The Shadow of Konoha

After seeing the speed increase brought by Hanyu's Lightning Release, the few spectators present naturally realized the power of this technique, so they began to spontaneously applaud Hanyu's invention... Although it was well-intentioned, it was still a bit ironic.

You have to know that what Hanyu is doing now is not a performance. He is developing a technique that allows a ninja to kill people more efficiently.

"Well done, Hanyu. I didn't expect you to develop such a powerful Lightning Release Ninjutsu in such a short time." Koga did not hide his praise for Hanyu. This jutsu was born right under his nose, and because of this, he felt even more shocked.

"This is just a special ninjutsu developed based on my original peculiarities...and, thanks to the notes you gave me before, I was able to find the idea so quickly." Hanyu said earnestly. Although he was happy that this technique was successful, Hanyu did not think that what he had done was exaggerated. Besides, was it really a short time that he took to develop this technique?

They feel it is short because the group of people in front of them have no idea how much time it takes for someone to learn the magic.

Koga shook his head. He didn't want to take credit for it. The information he showed Hanyu before was just some very basic stuff. Countless people have seen that stuff. But why didn't other people develop this level of ninjutsu after reading the information? In the final analysis, it still depends on one's own ideas and efforts.

"It's a very powerful Lightning Release. If you practice more, I believe it will become a very handy weapon." Sakumo followed.

Since he has been a ninja for only a short time, Hanyu's physical skills are not very sophisticated. However, now that he has acquired top-notch speed, as long as he can improve his limb coordination and reflexes, he will immediately join the ranks of elite ninjas.

From the beginning when he could only get beaten until now, Sakumo had to admit that Hanyu would soon (or even had already) surpass him. He secretly motivated himself to work harder next time... Well, after lunch today, he must increase his training volume.

Hanyu nodded. Sakumo's point was very pertinent. Although his speed problem had been solved, due to his limited experience, Hanyu's movements in battle were still a bit too simple. This was a problem that could only be solved through training and continuous fighting.

but...

Hanyu held down Hatake's shoulder with one hand, and with the other hand he stretched out his thumb to wipe the tip of his nose, then said, "But you are wrong about one thing, Sakumo. My real strength is not lightning jutsu, but water jutsu. Water jutsu is the strongest, so... Be water, my friend."

Having an ability is one thing, and being able to use it skillfully is another. The two are incomparable. If Hanyu wants to exert his maximum combat power, of course he must intensify his training... You know, there was once a ninja who suddenly became very fast, but because he couldn't control his speed for a moment, he stepped into the wall and sprained his ankle; there was also a warrior who learned to transform, but because he couldn't grasp his own powerful strength for a moment, he beat his wife on the spot.

These are all lessons from the past, and Hanyu has to learn from them.

In any case, the successful development of the new ninjutsu made Hanyu happy. No, it should be said that he was more than happy.

At this time, he even understood those ninjas who were keen on developing forbidden techniques, such as the second generation Hokage or Orochimaru. The reason for their enthusiasm was not only because of the sense of accomplishment and excitement brought by the successful development of ninjutsu, but also because when a new ninjutsu can greatly improve a ninja's ability, it can even make people feel that their life level is leaping forward.

So that kind of person becomes more and more itchy and the deeper he falls.

At the same time, Hanyu suddenly understood why he did not hate war. The reason was simple, because it was "new". War was something he had never experienced in his previous and next lives, so going to the battlefield was a new experience for him. It was precisely because of this "newness" that Hanyu was able to get rid of the various influences imposed on him by his previous life, and made him realize that he was indeed a young man.

Therefore, after arriving at the front line of Konoha, he became more lively and energetic. As the war continued, perhaps this feeling would gradually fade away, but at least now, the war was bringing a positive change to his mentality.

After completing the ninjutsu test, everyone returned to Konoha's camp from the lake. Without discussing their own thoughts, Hanyu knew that he had to leave the frontline hospital, after all, he had no reason to stay any longer.

After entering the Konoha camp, the few people separated, but Hanyu did not return to the front-line hospital to pack his things and prepare to be discharged... He first went to the logistics equipment department of the Konoha front line to find some more suitable weapons.

Putting aside his previous training and practice in Konoha, when he actually arrived on the battlefield, Hanyu found that he really could not get used to weapons like kunai.

The ninja's flexible movements and close-range combat characteristics determine that they tend to use short and sharp weapons. However, a weapon like a kunai has a blade but no guard, which is fine for attacking and stabbing, but if used for blocking or defense, the enemy's weapon may slide down the edge of the kunai and cut off your fingers if you are not careful.

And the four-sided cone-shaped design of the kunai, although it has good strength and will create a diamond-shaped wound on the enemy once it hits, generally speaking, that shape lacks penetration ability compared to flat blades.

So Hanyu came to the logistics department and put forward his request to the ninja who was in charge of weapons and props.

"I understand what you mean. In that case, how about daggers? Can they be used together?" As he said that, the ninja placed several daggers of different lengths on a table.

Hanyu picked and chose, then picked up a short sword that looked to be about 45 centimeters long. After weighing it, he nodded with satisfaction.

"I want two short swords of this shape, and... do they have sheaths? Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll cut myself." Hanyu said. The weapons he could get from here were of course the most common mass-produced standard weapons, but as long as they were suitable, that would be fine... Although they were all mass-produced products, Konoha would never have any major problems with the quality control of weapons.

The ninja glanced at Hanyu and thought to himself, "Do you know how much production cost and production time will be increased if each dagger is equipped with a sheath?" Fortunately, he saw that Hanyu was just a young ninja, so he did not reject him directly.

After searching for a long time, the ninja finally found two matching scabbards.

Hanyu inserted the dagger into the scabbard. He found that the blade was tightly stuck by the spring at the throat of the scabbard. Even if it was turned upside down, it would not fall off. So he hung one of the daggers horizontally around his waist, and the other one diagonally behind his back with the hilt facing down. The hilt of the dagger diagonally across his back just extended from his armpit to the ribs on his side.

In this way, he could draw out two swords with both hands in an instant.

"Then...are there any weapons of the same length as the kunai? A dagger will also do." Then, Hanyu made a second request to the other party.

He was dissatisfied with the piercing ability of kunai, but that didn't mean he didn't need a weapon of this length. In some cases, the length of the short sword was still a bit too long, so Hanyu also needed a weapon of kunai level but not kunai.

Similar to a dagger.

But now the logistics ninja finally got a little impatient... Do you know how much the production cost of a kunai is, how much the production cost of a dagger is, and how big the difference is between them, given that both are large-scale consumables? Do you understand cost control?

However, Hanyu's young appearance played a deceptive role again, and the ninja did not roar at him after all.

"Wait."

He said this, and then turned back to the tent behind him, and then there was a tinkling sound from inside. When he appeared again, half an hour had passed.

"Here you go. It meets your requirements exactly. It's a similar length to a kunai and has good piercing ability, but it's not a kunai." He placed ten new weapons in front of Hanyu, looking as if he would kill you if you dared to refuse them.

Hanyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but under the pressure from the other party, he finally accepted the things... Yes, the things the other party took out completely met his requirements, however, those weapons were nothing more than four-edged kunai that were smashed into double-edged blades.

No wonder the other party was able to transform it on the spot. To put it bluntly, this thing is still a kunai.

Seeing the other party's attitude, Hanyu knew that he could not continue to pester him, and he had almost got what he wanted here, so he expressed his gratitude to the ninja and turned away.

Everything is moving in a better direction, isn't it?

Yeah?
