Sword of the Thunder God

The next day arrived.

It was summer vacation, so there was no need to attend school.

After finishing breakfast, Natsuki and Yakushi Nonō headed out together, walking toward Konoha Hospital.

"Did you learn any Medical Ninjutsu yesterday?"

Natsuki asked casually.

"I learned the E-rank Hemostasis Technique. It went very smoothly; I mastered it on the first try, and Chiwa and the others praised me for it."

Yakushi Nonō replied in a soft voice.

She possessed a natural talent for being a medical ninja, and combined with the fact that she had been practicing Tree Climbing and Water Surface Walking for some time, she had mastered the E-rank Hemostasis Technique in seconds.

"That is truly an enviable talent."

Natsuki teased, "When you become a Jonin in the future, you'll have to take care of me."

"Mm."

Yakushi Nonō nodded without the slightest hesitation.

Natsuki was slightly taken aback, then began to laugh.

He reached out and pinched her cheek.

In the original story, Yakushi Nonō met a miserable end.

He hoped that under his influence, he could change her tragic fate.

The two soon arrived at Konoha Hospital.

"I'm going to go find Chiwa now."

Yakushi Nonō said, sounding somewhat reluctant.

She had always studied and trained alongside Natsuki, so she found it strange to be separated from him now.

"I'll come to pick you up later."

Natsuki nodded and said.

"Mm."

Yakushi Nonō flashed him a smile before turning to leave.

Natsuki, meanwhile, headed toward Tsunade's Director's Office.

He raised his hand and knocked on the door.

"Come in."

Tsunade's voice drifted out from within.

"Lady Tsunade."

Natsuki walked inside and greeted her proactively.

"Natsuki, your suggestions have already been approved by my teacher."

Upon seeing him, a smile appeared on Tsunade's beautiful face.

"I didn't do much; I only offered two suggestions."

Natsuki shook his head and said.

"You don't need to be so humble, little one. Both the teacher and I are well aware of how much credit you deserve."

Tsunade paused for a moment before asking, "What reward do you want?"

Here it comes!

Natsuki felt a jolt of excitement and said, "I want the Sword of the Thunder God."

"The Sword of the Thunder God?"

Tsunade was immediately taken by surprise and asked instinctively, "Why?"

"The Second Hokage is my idol."

Natsuki said with a serious expression, "I hope that one day I can be like him and create all sorts of useful ninjutsu."

Clearly, his goal was to establish a persona.

This way, if he exposed his system's abilities in the future, he could claim they were self-created ninjutsu.

Of course, the most important thing was that he could only unlock the abilities of the Zoro Template after obtaining the Sword of the Thunder God.

As for whether Tsunade or Konoha would grant it, he was seventy percent sure.

This was because the Sword of the Thunder God was not actually that important.

Although it was the sword carried by Senju Tobirama, it was rarely used.

Senju Tobirama was most proficient in Water Release and forbidden techniques, not Sword Technique.

Furthermore, the plot related to the Sword of the Thunder God could also prove this.

In the original story, a Chunin of Konoha named Aoi Rokushō instigated his student, Morino Idate, to steal the Sword of the Thunder God.

The fact that a Genin could steal the Sword of the Thunder God shows that Konoha didn't care about this sword at all.

"Creating your own ninjutsu? You certainly have ambition."

Tsunade was silent for a moment before offering her praise.

But she knew very well that creating one's own ninjutsu was an extremely difficult task.

Since the founding of Konoha, there had only been one Senju Tobirama.

To create a new ninjutsu, one must not only master ninjutsu but also possess terrifying fundamentals and creative thinking.

In her view, in the entire Konoha of today, only Hiruzen Sarutobi and Orochimaru could achieve this, yet even they were far from reaching the level of Senju Tobirama.

"Given your contributions, I can grant you the Sword of the Thunder God."

Tsunade thought for a moment and continued, "But the prerequisite is that your sword technique must earn my approval."

The Sword of the Thunder God was, after all, the personal blade of Senju Tobirama.

Since Senju Tobirama was her granduncle, she did not want the Sword of the Thunder God to be buried in obscurity by Natsuki.

"I have some confidence in my sword technique."

Natsuki understood what she meant and spoke directly.

He currently possessed the swordsmanship strength of Zoro.

"Very well."

Tsunade smiled slightly, stood up, and said, "Follow me."

The two arrived at a Training Ground near Konoha Hospital.

"Use your sword technique to attack me with everything you have."

Tsunade took out a Kunai and said.

"Yes, Lady Tsunade."

Natsuki gripped the ninja sword he had purchased.

He leaned his body slightly forward and rushed toward Tsunade at his maximum speed.

A flash of silver blade light cut in from a blind spot, striking toward Tsunade's thigh.

There was no helping it; Natsuki was only six years old, and his height was lacking.

Tsunade felt a bit surprised, but her expression remained unchanged.

With a flick of her wrist, she easily blocked the ninja sword with her Kunai.

Clang!

Natsuki immediately changed his move.

He stepped back half a pace, gripped the ninja sword with both hands, and slashed forcefully toward Tsunade's waist.

The strength was great, and the speed of the ninja sword was fast.

However, to Tsunade, it still posed no threat whatsoever.

She jumped up, stepped on Natsuki's ninja sword, and vaulted into mid-air.

Tsunade rotated her body, thrusting the Kunai downward.

Natsuki suddenly felt a massive shadow loom over him.

He hurriedly raised his ninja sword to block.

The terrifying force sent him stumbling backward.

He immediately withdrew his blade to dissipate the force, and while Tsunade had just landed, he swung his ninja sword again, slashing toward her knees like lightning.

Tsunade couldn't help but nod.

She moved her right hand downward, preempting him, and thrust the Kunai toward Natsuki's wrist.

Natsuki hurriedly changed direction and blocked her Kunai.

The sound of clashing metal rang out incessantly.

Although Natsuki's offensive was fierce, it had absolutely no effect on Tsunade.

In less than ten minutes, he was panting, his entire body exhausted.

"Alright, that's enough."

Tsunade put away her Kunai.

She had been fighting for so long, yet she remained full of energy, completely unaffected.

Tsunade looked at Natsuki, lost in thought for a moment.

The high level of Natsuki's sword technique was completely beyond her expectations.

Especially considering he was only six years old.

"You have a high level of talent in Sword Technique. If you had the right teacher, you might even become the second White Fang of Konoha."

Tsunade evaluated him.

"Thank you for the praise, Lady Tsunade."

Natsuki wiped the sweat from his forehead and said.

It seemed he had passed the test.

"The Sword of the Thunder God is at the Hokage Building; I will take you to retrieve it."

Tsunade had already acknowledged his swordsmanship, so she spoke quite decisively.

Natsuki couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.

The two of them soon arrived at the Hokage Building.

[Congratulations to the host for unlocking the fourth ability of the Zoro Template: One Sword Style: Iai: Lion Song.]

As Natsuki took hold of the Sword of the Thunder God, a line of text appeared before his eyes.

Because Tsunade was still present, he only glanced at it before turning his attention to the Sword of the Thunder God.

The Sword of the Thunder God was not a conventional blade; it was a weapon similar to a lightsaber.

It consisted only of a hilt, and it would only form a blade once Chakra was channeled into it.

The blade was composed of high-intensity Lightning Release Chakra.

This Sword of the Thunder God was best suited for a Ninja who used Lightning Release.

However, even a Ninja who did not use Lightning Release could still use it as an exceptionally sharp Ninja sword.
