Naruto: Blood Mist Escape

The morning sun shines on the Hidden Mist Village

In the residential area south of the Hidden Mist Village, Wuxin, who had wiped off the sweat from his morning exercise, sat on a chair in the living room of his home, holding a thick stack of banknotes in his hand, carefully counting the amount.

Wuxin returned to the village yesterday evening. After a night's rest, he couldn't wait to make a fan that could control the wind early in the morning.

The process of making a wind-style fan involves melting chakra metal and carving inscriptions. The rumored chakra metal is very expensive, and Wu Xin doesn't know the exact price, so he counts his belongings.

The banknotes left by his parents were close to 4 million taels. The Yuanshi personally gave Wuxin 5 million taels of pension. Recently, Wuxin received a total of 80,000 taels for two missions. Most of the B-level missions accepted by Murayama Yuto were full of 200,000 taels of bounty, and Wuxin could only get 40,000.

"Nine million taels. Even if chakra metal is expensive, it shouldn't be unaffordable."

After Wuxin counted the money, he stood up and put it back into the safe. Then he changed into his regular clothes, walked out of the house, and headed to the ninja tool shop in the village.

After going out, Wuxin quickly walked through several streets and came to the door of a store called Takeuchi Weapons Store with ease.

Takeuchi Weapon Shop is one of the ninja tool shops located at the southern end of the village, not far from Wuxin's home. It is a ninja tool shop that Wuxin often visits.

Wuxin stood in front of the store and looked up at the name of the store. He didn't know why, but since he graduated from that Genin massacre, Wuxin felt a little unfamiliar with everything that was familiar to him.

"Hey, Wuxin, what are you daydreaming about? What are you going to buy this time?"

The counter of Takeuchi Weapons Shop blocked the entire door. The owner, Taro Takeuchi, sat in the middle of the counter and greeted Wuxin who was a little dazed.

"Ah, Uncle Taro."

Wuxin heard the shop owner's voice, withdrew his thoughts, and strode to the counter.

On the walls of the store are hung a wide variety of goods including ninja swords, long swords, hammers, axes, nunchakus, kunai, shurikens, sealing scrolls, detonating talismans, etc.

In particular, there are the most ninja swords, long, short, of various shapes and sizes, shining with cold light, and looking extremely sharp.

Wuxin stood outside the counter and took a look at the ninja tools in the store. As usual, there were no new additions. Then he turned his gaze to the boss Takeuchi Taro who was sitting in the middle of the counter and said softly:

"Uncle Taro, I want to buy some chakra metal. Do you have any?"

"Huh? Chakra metal, yes, of course.

My Takeuchi Taro Weapon Shop is famous for its comprehensive range of products, so how could it be out of stock? Just wait."

As the boss Taro Takeuchi spoke, he stood up from his seat, walked to the wall, took a short sword from the many ninja swords hanging on the wall, and returned to the counter seat.

"Hey, Wuxin, look, this is the chakra weapon."

Taro Takeuchi drew out the dagger and held it in one hand. As he spoke, blue chakra light emerged from the dagger.

"You materialized the chakra so easily?"

Wuxin looked at the blue light on the chakra dagger and was a little surprised. It was not easy to make chakra emerge into shape.

"How is it? This is the chakra weapon. My merchandise here is comprehensive, right? Hahahaha."

After Taro Takeuchi transferred chakra to the dagger for about ten seconds, fatigue showed on his face and he stopped transferring chakra. The dagger returned to normal, a dark and thick dagger.

Takeuchi Taro placed the dagger on the counter and continued with a warm smile on his face:

“Wu Xin, you are an old customer of mine.

This sword is very expensive. However, I heard that you have graduated from Genin, and this sword should be your first chakra weapon.

Uncle, I will sell it to you half and give it away half, and give you four million taels."

After Wuxin saw the chakra weapon, he kept smiling until he heard Takeuchi Taro's offer of four million taels, and then the smile slowly disappeared.

Merchants are profit-driven, and weapons stores probably won't stock too many of these expensive items for too long.

Wuxin thought for a moment and was not happy about Takeuchi Taro's half-sale and half-giveaway. He looked a little embarrassed and said softly:

"Uncle Taro, what I want is chakra iron, the raw material, not this kind of shaped weapon."

Wuxin emphasized his requirement again: chakra metal, not chakra weapon.

The smile on Takeuchi Taro's face froze and he put the dagger back into the scabbard.

"Chakra iron? You mean the metal material that can transmit chakra? There are some."

Taro Takeuchi placed the chakra dagger under the cabinet, then took out a black metal block the size of a brick from under the cabinet and placed it on the table.

"Is this chakra metal?"

Seeing this, Wuxin picked up the iron block and condensed chakra in his hand. The chakra was easily transferred into the iron block, causing the iron block to glow with the blue light of chakra.

The blue light of the iron block surprised Wuxin a little. It seemed that what was in his hand was not iron, but his own chakra arm. The high price was indeed justified.

"It is indeed a material that conducts chakra! Not bad."

Wuxin repeatedly confirmed the material's ability to conduct chakra, and the more he played with it, the more satisfied he became.

"This chakra metal is expensive, so it's good. Just this piece costs three million taels, can it be bad?"

Taro Takeuchi spoke softly. The target customers of his weapon shop are the ninjas of the Hidden Mist Village. These cold-blooded ninjas who live on the edge of a knife are very strict in their demands for weapons.

But even so, there are still very few people who would buy such expensive weapons.

This fine ninja sword, even if it is forged with chakra metal, is still just a weapon after all. Weapons will wear out, and the more intense the battle, the faster the wear and the shorter the service life, so almost no ninja will use this expensive weapon made of chakra metal, most of them will buy kunai and detonating tags.

Suffering from the fact that a 300-tael weapon is less than a chakra weapon, it is one ten-thousand-character unit less. Cheap and durable weapons are the mainstream, and expensive ones are not suitable for ninjas.

"Three million taels?"

Wuxin held the chakra iron and murmured something as if to confirm. He was thinking about how to draw on the banana fan leaves after the iron blocks were melted.

The weight of this piece of chakra iron is sufficient. As for how to control the temperature so that the chakra metal will not burn the fan blades, Wuxin has also mastered the key technology through the art of mind reading.

"Chakra metal is expensive, Wuxin, this is already the lowest price. Raw materials, if not used properly, are easy to waste. I suggest you use that dagger. That dagger was made by an experienced old craftsman and is very fine."

Taro Takeuchi quietly suggested that chakra metals and weapons were expensive, and he had been holding on to them for some time, so he was anxious to sell the goods for cash in order to avoid a backlog of his own financial resources and affect his purchases.

Wu Xin listened to the words, nodded slightly and said:

"No, I want to forge it myself, Uncle Taro. If you can provide a forging place and help me melt this piece of chakra iron, then I would like to give it a try."

Wuxin said as he put the chakra iron in his hand back on the counter top.

"A forging place? There's one in my yard, but are you sure you want to forge it yourself?

You have to think clearly. If the forging fails, you will lose everything. Three million taels, for you..."

Takeuchi Taro knows Wuxin very well. He is a prodigy of the Hidden Mist Village, extremely talented, and the only survivor of the Genin graduation tragedy. Although he was born in a ninja family, three million ryo is probably not a small amount for Wuxin.

When Wuxin heard that his boss Taro Takeuchi had a forging room at home, his eyes lit up.

"Uncle Taro, if you have a forging room at home, then this is it. Three million taels. I'll go back and get the money!"

After saying this, Wuxin turned around and ran home.
