The Konoha Flow Sword Art did not include the Moonlight Wind Dance of the Three Days and Moon, which was considered the deadliest technique in the Konoha Flow Sword Art. It required the use of the shadow avatar.
Shi Yu, a young ninja who had not yet graduated, couldn't even think about being taught the art of the Shadow Doppelganger. The Shadow Doppelganger Art was a dangerous ninjutsu, and even a small mistake while casting it could result in self-injury. However, the ten styles of Konoha Ryu swordsmanship were something Shi Yu could learn.
Additionally, this training would serve to assess Shi Yu's talent in swordsmanship and reaffirm it. If Shi Yu could quickly learn the Konoha Flow Sword Art, even at a basic level, it would prove that he was indeed a swordsmanship genius.
Teaching the ten styles of Konoha Ryu swordsmanship was not too difficult. The Moonlight Wind deliberately slowed down the movements and explained each step in detail. It took only ten minutes.
Turning to look at Shi Yu, the Moonlight Wind said, "Now it's your turn!"
Upon hearing this, Shi Yu wore a confident smile. It was a smile that came from knowing something others didn't.
When the Moonlight Wind demonstrated the final form, something remarkable happened. The system tone sounded: [Parsing complete]. [Congratulations to the host for acquiring a new skill, Konoha Ryu Sword Art].
Almost simultaneously, everything about Konoha Ryu swordsmanship was imprinted in Shi Yu's mind as if he were born with it. Every movement was etched in his memory, and it felt like he had mastered the Konoha Ryu Sword Art a long time ago.
He raised his hand, and with the first sword strike, he managed to amaze the Moonlight Wind, whose own strength was exceeded by Shi Yu's incredible power. Just the first form of the Konoha Ryu Sword Art left the Moonlight Wind completely stunned.
Konoha Ryu Sword Art was a rare and closely guarded technique among the Konoha ninja. It had very few practitioners, and those who learned it were carefully documented, making it virtually impossible for Shi Yu to come into contact with it under normal circumstances.
Dancing with a wooden sword in front of his eyes, Shi Yu displayed the Konoha Ryu Sword Art with an uncanny perfection that exceeded even his own expectations. It was as if he had been practicing it for over a decade, far surpassing the skills of the Moonlight Wind, who was already an adept swordfighter.
Shi Yu's talent in swordsmanship was extraordinary, a gift that set him apart from all the other ninjas in Konoha. Moonlight Wind couldn't help but proclaim, "Shi Yu, when you master this, you could become the second Konoha White Fang!"
The mention of the Konoha White Fang name reminded Shi Yu of his mediocre past, but it also served as a reminder that he was no longer the same. His potential had been revealed in an astonishing display of swordsmanship.
However, the idea of becoming the second Konoha White Fang made Shi Yu contemplate the responsibility and potential dangers that came with it. Konoha was not as calm as it seemed, and he was still just a novice.
Such exceptional talent in swordsmanship could attract attention, but Shi Yu had other talents he needed to keep hidden for now. Konoha had influential figures like Danzo and the Third Hokage, who had their own agendas and might take an interest in him.
The name "Konoha's second White Fang" was a considerable burden, but Shi Yu knew it could be a path to greatness, as well as a way to protect his family and himself.
Moonlight Wind, who was waiting for Shi Yu's response, saw a confident smile on Shi Yu's face and asked, "Really, Brother Windswept?"
Shi Yu replied, "Of course, it's true!"
Moonlight Wind assured him that Shi Yu's talent in swordsmanship was exceptional and that he should prioritize it. Shi Yu accepted his guidance with enthusiasm.
Moonlight Wind suggested, "You can keep practicing, or you can go meet your classmates. If you choose to continue, I'll accompany you."
Shi Yu felt it was time to go back and study Active Skill 3. He replied, "Thank you, Brother, but I have plans with my classmates today."
Moonlight Wind didn't mind and nodded. "It's essential to spend time with your classmates. Let's go!"
Shi Yu decided to take the initiative to say goodbye. "Alright, Brother, I'll take my leave."
Moonlight Wind smiled and encouraged him, "You can keep the wooden sword. Use it to practice swordsmanship more. When you graduate from the ninja school, I'll give you a real ninja sword. By then, you'll be a formidable swordsman, and few will be able to match you among the lower-ranking ninjas."
After the parting words, Shi Yu went on his way, while Moonlight Wind made his way to the Hokage Building to report the appearance of a swordsmanship genius within the Moonlight clan. He believed this was an opportunity to gain the Hokage's attention and support.
At the same time, it was a chance to help Shi Yu receive the recognition he deserved in the realm of swordsmanship, ensuring that his talent wouldn't go unnoticed.
Moonlight Wind recognized that Shi Yu's remarkable talent was not limited to swordsmanship. Shi Yu, however, understood the delicate nature of the situation and had decided to keep certain talents hidden.
Konoha had individuals like Danzo and the Third Hokage, each with their own agenda, and Shi Yu was not ready to be a pawn in their schemes. The responsibility and attention that came with being the "second Konoha White Fang" was not something to be taken lightly.
As Shi Yu walked away, he couldn't help but think of the future and the challenges and opportunities it would bring.
