On the way back to the village,
Naruto held the Raijin Sword and asked Sasuke and Sakura, "Which one of you wants this sword?"
Before they could answer, he channeled chakra into the Raijin Sword, then casually swung and cut a tree in half.
"As long as you channel chakra, it creates lightning. Its power is no weaker than Chidori. Interested? Only one million ryo!"
Sakura was a bit tempted at first, but after hearing the price, she backed off right away.
Her family was well-off, but one million ryo was still a huge amount for them!
As for Sasuke, money wasn't the issue—he already had a sword.
Another one…
Seeing what Sasuke was thinking, Naruto said, "That big blade you have? I gave you that too. Don't forget to pay me one million!"
"..."
Sasuke's mouth twitched, speechless.
Wasn't that a gift when you gave it to me?
Now you're asking for money?
"This Raijin Sword is lightweight. Didn't you say that big blade feels too heavy sometimes? Against fast opponents, you can use this Raijin Sword and take advantage of your speed!"
"And it saves chakra—much more than Chidori!"
Hearing Naruto's pitch, Sasuke was tempted.
He didn't hesitate and bought the Raijin Sword on credit!
After selling the only valuable loot from this mission, Naruto turned his attention back to his new ability.
Max-level Observation Haki!
After a full day and night, he gained a deeper understanding of his max-level Observation Haki.
First, the most basic ability it gave Naruto was—danger sense!
Any attack with harmful intent toward him would be detected in advance!
Second, future sight!
He could foresee changes in things for a short time ahead, but it was silent—he could only see it, not hear it.
For example, whether Sasuke would buy the Raijin Sword was completely within his foresight!
From now on, he'd never worry about losing in a deal again!
Third is mind reading!
As long as Naruto focused, he could sense the emotions of all living things, and even understand what they wanted to express.
This meant he no longer had to worry about not being able to talk with the coin toad.
The fourth ability was ultra long-range sensing.
If Naruto wanted, he could even sense the path of meteors moving in space!
Too bad he didn't have the power of the Gravity Fruit, or else he could pull meteors down just for fun.
The fifth was x-ray vision!
Naruto hadn't expected this ability. It basically let him sense what was inside objects!
Naruto had tested it, and this ability could even see through clothes… it was like having a god's point of view!
...
When he returned to Konoha, Naruto went straight to the Hokage's office to report the mission to Tsunade.
But Tsunade didn't seem interested in hearing his report. Instead, she tossed him a mission card.
"Just write down the main details of the mission on this."
"..."
Naruto looked around. Neither Sasuke nor Sakura was with him.
He regretted not bringing them along. Now he had to write it himself.
"I'll bring this card to you tomorrow."
He turned to leave, but Tsunade wasn't letting him off.
"Don't think about slacking. Write it now and hand it in. I want to finish early so I can go home early!"
Tsunade complained, "Ever since I became Hokage, I haven't been able to drink freely in so long!"
Naruto almost said that it wasn't his fault Tsunade couldn't drink,
but then he remembered he was the one who had brought her back… so he couldn't really escape responsibility!
Helpless, he picked up the mission card and started writing.
But how was he supposed to do it?
"I don't know how to write this!"
Right after he said that, Tsunade tossed him a sample card someone else had written.
"From now on, every time you finish a mission, you'll write one of these. I don't have the patience to listen to you retell the whole thing."
"..."
Naruto sighed inside as he picked up the sample. It turned out to be Kakashi's mission card.
So Kakashi was back too!
Judging from the card, Kakashi had gone on a higher-level A-rank mission, protecting a noble from another country.
It was the same type of mission, so it was very useful as reference.
After reading carefully, Naruto copied the format and filled out his own mission card.
There was no need for long explanations, just the basics like injuries, enemy numbers, and the result!
He handed the mission card to Tsunade. She gave it a quick look, stamped it, and tossed it back at him.
"Go get your payment yourself!"
"..."
It seemed being Hokage had really made Tsunade cranky!
Just as he was about to leave, Tsunade suddenly asked, "Did you see the Sword of the Thunder God?"
The death of an A-rank rogue ninja like Rokusho Aoi wasn't enough to catch her attention,
but the fact that he had stolen her grandfather's weapon still bothered her.
"I sold it."
"..."
Tsunade's hands froze for a moment, then she waved impatiently, "Go, go, go!"
She did care a little, but since Naruto sold it, there was nothing she could do.
She couldn't buy it back, right?
She didn't have that kind of money.
And even if she did, it would just sit in the storage room gathering dust. She basically had no use for it.
Naruto shrugged and turned to leave.
Just as he stepped out of the Hokage's office, a voice rang in his ears.
[Ding!]
[Congratulations, master! First time completing a B-rank mission! Reward: Max-level Rokushiki! ♫]
As the voice faded, Naruto's mind and body automatically received all the related memories.
Soru, Tekkai, Kami-e, Geppo, Rankyaku, Shigan!
In just a moment, his body mastered all six skills and could use them easily whenever he wanted!
But among these six moves, only Geppo was somewhat useful for Naruto. The rest weren't much help.
Soru? Its speed wasn't faster than his Blink ability!
Iron Body... he didn't need defense. No one could hit him anyway!
Paper Art... does he need that when he has max-level Observation Haki?
Storm Kick... he already had max-level swordsmanship!
Finger Gun... not even close to his Kusanagi Sword!
But max-level Rokushiki also came with an advanced application—Seimei Kikan!
Anyone who mastered Seimei Kikan could freely control their body's growth and changes. For example, their hair could be as much or as little as they wanted, as long or as short as they liked!
