Chapter 98: Naraku Forges Uchiha Weapons, Uchiha Min's Uchiha Fan Request, and B+ Grade Vassal Weapons Completed
Naraku watched Sarutobi Hiruzen leave with an uncertain, gloomy expression, then returned to the forging room himself. At this moment, Naraku still didn't know the other ninja villages had decided to temporarily cease hostilities.
He was still planning to forge some weapons to strengthen the Uchiha.
Naraku opened the clients' requests and found most Uchiha demands were quite normal—basically ninja swords. At most some armor. But among this group of relatively normal weapons appeared one gunbai (war fan).
Naraku immediately lost it—who was the genius trying to mess with him?
Then he saw it was from that old man Uchiha Min!
Naraku couldn't hold back anymore and directly went to Uchiha Min's room.
He kicked the door open with one foot!
Uchiha Min, who was eating fruit, was startled by the violent door-kick—the fruit lodged in his throat. He coughed violently for a while before saying: "Such disrespect toward the clan's Great Elder, such disrespect toward an elder—even you, Naraku, must give me an explanation."
Hearing this, Naraku's anger flared even more: "Explanation? You want an explanation? Everyone else is asking for normal ninja swords and armor. Only you want an Uchiha gunbai! Do you know what the raw materials for an Uchiha gunbai are? Even if I forge it, can you even use it?"
Uchiha Min, hearing Naraku's words, instantly switched to his carefree old-man mode. Actually Naraku had discovered that sometimes distance really does create beauty. When he wasn't familiar with this old man, he seemed full of dignity. But after getting to know him, this guy completely let himself go.
Uchiha Min teased: "Could it be that the strongest forger in the ninja world can't make an Uchiha gunbai?"
Naraku sneered: "This isn't about whether I can or not—it's that the cost is too high. You need to pay extra!"
Uchiha Min saw Naraku seemed hooked and said: "You know me. From childhood my mother told me—no, from childhood I've idolized Lord Madara, trained hard in Uchiha Reflection, and always wanted a gunbai like Lord Madara's. Can't you fulfill this request for me? I don't have anything valuable on me right now. How about I let little Mikoto marry you? Also at most I have two three-tomoe Sharingan left—you can take them if you want."
With that Uchiha Min spread his hands in a rogue-like pose. Actually Uchiha Min felt the Uchiha clan's cohesion was getting worse and worse lately.
He hoped the reappearance of a weapon representing the Uchiha could bring some positive effect to the clan.
And he had genuinely trained in Uchiha Reflection.
Naraku mocked: "Mikoto and I are mutually in love—do you think an old man like you gets to interfere? As for your three-tomoe Sharingan, keep them in your head for now. I'll come take them when I want them someday."
Naraku didn't say the rest: you old man like Madara so much—Madara should be hiding in some basement right now. Why don't you go find him?
Uchiha Min immediately felt a bit speechless. How was this grandson-in-law so petty? He was just joking—yet Naraku took it seriously! Later he thought he probably didn't have many years left.
He could only grit his teeth and agree.
Afterward Naraku explained that the Uchiha gunbai he forged would have certain differences in function and characteristics—don't complain later.
Uchiha Min naturally agreed wholeheartedly.
Naraku returned to the forging room once again and began forging ordinary weapons methodically.
He first took out the materials needed for each weapon, then created 10 Wood Clones. He discovered Wood Clones truly deserved to be a noble Wood Release ninjutsu—compared to those fragile ordinary shadow clones that shatter on touch, they were stronger by not just one or two points, but at least three or four!
Afterward Naraku's main body acted as supervisor and support.
Since these were all B-rank weapons, Naraku's progress was very fast.
He assigned different dangerous species according to the clients' requests. Because he had let them choose beforehand, it was just enough.
Otherwise Naraku suspected nine out of ten Uchiha would want Fire Release weapons or armor, and the remaining one would want Lightning. Naraku didn't have that many Fire-attribute dangerous species.
Dangerous Species · Flying Mantis + Dangerous Species · Water Dragon Beast → forged into Water Dragon Sword and Tōichimonji.
Dangerous Species · Fire Scale Beast → forged a Fire-attribute long sword for the first person who chose Fire. Naraku checked the requester's name—it was actually Uchiha Sengoku, the clan head.
Damn, this Uchiha clan really produces talents one after another. The high-status ones either play fancy tricks or demand special treatment—but considering Uchiha Sengoku's combat power should be decent, Naraku didn't dwell on it.
Dangerous Species · Thunder Beast → forged a Lightning-attribute long sword, no question.
Dangerous Species · Poison Dragon Beast → forged a poison sword.
Dangerous Species · Iron Armor Beast → forged armor.
Finally, Dangerous Species · Earth Dragon Beast → prepared as a life-saving measure for Uchiha Mikoto.
Soon, the various vassal weapons were completed one by one.

[Congratulations to the forger for creating B+ grade Tōichimonji · Second Generation]
[Tōichimonji Second Generation: B+ grade vassal weapon. This sword is single-edged, 1.2 meters long, possesses "sturdy" and "sharp" traits, and can smoothly conduct chakra. Skills:
Stores a certain amount of Yang-attribute chakra to deliver a special powerful strike against the enemy!
Normal Tōichimonji bleeding passive]
Naraku looked at this second-generation weapon. Thanks to his improved forging skill, it directly surpassed the one Orochimaru possessed, reaching B+ grade.
Truly the Yangtze River's rear waves push the front waves—the front waves die on the beach! Wait—what? Both front and rear waves are me? Then never mind! It just means I've become stronger!

[Congratulations to the forger for creating B+ grade Water Dragon Blade]
[Water Dragon Blade: B+ grade vassal weapon! This sword is single-edged, 1.21 meters long, possesses "sturdy" and "sharp" traits, and can smoothly conduct chakra. Skills:
After activating Water Dragon Eye, battle power is strengthened for three minutes, but extreme fatigue follows use.
After activating the sword body main body, movement agility and speed greatly increase for three minutes, followed by relative fatigue.
Has strengthening effect against single-attribute chakra.]
This weapon is called Water Dragon Blade, but in reality it's Water Dragon Sword Second Generation. Compared to the original, it has its own characteristics. Naraku's proficiency when forging this one was higher, resulting in superior sharpness and sturdiness over the original.
However, it lacks the massive chakra metal from the original Water Dragon Sword, so chakra conduction ability is inferior to the original.
The rest is just slight shape differences.
