"The legendary ninja sword?" The Kazekage looked at the ancient ninja sword handed to him by the ninja below and murmured, "Does such a ninja sword exist in the Land of Wind?"
He did not expect that terrifying sandstorm to have been caused by this ninja sword.
Only.
The Land of Wind.
Does its history really go back that far?
"Not clear." A Suna ninja shook his head and said, "We have already arranged for ninjas to investigate, but they discovered that period of history is the same as in other countries."
"It has disappeared."
After searching through ancient books all afternoon, he still found nothing beautiful.
He had already arranged for people to investigate at the Land of Wind's Daimyo residence to see if they could discover anything.
"An unknown millennium." The Kazekage said with emotion. Then he picked up the ninja sword and stared at it with a fervent gaze. "Power surpassing the God of Shinobi."
It truly is a ninja sword capable of unleashing a sandstorm that blots out the sky.
Such massive chakra. The Kazekage's mouth curved into a slight smile as he gently stroked the ancient sword hilt. If he could gain the recognition of the sword spirit.
The shinobi world would belong to the Sunagakure.
As for the Land of Wind's Daimyo.
Let's see if he still dares to withhold funds from Sunagakure.
Only.
How to awaken the sword spirit.
He knew that up to now, no ninja in Konoha had succeeded.
"It seems I really must attend that auction in a few days." The Kazekage sighed and said with feeling, "Perhaps I can discover something there."
If their Sunagakure has no money.
But it should still be fine to join in the excitement.
"Dismissed." The Kazekage said to the Jonin before him, then began to examine the ninja sword again.
The legendary ninja sword.
He would study it carefully tonight.
And.
"The shinobi world." The Kazekage looked at the village, which had returned to peace after the ninja sword was drawn, and murmured, "The wind is about to blow again."
No ninja village wishes to see another village master such powerful strength.
Unless.
They also possess it.
Land of Whirlpools.
"The new type of corn seeds you wanted have been developed." Hiruko pointed at the experimental product nearby and complained, "If you want to increase yield, just inject Life Potion."
"Why go to all this trouble?"
"You don't understand." Uzumaki Jun shook his head and said, "Does this genetically modified corn have any harmful effects on the human body?"
Life Potion is far too precious.
It cannot be casually revealed to others.
And.
He just wanted to see if Hiruko could develop food beneficial to the human body.
Relying solely on Life Potion is too monotonous.
"There aren't any." Hiruko shook his head and said, "In fact, this genetically modified corn tastes quite good. It's just that it can easily lead to obesity and high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and high cholesterol for ordinary people."
"Too many nutrients?" Uzumaki Jun frowned and said, "What about for ninjas?"
If he remembered correctly, corn is a plant.
Even if it has too much vegetable oil, it shouldn't cause such problems.
"Yes." Hiruko nodded and said, "I implanted wild boar genes into it and found that the obesity gene could actually combine perfectly with the corn gene."
"As for ninjas."
"Because ninjas absorb nutrients from food quickly, this corn can be rapidly converted into the nutrients they need."
There is such an operation.
Uzumaki Jun was shocked. He truly is someone who can turn himself into a monster.
He actually recombined plant and animal genes.
Truly.
"Work hard." Uzumaki Jun patted Hiruko's shoulder and said with feeling, "You will definitely leave a significant mark in the history of the shinobi world."
The Land of Whirlpools needs experts like you.
Probably even the God of Shinobi won't be as famous as you by then.
Only.
More testing is still needed.
Uzumaki Jun touched his chin and thought for a moment. After all, the effects of genetic modification are unpredictable. It might be fine now, but problems could arise from long term consumption.
"It seems we need to have Gato properly advertise it." Uzumaki Jun shook his head and said with feeling, "Sell it at a higher price."
Sell it to the nobles of the shinobi world.
Things like kidney tonics, beauty enhancers, and such. He believed they would definitely be interested in this new type of crop.
Hiruko heard Uzumaki Jun's words and didn't mind. Someone who was so harsh on himself would be even harsher on others.
And.
This kind of corn won't kill people.
Although he hadn't been in the Land of Whirlpools for long.
This Uzumaki Daimyo indeed hadn't asked him to do anything else.
It's just.
There are too many boring things that need experimenting.
"The others, I am also working on them." Hiruko sighed and said helplessly, "It might just take a bit longer."
"It's fine." Uzumaki Jun nodded indifferently and said, "The Land of Whirlpools is not short on food now."
One could say the production of Life Potion.
Means the Land of Whirlpools only lacks land.
Of course.
Universal education still has a long way to go.
Currently, about sixty percent of the people in the Land of Whirlpools are its citizens. The rest are outsiders.
So.
"It's time to grant citizenship to some of the common people." Uzumaki Jun frowned and murmured, "As for the assessment matters."
Leave it to the management of the various departments.
Konoha Year 40, Early Winter.
This year's winter arrived a bit later than previous winters.
And the Land of Iron.
Because of the legendary ninja sword, it was particularly lively this year. Everyone, whether rich or poor, from large or small ninja villages, came to join the excitement.
After all.
That incident of Frostmourne freezing everything for miles sounded truly terrifying.
If no one had witnessed it personally.
Probably no one would believe it. So this time, they all came to catch a glimpse of the legendary ninja sword. As for buying it.
After thinking about it, better not cause trouble.
The Five Great Ninja Villages weren't proclaimed by themselves. They were earned through strength.
"Konoha, hmph." The Third Raikage looked at the Konoha team appearing in the Land of Iron and said coldly, "That old monkey really has a thick skin."
Those who came here were the village leaders of their respective villages. And Konoha.
They actually sent his disciples.
Are they looking down on the four great ninja villages.
Even if they are two of the Konoha Sannin.
That was just Hanzo boasting.
Back then, those three Sannin were completely exhausted. If the war hadn't ended, continuing to fight would have caused heavy losses to Amegakure. Probably Hanzo would have wanted to finish them off.
Even if their strength has increased these past few years, he, the Raikage, isn't afraid.
Tsunade glanced at the Third Raikage, then turned her head and walked inside. She really wasn't in the mood to deal with them. If the old man hadn't told her to come here to relax, she wouldn't have wanted to come. The casinos in Konoha were waiting for her to win big.
And Jiraiya.
"The teacher is busy." Jiraiya said cheerfully to the Raikage. Tsunade could afford to be that willful, but he, Jiraiya, could not.
No matter what, he now represented the Hokage. So.
He couldn't lose face, and he couldn't be impolite.
And.
On the way to the Land of Iron, Jiraiya discovered.
That book is completely deceptive.
If you don't seek out Tsunade, she can ignore you the entire way.
So.
He is the Toad Sage, the dream of thousands of girls in the shinobi world. Why would he need to learn from a book.
It's just that he got punched quite a few times along the way. It was the same familiar feeling, and he was already used to it.
Not getting hit made him feel uncomfortable all over.
"Hmph." The Raikage saw Jiraiya's grinning face and the disdain of the God of Shinobi's granddaughter, didn't say anything, snorted coldly, and walked inside.
He disdains arguing with juniors.
