Forging the Sword of Endurance

The Land of Tea

Yuho City

Inside the Ninja Tool Workshop, Uchiha Inabi's face was dark and her brows were furrowed, looking as if she had been poisoned.

Inabi held a Kusarigama in her hand, and as Inabi channeled her Chakra, the Kusarigama emitted a burst of blue Chakra light.

The blue light emanating from the Kusarigama lasted for about five breaths. The darkness on Inabi's face faded, as if the light had been transferred to the Kusarigama, causing the blue Chakra light on the Kusarigama to turn a darker blue.

Seimei and Uchiha Yuya looked at Inabi with expectant eyes.

"Phew! The toxins should be gone. I can feel the numbness dissipating and I'm back to normal."

Inabi breathed a sigh of relief and offered his assessment of the Kusarigama in his hand.

Uchiha Yuya stepped forward, extended his right hand, and placed it on Inabi's chest. After about three seconds, Uchiha Yuya withdrew his hand, revealing a ball of blue Chakra in his palm, which contained no poison.

"It seems I succeeded. My Delicate Illness Extraction Technique the toxins from your body couldn't remove them, which can only be because they were absorbed by the Kusarigama. Mr. Seimei, you have truly forged a weapon capable of detoxifying!"

Uchiha Yuya swung his right hand, the Chakra in his palm dissipating, and Seimei praised Seimei to the side.

"Hahahaha, after five failures, I finally succeeded! Now these seven weapons are successfully forged and can be delivered to Naraku!"

Seimei's bright smile somewhat tarnished his composed and handsome image.

During this forging process, Seimei and spiritual heart, sensed that the medical Kusarigama would surely be successful. Now that the Kusarigama has been created, it is indeed just as he felt during the forging process, capable of extracting toxins from the wielder's body, making the wielder immune to all poisons.

At the same time, the toxins can be distributed on the weapon, and the cuts inflicted on the enemy will have a poisoning effect, making it difficult to defend against.

Inabi raised the Kusarigama in his hand, his eyes filled with joy, as if he were embracing a beautiful woman.

"It's truly a divine weapon. I never imagined it could actually be forged. This Kusarigama is forged from a blend of Chakra Metal, gold essence, and refined steel, making it incredibly hard and indestructible."

It also possesses the ability to absorb toxins from the user's body. Combined with the Ibuse mentioned by Lord Naraku, it's entirely possible to cultivate a ninja like Salamander Hanzo, or even surpass him."

Inabi stroked the weapon while commenting on the divine weapon, showing a clear fondness for it.

Seeing the fascination with the Inabi Seimei Festival, I solemnly reminded him:

"Inabi, the divine weapon forging task issued by Lord Naraku has lasted for nearly five years."

Two years ago, Naraku visited Yuho City once, and his words of encouragement still resonate in my ears.

This Kusarigama took two years to forge and can finally be delivered along with the previous six weapons. Now we should send someone to inform Lord Naraku, or perhaps we should discuss this further.

"Should we escort these seven divine weapons there, or Naraku inspect them?"

"I don't think we need to go to such lengths. These seven weapons will surely meet Naraku's requirements! I think I should escort them myself!"

Inabi answered softly. Inabi is now highly skilled in ninja tools. He assists Seimei Tenten and has mastered the techniques of inscribing Chakra into Ninjutsu tools and condensing Inabi.

Therefore, Inabi believed that the clan leader Naraku would most likely also approve of the divine weapons that he recognized and admired.

"Having lived in Yuho City for many years, I'm starting to miss my hometown. It's a good time to go back and visit."

Inabi put down the Kusarigama in his hand, a rare look of nostalgia on his face, and added softly.

Upon hearing this, Seimei showed great interest in Konoha, Inabi's hometown, and said softly:

"I've been wanting to visit Konoha anyway. I'll go along while I'm delivering this mission and see what Konoha is like."

Inabi, hearing that he wanted to visit Konoha during the Seimei, smiled and said:

"Konoha is a peaceful and tranquil village. You'll come to love Konoha when you go there."

