Naruto: With maxed-out affection, I am invincible in the ninja world.

Feeling the aura surrounding him disappear, Haneda put down the slightly heavy short sword and couldn't help but slump to the ground.

The pressure that Sakumo put on him was immense.

He had never experienced this sense of powerlessness in both of his lives combined.

After Haneda calmed down, Sakumo continued:

"You felt the will of the blade, didn't you?"

“All the techniques I use are just basic, and you know them all, but the knife in your hand is nowhere near as heavy as the one in mine.”

Upon hearing this, Haneda recalled his feelings when he faced Sakumo directly.

The feeling was like being trapped in an illusion, where time slowed down and you couldn't escape.

Haneda nodded and said, "This will is like an illusion interfering with my brain."

"It's somewhat similar to the Hell Sight spell, which makes people see extremely terrifying things."

"However, this fear does not originate from within, but from the outside, namely you."

"Hmm." Sakumo nodded slightly, looking at Kakashi. "And you, Kakashi?"

“Just like Haneda,” Kakashi said.

"Haneda is right. This kind of will is similar to illusion, but it is different from illusion."

"Illusion works by influencing opponents or enemies through the five senses, but not through willpower."

Sakumo spoke slowly, his terrifying aura emanating once more.

"This is the first form of will, which is to completely release one's killing intent or aura from the body and soul."

"Many strong people can do this."

"I have seen the Second Hokage release his aura, and when he does, most people cannot look him in the eye."

After saying that, Sakumo's aura quickly dissipated.

He looked completely ordinary, but Haneda, who had activated his Sharingan, could sense the immense terror emanating from Sakumo's sword.

"This is the second form of will, controlling one's will and concentrating it on the blade."

"Most people cannot sense this form; only when they come into contact with the blade will their will erupt."

"This form is easy to hide and can kill with a single blow, but it is ineffective when used repeatedly."

"Remember, for samurai it's a contest of willpower, but for ninjas it's a contest of survival."

"This also means that ninjas can add other things to their swords."

"For example, chakra."

"The essence of Hatake swordsmanship lies in the combination of chakra and swordsmanship, and the combination of will and swordsmanship."

Shuo Mao stopped there.

He drew the short sword from his back, concentrated his chakra on the blade, and swung it lightly.

An invisible blade flashed out, leaving a shallow mark on the ground.

"This is just the addition of non-attribute chakra. The most commonly used chakra for the Hatake sword technique is wind and lightning chakra."

"You should have all learned about the properties corresponding to the two chakra natures in school, right?"

"Wind represents cutting, making it suitable for close to medium range combat."

The nature of the chakra on the Sakumo sword changed, and the chakra condensed like the blade.

With a single swipe of his blade, the large rock five or six meters in front of Sakumo was instantly sliced ​​open, leaving only a thin, long line.

"Lightning spreads more easily, making it suitable for medium to long distances."

Sakumo swung his sword again, this time the blade crackling with electricity.

Amidst the thunder and lightning, in the blink of an eye, the trunk of a large tree more than ten meters away was split open by lightning.

Rumble!

A tree tens of meters tall fell, kicking up a cloud of pungent dust.

This time, the split wasn't as neat as the wind-style chakra; it was uneven, like gears.

Meanwhile, the root ninja hiding in the tree canopy was already drenched in sweat.

This knife really will kill you!

At this moment, Sakumo sheathed his short sword and slowly said:

"The skillful application of the Hatake sword technique requires the use of different types of chakra."

"In short, use wind for close-range attacks and thunder for long-range attacks."

"As for the will on the blade, to be honest, you can't master it without more than ten years of practice."

"Even after decades of arduous training, only a handful of the warriors of the Iron Kingdom have mastered it."

"That's why I strongly recommend that you learn the Uchiha-style swordsmanship, Haneda."

Upon hearing this, Haneda smiled and replied:

"Uncle Sakumo, you said that advanced sword techniques are all pretty much the same."

"Among the Uchiha clan, probably no one can match Sakumo-sensei's swordsmanship. We might as well learn from him."

"Besides, I have both wind and thunder attributes, so isn't that perfect for the Hatake sword technique?"

At this point, Haneda revealed a confident smile.

Seeing this, Sakumo said no more and smiled, "..."

"Let's go to Q BBQ, or we might not get a seat if we don't leave soon."

…………

Konoha Village, Q Barbecue Restaurant.

Haneda and his two companions booked a private room upstairs.

The private room was decorated in a classic and simple style, with a table and four square benches.

A barbecue grill was placed in the middle of the table, and Haneda and his two companions casually found a spot to sit down.

At that moment, a young and pretty waitress walked in, holding a menu, and smiled:

"Welcome! How many guests would you like to order?"

Although the waitress was referring to several guests, her smile was clearly directed at Sakumo.

Sakumo took the menu and casually handed the booklet to Haneda across from him:

"Hanata, you can order first, don't be shy with me."

"Hmm." Haneda nodded slightly and glanced at the menu a few times.

Well, I guess I just had a serious case of decision paralysis...

Haneda simply didn't bother thinking and said directly, "One serving of pork belly with lettuce, and a glass of orange juice with ice, please."

"Didn't you say you don't drink beverages, Haneda?" Kakashi suddenly said from the side.

"The drinks are delicious, but don't adults like to drink them too?"

"Also, I am a child."

Haneda wasn't embarrassed at all and directly retorted.

He casually handed the menu to Sakumo and asked with a smile, "Uncle Sakumo, what would you like to order?"

"Two sets of barbecue C..."

Sakumo had originally wanted to drink, but after hearing Haneda's words, he felt it wasn't appropriate to drink in front of the two children, so he added to the waiter's comment.

"Two glasses with iced orange juice, please."

Kakashi silently rolled his eyes at Haneda and his father.

He was supposed to make his own decisions, but in the end, his father still ordered the food for him...

After the waitress left, Haneda and the others were able to chat freely.

"Uncle Sakumo, don't you drink?" Haneda asked curiously.

Sakumo waved his hand and said:

"The Three Forbidden Rules of Ninjas, the Three Forbidden Rules of Ninjas..."

"As a ninja, one must be ready to be ordered around at any time. Alcohol can impair judgment, so I don't usually drink."

Hearing this, Kakashi silently rolled his eyes at his father.

These days, his elderly father drinks alcohol every day.

Upon entering his room, one could immediately smell a strong odor of alcohol...

Upon catching Kakashi's disdainful look, Sakumo blushed, chuckled a few times, and let the matter drop.
