Naruto, the strongest Uchiha from signing in.

Chapter 387 Kuina: I'll be waiting for you at the top, Zoro.

"Reality? I remember... I fell down the stairs, the grindstone, the ladder... and fell asleep somewhere warm, and I... died?"

After being stunned for a long time, the dead memories were gradually revived and constantly attacked Kuina's mind. It was not until a long time passed that she accepted this incredible reality.

"How is this possible? I should have been dead, why am I still alive?!"

Obviously, this situation was beyond common sense and logic, enough to rack her brain for a long time.

"There is no need to be confused or doubtful. You are truly alive in this world now. To be precise, you have returned to reality from the underworld."

"Who are you?"

"Good question, but it's not important. Do you want to come with me? To realize your unfinished vision during your lifetime..."

The delicate and intricate patterns were spinning wildly, and Kuina's whole body trembled. She had already appeared in the world of black and red. Her eyes were firm as she watched the constantly intertwining blades.

……

Outside the door, the corners of Zoro's mouth twitched impatiently. He waited for a long time but there was no unusual sound, nor did he hear any familiar voices, which undoubtedly increased his distrust.

"Master, don't let them go on like this. Don't you understand that the dead cannot be resurrected..."

Before she could finish her words, she heard a creaking sound and the door in front of her slowly opened. Hua Yue had a smile on her face and a figure in white behind her was kneeling on the ground, with a smart look in her straight back and determined eyes.

"Resurrection!!!"

At this moment, Roronoa Zoro's mouth could fit an apple. Koshiro, who was standing aside with a try-it attitude, was shocked beyond words.

"Kuina, is it really Kuina?"

"It's me, father. I'm back from the underworld."

After a moment's silence, Matsushiro's eyes filled with tears. Both his tone and his eyes showed no signs of disguise or imitation.

There is no doubt that the child in front of him is indeed his only daughter, Kuina.

Clap clap clap!

Clear and loud applause interrupted this touching reunion. Hiyori on the side had a complicated expression and it was unknown what she was thinking for a moment.

"Yes, yes, let's wait a little longer to reminisce about the past. It's better to close the door. This kind of shocking story will be treated as an alien by others..."

"It's okay if it spreads within Shimotsuki Village, but once the Navy or the World Government hears about us and they know we've been here, this village will be in big trouble."

This is not a lie. If the members of the World Government knew that Huayue's ship had stayed in the East China Sea, they would probably dispatch warships to destroy it immediately.

I can’t beat the Four Emperors, so I can’t beat you? Send ten warships over, and the whole village will be yours!

"really."

Koshiro looked around and found many dojo students leaning against the wall to eavesdrop and watch, and even more were Shimotsuki villagers ready to take action at any time.

After everyone sat down, Kuina opened her mouth and left Koshiro and Zoro stunned.

"Father, I want to leave Shimotsuki Village, to see the wider world, to face more powerful opponents, and to become the strongest female swordsman!"

Faced with Kuina's request, Koshiro hesitated for a while and shook his head helplessly.

"Are we being too hasty? This is not a goal that can be achieved in a short time. In the village..."

"In the village, I can no longer make any further progress. The pace of progress is getting slower and slower, and I'm almost reaching my limit."

"That's why I want to leave the village and fight with the strong. This will make me stronger and help me overcome the weaknesses of a female swordsman."

"If I keep delaying like this, I will really be surpassed by Zoro, right?"

Seeing Kuina looking at him, Zoro didn't react for a moment, but then he roared at her loudly.

"What's wrong? What's wrong with being surpassed by me? Are you dissatisfied with being surpassed by me? I inherited the Wado Ichimonji from my master with the determination to make my name resound throughout heaven..."

"But the first thing you said after you came back to life was to leave the village. What is the point of my persistence?"

"Strong enemies, and friends. My goal has never changed. I want to surpass all other swordsmen and become the strongest swordsman in the world. This is what I pursue in my life..."

"I've already died once, how can I give up?"

At this moment, the living room was dead silent, and his vision became blurred at some point. When Zoro came to his senses, he realized that there were tears in his eyes.

"Damn it! I'll give you back your saber. I will never forgive you!"

"I see. I still regard you as my lifelong enemy, Roronoa Zoro..."

Throwing down the Wado Ichimonji, Zoro ran out of the dojo like the wind. Koshiro was silent for a long time and then spoke softly.

"A decision you've made up your mind?"

"Well, if I stay here, my father and the others will be troubled. A being who has come back from the dead will be regarded as a complete alien by others. Even if others don't say it, their attitude will change unconsciously."

Kuina carefully picked up the Kado Ichimonji that Zoro had thrown on the ground and presented it to him with both hands, with a determined look on her face.

"Wado Ichimonji, I'll give this sword to Zoro. Please, father, tell him for me..."

Until then, Koshiro nodded slightly and his eyes fell on Huayue who was lying lazily aside.

"In any case, thank you for resurrecting Kuina from the underworld and giving her another chance to realize her dream. I am grateful."

"No need to be so polite. I have my own considerations. Besides, this may not be a bad thing for the Frost Moon Clan."

Huayue waved her hand slightly and draped a black robe over Kuina. After everyone disappeared, Koshiro sighed deeply, picked up the Wado Ichimonji and walked out of the village.

Outside Shimotsuki Village, the clear stream and the silence far away from human habitation calmed the resentful heart a little.

"You are still the same as before. Whenever you encounter troubles, you come here to swing your sword, trying to make your sweat forget your troubles, Zoro."

Zoro said nothing, but swung the wooden sword faster, until the pure white and simple Wado Ichimonji appeared, which stunned him even more.

"What? Kuina didn't take her sword with her?"

"Ah, she asked me to tell you that one day in the future, you and her must stand at the top of the swordsmanship. Before that, you must not fail. Kuina is waiting for you at the top."

After these words were spoken, Zoro was silent for a moment, and a wild smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Wait for me at the peak. I'm afraid I should be the one waiting for her at the peak. Wait, I must become the world's strongest swordsman before I turn thirty. Be prepared to be defeated by me!"
