Two Million Explosive Tags

Qingcheng was in a great mood after acquiring the basic Sage Body, which was why he let the rogue ninja from Kirigakure go. A child with S+ talent, even if they just lay around doing nothing, would reach Kage-level strength by adulthood.

Hokage was always a world of bloodlines. Children of the Uchiha Clan, as long as they awakened the Three-Tomoe Sharingan, were usually Elite Jonin. A regular Jonin was already the peak for common ninja.

Qingcheng also received intelligence about Terumi Mei and thought to himself, If I can get close to that talkative woman, I'll definitely gain Lava Release and Boil Release. That's two more Kekkei Genkai right away. That would be incredibly satisfying.

Qingcheng then said excitedly, "It even saves me the trouble of training Chakra! This is just too good. For the Uchiha Clan's strength, I, Qingcheng, will go for it!"

When Qingcheng walked into the largest ninja tool shop in the black market, ready to buy Explosive Tags, he realized that ever since he learned the Mutual Exploding Tag technique, this money-burning Ninjutsu would put him on the path of a high roller. Without hoarding hundreds of billions of them, he wouldn't be able to unleash the full power of this S-rank Ninjutsu.

The weapons shop owner looked at Qingcheng, who wanted to buy a large quantity of Explosive Tags, and seriously said, "Our Explosive Tags are very expensive. You're asking for fifty million at once, and we don't have that many on hand."

The weapons shop owner knew this was a big deal and said with a smile, "Customer, if you can wait, we can gather them from other places. We might even be able to get that many Explosive Tags."

This ninja tool shop only had twenty million Explosive Tags, so Qingcheng immediately pulled out two billion Ryo and bought them all.

The ninja tool shop owner said seriously, "Last time, there was a woman in a black robe who came here to buy Explosive Tags. She bought three hundred million at once, which cleared out our entire market. The production chain for Explosive Tags just couldn't keep up."

Hearing this, Qingcheng thought to himself, That woman must be Konan. Has Kakuzu joined the Akatsuki yet? That guy is rich. I have to snatch those seven hundred billion Explosive Tags from him.

As Qingcheng put away the twenty million Explosive Tags, he asked, "Boss, do you have any divine weapons here? Like the Kusanagi Sword?"

The ninja tool shop owner said seriously, "We don't. Kusanagi Swords are all forged by the Kusanagi Clan. It's said there are only eight in total. It's a shame the Kusanagi Clan was wiped out because they could forge such divine weapons."

Qingcheng twitched his lips and said seriously, "That's truly a pity. Such a family of divine weapons was coveted by others and directly exterminated."

"Each Kusanagi Sword has different effects. For example, Sasuke's Kusanagi Sword can extend, perfectly fuse with lightning-natured Chakra, and release Ninjutsu through its blade without being absorbed by the Otsutsuki Clan's Dojutsu. It has so many advantages."

Qingcheng looked at the storage scroll, which only had just over seven hundred million Ryo left, and decided not to buy any more Explosive Tags. Twenty million Explosive Tags were enough to flatten Konoha.

This trip also yielded the Lightning God Armor, a basic version of the Sage Body, and the Strength of a Hundred Seal. Qingcheng felt quite satisfied and planned to return to Konoha to continue dealing with Danzo and eliminate him directly.

The Strength of a Hundred Seal is a secret technique of the Uzumaki Clan. Not only can it store Chakra, but it also keeps one's appearance unchanged, maintaining a youthful look until the very last moment of life. Only when life force declines does one appear aged.

Qingcheng put away the twenty million Explosive Tags, directly tossing them into his Yomi Space, where they piled up with the previous fifty thousand Explosive Tags.

The Mutual Exploding Tag is a special type of summoning technique. By storing a large quantity of Explosive Tags in a certain location, one can continuously summon them for targeted explosions.

Qingcheng's Mutual Exploding Tag technique would be even more abnormal. He could force Explosive Tags into someone's mouth, activate Yomotsu Hirasaka, tear open their space, and then perform a targeted explosion. Even hiding within a Truth-Seeking Orb wouldn't stop it.

The ninja tool shop owner suddenly remembered something and said seriously, "Customer, I think I heard someone say there's an old man in the market selling a sharp sword, but he doesn't want money. He requires a powerful Wind Release Ninjutsu in exchange."

Hearing this, Qingcheng said seriously, "No money, just a powerful Wind Release Ninjutsu in exchange? That's easy then."

Immediately, Qingcheng asked, "Where is that old man? Give me the location."

The ninja tool shop owner thought for a moment and said seriously, "Just at the entrance of the South Market. Customer, you can go take a look."

Hearing this, Qingcheng turned and walked directly towards the South Market entrance, intending to see the divine weapon in the old man's hand.

The ninja tool shop owner watched Qingcheng leave and said with a smile, "Please come again, customer. Welcome back next time."

In the South Market of the black market, an old man in his fifties held a red katana. In front of him, a wooden board was displayed, offering to exchange the divine weapon for a powerful Wind Release Ninjutsu.

Qingcheng followed the crowd's guidance and walked directly to the South Market entrance. Soon, at a stall, he saw the old man selling the sword, noting his weathered appearance.

Qingcheng thought to himself, This guy must be from the Kusanagi Clan. He probably wants a powerful Ninjutsu to help avenge his clan.

Qingcheng walked directly up to the old man and said seriously, "I have a powerful Wind Release Ninjutsu. What kind of sword is this?"

The old man's face immediately lit up when he heard Qingcheng. He said earnestly, "This sword is a Kusanagi Sword. We can only exchange once you show me the Ninjutsu."

Qingcheng directly retrieved a B-rank Ninjutsu, Wind Release: Vacuum Great Sphere, from his storage scroll and said seriously, "This is an advanced Wind Release Ninjutsu, Wind Release: Vacuum Great Sphere. It can help you get justice."

This Ninjutsu was something Qingcheng had "sheared" from the Shimura Clan. Now, exchanging it for a Kusanagi Sword was well worth it.

The old man's eyes immediately lit up when he saw the Ninjutsu Qingcheng handed him. He said seriously, "Alright, let's make the exchange!"

After speaking, the old man directly handed the Kusanagi Sword he held to Qingcheng, then reached out and took the Ninjutsu scroll for Wind Release: Vacuum Great Sphere.

Qingcheng picked up the bright red Kusanagi Sword and asked seriously, "What special abilities does this sword have?"

The old man said seriously, "This is a Kusanagi Sword that enhances fire-natured Chakra. With fire-natured Chakra, it can generate flame attacks against opponents and can also automatically extend to attack them."

The old man then sighed, "It's a shame our clan doesn't have fire-natured Chakra. Otherwise, we wouldn't be trading it away."

Hearing this, Qingcheng was overjoyed and said seriously, "Do you have any more Kusanagi Swords? If you can provide appropriate compensation, I can help you get your revenge."

The old man shook his head directly when he heard Qingcheng's words, saying helplessly, "They were all taken by those people long ago."

Qingcheng said seriously, "If you get any more information about Kusanagi Swords, you can sell them to me. I have plenty of Wind Release Ninjutsu."

Qingcheng indeed had plenty of Wind Release Ninjutsu, all "sheared" from the Shimura Clan. Exchanging a copied Ninjutsu scroll for a Kusanagi Sword was an absolute bargain!
