Naruto: Releasing Chakra Limits at the Start

Chapter 401 Goodbye Shanks

Guina stood there for a long time, unable to believe that she had actually lost, and not only that, but that she had lost so badly.

Was Yoru really serious just now?

He was defeated with just one strike. He had studied and cultivated for so many years, yet he was still no match for Ye Yu, who had only studied for a few months.

This is no longer a difference in talent between men and women, but a difference between a monster and an ordinary genius.

Guina knew very well that even among men, most were mediocre, and she was competing against the geniuses among men.

But Kuina didn't think that a genius could have such terrifying talent as Yoru.

Ye Yu sheathed the bamboo sword and smiled, "Now you believe me, right? I'll come back to see you when I have time. Goodbye."

Kuina remained silent, her gaze towards Yoru filled with disbelief; she had not yet recovered from the competition.

Or was that really a competition?

Ye Yu didn't even use her full strength, did she?

The gap between them is surprisingly large.

Kuina remained silent for a long time.

Watching Yoru leave, Kuina wanted to say something, but in the end she only said, "See you later."

Ye Yu smiled, waved his hand, and left the dojo.

Standing at the entrance of the dojo, watching the departing figure, she gripped the bamboo sword in her hand.

Only after Yoru's figure disappeared from sight did Shimotsuki Koshiro walk up to Kuina and pat her on the shoulder, saying, "Yoru is no ordinary person."

Guina nodded.

"The gap between us is so huge, it's unbelievable. It's not just a difference in strength between men and women, it's the difference between an ordinary person and a monster."

Shimotsuki Koshiro laughed and said, "Do you know what grade his sword is?"

Guina turned to look at her father, but said nothing.

She knew that if her father said that, then the knife must be something special.

Shimotsuki Koshiro exclaimed, "That's a demon sword that surpasses even the Supreme Grade Swords, according to your grandfather."

Kuina was stunned. "How is that possible? That was the first sword he forged. How could it be so amazing? Reaching the level of a 'Good' sword is already very strong, isn't it?"

"Besides, what level is a Supreme Grade Sword? As for surpassing a Supreme Grade Sword, that's impossible, isn't it? How could someone surpass a Supreme Grade Sword on their first forging?"

Shimotsuki Koshiro exclaimed, "Didn't you notice that the sword was entirely black?"

Kuina nodded. "Yes, it is indeed somewhat eerie."

Shimotsuki Koshiro explained, "That's not the natural color of that sword. Even the Supreme Grade Swords aren't black when they're forged; they're silver-white."

"However, the Haki of powerful individuals who wield Supreme Grade Swords is usually extremely strong. They can use Haki to nurture the sword, and a famous sword nurtured by Haki will become darker and darker, eventually becoming a pure black sword."

"At this point, the strength of the knife reached its limit. Even if hundreds of tons of weight were placed on it, the knife would not deform in the slightest. The strength of the knife had reached an unbelievable level."

"The sword that Ye Yu forged was already a black sword from the moment it was created, and it also incorporated Ye Yu's domineering aura, so the sword itself carried a terrifying domineering aura."

"This is something even the most famous swords don't possess."

Kuina looked puzzled. "What is 'domineering aura'?"

Because Kuina hadn't reached the stage of learning Haki, Shimotsuki Koshiro hadn't talked to her about Haki.

Shimotsuki Koshiro explained what domineering aura is.

After hearing this, Guina was even more shocked.

"So, Ye Yu is actually much stronger than I thought?"

Shimotsuki Koshiro nodded. "He has now reached at least the level of a swordsman. With the enhancement of the sword in his hand, he might even be able to exchange blows with a great swordsman for a few rounds."

Because Shimotsuki Koushirou had never seen Yoru's sword cleave the sea, he believed that Yoru had reached the level of a swordsman.

However, the level of the swordsman is already very powerful.

In Shimotsuki Koushirou's conjecture, Yoru's strength was among the best of all swordsmen.

Kuina's gaze sharpened slightly. "I haven't even reached the standard of a swordsman yet."

Kuina is an excellent swordswoman, but that's only the initial stage of swordsmanship.

She hadn't reached the standard of a swordsman yet, but now Ye Yu had actually reached the level of a sword master, two levels higher than her.

I wonder what Kuina would think if she knew that Yoru had actually reached the level of a great swordsman.

Kuina gripped the bamboo sword in her hand. "I need to work harder. I can't fall too far behind him. I'm going to become the world's greatest swordsman. If I can't even surpass Yoru, how can I possibly become the world's greatest swordsman?"

Guina did not lose confidence; on the contrary, she became even more motivated to work hard.

Upon hearing Kuina's words, Shimotsuki Koshiro sighed inwardly, "You don't know the huge gap between you and him. Sigh, Kuina hopes that you won't be discouraged when you grow up."

Yoru is destined to become a great swordsman, but Kuina's future is uncertain; she may not even reach the level of a great swordsman, let alone become the world's greatest swordsman.

However, Shimotsuki Koshiro didn't say it aloud; he didn't want to discourage her.

Meanwhile, Ye Yu returned to Windmill Village by boat.

It was already dark when we arrived at the windmill village.

The tavern was still brightly lit, which was normal, after all, it was a tavern.

However, Yoru saw the Red-Haired Pirates' ship at the dock, so they should be in the tavern.

Actually, Yoru wasn't familiar with the Red-Haired Pirates. They had only met once before and hadn't even exchanged many words.

Holding the Yuan Blade, he slowly walked into the tavern.

Yuanren means "crossing the boundary." Ye Yu felt that the name "crossing the boundary" was a bit strange, so he changed the name.

Yuanren means his first sword.

Of course, Yoru's first weapon was a specially made kunai given to him by Kakashi.

He just didn't bring the kunai.

Ye Yu pushed open the tavern door with Yuan Ren in hand; the tavern was already full of people.

In an instant, everyone in the tavern turned to look at Ye Yu as he walked in.

Shanks, wearing a straw hat with the brim covering his eyes, was drinking at the bar. He was holding a bottle of liquor. Yoru walked towards the bar.

Shanks smiled slightly.

When Luffy, who was sitting next to her, saw Yoru, he jumped off the bar stool excitedly. "Yoru, you're back! Why are you so late today?"

Although Yoru had returned quite late before, it was never this late.

Yoru walked to the bar, patted Luffy on the head, and placed the Yuan Blade on the bar.

I sat down on a bar stool.

Luffy looked at the Yuan Blade that Yoru had placed on the bar and asked curiously, "Yoru, what's this? Did you buy a sword?"

Luffy felt that this sword gave him a very powerful feeling.

Although its appearance is very simple and rustic, it gives him a very special feeling.

It's as if this knife can cut through anything even if no one is using it.
