Naruto: Releasing Chakra Limits at the Start

Chapter 385 Yoru's Strength Shocks Koushirou and Kuina

Upon hearing Ace's words, Luffy nodded and said, "I will definitely train hard with my grandfather, and in ten years, I will definitely become the captain of Yoru."

Ace frowned, somewhat annoyed. Luffy used to be a little kid who always followed him around, but now all he could think about was that guy named Yoru.

However, he also became increasingly curious about Yoru, wondering what kind of person Yoru was that could attract such attention from someone as oblivious as Luffy.

On the other side, Ye Yu arrived at the Yixin Dojo alone by boat. Although he arrived quite early, all the students in the Yixin Dojo had already been cultivating for a long time.

Shimotsuki Koshiro brought Yoru to the courtyard.

This is where beginners practice.

Kuina stood beside Shimotsuki Koshiro, holding her long sword, and looked at Yoru.

She had just finished her cultivation, so sweat was dripping from her short black hair.

She was only 9 years old, yet she worked so hard. No wonder she was already invincible in Shimotsuki Village at the age of 9.

Although Shimotsuki Koshiro said that Kuina would never become the world's greatest swordsman.

But Ye Yu felt that she would at least become a very powerful swordsman in the future.

This is why Yoru didn't know much about Kuina and was unaware that her future path as a swordsman would be cut off by the Grand Staircase.

Kuina was also somewhat curious about Ye Yu, because Ye Yu was someone Makino brought personally, and she had a good relationship with Makino, so she couldn't help but pay more attention to Ye Yu.

Yoru was taken to the training ground by Shimotsuki Koshiro, where there were various equipment for training strength, as well as some wooden swords.

Koushirou stood in front of Yoru and said seriously, "You are a beginner, so you can't start by learning swordsmanship. Instead, you need to learn strength and endurance."

Yoru did not refute.

He also roughly guessed that that was the right thing to do.

In essence, it all comes down to physical training, because the foundation of swordsmanship is physical strength.

In this world, the strongest individuals can fight each other for days and nights, or even more than ten days, without any problems.

It's easy to imagine how outrageous the physical strength of those masters must be.

Shimotsuki Koushirou saw that Yoru showed no doubt whatsoever, and not even the slightest sign of refusal.

He was quite satisfied, but also somewhat surprised that Ye Yu was too calm.

You should know that children like Ye Yu are very impatient when they hear about training their strength and endurance.

Everyone wanted to learn swordsmanship from the very beginning.

Yoru did not show such emotions.

Regardless of what Yoru was thinking, Shimotsuki Koushirou was very satisfied.

Because Ye Yu was a new student, the students around him who were cultivating kept glancing at him.

Watching a spectacle is human nature, especially when it involves people personally brought by Shimotsuki Koshiro and Kuina.

Shimotsuki Koshiro led Yoru to a stone and wood barbell and pointed to the smallest one, saying, "This stone barbell weighs 30 kilograms. Try to lift it."

Ye Yu is just an ordinary ten-year-old boy, and a 30-kilogram barbell is already very heavy for him.

This was Shimotsuki Koushirou's idea.

Little did he know that Yoru had just broken free of his physical limitations, and the immense power within him was no less than that of Shimotsuki Koshiro.

However, Yoru did not give up just because the 30-kilogram barbell was not difficult for him.

He walked silently to the barbell, and Kuina, watching Yoru's movements, actually felt worried for him.

"Can he really lift it? That's a 30-kilogram barbell. He's never exercised before. That weight is too much for him."

"That's what Guina thought to herself."

But in the next instant, Yoru gripped the barbell tightly with both hands.

He effortlessly lifted the 30-kilogram barbell, his expression completely calm, without feeling any pressure whatsoever.

Both Shimotsuki Koshiro and Kuina were somewhat surprised.

They had previously assumed that Ye Yu was just an ordinary person because he showed no signs of training. Moreover, they thought it was too late for him to start learning swordsmanship at his age, and they hadn't heard any rumors about him in the vicinity.

This means that Ye Yu did not show any other talents.

It would be very difficult for someone as ordinary as Yoru to lift this 30-kilogram barbell.

But Yoru lifted the barbell without any apparent difficulty.

Shimotsuki Koshiro's gaze toward Yoru finally showed a hint of color.

After Yoru put down the barbell, Shimotsuki Koshiro nodded with satisfaction and smiled, "Your strength is not bad, but I want to know where your limit is? Your strength should be more than this, right?"

Yoru nodded and looked at Shimotsuki Koshiro, saying, "Indeed, it's more than that, but I've never tested what my power limit is."

Kuina stood beside Shimotsuki Koshiro, looking at Yoru with a slightly narrowed gaze.

At this moment, she sensed the aura of a powerful figure emanating from Ye Yu, and she had a feeling that Ye Yu's future would surpass hers.

This feeling made her very resentful. She had worked so hard and defeated so many people, many of whom were adults. Ye Yu had only started learning swordsmanship at the age of ten. How could he possibly surpass her?

It's just that I'm a little stronger, how could that be?

Kuina's gaze towards Yoru showed a hint of competitive intent.

Yoru didn't need to hide himself; he knew that even if he revealed his current strength, Shimotsuki Koshiro wouldn't spread the word.

Moreover, it's just a matter of exposing one's strength.

Shimotsuki Koshiro led Yoru to another barbell, this time a full size larger than the previous one.

Guina was somewhat surprised and couldn't help but say, "Father, this is a 100-kilogram barbell. Isn't that too much pressure on him?"

Even for Guina, lifting a 100-kilogram barbell is a struggle.

Shimotsuki Koshiro didn't say anything, he just looked at Yoru.

Yoru nodded and walked to the barbell.

Kuina finally became worried and said to Yoru, "Don't push yourself. This weight will crush you."

Ye Yu simply smiled, walked to the barbell, and gripped the barbell bar tightly with both hands.

The next moment, to the astonishment of Shimotsuki Koshiro and Kuina, Yoru lifted it up effortlessly.

Even Shimotsuki Koushirou was shocked this time.

He said, "This strength is terrifying. It seems he relies purely on talent. His body shows no signs of training. It seems I was wrong about him before."

Previously, Shimotsuki Koshiro thought that at Yoru's age, starting to learn swordsmanship at such a young age, he wouldn't achieve much.

I never expected Ye Yu to have such excellent basic conditions.

Strength is very important in learning swordsmanship, because all sword moves require strength; in fact, physical strength is what allows them to be executed effectively.

For someone of Ye Yu's age to possess such terrifying strength without any training is truly exceptional. Such basic abilities are ideal for learning swordsmanship.
