After saying goodbye to Motto, Meikyō pondered alone, then took out the Ama-no-Ohabari and swung it forcefully into the sky without using Chakra.
Although it made a sound of tearing through the air and produced a visible shockwave, its power was greatly diminished.
In terms of swordsmanship, Meikyō was already quite good. After training in the Demon Slayer World Ninja World. Furthermore, after gaining swordsmanship experience from Tsugikuni Yoriichi human, he greatly supplemented his swordsmanship foundation and went even further.
Although Motto's swordsmanship was decent enough to be considered that of a swordsman, Meikyō could sense that his own swordsmanship was actually superior to Modo's.
In other words, Meikyō's swordsmanship has definitely reached the level of being able to unleash Flying Slash, but his physical abilities are still insufficient. Fudō Chakra, it is difficult for him to possess the explosive power to unleash Flying Slash.
"You still need to eat more and practice more. It would be best to find some Taijutsu masters to learn how to train in Taijutsu."
Meikyō sighed softly.
With this kind of planning, there are so many things to do in the future.
If I could join the Navy, that wouldn't be a problem, because it has experts in all fields, as well as former Admiral Zephyr, who has excellent teaching abilities.
Unfortunately, Kizaru is already part of the Navy's system.
Given his mastery of Observation Haki, he must have already memorized my aura; I might not be able to hide it from him.
Being searched by World Government, I'm better off traveling alone.
Next, Meikyō plans to travel around the Pirate World whenever he has free time, challenging sword masters and searching for ways to cultivate Haki.
One month later.
Naruto World, Uchiha Clan Compound.
Just a week ago, Uchiha Fugaku, the head of the Uchiha Clan, returned from the front lines of the battle against Iwagakure.
They were carried back.
He didn't die, but he was seriously injured. This was only after Tsunade treated him; otherwise, he would have been finished long ago.
Even so, he needed a long time to recover, so he was sent back to the village.
"Your injuries have healed considerably. I expect you can start some simple ninja training in about two weeks. Remember not to extract too much Chakra during this time, so as not to affect your recovery. Mikoto, remember to change the Fugaku clan chief's medicine regularly every day. I will come back in two weeks to change the prescription. You can just go to the Nara Family's shop to get it then."
As Meikyō skillfully changed the bandages on Uchiha Fugaku, she spoke to Uchiha Mikoto beside her.
In Mikoto's arms, she was holding Uchiha Itachi, who was fast asleep in swaddling clothes.
"Thank you so much, Meikyō!"
Uchiha Mikoto expressed her gratitude to the Meikyō.
"Alright, Mikoto, why don't you take Itachi out for a stroll? Meikyō and I have some things to discuss."
Uchiha Fugaku had been keeping his eyes closed, suddenly spoke up and added a sentence.
"It's a very important thing."
"I understand. Then I'll take Itachi to visit Kushina's house first."
As a smart woman, Uchiha Mikoto didn't ask any questions, but obediently carried Itachi out of the room.
"Fugaku, is there something you need?"
After Uchiha Mikoto walked away, Meikyō asked Fugaku.
"Yes, it's something very important!"
Uchiha Fugaku opened his eyes, revealing that he also possessed a pair of Mangekyō Sharingan, divided into three areas by three long stripes of patterns, each area containing a small black dot.
"In fact, before I opened these eyes, I always envied you because everyone in the clan said that you had opened the Mangekyō Sharingan and had become the representative of the Uchiha Clan in the Ninja World. You were a pillar of the clan that was even more important than me, the clan head."
Uchiha Fugaku spoke with a hint of reminiscence on his face.
Meikyō did not answer.
Because he knew that there was more to the story about Uchiha Fugaku.
"So when the Third Hokage approached me and asked me to lead the clan's elite forces into battle, I agreed without hesitation. I wanted everyone to know that I, Uchiha Fugaku, was no less capable. So I led a portion of the clan's elite forces onto the battlefield, hoping to achieve great things and revitalize the clan's reputation, just like you, Meikyō."
"After several desperate attempts, I barely managed to earn the same name as you, Meikyō, 'Fierce Eye' on the battlefield. So I wanted to do the same thing as you, which is to defeat the Tailed Beast and prove that I am also a strong person who can contend with the Tailed Beast."
Meikyō actually understood what Uchiha Fugaku was thinking at the time.
That's because the Uchiha Clan is like that; they have an arrogant and easily inflated personality, just like Uchiha Sasuke in the original work. Whenever he thinks that the Tenki is shining and the rain has stopped, he can do whatever he wants again, he always ends up getting beaten up.
"I set off with my most trusted companions, attempting to trap the Four-Tails with the Uchiha Flame Formation and then concentrate our firepower to kill him."
A flicker of pain and regret flashed in Uchiha Fugaku's eyes.
"Every member of the clan was excited, thinking that this success would make them famous and become renowned powerhouses in the Ninja World. However, we overestimated ourselves and underestimated the power of the Tailed Beast, and ultimately failed."
"When I saw my closest and most trusted clansmen perish in the Four-Tails' magma to protect me, their incompetent leader, I finally awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan, but..."
Uchiha Fugaku lowered his head in silence, a tear glistening in the corner of his eye.
"Please accept my condolences, Clan Chief Fugaku. One must always look forward. If one is defeated by mere setbacks and hardships, one is not worthy of bearing the name of the Uchiha."
After considering for a moment, Meikyō comforted Fugaku in a way that was as in line with the Uchiha Clan's customs as possible.
He awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan simply because he was lucky enough to receive high-level creative power from Tsugikuni Yoriichi, which allowed his Sharingan to evolve. Unlike other Uchiha, he did not have any heart-wrenching experiences.
"I understand. I'm sorry, Meikyō, for letting you see me lose my composure."
Uchiha Fugaku took a deep breath and suppressed his emotions.
"Clan Chief Fugaku, I think what you want to say is not just about your experience of opening your eyes."
Meikyō asked Uchiha Fugaku.
"Come with me to the Naka Shrine. I have something to show you, something very important."
Uchiha Fugaku donned a robe embroidered with the Uchiha Clan Crest and looked at Meikyō.
"Good."
Meikyō nodded gently.
The two walked very slowly.
This was mainly because Uchiha Fugaku's injuries had not healed, making it difficult for him to move around.
However, since the Naka Shrine was located within the Uchiha Clan Compound and was not far away, the two arrived at the Naka Shrine after walking for only a short time.
