Natsuki reached out and grasped Nuibari.
The Chakra pouring out of his palm gradually enveloped Nuibari and seeped inside.
A mont later, he used Projection Magecraft.
A duplicate that looked exactly like Nuibari appeared.
The reason it was so fast was that Nuibari's material was not particularly special.
The seven ninja swords of the Seven Ninja Swordsn of the Mist could be said to each have their own unique characteristics.
Nuibari's characteristic was its senbon-like shape, giving it extrely strong piercing power.
In terms of unique materials, Sahada, Kubikiribocho, and Lightning Blades: Kiba stood out.
Sahada was a living organism.
Kubikiribocho could absorb the blood of its targets.
Lightning Blades: Kiba had the effect of attracting lightning, allowing Lightning Release ninja to save a large amount of Chakra.
For Projection Magecraft to approach the original, the user needed to have seen it and have a certain level of understanding.
In short, the more one understood it, the more real it beca.
Natsuki then picked up Kabutowari.
Its characteristic was its weight, making it suitable for strength-type ninja.
After a short while, Natsuki projected Kabutowari.
When it was Sahada's turn, he ran into trouble.
Because the Chakra he funneled in would be devoured by Sahada.
It seed there was no way to project it.
Natsuki thought for a mont, then took out the Sword of the Thunder God and projected it.
After completing the projection, a progress bar appeared for Ability Three of the Archer Template. It was already three-sevenths complete.
Half an hour later, Tsunade, Keisuke, and the others walked out of the council hall.
Natsuki looked up at them.
He noticed that Keisuke's expression was not very good.
Could it be that the negotiations had broken down?
"The talk is finished. We'll rest for the night and return to Konoha tomorrow."
Tsunade t Natsuki's gaze and spoke.
It seed the negotiations had been successfully completed.
Keisuke's grim expression was likely because he had guessed Hiruzen's intentions.
But he had no choice but to agree.
"Tsunade-sensei, I want to study Sahada a bit more."
Natsuki nodded and continued.
He wanted to try again. If it really did not work, he would give up.
"Then it will be left in your care for the ti being."
Tsunade said nonchalantly.
Although Sahada was precious, it was limited to ninja skilled in kenjutsu or swordsmanship.
To her, it was just a decent trophy.
"If you like it, you can keep it."
Orochimaru suddenly spoke up, "With your contributions in this battle, it is entirely sufficient."
There was a high probability that Sahada would be traded back to Kirigakure.
First, because Kirigakure would surely pay a price that would satisfy Konoha.
Second, because no ninja in Konoha was willing to use enough contribution points to exchange for Sahada.
Natsuki was slightly stunned upon hearing this.
Sahada was indeed very good, but he did not plan on keeping it.
After all, he now had the Archer Template. Once he fully unlocked Projection Magecraft, he could project all kinds of swords.
Besides that, there was another reason. Sahada was a traitor.
It liked ninja with high-quality Chakra.
In the original work, it followed Killer Bee because it was obsessed with the Eight-Tails' Chakra.
Although Natsuki now had four Kakashis' worth of Chakra, he was far from being a Jinchuriki.
He suddenly let out a soft exclamation.
Could it be given to Kushina?
But she did not know how to use a sword. She was better with her fists.
Moreover, based on Natsuki's understanding of her, Sahada did not fit her aesthetic.
However, as the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, whether she had Sahada or not did not really matter.
If Kushina did not want it, then perhaps it could be given to Nawaki.
As a mber of the Senju Clan, Nawaki's Chakra quality was also high, second only to a Jinchuriki.
Although he did not know how to use a sword either, he could learn from Orochimaru.
"Kushina and Nawaki might be more suitable for it."
Natsuki thought about it and said.
"Why?"
Tsunade asked instinctively.
"I just studied Sahada and found that it likes ninja with a lot of Chakra."
Natsuki paused and added, "Besides, Sahada isn't suitable for my swordsmanship."
He could not imagine using such a clunky ninja sword with the swordsmanship of the Zoro Template or the Kamado Tanjiro Template.
The sight would simply be unbearable.
"I see."
Tsunade nodded slightly.
She originally had no interest in Sahada, but after hearing Natsuki's words, she wanted to keep it for Kushina and Nawaki.
With her status and contributions, keeping it would be an easy matter.
"The only problem is that Kirigakure has a Ninja Sword Summoning Scroll that can summon it,"
Jiraiya reminded them.
"Our Uzumaki Clan can help with this matter," Keisuke had recovered his composure and said with a smile, "The Uzumaki Clan has the Contract Seal, which can sever summoning contracts."
"There's actually such a Sealing Jutsu?"
Jiraiya asked in surprise.
Tsunade and Orochimaru were also surprised.
Natsuki rembered after being reminded by him.
In the original work, Minato used the Contract Seal to free the Nine-Tails from the control of Uchiha Obito.
Jiraiya and the others did not know because Mito had never used it or told them about it.
In the original work, because the Uzumaki Clan was wiped out, their Sealing Jutsu essentially belonged to Konoha.
But it was different now. Without the clan being wiped out, it was impossible for Mito to teach the core Sealing Jutsu of her clan to Konoha ninja.
This would cause the Uzumaki Clan and Konoha to drift apart, or even beco enemies.
"When it cos to Sealing Jutsu, the Uzumaki Clan is quite comprehensive,"
Keisuke said with a smile.
Tsunade and the others nodded. It was indeed a fact that could not be refuted.
A new day.
Natsuki followed Tsunade and Orochimaru back to Konoha.
Jiraiya did not leave. He stayed behind with the other Konoha ninja to guard against another attack from Kumogakure and Kirigakure.
Although the possibility was low, it was always better to be safe than sorry.
While Natsuki and the others were on the road, the defeated ninja from the two villages had already fled back.
The Raikage Building of Kumogakure.
With a bang!
The Third Raikage slamd his fist down, and the entire Raikage desk instantly shattered into pieces.
"Raikage-sama, please calm down,"
Dodai said.
He was a Kumogakure Jonin and the evaluator for the Double Lariat, holding a status second only to the Third Raikage.
The so-called Double Lariat referred to the combination technique of successive Raikage and the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki.
"It is highly probable that Kirigakure made a mistake, allowing Konoha to learn the news in advance,"
Dodai added. "With Jiraiya, Tsunade, and Orochimaru leading the team, plus the ambush, our defeat was not undeserved."
"Kirigakure is truly incapable of handling great responsibilities!"
The Third Raikage said with great dissatisfaction.
"After this incident, Konoha and the Uzumaki Clan will certainly be on guard. A sneak attack will be difficult to succeed again unless a war is launched," Dodai said slowly. "We can first observe the battle situation in the Land of Rain before deciding whether to participate."
The Third Raikage nodded upon hearing this.
Although Kumogakure's current situation was decent, there were also many problems.
For example, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, Blue B, had developed psychological issues due to bullying by the villagers, resulting in an unstable state.
Another example was that his son was still young. If anything happened to him, the boy would find it difficult to hold everything together.
The Third Raikage's idea was to focus on taking small gains during this Great Ninja War, and wait until the next one for Kumogakure to make its move.
Of course, Konoha's strength also made him wary.
Konoha was currently at its peak, and its strength was even slightly superior to that of Kumogakure.
In comparison, on Kirigakure's side, the Third Mizukage's reaction was very calm.
He simply said to send soone to negotiate with Konoha to bring back Fuguki and the others.
