Konoha's strength is supreme

After the team returned to Konoha, they first went to the Third Hokage to make a report.

When the Third Hokage heard that this C-level mission was almost A-level in difficulty, he was speechless and threatened to put Dazuna on Konoha's blacklist.

Naruto: "Fortunately, the name of the bridge is Kakashi's Bridge. I heard that Grandpa Dazuna said that the deeds of Konoha ninjas should be engraved on the inscription in front of the bridge, which is also good publicity. "

The Third Hokage: "Well, this is pretty good."

"Anyway, I've worked hard on you on this trip because of my mistake. Kakashi leaves you three to go home and have a good rest for the day."

The next thing is the py transaction time between Kakashi and the Third Hokage.

As for the content, Naruto was not interested at all. His mind had already flown to the uncle in the ninja shop.

How much living steel can be smelted after smelting the beheading sword?

It's quite a lot to think about such a big handle.

After all, it is not too shabby to say that it is one of the famous weapons of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of Kirigakure Village.

After hearing the Third Hokage's permission, Naruto rushed out immediately.

Even Hinata didn't catch up, so she had no choice but to weakly say "see you tomorrow" from behind.

When he came to the ninja tool shop, in order to prevent the Third Hokage from confiscating his sword, Naruto had his clone come here directly with the big sword when he entered Konoha.

"Jingle Bell"

Naruto pushed the door open and the doorbell on the door rang.

Naruto: "Uncle, how about this big sword? Can it be smelted?"

The uncle was stroking the spine of the big knife with his eyes closed and solemnly at this time.

Naruto's body pushed the door open before opening his eyes: "Are you sure you want to smelt this sword? From the workmanship of this sword, I can feel that this sword is definitely made by a famous hand, and its value is immeasurable."

Naruto: "No matter how fine the melted sword is, it's not suitable for me to use. I can use the refined living steel to make a sword suitable for me."

Uncle: ""

He wanted to say that this was a famous sword. Its value was definitely not only its materials and workmanship, but also its external added value.

It's like an antique. Although it is scrap metal at best, its net worth is hundreds of times, thousands of times and tens of thousands of times higher than that of scrap metal.

Hundreds of thousands and millions is not an exaggeration.

Uncle: "If you just want live steel, you will definitely get more by buying this knife than you can refine it."

Naruto: "Who will change?"

The uncle wants to say that you have to change your things.

The words came to his lips but did not come out. He suddenly thought of another question.

For such a precious knife, the little guy in front of me really didn't have the ability to exchange it for it, so it would be better if it was robbed.

Could it be that the little guy sees more clearly than he does?

Of course, what's more important is that Naruto is afraid of trouble.

Naruto: "Uncle, can you help me change it?"

Uncle: "Well, can you tell me the origin of this knife? I can estimate it."

Naruto: "Uncle, you didn't see it"

The uncle smiled bitterly: "To be honest, although I can barely forge a decent weapon, it is still far behind the real sword-making people. This is why my sword-making cost is almost not much."

Naruto: "Then uncle knows Kirigakure Village?"

The uncle raised his eyebrows: "Are you talking about the legendary Blood Mist Village?"

Naruto nodded.

Uncle: "That village stopped communicating with the outside world more than ten years ago. Very little is known about it, but there are many terrifying legends. How come this knife is related to that ninja village?"

Naruto: "The Blood Mist Village is famous for its seven ninja swordsmen, and this sword is one of them."

Uncle: ""

"Then can I ask how you got it?"

Naruto could see that his uncle was about to give up.

But he didn't regret saying it. This uncle gave him a good feeling, and he didn't intend to trick anyone.

Make things clear and do it if you want to do it. If you don't want to do it, there are other places in Konoha that can be forged. At worst, you will deceive others.

Then Naruto told some things he encountered while going out on a mission.

During this period, the uncle had closed the store door tightly, and there was even a sign outside that said it was temporarily closed.

After listening to Naruto's story, the uncle's blood, which had almost stagnated, couldn't help but boil.

Of course, the specific details were not disclosed. After all, many things about ninjas need to be kept secret.

Uncle: "Then do you have the right to handle this knife?"

Naruto: "Of course, I snatched this knife back."

The uncle gritted his teeth: "Then just melt it."

Naruto: "I'm not going to find someone to replace me with."

Uncle: "Go and change it."

The two looked at each other and laughed.

With the decision made, the uncle started gearing up.

The technology he created was relatively average. Although he had fantasized about removing top-notch materials like living steel with his own hands, he never expected to have access to it so early.

Uncle: "Let's talk about whether you can continue to entrust me to make swords after the materials are extracted. I don't need to charge you."

Naruto: "Ah"

Naruto was a little surprised that he didn't charge money. The uncle thought that Naruto was unwilling to let him build it, so he immediately continued to increase the price.

Uncle: "Don't worry, although my casting skills are a bit poor, I will never insult this top-quality material, because my father is a veritable casting master. He left me a lot of valuable information. I I can make a sword for you according to his method."

"At the same time, if you have any special conditions, I can meet them. If you need to add materials to the casting, if it is a small amount, I will be willing to pay for it. If it is too much, I will also be willing to pay 50."

It can still be like this

How could Naruto understand the desire of a person who was obsessed with casting.

Seeing that there was such a good thing, he agreed: "After that, I won't be bothered by the sword-making business anymore."

Uncle: "The boy is good to my taste."

"Come, follow me. I've just been itching these past few days, so I set up the furnace again. Now I can smelt directly."

Naruto: "I can also watch it live"

The uncle laughed: "Silly boy, how can I not be present for such a big event as refining live steel?"

So the two closed the shop and left one after another.

Go straight to the edge of Konoha, a sparsely populated area.

From a distance, you can see the heat rising from the large forging iron furnace.

There is a rare stone house next to it.

The uncle was obviously in a good mood today. While preparing for the sword fusion, he explained: "This sword fusion and extraction of materials are also very particular."

"If you don't know what kind of metal material is contained in the sword, it will be a very troublesome thing. You have to knock it, listen for the sound, and other various tests to identify it."

"But since this is a famous sword, we can trace it back to its source and start directly from the existing information."

Naruto: "Already have information"

Uncle: "The more famous a forger is, the easier it is to understand the artifacts he forges, because forgers from all over the country will come here to taste the artifact, and it is inferred that the material is one of them."

"In addition, after everyone has made inferences and written down the evidence, the master, as an elder, will make comments and publish the materials. This is also called discussion."

Naruto nodded: "Oh, that is to say, the more powerful the forger is, the more he has to pretend to be a calf, and then this sword will have no secrets."

Uncle: "Pfft"

The uncle squirted.
