Chapter 7
In September, the Ninja Academy Opens!
A week had passed since Shisui and Saitama had that barbecue together.
Shisui's father had also agreed to Saitama's request, so from then on, Saitama would visit Shisui's house in the mornings to practice swordsmanship together.
The origin of Shisui's sword techniques had quite an impressive background.
Shisui's grandfather, Uchiha Kami, had once been a member of the Konoha Military Police Force and had also served as part of the Second Hokage's elite guard unit.
The sword style they practiced, the Konoha-ryū Kenjutsu, had its roots in the style used by the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, who was renowned for his mastery of both Water Release and kenjutsu.
One of the most famous inheritors of this style was the so-called "Eternal Genin" Kosuke Maruboshi, a legendary figure who, like Might Duy, earned respect not through rank, but through perseverance and skill.
Therefore, if one mastered this sword style, they could certainly stand among the elite!
Saitama also kept up his chakra refinement and hand seal practice without slacking.
His chakra control was improving steadily, and his proficiency with hand seals was becoming more fluid by the day.
Although he had yet to formally learn ninjutsu, he often read through the scrolls his late parents had left behind, practicing the basic techniques such as the Transformation Jutsu, Substitution Jutsu, and Clone Jutsu, which were commonly referred to as the Three Basic Academy Techniques.
