Beichen Haotian

Year 28 of Konoha.

In a two-story wooden Japanese-style courtyard, a little boy was swinging a wooden sword in the yard. The little boy was about five years old, with messy black hair, wearing a well-fitting black samurai outfit, and wooden clogs on his feet. Despite his young age, the wooden sword in his hand was not swung randomly, but with a certain method, flowing perfectly.

Liao, Ci, Jie, Lan, Beng, Zhan, Dai, Chan – basic stances were handled with ease by the little boy, accompanied by a faint whistling sound. A subtle killing intent emanated from the child, hinting at the demeanor of a sword master.

Hoo… The little boy exhaled deeply, put away his wooden sword, and sat down on the steps, looking somewhat dejected and sad.

Just over ten days ago, his parents had passed away. To be precise, his adoptive parents had died, killed by people from the Sand Village. He had been found and brought back to the village by his adoptive parents when they were returning from a mission. Although not his biological parents, they had treated him very well, as if he were their own child. Over three to four years, under their care, he had completely integrated into this world.

Actually, the little boy was not from this world. To be exact, his body belonged to this world, but his soul did not. The little boy's original name was Qin Moxuan, the eldest son of the Qin family on Earth.

The Qin family was not a large one, consisting of only six people: grandparents, parents, and two brothers. However, the Qin family had a history of four to five hundred years, with most of their ancestors serving in the military, excelling in battlefield tactics and personal combat, making them a martial arts family.

In modern times, both brothers in the family were considered geniuses. The younger son excelled in fist techniques, and the elder son excelled in sword techniques. Both had made quite a name for themselves in the martial arts world. The elder son, in particular, was hailed as a once-in-a-century sword talent, becoming a sword master at the age of twenty. The family's inherited Blood Battle Breaking Army Saber Technique had reached a level far surpassing its predecessors.

Unfortunately, Qin Moxuan had a naturally reckless personality. Perhaps it was youthful arrogance or overconfidence, but he actually went alone to pursue a team of foreign assassins. After being ambushed, he fought to the death and perished. However, the assassin team did not fare much better; they were almost wiped out, with the sole survivor becoming crippled.

Qin Moxuan was fortunate enough to be reborn in the world of One Piece. Through his own efforts and schemes, he became a great swordsman. His strength was no less than that of the "Heavenly Yaksha" among the Shichibukai, and he was even slightly stronger. It could be said that if he continued to cultivate, he could potentially reach the level of a Yonko, a Marine Admiral, or the world's greatest swordsman.

However, Qin Moxuan once again displayed his talent for recklessness. Upon hearing that the First Generation Kitetsu, the strongest demonic sword, was in the hands of the Five Elders, he infiltrated Mary Geoise to steal it. Unfortunately, he was discovered, and even the strongest fists are no match for four hands. Although he killed many Marines and CP0 members, his fate was sealed. He lost everything, including his life.

Reborn this time in the world of Naruto, Qin Moxuan had made up his mind not to be reckless anymore. Well, perhaps only engaging in minor, life-threatening recklessness at certain times. He wondered if he had accumulated immense merit in his past life to be reborn twice. However, there's no third time after the second, surely, maybe, definitely no third chance.

With various thoughts flashing through his mind, Qin Moxuan, no, the little boy who should be called Beichen Haotian in this world, got up, pushed open the first-floor door, sat down at the low table, and began to eat.

More than ten days had passed, and the grief had largely subsided. Only when he occasionally remembered it did his heart still ache. He suppressed the sadness in his heart, after all, he was an adult, having lived three lives and being over forty years old, he could easily control his emotions.

The food was decent. Although his adoptive parents were just ordinary Civilian Chunin, they had accumulated some savings from years of missions. Combined with the death benefits and orphan subsidies, it was enough for Beichen Haotian to live comfortably until he was around fifteen years old. After quickly finishing his meal, he sat cross-legged on the floor, calmed his mind, and began to refine his chakra.

Beichen Haotian was not someone with an extreme or radical mindset, unlike Uchiha Obito, who, after losing what he loved, wanted to destroy the world. However, revenge was a must for his parents; those who killed them must die! Coming from an ancient martial arts family, they did not believe in repaying evil with kindness, but always in repaying kindness with kindness and uprightness with grievances.

Revenge required strength. Since he was sensible, and after his body grew a bit stronger, Beichen Haotian had been secretly training himself. Although it was just basic training, compared to others his age, Beichen Haotian's physique was definitely stronger. Of course, this was excluding those with special physiques or disciples from major clans.

Due to his age and physique, Beichen Haotian had very little chakra, and at most, he could only perform the Clone Jutsu. His parents, being Civilian Chunin, did not know many techniques, nor were they of high quality. Currently, the only techniques Beichen Haotian could learn were the Three Basic Ninjutsu.

However, it didn't matter. Beichen Haotian's main focus was not on ninjutsu currently, as his chakra was too scarce. His main focus was on sword techniques, physical training, and Haki.

In his previous life, as a renowned great swordsman in the world of One Piece, Beichen Haotian was proficient in sword techniques, Observation Haki, Armament Haki, and the Rokushiki techniques of Soru, Geppo, Tekkai, and Kami-e. He had also initially awakened Conqueror's Haki. As for how he learned the Rokushiki? In the beginning, Beichen Haotian had joined the Navy and entered a special agency.

