Start with Naruto Awakening - Awesome!

　Uchiha Sanao leaped into the air, raising his ninja sword above his head with both arms raised, like a tiger descending a mountain, man and sword becoming one!

　Bathed in the pale moonlight, the blade's light merged with the moonlight, making this strike as swift as lightning—a truly pinnacle of skill!

　"interesting!"

　The red-haired man smiled faintly, his only arm gripping the hilt of the sword at his waist!

　"Qiang!"

　A clear, ringing sound of swords suddenly rang out between heaven and earth!

　It's like the horn of an ancient battlefield, a firefly in the darkness, a single point illuminating the chaos and breaking through the turbidity!

　Shanks maintained his grip on the sword hilt, but Uchiha San'nao's body flew backward as if struck by an invisible attack, crashing heavily to the ground.

　Even with the Sharingan, Uchiha Sanao couldn't see how Shanks made his move!

　Not only him, but even Ye Chen couldn't see it clearly!

　In the world of One Piece, the greatest swordsman is Hawkeye, and the only swordsman in the world whom Hawkeye can take seriously is Shanks!

　The red-haired man not only possesses the pinnacle of three-color Haki, but his swordsmanship is also divine!

　If he hadn't lost an arm, he might have surpassed the level of a sword master!

　"Amazing, an invisible slash! As expected of Shanks!" Ye Chen watched Shanks' battle with amazement in his eyes.

　Throughout the entire battle, it was obvious to anyone with eyes that Shanks was just toying with Uchiha San'nao and wasn't really fighting seriously at all!

　To put it simply, Uchiha Shank is a Jonin, a high-level fighter in the ninja world, yet he completely overwhelmed Shanks. This shows how strong Shanks is, definitely at or above the Kage level!

　"What kind of swordsmanship is that?" Uchiha Sanao stood up from the ground, still in shock. He had just felt a chill on his neck and even felt as if his body had been severed from his head.

　"Don't waste time, Redhead! Finish him off!"

　Despite being amazed by Shanks' strength, the Four Emperors' summoning cards only last for ten minutes!

　There's not much time left in ten minutes. We need to eliminate this enemy as soon as possible to prevent future troubles.

　"Hey!"

　"It's really troublesome!"

　"Although I'd like to see what other tricks you have up your sleeve, the battle should end now."

　Upon receiving Ye Chen's order, the red-haired man wasted no time, his expression changed, and a red light appeared in his pupils.

　"Conqueror's Haki, activate!"

　As someone who also possesses Conqueror's Haki, Ye Chen is particularly sensitive to this Conqueror's Haki.

　Centered on the redhead, the surrounding environment begins to change.

　(2/3)

　It turned gray and colorless!

　This space is filled with an indescribable oppressive force!

　The Conqueror's Haki transformed into waves that stretched into the distance, and everything in its path submitted!

　The forest trembled, the earth shook, and some nearby wild animals lay prostrate on the ground. An owl in the tree suddenly collapsed to the ground, its eyes flashing white.

　Further away, the rivers and waterfalls began to boil, and the invisible, domineering aura directly affected the physical world!

　For a moment, the color of heaven and earth changed!

Chapter 51 Kushina's Terrifying Thoughts (Seeking Flowers and Add to Favorites)

　The wind rises, the clouds surge!

　The wind is calm, the waves are still!

　Under the onslaught of Shanks' Conqueror's Haki, Uchiha Sanao had no power to resist. His eyes turned white instantly, and he collapsed unconscious.

　Conqueror's Haki, an aura that only those with the potential to become king can awaken, one in ten thousand!

　It exerts psychological pressure, chilling the soul! This is a characteristic of the One Piece world, killing silently and terrifyingly.

　To some extent, this also falls under the category of psychological attack!

　In the Naruto world, the only technique that can attack the mind is genjutsu, but the direction of its development is different!

　"Is it resolved?" Ye Chen asked.

　“No, he was just stunned into unconsciousness by my presence. Killing people is too troublesome; I don’t usually kill anyone,” Shanks said.

　Ye Chen didn't say anything about this. Although Shanks was a pirate and one of the Four Emperors, he had his own bottom line.

　We do not take ill-gotten gains, do not harm ordinary people, and never provoke disputes!

