MM Racing Chapter 75 Chakra Blade, The Secret of Takumi Village
Chapter 75 Chakra Blade, The Secret of Takumi Village
"Damn it, my 100,000 taels of silver!" As Ishikawa walked out of the weapon shop, he still felt a pang of heartache looking at the chakra blade in his hand.
If it weren't for time and financial constraints, he definitely wouldn't have bought this chakra knife.
That bastard craftsman is charging 100,000 ryo for a kunai made from metal with roughly the same amount of chakra, and he has to wait a month.
To increase the chakra metal ratio, the cost would range from two hundred thousand to one million taels, and they even claim it's already a discounted price...
Damn it, why doesn't he just rob it!
“However, there’s a reason why it’s expensive. With the Chakra Blade, I can now convert chakra into electronic properties…” After a short while, Ishikawa suddenly exhaled a breath of turbid air, and the Chakra Blade in his hand flickered with subtle electric currents.
Although this electron was so weak that it was almost imperceptible and had no offensive power, it was Ishikawa's breakthrough from zero to one!
This is what led him to decide to buy the Chakra Blade. Compared to his own strength, Ishikawa naturally wouldn't hesitate to spend money to accelerate his training.
Moreover, this chakra blade is not just for training; it can also be a great aid in the future if you encounter a Sand Village puppeteer or as a weapon to amplify your power.
"Then, I'll use the remaining money to buy some commonly used ninja tools!" With a sigh, Ishikawa turned around immediately, thinking of the weapons wholesale shop he had just passed.
With Ishikawa and his client busy with their own things, two days passed quickly.
In the past two days, Ishikawa has squandered all his money, leaving only 1,000 ryo for living expenses, and used the rest to buy ninja tools and weapons.
Under his influence, Tarojiro followed a similar path, squandering most of his savings of over ten thousand yen on weapons.
In this way, not to mention the twenty-odd truckloads of supplies from the client, the weapons of Ishikawa and his two companions alone filled an entire oxcart.
This made the client look at Ishikawa and his two companions with new respect; if they were to be transported back to Konoha, the profits would at least double.
"You three are really troublesome, actually taking advantage of the situation to do something like this!" At the dock of the Land of Craftsmen, Kakashi looked at the three of them and was speechless.
We entrusted you with protecting our client, and instead you colluded to buy weapons and hitchhike on our client's shipping convoy?!
If it weren't for the fact that he was a Jonin of Konoha, how could the other party have agreed so easily!
"Hehehe, the weapons here are just too cheap, I couldn't resist, I just couldn't resist." Ishikawa scratched his head and chuckled, making Kakashi sigh and purse his lips.
"Alright, that's settled then! You guys stay here to protect the supplies and Mr. Choji, I'm going out for some fresh air..." Kakashi waved helplessly, nodded to his client, and walked out of the dock.
He's been cooped up here guarding the supplies for the past two days, he's really getting restless!
Ishikawa and his two companions, along with the client, had no objections. In any case, they needed to hand over the goods for loading onto the ship, and it would probably be dark by the time they were done before they could set off.
[By the way, I remember there's a storyline in Takumi Village where they resurrected the progenitor, Seimei. Those four minor ninja tools I can't name were really powerful! Since we're already here, should we go and get some??]
Bored as he watched the cargo ship, Ishikawa suddenly slapped his forehead and had an idea, eager to try it out.
Although he might have to kneel down against any of those four minor characters, the allure of those four ninja tools was undeniable.
Although he couldn't remember the extra's name, those four ninja tools were quite good equipment for chunin and jonin levels.
This is especially suitable for a supporting cast like them who lack bloodline limits and have limited chakra!
[Never mind, I'll give it a try first.] After hesitating for a long time, Ishikawa still couldn't ignore the excitement in his heart and gritted his teeth to think to himself.
"Taro and Jiro, I'm leaving this to you two. I'm going to rest in the cabin." With that, Ishikawa quickly turned back to the cabin.
