Chapter 79
Chapter 79
Border of Land of Grass and Land of Fire.
After annihilating Hidden Sand's surprise troops, Feng didn't plan to dally anymore around Land of Rain. Although Nagato's Rinnegan was something he was eager to obtain as soon as possible, it was not something he could pay attention to for now.
After all, Uchiha Madara is still alive and still has eyes throughout the entire Ninja World. Nagato for sure is also under his surveillance. So it was still not a good point for him to delve into the secrets he knew about this world this early on.
"You've returned, and you also succeeded."
Orochimaru was reading a document in his tent. Seeing Feng walk in, his eyes immediately noticed the Sword of Kusanagi hanging on his waist as he smiled.
Feng nodded and said, "The information Master told me was completely accurate."
Orochimaru stared at Feng's Sword of Kusanagi, and said, "Can I take a look?"
Feng drew out the sword and handed it to Orochimaru.
Orochimaru took the Kusanaru sword and observed it with great interest for a while, he then injected his chakra and tried to swing it twice and said, "It has no problems, and it is indeed one of the Kusanagi Swords."
Feng asked curiously, "How many Swords of Kusanagi are there?"
The Sword of Kusanagi is not the name of a specific sword, but a collective name for many.
He already had a hunch previously that this sword was the one that Uchiha Sasuke used in the original story, and hearing Orochimaru finally confirmed his guess.
Orochimaru gave the sword back to Feng as he chuckled and said:
"According to legend, there were a total of eleven Swords of Kusanagi, but eight of them suddenly disappeared and only three remained. We still don't know if this legend was true or not, but we can be sure that there are three Swords of Kusanagi."
"They are the Chokuto, Tsurugi, and Sword of Totsuka."
Feng was not surprised about the Three Swords as he already knew this information from his knowledge of this world. What surprised him was that the three were not the only ones included in the collection of Swords of Kusanagi, which was not stated in the original story.
Orochimaru continued to smile and said: "What I have with me is the Sword of Tsurugi. You've seen it yourself, my sword can quickly extend and retract its blade if I want to attack my enemy from long distances, not only that, with the Longsword of the Sky, I can also control it telekinetically."
"The one you obtained is the Chokuto Sword. Not only is it tough, but also extremely sharp and it is a perfect weapon for using Chakra Flow.
"The last sword is the Sword of Totsuka, also known as the Sakegari Longsword. It is an ethereal weapon with its blade capable of sealing the target it pierces."
Feng knew all of this.
He caressed the blade softly.
Among the three Swords of Kusanagi, the Sword of Totsuka poses a certain threat towards him. Although the Tsurugi Sword along with Longsword of the Sky looked a bit fancy, he didn't really mind as the Chokuto Sword was the best and most perfect weapon for him.
Ever since his fight against Pakura, he felt that his usage of Chakra Flow was stronger with the Chokuto Sword compared to when he was using the White Light Chakra Sabre!
It just means that the Chokuto Sword was more suitable and has a higher compatibility with him and his techniques.
An ordinary kunai when infused with Chakra Flow. Due to its materials and the poor quality, the weapon would only be capable of exerting less than 20-30% at most.
As for the White Light Chakra Sabre, when Feng infuses his chakra on the weapon he can at most exert 70-80% of power. Such efficiency is almost the same as directly using Ninjutsus.
But the Chokuto is even stronger!
He can utilize at least 90% of the chakra he infuses in the Sword!
This is also one of the reasons why Feng's Hatake Swordsmanship has slightly been 'affected' ever since he obtained this sword, but he can still use his techniques like Crescent Slash.
Although his Swordsmanship was influenced by the sword, his Chakra Flow improved.
"So that's it..."
Although Feng already knew the majority of the information Orochimaru said, he still looked like he was in a daze.
The corner of Orochimaru's mouth raised and he said: "This sword is the most suitable for you, but you need to make some adjustments because of your Hatake Swordsmanship."
Feng nodded and said, "Indeed, it's still quite hard for me to adapt from a short sword to a long one, but either way, since they are swords, it wouldn't take long for me to get used to using the Chokuto Sword."
The only difference between his previous weapon and current are their lengths, it wasn't like a scythe or a hammer or a different kind of weapon.
There was no need for him to start from scratch in practicing Hatake Swordsmanship just so he can adjust to his new weapon, he would just need to make some slight alterations.
After all, men are much better at controlling lengths of certain things. (:p)
"With your talent, it wouldn't take long for you to get used to it."
Orochimaru chuckled and asked casually: "How's the situation in the Land of Rain?"
Feng's return was rather quick, so his journey should be fairly smooth and didn't encounter any accidents.
However, after asking this question, he noticed Feng stiffening up as if in a dilemma and couldn't really speak "Uhhm... Well...."
After a while.
Orochimaru looked at the pile of registration plates on the table with a dumbfounded expression.
After Feng threw all the registration plates on the table he finally said to Orochimaru, "...that's roughly what happened."
There was silence inside the tent..
At this moment, two Jonin's who was also inside the tend with them have their mouths wide open in shock.
Just a glance and they could already tell that the number of the plates in front of them was roughly a hundred. If they really were authentic and came from enemy ninjas, then wouldn't that mean... Feng single handedly slaughtered hundred ninjas all alone?!
Even if the majority of them are Genin's the numbers are still astronomical.
"...If the situation is the same as you said, then your accomplishment this time around would be even greater than our previous battle."
Orochimaru, who was dumbfounded for a moment, finally spoke.
Feng alone annihilated the entire surprise army of Hidden Sand Village whose mission should be to flank their frontline camp. This feat Feng can even be regarded as a hero!
However, Feng didn't show much expression and just casually replied:
"It's just a coincidence."
For Feng, achievements meant nothing to him. All he has in his mind is to continually raise his strength.
"Oh I almost forgot...."
Feng gave another scroll to Orochimaru and said, "One of my enemies has a unique Kekkei Genkai and I've taken some of her blood. Teacher, I think you would like it."
Normally, Orochimaru would have high interests in unique artifacts, weapons and even subjects, but ever since he learned about Feng's abilities, his desire for them has decreased tremendously.
But since he has this obsession on collecting stuff he wouldn't just ignore it, and it also happened to be one of the samples he lacked.
"Well done. I'll make a report and send it to the village."
After taking the scroll, Orochimaru added, "Oh right, Sensei assigned you to rush towards our frontline camp against Hidden Sand, you should set off as soon as possible."
Feng sighed helplessly and said, "I can't catch a break."
However he was not surprised by this order.
Unless Namikaze Minato himself breaks through the Hidden Sand Army and defeated them, then the situation would only continue to be a stalemate, so Hiruzen wanted to send Feng over to assist.
In reality, he really wanted to temporarily leave for a while and look for a place to quietly train, but doing so during wartime was the same as defecting the village, and he still has no intentions of leaving.
On one hand, he still has to think about the safety of his brother and the others that are close to him.
On the other hand, with the exception of the half-dead Uchiha Madara, and Namikaze Minato and his Flying Thunder God Technique, there's really nobody capable of threatening Feng with his current strength.
He also needs to stay for a while longer in Hidden Leaf because of some of his plans.
"You just annihilated an entire army, you should take a rest first while waiting for further instructions from the village."
Orochimaru kept the scrolls and smiled.
Feng exhaled and said: "Then, I'll excuse myself first."
He still hasn't had any sleep ever since he left for the Sword of Kusanagi, even though he can just use Time Reversal to remove his fatigue, resting was still better.
