From the night of genocide, marching towards the strongest.

Third, the buildings of the Naga Shrine are engraved with special sealing techniques that can prevent many prying eyes from being seen. There is a reason why the Uchiha clan has repeatedly chosen this place to plot coups without worrying about being spied on.

Entering a room in a side hall of the shrine, Sasuke closed the door and windows and then tore open the scroll.

With a soft bang, a puff of white smoke disappeared, and an old woman wearing a yellow-orange coat and dark gray cat ear decorations appeared in the room.

"Grandma Cat?" Sasuke's face showed a hint of surprise, and he said softly, "You actually went to the trouble of coming here in person."

"It's just a shadow clone, little Sasuke." Granny Cat glanced casually at the surroundings before turning her gaze back to Sasuke.

"Little Sasuke, you've grown up so much, you're becoming more and more like a man." Granny Cat's eyes showed a hint of reminiscence as she sighed, "The last time I saw you and Itachi, you were still a clingy little child."

"You and Itachi used to be such lovable children, I never imagined you would turn out like this."

"Thank you for your concern," Sasuke replied calmly.

Granny Cat is not only the weapon customization point and intelligence source for the Uchiha clan, but she also acts as an agent for the private sale of Uchiha weapons and ninja tools. In fact, some of the Uchiha's weapons and property are still stored with Granny Cat.

While Granny Cat couldn't claim to know everything about the Uchiha clan massacre, she had more or less guessed the truth.

Seeing Sasuke's calm demeanor, Granny Cat sighed, "I've spoken out of turn. This is, after all, an internal matter for your Uchiha clan."

"I have already seen the thing you asked Tian Huo to bring me, and it is indeed a fire-attribute chakra crystal."

Grandma Cat was silent for a while before revealing the purpose of her visit.

“Chakra crystals of each attribute are extremely rare. Only a ninja who has mastered a single attribute ninjutsu to its highest level can condense such a crystal.”

Granny Cat didn't ask where Sasuke's fire chakra crystals came from. The Uchiha clan, a powerful family skilled in fire chakra, had produced too many fire chakra masters throughout history.

Sasuke nodded and asked, "Is it possible to ask you for a favor?"

Sasuke was talking about wanting to use that Fire Release chakra crystal to forge a weapon, because the crystal was somewhat useless to him and couldn't be used to assist in his training.

While it can indeed react with one's own Fire Release techniques, increasing their power, it might be even more effective if it were crafted into a weapon.

"Little Sasuke, do you know about the Thunder God's Sword?"

"Yes, the Thunder God Sword is said to be the personal sword used by the Second Hokage."

"This is actually a misconception. The Second Hokage never used the Thunder God Sword. However, the Thunder God Sword is indeed closely related to the Second Hokage." Granny Cat shook her head and continued, "The core of the Thunder God Sword is actually a crystal of lightning chakra. During the First Shinobi World War, the Cloud Ninja launched an invasion against Konoha, but they were defeated by the Second Hokage at the time, and the Cloud Ninja ended up with a crushing defeat."

"After the defeat, the Second Raikage wanted to cease hostilities and negotiate with Konoha. To express his sincerity, the Second Raikage presented the Second Hokage with a Lightning Release Chakra Crystal to invite Konoha to the Cloud Village for negotiations."

"Before the Second Hokage went to Kumogakure, he used this Lightning Release chakra crystal as the core and added chakra metal to forge a sword hilt. When the wielder infuses his own chakra, an incomparably sharp lightning sword will be generated from the hilt."

"This is the origin of Thor's sword."

"I see."

Sasuke nodded. Although he knew about the Thunder God Sword in both his past and present lives, he only understood its origin today.

"So, it's feasible to forge a weapon using Fire Release chakra crystals?"

"Not bad!"

"So, Granny Cat, how much will it cost to forge this weapon?"

Grandma Cat smiled kindly: "Little Sasuke, I won't take your money this time."

Why?

Upon hearing this, Sasuke raised an eyebrow.

Although the Uchiha clan and Granny Cat had a decades-long friendship, and Granny Cat had practically watched Sasuke grow up, both the Uchiha and Sasuke had to pay for their transactions with Granny Cat.

"Things have changed, and I never imagined the Uchiha clan would become like this." Granny Cat's eyes showed a look of reminiscence as she said with melancholy, "Although the Uchiha clan has declined, my decades-long friendship with the Uchiha clan remains. And Sasuke, I have high hopes for your future. I believe you can revive the Uchiha clan. I am also a businesswoman, so consider this my investment in you, little Sasuke."

Thank you.

After a moment of silence, Sasuke said in a deep voice.

He didn't make any promises because he wasn't in a position to make any at the moment, and Granny Cat didn't say what she wanted either, because that was something the two of them would discuss in the future.

The two were very much in sync on this point.

Grandma Cat smiled and continued, "Moreover, I am also quite itchy to forge a new elemental weapon. Chakra metal weapons are rare in the ninja world, and there are only a few elemental weapons in the history of the ninja world. To this day, there are only two weapons left that are both lightning elemental: the Thunder God Sword, which has disappeared, and the Thunder Blade Kiba, one of the Seven Ninja Swords of the Mist."

