One month later, at night.
Land of Whirlpools Weapons Forging Room.
Masahiko held a bizarre-looking sword in each hand and took a deep breath.
Calling them swords seed like an exaggeration.
The one in his left hand had no point or edge at all; it was just a stick, similar in shape to Ayuri Ringo's Lightning Swords.
As for the one in his right hand, calling it a sword was less accurate than calling it a dagger. It was no more than twenty centiters long, and it was covered in dense patterns that could drive anyone with trypophobia crazy.
Although their appearances left much to be desired, Masahiko was deeply satisfied inwardly.
"It wasn't a waste for to specifically spend 5 Witness Points to max out my Forging skill, forging two divine artifacts..."
To save Witness Points, Masahiko's Forging skill had always been at level eight. And at that level, he could already craft Tobirama's Sword of the Thunder God.
Now that he had maxed it out, coupled with his level nine Sealing Jutsu, even Masahiko himself was afraid of the things he forged.
"These two swords... the Electric Sword is fine, but the other one won't be easy to distribute." Masahiko felt slightly troubled. He looked at the sky; it had already completely darkened.
"I'll test the swords tomorrow and see if they can achieve my expected results."
...
The next day.
Before dawn, Masahiko dragged his two disciples and Minato and Kushina to the training ground.
Ignoring their drowsy expressions, Masahiko felt that good things should be shared with others... Anyway, he was full of energy.
"Yo! Teacher, what's going on so early?"
Masahiko smiled. "Wasn't I forging the two missing ninja swords previously? Now that I have the finished products, I called you over to take a look and test them."
The four perked up slightly, harboring so anticipation. But when Masahiko pulled out the two bizarre swords...
"Great-Grandpa, we're heading back first. Naruto will be waking up soon, and I still have to make breakfast for him," Kushina said.
"Yo! Teacher, I'm going back to catch up on sleep. I have a lot of things to busy myself with today." Nagato yawned.
"What do you have to be busy with?" Masahiko glared at him.
Konan softly explained, "Teacher, tomorrow is the New Year. The few of us have to prepare for the festival."
Masahiko was stunned. "Oh... I almost forgot. It's fine, it won't take long. If I don't test these two swords, your teacher won't be able to sleep."
If Masahiko can't sleep, they can't sleep well either...
Seeing Nagato still looking drowsy, Masahiko poked him with the stick...
"Ah! Teacher, there's no need to use Lightning Release." A current of electricity passed through him, and Nagato shivered, jolting awake.
Masahiko smiled. "I didn't use Lightning Release. This Electric Sword inherently carries lightning, and as chakra is infused, the intensity of the Lightning Release will get higher and higher, higher and higher, with no upper limit."
"No upper limit?" Minato instantly grasped the key point and asked in confusion. The others also perked up.
"Mm, no upper limit. The upper limit is the user's chakra reserves. For example, if I infuse my chakra at full power..."
Masahiko outputted his full power and thrust the sword into the ground. The other four simultaneously felt a numbness in their feet, almost unable to stand steady.
The most crucial point was that there was no visible change to the sword itself at this mont; Masahiko had sealed all the fluctuations within the blade.
"This thing..." Nagato scratched his head. "Is a bit sinister."
Masahiko was speechless. "Watch your words! This is called strategy and tactics. Besides the sword itself, it also has the effect of enhancing Lightning Release. It's significantly stronger than those Lightning Swords, Kiba."
"Great-Grandpa, you forged it by imitating those swords, didn't you?" Kushina laughed.
Masahiko's face darkened. Life is hard, don't expose .
After the materials from Konoha arrived, he pondered for a long ti but had no creative ideas, so he could only imitate the Lightning Swords to make this Electric Sword.
"Whether I imitated it or not is none of your business. This sword is stronger. Ayuri Ringo's swords are inferior products; mine is the original!" Masahiko said righteously.
He tossed the sword to Nagato. "You choose soone to assign this sword to. There shouldn't be many ninjas in the Land of Whirlpools proficient in Lightning Release."
"Yo!"
"Next, the most important one is this sword." Masahiko pulled out the dagger.
"So many sealing formulas." Kushina frowned slightly. "Is this a sealing sword? No, these formulas..."
Masahiko smiled. "The na of this sword is the 40-ter Machete."
"40-ter Machete? Teacher, great na!" Nagato suppressed a laugh.
Masahiko looked at him, hesitated for a mont, and suddenly sighed. "Nagato, are you deliberately playing along with your teacher?"
Nagato: "...?"
"I only forged these two swords, and you're over there making all sorts of jabs. Are you trying to make your teacher feel more a sense of accomplishnt?"
Nagato scratched his head. "Yo! Teacher, I wasn't fully awake just now. Please continue."
Masahiko glanced at the other three. Minato's expression was normal, Kushina looked thoughtful, while Konan was trying hard to hold back a laugh.
"They really are acting as my straight n?" Masahiko felt slightly gratified, but then a bit speechless. "But what's with this thod of coaxing a child?"
Masahiko pointed the dagger at Nagato. "Co, co, co. I'll let you run 39 ters first, and we'll see if my 40-ter Machete can hack you to death."
Nagato's face turned bitter. "Teacher, I was wrong!"
Masahiko rolled his eyes, ignored him, took a few steps forward to face an empty area, and pointed the dagger forward.
As chakra was infused, a pale blue chakra blade extended from the front of the dagger. Following the amount of chakra Masahiko infused, the blade extended longer and longer, gradually reaching several tens of ters.
With a flip of his wrist and a horizontal slash, several large trees were cut down instantly.
Cutting off the chakra supply, the chakra blade vanished instantly.
"Try it yourselves. Don't infuse too much strong chakra at once. You won't be able to adapt without practice; take it little by little."
Masahiko tossed the sword to the four.
Watching the four experint, Masahiko discovered another use for this sword: it could relatively accurately asure a person's chakra reserves.
He nad the sword the 40-ter Machete because even when Masahiko infused chakra with his full power, he could only form a 40-ter blade.
As for the other four, the most was Kushina, who, by drawing on the Nine-Tails' chakra, could barely reach 30 ters. She was currently laughing loudly and comforting Minato... Minato, who only reached around 10 ters, expressed that he felt terrible.
After testing every aspect—length, sharpness, and so on—the sun had already risen. Masahiko took the sword back; he really couldn't bear to give this thing away.
"Alright, you've worked hard testing the swords all morning. Go back and catch so sleep."
The four looked at each other with bitter smiles. Look at the ti, sleep what sleep? Let's just stay up and party...
Having sent the four away, Kimimaro, Haku, and Karin happened to arrive together. It was ti for Masahiko's final day of instruction for them.
"Today is the last day, cherish it well."
The three had different expressions. Kimimaro looked thoroughly disappointed, Karin was expressionless but overjoyed inwardly... Haku still wore a 'sweet' smile, which once again dazzled Masahiko.
"I have to beat Naruto up one more ti. The final beating as a five-year-old; tomorrow he turns six..."
"Six years old, it's ti to enter the academy." Masahiko felt sowhat lancholic...
