"Shut up, you idiot, Yamato!"
When Naruto heard Yamato's words, he immediately dispelled his Demon Armor and transformed back into a scabbard. He then put his sword away before scolding Yamato, "Are you an idiot? I told you that even a scratch would be fatal, and there's no antidote. Yet you still want to try? Do you have a death wish?!"
"I'm sorry!" Yamato immediately lowered her head and apologized with sincere remorse.
"It's okay, I forgive you!"
Naruto instantly accepted Yamato's apology, then retrieved Longsword · Infinity from his system space and continued introducing its various cool abilities to everyone, once again earning a wave of envious gazes.
"Naruto kid!"
Nine-Tailed's voice suddenly appeared in Naruto's ears, asking, "Where exactly did you get a sword like that?"
Of course, Nine-Tailed knew about Naruto's new weapon and was even the one who named it "Infinity." However, it had never seen Naruto use that sword, so it thought Naruto was bragging about its functions. It never expected them to be true!
Ever since it had fist-bumped Naruto, Naruto had never blocked its perception of the outside world, so it knew everything Naruto had experienced.
But it didn't know when Naruto had acquired such a new weapon, so Nine-Tailed was very curious now.
When and where did Naruto get that sword?
As for Naruto saying he picked it up, Nine-Tailed certainly wouldn't believe that, because even if Naruto really "picked" it up, it would be impossible for it not to know.
"Uh, I picked it up, didn't I already say that!"
Naruto lied with no confidence whatsoever, then very stiffly changed the subject, saying, "How about it? Don't you think my new weapon is really cool?"
When Nine-Tailed heard Naruto say that, it knew there was no point in asking further. It then reminded him, "Brat, don't forget about learning Haki."
Although Nine-Tailed was curious about how Naruto got his new weapon, once it realized Naruto didn't want to talk about it, it didn't press the issue. Anyway, there were already too many mysterious things about this kid; nothing that happened to him would surprise it or be unacceptable.
"Ah—I know!"
When Naruto heard Nine-Tailed's reminder, he immediately remembered the important matter but still stubbornly said, "I didn't forget, really!"
"Hmph!~"
Nine-Tailed merely curled its lip at Naruto's stubborn excuse, then said nothing more.
This kid, as proven by facts, no matter how mysterious he was, was still just a little brat under seven years old, radiating immaturity from head to toe.
On Naruto's side, seeing that Nine-Tailed wasn't pressing about the origin of his new weapon, he thought his "clever" topic shift had succeeded and his perfect lie had fooled the other party. He couldn't help but let out a deep sigh of relief, then silently gave himself a thumbs-up for his quick wit.
However, prompted by Nine-Tailed, Naruto also remembered the most important purpose of his transmigration. He ended his display of the new weapon, put away Longsword·Infinity, and then asked Yamato and the others, "Um, is Uncle Kaido around? I have something I want to ask him."
"Ask?"
When Yamato heard Naruto's words, she stared at him for a moment in surprise, then said, "That guy hasn't been out recently, so he should be around... What do you want him for?"
Every time Yamato and Naruto went to find Kaido before, it was under the guise of a challenge. Now, suddenly hearing Naruto use the word "ask," she felt a bit unaccustomed.
"I want to ask him about cultivating Observation Haki." Naruto didn't hide his reason for seeking Kaido, though he didn't mention the deeper reason, and Yamato probably wouldn't understand it anyway.
"Oh, that!"
When Yamato heard Naruto's words, she excitedly said, "I know Observation Haki! If you want to learn, you don't need to find that guy Kaido; I can teach you!"
During the time Naruto was away, Yamato had learned many techniques from Kaido, including Observation Haki and Kaido's signature move, Thunder Bagua.
"You learned it too?"
Naruto looked at her in surprise when he heard Yamato's words, exclaiming, "That's amazing! But I learned it earlier than you. I just don't know how to continue cultivating it."
"Huh, you already learned it too?"
When Yamato heard Naruto's words, she immediately looked disappointed, then said, "Then I'll go with you."
Although Yamato had also learned Observation Haki, if you asked her how to cultivate it, her answer would be the same as Naruto's: she didn't know.
"Mm!~"
Naruto nodded, then the two of them separated from Jack and the others and went to find Kaido together.
"Kaido, we've come to challenge—"
After the two found Kaido, Yamato subconsciously started to shout her challenge slogan, but Naruto pulled her back and spoke himself, "Uncle Kaido, I've come to ask you about cultivating Observation Haki."
"Hmm? Ask?"
Kaido was not surprised by Naruto's return, but he was somewhat surprised by his attitude of coming to "ask" him. He then showed a disdainful expression and said, "Hmph, why should I agree to such a troublesome thing?"
The teaching schedule of the renowned teacher Kaido depended solely on his mood, and unfortunately, he wasn't in the mood to teach right now.
"Hey, Kaido, don't be too much! We came to respectfully ask you!"
When Yamato heard Kaido's words, she angrily took the spiked club from her back and said fiercely, "Since you're unwilling to accept our request, then let's duel, you bastard!"
"I'm not in the mood to play with you guys right now."
Facing Yamato's provocation, Kaido merely glanced at her, then turned around and waved his hand, saying, "Get out, or I'll kill you!"
"Then come on! Who's afraid of you—"
Yamato was about to continue provoking, but Naruto pulled her away, dragging her while persuading, "Don't be like this. Uncle Kaido is in a bad mood right now. We can just come back next time."
"Hmph, who wants to come find him again!~"
Yamato let Naruto pull her away but still said defiantly, "If he won't teach us, then so be it. We can learn just as well from King!"
"Mm."
Naruto nodded. Although he felt King might not agree to teach them either, he still tried going with Yamato to seek his instruction. As expected, King also directly refused their request.
Kaido not only refused their requests for instruction but also wouldn't even accept their challenges anymore.
"Damn it!"
Yamato looked angry and said irritably, "Those guys must be doing it on purpose; they're just afraid of us surpassing them!"
