The Strongest Swordmaster in the World of Naruto

Meanwhile, Aoki continued to focus on absorbing Natural Energy; his body felt more in sync with the flow of energy than the day before. Aoki sensed that the longer he practiced, the more skilled he became at controlling the Natural Energy entering his body.

(Morning)

After a night full of practicing absorbing Natural Energy, Aoki woke up with a warm, soothing feeling surrounding his body. It felt as if the Natural Energy had become a part of him, flowing gently yet powerfully through every fiber of his muscles.

Without wasting any time, Aoki began his morning routine. He did 100 push-ups, sit-ups, and squat jumps, then ran a distance of 10 kilometers. The workout ended with 100 sword swings, each movement accompanied by sharp focus.

After finishing his training, Aoki prepared breakfast for himself and Kuroshiro. Then he started eating with Kuroshiro, after which Aoki sat cross-legged in the yard and began absorbing Natural Energy again, repeating the process that had now become his daily routine.

After six full hours of absorbing Natural Energy, Aoki felt his body growing stronger. He stood up and headed to the bathroom to clean himself of the sweat that clung to him. Soon after, Aoki got ready for work; before leaving, he stopped by the restaurant to check on its condition.

"Yo, Boss!" Aoki greeted as he entered the workshop.

"Oh, Aoki, you're here," Kuzan replied, glancing at him. "You should get to work right away. Besides, you only need to work for three hours now, right?"

"Alright, Boss," Aoki replied as he walked to his weapon forging station.

As Aoki began working, his mind wandered to bigger things. 'Hmm... I have to leave the village someday, after I master the use of the sword and Natural Energy. My father's heirloom sword, while precious, isn't strong enough or durable. If it faced Gai's physical attacks, it would surely break,' Aoki thought with a hint of worry.

Aoki started preparing the materials for forging weapons, his mind continuously analyzing the situation. 'I need to get out of the village and find special metals, maybe in the black market in the Land of Fire. But that will be very difficult... hmm... ah, breathing!' Aoki thought, beginning the forging process with full concentration.

'Right, the Breathing Techniques from Kimetsu no Yaiba...' Aoki pondered. 'If I can master Natural Energy, maybe I can mimic—or even create—sword techniques like in that anime. A new breathing technique that I can use to fight, defend, and do various other things!'

The thought excited Aoki, but he soon realized the great challenge that awaited him. 'Hahaha, I am indeed clever, but it will take a lot of time, effort, and energy,' Aoki murmured to himself, feeling a bit tired. 'My life is filled with so many problems to think about...'

Yet, behind that fatigue, there was something else—a new purpose beginning to form within him. 'Before, I was just afraid of an uncertain and dangerous future. But now, I have a little purpose, something to strive for in order to survive!' A thin smile appeared on his face, filled with new determination.

'Alright, let's finish this work, then continue training with one of the great ninjas from Konoha—White Fang of Konoha,' Aoki thought, filled with enthusiasm, imagining the upcoming training.

(Afternoon Approaching Evening)

"Huuhh... finally done," Aoki murmured as he let out a sigh of relief, wiping the sweat from his forehead. However, his eyes suddenly focused on the entrance of the workshop, where a figure he recognized was standing.

"Ah, Uncle Sakumo," Aoki said, surprised but happy to see White Fang of Konoha waiting for him. "Are we going to start training now?"

Sakumo Hatake, with a friendly smile on his face, nodded. "That's right, let's go, Aoki," Sakumo replied in a warm, enthusiastic voice.
