Chapter 18 - Chapter 18 Basic Swordsmanship

For two days, no one came looking for the Brown Bear Squad Leader, not even the Vortex Ninja came to the seaside.

When Night Light was bored, he asked some questions he had in his heart. As long as it didn't involve Konoha Village's secrets, the Brown Bear Squad Leader was willing to answer.

"Squad Leader, isn't the Uzumaki Clan good at sealing Ninjutsu? Why don't they seal their supplies into sealing scrolls and take them away?"

Brown Bear thought about the terrible teaching at the Ninja School and knew that the fox didn't understand anything, so he said:

"You're talking about the Object Sealing Technique, a sealing Ninjutsu that seals items.

The Object Sealing Technique requires Chakra to be injected into the sealed items.

Once the Chakra in the sealed item naturally dissipates, the seal will disappear and be destroyed.

In other words, sealing supplies requires a large number of personnel to prepare and maintain the sealing scrolls.

Unless absolutely necessary, no Ninja would maintain the Object Sealing Technique for a long time.

The Vortex Ninja we encountered could be killed any day, so they didn't have the energy to maintain the Object Sealing Technique, which is why their supplies were piled up in the warehouse."

Night Light nodded repeatedly. So that's how it was.

The Object Sealing Technique required continuous Chakra injection and constant maintenance by the sealing Ninja.

This explained the Battle of Kannabi Bridge in the original work.

Minato Namikaze's squad blew up Kannabi Bridge, and the Stone Ninja's supplies couldn't be transported to the front lines in large quantities, forcing them to retreat.

If the Object Sealing Technique had no cost, then all supplies would be sealed into one scroll, and there would be no supply lines.

In a blink of an eye, more than ten days passed, and a new month arrived.

Night Light looked at the Brown Bear Squad Leader's back, feeling restless.

Perhaps he should die at the hands of the Brown Bear Squad Leader this month. The Squad Leader was at least an Elite Chunin, so he might get something good.

Other Squad Leaders reported their situations to the Brown Bear Squad Leader from time to time.

These Squad Leaders had also suffered severe casualties.

Up until now, among the four squads in the company, the fox had replaced Captain Ling's position, the Azure Wolf Squad was completely wiped out, which was equivalent to losing one squad, and of the remaining two squads, one had two people and the other had three.

In the three-person squad, the Squad Leader absolutely refused to give the fox a team member.

One less person meant one less fighting force.

These Squad Leaders were really something. Night Light brought them soldier pills, and they didn't even know how to say thank you.

"Fox! I have a mission for you."

After listening to the reports from two Squad Leaders, the Squad Leader gave Night Light an order:

"Capture someone alive, a Cloud Ninja Squad Leader. I need to interrogate him for information.

It's normal to have Kirigakure nearby; Hidden Mist Village has always coveted the Wave Country' mission share.

But there are too many Cloud Ninja; I don't know what they're planning."

"Capture someone alive? And a Cloud Ninja Squad Leader?" Night Light swallowed with difficulty and said, "Okay, I understand."

The good news was that his performance in the last mission was excellent, and the Squad Leader trusted him greatly.

The bad news was that his performance in the last mission was too good, and the Squad Leader trusted him too much.

After leaving the seaside, Night Light's mouth tasted bitter.

Capturing someone alive was much harder than killing them.

Especially Ninja, who were all fighting maniacs, fearless of death. How could they be captured alive?

Night Light touched the short sword tucked into his back. Cloud Ninja were all very skilled in swordsmanship, and he didn't know any swordsmanship, only using the short sword like a long Kunai.

After getting information about the Cloud Ninja from other Squad Leaders, Night Light set off alone.

Arriving in the area where Cloud Ninja frequented, Night Light chose a road leading into a town, set up Exploding Tag traps, and hid.

Cloud Ninja, like Konoha Ninja, traveled long distances, and after finishing their soldier pills, they had to go to towns or fishing Villages to replenish food.

Waiting outside the town made it easy to ambush enemies.

