Naruto: The Uchiha They Should Have Killed Chapter 93: All Things in the Universe Shall Turn to Ash!

"The Seven Ninja Swordsn of the Mist, huh?" Granny Cat raised an eyebrow. "I did hear that you defeated them on the Kirigakure battlefield. Looks like you were quite lucky, kid."

After a pause, she added:

"Rumor has it that the swords wielded by the Seven Ninja Swordsn are bound to summoning contracts established by Kirigakure through special thods. If you take them out now, won't the Hidden Mist just summon them back?"

Ren shook his head.

"Don't worry. I've already used a Contract Seal to cancel the summoning contracts on these swords. They belong to now. Otherwise, I wouldn't have brought them here."

Granny Cat nodded and opened the storage scroll.

Forming a hand seal, she activated the scroll and summoned everything sealed inside.

Seven swords appeared in the room.

She looked over them one by one.

"Kubikiribōchō… Nuibari… Kabutowari… Shibuki… Kiba… Hirakarei… Sahada…"

Granny Cat glanced up at Ren with surprise.

"Seven swords? I heard you only killed four mbers of the Seven Ninja Swordsn."

Ren smiled.

"When I saw their swords, I imdiately took an interest in them. Once they realized I was targeting the weapons, they abandoned the swords to escape."

"Otherwise, three of them wouldn't have survived."

For the Seven Ninja Swordsn, losing their swords wasn't the end of the world—they could retrieve them later through Kirigakure's summoning contract.

But if they lost their lives, there would be no getting them back.

Once they realized Ren's true target was their weapons, Fuguki Suikazan was the first to throw down Sahada to buy himself ti to escape.

When the others saw Ren ignore the unard Fuguki and pursue the remaining swordsn instead, they imdiately followed suit.

Without hesitation, they threw their swords in different directions and fled.

That put them all on equal footing again.

Ren then began hunting them indiscriminately.

Even so, the delay allowed three of them to escape.

Of course, the swordsn had never expected Ren to know Contract Sealing. Otherwise, convincing them to abandon their blades would have been far more difficult.

"I see," Granny Cat said, nodding thoughtfully. "So what kind of blade do you want forged?"

Each of the seven swords Ren brought contained a large amount of chakra-conductive tal, and each possessed unique abilities.

On the black market, each one could easily sell for tens of millions of ryō.

Granny Cat was no longer worried about Ren's ability to pay.

Ren said:

"Granny Cat, would it be possible to lt so of these down and reforge them into a completely new blade—one that combines their properties?"

"For example… combining Kubikiribōchō's regeneration, Kabutowari's durability, Shibuki's heat resistance, and Hirakarei's chakra transformation ability into a single weapon."

Each of the seven swords had its own special power.

Kubikiribōchō could regenerate itself by absorbing iron from the blood of those it cut, restoring both the blade and a bit of the wielder's stamina.Kabutowari relied on overwhelming weight and hardness, said to be capable of breaking through any defense.Shibuki could summon explosive tags, unleashing devastating explosive slashes.Hirakarei could expand and form condensed chakra constructs, releasing powerful chakra blasts.

If the abilities of these four swords could be combined into one blade, it would surely produce an unparalleled weapon.

"You're dreaming!" Granny Cat rolled her eyes.

"Each of these swords was born under unique and unrepeatable circumstances."

"Even lting them down and recreating their original forms would be nearly impossible—let alone combining their abilities into a single blade."

"If that were possible, Kirigakure would have done it already. They wouldn't have waited for you to co up with the idea."

"So forget about it. You'd be better off selling these and buying a suitable blade."

Ren sighed in disappointnt.

Ordinary ninja blades could barely withstand the heat generated by his Fla-Fla Fruit power.

Even a sword forged entirely from chakra tal would probably last only a few seconds once temperatures exceeded ten thousand degrees.

"Durable… sturdy… heat-resistant…"

Granny Cat muttered, thinking.

"Wait a mont. I might actually have sothing that fits your requirents."

She hesitated briefly before standing and rummaging through a storage cabinet.

Ren's eyes lit up with anticipation.

Granny Cat specialized in weapons and equipnt. It wouldn't be surprising if she had rare items hidden away.

Soon, she returned with another storage scroll and unsealed it in front of him.

Ren looked closer.

