Red Hair Shanks in Naruto World - Chapter 4
Chapter 4 Zabuza’s realization
It can destroy everything. This sword alone is comparable to A-level ninjutsu.
He didn’t use any chakra power, just relying on the ordinary-looking katana in his hand.
Is this really something humans can do?
“How can this be!!”
Zabuza looked at the handle of the sword in his hand. His executioner sword was completely broken, leaving only the handle.
But even such a famous sword couldn’t use such a terrifying slash.
Does that mean it’s not a problem with the sword? Is it a human problem? Am I so weak?
No, if we say we are weak, then the Seven Ninja Swordsmen are all weak. The only possibility is that the people from the Uzumaki clan in front of us are too strong.
“As long as you work hard, it’s not difficult to do this. You probably haven’t seen a similar strong person, right? But I have seen many strong people.”
Shanks looked at Zabuza who was trembling all over. When Luffy and Zoro first met Hawkeye, the pirates also looked like this when they saw Hawkeye cut off their ship with a single blow.
Extremely shocking.
How could that man rowing a small raft cut off a ship with a single blow?
To this Shanks can only say – Welcome to the world of the Grand Line.
“Can I… also do it?”
There was a hint of hope in Zabuza’s tone. With such powerful power and means, could he really do it?
In his heart, Zabuza desperately hoped to get Shanks’ recognition. As long as Shanks said that he could do it, then he would definitely believe it. Even if it was a false lie, Zabuza would be willing to work hard for it.
Zabuza is not a heartless person. On the contrary, as one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, Zabuza would directly betray his Ninja Village, which just shows his feelings for his village.
It just shows that Zabuza is not a ruthless and cold ninja.
Because that village holds Zabuza’s hope.
But with the advent of the blood mist policy, what Zabuza saw was that the village was getting worse and worse. The happiness that was supposed to come with peace was gone. The village was collapsing, and people seemed to have jumped from one hell to another. In hell.
As the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of Kirigakure Village, Zabuza’s identity goes without saying, and he can even be said to be the backbone of the village.
But he was not loyal to Mizukage, but after seeing the changes in Mizukage and the village, he chose to become a rebel ninja.
Perhaps the only one who knows what kind of person Zabuza is, is Kisame.
He is also members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, he is also rebel ninjas from Kirigakure Village, and he also value emotions.
The Seven Ninja Swordsmen were all out-and-out executioners, but Zabuza and Kisame believed in their hearts that they were executioners for the coming of a new era and for the peace of the new era.
The fact is that they were wrong, and neither the new era nor peace has arrived.
Shanks saw the expectation in Zabuza’s eyes, a man with a firm will.
He didn’t know what the man in front of him had gone through, how he got the injuries on his body, and how the sword in his hand was broken, but a man with a firm will would not remain silent in this sea.
“sure.”
After hearing Shanks’ answer, Zabuza no longer cared about his personal image.
“Shanks, please teach me swordsmanship!”
Zabuza knelt in front of Shanks and buried his head very low. It was not for himself, but for hope, the hope of becoming stronger, and the hope of returning to Kirigakure Village.
His strength is not enough, not enough to subvert the Mizukage’s rule, not enough to overthrow those people.
“I won’t go to sea until I develop my Haki skills, so it’s up to you how much you can learn during this period.”
Shanks smiled. The man in front of him fit his stereotype of people in the pirate world. Everyone has responsibilities.
“Besides, my swordsmanship can only be regarded as a beginner’s level. When you become stronger, you will naturally see more strong men.”
Zabuza naturally agrees with Shanks’ words. Although he is already an elite Jonin, there are still many strong men in the ninja world that he has not yet come into contact with at this level.
The legendary three ninjas, the shadows of each ninja village, the tailed beasts… and the elite jounin who made their names known in the war.
“My target is this powerful man at the top of the ninja world. Only in this way can I return to the village and kill those people.”
A fire of hope lit up in Zabuza’s heart.
If he could learn this kind of swordsmanship from Shanks, he would definitely go back again.
“I will become stronger.”
Zabuza raised his head with firm eyes.
The next day, there was another wooden house by the lake.
Zabuza stayed, and there was one more person beside Shanks.
“Swinging the sword is the most important point in swordsmanship training. During this process, the swordsman must become familiar with the sword in his hand. This familiarity is like treating his most trusted companion.”
Shanks opened his mouth to explain while swinging his sword.
The most important thing in the pirate world is faith.
Therefore, as a swordsman, you must also strengthen your beliefs.
“And the sword in the swordsman’s hand is our most trusted companion.”
Whatever Shanks said, Zabuza would do it.
“Trust the sword in your hand?”
Zabuza looked at the handle of the sword he was wielding.
If, like Shanks said, he has never had this thought, the weapons in his hands are just props and weapons after all.
“Even cold weapons are still alive.”
“My swordsmanship is different from your assassination skill. Your assassination skill is for killing people, but my swordsmanship is just pure swordsmanship.”
Shanks explained.
Through understanding, he also knew what Zabuza’s swordsmanship was.
In the art of assassination, the sword in your hand is meant to take people’s lives. Everything is done to kill the enemy.
“Faster, sharper, and more powerful are not for the pursuit of murderous swordsmanship, but a purer direction.”
Shanks’ words also made Zabuza realize that his direction was completely different from Shanks’s.
As an executioner, the sword in his hand is always meant to take human life. This is the only thing the sword in his hand has to do.
“A sword that can only kill people cannot give people hope. How can such a sword cut through the blood mist and bring hope to the village?”
At this moment, Zabuza seemed to understand where he had gone wrong. Everything he had learned all along was wrong.
How could an executioner who only knew how to kill people bring hope to the village?
“I seem to understand.”
Zabuza nodded gratefully, his eyes becoming clear at this moment and no longer cold.
Seeing Zabuza’s change, Shanks was stunned.
Damn it, it turns out that this guy is also a genius. He realized it so quickly, but it took him almost a month to do it.