He patiently lay in the bushes.

soldier pills were small in volume, required little to eat, and resulted in less waste, so as long as one could withstand the empty feeling of hunger in the stomach, one could remain motionless for a day or two.

Until a certain early morning, just as the morning star rose.

Three figures moved quickly, sprinting towards the small town.

At a certain moment, an explosion suddenly occurred beneath their feet.

Boom!

The three dark figures were blown in three different directions.

Night Light jumped up and threw Kunai in three directions.

Two Kunai hit the enemies, proving that they were injured or killed by the Exploding Tag.

One enemy dodged the Kunai and charged towards Night Light.

Night Light saw his forehead protector, a Cloud Ninja forehead protector.

Good luck, he encountered a Cloud Ninja squad. Judging by this Cloud Ninja's strength, he should be the Squad Leader.

Night Light held his Kunai in a reverse grip, engaging in close combat, preparing to find an opportunity to use the Ninjutsu: Self-Inflicted Curse Sealing.

The Cloud Ninja Squad Leader's swordsmanship was extremely exquisite; one side-step made Night Light lose his target.

As he side-stepped, he coordinated with a horizontal slash of his Ninja sword, almost cutting open Night Light's side abdomen.

The two sides went back and forth, Kunai and Ninja sword clashing.

Night Light fought very uncomfortably; the Cloud Ninja's footwork, combined with his swordsmanship, made it impossible for Night Light to pin him down.

At a certain moment, the Cloud Ninja Squad Leader suddenly bent down, dodging Night Light's Kunai.

By the time Night Light wanted to dodge, it was too late.

The Ninja sword had already pierced Night Light's abdomen.

There was no feeling at the wound at first, then it became hot, followed by intense pain.

Just as the Cloud Ninja Squad Leader was about to pull out his sword, he suddenly saw an Exploding Tag!

Boom!

After an explosion, Night Light and the Squad Leader were both killed simultaneously.

The Cloud Ninja Squad Leader's last thought was, Is this person crazy? Is he sick? He used an Exploding Tag to commit suicide?

Could it be an enemy from the Village who found him here, just because he cheated on him?

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

Everything went black, and his vision changed.

Night Light appeared at the time of the previous full moon, before he had met the Brown Bear Squad Leader.

[Moon Viewing Arc activated!

The host has one resurrection chance per month. After death, you will be revived on the previous full moon night.

Reward: One lottery chance:

1 - Lightning Release Chakra;

2 - Muscle Healing Ninjutsu;

3 - Swordsmanship (Beginner).]

Lightning Release Chakra, not really needed.

Muscle Healing Ninjutsu, he didn't expect the Cloud Ninja Squad Leader to also possess a medical Ninjutsu.

Forget about medical Ninjutsu; compared to healing himself, defeating the enemy as soon as possible was more crucial.

Night Light focused his attention on the third option, Swordsmanship.

To dodge the enemy's Ninja sword, one needed to be more proficient in swordsmanship than the enemy.

Night Light didn't understand the angles, speed, and power of the Ninja sword, which led to him being at a disadvantage in close combat.

Without hesitation, Night Light chose the third option, Swordsmanship (Beginner).

Beginner-level swordsmanship included two main parts.

First were the basic moves: chop, hack, stab, thrust, sweep, block, lift, hang, wipe, and parry.

Second were the basic footwork techniques, used to complement various swordsmanship moves and find the most reasonable way to exert force.

It wasn't just knowledge; Night Light instantly gained many muscle memories, allowing him to naturally execute these swordsmanship techniques.

Drawing his Ninja sword, Night Light practiced his swordsmanship repeatedly until every strike could be executed smoothly.

Having mastered swordsmanship, he was no longer passive when facing the Cloud Ninja.

No wonder the Cloud Ninja Squad Leader's swordsmanship was so strong; it turned out that proper swordsmanship made the sword fast and the angles tricky.

As for the origin of the swordsmanship, it was easy to explain.

He gradually imitated and figured out the swordsmanship during his battles with the Cloud Ninja.

Being highly perceptive, there was nothing wrong with that, right?
