The Strongest Swordmaster in the World of Naruto

Mizu no Kokyu: Jū no Kata: Seisei Ruten (Water Breathing: Tenth Form: Constant Flow) is a technique that allows Aoki to unleash consecutive attacks, with each rotation of the attack growing stronger. This movement creates deadly slashes that are not only fast but also possess great destructive power over time, making it one of the most aggressive techniques in Aoki's arsenal.

Meanwhile, Mizu no Kokyu: Jū Ichi no Kata: Nagi (Water Breathing: Eleventh Form: Calm Surface) focuses on defense. In this technique, Aoki halts all movement of his body, using extraordinary skill to incapacitate and nullify his opponent's attacks. While this technique is highly effective in stopping a single powerful attack, its weakness lies in its inability to counter consecutive attacks and rapid strikes from various directions.

Now, Aoki has achieved a significant milestone—mastering the eleven techniques of Mizu no Kokyu. Aoki's mastery of each form of these techniques is a testament to his hard work and dedication over the past four years.

However, even though Aoki's abilities have reached a high level, he feels that strength is not the only thing he needs.

In the past year, Aoki has often contemplated his future.

Rin and Obito will soon graduate from the academy and join Kakashi in a team, while Aoki feels it is time for him to step out of Konoha.

That thought continues to haunt Aoki—that the experience of fighting in real battlefields is far more important than merely training in the village.

Aoki devises a new plan. He decides to become a bounty hunter, hunting rogue ninjas who have a price on their heads.

However, Aoki is not the reckless type; he knows that hunting ninjas still affiliated with the village would cause significant problems.

Therefore, Aoki's targets will only be defectors, ninjas who have left their villages and chosen a life on the run.

Becoming a bounty hunter is not just about making a living, but also about honing Aoki's skills to become even stronger.

By facing ninjas from various backgrounds and abilities, Aoki hopes to gain much broader experience, both in tactics and combat skills.

Additionally, with Aoki becoming more renowned as a bounty hunter, he hopes that one day his name will be known as the strongest swordsman in the ninja world.

That thought ignites Aoki's spirit. The desire to be recognized as the Strongest Swordsman, to prove himself among the strongest, and the wish not only to become stronger but also wiser in battle, leads Aoki to decide that a new adventure is about to begin.

"Uwaah... Is it morning already?" murmured a black-haired boy, his eyes still half-closed, his voice sounding hoarse as if caught between sleep and wakefulness.

The boy wore a black kimono adorned with cherry blossom patterns, contrasting with the soft light sneaking in through the window. He sat on a simple mattress, his sleepy eyes gazing outside, tracing the colors of the brightening morning sky.

"Hmm... it seems tomorrow will be graduation day for Rin and Obito," the boy said slowly, scratching his head lazily. "I need to get ready to leave Konoha." Aoki's voice sounded flat, as if heavy feelings mixed with the routine he had been living for too long.

Aoki looked around his messy home. Leftover food was scattered in various corners, piles of dirty dishes still lingered on the table, and papers filled with planning scribbles lay strewn across the floor.

Last night, Aoki allowed himself to relax a bit—something he rarely did. Snacks were scattered here and there, the result of a night filled with thoughts about Aoki's future.

A Shaman from the Uzumaki Clan in the World of Naruto

A man named Reiji from Earth, who is a shaman from Japan and comes from a famous family of shamans. Reiji is a talented and very powerful shaman. However, Reiji then disappears when facing the resurrected Yamata no Orochi, who attempts to kill people.

Instead of ending up in heaven or hell, Reiji finds himself in a room. In that room, there are various children with red hair. Seeing this, Reiji is confused and astonished.

"Hey, what's wrong with you?" asks a girl next to Reiji.

"What? Who are you? No, who are all of you?" Reiji instead questions back, staring in wonder.

"What do you mean? Aren't we all Uzumaki?" the girl replies with a puzzled expression.

"... Oh damn," Reiji mutters quietly.]
