Naruto: Konoha’s Kanpu - Chapter 176: Start Taking Action

Chapter 176: Start Taking Action

“It’s finished.”

In the craftsman’s workshop, after the young craftsman Shinobi completed the last quenching process, he finally completed Kanpū’s sword.

“If there is no problem, sign here!”

The young craftsman Shinobi handed the sword to Kanpū, and then took out the commission scroll.

Receiving the sword, Kanpū looked at it carefully.

The length of the sword is 70 centimeters, one finger wide, and its whole body is blue, with a layer of snow pattern on it, which made it look extremely gorgeous. Kanpū gently stroked both sides of the blade, and he felt a slight tingling can be felt on his finger.

‘It’s very sharp!’

Kanpū then injected his Chakra into it and felt it carefully, it is just enough to transmit 50% of his poured Chakra.

Then Kanpū looked towards the hilt.

The hilt is twenty centimeters long, and its whole body is straight and thin. It feels very comfortable to hold, and there is no handguard between the hilt and the sword body, ‘If the sword body is put into the scabbard…’

Kanpū picked up the scabbard next to it, and sheathe the sword into the scabbard. Suddenly, the whole sword is like a flat bamboo strip as wide as one finger!

Except for the 50% Chakra transmission, Kanpū is very satisfied with this sword!

He fondly stroked the scabbard and pulled out the blade from time to time. Looking at the snow pattern on it, his eyes almost became heart-shaped.

“Hey, don’t waste my time!”

The young craftsman Shinobi was very dissatisfied, and he did not feel the slightest gratification or pride because Kanpū liked the sword he made.

It was as if he had just built a hoe.

The truth is actually similar. Although this craftsman Shinobi is young, it can be seen how great his craftsmanship is by just looking at the more than fifty sword blades on the wall!

Kanpū suppressed the joy in his heart and signed his name on the commission scroll.

“Okay, you can go now!”

The young craftsman Shinobi took the scroll and sent off Kanpū directly.

Kanpū sneered in his heart. He didn’t bother to stay here anymore, and said, “Then, I will leave.”

Kanpū turned around and left immediately.

After turning for a few times, Kanpū reached an alley tens of meters away from the workshop.

This alley is very remote, and it was discovered when Kanpū’s shadow clone searched for the hiding spot.

When he got here, Kanpū first used his Sensor Ninjutsu to check the surroundings, and only after making sure that there are no Shinobi nearby that he activated the Transparent Release. Then, he formed the clone seal to create shadow clone, and then hand him the sealing scroll in his pocket, while saying seriously: “Start after it’s dark, and leave immediately after you are done! Then hide the things!”

“Hmph!”

The shadow clone took the scroll with disdain, and said angrily, “I have never seen such a shameless person that would use a shadow clone like me to steal!”

Kanpū gritted the teeth and said: “If you complain again, I will make you dig manure!”

The shadow clone didn’t speak any more, and after stuffing the scroll into his pocket, he directly uses Transparent Release, and accompanied by waves of invisible ripples, the shadow clone completely disappeared from in front of Kanpū.

After that, Kanpū held his new sword and returned to the inn with great joy.

In the inn, Shikuro, Shisui, and Yui are all present.

“I’m back!”

Kanpū came with a sword in his arms, and showed a cold expression, as if he was a master swordsman that come back from his long journey.

“Kanpū, let me see your sword!”

Shisui’s eyes lit up, and he asked with his hand reached out.

Kanpū’s stern face twitched slightly: ‘Why didn’t he care about my cold expression?’

“This sword is called… Moonlight!” (T/N: Moonlight is Gekkō in Japanese.)

Kanpū gave his sword a resounding, beautiful and meaningful name in one thousandth of a second.

“Moonlight?”

Shisui smiled, “You even named it after your own clan. It seems that you are very satisfied with your sword.”

‘Why didn’t you feel awe from my cool performance!’

Kanpū glared at Shisui, ‘If you continue to talk like that, I will end my relationship with you!’

