Chapter 21 What is the Wuji Sword Saint?
A tomoe appeared in Qingyu's pupils, its scarlet light flashing and disappearing in an instant.
But he immediately realized that he was at someone else's doorstep, and it would be somewhat impolite to use his Sharingan to copy sword techniques in front of the homeowner, so he quickly turned off his Sharingan.
Automatically turning on aimbot is definitely a bad habit.
Sakumo Hatake noticed Kiyoha's movements.
Looking into Qingyu's now normal dark eyes, he smiled instead.
"It's okay."
Sakumo Hatake waved his hand, his tone quite indifferent.
"Many Uchiha clan members have tried to copy my swordsmanship using the Sharingan, but they can only learn one or two moves at most."
Upon hearing this, Qingyu thought to herself, "Just as I thought."
The Sharingan's ability to copy images is not a panacea.
Even someone as strong as Kakashi could create his own S-rank ninjutsu at the age of 13, and copying the A-rank Rasengan with his Sharingan was his limit.
As for more advanced techniques, even the Sharingan cannot perfectly replicate them.
It depends on talent.
Sakumo Hatake continued, "Swordsmanship is a tool; how well it can be used depends on the person wielding it. Whether one has the Sharingan or not is not the most important thing."
He leaned the wooden sword on the ground and his gaze fell on Qingyu.
"A true master always has the mind of a student. How much you can learn depends on whether you are willing to treat yourself as a blank sheet of paper."
Qingyu listened quietly.
He just thought, what Wuji Sword Saint?
Sakumo Hatake's mindset was indeed too pure, so it's understandable that he couldn't withstand the malice of cyberbullying.
Qingyu pondered, now that she was here, could she change the outcome?
He then reactivated his Sharingan.
A magatama swirled slowly around her pupil, and Qingyu's vision became clear.
Sakumo Hatake nodded slightly and raised his wooden sword again.
"What I just demonstrated were some very basic sword techniques."
He slowed his movements a bit, allowing Qingyu to clearly see the trajectory of the blade.
The wooden sword sliced through the air with a dull whistling sound.
After his father demonstrated it once, Kakashi picked up his wooden sword and perfectly replicated the movements.
"I'm done practicing."
Kakashi put down his wooden sword, his tone indifferent, clearly thinking it was nothing.
Obito scratched the back of his head, trying to recall Sakumo Hatake's actions since earlier, but his mind was a complete mess.
Sometimes, elders in the clan would teach swordsmanship to the children, and the same was true for ninja schools.
However, Obito's learning was very slow.
He was thinking about Nohara Rin, and he couldn't remember whether the last stab came from the left or the right.
"I don't quite understand..."
Nohara Rinya gently shook her head:
"I feel it's a bit difficult."
"It's okay."
Sakumo Hatake smiled and comforted him.
The more basic the thing, the more it reveals talent.
However, even without talent, one can reach a decent level through repeated practice.
"Kakashi has a good foundation, so it's normal for him to learn quickly. Everyone has different strengths, and not everyone is suited to the path of swordsmanship."
Then he looked at Qingyu.
Qingyu stood still, gripping the wooden sword in her hand.
The Sharingan is actually just a display screen.
In Qingyu's eyes, every movement of Hatake Sakumo was broken down into many frames.
If Qingyu's Sharingan evolves into a two-tomoe Sharingan or a three-tomoe Sharingan, the frame rate can be further improved.
Sometimes, being one frame faster than others can decide the outcome of a match.
In addition, the [Sword Maniac] trait that fell from Sakumo Hatake earlier has greatly enhanced Kiyoha's understanding of swordsmanship.
He lowered his wrist, drew his sword, and re-demonstrated the same move that Hatake Sakumo had just made.
The smile in Sakumo Hatake's eyes slowly faded, then turned into a serious, observant look.
He glanced at the wooden knife in Qingyu's hand, then at Qingyu's eyes.
Upon first contact, his movements were almost identical to Kakashi's.
No, in some aspects, he even handles the power exertion points better than Kakashi.
Sakumo Hatake pondered for a few seconds and thought that Kiyoha might be very suitable for swordsmanship.
This speed of progress is truly astonishing.
This made Sakumo Hatake lament that children sometimes don't necessarily inherit their parents' talents.
Kakashi's talent clearly lies in ninjutsu, not swordsmanship.
However, Kiyoha, who was born into the Senju or Uchiha clans, had a remarkable talent for swordsmanship.
This piqued Sakumo Hatake's curiosity.
Where is Qingyu's limit?
If Qingyu were to practice swordsmanship for a long time, to what level would he reach?
After all, Qingyu, who has a good talent for swordsmanship, can copy a large number of sword moves with his Sharingan.
With consistent practice over time, he will definitely become a very strong swordsmanship-type ninja.
Thinking of this, Sakumo Hatake's eyes showed even greater appreciation.
What a good boy.
"Your swordsmanship talent is quite good."
Hatake Sakumochi.
"You're much faster at learning these things than Kakashi was back then."
Kakashi, who was standing nearby holding a wooden sword, did not refute what he heard, but simply glanced at Qingyu.
[Collectible trait detected: White Teeth's Keen Eye]
[Rank D Trait: White Teeth's Keen Eye]
[Effect: Gains the ability to see through others' talents, and increases perception by 20%.]
"A discerning eye?"
Kiyohara remembered that the official guidebook did mention that Sakumo Hatake had such a setting, which is why he was able to immediately conclude that Might Guy would be very powerful in the future.
In fact, even the judgment made on the first meeting proved that Sakumo Hatake's judgment was quite correct.
"Qingyu, you really haven't practiced swordsmanship much before?"
Nohara Rin couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
"Tsunade taught me some theory, and then some basics from the Ninja Academy."
Qingyu answered truthfully.
Everything else was gone, except for the special traits obtained from Kakashi and Sakumo Hatake.
Obito sat cross-legged on the ground, arms crossed, and muttered under his breath, "So what if he memorizes the moves quickly?" But his tone was noticeably less confident than usual.
Qingyu ignored Obito's grumbling and turned to Hatake Sakumo, asking the question he had been pondering.
"Lord Sakumo, I have a question for you."
"you say."
"If I possess a specific chakra nature, can I imbue that nature onto ninja tools? For example, water-style chakra or fire-style chakra, to enhance the weapon's power?"
Upon hearing this, a hint of approval flashed in Hatake Sakumo's eyes.
To be able to think at this level when first encountering swordsmanship requires either extensive knowledge or high comprehension.
Based on the learning speed that Kiyoyu had just demonstrated, Hatake Sakumo felt that Kiyoyu possessed both qualities.
After all, attaching chakra to an object is a skill that really tests one's chakra control ability, and the threshold for mastery is quite high.
Some people with poor aptitude will never be able to attach chakra to other objects in their entire lives.
"Attaching chakra nature transformation to ninja tools is a rather sophisticated technique."
He raised the wooden sword in his hand again, gesturing for Qingyu to look carefully.
"In theory, anyone with chakra properties can try, but in reality, it's not easy to make chakra adhere stably to the blade and maintain it for a long time without dissipating."
"First, you need to fully master the nature changes of this attribute; second, you need a high level of chakra control; and there's also the issue of additional chakra consumption."
