Chapter 12: Sword intent



"SWISH."

Yoko charged with incredible speed while swinging her katana smoothly and with precession at the humanoid beasts.

"SQUACH, SQUACH, SQUASH, SQUASH, SQUASH."

Yoko sword was incredibly fast, like lightning cutting through the humanoid beasts like a knife through butter.

A short humanoid beast charged at Yoko like a blur, and he thrust his blade at Yuma's heart.

Yoko's instinct cried out for her when the humanoid beast thrust its blade. She leaned her body to the right, and the short humanoid beast stabbed Yoko's left shoulder with its blade.

"PU."

"Damn it, my observation haki isn't strong enough yet to predict this kind of attack, and this humanoid beast is faster than me." Yoko cursed in her mind while gritting her teeth in pain;; she then smiled widely in excitement.

Behind Yoko, 4 humanoid beasts swung their blades at her to cut her into pieces.

Yoko sensed their presence successfully; she grabbed the arm of the short humanoid beast that stabbed her with his blade and threw him towards the humanoid beasts behind her.

"SQUASH, SQUASH, SQUASH, SQUASH, SQUASH."

The humanoid beasts that Yoko threw were cut into pieces. She then jumped in the air above the four humanoid beasts and swung her sword while she was upside down in the air while murmuring in a low voice.

"Falling Cloud beheading sword."

"SHING, SHING, SHING, SHING."

After Yoko swung her sword, the four heads of the humanoid beasts slid down from their necks and hit the ground.

"THUD, THUD, THUD, THUD."

Their blood burst out like a fountain from their necks after she successfully beheaded them.

When Yoko landed gracefully on the ground, she was bathing in the humanoid beast's blood; her heart was beating faster with excitement. She then charged again at the humanoid beasts while smiling widely, but this time with her eyes closed.

Yuma started cutting the humanoid beasts left and right; her Kenjutsu skills started evolving with every second the battle continued, and her observation haki was also improving as the battle continued.

Suddenly, the air around Chi Hime started whistling without Yoko noticing it, and after a few seconds, the air around Yoko started whistling as well.

"What is going on? Why do I feel a sharp intent coming from Chi Hime? Do swords have their own intent?" Yoko was confused, and she asked herself while she continued cutting the humanoid beasts.

Yoko then smiled elegantly as she continued massacring the humanoid beasts.

After a few moments, she chuckled, and she said to herself, "I understand; everything now, everything in this world, has its own intent; the lightning has its own intent, the fire has its own intent, and the sun has its own intent."

"The intent of the sword is very sharp; it can cut everything in its path; it is unyielding and proud."

"I should now test this intent and see if I can materialize this intent. I have a feeling that I could use it as a weapon."

Yoko took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and she started sychronizing herself with the sword intent that she was feeling from Chi Hime.

Yoko unconciously released her very own sword intent and synchronized it with Chi Hime sword intent, then raised the Chi Hime above her head and swung it in the air with all her strength.

"SHING."

"SQUASH, SQUASH, SQUASH, SQUASH, SQUASH."

A silver sword qi shot out from Chi Hime like a beam, and the sword qi cut down all the humanoid beasts in front of her.

Yoko smiled widely after she saw the result of her test; she didn't hesitate anymore; she closed her eyes again, took a deep breath, and she started sychronizing with Chi Hime sword intent again.

When she sensed that she was releasing her own sword intent, Yoko was shocked. "I can release my own sword intent; how is this possible?"

Yoko then sensed that the humanoid beasts were rushing at her from every direction. She then swung her sword at the air again at the humanoid beasts, but this time she swung her Chi Hime horizuntally.

"SHING."

"SQUACH, SQUACH, SQUACH, SQUACH, SQUACH."

A silver beam made of a sword qi shot towards the humanoid beasts again, cutting them in half.

"I don't have time to think about this. For now I will just cut those humanoid beasts, and then after I finish them off, I will try and figure out the reason why I have a different sword intent than Chi Hime." Yoko thought to herself.

After making up her mind, she started sending sword qi beams one after another at the humanoid beasts, cutting them mercilessly.

"SHING, SHING, SHING, SHING, SHING."

"SQUACH, SQUACH, SQUACH, SQUACH, SQUACH."

Thanks to Yoko's Observation Haki she was able to pin point a humanoid beasts location accurately, and she cut all the humanoid beasts with her sword qi beams.

After defeating all the humanoid beasts, Chi Hime started giving a loud sword hum.

Yoko looked at Chi Hime curiosly while raising it to the level of her eyes.

She then closed her eyes, listening to the sword hum.

Yoko could feel connection with Chi Hime and understand what the sword was trying to say to her.

Yoko smiled at Chi Hime and said, "I understand now you are not a curse sword like what my father told me; you are a proud sword. You only let those who are worthy to wield you. Thank you for trusting me, Chi Hime. I promise I will let your name reverberate through the heavens."

Chi Hime then gave another hum, but this time the world around Yoko shifted with incredible speed, and Yoko was forced to close her eyes.

When she opened her eyes again, she found herself inside her tent.

Yoko unsheathed Chi Hime and said to the sword, "I have a feeling that what I experienced before was your own doing, Chi Hime."

Chi Hime then gave a sword hum in response to Yoko's question.

Yoko smiled when she heard the sword hum, then she suddenly heard the system notification in her head.

DING, CONGRATULATION HOST FOR COMPLETING ONE OF THE SHORT TERM QUESTS YOU HAVE CONQUER THE CURSE SWORD CHI HIME YOU HAVE RECIEVED 500 NINJA COINS AND GREAT BLACKSMITH GORO NYUDO MASAMUNE BLACKSMITHING NOTES MANUAL.

Yoko smiled widely after hearing this and sheathed the Chi Hime back to its sheath.

Suddenly, a manual appeared from thin air in front of Yoko. She then grabbed the manual and gave the manual a quick look.

"This manual will come in handy later on, but for now it is useless to me. After the war, I will start learning forging weapons to keep my father and my ancestors legacy alive." Yoko thought to herself.

She then said to the system, "System, I would like to store this manual away for now. I will retrieve it later."

As you wish, host.

Suddenly, the Great Blacksmith Goro Nyudo Masamune Blacksmithing Notes Manual disappeared, and Yoko heard the system saying in his head.

The Great Blacksmith Goro Nyudo Masamune Blacksmithing Notes Manual had been successfully stored away in the system storage space host; whenever you want to retrieve the manual, you just need to use your thoughts to summon it.

Yoko nodded her head in satisfaction. She then closed her eyes and started thinking, "Well, it is time for me to think about how I was able to release my own sword intent when I fought against those humanoid beasts."

After a few moments, Yoko took a deep breath, and the air around her whistled again, but this time it whistled louder than before. She then opened her eyes and smiled widely.

"My sword intent is quite different than Chi Hime's sword intent; my sword intent is quite pure and wants to cut everything in it's path; however, Chi Hime's sword intent is very proud and unyielding." Yoko thought to herself.

"I don't know how I was able to produce my own sword intent, but I think because I experienced Chi Hime sword's intent and I understood it." Yoko said to herself.

She then started training in controlling her own sword intent and testing different ways of using it.

After one hour, she decided she trained enough for the day; she then decided to sleep.