　In other words, rather than calling Shanks a pirate, it's more accurate to say he's a true seafaring adventurer who pursues freedom and the truth of the world.

　Compared to other pirate crews, the Red-Haired Pirates are definitely the most unique!

　Redhead glanced at Ye Chen, then took a wine flask from his waist and tossed it down, saying:

　"Have a drink. I don't know why I came here. Something feels off about this place."

　The redhead pointed to his head, something that was hard to describe in words.

　Ye Chen took the wine pot, but his mind was in deep thought.

　Could it be that the red-haired man in front of me is real, truly summoned from the pirate world, and obeys me because of the system, rather than being created out of thin air by the system's power?

　"System, is Shanks really summoned from the One Piece world?" Ye Chen thought to himself, perhaps only the system could answer this question.

　"No, it's just that a period of time intercepted by the system is projected and sealed in the card, but it has the same physical form and power as the original body, which is why there is a time limit."

　As for why the summoner would doubt their own actions, it's because when one's strength reaches a certain level, even a projection can develop an independent personality, capable of thought, and no different from a real person.

　"Of course, the character summoned by the card will absolutely obey the summoner's will, and that will never change," the system explained.

　"I see. When a puppet's strength reaches a certain level, it can develop the power of thought and an independent personality." Ye Chen suddenly understood.

　Just like the powerful beings in cultivation novels, even if they have been dead for thousands of years, their physical bodies are immortal. After countless years of sedimentation and accumulation, their bodies will still give birth to new consciousness and souls!

　This is what is known as spiritualism!

　After figuring it out, Ye Chen stopped worrying about it, uncorked the wine flask, and slowly took a sip of wine.

　It wasn't as fiery as I imagined; instead, it had a mellow and refreshing aroma, as cool and delicious as spring water. After flowing down my throat and into my chest, it suddenly became hot again.

　He was instantly invigorated, and even his injuries recovered considerably, making him feel much better overall.

　He couldn't resist and drank a couple more sips.

　"Don't drink it all! This wine is rare and expensive!" Redhead snatched the wine jug with lightning speed, looking at it as if it were a precious treasure.

　"Who is this uncle? Ye Chen? How come he has the same hair as me?"

　(1/3)

　Kushina hid behind Yoruichi.

　She looked timidly at the redhead, her bright eyes filled with a hint of wariness!

　"What, uncle? Am I that old?" the redhead exclaimed, seemingly displeased with the word "uncle".

　“A friend,” Ye Chen said, not wanting to elaborate on Shanks’ situation.

　"Oh my friend!"

　Upon hearing that he was Ye Chen's friend, Kushina immediately lowered her guard. Moreover, this uncle had just given the Uchiha clan a severe lesson, and with his red hair, she felt a sense of kinship towards him.

　They might even be from the same hometown!

　"Sigh, I don't know why, but I have to go now!" The redhead shrugged, looking helpless.

　“We will meet again,” Ye Chen said.

　"Uncle, are we parting ways already?" Kushina asked, seemingly a little reluctant.

　She didn't have many relatives to begin with, and although this middle-aged man with a scar on his face didn't look like a good person, he had just saved them.

　"I told you not to call me 'uncle,' you brat!"

　Hong waved her hand, took a few steps forward, and disappeared into the dark forest, never to be heard from again, as if she had never existed.

　After Shanks left, Ye Chen's expression gradually changed. He walked to the unconscious Uchiha San'nao and took out the demon sword Enma.

　"Ye Chen, what are you going to do?" Kushina asked nervously.

　"Kushina, you go first, don't look back, I'll catch up right away," Ye Chen said, his expression cold.

　Seemingly anticipating what would happen next, Kushina didn't ask any questions. Her face was pale as she silently walked forward.

　"The world of ninjas is inherently cruel; if you're going to kill, you have to be prepared to be killed!"

　Ye Chen's expression was indifferent, devoid of any emotion, and his calmness was unlike that of someone his age.

　He drew Enma from its sheath, the stark white blade reflecting his youthful, pale face. A chilling aura emanated from the blade, causing the temperature to drop abruptly!

　A flash of the blade, and life or death is decided instantly!

　……
