All That Remained Was to Draw Blood and Unleash Its Edge
His gaze returned to the open rectangular box, and a smile of immense satisfaction spread across Miya's face.
Mihyō Watari fully accepted his vision for the knife and crafted it with superb skill.
This is a Tang Dynasty-style horizontal sword.
Its narrow, straight blade is a deep blue, with a small guard, a long handle, and can be held with both hands. It is engraved with a divine dragon.
The blade is 101 cm long, and the tip is an obtuse angle of 140 degrees. Although I haven't handled it yet, Miya already feel its sharpness.
It is absolutely a top-tier, top-quality Ninja Blade.
In addition, the box also contained a scabbard engraved with a dragon pattern.
Her small hand gently stroked the knife, and she exclaimed in admiration:
"A fine knife, a fine knife."
From now on, your name will be Dragon Slayer.
As he finished naming the knife, Miya grabbed the hilt and took it out of the box.
Upon handling it, Miya became even more satisfied with the Dragon Hunt Blade, which made the Mihyō Watari, standing to the side, beam with immense joy.
After the Dragon Slayer was completed, Miya once again expressed his gratitude to the Mihyō Watari.
"Thank you very much, Master Watarito."
"I will absolutely not let it go to waste."
The Mihyō Watari waved his hand and quickly said:
"Of course, of course. The successful forging of this knife is all thanks to the materials you prepared, and it also fulfills my long-cherished wish."
With a satisfied expression, Mihyō Watari couldn't help but stroke his white beard.
Just as Miya was stroking the Dragon Hunt Blade, the bodies of the three Rain Ninja he had killed without further processing were finally discovered.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.
Three members of the spies Anbu Takumigakure, wearing animal masks, landed immediately after discovering the situation in the alley.
"They're from Amegakure."
"The methods were clean and efficient, a complete and utter display of superior strength."
"Report it!"
After a brief examination of the Rain Ninja's body, the three ANBU Anbu immediately made a judgment and, following standard procedure, reported it to their superiors.
"Yes."
To protect the scene, two ninja Anbu stayed behind, while one left in an instant.
These three Anbu operatives were well aware that incidents like this, occurring in their area, were generally very difficult to investigate thoroughly.
Unless the perpetrator reveals themselves voluntarily, or conducts extensive data analysis.
The former is almost impossible, while the latter requires the cooperation of the Takumigakure. It remains to be seen what price the Amegakure is willing to pay for it.
Not long after, the Anbu who had just left returned, followed by several other ninjas.
The people from Amegakure were prominently featured in the list.
"Kōji."
The Rain Ninja cried out in alarm upon seeing the corpse on the ground.
He then forced himself to calm down.
His long career as a ninja taught him that the more anxious he was, the calmer he should be.
Even if the corpse in front of him was his son or nephew.
This Rain Ninja is a veteran Jonin named Amatsuka Fukiya, and one of the squad leaders sent by Amegakure to Takumigakure this time.
Kōji, who died at the hands of Miya, was his own son.
Although the Amatsuka Clan is not very famous in the Shinobi World, they have always been a mainstay of Amegakure.
Who did this?
The seemingly calm Jonin, Fukiya, gritted his teeth and asked Takumi, who was standing around him, with a mixture of grief and indignation in his heart.
Two hours later.
Holding the Dragon Hunt Blade sheathed in his hand, Miya left the Gyohei Ninja Tool Shop and temporarily stayed at an inn in Takumigakure.
As soon as he returned to his room, Miya eagerly drew his Dragon Hunt Blade.
The more Miya looked at the Dragon Hunt Blade, the more he loved it.
Meanwhile, because there were outsiders present and he hadn't had much Miya to test the Dragon Slayer Dragon Hunt Blade, Miya immediately put it to use in order to adapt to it more quickly.
Lightning Release: Lightning Blade Slash.
At first, Miya used the Dragon Hunt Blade to perform a simple Lightning Release Ninjutsu.
This is the effect of Chakra conduction.
In an instant, Miya felt the difference between using the Dragon Hunt Blade and using ordinary Kunai perform Ninjutsu.
Whether it's the speed of casting Ninjutsu, the power of Ninjutsu, or the comfort of holding it, the Dragon Hunt Blade is miles ahead of ordinary Kunai.
"No wonder Chakra Metal is so precious."
After experiencing it firsthand, Miya understood why Chakra Metal was so precious.
Although his strength had reached the level of Miya, ninja tools like Ninja Blade did not significantly enhance his abilities. Furthermore, he was not a ninja skilled in swordsmanship, but rather used them more for certain special Ninjutsu.
For example, the current Lightning Blade Slash Jutsu.
However, this is for an ordinary ninja.
Obtaining a ninja tool made of Chakra Metal would be a qualitative change.
It allows for faster execution of Ninjutsu, and the power of Ninjutsu is also greatly enhanced. Perhaps at certain crucial moments, this subtle difference is enough to determine the success or failure of a battle.
The very first attempt brought Miya such a great surprise, which made him love the Dragon Hunt Blade even more.
After testing his Lightning Release, Miya thought to himself:
"It's time to learn swordsmanship."
Learning swordsmanship wasn't a spur-of-the-moment decision for Miya; he had considered this question when he decided to forge a Ninja Blade.
As a ninja with high attack, high agility, and high defense, Miya felt that he should develop in more ways.
Looking at the entire ninja world, aside from those overpowered characters, the truly famous, historically significant, and surviving ninjas who lived to the end were all those with a wide variety of methods.
After experiencing it firsthand, Miya also summarized the main reason.
The upper limit of talent.
Some people spend their entire lives achieving only the rank of Chunin or Jonin. After fully realizing their potential, what can they do if they want to continue improving their strength?
Since we can't climb in a straight line, we can only develop vertically, right?
Finding the right direction and enriching one's methods, when faced with situations where brute force cannot solve everything, using various appropriate means to cope is also a good approach.
Although Miya felt that he was a tiny bit stronger than those people, his talent ceiling was very low.
Therefore, I learned swordsmanship.
It is very necessary.
And so it was decided happily.
Having decided on his next training plan, Miya calmed his mind and continued to experiment with the Dragon Hunt Blade.
This allows you to get used to the knife in your hand more quickly.
Nuclear Release: Lightning Blade Slash.
The Dragon Hunt Blade could still easily withstand the Nuclear Release, leaving Miya overjoyed. What other word could better describe his feelings at this moment?
The Dragon Hunt Blade, forged primarily from fragments of "stars" and Chakra Metal, is imbued with azure lightning blades.
Dazzling and captivating.
Also, fangs flashed.
All that's missing is to drink blood and unleash its power.
