I will use the ninja world to aid my cultivation of immortality.

This also included the establishment of the Ninja Academy.

With the wolf's earth-escape technique, the ninja academy, large enough to accommodate thousands of people, completed its basic construction in just a few days.

After the Ninja Academy was established, Xia Rixing and Yu immediately devoted themselves to teaching.

Among them, Xia Rixing selected a group of Chunin from the existing Star Ninjas of Star Ninja Village to serve as teachers, responsible for teaching the "Peacock Technique".

As for Yu, although she was alone, Naraku did not really put all the pressure on her. He also arranged for some shadow clones to assist her in teaching other skills such as ninjutsu, taijutsu, and genjutsu.

"We've only been gone a few days, and the village has already changed so much!"

"Where did these people come from? How come there are so many more people in the village all of a sudden?"

"Did Lord Naraku bring all of this? That's amazing!"

"."

The Third Hokage and his accompanying Hokage, who had returned weary from their journey, stared in disbelief at the village that was both familiar and strange before them.

Newly built houses can be seen everywhere.

Busy workers and villagers constantly come and go on the road.

If they hadn't passed through the iconic miasma canyon earlier, they would have thought they were in the wrong place.

Once they confirmed that the place in front of them was indeed their own village, the Star Ninja couldn't help but get excited.

No one wants their hometown to not develop.

The tremendous changes that have taken place in Xingren Village today undoubtedly prove that it is like an awakening baby, developing rapidly.

Tomorrow we'll be starting our first trial recommendation. The editor said it's very important to keep reading, so I hope you guys can help us read it as much as possible!

Chapter 41 Star Shadow Tower

The Third Hoshikage was also very excited.

He took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and immediately instructed the Star Ninja behind him, "Alright, dismiss now, you can all go home!"

As the Star Ninja eagerly returned home, wanting to learn more about the village's development, the Third Star Kage also rushed to the Star Kage Tower.

However, he was surprised when he arrived at the Star Shadow Building.

The original Xingying Tower, though called a tower, was actually just a slightly better-looking building.

But now.

Standing before the Third Hoshikage was a towering nine-story tower.

Its scale is immeasurably larger than that of the original Star Shadow Tower.

If it weren't for the "Star" character representing Star Shadow Tower on the tower's exterior wall, even the three generations of Star Shadows wouldn't have been sure this was Star Shadow Tower.

With a mix of shock and anticipation, the three generations of Star Shadows stepped into the brand-new Star Shadow Building.

The first floor of the Star Shadow Building was a spacious hall.

To be precise, it is used as a mission lobby.

Although busy workers could still be seen carrying out the remaining renovations in the mission hall on the first floor, even the parts that had already been renovated made the Third Hokage feel what solemnity and grandeur meant.

"Lord Star Shadow?"

At this moment, a Star Ninja who was supervising the workers discovered the arrival of the Third Star Kage.

Surprised, they quickly went to greet him.

Upon seeing an acquaintance, the third-generation Star Shadow couldn't wait to inquire about the current situation of Star Shadow Tower and even the village.

Xingren naturally wouldn't hide it.

They immediately began to introduce the village's recent developments.

"Lord Hoshikage, the village is developing so fast these days. You don't even know, Lord Naraku has also established a ninja academy. The first batch of students alone has three hundred people."

And it's said that this is just the beginning; more people will join the village later. Many of us are discussing that our village might one day rival the Five Great Ninja Villages.

The Star Ninja, who was introducing the village to the Third Hokage, became more and more excited as he spoke, showing that the people in the village were very happy with the development of the Star Ninja Village.

The Third Hoshikage was also very happy.

However, he did not forget the important matter.

After getting a general understanding of the village's development, he immediately headed towards the eighth floor.

The eighth floor of the Star Shadow Building is Naraku's office.

Upon learning of the Third Hokage's return through the communication of the Star Ninja guarding the eighth floor, Naraku immediately met with him.

"Lord Naraku, I have successfully brought back all the items on the list, fulfilling my mission!"

Upon meeting, the Third Hoshikage dared not be negligent and immediately took out several sealing scrolls.