Upon hearing this, Sasuke's eyes showed a thoughtful expression, and he said, "Grandma Cat, then could we use fire-style chakra crystals as the core and obsidian as the weapon material? Could we forge a weapon with an attribute that surpasses the Thunder God Sword and the Thunder Fang?"

"What?" Granny Cat was stunned, her eyes widening. "You even have fire obsidian?"

Sasuke nodded somewhat awkwardly.

Grandma Cat snapped out of her daze, a hint of excitement flashing in her eyes, and said, "Then let's give it a try!"

Sigh, my grades are terrible. I haven't received a private message yet. I can only gamble on writing a 100,000-word application.

I hope everyone can give me some support lately, thank you!

Chapter 34 What I'm about to tell you, please don't be afraid.

That evening, Sasuke had just returned home after a day of training when he heard a rapid knocking on the door.

Sasuke frowned, opened the door, and sure enough, it was Naruto, who was panting heavily and looked shaken.

"what's up?"

"Come on, let's go inside and talk to you."

After sitting down, Naruto looked uneasy and said, "Sasuke, don't be afraid of what I'm about to tell you."

Sasuke raised an eyebrow and said, "Tell me, I won't be afraid."

"I saw a ghost today!"

Naruto looked like he was serious about it.

Sasuke leaned back slightly to make himself more comfortable: "Ghost is that guy's codename?"

“It’s not anyone’s code name!” Naruto shook his head and said seriously, “It’s that ninja who is known as the strongest taijutsu user in Konoha.”

"Matt Kai?"

"Who is Matt Kai? It's not him."

Naruto pondered for a moment, thinking about the description on the scroll.

"That's the Konoha hero who died in the Third Shinobi World War."

He died during the Third Shinobi World War?

Sasuke spoke up: "You mean Might Guy?"

Who is Matt Day?

Naruto quickly shook his head and exclaimed, "Sasuke, the strongest taijutsu ninja in Konoha, don't you know? It's that Mr. Chen who created the Konoha Dragon God, died in the Third Shinobi World War, and was hailed as a hero of Konoha!"

Konoha Dragon God?

Teacher Chen?

Why don't you just say Chen Baojun?

Sasuke mentally scoffed, then nodded: "I understand, please continue."

"Today I found a scroll in the library. It said that Teacher Chen, the Konoha Dragon God, was very skilled in taijutsu, but he died in the Third Shinobi World War. However, the scroll had the address of Teacher Chen's tombstone, so I decided to go to Teacher Chen's tombstone to take a look. Guess what I saw?"

At this point, Naruto's tone turned sinister, and he waved his hand excitedly.

"I actually saw Teacher Chen, who had come back from the dead!!!"

He even picked up a rice ball from in front of his own tombstone and started eating it!

Naruto's eyes widened, and he looked on with goosebumps.

..........

Sasuke was silent for a moment before speaking, "That's it?"

Naruto was taken aback, then shouted angrily, "You bastard Sasuke! I'm not kidding you!"

"Yes, yes, yes." Sasuke replied casually, "And how did you determine that he was Teacher Chen?"

"At first I thought the old man was just a freeloader. When he picked up the rice ball in front of Teacher Chen's tombstone, I kicked the rice ball out of his hand and onto the ground."

"and then?"

"Then, he just casually beat me up."

Naruto said with a dejected look.

"Using physical techniques?"

"Hmm, physical techniques!"

"Oh." Sasuke said with a look of sudden realization, "Since his taijutsu is so amazing, aren't you looking for a way to get stronger? Why don't you just ask him to teach you?"

“Oh, right!” Naruto was taken aback, then hesitated and whispered, “But, Sasuke, that old man might be a ghost. Teacher Chen died during the Third Shinobi World War.”

"As long as you can become stronger, who cares if he's a human or a ghost, or if he's Teacher Chen? Or are you just scared?"

"Hmph!" Naruto couldn't resist the provocation and immediately patted his chest, shouting, "I'm not scared! I'll go back there tomorrow and find out what's going on!"

"Okay." Sasuke nodded and asked, "Is there anything else?"

"What do you mean?"

"If there's nothing else, you can leave now."

"........."

————————————————————

The next day, somewhere in the mountains behind Konoha Village.

March is the time of spring, and spring is absolutely a painting full of the vitality of life!

From afar, there is a row of willow trees. The willows are not tall, but each one is graceful and elegant. The long and narrow willow leaves are like a young girl's hair, softly draped down, as if a green-haired girl is dressing up. Around the willows are bright green red flowers and grasses, showing a thousand kinds of gentle and beautiful postures.

Sasuke, standing in the center of the willow tree, was carving a short sword made of chakra metal on a rock about half his height. The short sword danced almost like a phantom, with streaks of electricity flashing and coiling around its blade, its extremely strong penetrating power concentrated within.

Wherever the lightning blade passed, the stone was as if it had encountered a laser cutting machine. The scraps and waste from the edges and corners were constantly thrown away, and every cut was smooth and flat.

Lightning Release Carving Technique!

Gradually, the stone carving embryo began to take shape, resembling a human figure.
