Naruto: Are you worthy of being called Sage Mode?

The Country of Craftsmen is not far from the Country of Bears. Hiruzen Sarutobi took a merchant ship and arrived at the Country of Craftsmen.

Speaking of which, this ninja world is actually not that big, more like a part of a continent. The Country of Takumi is a small island country, but it is not too small, and is much larger than the Country of Whirlpool.

The ninja tools of the major ninja villages in the entire ninja world are all forged by the Takumi Ninja Village in the Country of Takumi.

Unlike other ninja villages that rely mainly on accepting tasks as their main source of income, the ninja craftsmen in the Takumi Ninja Village are completely self-sufficient.

It can be said that this temporarily represents the pinnacle of forging craftsmanship in the ninja world, but nowadays ninjas don't care much about ninja tools.

The craftsmanship of the Ninja Village is very high, and they know how to make ninja tools that can carry chakra.

The reason why Kakashi's father was awarded the title of White Fang was because of the chakra short sword called "White Fang".

Weapons that can carry chakra will be doubled in lethality and sharpness.

However, probably because Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara are invincible strong men who rely on ninjutsu, the current ninja world does not pay special attention to ninja tools.

This is normal. No matter how powerful the ninja tool is, it is still far behind the magic weapon of a cultivator. And if you rely too much on the ninja tool, its weaknesses will be particularly obvious.

Even so, the country of Takumi still makes a lot of money by selling ninja tools. After all, this is a naked arms trade. That is to say, these ninjas are so backward in thinking that a small country can monopolize the arms trade of the entire ninja world.

Even if these shuriken and other ninja tools have very low lethality against ninjas, for countries such as the Fire Nation, the number of sophisticated weapons that need to be purchased every year is not a small amount.

Ninjas fight life and death for money, so why bother?

The forging technology in the Country of Craftsmen is so advanced mainly because it is rich in various rare ores. At the same time, there is a volcano on the island and there are underground flames, which are naturally suitable for forging various tools.

Secondly, the country of craftsmen also has an ancestor named "Qingming" who is a genius craftsman who makes ninja tools that are far ahead of this era.

After all, the financial resources of the Takumi Country are comparable to those of the Star Ninja Village, and the ambitions of the Takumi Country far exceed those of the Star Ninja Village.

As soon as Sarutobi Hiruzen arrived at Takunin Village, he was discovered by the ninjas here, and they quickly learned Sarutobi Hiruzen's identity - the Sandaime Hokage who used some secret technique to become younger!

After all, Sarutobi Hiruzen had been the Hokage for so long, and now he suddenly chose to give up all his rights, handing over everything in Konoha to Orochimaru, and then became even younger. This was definitely a strange thing.

All the major ninja villages are paying close attention to Sarutobi Hiruzen, and even the news that he went to the Star Ninja Village to take away the star has spread.

The country of Takumi has ambitions and funds, and is very concerned about all kinds of news in the ninja world. Naturally, it began to pay close attention to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

The only thing the country of craftsmen lacks may be strength.

Sarutobi Hiruzen walked around the Takumi Ninja Village. The style of this Ninja Village is very different from that of Konoha. There are shops selling ninja tools everywhere, and there are also a large number of small forging workshops where forging is in full swing.

War in the ninja world happens anytime and anywhere, and consumes a huge amount of ninja tools, so the country of craftsmen is always busy.

However, the ninja tools here are too ordinary and useless to Sarutobi Hiruzen. It seems that he should go to the mines of these craftsman ninjas.

In fact, the best way is to directly rob these craftsman ninjas and see the good goods they collect, just like those Hongzhou merchant ninjas.

Although these ninjas do not know the purpose of these elixirs, they also know that they are treasures and can be used to increase their effectiveness.

These craftsman-nin must have some treasures. After all, there is a big difference between rare minerals and ordinary minerals. However, Konoha has a cooperative relationship with the country of craftsmen. A conflict with these craftsmen-nin will have a big impact on Orochimaru.

Sarutobi Hiruzen had just taken a few steps when he was immediately stopped.

"Lord Sarutobi Hiruzen, the head of our Takumi Ninja Village invites you to come over and have a chat."

Several ninjas from the Takumi Ninja Village stopped Sarutobi Hiruzen, but their attitude was still very respectful.

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded and followed these ninjas directly to the building of Takunin Village.

However, there is no Takui in the Takumi Ninja Village. There is only one chairman of the Chamber of Commerce. All the ninja tools at the exits of the entire Takumi Ninja Village must pass through his hands, which is no different from the Kage in the Takumi Ninja Village.

"Sandaime Hokage, why did you come to our little Takumi Ninja Village?"

The chairman of the Chamber of Commerce is a middle-aged man who looks very shrewd and feels very treacherous.

"Although your Tinker Ninja Village is small, you make a lot of money every year."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was also smiling, but after Sarutobi Hiruzen's words came out, the chamber of commerce chairman's expression changed.

Is the Takunin Village really being targeted?

In fact, he has always been surprised that the benefits of these ninja tools and various weapons are very huge, far more than the benefits of those ninja villages accepting tasks.

Of course, the Ninja Village has many other benefits, as well as allocations from the country's daimyo. The income of a country is still a lot.

"However, this time I am not here for your village, but I want to buy some minerals."

Sarutobi Hiruzen changed the topic and talked about other topics.

"I want to refine a special ninja tool and collect some rare minerals."

"Is that so? The Craftsman Ninja Village will definitely welcome you."

After finishing speaking, he turned to look at the ninja next to him.

"Show Sarutobi-sama our treasures!"

After Hiruzen Sarutobi left, four more ninjas came into the room. These were the Four Elephants from Takunin Village!

A small organization is trying to resurrect Qingming, the founder of Takumi Ninja, thinking that resurrecting Qingming can counterattack the five major countries!

"Sir, is this the Sandaime Hokage of Konoha? He looks very weak, and he can't even feel the presence of chakra in his body."

"There is no doubt about Sarutobi Hiruzen's strength. The only problem may be that he is older, but it seems that age is no longer a problem now. It is better not to act rashly."

The chairman of the Chamber of Commerce said in a deep voice that he knew that the old guy Sarutobi Hiruzen would definitely not come out if he was not completely sure.

Moreover, the current strength of the Craftsman Ninja Village is insufficient. It is definitely irrational to offend Konoha rashly. No matter how rich it is, it will definitely not be Konoha's opponent.

The strongest people in the Craftsman Ninja Village are the Shitenxiang people just now, but the strength of these four people is not very good. They mainly rely on ninja tools and their own strength is limited.

And these Four Elephants have already set their sights on Sarutobi Hiruzen, Qingming, the founder of the Craftsman Country, who forged himself into a ninja tool before he died!

All it takes is one person to donate chakra and still have life, Qingming can be resurrected and become the so-called "ultimate ninja tool"!

Sarutobi Hiruzen is naturally the most suitable choice!
