: Mastering the Flying Slash Requires a Special Opportunity

"I think I understand."

Junichi pondered, thinking to himself, "To master the art of cutting iron, a swordsman needs to push their own path to its limit, refining their power to an exquisite degree."

"And the flying slash..."

"To go beyond personal style, one must reach the pinnacle!"

"One must find the foundation within the complexities of swordsmanship, and then integrate that foundation with one's mental focus, strength, and techniques!"

The panel displayed the prompt three more times.

Clearly, his line of thinking was correct.

"There's no need to rush to master the Flying Slash," Hawkeye said. "The key is the right opportunity."

"An opportunity?"

"That's right." Hawkeye nodded. "When the opportunity arises, everything will fall into place. Without the right opportunity, nothing you do will work."

At this point, Hawkeye looked at Junichi.

"A wealth of experience can help you find that opportunity."

"So, you can now travel the seas and fight different powerful enemies, just like other swordsmen."

"When you hone your swordsmanship to the point where there is no room for improvement in battle, that is when the opportunity will arise."

The prompt appeared on the panel again.

Zhun nodded and said, "I understand completely."

He had already understood the path of a great swordsman.

of course.

I understand it, but I don't.

Zhun-yi, however, had no intention of doing so.

He didn't need to take the long path of "travel" as a form of spiritual practice.

That's something only a true swordsman would do.

And he is a player who is cheating.

"Practice your swordsmanship first, and see if there are any details that need adjustment," Hawkeye said. "I almost forgot, what's the name of that swordsmanship?"

"Uchiha-style swordsmanship," Junichi replied casually.

"Uchiha style, huh..." Hawkeye listened to the name, his eyes thoughtful.

Junichi's full name is Uchiha Junichi.

Therefore, this should be a family-inherited sword technique with a style from Wano Country.

Could Junichi be from Wano Country?

Hawkeye only made a slight guess before putting it out of his mind.

The ocean doesn't ask about one's origins.

Where you come from is completely unimportant.

Swish!Swish!Swish!

He began cultivating from the very beginning.

He swung the sword while adjusting the details.

Hawkeye offers advice from time to time.

slowly.

He honed the new Uchiha-style swordsmanship to perfection, leaving no flaws.

But Junichi didn't stop.

He took the opportunity to begin his training on the path of a great swordsman, incorporating his own insights and experiences into his swordsmanship.

This approach is like infusing swordsmanship with a soul.

When a sword technique comes alive and becomes highly personal.

This means that this person has reached the end of the path of a swordsman.

"So eager?"

Hawkeye naturally saw through Junichi's thoughts and couldn't help but frown, saying, "I clearly said that forcibly seeking opportunities will only lead to setbacks...experience is the right path."

He couldn't help but shake his head.

Zhunyi is too hasty.

But Hawkeye didn't stop it; he just watched from the sidelines.

Young people, you know.

He was always a little impatient, and he could also sense the subtle urgency in Zhun Yi's eyes.

The boy seemed to have something to do.

Therefore, they are eager to improve their strength.

"In this situation, there's no point in trying to persuade him," Hawkeye thought. "I'll just have to wait for him to hit a wall and calm down on his own."

Thinking like that.

Hawkeye walked to a distance and quietly began to maintain his black blade.

At his level, ordinary cultivation is of little significance; what matters more is the understanding and refinement of his realm.

……

The sun is gradually setting in the west.

Before we knew it, the sun began to set.

Swish!

Junichi was still swinging his sword, his clothes were soaked through, as if he had been pulled out of the water.

The panel only sends a notification once every long period of time.

obviously.

Knowing something is one thing, doing it is another.

The first-class level is lacking in too much.

A typical swordsman has spent at least three years traveling and has experienced at least one life-threatening battle.

Only then will it be possible to find that opportunity.

But I'll say it again.

Zhunyi is an overpowered player.

call!

After another swing of the sword, a prompt faithfully appeared on the panel.

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

He gradually began to grasp the feeling.

The frequency of the prompts is increasing.

"I should be able to max out my proficiency by tomorrow," Junichi thought to himself, calculating.

"Go back, young man."

Hawkeye finished his training and walked over from a distance. He looked at Junichi and shook his head, saying, "Your stamina is exhausted. There's no point in training anymore."

"Alright." Junichi understood this as well and stopped swinging his sword.

I rested for a while.

He and Hawkeye returned to Shaoqi's Bamboo Bar.

……

……

jingle!

Accompanied by the sound of wind chimes, Junichi and Hawkeye pushed open the door and entered the tavern.

Upon entering.

A rich aroma of meat wafts up from it.

Hot, hearty dishes were laid out on the tavern tables.

Glug glug...

Junichi's stomach immediately began to growl with hunger.

"Welcome back," Peony said with a smile, puffing on her cigarette. "Go take a shower, then come have dinner."

"Okay." Junichi immediately went upstairs to his room to wash off the sweat.

This dinner.

He ate more than ever before, his appetite reaching 100 times that of the Naruto world!

……

They were full and satisfied.

Junichi was exhausted, so he went to rest first.

Hawkeye was on the first floor, drinking and chatting with Rayleigh and the others.

"How was the afternoon?" Rayleigh asked curiously.

"No progress." Hawkeye shook his head.

Rayleigh, Peony, and even Hancock all looked surprised upon hearing this.

"What are you surprised about?"

Hawkeye was baffled and asked in surprise, "He has already mastered the Iron Cutting Technique. The next step is the most difficult Flying Slash."

"That's the level of a Great Swordsman!"

"Do you think it's easy? Countless swordsmanship geniuses have been stumped by this challenge for their entire lives!"

Rayleigh and the other two looked at each other in bewilderment.

The obstacles that trap geniuses may not necessarily trap those who are destined for excellence.

"Sorry, because a junior student awakened both Armament Haki and Observation Haki in a single day, so..." Rayleigh said, scratching his head.

"So, you think he mastered Iron Cutting and Flying Slash in just one day?" Hawkeye looked incredulous.

Rayleigh and the other two nodded in unison.

Hawkeye was speechless. What do you take the great swordsman for?

Chinese cabbage?

"It won't be that fast." Hawkeye shook his head and said, "Becoming a great swordsman requires a catalyst; it can't be achieved through training alone."

"Mr. Mihawk, do you think Junichi can't master Flying Slash?" Hancock asked, raising her little hand.

She cares a lot about being a first-year student.

He never eats with his sister or the people of Kuja, but instead comes to Junichi's side for every meal.

"That's not it."

Hawkeye glanced at the little girl, thought for a moment, and said, "I just think that he won't be able to master the Flying Slash in a short time... He'll need at least three years of training before he can find that opportunity."
