Naruto: Starting with Hawkeye Mihawk template

Konoha Village, in its 56th year, witnessed a young figure relentlessly practicing with a wooden sword under the scorching sun. Sticky sweat trickled into Liu Yun's eyes as he swung with determined focus, as though locked in combat with an unseen adversary.

"Ha-."

Liu Yun's breath was heavy, his spirit on the verge of exhaustion. He paid no heed to the dirt beneath him, collapsing with arms sore and numb from the day's arduous training.

Every day, Liu Yun engaged in spiritual battles with Hawkeye, learning the master swordsman's techniques.

"If I can match Mihawk's strength, I could challenge even the most formidable opponents, perhaps even the super shadows," Liu Yun murmured to himself.

Liu Yun, a time traveler, found himself in the world of Naruto, lacking a notable lineage or familial history, his parents lost in the Third Ninja World War. Surviving on village support, he immersed himself in Naruto's universe, aware of the legendary shadows who once dominated, overshadowed only by Uchiha Madara's singular might.

Having gained the character template system upon arrival, Liu Yun unlocked the persona of Joracol Mihawk, a renowned swordsman from One Piece. Familiar with Mihawk's prowess from the anime, Liu Yun appreciated the devastating power of his slashes, rivaling S-level ninjutsu without chakra.

After a brief rest, Liu Yun focused on refining his chakra, a skill imparted by Umino Iruka, a trusted mentor due to his close ties with Liu Yun's deceased parents. Few at his age possessed Liu Yun's chakra manipulation skills, essential for mastering ninjutsu in Naruto's world.

Chakra, a unique energy in Naruto's universe, was crucial for casting ninjutsu. Liu Yun concentrated, forming a light blue Rasengan—a testament to his dedication despite lacking the innate advantages of others like Naruto or Sasuke.

However, Liu Yun was acutely aware of his limitations. Unlike Naruto with Uzumaki heritage or Sasuke's Uchiha lineage, Liu Yun relied solely on the character template system and his own perseverance.

Regaining his resolve, Liu Yun gripped his sword, ready to resume training in the vast spiritual world where a youthful Hawkeye awaited. Each encounter refined Liu Yun's swordsmanship, though Hawkeye always exploited the slightest flaw to claim victory.

Outside, Liu Yun stood amidst the forest, sword in hand, sweat dripping down his face. In the shadows, Uchiha Shisui observed with curiosity, recognizing the potential in the determined young boy.

Suddenly, Liu Yun's aura surged, catching Shisui's attention. Intrigued by this display of strength, Shisui sensed something extraordinary—a spark of fresh potential amidst Konoha's next generation.

As Liu Yun caught his breath, Shisui's smile betrayed his thoughts on the village's future. Witnessing such determination and power in a young outsider stirred Shisui's curiosity and admiration.

Resting briefly, Liu Yun pondered his solitary path. His withdrawn nature precluded friendships with other children, focusing instead on becoming strong enough to navigate the dangers of this world.

Facing formidable foes like Uchiha Obito, Uchiha Madara, and the Otsutsuki clan loomed large in Liu Yun's future. Contemplating the village's uncertain fate amid the stirring winds, Liu Yun understood the challenges ahead.

Thus, Liu Yun's journey in Naruto's world continued—a testament to resilience, unwavering determination, and the pursuit of strength amidst shadows of legendary shinobi.
