No matter what, Konoha-style swordsmanship is actually a type of Taijutsu thats used alongside a weapon.
Plus, Shigen's system has a very interesting characteristic.
That is, if he achieves is a power under the an existing system category, as long as he masters it or gets a reward, he can directly integrate it and exert the strength of the current level!
Just like his Water Release and Earth Release, when the level goes up, he can exert the same strength even if he learns new techniques of those elements!
Looking at it this way, his cheat seems to be really powerful, but the key problem lies in... Free Points
Free points are not easy to obtain, and they are completely based on the difficulty of the mission. Only the missions that challenge him completely yield free points.
And if he is not careful, he may be really die trying to get them... It was a dangerous game.
"But this time's reward is a bit interesting…"
Shigen's mission reward this time was obtained through Yugao, which allowed him to obtain some of this senpai's skills
"Three Day Moon Dance, Hazy Night, and Konoha-style Continuous Slash?"
The first two are okay, but the last one made him look confused. He seems to remember that this is something from a certain krypton gold game?
But it doesn't matter what it is, the important thing is that these abilities can also enrich his combat power.
If you add the mission rewards that Hiruzen Sarutobi promised to give him, then this mission was truly rewarding for him
"What's wrong?" As they walked through the streets of Konoha, Yugao, who had already changed her clothes, looked at Shigen, who seemed a little distracted.
With some doubts, she asked softly. "Why do I feel like you are absent-minded?"
"It's nothing, I was just thinking about those injured teammates and those who didn't come back." Shigen immediately shook his head, making a sighing expression as he made a reasonable excuse.
His words made Yugao ponder for a moment as she said in a somber voice "This is the destiny of ANBU. We all knew about this before we signed up. Because we are the people who stand at the forefront of defending Konoha from its enemies"
"I understand, Senpai." Shigen quickly nodded, he didn't want to be lectured more as he continued with his words. "We walk in the dark night, serving the light, this is the life of ANBU!"
"Serving the light, this is ANBU…" Yugao was somewhat moved when she heard these words. Didn't this simple sentence vividly interpret the meaning of ANBU? Their Shinobi way?
She found that this young man who had just joined ANBU seemed to understand ANBU even more than herself!
You know, it has been two years since she joined ANBU, In that time, she rarely spent time thinking about her own Shinobi way...
Thinking of this, Yugao felt a little down. But fortunately, Shigen was not a depressing person, under his carefully selected words, they quickly found many common topics, and the atmosphere suddenly became lively between them, which also allowed Shigen to have a good understanding of this senpai's situation.
For example, this senpai likes to appreciate flowers, is enthusiastic about swordsmanship, and has some views on their close friends of the same period, etc.
In short, Yugao spoke very seriously, and Shigen listened with relish.
"I must ask Senpai for advice on swordsmanship when I have the opportunity"
"Of course, no problem, and just call me Yugao, but use code names when working."
The two talked and laughed all the way, especially when Yugao heard that Shigen was also interested in swordsmanship, which made her even happier.
Before long, they had already arrived in front of Ichiraku Ramen's stall.
Probably because it was past dinner time, there were not many people here at this time, but Shigen unexpectedly found a blond little boy standing under the eaves next to him.
This kid was stroking his hungry belly, while looking towards Ichiraku Ramen.
"That kid…"
Yugao couldn't help but frowned when she saw this little guy's figure. Obviously, she didn't know much about Naruto either.
Like many people in the village, she would more or less have some disgusted emotions in her heart.
"What's wrong with that kid?"
Shigen already knew what was going on, as such he deliberately blinked and asked.
"Haven't you heard those rumors?" She said solemnly as it was now Yugao's turn to look at Shigen in confusion.
"According to rumors, that kid is the incarnation of the Nine-Tailed Fox. He was the culprit five years ago!"
Five years ago, the Nine-Tailed Fox appeared and brought endless disasters to Konoha. Not only did the Fourth Hokage couple die in battle, but also many ninjas and civilians died.
'Obito really fked Konoha, didn't he?' Shigen thought as he spoke up with a curious expression "Then, if he's a nine-tailed fox incarnate, why is he still allowed to stay in Konoha?"
Yugao was stunned for a moment before speaking righteously. "That's because Lord Hokage is merciful and doesn't want to bother with the kid?"
"Is that really so?" Shigen looked like he didn't quite understand what she was trying to say.
"But even if Lord Hokage is merciful, he can't ignore the safety of other residents and leave such a disaster behind, can he? What if he suddenly becomes Nine-Tails once again?" He asked doubtfully.
"This..." Shigen's words immediately left Yugao speechless, and she didn't know how to answer for a moment.
Back then, she had seen the devastation of Konoha after being attacked by the Nine-Tails and had attended the Fourth Hokage's funeral. She understood how dangerous the Nine-Tails was.
So, why would Lord Hokage continue to let him stay in Konoha?
Seeing Yugao's expression, Shigen immediately understood that, probably, with Yugao's ANBU level, she wasn't privy to Naruto's Jinchuriki status.
In fact, Shigen's level was the same.
Danzo hadn't arranged for him to come into contact with anything about the Jinchuriki.
But he was a transmigrator, and as a self righteous man, what's there to be afraid of?
He wasn't one of those Uchiha psychopaths!
He was loyal, serving Konoha, a 'humble public tool'.
Besides, Danzo probably couldn't wait for him to come into contact with Naruto.
"So, Senpai, don't doubt the wisdom of the Third Hokage."
Shigen smiled as he then patted Yugao's shoulder with familiarly.
"Rumors are just rumors. As ANBU, we must always believe in Lord Hokage. Senior, you don't think Lord Hokage would put Konoha in danger, do you?"
"This... of course not... Also, just call me Yugao." Yugao hesitated for a moment, not knowing whether it was Shigen's sudden action or his words that made her think differently of this moment.
She didn't know how to refute it now, because once she refuted it, it seemed like she was 'questioning Lord Hokage', which went against the ideology of an ANBU!
It was just that the rumors of many years made her feel a little uneasy, but Shigen didn't care so much. He had already pulled Yugao straight towards Naruto.
At this time, Naruto hadn't noticed anyone walking towards him. He was troubledly counting the coins in his shriveled frog purse as a voice spoke up from behind him.
"Eh? How come there's so little? It's not even enough for a single bowl of ramen."