After speaking, Inabi turned to look at the medical Jonin Uchiha Yuya and said softly:

"Yuya, these seven divine weapons will be escorted to Konoha by Lord Seimei and me. For some reason, a feeling of longing has welled up in my heart, and I don't want to stop thinking about them for even a moment. Please speak to the lord of the castle for us!"

Uchiha Yuya in weapon forging, only offered suggestions on medical functions and Ninjutsu for the medical Kusarigama. Upon hearing Inabi's words, Yuya nodded and replied decisively:

"Good."

One week later

Land of Fire

In Konoha, on the top floor of the Hokage Building, Naraku squatted on the ground, examining a large scroll spread out on the floor and the seven weapons on it.

The weapons are designed in the shapes of four Ninja Swords, two longswords, and one Kusarigama. They are decorated with ferocious beasts and all gleam with a cold light.

"These seven weapons are the Fire Blade, which has the ability to explode with Fire Style; the Lightning Blade, which has the ability to control lightning; the Wind Blade, which has the ability to control hurricanes; and the Ice Sword. These four attributes are all damage attributes among the Chakra attributes."

The remaining three are: the Devouring Blade, which can absorb Chakra to replenish itself; the Sealing Sword, which can seal enemies to the end of its hilt; and the Poison Kusarigama, which can be immune to poison and extract toxins from the wielder's body, attaching them to the blade.

Uchiha Inabi and Seimei squatted opposite Naraku, explaining the effects of the seven weapons to Naraku. The more Seimei talked, the more smug he became. It was clear that he was very proud of himself forging these seven weapons.

"Clan Chief, this is an absolute divine weapon! The Seven Ninja Swordsmen of Konoha will absolutely crush the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of Kirigakure. This is a divine weapon that took the progenitor of the Craftsman Ninja, Lord Seimei, five years to forge!"

After boasting about the seven weapons, Uchiha Inabi didn't forget to praise Seimei's abilities, which shows that the two had a good relationship, making Inabi unable to resist taking credit for Seimei.

"The Wind Blade? The Fire Blade? Your naming conventions are quite unique..."

Naraku commented on the weapon names, then continued:

"Is this scroll the Summoning Scroll for these seven weapons? Can this scroll summon Summoning Scroll back no matter who has them?"

Naraku, absorbed in his weapons and Summoning Scroll, asked the two people opposite him in a low voice.

When asked the question, Inabi answered softly:

"Absolutely. This was made by the sealing Jonin Uzumaki. In terms of Fuinjutsu and Barrier Ninjutsu, Uzumaki Fei can be considered a master."

"Uzumaki Flying? His Fuinjutsu are decent; it seems this Summoning Scroll is quite reliable. Not bad, not bad..."

Naraku had some impression of Uzumaki Hibiki, vaguely remembering that his Fuinjutsu were among the best in the Uzumaki Clan.

After Naraku finished his soft commentary, he looked up at the two of them and smiled:

"Mr. Seimei, Inabi. These seven weapons allow Konoha to have an organization similar to the Seven Ninja Swordsmen, which makes me very gratified."

"You two have done a great job, what reward do you want? Ninjutsu, power, money, or...?"

Naraku had overheard Inabi boasting about his achievements.

"Well, if possible, I hope that when the war of annexation begins in the future, the Land of Tea will not be included. For many years, the Daimyo of the Land of Tea has always treated Yuho City with great courtesy..."

Inabi's demands were very simple, adhering to the values of the people of that era and respecting the Daimyo. Inabi spent nearly eight years in the Land of Tea, had a deep connection with the Daimyo of the Land of Tea, and received a Daimyo welcome from him.

"Oh, all that's needed then is for the Land of Tea to submit to the Great Power, pay tribute, and faithfully serve it."

Naraku had some interest in the Land of Tea, but it was only some interest. Large nations had to be eliminated, but these remote, small countries, as long as they were submissive, weren't necessarily doomed to be wiped out.

As long as one submits to the emperor and pays tribute, and clearly distinguishes between superiors and inferiors, that is sufficient.

"Mr. Seimei, what about you?"

Naraku turned to look at Seimei and asked softly.

"I want to learn Konoha Style Ninjutsu."

Seimei said calmly.

Forging ninja tools and imprinting them with elemental Ninjutsu requires the forger to have a sufficient amount of Ninjutsu knowledge.
