Konoha: The Night of the Clan Massacre, I Transmigrated into Two Pirates

13th Street.

Hawkeye stopped and looked at the name of the tavern—Shaggy's Bamboo Bar.

"This is it." He nodded and pushed the door open to enter.

jingle!

The wind chimes on the door made a crisp sound.

Welcome!

In the tavern, Peony looked up and greeted them.

Upon seeing that it was Hawkeye, a smile appeared on her face: "Oh my, isn't this the most famous swordsman lately, Hawkeye Mihawk?"

"Miss Peony." Hawkeye didn't react at all, only nodding slightly.

Then, he looked at Rayleigh sitting at the bar.

"Mr. Rayleigh," Hawkeye said, walking over and sitting down, "where is the person I'm supposed to train?"

"Don't be in such a hurry, sit down and have a drink." Rayleigh smiled and took out a new glass, pouring Hawkeye a glass. "According to custom, that boy should be back in half an hour."

"Is that so?" Hawkeye said, picking up his glass and taking a sip.

After half an hour.

jingle!

The tavern door was pushed open again.

A handsome, tall young man walked in from outside.

He has finished his training and returned.

"Welcome back," Peony said with a smile.

"Junichi, come here..." Rayleigh smiled and beckoned, pointing to Hawkeye sitting next to him, and said, "This is the teacher I invited for you, the hottest new swordsman on the high seas, Hawkeye Mihawk."

Hawkeye Mihawk!?

Upon hearing this, Zhunyi looked over in surprise.

A man with short black hair, sharp eyebrows and eyes as sharp as an eagle sat next to Rayleigh.

The man exuded an extremely dangerous and sharp aura.

It was as if he himself was an unstoppable sword, ready to be drawn at any moment.

"They actually got Hawkeye to teach me?"

Junichi was surprised, thinking to himself, "This is truly unexpected. Did Rayleigh already know Hawkeye at this point in time?"

Despite his surprise, he greeted him with a smile:

"Hello, Mr. Mihawk."

Hawkeye did not respond.

He was also sizing up Junichi, but after only a few glances, his brows furrowed.

No!

Almost instantly, Hawkeye labeled it negative.

This boy is not a swordsman.

I didn't sense any sincerity or passion for the sword from him.

"Mr. Rayleigh, I remember we agreed beforehand..." Hawkeye completely ignored Junichi, turning to Rayleigh, "I don't teach mediocre people!"

He pointed at Zhunyi, his expression grim, and said, "This man isn't even a swordsman. You expect me to teach a complete novice?"

These words were spoken.

The atmosphere in the tavern suddenly cooled down.

"Don't rush."

Rayleigh quickly said, "Zhunyi is talented. He is definitely not mediocre. He just lacks the guidance of a good teacher."

"Yeah, Mihawk, trust Rayleigh's judgment," Peony chimed in.

"Yeah?"

Mihawk remained suspicious, turning to stare at Junichi with distrust.

Both Rayleigh and Peony looked at Junichi with concern.

Anyone would be angry if questioned like that, right?

But to their surprise...

Junichi's expression was calm and composed. He simply chuckled and said, "I am indeed not a swordsman. I used to use a sword crudely, so I need Mr. Mihawk's guidance."

"At least you have some self-awareness," Mihawk snorted.

Junichi's smile remained unchanged, showing no sign of anger.

The strong have reason to be arrogant.

Hawkeye is stronger than him and is more skilled in swordsmanship, so he can freely evaluate him.

Moreover, Hawkeye was right.

He is indeed not a swordsman.

Junichi didn't care about that, as long as he could learn something from Hawkeye and improve his strength.

Say whatever you want.

"Reputations are meaningless; power is what truly matters," Junichi thought to himself.

"Cough cough..."

Rayleigh stood up to smooth things over, saying, "In short, Mihawk, you should teach Junichi first. His talent will definitely satisfy you."

"I hope so." Hawkeye stood up with a cold expression and put his top hat back on.

He looked at Junichi and said coldly, "My time is precious, let's begin now."

"Okay." Junichi nodded with a smile.

His time is equally precious.

"Please follow me, I know a place where no one will bother us." Junichi turned around, opened the door, and walked out of the tavern.

He led the way, with Hawkeye following behind.

The two quickly disappeared.

"well……"

In the tavern, Rayleigh and Peony sighed in unison.

Hawkeye's personality is really troublesome.

I wonder if things go smoothly for the two of them?

"Why are you looking for Mihawk?" Peony said helplessly, "Knowing full well that he has many personality problems."

"This is the best swordsmanship teacher I could find," Rayleigh said innocently, shrugging.

Peony thought about it and realized it made sense, but she felt even more helpless.

"I hope they can get along well," she sighed.

Rayleigh, however, was quite confident, smiling as he said, "Don't worry, once the young master demonstrates his strength, Mihawk's attitude will definitely change."

……

the other side.

Zhun-Yi, accompanied by Hawkeye, arrived at a small tree island where he had recently been cultivating.

There was no one around here.

It is very suitable for cultivation.

"Let's begin." Hawkeye crossed his arms, slightly raised his chin, and said dismissively, "Let me see just how bad you are right now."

"Alright." Junichi calmly drew his ninja sword.

The aggressive intent in Hawkeye's words was automatically filtered out by him.

Swish!

Junichi immediately began demonstrating the Uchiha-style swordsmanship.

This is something he's been learning since elementary school, something he's very familiar with, and he's at the 'proficient' level.

Once unleashed, it emits a dull whistling sound.

Fierce, ruthless, and extremely aggressive.

"..." Hawkeye, standing beside him, frowned more and more deeply.

After Zhunyi finishes his demonstration.

He criticized bluntly, "Is your swordsmanship used in conjunction with some kind of power?"

"wind?"

"fire?"

Hawkeye guessed the secret of the Uchiha-style swordsmanship with a casual guess.

Junichi was secretly surprised.

As expected of a great swordsman, his insight is truly remarkable.

The Uchiha-style swordsmanship must be used in conjunction with Fire Release techniques to unleash its full power.

The essence of this swordsmanship is actually a form of ninjutsu (body control technique).

"It doesn't matter what kind of power it is." A hint of contempt flashed across Hawkeye's face as he said, "Even when combined with other powers, it's just a third-rate thing."

"If we only consider the swordsmanship itself, it is utterly terrible."

"The transitions, rhythm, and execution of the moves are all as rough as a child's scribbling."

Junichi's lips twitched involuntarily.

It's the Uchiha clan, after all, a sword technique passed down for over a thousand years.

There's no need to belittle it so harshly.

"Practicing this kind of thing is pointless." Hawkeye sized up Junichi and said coldly, "I will teach you from the beginning, teach you real swordsmanship."

"Including breathing, footwork, rhythm, power generation, stance..."

"If you follow the right path and dedicate twenty or thirty years to studying, you should have a chance to master 'Iron Cutting' and become a swordsman."

Hawkeye paused for a moment at this point.

He thought for a moment and said, "I won't teach you for too long."

"After about two months, I will leave once I have taught you the correct swordsmanship."

Whether you can get started or not depends on yourself.

Upon hearing this...

Junichi didn't object and nodded directly, saying, "No problem, Professor Mihawk."

Two months.

That's enough for him to practice until he unlocks "Iron Slash".