Less than a minute later, a stray cat darted out of the cabin window and ran towards Takumi-nin Village.
[According to the storyline, those four minor characters completed their preparations approximately two years later, using the power of Shukaku to revive Seimei, the founder of the Craftsman Village.]
Therefore, even if those four guys aren't in Takumi Ninja Village, the people there definitely know about them.
Even if we're unlucky and don't find those four extras and get their ninja tools, the corpse of the progenitor, Seimei, will definitely still be there.
[Ninja tools are important, but Seimei's secret technique of reviving using tailed beasts is also incredibly overpowered. Perhaps I should try being a grave robber like Orochimaru today!]
As Ishikawa swiftly traversed the depths of the crisscrossing forest, he embodied the wild cat and ran, thinking to himself.
That's a secret technique that can revive the dead; it's impossible for Ishikawa not to be tempted.
Soon, Ishikawa arrived at Takumi Village half an hour later after a rapid sprint.
Taking advantage of his possession of a wildcat, Ishikawa swaggered into Takumi Village and leaped across the rooftops!
With no leads whatsoever, Ishikawa had no choice but to conduct a thorough, exhaustive search for information.
In less than ten minutes, Ishikawa found the tomb of the ancestor enshrined by Takumi-nin Village.
After pinpointing the location of Qingming's body, Ishikawa didn't linger and immediately ran towards the village's luxurious mansion to search for clues about the four people.
It's called a luxurious mansion, but it's really just a little better and bigger than the houses of other ordinary villagers.
Upon arriving at the mansion's gate, Ishikawa's cat-like eyes were involuntarily drawn to the stone carvings on the wall.
[Azure Dragon, Vermilion Bird, White Tiger, Black Tortoise, you're all just extras, what kind of class do you have to dare use the Four Symbols to ward off evil spirits!] Ishikawa muttered to himself, then silently slipped into the mansion.
"I heard that a big merchant came from Konoha to purchase weapons these past two days, and there are Konoha ninjas guarding the transport."
"Hmph, those profits should have been earned by our Land of Craftsmen, but now they've been given away to Konoha's merchants for nothing."
"There's nothing we can do about it. We're isolated and sanctioned by the five major powers, so we can only buy and sell weapons according to their demands."
"Those despicable five great nations! One day, our Craftsmen's Kingdom will break their sanctions and restore normal trade order. I believe that day is not far off..."
"Oh? You seem so certain. Could it be that Lord Treasure Demon and the others have made progress in forging the progenitor ninja weapon?"
"Hehehe! I heard from Lord Shuihu and the others that the Peacock Flying Twin Swords and the Dragon Eye Fang Dark Blade have been completed. The Infinite Hole Armor and the Lightsaber are not yet finished, but they will definitely be completed within one or two years."
"So, under the leadership of the Four Celestial Elephant Lords, we will soon be able to restore the dignity and glory of the Craftsman's Kingdom? That's wonderful! I can't wait to see that day!"
"I'm also looking forward to this day, but there's one thing we absolutely mustn't let the five great nations discover our plans beforehand. Huo Li, you shouldn't have said these things today..."
"Don't worry, what you're worried about is simply impossible! To keep it a secret, Lord Suiko and the others left the Land of Craftsmen a few years ago to forge the progenitor ninja tools elsewhere. Even I don't know their whereabouts. If Lord Suiko hadn't come back a month ago to get the forging materials, I wouldn't know these details either."
"I see, it seems the light of day will soon descend upon our Takumi Ninja Village! Hahaha..."
[The Four Celestials? Peacock Flying Twin Swords, Dragon Eye Fang Dark Blade, Infinite Hole Armor, Light Sword—are these the names and ninja tools of those four? Too bad they're not in the village, what bad luck!]
Ishikawa's eyes flickered, he sighed inwardly, and without hesitation, he dispelled the spell, transforming into a ray of light that streaked across the sky...
