82 Chapter 82
After leaving the main central tent, Feng directly left camp and was now headed towards Konoha's Land of Wind frontline.
However, he wasn't in a rush this time and continued his training along the way.
With his quadruple speed state, he can save a few days of practicing.
Also, during the three days he stayed in the camp, he has also been practicing. The main objective of his training this time is for him to adapt to his new weapon, he needs to accustom himself on using the Hatake Swordsmanship on his Sword of Kusanagi.
There's still a difference between a short sword and a longsword after all, it's a good thing that it's only the size, not the shape of the weapon or the weight because it might affect the point of force when being used.
Feng was still stiff in using his Sword of Kusanagi so he still needed to make certain adjustments on how to properly swing or just casually wielding it.
...
Somewhere in the woods.
"Although the difference is not that huge, a difference is still a difference, but I think I can get used to it quicker than I thought..."
Feng held the Sword of Kusanagi and swung it casually.
In the three days he trained at the camp, he had almost 80% improvement on using the Hatake Swordsmanship with the Sword of Kusanagi. Two days after he left the camp he now had improved up to 90%.
The rest is just a matter of proficiency. It is necessary to use the most basic sword moves to achieve a more stable motion when using the sword, at the same time, it would push his mastery to the top bit by bit.
This kind of practice is the easiest for Feng.
With his Quadruple Speed State. His two days of practice would be equivalent to eight days for a normal person.
When he started practicing the Hatake Swordsmanship, he started from having zero experience to reaching mastery level of proficiency, he should've at least swung the White Light Chakra Sword at least a million times for almost a month.
At that time, he was only capable of using the Double Speed State, and both his physical strength and Chakra are nowhere near his current capability.
Thousands of swings.
It would take less than a week for Feng to complete his training with his Quadruple Speed State.
However, this was just his rough calculation based on his average swings per minute, but the bottomline is that he would master it much faster than before, moreover, he had already practiced the majority of it when he was still in the camp.
"Three thousand two hundred and eighty-one…"
"Three thousand two hundred and eighty-two..."
...
"Seven thousand seven hundred and seventy-six…"
"Seven thousand seven hundred and seventy-seven..."
...
"Twenty thousand… What the hell is going on... Forget it..."
Feng finally gave up on counting.
He just mindlessly swung his sword in the middle of the forest during which, the only time he took a break was to eat some deer and sheep that he hunted. Finally, after three whole days, Feng finally reached the point where when he swung his sword there was no longer any awkward feeling. It was now equivalent to the stage of mastery he has while using the White Light Chakra Sword!
Swish!
While at the Quadruple Speed State, Feng suddenly waved his sword at a distance.
A white glow flashed across the blade, and the tree that was more than a dozen meters away swayed then suddenly fell down as it was sliced down the center along with the trees behind it.
"This power is at least 20% higher than before."
"If I had this power before I fought Pakura, then I'll just slice apart her defenses even if she's surrounded by her fireballs. There's no need for me to rely and fight a war of attrition against her and my Time Reversal ability would almost be unnecessary..."
Feng sighed softly.
Looking at the results of his practice, he showed a trace of satisfaction.
The Fifth Gate of Limit was still far from being opened. So having his attacks increase by at least 20% was definitely a good thing.
For him who have the ability to accelerate and revert time, he doesn't need to consider defense or dodging, what he needs to do is just to continue increasing his power.
"Time to go."
Feng put away his sword and looked in the direction of the Land of Wind, his body then quickly turned into an afterimage and zoomed past through the forest rushing towards Hidden Leaf's frontline camp.
...
Land of Fire.
Somewhere in the jungle.
Two groups of ninjas are in the middle of a heated battle. One group was from Hidden Leaf and the other was from Hidden Sand.
"..."
Yuhi Shinku's expression was grave.
They just came to this area to scout and explore, they didn't expect to run into ninjas from Hidden Sand. Although they're still not in imminent danger, the other Jonin among their team was entangled by one of their enemies.
On their side they have three Genin's along with her daughter Kurenai and the strongest next to him was a Special Jonin and was currently fighting against an Upper Jonin.
Although it'is four against one, the Special Jonin within their team specializes in scouting so his combat power is not that high. On the other hand, Kurenai and the others are just Genin Class ninjas and are just barely close to the level of Chunin, so even when they are all added up together, they're still at a disadvantage, all they can do is provide little support.
"This is dangerous..."
Shinku frowned.
They only have two choices. One is to continue fighting and defeat his opponent as soon as possible to immediately support the others, but he wasn't sure if he could defeat his opponents first before Kurenai's team was defeated.
The other choice was to delay their enemy and place them under Genjutsu even for just a fraction of a second, for them to retreat safely.
"Retreat."
Yuhi Shinku finally commanded.
With her daughter's presence and the plight that she and her team was facing clearly affected Yuhi Shinku's focus, and he knew that this would be a major influence in his fight. In addition, their only mission this time was to reconnaissance and not to engage in a direct confrontation with enemies. So this battle is incredibly dangerous for Kurenai and the others.
Woosh! Woosh!
After Yuri Shinku parried his opponent's attack, he jumped and quickly moved towards Kurenai and the others and said in a deep voice, "Kurenai, Akagi... retreat."
"Yes!"
Hearing Yuri Shinku words, Kurenai and the others immediately began to retreat, while Yuri Shinku quickly formed hand seals and used Genjutsu to delay their enemies.
Kurenai was an excellent ninja, but they were still at a major disadvantage when they fought against the Upper Jonin from Hidden Sand and the pressure they felt was immense, she was even slightly injured and had a slight scratch on her right shoulder.
"They're on the same level as my father..."
She took a deep breath with her back already drenched in cold sweat, and her spirit was close to breaking down when they faced their opponent.
The two other Genins were the same as her, even the Special Jonin has beads of sweat on his forehead, it was obvious that their previous situation was dangerous.
At this moment.
Kurenai thought of Feng.
Although they were of the same age group, if Feng was in their situation, he wouldn't be as flustered as them right?
And almost at the moment when she was still lost in her thoughts, a loud cry awoke her from her stupor, it came from her father.
"Kurenai!!!"
Kurenai was shocked and felt intense cold killing intent coming from her side. Looking out from the corner of her eye, she saw a figure darting towards her with incredible speed with a kunai aiming towards her heart. Surprisingly it was one of the enemy Jonins!
Swish!
Kurenai only felt cold and shock in her heart. She would not be able to escape or even dodge at this distance. That momentary daze was a fatal mistake!
