Chapter 396 Overseas Stories
Chapter 396 Overseas Stories
There are many things I've seen and heard on the high seas; even if I only pick out the more important ones, it would take a long time to tell them all.
But Ye Yu was an excellent listener. He showed almost no impatience and was full of curiosity about the things on the sea. This world was indeed different from the Naruto world.
There have been far too many strange people, events, and things.
Yoru barely trained at Isshin Dojo anymore, and Shimotsuki Koshiro didn't say anything. He knew very well that Yoru no longer needed him.
Although they had never fought, he knew very well that Ye Yu's strength was definitely above his at this moment.
He was only a master for two days.
If he knew Kakashi from the Naruto world, he would definitely have the same feeling as Kakashi. Ye Yu's master never had much time to teach Ye Yu, never more than a year.
Because Yoru will surpass his teacher within a year, and his teacher is no longer able to teach Yoru anything.
If we're talking about the teacher Yoruha served for the longest time, it would probably be Iruka.
After all, he had taught Ye Yu for a full six years.
Shimotsuki Kosaburo returned to Isshin Dojo alone, while Yoru stayed with him, listening to his stories about the sea and helping him forge a sword.
Because the purpose was to forge a precious sword for Ye Yu, Ye Yu explicitly refused, as his swordsmanship did not require a famous sword, or even a sword at all.
Whether it's a sharp knife, an ordinary knife, a common wooden stick, or even a fingertip, he can unleash unparalleled swordsmanship.
Of course, having a famous sword will indeed increase the strength of swordsmanship.
However, Shimotsuki Kozaburo insisted on forging a sword for Yoru that was comparable to a famous sword. Yoru had no choice but to stay by his side and assist him.
When Shimotsuki Koshiro returned to Isshin Dojo, Kuina, who was training in the sword-training area, ran over, her face covered in sweat; she was training very hard.
Kuina, who had run over, immediately asked, "Father, isn't Yoru coming today?"
Although his tone was calm, he was filled with doubt and disappointment.
Shimotsuki Koshiro thought of Yoru's extraordinary talent and felt a pang of sympathy for his daughter as he looked at Kuina working so hard.
"Sigh, I really don't want to tell her about Ye Yu's current strength. If Kuina knew about Ye Yu's current strength, she would feel despair and collapse."
Thinking of this, Shimotsuki Koshiro didn't mention Yoru's matter, but smiled and said, "I sent him to help your grandfather. It will also help him train his strength and learn more advanced swordsmanship."
"His talent is quite good, and your grandfather is quite satisfied with him. He probably won't be coming to the Isshin Dojo for a while."
Not wanting to see his daughter disappointed, Shimotsuki Koshiro had no choice but to lie to her.
Kuina had no doubt; Yoru had already proven last week that he was indeed very strong.
Helping out at his grandfather's sword-making workshop would definitely help him build strength.
Kuina was a little disappointed. "How long will it be before he comes back?"
Shimotsuki Koshiro looked at his daughter; she had never paid so much attention to anyone before.
"Guina, aren't you being a little too concerned about him?"
Shimotsuki Koshiro found it strange that his daughter had developed such a liking for Yoru after only two days of getting to know each other.
When Guina was asked that question, she immediately looked embarrassed.
"I... I'm just concerned about my classmate. Besides, my father said that he has great talent. I see him as my future rival, so of course I'll pay attention to him."
However, this explanation could not fool Shimotsuki Koushirou.
Kuina's expression said it all.
Shimotsuki Koshiro asked with a hint of helplessness, "Do you like him?"
Although it's a bit too early to ask my nine-year-old daughter such a question, that's just how the world is—all sorts of abilities exist, and Kuina is very precocious; she must already have feelings for Yoru.
Of course, Shimotsuki Koshiro didn't object to Kuina liking Yoru, but when he thought about Yoru's talent, he realized that the gap between the two would only widen in the future. Kuina liked Yoru, but when the gap between them grew larger, would Yoru be willing to accept Kuina?
When Shimotsuki Koshiro thought about Yoru's character, he believed in him.
But wouldn't it be exhausting for the two of them to be together?
In an instant, Shimotsuki Koshiro had already thought about decades later.
Kuina was stunned when she heard her own words.
His face was flushed.
He stammered, "Father, what nonsense are you talking about? How could I possibly like him? My heart is only set on the way of the sword, on my dream of becoming the world's greatest swordsman. I don't think about anything else."
Looking at his daughter, whose face couldn't hide her true thoughts, Shimotsuki Koshiro smiled and said, "But your expression doesn't match what you're saying."
"Forget it, what's so strange about liking him? That kid is good-looking, very talented, and a good person. If you two get together in the future, it wouldn't be bad to run this dojo together."
This was, of course, a joke by Shimotsuki Koushirou.
Having learned of Ye Yu's talent, how could he possibly still think that Ye Yu would stay in this small dojo?
But when Kuina heard this, her face turned so red it was almost bleeding.
I almost fainted.
She never imagined that her father would say such shameful things.
However, she did have feelings for Ye Yu that were different from those for others.
Whether it was Ye Yu's talent, the feeling Ye Yu gave her, or Ye Yu's good looks, which made a good first impression on her.
She did feel that Ye Yu was different from other boys.
Yoru quite enjoyed spending time with Shimotsuki Kozaburo.
Although the living conditions were poor, he was able to learn a lot about the sea from Shimotsuki Kozaburo.
And some things about Wano Country.
However, Ye Yu felt that the pinnacle of power in this world was not as great as that in the Naruto world.
Even excluding Yoru, the Otsutsuki clan that Yoru fought before leaving the Naruto world was incredibly powerful.
That's a terrifying being who can casually destroy stars; the patriarch of the Otsutsuki clan can even wipe out a galaxy with a flick of his wrist.
Although it was easily destroyed by Yoru in the end, its terrifying power was something that the pirate world could not even imagine.
Of course, the strongest individuals in the One Piece world are indeed not as powerful as those in the Naruto world, but among the middle and upper-level strong individuals, the One Piece world can definitely suppress most of the strong individuals of the same level in the Naruto world.
There are ninjas in this world too, in Wano Country.
The strength of those ninjas described by Shimotsuki Kozaburo would definitely be Kage-level in the Naruto world, or even among Kage-level powerhouses.
However, this world is not primarily based on ninjutsu. Even so, the ninjas in this world can all train to the level of a Kage. One can imagine how strong the strong people in this world are, apart from the top combat power.
Even Ye Yu could sense that the domineering aura of this world was absolutely superior to the genjutsu of the Naruto world. Of course, this was only in terms of power intensity; the two worlds had different forms of power expression, so they couldn't be compared.
However, the characteristics and strength of Haki in this world mean that, in the Naruto world, even Mangekyou Sharingan-level genjutsu would have absolutely no effect on the top-tier Haki of this world.
This is the conclusion that Yoruha came to.
The strong in this world possess ridiculously strong mental power, to the point that they can even materialize their aura, rather than relying on energy bursts. One can only imagine how absurdly strong their mental will is.
