The Shadow of Konoha

"Lord Hanyu, even if we have to fight the opponent, close combat is the worst option. Judging from the enemy's attack and counterattack, this ninja is a veteran of many battles. Lord Hanyu, recklessness is not bravery. Now that you have understood the opponent's strength, we should evacuate quickly." Katsuyu said in Hanyu's ear, and it gave practical suggestions.

Although her tone was still gentle, her voice already contained a hint of blame for Hanyu.

Katsuyu is not an ordinary psychic beast. Although it always calls Hanyu "Sir", if we really care about the identities of both parties, Hanyu should be the more humble one.

Hanyu could also understand why Katsuyu had such an attitude at this moment, because his fighting method just now was not correct. There was no need for him to rush into the face of the enemy in front of him. This was a wrong battle judgment, but... he would still do so next.

"Katsuyu, I didn't rush directly in front of the opponent because I was too confident in my speed. If you want to explain my motive, it's actually very simple. Answering one question can explain everything clearly, that is... Can a ninja not know Taijutsu?"

"…"

Katsuyu doesn't need to answer this question at all. A ninja who is not good at physical skills is almost useless. Even the crippled man with a pair of mosquito-repellent eyes later, why did he make six life-size figures and why did he need someone to protect him all the time? Because even if he had the power of eyes that could see through the sky and the earth, without those arrangements, he would even be considered a useless person.

A ninja must be proficient in physical skills, but Hanyu's current physical skills are extremely poor.

"So this kind of opportunity is really rare, to fight against an enemy who has experienced hundreds of battles. As long as I can survive in the end, I will at least be a practical ninja who has experienced fifty battles." Hanyu continued to explain.

Battle-hardened is just an adjective, while battle-hardened fifty times is a halving of the state described by this word .

There is no room for mages to survive on the battlefield of ninjas, but Hanyu's physical skills are basically zero. He has only been a ninja for a short time, that is, he has not systematically studied physical skills in the ninja school, and the number of times he has relied on physical skills in the battlefield is also very limited. Therefore, let alone being a practical fighter, he is not even an academic fighter.

If one day he has to face a physical training ninja and encounters a situation where he cannot turn his back and escape, how can he ensure his own survival?

The answer is no.

"Your attack mode is completely simple, direct and linear. You have excellent qualities, but your body coordination is not fully utilized, and even the timing of your ninjutsu releases is not precise... I take back my previous opinion of you. It turns out that you are not the next generation of ninja carefully trained by Konoha. On the contrary, you are a young ninja who has awakened chakra not long ago. You use as many ninjutsu as you can and rush at whatever speed you have. Your actual combat ability is too poor." Ryu said. He realized Hanyu's true nature.

But precisely because of this, instead of lowering his evaluation of Hanyu, he raised it, because experience can make up for it, but quality is extremely rare... The young Hanyu is already threatening enough on the battlefield, so how can he be allowed to continue to grow?

"Your foundation is very poor. It may seem like you have built a tall building, but it is only in appearance. In fact, it is just a castle in the air without any foundation."

This Konoha ninja must be eliminated.

Ryu made up his mind at this time.

If we remove Hanyu's special way of casting spells, his chakra strength and chakra capacity that are unlike those of a novice, the number of jutsu he has mastered, and the bonus given to him by the high-speed attribute, then Hanyu's most fundamental situation is directly analyzed and presented - he is actually not much stronger than the students in the ninja school.

This is what the enemy calls "no foundation".

It has to be said that due to some of his own characteristics, Hanyu's fighting style is very creative, and it is not an exaggeration to even call it subversive. But it is also because of this that his high-speed Thunder Release Ninjutsu, coupled with the tactics of throwing Ninjutsu around in a mess, perfectly conceals his shortcomings.

His Lightning Style and Water Style: Mikage Daizoroku are excellent ninjutsu templates that can almost lay the foundation for him to become an excellent taijutsu ninja, however the problem is that his use of this technique has been very low-end and inefficient so that rather than calling it a ninjutsu, it is better to say that Hanyu has been using it as a high-speed movement skill. Surging into the face, throwing skills, and retreating are his three main skills. In a sense, the efficiency of his Lightning Style Ninjutsu in close combat is not even as good as the most basic Flickering Technique... which is what the other party said, he is too linear.

It's just that the enemy can see such shortcomings, and Hanyu himself naturally knows it better. In the advanced ninja battlefield, his previous tactics may not be suitable. And as the enemies he encounters continue to upgrade, one day his three-pronged strategy will become ineffective.

Therefore, Hanyu wants to overcome his weaknesses.

Playing to one's own strengths and avoiding one's own weaknesses and learning from others' strengths to make up for one's own weaknesses, these two approaches are actually equal. It is hard to say which one is right and which one is wrong. The reason why Hanyu chose the latter is simply because he is too greedy.

If he had the possibility of becoming a well-rounded ninja, how could he be content to be only a specialized ninja? This idea of his had not just emerged a long time ago, but was something that was not difficult to see before, for example, he valued the jonin and ignored the special jonin, in fact, he valued the comprehensive ability and did not care about the characteristics of the specialty, for another example, he even studied illusion.

Everything Hanyu did was not just for survival as he said.

Regardless of the ninjutsu of this Rain Ninja in front of him, at least his perception and physical skills are really strong, so Hanyu decided to fight with him.

"But no matter what, you are right about one thing, Katsuyu. We have to retreat for the time being. I feel like I broke at least one rib with the opponent's attack just now, but... I hope the opponent can catch up." Hanyu said to the slug.

Katsuyu no longer knows how to respond to Hanyu's actions and decisions. If you say he is reckless, you still have to admire his determination to become stronger and his courage to challenge strong enemies. But if you say you admire his courage, his behavior is ultimately reckless.

You have to know that there is nothing fancy about physical skills. No matter how good a ninja's physical fitness is or how much combat training he has undergone, excellent physical skills can only be obtained through a lot of actual combat experience. No physical skill ninja's physical skills can exceed his actual combat experience.

Hanyu has a strong learning ability, but does he really realize that learning Taijutsu is different from learning Ninjutsu? Katsuyu had to doubt this.

The powerful lightning chakra that was escaping from Hanyu's body was slowly retracted. He glanced at the enemy, then turned around and fled backwards...

Rather than running away, it would be more appropriate to say that he was trying to deal with the other party.

He wasn't using full speed.

I have no intention of leaving the Land of Rain either.

I hope the other party can keep up...

He just wanted to find a place to temporarily treat his injuries, and then continue to fight with the opponent... Fighting with a tug of war is what Hanyu is best at, although his pulling this time is completely different from the previous ones.

Kite tactics are the basic tactics for attacking BOSS, although Hanyu's kite method is to escape for a distance to recover, and then continue to rush forward to A with the opponent.

His battle was difficult, but he was a greedy person. In Hanyu's eyes, the opponent was not a powerful enemy, but a walking experience bag.

He was reluctant to give up such a sumptuous meal.

"He's following."

Sure enough, Hanyu found that the other party was following him. His hesitant and dragging figure was clearly trying to lure the other party to continue chasing him, and the enemy had no reason to give up such a pursuit.

But is it something to be happy about that the enemy has caught up with us?

At this point, it is still unclear who will eat whom.
