Chapter 29: CH 29
"Chakra metal?" Naruto asked not quite remembering what it was.
"It is metal that allows chakra to run through it, so that it makes the attack stronger than just using it normally." he said as Naruto marveled at it. He wondered why more ninja's did not use it though when he thought about it his mother used a sword and when he had seen her using it before the twins were born, he remembered it glowed blue. He realized it must have been chakra metal.
They added them to the basket and continued looking through the small isles.
They also got to a small section that had scrolls and inks for fūinjutsu. They also sold sealing scrolls. Naruto didn't know that someone could sell sealing scrolls or other sealing related equipment.
He made a memory to save that information for later.
Finally they browsed at the different weapons they had on display as Naruto and Hiruzen looked over them.
"You know Naruto your mother is very powerful when it comes to the art of a sword. She could probably fight the Seven Swordsman equally and come out on top if she wanted too." Hiruzen said as he picked up a katana, looked it over and handed it to Naruto. "Maybe you might follow in her footsteps?"
Naruto took the katana in his right hand. He held it in his hand and swung it through the air a little. He looked it over and had to admit it was a beautiful katana and he knew the art of a sword was a major area of being a shinobi.
There was Kiri who he knew had the Seven Shinobi Swordsman of the Mist, seven of the best there was with a sword. Kumo he had been told learnt an academy style of Kenjutsu whilst in the academy and normally carried a sword with them.
Then there was Iron country where they had samurai instead of shinobi and were training extensively in the art of Kenjutsu.
Hiruzen watched as a frown appeared on his face. "What's the matter Naruto-kun?"
"I'm not too sure jiji. It is just the sword does not feel right in my hands." he said as Hiruzen and Tirano looked in surprise. "Interesting," they both thought as for the next ten minutes Naruto tried handling all the swords that Tirano had but yet all of them just did not feel right in Naruto's hands, with him saying that they just felt off.
"This is an interesting development." Hiruzen said tapping his chin. "Are you sure wielding a sword is something you want Naruto?" Naruto just nodded his head.
"I want to be a great Kenjutsu user and to one day surpass my Kaa-chan."
Tirano listened in and spoke what he was thinking. "You know when my father ran this store he always told me that a sword were like an extension of one's arm and that swords in a way have a life of their own.
"He said that the wielder does not choose the sword, but instead the sword chooses the wielder. Maybe the reason you don't connect with the swords is because the sword you are supposed to wield has not been made yet." he offered as Hiruzen and Naruto thought about it. Little Ten-Ten meanwhile just listened and watched from the top of the counter.
"Would you make the sword?" Hiruzen asked as Tirano shook his head.
"Not myself, but I have a trader from Iron country that visits here a few times a year. He worked for my father and even did some business with. I can contact him and ask for a blacksmith to construct a sword for Naruto. The man he does dealing with believe it or not is Muramasa Sengo." he said getting a look of surprise from Hiruzen.
"Who is that jiji?" Naruto asked.
"Muramasa Sengo is one of the best blacksmiths of our era Naruto-kun. His katana's and weapons he makes are works of art and many would like to get their hands on one of his swords."
"He is also the man who built your mother's katana." Tirano said getting a look of surprise from Naruto. He had only seen his mother katana a few times since she always kept it in a storage seal on her wrist but it was truly a beautiful katana. It was called the Kitetsu. Seeing his mother wield a blade was one of the reasons he wanted to become great at Kenjutsu and to one day surpass her since she was the best in Konoha.
"Would you really be able to get Muramasa Sengo to make Naruto a sword?" Hiruzen asked as Tirano nodded.
"He was good friends with my father and always offered to help him. He gave me the same courtesy. Knowing that he is building a first class katana for a boy who wants to be a great Kenjutsu wielder and uses it strength to protect those precious to him, I know he will say yes. It might take a month or two, but expect one of the finest katana's you will ever see becoming yours Naruto." he said making the boy smile brightly. "We can sort out payment later." he said as they all nodded and paid for the current equipment in their basket.
"So I would like everyone to say congratulations to your class mates Itachi Uchiha, Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze and Anko Mitsarashi for passing the academy in just one year. Wish them all the best as they take their first major step as shinobi of the leaf."
