Takumi Village? A-Rank Ninjutsu Scrolls?
He certainly knew the once-famous Gold and Silver Brothers of Kumogakure.
He even briefly fought against the two brothers during the First Shinobi World War.
He never expected that the people Danzo sent out would actually find the bodies of the Kinkaku and Ginkaku Brothers, as well as the Treasured Tools of the Six Paths they left behind.
"Lord Rikuto..."
Danzo opened the scroll and examined it.
After confirming that everything was correct, it was delivered to Rikuto.
"Found it so quickly?"
Rikuto smiled.
Indeed, subjugating Root was the right choice.
Controlling a powerful and deeply rooted Root, which has grown stronger over decades by drawing nourishment from Konoha, and whose spies are spread throughout the Shinobi World, is ultimately much easier than creating a force from scratch.
Originally, he only mentioned it to Danzo, without having high hopes.
It is uncertain whether Orochimaru has obtained the bodies of the Gold and Silver Brothers and the Treasured Tools of the Six Paths they possessed.
Unexpectedly, Gen gave him a series of pleasant surprises.
Rikuto put away the scroll that sealed the bodies of the Gold and Silver Brothers.
Another scroll was opened, bearing simple illustrations of utensils.
Rikuto placed his right hand directly on it and channeled Chakra into it.
"Bang..."
Four strangely shaped treasures appeared in the scene.
An ordinary knotted rope, a strangely shaped palm-leaf fan, a red gourd, and a very odd double-edged greatsword...
These are the ninja tools left behind by the Sage of Six Paths.
They are respectively the Kohaku no Jōhei, the Bashōsen, the Benihisago, and the Shichiseiken!
"The two brothers originally possessed the five great ninja tools left behind by the Sage of Six Paths..."
Danzo's gaze was somewhat complicated as he said in a deep voice, "There's also an Amber Purifying Pot, which the Third Raikage stole from the Gold and Silver Brothers and used to seal the Eight-Tails!"
Back then, it was because the Gold and Silver Brothers led their respective forces and launched a rebellion during the alliance ceremony between Konoha and Kumogakure.
This resulted in the immediate death of the Second Raikage and serious injuries to the Second Hokage.
Ultimately, in order to protect him, Shimura Danzō, Hiruzen Sarutobi, Utatane Koharu, Mitokado Homura, Kagami Uchiha, and Torifu Akimichi— these six people.
The Second Hokage Chakra to directly use the Flying Thunder God Technique to take away too many people, willingly became bait, sacrificing himself to allow them to escape...
At that time, a test was set.
As a result, Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was the first to offer himself as bait so that the Second Hokage and the others could leave first, became the Third Hokage.
By being a step too late in expressing his Hokage Position.
I still regret my indecisiveness back then.
"This should be Bashōsen, right?"
He picked up the large palm-leaf fan, whose material he couldn't quite identify.
Rikuto vaguely remembered this fan.
It is said to be a weapon that can ignore the nature of one's own Chakra and unleash the five nature transformations of fire, water, lightning, wind, and earth in one go.
"Brush!"
In an instant.
He carried Bashōsen.
They disappeared before Danzo and the others' eyes.
It appeared on the ruins of the Land of Whirlpools.
He gripped the Bashōsen and channeled Chakra into it.
He swung the fan fiercely at the ruins ahead.
"Whoo--"
A raging hurricane swept out, crushing everything in its path.
It ruthlessly tore the towering trees in front of it into pieces like a devastating force.
The land was ravaged and unrecognizable.
"Alas--"
Rikuto fanned himself again.
"Whoosh—" A dazzling burst of Kakkō shot out.
It ruthlessly engulfed the already ravaged land ahead.
A real heatwave was hitting us relentlessly.
It's unbearably hot.
"Brush..."
"Splash..."
A huge column of water shot out.
It engulfed the sea of fire ahead, extinguishing it completely.
"Brush..."
2.5 "Sizzle..."
"Boom... Boom..."
