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

Three years is such a long time?

Hancock opened her mouth, but didn't voice any questions.

Because the man in front of him, Mr. Mihawk, is a famous swordsman.

In matters of swordsmanship, they naturally have a better grasp of the situation than she does.

Mihawk's statement about three years is most likely true.

Although Junichi is only fifteen years old, he will only be eighteen years old in three years. An eighteen-year-old great swordsman is amazing enough.

But compared to the progress in terms of the two-tone domineering style.

That would seem too slow.

"After all, all living beings possess the power of Haki, but only a few can master swordsmanship," Rayleigh said slowly, summarizing.

Hawkeye nodded, agreeing with this statement.

Hancock became even more discouraged and began to waver, leaning towards a three-year timeframe.

……

……

The next day.

Zhunyi woke up early, ate breakfast, and then set off to continue his cultivation.

I spent the whole afternoon practicing swordplay yesterday.

He's already got the hang of it, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, he'll reach the maximum proficiency level today.

"Let's begin."

Upon arriving at the training location, Zhunyi drew his sword and focused intently on his task.

Swish!

The new Uchiha-style swordsmanship was unleashed in his hands.

[You have completed a training session on a new Uchiha-style swordsmanship technique. Proficiency +1]

[You are currently practicing the Ultimate Technique: Flying Slash, Proficiency +1]

……

Amidst the whistling sound of the blade slicing through the air.

Every now and then, a prompt about proficiency would flash across the panel.

that's it.

The morning flew by.

Around noon.

He became increasingly immersed in the spirit of being a perfect match.

Something is stirring in my heart, like gold about to be revealed after the dust has been washed away.

[You are currently practicing the Ultimate Technique: Flying Slash, Proficiency +1]

"You're in too much of a hurry," a voice suddenly said.

Junichi did not turn around.

He had already detected the presence of Hawkeye Mihawk with his Observation Haki.

"Practicing this skill relentlessly is not very effective; what's needed is mental perfection." Hawkeye walked over and earnestly advised, "I suggest you put aside your swordsmanship for now."

"You're holding on too tightly."

"Going with the flow is the right way to break through."

Junichi ignored him and continued swinging his sword.

A sudden ripple spread across my heart.

That thing hidden deep in my heart is rapidly rising to the surface.

[You are currently practicing the Ultimate Technique: Flying Slash, Proficiency +1]

"Looks like you're not planning to listen."

Seeing this, Hawkeye shook his head. "Then I won't say any more. I've been stubborn before, but that's a necessary stage for any swordsman."

After saying that, he turned and left.

"Oh, right, I'm here to let you know it's time for lunch."

Hawkeye left those words and walked toward the small boat on the shore.

Zhun-yi ignored him and simply slashed out with his sword.

This strike seemed to suddenly touch something, and a certain insight burst forth from my heart, miraculously merging into the blade.

This caused what should have been an ordinary strike to suddenly become incredibly powerful.

Stab it!

The air was torn apart as if it were made of cloth.

"Um?"

Hawkeye stopped abruptly, turning back in surprise. "That strike?"

He keenly sensed the unusual nature of the strike he had just made.

[You have mastered the Ultimate Technique: Flying Slash once, proficiency +1]

【Ding dong! 】

[Your ultimate skill, Flying Slash, has reached the required proficiency level and has been automatically upgraded.]

【Flying Slash - Special (Max Level from Beginner)】

boom!

Zhunyi's mind jolted violently, and his heart rippled with emotion.

A sincere heart, as full as the moon, emerges from beneath the water and hangs high in the sky.

In an instant.

An incredibly clear and refreshing feeling, filling both body and mind.

A sincere heart hangs high, forever illuminating the spirit, dispelling all concealment.

The realm of the greatest swordsman!

Junichi's eyes changed, becoming gentle and peaceful, without a trace of urgency or repression.

Mental relaxation and mental ease.

I felt more relaxed than ever before.

It was as if everything was reflected in the lake of his heart, no longer affecting his emotions.

"Accurate!?"

Hawkeye stared in horror at Junichi.

This feeling, this clear and transparent aura, is clearly the mark of a great swordsman!

But how is that possible?

It's impossible for someone to break through to the Great Sword Master realm simply by practicing hard.

Otherwise, so many sword masters wouldn't be stuck at this hurdle for their entire lives.

Breaking through this level requires experience and sudden enlightenment!

"Mr. Mihawk, I have grasped the secret of the Flying Slash," Junichi said slowly, his voice clear and bright, a smile playing on his lips.

He turned to face the sea and gently swung his knife.

Just like yesterday's Hawkeye.

Hiss!

The seemingly casual slash unleashed terrifying power, tearing the air apart.

Whoosh!

An arc-shaped slashing wave shot out and landed on the seawater ten meters away.

Bang!

The sea surface suddenly exploded, sending up a spray of water.

"Flying Slash..." Hawkeye's eyes widened in disbelief. "It really is a Flying Slash! The level of a Grand Swordsman!"

Although it's a very weak flying slash, it's still a flying slash!

This is irrefutable proof of the realm of a great swordsman!

Zhun Yi didn't need to go through any of these trials; he simply focused on rigorous training and broke through this difficult hurdle!

"How did you do that?" Hawkeye looked at Junichi, his eyes filled with incomprehension.

This shattered the consensus that had stood for thousands of years in the field of swordsmanship!

"It's actually not difficult."

Junichi chuckled and shared his insights: "The purpose of travel is to allow swordsmen to see different people and things, break through past filters, and find their true selves."

"But finding true love doesn't necessarily require traveling."

"Some people are born with a clear mind, while others understand their own thoughts clearly even before becoming swordsmen."

Zhunyi pointed to himself.

"I am the latter."

"I knew what I wanted even before I mastered the Flying Slash."

"Therefore, overcoming this hurdle is very easy."

These words are not false.

After mastering the Flying Slash, Zhun-yi also developed his own insights into this realm.

Like the human body, it has an instinct for self-preservation.

This instinct limits the upper limit of the force that can be exerted.

On the level of the human mind, there are also subconscious thoughts that we suppress without realizing it.

If we say that a swordsman is someone who breaks through the limitations of his own body.

That great swordsman broke through the self-imposed limitations at the level of the mind.

Once you understand this...

Reaching the level of a Great Swordsman is no longer an elusive "opportunity," but a tangible and repeatable path.

"Is that so?"

Eagle Eye listened, his mind reeling, his expression shifting several times.

He knew that Junichi was right.

This aligns with some of his own insights.

However, his insights were scattered and unsystematic, while Zhunyi's were like a scalpel, precisely dissecting the essence.

"The secret of the great swordsman, which countless swordsmen have pondered in vain, has been completely revealed by you in just a few words..."

Hawkeye looked at Junichi with a complicated expression.

"You wouldn't happen to be the reincarnation of some historical sword saint, would you?"

"Hahaha, how could that be!" Junichi couldn't help but laugh, "I just have a little more insight and a little more thinking ability."

As he spoke, he gestured with his fingertips, indicating the universe.

Hawkeye's lips twitched slightly.

It's more than just a little bit.

It's like heaven and earth!

"Your talent is even more monstrous than a monster's," Hawkeye exclaimed from the bottom of his heart.
