Sora felt that Tsunade's reasoning made sense.
The First and Second Hokage held absolute prestige and supreme status within Konaha.
Even after being dead for many years, no one dared to disrespect their legacy.
Moreover, Tsunade was still alive.
Even someone like Uchiha Sasuke could continue living in the Uchiha Clan compound without it being reclaimed, so the same naturally applied to Tsunade.
Furthermore, no matter how ruthless Danzo was, the Second Hokage had once been his teacher.
He would never dare to openly barge into the Senju Clan residence to cause trouble.
In addition, most of the Senju Clan's most valuable items had already been placed within Konaha itself by the First and Second Hokage.
The things left inside the clan residence were mainly ordinary household items and weapons previously used by Senju Clan members.
Konaha did not lack such weapons, so there was no need for anyone to risk taking them from the Senju Clan.
Even if someone wanted to, the Third Hokage would not allow it, Tsunade would not permit it.
And the other ninja of Konaha would never accept it unless someone wished to completely ruin their reputation.
Because of this, the Senju Clan residence had remained untouched since Tsunade left.
Someone even cleaned it regularly, keeping the place spotless despite being unoccupied for many years.
"Then I will head there," Sora said as a hint of anticipation appeared in his eyes.
After all, if a weapon could remain memorable to someone like Tsunade for so many years especially when she had no interest in weapons and never used them it could not possibly be ordinary.
Tsunade had even said that it ranked among the best weapons collected by the First and Second Hokage, possibly surpassing Orochimaru's Kusanagi Sword.
Sora wanted to see it as soon as possible.
Tanzaku Town was not very far from Konaha. Traveling at full speed, it did not take long before Sora saw Konaha Village once again.
Perhaps because Sora had shown remarkable strength during the Chunin Exams, the guards at the gate did not stop him and allowed him to enter.
Of course, it was also possible they had already received notice that he would come to confirm his Chunin status.
The moment he entered the village, Sora could clearly sense that members of the Anbu had begun observing him from the shadows.
This was expected, and it did not concern him.
"First, I will stay at a hot spring inn," Sora thought.
Influenced by Tsunade and having grown up frequently soaking in hot springs, he had developed a strong preference for them.
If a hotel had hot springs, he would always choose it first.
Having visited Konaha before, Sora was already familiar with the layout of the village.
He knew that the higher-ups would quickly learn of his arrival, so he calmly waited for their arrangements.
Sure enough, it was not long before an Anbu suddenly appeared and guided him to a room.
After completing several procedures, his Chunin status was officially confirmed.
However, since he was not a ninja of Konaha, he did not receive a Konaha forehead protector.
Sora did not want one anyway. To him, it was nothing more than a decorative symbol.
With the first task completed, Sora was not in a hurry to leave.
Because of his identity, Konaha did not force him out either.
After all, everyone knew he was the disciple of Tsunade, one of Konaha's legendary Sannin.
No one would be foolish enough to chase him away simply for staying a few days.
Sora was perfectly satisfied with this situation.
That night, he left behind a Shadow Clone and quietly moved through the darkness toward the Senju Clan residence.
Just as Tsunade had said, although the residence had been empty for many years, it remained spotless and well maintained, clearly cleaned regularly.
Following Tsunade's instructions, Sora arrived at the Senju Clan's weapon storage room.
Inside were many weapons once used by members of the Senju Clan, and several of them had been famous throughout the ninja world.
It seemed that the people of Konaha still held deep respect for the Senju Clan, much like the founding dynasty of a nation whose legacy could not easily be touched.
Moreover, these weapons were not considered extremely precious treasures.
Compared to the respect the Senju Clan commanded among Konaha's people, stealing these relics would never be worth the risk of public condemnation.
Even Danzo would not do something so foolish just for a few weapons.
As long as the Third Hokage was alive, no one would dare touch them.
And since the Third Hokage had only recently died, the higher-ups of Konaha were currently occupied with their internal struggles for power.
No one had time to care about these nearly forgotten weapons of the Senju Clan.
"Release!" Sora formed several hand seals and pressed his palm against a wall.
Immediately, tadpole-like sealing patterns similar to those used in the Summoning Technique appeared across the wall.
Moments later, the wall slowly split open, revealing a series of hidden rectangular compartments filled with numerous blades.
The weapons casually displayed in the outer storage room were merely high-quality weapons.
How could the true collection of the Senju Clan consist of only those?
Every great clan possessed hidden secrets, and the Senju Clan was no exception.
The hidden compartments contained the clan's truly valuable weapons.
"This must be it," Sora murmured as he quickly located a blade that perfectly matched the description Tsunade had given him.
He took the sword down and slowly unsheathed it.
The moment the blade left the scabbard, a powerful wave of killing intent surged toward him.
It was clear that this weapon had been used countless times during war and had taken many lives.
Alongside that killing intent came a sharp, chilling aura that made Sora immediately realize this was no ordinary weapon.
It was said that special materials had been added during its forging, giving the blade a very high affinity with chakra.
Chakra flowed through it with minimal resistance and was greatly amplified once infused.
This was similar to the chakra blades used by ninja like Sarutobi Asuma. Many famous ninja weapons were forged using similar techniques.
"Not bad," Sora said with clear satisfaction.
The weapon before him was a double-edged sword, similar to Orochimaru's Kusanagi Sword, and it was not a saber.
He had always found it strange that many people in this world used the words sword and blade interchangeably.
But for Sora, the distinction was clear. This weapon was unquestionably a sword.
"Since this sword has drunk the blood of countless enemies during the chaotic era of war and seems to exist purely for slaughter,
and since the word 'Slaughter' is engraved on it, I will name it the Slaughter Blade," Sora said calmly as he swung the weapon through the air.
Tsunade had previously trained him in the basic use of many weapons.
Although he had not practiced them often, he still retained familiarity with them.
Because of that, he did not appear clumsy at all while wielding the Slaughter Blade.