"You must be exhausted after being away for so many days. Go and get some rest!" Naraku took the scroll, satisfied that the Third Hoshikage had completed the mission.

"It's no trouble at all. Compared to the development you've brought to the village, what I've done is utterly insignificant," the Third Hoshikage said sincerely.

Having witnessed the village's development, he no longer harbors any resentment towards Naraku for taking over the village, and has begun to truly acknowledge Naraku as the village's new leader.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, the Third Hoshikage finally left.

After the other party left, Naraku took the scroll and headed to the ninth floor of the Star Shadow Tower.

The new Star Shadow Building has a specific layout for each floor.

For example, the first floor is a task hall used to assign tasks.

The eighth floor is Naraku's office where he handles official business.

As for the ninth floor they are now on, this is the training room that Naraku prepared for himself.

However, Naraku wasn't heading to the ninth floor for cultivation; rather, with the materials in hand, he was eager to begin attempting weapon crafting.

Come to the ninth floor.

This floor doesn't have much decoration or partitions; it's mostly open space.

There are no walls on any of the four sides; the roof is supported only by eight thick stone pillars.

When Naraku arrived at the ninth floor, there were already numerous shadow clones of true energy scattered throughout it.

On the day the Star Shadow Tower was completed, he had already gathered his True Qi Shadow Avatars, which were originally scheduled to cultivate in the wild, to the ninth floor of the Star Shadow Tower.

The true energy shadow clones were all used to constantly breathe in spiritual energy for Naraku, bringing about an improvement in his cultivation.

Naraku walked past the shadow clones of true energy to the open space in the center.

He took out the scroll handed over by the third generation of Star Shadows, opened it, and immediately various refining materials appeared from it.

Some are a certain kind of ore, some are a certain kind of wood, and some are even the bones of a certain kind of animal.

The names of the materials used for refining weapons recorded in the "Immortal Path Secret Manual" naturally differ from those of the resources in the ninja world.

However, Naraku had already made arrangements; the list he compiled for the Third Hokage included localized names for the materials.

After careful comparison, Naraku quickly confirmed that the Third Hoshikage had not purchased the wrong materials.

"Now we'll begin the actual weapon forging!"

Without hesitation, Naraku selected some of the materials, then formed a hand seal in front of him. In an instant, as the true energy in his dantian was mobilized and circulated, it actually condensed into a crimson flame in front of his hands.

The crimson flame did not feel scorching, and as it condensed, it was controlled by Naraku to fly forward into the air, where it slowly condensed into the shape of a cauldron.

The crimson flames are the fire of true energy, which Naraku evolved according to the weapon-forging method recorded in the "Secret Manual of Immortal Path".

Similarly, just as flames condense into the shape of an alchemical furnace.

The weapon-refining method recorded in the "Immortal Dao Secret Manual" is quite unique. It does not require a separate weapon-refining furnace, but can use the fire of true qi as a furnace.

The flames were not scorching hot, but when Naraku put the refining materials into the True Fire Furnace, they all melted rapidly.

Even though he had conducted countless studies and simulations beforehand, Naraku dared not be careless in the slightest during his first attempt at weapon forging.

High level of concentration.

After Naraku put the required materials into the True Fire Cauldron, he continuously formed hand seals in front of him, manipulating the true fire to fuse and refine the materials.

Click~!

After an unknown amount of time, suddenly, a cracking sound came from inside the True Fire Cauldron.

"It failed. Was the output of true qi fire too great?"

Upon noticing the anomaly, Naraku dispersed the True Fire Cauldron, and immediately, a distorted mass of matter fell from the sky to the floor.

Clearly, the first attempt at refining the weapon failed.

Although Naraku was disappointed by this, he knew that it was a perfectly normal thing.

After all, this was his first time refining a weapon, and even a so-called weapon-refining genius couldn't possibly succeed so easily on his first try.

After calming himself down, Naraku began to examine the failed attempts, analyzing the reasons for his failures. He then pondered the situation calmly before starting his second attempt at weapon forging.

Click!

The second attempt at refining the weapon also failed.
