Hokage Naruto, The Opening Black Coffin Shocked Konoha

Naruto brought a special crystal ore collected from the Land of Snow, which was the hexagonal crystal left to him by Kazuka Koyuki's father, a crystal ore of the same origin.

In fact, it is also one of the core raw materials of Chakra armor. This is one of the main reasons why Chakra armor is only popular in the Snow Country and has not been promoted in the ninja world.

There is another important thing, that is, the hundreds of souls collected by Ludben from annihilating the remnants of Feng Hua Raging Wave came to the familiar blacksmith shop to strengthen Zanpakutō.

When the old blacksmith saw Naruto arriving, it was quite a welcome.

After learning from the last experience, the old blacksmith took out the notebook and pen he had prepared in advance, intending to silently record his learning while Naruto was forging.

The old blacksmith could tell at a glance that the crystal in Naruto's hand was not extraordinary, and he immediately asked: "This is not an ordinary rough stone, right? If my guess is correct, is it a natural material that can react with Chakra?"

Naruto was slightly surprised by the old blacksmith's eyes and replied: "Your eyes are indeed poisonous, you have discovered this."

"Actually, I also surmised. Judging from the performance of this rough stone, it is no longer an ordinary material. You came to me most likely to forge a knife," the old blacksmith paused and continued, "But such a precious thing, Wouldn’t it be a pity to use it as supplementary material?”

Naruto nodded and agreed with his statement. Just because this ore can be used to make Chakra armor, it is destined that it will not be circulated in the market.

It was also because of Naruto's special relationship with Snow Country that he made an exception and allowed him to take away such a large crystal stone.

According to the manufacturing details of Chakra armor, the piece Naruto had in his hand was enough to make two sets of Chakra armor used by Feng Hua Furu Teng, which was enough to show how valuable it was.

Naruto took out the Zanpakutō from his waist, looked at the blade filled with cold light, and said lightly: "You won't understand. In terms of value alone, my sword is the most precious. You don't know how much has been invested in it. s life."

Hearing this, the old blacksmith seemed to have an epiphany. He quickly recorded it in his notebook, then bowed deeply to Naruto and apologized, saying, "I'm very sorry, I actually judged it with worldly eyes."

The process still uses clones to assist the forging, but because this time the materials come from the extremely cold mineral veins of the Snow Country, it takes a little more effort to heat them.

In addition, the number of souls this time was many times greater than the previous ones. But as soon as the container was opened, the reluctance and regret in it spewed out, as if it could transform into nothingness immediately.

Even the old blacksmith beside the furnace couldn't help but shudder.

But how can it be difficult to live with Naruto? He has killed even the captain of the Soul Society and the Soul King who opened up the three realms. So what can a little soul do?

The old blacksmith looked at Naruto's forging action and muttered to himself for no reason: "Speaking of which, it is rare that people in Konoha are still used to using ninja swords. Speaking of which, I haven't seen Hayate for a long time. His sword has always been Come to me for maintenance regularly.”

Naruto was still concentrating on his work and said casually: "Who knows, maybe he was sent to destroy a big demon king."

The whole process was quite smooth, and the special crystal blessing this time greatly strengthened Zanpakutō's tolerance to hot and cold, as well as the conductivity of Chakra, laying the foundation for carrying Ryūjin Jakka in the near future.

Before leaving, Naruto asked the old blacksmith a question: "If you have the opportunity to forge a brand new sword that surpasses the concept of ninja tools in this world, what price are you willing to pay?"

"A brand new sword that surpasses the concept of ninja tools in this world?" The old blacksmith obviously asked Naruto a question without forming a clear concept in his mind.

"The weapons forged by you will largely influence the direction of the entire ninja world. Those who hold the weapons you forge will bring about a subversive change in the entire ninja world."

The old blacksmith shook his head and said, "I am not interested in these changes. I am very interested in being able to forge a brand new sword that surpasses the concept of ninja tools. Forging is my life and everything."

Naruto nodded, took out a stack of bills and gave them to the old blacksmith as the fee for using the venue. Under the other party's strong refusal, Naruto still forced him to accept it.

Naruto planned to build a good relationship with the old blacksmith, because the Soul Society creation plan required a large number of souls to be guided to the Soul Society at the same time, and this work could only be completed by Zanpakutō.

But using Zanpakutō to kill tens of thousands of souls and using Zanpakutō to guide tens of thousands of souls are two completely different concepts.

The former can be easily done as long as you have strong enough ability, which can be regarded as a vassal of becoming stronger.

But the latter requires a large number of people to do this at the same time. Even if Naruto has multiple Shadow Clone Techniques, he still needs enough Zanpakutō to complete this task.

Although he has no way to solve the alternative method that Zanpakutō forging requires a large number of souls, the choice of forging is also an important point.

Although Naruto has also considered using the method of exposing Zanpakutō to attract ninjas to fight each other to forge Zanpakutō, and then kill them himself and reap the benefits.

But Naruto weighed it again and again and gave up this idea. It is still too dangerous to expose the information of Zanpakutō. There is definitely no shortage of smart people in this world. They can completely deduce more information on this basis.

In this way, Naruto's information advantage for so long will be greatly reduced invisibly.

So he chose to maintain a good relationship with the old blacksmith first, so that he could use it for future plan implementation, and on the other hand, he could release wrong guidance through the old blacksmith when others investigated his information.

In the remaining half a month, Naruto acted as low-key as possible, just quietly accepting tasks, no matter what kind of tasks he accepted.

And most of them were D-level tasks such as finding cats and finding objects. Naruto was familiar with every corner of Konoha Village through these D-level tasks spread across every corner of Konoha.

Because it was guessed that Orochimaru's actions would involve a large number of people, the battlefield would definitely not be small.

Assuming that Orochimaru's target was Sarutobi Hiruzen, the center of the outbreak was the venue of the third Chūnin exam, and the battlefield would most likely fall in Konoha Village.

"Black and White Luo, Twenty-two Bridges, Sixty-six Crowns, Footprints, Distant Thunder, Peaks, Back to Earth, Night Hiding, Sea of ​​Clouds, Azure Parade, Fill the Great Garden and Soar to the Sky, Bakudō Seventy-seven, Tensokuro."

Considering the distance, Naruto chose to chant all and release Tensokuro.

"After arranging the affairs of Wave Country, you can leave for Konoha. The stage is ready and the performance will start soon."
