Chapter 13
As for not being able to cut through the target with a single sword strike—it simply means the opponent is worth taking seriously.
Swordsmanship, to Saitama, is only a small part of his overall plan. Ninjutsu is the true king's path. In fact, he sees his Sharingan as the main direction of his future development.
Swordsmanship is merely a stopgap—something to make up for his lack of power in the early stages.
Art? It's fine, but not the priority.
After finishing his sword practice for the day, Saitama pulled out his kunai and shuriken.
To master kunai and shuriken throwing, one must develop muscle memory until they move as extensions of the fingers. It takes time and patience—but Saitama was confident in his talent.
Even after just his first afternoon of instruction, guided by a few simple explanations from the Academy instructor—and helped along by the knowledge he carried from his previous life—he could already use them proficiently after only a few attempts.
With continued practice, he believed Shurikenjutsu Specialization and Kunai Mastery wouldn't be far off.
Gripping a kunai in hand, Saitama held it like a miniature sword.
His hands were still too small.
This metal kunai was the real thing, unlike the lightweight wooden ones provided at the Academy, and it was much harder to handle.
