Heart of Steel Half-Morph Sword Saint, Madara is willing to call me the strongest

Hyuga clan, living area.

In the ancestral house of the third elder’s lineage.

There was a depressing and heavy atmosphere in the air.

At the head of the conference table sat a silver-haired old man with deep eyes and a weather-beaten face full of traces of time.

He is the third elder of the Hyuga clan, Hinata Akira.

In front of him, Hinata Heshu was kneeling on the cold floor with his head lowered, not daring to look directly into Hinata Zhao's cold gaze.

Hinata Akira held a piece of paper intelligence in his hand, which contained a detailed record of Uchiha Yi's performance on the Western Front.

If the authenticity of this information is correct, it means that Uchiha Yi is no longer a genius who has not yet grown up.

Instead, he is a top ninja who is qualified to inherit the title of "Konoha White Fang".

Even the Hyuga clan must respect ninjas with such strength and must not offend them easily.

"You shouldn't provoke Uchiha Yi. His talent and strength are enough to affect the future of Konoha." Hinata Akira's words were filled with dissatisfaction and warning.

Hinata Heshu was shocked. He had never thought that his grandfather would think so highly of Uchiha Yi.

In his impression, although Uchiha Yi has become famous, he is only a member of the younger generation after all, and his strength and influence are limited.

Now after hearing what his grandfather said, he realized that he still underestimated Uchiha Yi.

Hinata Akira continued, "The Uchiha clan is showing signs of resurgence. We, the Hyuga clan, need to be more cautious. As one of the heirs of the clan, you should understand your responsibilities and mission. Uchiha Yi is not someone you can provoke at will. You must never provoke him again."

"As for that child Shiori."

The Third Elder's voice suddenly softened, "She is your Second Grandfather's granddaughter. Although she is from a branch family, the talent and strength she has shown are much stronger than you were back then."

"Remember, protecting your people and maintaining your family is the attitude that the heirs of our Hyuga clan should have."

Hinata Heshu, who was kneeling on the floor, lowered his head and was silent for a long time before whispering, "I understand, Grandpa."

……

The mountain behind the Uchiha clan’s residence.

Under a silent banyan tree forest, a young figure sat upright.

The sunlight shone through the sparse treetops, casting patches of light on his body. Everything around him was quiet, with only the rustling of wind through the leaves and the occasional chirping of birds.

Uchiha Yi sat upright on the soft grass, holding a scroll tightly in his hand.

The purple scroll was densely packed with content, recording the Kusanagi swordsmanship that Orochimaru had recently developed. It contained not only complicated hand seals, but also methods on how to precisely control chakra to drive the Kusanagi sword.

He has studied this scroll countless times and basically understood the principle of Kusanagi swordsmanship of flying swords in the air.

First of all, Kusanagi swordsmanship requires extremely high precision control of chakra, which requires the chakra to be attached to the Kusanagi sword and not be rejected by the sword body.

Secondly, it is to use the characteristic of Kusanagi sword that it can communicate with the caster's thoughts, and remotely control the Kusanagi sword through the chakra attached to the sword, so as to realize the sword control in the void.

"I have mastered the theory of the technique, but the actual operation is far from as simple as I imagined."

In the past few days, Uchiha Yi has spent almost all his time practicing Kusanagi swordsmanship, and has experienced countless failures.

Uchiha Yi stood up and drew out the Kusanagi sword from his waist - Shadow Blade.

Then, following the instructions on the scroll, he took a deep breath, and the chakra in his body began to flow slowly and gathered in his palm. As he gently squeezed it, the chakra seemed to be given life and flowed along his arm to the hilt.

The Kusanagi sword seemed to sense Uchiha Yi's thoughts, and the silver light on the sword became even brighter.

As the fluctuations of chakra synchronized with his heartbeat, an invisible bond seemed to be established between the two.

"call out--"

Uchiha Yi waved the shadow blade in his hand, the flow of chakra and the movement of his body were perfectly integrated, and every time he swung the sword, there was a sound of breaking through the air.

As time passed, sweat gradually soaked Uchiha Yi's clothes, but his eyes became sharper and his movements became more and more smooth and natural, as if he had become one with the Kusanagi sword.

"Wow—"

The silver sword energy was so powerful that it even left faint traces of light and shadow in the air.

"Control the sword with your heart, and the sword will follow your heart."

Uchiha Yi chanted in a low voice, his eyes closed, relying entirely on perception and mind control.

In an instant, the shadow blade flew out of his hand and hovered in the air. The tip of the sword trembled slightly, releasing circles of tiny chakra ripples.

Every thought of his was transformed into the trajectory of the sword.

In mid-air, the shadow blade turned into a silver light, sometimes rapidly shuttling back and forth, sometimes lightly turning around.

"This is the art of controlling the sword!"

Uchiha Yi couldn't help but feel his heart shaking and he was extremely excited.

After many days of practice, I finally mastered the basic skills of Kusanagi swordsmanship today.

……

A month later.

Inside the back mountain training ground.

Uchiha Yi stood quietly in place, with a black sword floating in front of him.

He slowly closed his eyes, formed seals with his hands, and a pure and powerful chakra surged out of his body, surrounded his body, and then accurately injected into the shadow blade in front of him.

The sword instantly shone with silver light, as if it was endowed with a soul, resonating with Uchiha Yi's thoughts.

He began to practice more complex sword-wielding exercises, no longer just simple swings.

Uchiha Yi's figure suddenly flashed, and he appeared ten meters away like a ghost. At the same time, his control of the shadow blade did not slow down due to the distance. The shadow blade drew a straight arc in the air, moving precisely according to his thoughts.

He tried a bolder move, letting the shadow blade spin around his body, forming a defensive whirlwind.

"This move is called Shadow Blade Whirlwind!"

This was a defensive sword technique he developed himself. Under the dense sword shadows, ordinary ninjutsu could not get close at all.

"go with!"

As Uchiha Yi pointed with his right hand, a layer of silver sword light enveloped the edge of the Shadow Blade.

“Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh—”

The shadow blade suddenly split into dozens of sword shadows, and each sword shadow stabbed at the targets placed around with incredible precision.

There were continuous "whooshing" sounds, and a series of shallow marks were left on the target, but not a single point was penetrated. This was the ultimate display of chakra control.

When the last sword shadow passed by, Uchiha Yi slowly made a gesture to retract his sword, and the dozens of invisible swords turned into silver light and finally disappeared into the air.

In an instant, dozens of sword shadows disappeared, and only the black sword remained in the void.

Uchiha Yi waved his right hand, and the shadow blade flashed and automatically returned to his hand, and the light of the sword gradually converged.

"This move can create dozens of sword shadows with one sword. How about calling it 'Sword Comes'?"

Having read so many novels about cultivating immortals and watched so many fantasy TV dramas in the previous life, who doesn’t have a dream of becoming a sword immortal?

Uchiha Yi had imagined that scene countless times in his mind, pointing his right hand to the sky and shouting:

Here comes the sword!

"Forget it, it's a bit too exaggerated. Let's think of something simple and low-key."

"Shadow Blade·Sword Domain!"

The name is good.

Uchiha Yi nodded slightly and confirmed the name of his newly developed sword move.

During this period, while he basically mastered Kusanagi swordsmanship, he also developed two of his own moves.

One move for defense, one move for attack.

After mastering the Kusanagi sword technique, Uchiha Yi became the second man in the ninja world who could wield a sword.

This will be his secret weapon.

It was so unexpected that even a Kage-level warrior could not ignore his move.
