Chapter 14 Challenge

Konoha

Nara House

"Uncle Kankuro!! Uncle Gaara, did you bring souvenirs?"

In the dining room, two extra chairs were set by the dining table as two figures, one with red hair and one with black hair and purple paint on his face, sat on them.

On the remaining four chairs were the members of the Nara family: Temari, Shikamaru, Shikadai, and our protagonist, Satoshi.

Gaara, quietly and with manners, dig in the food prepared by Temari before Shikadai asked him, with an expectant look on his face.

"Haha!! Your Uncle Gaara has a lot of work to do, so he forgot it, but worry not... I still remember it"

Hearing Shikadai mentions the souvenirs, Gaara's hand holding the stick was stiff for a moment as he really forgot about it as he was here to inform Temari about his decision.

But Kankuro made the timely safe and took out the Shinobi Bout Cards Deck, which he specially requested from the Land of Water.

"Here is one for you, Shikadai, and the other for you, Satoshi"

Kankuro put the two decks before them as Shikadai took them immediately and Satoshi, with a reluctant expression on his face, also put them away.

"Oh, you don't seem happy, Satoshi!"

Kankuro easily spotted the reluctant expression on the face of Satoshi and asked curiously if the last time he met him, Satoshi personally requested them.

Even Gaara looked at Satoshi curiously as this nephew of his seemed different from the last time he met him.

"I would have preferred a real sword, Uncle Kankuro"

Said Satoshi, as it had been 3 months since he transmigrated and he was fed up already with using a wooden sword.

He wanted to feel a real sword in his hand, feel its sharpness, and hear the sharp air-cutting sound.

Satoshi did get the template of Law, but it's not like he didn't have a dream himself. If he just follows the system, won't he be a system slave completely with no ability himself?

In the world of One Piece, what impressed Satoshi the most was its swordsmanship.

He had the dream of being able to cut a city-sized island in half and divide the huge mountains just by relying on swordsmanship one day, like Mihawk.

Law was a swordsman also, but compared to real swordsmen like Zoro or Mihawk, he was far behind. Law did cut a mountain in half once, but that was relying on the power of Ope Ope no Mi, not swordsmanship.

"Sword? Do you know how to use it?"

Hearing his request, Kankuro was surprised, and so was Gaara, as the latter asked curiously.

"Of course, I can easily wield the sword now."

Satoshi knew this was the moment to impress Gaara so he gives him the sword.

Three months had passed now. Though the time wasn't much, he didn't mind revealing a bit of his strength now.

Temari has seen him work hard over the last three months, so she has no reason to doubt him now.

"Oh, you're sure of yourself; did you teach him, sister?"

Hearing his confident words, Gaara was surprised as he looked towards Temari, hoping for an explanation.

"Don't take this brat seriously. He has been training for the last three months, but that was just a wooden sword. This kid doesn't even know what real swordsmanship is"

Temari waved her hands casually as she took the words from Satoshi for fun. How can someone become proficient in swordsmanship in just three months, much less a 4-year-old kid?

"Yeah, she's right, kids these days are sure a pain"

Shikamaru, sitting beside Temari, also spoke, advising Gaara and Kankuro not to take his words seriously.

"But I want to give him a chance to prove himself. It won't cost anything, right?"

Gaara said as he had seen the infinite confidence in the eyes of Satoshi and wanted to give him a chance to prove himself and stay true to his words.

"But..."

Hearing his suggestion, some hesitation appeared on the faces of Temari and Shikamaru, as they didn't want Satoshi to get injured while trying to impress them.

"Yes, Sister, give him a chance."

Kankuro, seeing the hesitation on Temari's face, urged her to come with him as he wanted to see what his nephew had in store.

"Sigh, but I'll be the one fighting him; Satoshi, if you can make me use my Kamatari, I'll let you keep a real sword"

"And if you fail, you won't talk about this topic until you turn 12"

Temari finally agreed, but on a condition that made everyone in the room except Satoshi look at her with strange eyes.

She was an Elite Jonin. Even without her Kamatari, a kid like Satoshi wouldn't last a second against her. Clearly, she doesn't want Satoshi to keep a real sword.

"Satoshi, do you agree? don't expect me to go easy on you. I won't stop until you admit defeat, even if you are hurt"

"Do you agree or disagree?"

"Mom, she's so scary!"

Temari ignored the strange eyes of everyone as she spoke, looking at Satoshi with frightening eyes, like a terrifying killer, completely scaring Shikadai, who sat beside Satoshi.
