In Konoha, you call this a ninja tool?

For this,

Tianyu also attaches great importance to this.

This is besides kunai (a type of ninja tool).

He created the first weapon that truly possessed full combat capabilities!

This will boost his combat effectiveness in the future.

It plays a crucial role!

Chapter 10 Kusanagi Sword

In Tianyu's mind,

The blueprints for the basic Kusanagi Sword have appeared.

[Beginner Kusanagi Sword:]

Forging difficulty: **

Materials needed: Morphite, Gold Sand, Ruby, Refined Star Steel, Heavenly Red Copper, Black Gold Stone

Skill: Randomly enhances 1-3 types of chakra attributes.

Another two-star forging blueprint!

When Tianyu was forging the blueprint for a two-star beginner storage ring last time, he learned something from the system.

All the weapons he forged, those of two stars or higher, possessed the ability to recognize their master.

After the forging was successful,

Simply smear your own blood on this weapon.

You can then sign a contract with the weapon and become its master.

Only the master who wields the weapon can unleash its true power.

Conversely, if these weapons fall into the hands of others, they are just ordinary objects.

This is the biggest difference between two-star weapons and regular weapons.

With such a contract in place,

Tianyu felt more confident.

In this way, even if he encounters a stronger opponent in battle and his weapon accidentally falls into the enemy's hands, he doesn't need to worry at all.

"The crafting process for this Kusanagi sword is truly complex."

Tianyu muttered to himself.

Although it is also a weapon of two-star difficulty level

However, forging this Kusanagi sword was more complex than forging the storage ring he had made last time.

Even the materials needed,

There are as many as six types.

Among them, minerals such as Tianchi copper and Wujin stone are quite expensive.

A mere 100 grams of this item was worth as much as 200,000 taels of silver, equivalent to the commission for a C-level mission in the village.

Tianyu searched through his family's shop and barely managed to gather all six types of minerals.

The combined value of these ores exceeds one million taels!

Tianyu felt somewhat ashamed.

It seems that being a blacksmith is quite an expensive profession!

Fortunately, the family was relatively well-off, so they could afford a million taels.

In the forging room,

What lies before Tianyu is...

There are three portions of ingredients in total.

In other words, Tianyu only has three chances to conduct the experiment.

If he fails to forge the Kusanagi Sword in these three attempts, the forging of the Kusanagi Sword will have to be temporarily put on hold until his parents return from the Land of Iron.

Tianyu closed his eyes.

He focused all his mental energy on the forging table in front of him.

After mentally reviewing the entire process of forging the Kusanagi sword once more,

He suddenly opened his eyes.

In the pitch-black pupils,

The reflection showed the ore before him, now glowing red from the flames.

He poured a large amount of his chakra into the hammer, gripped it tightly with both hands, and struck it again and again, the whole process being exceptionally steady.

Ding~

Ding ding~~

A continuous, rhythmic sound came one after another.

[Ding! Forging failed. Result: Ordinary Longsword]

[Ding! Forging failed. Result: Ordinary Longsword]

Another failure?

Tianyu frowned and stopped forging.

In both of his forging attempts, he encountered bottlenecks at crucial moments.

The most difficult part of forging the Kusanagi Sword lies in fusing the two ores, Heavenly Red Copper and Black Gold Stone.

They need to be controlled at different temperature levels, but they also need to be forged together to fuse the two ores.

But the previous two times

Each time Tianyu attempted to fuse these two scorching ores together,

These two minerals will react with each other.

It cracked into several pieces.

How could this be?

Why can't these two ores be successfully fused?

Tianyu tried hard to recall the many details of his forging process, resting his chin on his hand, and fell into deep thought.

Was there a problem with his previous understanding?

No, that shouldn't be the case.

Every step of the forging process he had done before

Everything was done according to the steps in the drawings, without any mistakes.

Is there a mistake in the drawings?

Tianyu quickly dismissed this idea as well.

Then,

Is this possible?

It was because he injected his chakra incorrectly that the two minerals repelled each other!

"I've got an idea!"

A sudden flash of inspiration struck Tianyu.

Or if you try this method yourself, you might be able to solve the problem you just encountered!

Tianyu looked at the last remaining forging material.

If I fail this time too, I won't be able to forge the basic Kusanagi Sword anytime soon.

but,

Hesitation is not in Tianyu's nature.

How can we verify whether his idea was correct if we don't try it?

Tianyu reappeared in his mind.

After reviewing the entire forging process and thought process,

My resolve grew stronger.

Let's begin!

He took a deep breath.

He swung the hammer again and began forging.

The same ores over and over again,

Tianyu continuously threw them onto the forging table.

Once fired to the right temperature, they begin to fuse together continuously.

Throughout the entire process, Tianyu's eyes remained calm and undisturbed.

Only the iron hammer in his hand continued to skillfully strike the ore in front of him.

In just two hours

Tianyu has already completed the fusion of the first four types of ores.

He took a deep breath.

We dare not relax our vigilance in the slightest.