The Rokushiki required a strong physique, which Beichen Haotian, being young, had not yet achieved. His sword techniques were already etched into Beichen Haotian's soul, and he was picking them up again with rapid progress. After two years of training, his Haki had touched the edge of awakening, especially Observation Haki, which was only a step away. Relying on his past experience, as long as he didn't slack off, Beichen Haotian would eventually recover his peak Shichibukai cultivation, not inferior to Kage-level experts.

In the afternoon, Beichen Haotian continued to follow his plan, refining chakra, practicing hand seals, practicing sword techniques, training his physique, and comprehending Haki. After dinner, Beichen Haotian broke his routine and went to bed early because tomorrow was the enrollment day for the Ninja Academy.

The next day, he woke up early, went to the kitchen, stood on a stool, and made breakfast. He fried two eggs and added bread, milk – a simple yet nutritious meal. Beichen Haotian wouldn't eat instant noodles every day like Naruto, whose body was exceptionally strong, and the Uzumaki Clan's physique was not comparable to ordinary people. Now, he was in his growing years, and with the mindset of an adult, Beichen Haotian wouldn't skimp on himself.

After eating and washing the dishes, carrying a small schoolbag and a wooden sword on his back, Beichen Haotian went to report to the Ninja Academy by himself.

Along the way, many familiar neighbors greeted Beichen Haotian and teased him. The greetings were fine, but some aunts and uncles, and young ladies would pinch his cheeks, which made him very annoyed.

However, he couldn't blame them. Honestly, Beichen Haotian was indeed handsome and cute as a child. Facing the "claws" along the way, Beichen Haotian couldn't resist. Ever since his adoptive parents passed away, these neighbors had been very kind to him, giving him things, inviting him to meals, and often looking after him.

Struggling along the way, he finally escaped the neighborhood's many "claws" and arrived at a street where no one knew him. Konoha, as expected of the head of the Five Great Shinobi Villages, was very prosperous. The streets were bustling with people, shops lined the roads, and the atmosphere was very good.

Crossing a street, Beichen Haotian finally arrived at the Konoha Ninja Academy. He saw a sea of people at the entrance. Many little boys and girls, led by their parents, were either registering or chatting.

He queued up, submitted his information, and then took money out of his schoolbag. The tuition for the Ninja Academy was not expensive; if it were, it would be meaningless.

After paying the tuition, Beichen Haotian waited outside the school. About half an hour later, registration was mostly complete, and he entered the school with the crowd. Upon entering the school, Beichen Haotian looked around curiously. He noticed that apart from some ninja training equipment, it wasn't much different from schools on Earth.

He arrived under a high platform. Organized by the school teachers, they lined up. Then, a man wearing a white Hokage Robe and a hat embroidered with the character for "fire" on the brim, who looked about thirty-seven or thirty-eight years old, stood on the platform with a kind smile. Bathed in the morning sun, he appeared particularly benevolent and approachable.

"Is this the Third Hokage? He's so much younger than at the beginning of the original story, and his power isn't comparable to when he's old. The Third Hokage at this time must be the ninja hero who dominated the ninja world," Haotian thought involuntarily as he looked at the figure on the platform, feeling the terrifying power contained within his not-so-imposing body.

Afterward, the Third Hokage began his speech. It was similar to the opening ceremony speeches on Earth. Later, he spoke about the Will of Fire, repeating it twice.

As the Kage of the village, there was almost no one in Konoha who didn't respect him. Children admired him immensely. The words spoken by the Third Hokage, this idol, at this time were deeply imprinted on the children's minds.

After the speech, it was time for class assignments. Beichen Haotian was assigned to Class 1. In the class, Beichen Haotian saw a familiar figure. Although still young, with golden hair and a smile as gentle as the winter sun. Yes, that was Minato Namikaze.

After the class assignments, they were led by the teacher to their classroom, where their seats were arranged, and they introduced themselves. Finally, sitting in his seat, Beichen Haotian listened to the class instructor reiterate the Will of Fire. Although the content was slightly different, the essence remained the same.

With such constant indoctrination, impressionable and naive children would naturally internalize the Will of Fire. Fortunately, Beichen Haotian was an adult with his own thoughts, otherwise, he would also be influenced. Beichen Haotian would only act according to his own ideas.

After the explanation, school was dismissed. Today was registration, and formal classes would begin tomorrow. Carrying his wooden sword, no one laughed at Beichen Haotian; in the ninja world, there were too many children who dreamed of becoming ninjas.

After escaping through various "claws" and returning home, he continued to cultivate according to his plan.

He wasn't satisfied with the Japanese names he found, so he decided to use names with a Chinese flair. This is a new book, please support it with collections and recommendations. Thank you! I'll mention that this book will not feature excessive suffering for the protagonist and will be relatively relaxed! If you like it, please stay and read; if not, please leave quietly. Thank you. I'll also address an issue: as a novice, I ignored the quotation marks in the earlier dialogue. This is my mistake! I have over ninety chapters of draft saved, and my work hours are quite long, so revising them all at once takes a lot of time. I will try to revise them as soon as possible, so please bear with me, dear readers. Thank you. In the newly added chapters, I will pay attention to the issue of quotation marks.

I have now basically completed the revision of the punctuation issues, but there may be a small amount of omissions. Please bear with me. This is my first book with such a problem; the later chapters will not have the punctuation issues of the earlier ones. This book is quite self-indulgent, and it will likely be updated for about another month. The length is not long, and I have actually put most of my energy into the next book.