Dumbly, he handed over the sword in his arms to Shisui. Shisui immediately pulled out the sword, and then tried to slash twice, then he frowned and said: “Kanpū, your Moonlight is so thin, and it feels easy to break. It’s not suitable for fighting.”

Kanpū smiled and said: “Don’t worry, Moonlight is made of fine iron. Although it is thin, it is very tough, and the focus of this sword is not for slashing, but for stabbing.”

When Shisui heard this, he focused his attention on the tip of the sword.

Sure enough, the tips of other Katana are curved, suitable for slashing, but not suitable for stabbing people, while the tip of Kanpū’s Moonlight is exactly the same as that of the Chinese sword, and the tip is straight and sharp! (T/N: Why the hell would you make Chinese sword with Japanese Sword’s style!)

Shisui gently pressed the tip of the sword with his fingertips, and a drop of blood suddenly overflowed!

“So sharp!” Shisui exclaimed.

“Kanpū, Kikuchi-dono said you spent 600,000 ryō to make this sword?” Shikuro said from the side, “Although this kind of sword is rare, it’s not that there are no swords with similar styles in the Ninja Tool shop outside. There, you can buy it for as little as 300,000 ryō.”

Kanpū showed a shy smile: “Then I incur losses.”

“…”

Shikuro has an expressionless face: ‘Could it be that what I said back then is true?’

“Well, then what have you learned from the craftsman for the past few days?” Shikuro asked with a calm face.

Kanpū shook his head: “I can’t understand it at all.”

‘Then you spend an extra 300,000 ryō for fart?!’

Shikuro felt very tired at this moment.

He thought that Kanpū was a chicken thief who wanted to steal the craftsman’s technology, and he even had encouraged him, but he didn’t expect that in the end, this is the result!

Shikuro didn’t want to speak anymore.

“By the way, has Kikuchi-san’s Ninja Tool finished?” Kanpū quickly changed the subject when he saw that Shikuro was in a bad mood.

“It will be settled this afternoon.” Shisui said, “Kikuchi-san asked us to prepare, and when the settlement is completed, we will go straight back to the village.”

Kanpū nodded, ‘This is really great!’

‘As soon as we left in the afternoon, if something happened in the Craftsmen Shinobi Village at night, I will be able to clean up the suspicion perfectly!’

Time passed, and at about four o’clock in the afternoon, Kikuchi came back with beaming face. Seeing Kanpū and the others, he immediately said with a smile: “Everyone, I have completed the settlement. If everyone is ready, we will set off immediately!”

Shikuro nodded and said: “Let’s go then.”

Kanpū and the others have just finished packing their luggage, so they can set off immediately.

Leaving the Craftsmen Shinobi Village, Kanpū looked back and his heart was slightly surging: ‘I hope everything goes well!’

…

Craftsman Ninja Village, inside the young craftsman Shinobi’s workshop.

After sending Kanpū away, the young craftsman Shinobi went to the mission hall to hand in the commission scroll, and successfully received a generous commission fee. After that, he took another order from Kumogakure’s Shinobi, and he stayed in the craftsman’s workshop for half a day to model!

He doesn’t know if it is an illusion, but when modeling, the young craftsman Shinobi always felt that something was weird, and there seemed to be a faint line of sight on him inexplicably.

‘Is there someone in the workshop?’

‘Invisibility Technique?’

‘Is it the Kumogakure’s Shinobi, or the little brat who left before?’

The young craftsman Shinobi frowned slightly, and then he calmly walked to the side and rang a bell.

At this moment, Kanpū’s shadow clone raised his brows, feeling that something was wrong, so he immediately walked out of the craftsman workshop quietly and quickly moved away.

A few minutes later, three craftsmen Shinobi rushed over and surrounded the workshop.

“What happened?” The leading craftsman Shinobi asked.

“It feels like someone has sneaked into my workshop, please help me see it.” The young craftsman Shinobi explained.

“Okay!”

The three craftsmen Shinobi entered the workshop, checked every inch, and even used Sensor Ninjutsu, but unfortunately, they did not find any traces at all.

‘Is it just my illusion?’

The young craftsman Shinobi felt some hesitation.
