Naruto: Get Stronger by Hanging Up.

Kuina smiled and said, "What's wrong with opening a sword shop? You are my father's disciple. You can become a stable supplier to Isshin Dojo in the future. How great is that."

Looking at Kuina, I began to imagine the future.

Ye Yu shook his head helplessly. "Okay, I'm definitely not cut out for business, but it's getting dark, I should go back."

"I may come here less often in the future. If you need anything, please come to Windmill Village to find me."

Only then did Kuina realize that when Ye Yu said goodbye to her just now, it was not the same as before, but that he would not come in the future.

Kuina frowned. "But you're giving up before you even start learning swordsmanship? Are you really going to become a swordsmith?"

Kuina thought Ye Yu had a talent for sword forging and planned to make a living by forging swords in the future.

Although Kuina said that she wanted Ye Yu to open a sword shop in the future, she actually didn't want Ye Yu to really go into this business.

She still hopes that Ye Yu can practice with her in the future, and even challenge the world's greatest swordsman with her.

She doesn't care who will be the world's greatest swordsman between her and Ye Yu.

If it is proven in the future that she really lost to Ye Yu, if it is Ye Yu, she is willing to admit it.

Ye Yu explained, "No, I have already learned the swordsmanship. I learned it from your grandfather during this period. There is no point for me to come here anymore."

Kuina didn't know that Ye Han had already learned swordsmanship.

She thought Ye Yu was planning to change his career to become a swordsmith.

"You have learned swordsmanship? You are such a boaster. If you can defeat me, I will believe what you say. If you can't even defeat me, don't give up practicing swordsmanship." Kuina said seriously.

It’s not that Kuina is too overbearing, but Ye Yu is different to her.

She didn't want Ye Yu to give up swordsmanship.

Ye Yu smiled and said, "Well, although I don't want to, but since you said so, if I don't defeat you, you will probably always be entangled."

After saying that, Ye Yu slowly put Yuejie back into the scabbard.

He naturally wouldn't cross the line to fight Kuina.

Although he can control his strength, Ye Yu doesn't want to cross the line and fight unless it is necessary.

Kuina held the bamboo sword and frowned when she saw Ye Yu put Yuejie back into the scabbard. "Don't you need a sword?"

Ye Yu smiled and said, "This knife is too sharp. It would be bad if it hurts someone by mistake."

As he spoke, Ye Yu picked up a bamboo sword next to him.

Walking in front of Kuina, Ye Yu held the knife in one hand.

Kuina looked at the way Ye Yu held the sword and nodded, "It's quite decent."

"But swordsmanship requires actual combat. Just having a posture won't do."

After saying that, he held the bamboo sword in both hands and chopped towards Ye Yu.

In Kuina's opinion, Ye Yu was full of flaws and could be cut anywhere.

Just as Kuina was about to chop down the bamboo sword, Ye Yu dodged and the bamboo sword was already on Kuina's shoulder.

Actually, it should have been placed around her neck, but that wouldn't have been a good idea.

Kuina was stunned at this moment.

She held the bamboo sword in both hands, unable to move.

She couldn't believe the result.

"I, I, I lost?!"

Kuina murmured to herself. She really didn't expect this result.

It would have been fine if Ye Yu had defeated her, but he actually didn't win by strength, but by swordsmanship.

That's right, swordsmanship.

Her sword moves just now were very difficult to break through.

But Ye Yu was able to pass through her attack without touching her knife and put the knife on her neck.

That’s right, it should be on the neck. She knew that Ye Yu was giving her face.

But Ye Yu hadn’t practiced much before, so how come his swordsmanship suddenly became so much stronger than hers?

I can defeat many adult students. In this village, no one can be my opponent except my father.

But why is the gap between her and Ye Yu so big?

She had no power to resist at all. She didn't even know how Ye Yu broke through her sword moves and put the knife on her neck.

Chapter 401 Goodbye Shanks

Kuina stood there for a long time. She couldn't believe that she actually lost. It would have been fine if she had just lost, but she lost so miserably.

Was Ye Yu really serious just now?

He defeated me with just one strike. I had studied and practiced for so many years, but I was still not as good as Ye Yu, who had only studied for a few months.

This is no longer a talent gap between men and women, but a gap between monsters and ordinary geniuses.

Kuina knew very well that even among men, most were mediocre, and she was competing with the geniuses among men.

But Kuina didn't think that a genius would have such a terrifying talent as Ye Yu.

Ye Yu put away the bamboo sword and said with a smile, "Do you believe it now? I will come back to see you when I have time. Goodbye."

Kuina didn't say anything, but looked at Ye Yu with disbelief. She had not yet recovered from the competition just now.

Or in other words, was that really a competition just now?

Ye Yu didn't even use his full strength, right?

The gap between them is so huge.

Kuina was silent for a long time.

Seeing Ye Yu leave, Kuina wanted to say something, but in the end she just said, "See you later."

Ye Yu smiled, waved his hand, and left the dojo.

Standing at the door of the dojo, she looked at the receding figure, holding the bamboo sword in her hand.

Only after Ye Yu disappeared from sight did Shimotsuki Koshiro walk up to Kuina and patted her shoulder. "Ye Yu is not an ordinary person."

Kuina nodded.

