Chapter 71: Awakening of Haki

At this moment, Yu could 'see' clearly.

The two enormous square-shaped swords that had just passed by him, as if pulled by a strong magnetic force, unexpectedly whirled back and shot rapidly toward his back!

"Magnetism? So that's it..."

"It seems that Sand village has really spared no expense in trying to hunt me down this time."

After 'seeing' the giant square-shaped swords flying towards him from behind, Yu suddenly felt a moment of enlightenment. He glanced at the Sand Jonin standing nearby.

"Not only did they send a Scorch Release Kekkei Genkai Ninja after me, but also a Magnet Release Kekkei Genkai Ninja."

Yu's guess was correct. The Sand Jonin he had just faced was indeed a Magnet Release Kekkei Genkai Ninja. However, the way he utilized Magnet Release was different from the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa. Rasa used Magnet Release Chakra to manipulate sand and fight, while this Sand Jonin used Magnet Release Chakra to manipulate metallic ninja tools in battle.

His unique Magnetization Jutsu can magnetize anything he touches, and he can also transfer the magnetization from objects he touches to other things.

Through the recent Taijutsu exchange, the Sand Jonin magnetized Yu's body, so no matter what, the ninja tools he launched would inevitably hit Yu accurately!

"No one can escape my Magnetization Jutsu!"

"Just obediently meet your end, little brat!"

Seeing that Yu had actually detected his attack, the Magnet Release Ninja, Moi, standing nearby, revealed a confident smile at the corner of his mouth.

"No one... can escape, huh?"

"You're too short-sighted, young man..."

Upon hearing Moi's confident words, Yu raised the corners of his mouth disdainfully, and intense electrical currents began to emanate from his entire body.

Lightning Release: Chidori Flow!!

A dazzling and violent surge of electricity blossomed in the air, as Yu released the Chidori Current without hesitation.

"He's actually releasing Lightning Release from his entire body? This kid..."

Using a giant blade to confront Yu, the Scorch Release Ninja Pafuka, upon witnessing the formidable Lightning Release emanating from Yu's body, already felt a sense of unease in his heart.

Swiftly retreating, his right leg still tingled from the powerful electric current.

"Clang!!"

But what made the nearby Magnet Release Ninja Moi even more unacceptable was that the enormous square-shaped swords he shot out using Magnet Release, after being hit by the Chidori Current released from Yu's body, actually dropped to the ground with a resounding clang.

They appeared no different from ordinary shurikens.

"How is this possible?!"

"I've clearly magnetized your body with Magnetization Jutsu! You can't escape my attacks..."

Witnessing this scene, Moi widened his eyes.

Ordinary ninjas couldn't escape his attacks at all. With this Magnet Release Ninjutsu, he had slaughtered countless powerful ninjas in the past.

But now, the same Ninjutsu unexpectedly failed against the young man in front of him?

"There's nothing impossible in this world..."

"Do you not know that a powerful electric current can demagnetize you?"

Looking at the disbelieving expression on Magnet Release Ninja Moi's face, Yu remained indifferent.

"Besides, heating and impact can also cause the magnetic alignment of different magnetic domains to become inconsistent, weakening or even eliminating magnetism."

"But never mind... it's hard to explain to someone with your intelligence."

Facing Moi, who couldn't accept this fact, Yu seemed to transform into a physics professor, mercilessly mocking him.

"Damn it! Shut up, you brat!"

Feeling the mocking gaze from Yu, Moi suddenly became furious and ashamed.

Abandoning his Magnet Release Ninjutsu, he directly pulled out a long chain connecting numerous sharp square-shaped shurikens and charged straight at Yu.

Taijutsu, huh...

Watching Moi rapidly approaching, Yu remained immersed in the strange sensation he had just experienced.

At this moment, he only felt his five senses infinitely heightened and amplified, with every move of Magnet Release Ninja Moi before him within his perception and capture.

Even the next second, the Taijutsu movements and attacks Moi was about to make, he could predict in advance.

Could it be... this is it?

In an instant, he lowered his head, as if foreseeing it, effortlessly avoiding a roundhouse kick from Magnet Release Ninja Moi.

A sudden flash of lightning crossed Yu's mind, and he couldn't help but widen his amber eyes.

"Has it finally awakened?"

Without warning, Devil's voice suddenly echoed in Yu's mind.

However, at the same time, facing the pincer attack of two Kekkei Genkai Jonin and five or six elite Sand Ninjas, Yu had no time to pay attention to what she said.

"Damn..."

"How did this kid's Taijutsu suddenly become more powerful?!"

Several figures swiftly clashed among the trees.

Two Kekkei Genkai Jonin and the remaining five or six elite Sand Ninjas continuously executed exquisite Taijutsu to surround and attack Yu.

But watching Yu deftly dodge and counterattack before them, all the Sand Ninjas present became increasingly shocked and uneasy.

In their eyes, the white-haired youth before them seemed as if he had suddenly activated a cheat code—his Taijutsu movements were unbelievably swift, and each time he could predict their attacks as if he had foresight.

"So that's how it is..."

"Is it related to the modifications from the Thread Fruit?"

"I never thought that Haki could be awakened in the Naruto world..."

Facing the siege and pincer attacks of two Kekkei Genkai Jonin and five or six elite Sand Ninjas with calm composure.

Yu was well aware of the changes in his body—most likely, he had awakened Observation Haki from "One Piece."

Haki—It's an innate power possessed by all humans in the world of "One Piece."

This power is an inherent ability, similar to concepts like aura and intimidation, existing instinctively.

However, the majority of people cannot become aware of this power, and some may go through their entire lives without being able to unleash it.

Apart from Conquerors Haki, both Armament Haki and Observation Haki can be awakened through training to tap into this power and can be continually developed and strengthened.

For example, the Observation Haki that Yu has now awakened can make his five senses extremely sharp. It allows him to sense the aura and emotional changes of surrounding creatures and can be used to foresee and evade danger.

As long as a living being is present, the body emits distinctive sounds. Observation Haki can use these sounds to predict the opponent's next movements and positions. Through training, its range can also be expanded.

"Get out of my way!"

Seeing that so many people working together couldn't subdue Yu for quite some time, the hot-tempered Scorch Release Ninja Pafuka finally grew impatient, rapidly forming hand seals.

"Scorch Release: Grand Burning Sea!"

Taking a deep breath, after all the Sand Ninjas in front of him dispersed, Scorch Release Ninja Pafuka directly opened his mouth and spewed out a large expanse of amber-colored flames.

Like a fan, it swiftly engulfed the ground toward Yu, turning everything in its path into ashes.
