Scarlet

"Weapon, weapon, reveal yourself! Oh, heavens, I absolutely never want to say something like that again. It's just too childish—and way too embarrassing!" Clearly, Uzumaki Chenhao had no choice but to force those words out.

Just after Uzumaki Chenhao finished speaking, the card in his hand suddenly floated before him and slowly transformed into a short blade.

"What? It looks like an ordinary short blade. Did it disappoint me again?" Upon seeing the card turn into a short blade, Uzumaki Chenhao was deeply disappointed. He had never expected it to become such a completely ordinary weapon—or at least, that was what he thought for now.

Yet just as Uzumaki Chenhao was feeling disappointed, the short blade slowly changed from black to white, then finally to red. The entire process took only two seconds.

At that moment, a tiny card appeared beside the blade, bearing three large words: Instruction manual.

"Oh? My blade can actually change color. It ended up red—no, to be precise, it should be scarlet. And it even came with an instruction manual? Damn, this kind of setup totally fits the original world!" Seeing the changes in the blade, Uzumaki Chenhao frowned slightly and muttered.

Then Uzumaki Chenhao reached out and picked up the short blade and the instruction manual.

"Not bad, not bad. This short blade may look ordinary, but from the moment I touched it, I could sense tremendous power within it—an unfathomable kind of power. Most importantly, it really does look incredibly cool!" The instant Uzumaki Chenhao touched the blade, he sensed that something was unusual and spoke softly with a smile.

Then Uzumaki Chenhao placed the short blade on the ground beside him and carefully read the instruction manual.

"I never expected this blade to have such an origin. A weapon like this is truly rare in the Naruto World! Still, this is only an ordinary Orange-grade weapon. There are plenty of big shots ahead. I really wonder what those weapons will be like!" After carefully reading the instruction manual, Uzumaki Chenhao said with a smile.

At that moment, Uzumaki Chenhao put the instruction manual into his pocket, picked up the short blade, and slowly stood.

Uzumaki Chenhao looked at the bright scarlet short blade in his hand and said with a smile, "Since your color is so scarlet, I'll call you Scarlet from now on!"

"Now that I've given you a name, let me test your power and see just what kind of unfathomable might you possess."

As he spoke, Uzumaki Chenhao held the short blade and slowly walked to the riverbank.

At that moment, Uzumaki Chenhao injected a little Chakra into the short blade, then slashed straight ahead.

"Zzzzt."

The instant Uzumaki Chenhao swung his blade, a scarlet blade of energy shot forward with a zzzzt sound.

When that blade of energy struck a tree, it split the tree in two. It only slowly disappeared after cutting through three trees.

"Damn, its power is truly immense. If I ever run into a large-scale war in the future, I can just stand far away and keep slashing forward with all my strength."

"But right now, I know far too little about this short blade. There are still many things about it that I don't understand. I'll have to study it slowly in the future!" At that moment, Uzumaki Chenhao looked at the scarlet short blade in his hand with an envious gaze and murmured quietly.