"It's unbelievable that the gap between him and me is this huge. It's no longer a difference in strength between men and women, but the difference between ordinary people and monsters."

Shimotsuki Koshiro laughed and said, "Do you know what grade his sword is?"

Kuina turned to look at her father without saying a word.

She knew that since her father said so, the knife must be extraordinary.

Shimotsuki Koshiro exclaimed, "That is a demon sword that surpasses the Supreme Great Sword, your grandfather said so."

Kuina was stunned. "How is that possible? That was the first sword he forged. How could it be so outrageous? To be able to reach the level of a good sword is already very powerful, right?"

"And what level is the Supreme Great Blade? As for surpassing the Supreme Great Blade, it's even impossible. How could someone surpass the Supreme Great Blade on their first forging?"

Shimotsuki Koshiro exclaimed, "Didn't you notice that the sword was completely black?"

Kuina nodded and said, "Yeah, it's really a bit weird."

Shimotsuki Koshiro explained, "That's not the sword's natural color. Even when the Supreme Blade was forged, it wasn't black, but silver-white."

"However, the Haki of a powerful person who possesses a supreme sword is usually very strong. They can use Haki to warm the sword. The sword warmed by Haki will become darker and darker, and eventually become a pure black sword."

"At this point, the sword's strength has reached its limit. Even if a weight of several hundred tons were to press upon a sword of this level, it wouldn't deform in the slightest. The sword's strength has reached an incredible level."

"And the sword that Ye Yu crafted has been at the level of a black sword since its birth, and it also incorporates Ye Yu's domineering aura. The sword itself carries a terrifying domineering aura."

"This is something not even famous swords possess."

Kuina looked confused "What is Haki?"

Because Kuina has not yet reached the stage of learning Haki, Shimotsuki Koshiro has not told her about Haki.

Shimotsuki Koshiro explained what Haki is.

After hearing this, Kuina was even more shocked.

"So, Ye Yu is actually more powerful than I thought?"

Shimotsuki Koshiro nodded. "He has now at least reached the level of a swordsman. With the help of the sword in his hand, he may even be able to fight a few rounds with a great swordsman."

Because Shimotsuki Koshiro had never seen Yoha's move of splitting the sea with his sword, he thought that he had reached the level of a swordsman.

But the swordsman's level is already very powerful.

In Shimotsuki Koshiro's guess, Ye Yu's strength is among the strongest swordsmen.

Kuina's eyes narrowed slightly. "I haven't even reached the standard of a swordsman yet."

Kuina is a very good swordsman, but that is only the initial stage of a swordsman.

She has not yet reached the standard of a swordsman, but now Ye Yu has reached the level of a swordsman, two levels higher than her.

I wonder what Kuina would think if she knew that Ye Yu had actually reached the level of a great swordsman.

Kuina clenched the bamboo sword in her hand and said, "I need to work harder and not fall too far behind him. I want to become the world's greatest swordsman. If I can't even surpass Ye Yu, how can I become the world's greatest swordsman?"

Kuina did not lose confidence, on the contrary she became more motivated to work harder.

Just hearing what Kuina said, Shimotsuki Koshiro sighed in his heart, "You don't know the huge gap between you and him. Alas, Kuina hopes that when you grow up, you won't be hit."

Ye Yu is destined to become a great swordsman, but in the future, Kuina may not even be able to reach the level of a great swordsman, let alone become the world's greatest swordsman.

However, Shimotsuki Koshiro did not say it out loud, as he did not want to discourage her.

On the other side, Ye Yu returned to Windmill Village by boat.

When we arrived at Windmill Village, it was dark.

But the pub was still brightly lit, which was normal, after all, it was a pub.

However, Ye Yu saw the Red Hair Pirates' ship at the dock, so they should be in the tavern.

In fact, Ye Yu is not familiar with the Red Hair Pirates. They only met once last time and didn't even say a few words.

Holding Yuan Ren, he slowly walked into the tavern.

Yuanren means crossing the boundary. Ye Yu felt that the name "crossing the boundary" was a bit strange, so he changed the name.

Yuanren means his first sword.

Of course, Yohane's first weapon was a specially made kunai given to him by Kakashi.

But he didn't bring the kunai.

Ye Yu and Yuan Ren pushed open the door of the tavern, and the tavern was already full of people.

For a moment, everyone in the tavern looked at Ye Yu who walked in.

Shanks, who was drinking at the bar, was wearing his straw hat with the brim covering his eyes. With a bottle of wine in his hand, Ye Yu walked towards the bar.

Shanks raised the corner of his mouth slightly.

When Luffy, who was sitting next to him, saw Ye Yu, he jumped off the bar chair happily and said, "Ye Yu, you are back. Why are you back so late today?"

Although Ye Yu would come back late in the past, it was definitely never this late.

Yohane walked over to the bar, patted Luffy on the head, and placed the Elemental Blade on the bar.

Sit on the bar stool.

Luffy looked at the Yuanren blade that Yohane had placed on the counter and was very curious "Yohane, what is this? Did you buy a sword?"

Luffy felt that this sword gave him a very powerful feeling.

Although the appearance is very simple and rustic, it gives him a very special feeling.

It feels like this knife can cut through everything even if no one is using it.
