightning Fang Pursuit now at the master level, Tetsuya's control over its power, flexibility, and tracking ability had reached impressive heights. Under Hiruzen's calculated movements, the lightning beast continued to close in on him.
"Incredible chakra control!"
"The speed, the flexibility are both impressive!"
"But how about its power?"
"Earth Release: Earth-Style Wall!"
The ground shook as a massive earth wall rose at the center of the training field, towering beyond what anyone expected.
"The Lord Hokage's Earth Release technique is still as formidable as ever!"
Staring at the wall, many of the jonin in the crowd whispered among themselves, wondering how they'd fare if placed in Tetsuya's position. For most of them, this straightforward technique, often used defensively, would be tough to counter effectively.
The reality, however, was disheartening. Fire, water, or wind release would hardly make a dent against it.
Zzzt…
The moment Lightning Fang Pursuit collided with the earth wall, the sharp sound of Chidori's crackling resounded throughout the training grounds. In a burst of speed, Tetsuya leaped atop the wall, driving his blade forward in a relentless thrust toward Hiruzen.