Dazzling lightning flashed intensely.
It blasted the earth apart.
The deafening roar sent rocks flying.
A large cloud of dust was raised.
"The power is indeed quite good, and it doesn't require Hand Seals..."
Seeing this, Rikuto chuckled, "Moreover, it can unleash any of the wind, thunder, water, fire, or earth Chakra natures in its jutsu, and can even use all five elements at once..."
"No wonder even the Second Raikage was killed on the spot due to carelessness, and the Second Hokage was seriously injured!"
"Five Elements - Great Combo!"
The next moment--
Rikuto's eyes sharpened.
With a fierce slap, in an instant.
The five Chakra natures of Ninjutsu, thunder, water, fire, and earth were unleashed simultaneously.
It was incredibly dazzling and possessed astonishing power.
"Rumble..."
Chapter 192 Takumi Village? A-Rank Ninjutsu Scroll? [Third Update]
"Brush..."
In the blink of an eye.
He used the Flying Thunder God Technique to travel to the Land of Whirlpools and tested the power of the Bashōsen, a Treasured Tools of the Six Paths.
Rikuto appeared before Danzo and the others once again, carrying the Bashōsen.
"Lord Rikuto..."
"This thing is indeed quite good, its power is decent..."
Rikuto toyed with the Bashōsen and said with a smile, "However, if you don't have enough Chakra, it's not so easy to control; there's considerable risk involved!"
"Perhaps we can take a look at this. Even if we can't perfectly replicate it, we might be able to create a lower-spec version!"
"And speaking of ninja tools..."
He suddenly thought of something.
He directly ordered Danzo, "Danzo, personally lead a group to Takumi Village and bring back the Ultimate Weapon developed by Seimei, the founder of the Land of Artisans, along with his remains!"
If I remember correctly.
The Ultimate Weapon, crafted by the Seimei of the Land of Artisans, Seimei, is quite powerful.
And the fact that it can even revive itself is truly incredible.
This talent makes him an exceptionally rare research-oriented individual.
It would be a shame not to take it for ourselves.
He had no intention of becoming Hokage.
But, after all, he's a man destined to become the Fifth Hokage.
Konoha is practically our base of operations, so it's necessary to develop it further.
For someone from the 21st century, it is perfectly clear that technology is the primary productive force.
Even in a ninja world where individual combat skills are extremely high, and various Ninjutsu are so powerful that they can change the terrain, or even have world-destroying power.
The combination of science and the Ninjutsu system has an effect that cannot be ignored.
Of course, compared to doing things personally, Rikuto has always preferred to be a hands-off manager.
At most, I'll briefly mention the future development direction.
"Takumi Village?"
"Ultimate Weapon?"
"The Seimei the artisan ninja, Seimei?"
Upon hearing the Rikuto's command.
Shimura Danzō, Aburame Ryoma, the Second Tsuchikage Mu, and others were all astonished.
They all knew something about the Takumi Village, located in the Land of Artisans.
Founded by the renowned ninja craftsman Seimei, they were skilled in manufacturing and using ninja tools, and supplied ninja tools to ninjas from various countries.
But they didn't expect that the Craftsman Ninja was hiding some Ultimate Weapon.
The fact that this Rikuto) takes it seriously shows that it's not as simple as it seems.
Danzo agreed, "Yes, I'll go prepare right away!"
"Um..."
Rikuto nodded.
I won't say anything more.
Under the leadership of Aburame Ryoma.
We arrived at the spacious training room.
"Multiple Wood Clone Technique!"
In the blink of an eye.
Hundreds of Wood Clone appeared directly in the empty training room.
"Then let's begin... Share and summarize the information every fifteen minutes!" This was after Aburame Ryoma and her people had brought over all the experimental materials and equipment they needed.
The Rikuto were assigning tasks.
He led his Wood Clone and immediately began research.
Simply sealing ordinary Five Basic Nature Transformations into a scroll allows people to use it at any time.
