Armament Haki and Geppo That Shocked Yuko Kaguya

"Hehe, Aunt, don't worry. With my current Shili, even without using Chakra, I can handle most Elite Jonin."

Half-Moon Island, Takenaka Clan.

As Takenaka Kaguya's calm words fell, the worry in Yuko Kaguya's eyes eased somewhat.

After spending these days together, she knew that Takenaka Kaguya would not lie to her. Although she was not a Ninja and had no idea how strong Takenaka Kaguya was without Chakra, since he had said so, there surely would not be much of a problem.

Besides, if he truly encountered a life-or-death crisis, he could simply give up cultivating the Yin Seal.

"Mm, as long as you know what you're doing, Takenaka. Aunt isn't a Ninja, so I don't know what dangers you might encounter while carrying out missions.

"But you must understand that if anything happens to you, Aunt will no longer have the courage to go on living," Yuko Kaguya said seriously.

"Alright, Aunt, rest assured. Even if I don't use Chakra, as long as I don't run into top-tier powerhouses like Hashirama Senju or Madara Uchiha, it would basically be impossible for anyone to kill me."

As Takenaka Kaguya spoke, he thought for a moment, drew the famed blade Shusui from his waist, and with a thought, instantly covered his arm in Armament Haki.

Then, beneath Yuko Kaguya's astonished and terrified gaze, the famed blade Shusui slashed directly at the arm covered in Armament Haki.

"Don't!"

"Clang!"

The instant the famed blade Shusui came into contact with his arm, the sound of metal striking metal rang out.

"Takenaka, what are you doing?" Yuko Kaguya hurried forward, grabbed Takenaka Kaguya's arm, and examined it.

In an instant, Yuko Kaguya discovered in shock that Takenaka Kaguya's arm was completely unharmed. Not even his skin had been broken.

"Takenaka, this is...?" Yuko Kaguya asked in amazement.

After all, she had seen this blade in Takenaka Kaguya's hands before. With just a light sweep, it had cut a tree half a meter thick cleanly in two.

Yet now, the famed blade Shusui, so sharp it could slice through iron like mud, had not even scratched his skin. This was truly beyond Yuko Kaguya's understanding.

"Aunt, this is a new technique I invented. It can be used without Chakra, and I named it Haki.

"Haki is divided into three types: Observation Haki, Armament Haki, and Conqueror's Haki.

"Observation Haki can predict an enemy's moves in advance and detect an enemy's location.

"Armament Haki can be applied to the surface of the body or to weapons. It can not only increase attack power, but also strengthen defense.

"What I used just now was Armament Haki.

"As for the last kind, Conqueror's Haki, I still can't control it yet. I'll let you see it someday," Takenaka Kaguya explained with a smile.

Although it was rather shameless to say that he had invented Three-Color Haki, it was a cultivation method that did not belong to the Naruto World. If he did not claim to have invented it, how else could he explain it?

"Ding, congratulations, Host. The thickness of your skin has increased by a few more points."

Suddenly, before Yuko Kaguya could speak, the system's teasing voice immediately sounded in his mind.

"System, you're getting a little too involved."

Takenaka Kaguya snapped back in his mind.

After that, the system's voice fell silent. Only then did Yuko Kaguya reveal a happy smile, saying excitedly, "That's wonderful, Takenaka. You really are a genius, to actually invent such a technique that doesn't require Chakra.

"With this, even if you don't use Chakra, you can rely solely on swordsmanship and Haki without worrying about your safety."

Yuko Kaguya did not ask why he had developed such a technique, because she knew that in the war that had ended less than a year ago, quite a few members of the Kaguya Clan had died on the battlefield.

And the reason Takenaka Kaguya had developed such a technique was probably just to survive, nothing more.

"Mm, so Aunt, you don't need to worry about me. After all, before I become the strongest in the Shinobi World, nothing will happen to me," Takenaka Kaguya said with a smile as he sheathed the famed blade Shusui.

"Alright, Aunt understands. Eat quickly. After you finish, rest for a while, then set off for the Land of Whirlpools," Yuko Kaguya said with a smile.

"Thanks for the meal!"

Very quickly, Takenaka Kaguya swept through enough food for more than ten people, his stomach stuffed round. If Yuko Kaguya had not already grown used to his appetite, she would probably have been very worried about him.

After eating, he helped Yuko Kaguya clean up the kitchen. Then Takenaka Kaguya returned to his room to rest. It was not until two in the afternoon that he packed his things and prepared to depart for the Land of Whirlpools.

A short while later, on the shore.

"Takenaka, didn't you have the village prepare a boat for you?" Yuko Kaguya asked in confusion.

Although Half-Moon Island lay at the border of the Land of Fire, the Land of Water, and the Land of Whirlpools, even the nearest point to the Land of Whirlpools was a full ten kilometers away.

If it were an ordinary lake, one could cross it by treading water. But this was the ocean, with raging waves. Even the most skilled Water Release Ninja could not simply walk across it.

"Hehe, Aunt, I didn't send word to the village to arrange a boat. I'm planning to fly straight over!" Takenaka Kaguya said with a grin.

"What, fly over?" Yuko Kaguya was utterly astonished.

She knew that there were Ninja in this Shinobi World who could fly. For example, Hoshigakure, the obscure village Takenaka Kaguya had mentioned before, had Ninja who used a flying ninjutsu.

Then there was Mu, the Tsuchikage's assistant from Iwagakure. He possessed an extremely formidable Kekkei Tōta—Dust Release—which could also allow him to fly freely through the air.

But clearly, her nephew knew neither of those two ninjutsu.

"Aunt, watch carefully. Don't blink."

Under Yuko Kaguya's astonished gaze, Takenaka Kaguya stepped forward. In the next instant, his entire body appeared directly in midair. Not only that, with every step he took, his falling body remained suspended in the air.

Heavens! Takenaka actually knows a ninjutsu like this? Yuko Kaguya was shocked beyond belief.

"Aunt, go back. I'll be leaving first. When I return, I'll bring you a gift."

Takenaka Kaguya said with a smile from midair.

"Be careful. Come back safely," Yuko Kaguya called out, waving to him.

"Got it!"

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Very quickly, as Takenaka Kaguya used Geppo, his body moved through the air as if he were running, rapidly heading toward the Land of Whirlpools.

On the shore, Yuko Kaguya watched Takenaka Kaguya until he was nearly out of sight. A smile appeared on her face as she murmured, "Takenaka really gave me so many surprises today.

"But that's good too. The stronger he is, the safer he'll be."
