Chapter 32 Two Ghosts Knocking on the Door
Sosuke arrives at Tenten Ninja Tools Shop.
"I want the Fuma Shuriken."
Sosuke slapped the money on the counter.
The proprietress didn't mention any purchase limits this time.
She recognized Sosuke; he was a regular customer who was very generous.
How much do you want?
"Ten of them."
"Ten of them?!" The proprietress was stunned. "Each one of those things weighs five kilograms. Can you even carry it?"
"If I can't carry it on my back, I can seal it in a scroll."
"Do you have the sealing scroll?"
"No, so I want to buy one too."
"A blank storage scroll costs 50,000 taels. It can store 100 kilograms of supplies."
"Two, please."
"The Wind Demon's Shuriken, specially made of fine steel, costs ten thousand taels."
"Give me ten rounds."
"Two more rolls of wire, please."
Sosuke acted as if he were buying cabbages.
This transaction cost more than 200,000 taels of silver.
But he didn't even blink.
Stepping out of the ninja tool shop, Sousuke felt his back straighten completely.
Ten Wind Demon Hand Swords.
This means he had ten opportunities to kill on the battlefield.
With his manipulation skills, he can turn himself into a mobile meat grinder.
……
Waste treatment plant.
Yuanzhao stared at the row of Fumo Shuriken that gleamed with a cold light, forgetting to swallow the wine in his mouth.
"You brat... you went to rob the Daming Prefecture?"
The source is unbelievable.
This level of equipment is something even the elite squads of the Dark Guard wouldn't have.
"Business has been good lately."
Sousuke picked up a Fuma shuriken.
Heavy. Cold.
Teach me. Advanced shuriken wielding techniques.
Genzo put down the bottle, his expression turning serious.
He picked up a Wind Demon Shuriken.
"The Wind Demon Shuriken has three uses."
"The first method is single-control. It involves using a steel wire to control the trajectory of a shuriken and perform a spinning attack. This is a fundamental skill that must be mastered."
"The second type is Shadow Clone Technique. Like the Third Hokage, the Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique, one becomes ten, ten become a hundred. You need to learn the Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique, which is an A-rank ninjutsu. You can't learn it now, and you can't learn it."
"So we'll take another route."
"The third type is the mechanical windmill."
Genzo pointed to the center of the Fuma Shuriken.
"The Wind Demon Shuriken has a built-in launch mechanism."
"If you tie explosive tags to it..."
"When it flies over the enemy's head, use the steel wire to pull the ejection mechanism."
"That will be more than just an enlarged shuriken."
"It's a steel sheet with terrifying destructive power, propelled by the explosive force of the detonating tag!"
Zongsuke's eyes lit up.
This perfectly matches his aesthetic.
Simple, crude, and expensive.
Each detonation tag costs three thousand taels of silver.
If you stick four or five stickers on a Fumo Shuriken...
That was a missile worth tens of thousands of taels of silver.
"I like this," Sosuke said.
"Then let's practice."
Genzo tossed the shuriken to Sousuke.
"No aim practice today."
"Practice bearing weight."
"You must control two Fuma Shuriken simultaneously."
"One in the left hand, one in the right hand."
"Two ghosts knocking on the door."
The weight of the Fuma shuriken is dozens of times that of an ordinary shuriken.
Controlling it requires more than just the trembling of your fingers; it requires the strength of your entire arm and even your back.
Sosuke holds a spool in each hand.
Two enormous Fuma Shuriken are connected by steel wire.
"rise!"
He gave a low shout.
He suddenly flung both hands outwards.
huh-huh-
The two giant blades spun in the air, emitting a chilling sound as they cut through the air.
Centrifugal force is extremely powerful.
Sosuke felt as if his arm was about to be torn off.
His feet sank deep into the mud, and he leaned back to resist the pull.
Don't fight it!
Genzo shouted from the side.
"Go with its flow!"
"Draw a circle with your left hand, and a square with your right!"
"Let the two swords create complementary trajectories in the air, using each other's strength!"
It's so hard.
This is like drawing a circle with your left hand and a square with your right, while simultaneously holding two dumbbells.
Sosuke's brain was working at lightning speed.
He was calculating the angular momentum of two rotating objects.
He loosened the wire in his left hand slightly, allowing the shuriken to draw a large arc and bypass the obstacle.
The steel wire in his right hand tightened suddenly, causing the sword in his hand to stop abruptly, change direction, and cut straight down the center.
This is a micro-management technique that can split a person's brain in two.
In that instant when he was distracted...
The shuriken in his left hand went out of control.
It crashed into a pile of scrap metal and bounced back.
It went straight for Sosuke's head.
"Get out of the way!"
Yuanzao shouted.
Sousuke instinctively wanted to use the substitution technique.
But with both hands gripping the steel wire, it was too late for him to free his hands to form hand seals.
At the critical moment, he suddenly pulled the steel wire on his right hand.
The shuriken on the right flew back like a shield.
when!
Sparks flew everywhere.
The two enormous Fuma Shuriken clashed violently a meter in front of Sousuke.
The immense impact knocked Sosuke to the ground.
But he smiled.
"It's blocked."
Genzo ran over, glanced at the two swords on the ground, and then at Sosuke, who was covered in dust.
"Are you out of your mind? You dare to get distracted while practicing the Wind Demon Shuriken!"
The blades of those two Fuma Shuriken were already bent.
Even a fine steel weapon costing ten thousand taels of silver is as fragile as a biscuit under high-speed impact.
If Sosuke were hit, his fate would be predictable.
"The key to the 'Double Ghosts Knocking on the Door' strategy lies in 'attacking from both sides'."
The source repeats the trick again.
"The knife on the left blocks movement, the knife on the right reaps heads."
"You need to build a dynamic map in your mind."
The next half day.
Sosuke almost ruined his arm from training.
The two Fuma Shuriken weigh a total of ten kilograms.
Under the influence of centrifugal force, it's equivalent to holding two running bulls in your hands.
The medicinal cocoon couldn't withstand the immense friction, and his tiger's mouth split open, bleeding profusely.
Through repeated failures, Sosuke finally figured it out.
That is—rhythm.
The left hand is half a beat slower, and the right hand is half a beat faster.
By utilizing the time difference, the two knives are made to form a dazzling intersecting trajectory in the air.
When you think the knife on the left is about to cut your neck, it's actually a feint, designed to force you to dodge to the right.
The knife on the right is already there, waiting for you, like a ghost with its mouth wide open.
This is the "Double Ghosts Knocking on the Door".
It's not that two knives are cutting at the same time, but rather that one knife drives a person into the mouth of the other.
When Sousuke successfully drew a perfect figure-eight-shaped death corridor in the air with his two Fuma shuriken for the first time, shredding the dummy into pieces.
He got it.
Murder is, in fact, a way of solving a problem.
Know the enemy's speed and dodging habits.
Determine the angle of the steel wire and the landing point of the shuriken.
If the calculations are accurate, even without using the technique of tying a tight knot, these two enormous meat grinders alone would be enough to sweep across the battlefield of Chunin and below.
"It's done."
Yuanzhao looked at the pile of debris.
"It seems you have a real talent for spatial awareness. Your firepower has already surpassed that of an average genin."
"As long as you don't encounter someone who excels in Earth Release for defense or Lightning Release for speed, you're invincible at mid-range."
That's all for today. Go back and take good care of your hands.
"Tomorrow's training won't require your hands, so be on time."