The scroll contained several sealed symbols marked with characters such as "Ten," "Eight," and "Fire."

Granny Cat asked:

"Have you ever heard of the Kusanagi Sword?"

"The Kusanagi Sword?!" Ren's eyes brightened. "Of course. Orochimaru, one of the Legendary Sannin, wields one. I've heard it's a legendary divine weapon."

Granny Cat nodded.

"That's right. The Kusanagi swords are legendary weapons."

"They're incredibly durable, and each one possesses its own special ability."

Ren recalled the Kusanagi swords from Naruto lore.

Orochimaru's Kusanagi could extend and retract freely, cut through nearly anything, and even be controlled like a flying sword.Sasuke Uchiha's Kusanagi likely enhanced Lightning Release techniques.Itachi Uchiha's Totsuka Blade was a spiritual weapon ford of chakra that sealed whatever it pierced.

Then Ren suddenly froze.

His eyes slowly drifted toward the symbol "Ten" on the scroll.

Could that possibly be the Totsuka Blade?

Granny Cat continued speaking.

"Legend says there are eleven Kusanagi swords, scattered throughout the shinobi world."

"I happened to obtain three of them."

She ford a hand seal and tapped the symbol marked "Fire."

A long sword appeared.

It looked like an ordinary katana.

The hilt was deep purple, the guard oval-shaped, and the scabbard brown.

But the mont the blade appeared, a sharp sulfur sll mixed with burning heat spread throughout the room.

Granny Cat said:

"This sword is said to have been born from volcanic magma."

"When its blade moves, it can ignite the very air itself."

"Ordinary scabbards can't even withstand the heat it produces."

She paused before announcing its na.

"This sword is called—"

Zanka no Tachi.

"A divine blade said to burn all things in the world to ash."

The mont the sword appeared, Ren's attention had already been completely drawn to it.

So instinct deep within him told him—

This blade belonged to him.

But when Granny Cat spoke its na, Ren shot to his feet in shock.

He stared at her in disbelief.

"Granny… what did you say this sword is called?"

"Zanka no Tachi," she repeated. "Why? Have you heard of it before?"

Ren nodded reflexively.

Zanka no Tachi…

That was the na of the Bankai of Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto, the strongest Shinigami in two thousand years from the world of Bleach.

How could he not know it?

But…

Was this really that sa blade?

Granny Cat assud Ren had rely read the na in so ancient text and didn't question him further.

"Of course, burning the entire world to ash is probably exaggerated," she said.

"But Zanka no Tachi is indeed a powerful fire-attribute divine weapon."

"It's sturdy, durable, and extrely heat-resistant."

"It also amplifies Fire Release techniques."

A flash of excitent appeared in Ren's eyes.

Without hesitation, he grabbed the sword.

The mont his hand closed around it, he felt an imdiate sense of connection, as if the blade were an extension of his own body.

Clang!

Ren drew the blade.

The friction between steel and air ignited roaring flas along the sword.

"Magnificent!"

He could tell that this version of Zanka no Tachi did not possess the sa overwhelming power as the one from the world of Bleach.

But it was undeniably the perfect weapon for him right now.

"That's a Kusanagi sword, of course it's good!" Granny Cat quickly stepped back to avoid the heat.

"Put that thing away before you burn my house down!"

Realizing his recklessness, Ren quickly sheathed the blade.

The mont the sword returned to the scabbard, glowing sealing runes appeared on the sheath, suppressing the flas.

Ren looked surprised.

Granny Cat explained:

"The scabbard was crafted from the trunk of the God Tree."

"It's incredibly durable."

"On top of that, it's engraved with Fire-Sealing Runes that suppress the blade's heat."

"Unfortunately, ti has worn down those seals, which is why so of the heat leaks out."

"If you want to use this sword safely, you should repair the seal."

"That's easy," Ren said imdiately.

He placed his hand on the scabbard.

"Seal!"

Dark sealing characters spread across the sheath, restoring the damaged Fire-Sealing Formula.

Although Fire-Sealing techniques were specialized, they were not particularly complex compared to many advanced fūinjutsu.

Ren was more than capable of repairing it.

Seeing this, Granny Cat said:

"It seems you're very satisfied with that sword."

"I am," Ren replied firmly. "I'll take it."

Then he looked at her with slight complaint.

"If you had sothing this good, why didn't you show it to earlier?"
