#279 - Evolved Sanada
However, just as Doron was about to return the shot, the tennis ball curved!
After evading Doron's racket, it curved again, slamming directly into the ground!
“15:0!”
“30:0!”
“40:0!”
“Game, Team Japan, score 3:0!”
“Game, Team Japan, score 4:0!”
“Game, Team Japan, score 5:0!”
The referee's voice rang out.
Just then.
Doron suddenly knelt on the ground, writhing in pain.
“For the past twelve years, day after day, I've devoted all my energy to training in ninjutsu, but now…”
Doron said, tears streaming down his face, “Does this mean that foreigners like me are truly incapable of becoming ninjas?”
Sanada Genichirou watched Doron in silence for a moment.
“Pick up your racket!”
Sanada Genichirou looked at Doron coldly and said in a deep voice, “Dropping your weapon before the match is over is a violation of the Bushido spirit!”
“This has nothing to do with whether you are a foreigner or Japanese.”
“Master…”
Doron looked at Sanada Genichirou, determination appearing in his eyes: “I will heed your teachings!”
Yukimura smiled faintly, “His endurance has been honed through considerable hardship.”
“But he deliberately chose doubles; he's the kind of person who bravely confronts his own tennis to find the answer.”
“Direction, huh? Right now, he won't lose to anyone.”
On the court.
Baseline.
“Accept your fate, Doron!”
Sanada Genichirou said.
Immediately, the tennis ball flew into the sky, his arm slightly bent, he leaped up and swung!
Bang! The astonishing force instantly caused the tennis ball to produce a visible wisp of blue smoke, and the tennis ball flew towards the net as swiftly as an arrow.
“For my grandmother who is waiting for me to return home!”
Doron said firmly, “Even if it's just one ball, I will return it!”
At this moment.
The tennis ball flew directly out of the court!
“Service fault!”
“Double fault! 15:0!”
The referee's voice rang out.
“That's rare! Sanada making such a mistake!”
Niou Masaharu's expression changed.
“Double fault!”
“Double fault!”
“Game, Team France, score 5:1!”
“Game, Team France, score 5:2!”
The referee announced.
“Vice-Captain?”
Kirihara Akaya was stunned; he didn't expect Sanada Genichirou to be scored on consecutively.
“It's rare to see Sanada making consecutive service faults like that; I've never seen it before.”
Kite Eishirou was also a little shocked.
At the same time, on the court.
“That thing, could it be!?”
Sanada Genichirou looked in the direction of Doron's racket, then widened his eyes in shock and said, “The Enchanting Tumbler 209g!?”
“Although that thing isn't anything particularly valuable, it's quite popular among collectors and very hard to get.”
Yanagi Renji also opened his eyes at this moment and said, “We've been looking for it all along!”
“Where did you get this thing!?”
Sanada Genichirou was not his usual self at this moment, asking very cautiously.
The expression on his face clearly showed that he wanted it. “I have two; I'll take one out as a gift for you!”
Doron said with a smile on his face.
Hearing this, Sanada Genichirou was stunned.
Then, he silently accepted the tumbler.
“Really?”
Sanada Genichirou said in a deep voice, “Thank you!”
The match continued.
“Game, Team France, score 5:3!”
“Game, Team France, score 5:4!”
“Game, Team France, score 5:5!”
The referee announced.
At this moment, Sanada Genichirou realized that he was no longer able to swing his racket and hit the tennis ball normally.
Even his serves would result in faults, allowing Doron to score.
“It's finally starting.”
Camus said faintly, “The truly fearsome thing about his tennis isn't the flashy ninjutsu, but the Five Wheels Technique!”
“Speechless.”
Oomagari Ryuuji said with a solemn expression, “That ninja actually knows the Five Wheels Technique!”
“Ryuuji, what is that Five Wheels Technique?”
Taneshima Shuuji looked at Oomagari Ryuuji and asked.
“This match is dangerous.”
Oomagari Ryuuji explained, “The Five Wheels Technique is a psychological warfare tactic that cleverly manipulates the opponent's joys, sorrows, and inner emotions; it's the most terrifying kind of strategic tennis!”
“What Sanada is currently experiencing is the Wheel of Fear, the most unwanted.”
“By conveying to the opponent the facts they least want to touch upon and the worst possible outcomes, it successively defeats the opponent's fighting will.”
“Although I don't want to admit it, the outcome of this match has already been decided.”
Hearing this, everyone's expressions became solemn.
On the court.
Doron returned the shot.
When the tennis ball returned to Sanada Genichirou's court, he still stood in place, letting the tennis ball slam into the ground.
Just then.
“Unfathomable as Shadow!”
Sanada Genichirou's figure disappeared from the spot.
He raised his arm above his head and chopped down at the tennis ball!
“This is a gesture of respect; let me tell you about my philosophy of tennis!”
As Sanada Genichirou's voice rang out.
Bang! The tennis ball disappeared on the court with a faint arc of electricity, and the next second the tennis ball had already bounced out of the court!
“15:0!”
The referee announced.
“I will face you head-on, and I will fight and subdue you in the way I am best at!”
Sanada Genichirou said faintly.
Looking at Sanada Genichirou's eyes, Doron immediately understood.
All along, Sanada Genichirou had been pretending to be affected by the Five Wheels Technique.
In fact, Doron himself had been deceived.
“Alright.”
Doron said with a serious look, “From now on, I accept your frontal challenge!”
Baseline.
Sanada Genichirou tossed the tennis ball into the air and swung his racket the moment the tennis ball fell!
Bang! The sound of the ball being hit rang out, and the tennis ball flew out instantly with a trail of afterimages.
Doron hit the tennis ball back!
Sanada Genichirou got into position and silently recited a few words: “As swift as…”
“Master! I know it!”
Doron had already begun to move quickly at this moment: “It's ‘As swift as the wind,’ right!”
“As swift as a storm!”
Instantly!
A storm swept across the entire court, and the tennis ball, enhanced by the wind, flew violently!
In an instant, the tennis ball had already flown out of the court!
“A storm?!”
Doron's expression changed.
“30:0!”
The referee's voice rang out.
“Sanada's Wind, Forest, Fire, Mountain has evolved into Storm, Forest, Flame, Peak!”
Yanagi Renji said in shock.
“That kid Sanada is really something.”
Taneshima Shuuji's expression changed, “Not only has he improved his endurance, but he has also raised his technique itself to a new level?”
“Come at me!”
Sanada Genichirou looked at Doron and said faintly.
“I'm really, really unwilling!” Master!”
The determination in Doron's eyes appeared: “There's no other way!”
“For the French team members who trust me and sent me onto the court.”
Hearing this, Camus was shocked!
And at this moment, Doron had already begun to form hand seals!
“Although this technique is forbidden by my grandmother back home, but!”
Doron thought to himself.
“Rin, Pyou, Tou, Sha, Kai, Jin, Retsu, Zai, Zen!”
“Rin, Pyou, Tou, Sha, Kai, Jin, Retsu, Zai, Zen!”
“Rin, Pyou, Tou, Sha, Kai, Jin, Retsu, Zai, Zen!”
At this moment, as Doron chanted the incantation, distortions began to appear around him!
This feeling gave people a very uncomfortable sensation.
Even Sanada Genichirou's eyes carried a solemn look at this moment!
