Konoha: Unable to learn ninjutsu, they had to develop their own.

Kazusa was very touched.

She knew immediately that this knife was tailor-made for her—

After incorporating the characteristics of Fang Li Dark Blade, it can be both offensive and defensive, and is very suitable for her, who is inclined towards assassination and killing.

Kazusa was captivated by it and really wanted to try it out on the spot, but she had to leave for her mission now...

"Let's give it a try, we're not in a rush anyway."

Kakashi said, "I still have some say in the matter of short swords."

"Yes."

Kazusa excitedly began the experiment.

She tried using Lightning Release to enhance her power. What was difficult to control before, she could do easily now, and the power was just as strong.

The key is.

It can be well concealed within the sleeves, and enemies will not be able to spot it unless they look closely.

Kakashi gave her a few pointers and corrected some of her movements.

Chiba then offered a suggestion—

A swordsman like Kazusa can wield two swords as easily as if they were an extension of her own arm.

In that case, we can use a regular knife normally, and only use this knife in critical moments.

Like fangs in the dark, it only unleashes its deadly attack when most needed.

Thus, its name was born.

The name of the knife is Dark Fang.

……

"Kakashi, Jonin, I'm counting on you."

"It's nothing. We just happen to be going to Kirigakure to exchange technologies."

Kakashi nodded.

This water spirit is very young!

He was a little surprised.

I had heard of Mei Terumi before, but I never imagined she would actually look like this.

After exchanging pleasantries and becoming somewhat acquainted, Genma Shiranui and the others had already prepared the Flying Thunder Formation technique.

The Flying Thunder Array also requires coordinate techniques.

The Hidden Leaf Village's Anbu has control over several points, including three along the eastern coast: the northeastern area near Kumogakure, the central line, and the southeastern border.

Not a moment later.

Everyone was sent to the border one by one.

Mei Terumi quickly determined her current location by using her senses to survey her surroundings.

"Lord Mizukage, this is one of our patrol outposts. The Land of Waves lies just outside. Since our two villages have reached a deal, we can take you to retrieve Zabuza's sword."

Chiba explained with a smile.

Mei Terumi gave Chiba and Kakashi a deep look, then nodded, signaling them to lead the way.

Kakashi was unaware that Chiba had returned the Executioner's Blade beforehand, but he trusted Chiba's meticulousness, so upon hearing this, he immediately led the way to the place where Zabuza and the others had buried it.

They were not buried in the Land of Waves, but on a hill on the border of the Land of Fire.

Mei Terumi could see the guillotine stuck in the ground from afar.

Upon reaching the grave, she touched the executioner's blade.

A few seconds passed.

Who's next to him?

"Haku, a child of the Yuki clan, was killed by me while protecting Zabuza."

Kakashi said.

Mei Terumi was silent for a few seconds, then sighed softly, "The Yuki clan, what a pity."

"Mizukage-sama."

Chojuro stepped forward and laboriously pulled out the sword. "This sword..."

"Seal it away."

"Yes!"

Chojuro took out a scroll and sealed the Executioner's Blade.

Mei Terumi looked at the guards.

“Let’s take them back to Kirigakure. Although Zabuza was a rogue ninja, the reason for his betrayal was the rule of the Blood Mist. Once a person dies, their grudges are forgotten, and there’s no need to pursue the matter further.”

"Yes!"

The group quickly sprang into action.

Chiba led Tenten and Kazusa aside and used telepathy to communicate with them.

“We traded the decapitation sword for the technology and the opportunity to observe five other swords. Tian Tian, ​​you must seize this opportunity.”

"!!"

I stare wide-eyed every day.

Hidden Mist Village...

Would you be willing to exchange the technology of five knives with them?

Great!

She was so excited.

After studying the Executioner's Blade, she had always wanted to see the other six swords. She thought there was no chance, but unexpectedly, Chiba remembered and even helped her get the opportunity.

Kazusa touched Dark Fang.

Dark Fang is also great!

but.

If it had been later, the technology might have been more mature.

Those are the seven most powerful swords in Kirigakure!

Few people knew the specifics of the transaction between the two villages. On the way back, the guard ninjas from Kirigakure were all a little curious, but they didn't dare to ask.

Chiba closed his eyes and meditated, spreading his senses to monitor the surrounding situation and avoid encountering any more White Zetsu on the way.

When passing through the Land of Waves.

Kakashi sighed.

The last time I came to the Land of Waves was with Naruto and the others.

So much time has passed in the blink of an eye.

Chapter 291 Obito: Aren't you here to save people?

"Kakashi Jonin seems quite wistful. It seems you have some memorable experiences in the Land of Waves."

Mei Terumi smiled slightly.

Kakashi pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "That's right. Back then, we escorted a bridge-building expert back to the Land of Waves and protected him while he was building the bridge. That bridge was built during that time."

He pointed to the bridge in the distance.

This is a bridge that spans the sea between the Land of Waves and the Land of Fire.

"It's a masterpiece, and the person who created it is amazing."

Terumi Mei smiled.

but.

Chiba knew very well that Terumi Mei was not happy at all.

This bridge is very important to the Land of Fire, as it connects the Land of Fire and the Land of Waves, making the ties between the two countries even stronger.

but.

not to mention.

however.

"Don't worry, all four of us know this technique. As long as they enter a certain range, we can detect them. So, it would be best if we could go directly to Kirigakure."

"of course not."

inside the house.

Mei Terumi couldn't intervene.

After a moment, a figure quietly entered from outside.

Mei Terumi has arrived.

Both sides arrived at their respective residences.

"You've done a lot of research on those people, do you have a way to detect their location?"

"No need, let's go straight back."

He mentioned before that Tenten also knows space-time ninjutsu.

"Let's discuss this. What's the plan? Shall we take a boat back to Kirigakure?"

She sighed inwardly.
