Chapter 100: Naraku Forges Poison Fang, Black Rhino Armor, and Guardian Armor – B+ Grade Vassal Weapons for Uchiha
The next morning, Naraku looked at the bizarre, extremely ugly Poison Dragon Beast in front of him and knew he couldn't treat it like forging ordinary weapons. His knowledge reserve also lacked any specific plan for utilizing this dangerous species to forge a weapon.
Naraku could only rely on his high level of skill to judge how to proceed.
Soon a specific plan appeared in Naraku's mind: one option was to directly use its venom sac and make something specialized for applying poison.
Alternatively, use its venom fangs to forge a ninja sword. This would solve the drawbacks of the fangs not producing venom autonomously and the venom sac not being able to withstand high-temperature burning.
Soon Naraku had his clones start working—after all, while this thing's poison wasn't as insane as Muramasa's curse poison, it was still quite ridiculous.
Ding...
[Congratulations to the forger for creating B+ grade Poison-attribute Ninja Sword and Poison Sac]
Thinking of the two sharp fangs of the Poison Dragon Beast, Naraku named this sword Poison Fang.
[Poison Fang: B+ grade vassal weapon. This sword is single-edged, 1.15 meters long, blade and body presenting purple-black. Possesses "sturdy," "sharp," and "deadly poison" traits, can smoothly conduct chakra. Skills:
Venom Extraction: The Poison Dragon Beast's fangs have venom storage capability; the forged weapon can store venom and evenly coat the blade.
Venom Injection: Injecting chakra into the sword allows venom to enter the enemy's body at extremely high speed.
Poison Attachment: Can choose to add deadly poison to Water-attribute attacks. Debuffs:
After severely depleting venom, must replenish via the poison sac.
Venom effects harm both enemy and ally.]
Poison Sac: Tool for replenishing Poison Fang's venom; can consume chakra to accelerate venom production.
Naraku looked at this ninja sword and immediately noticed its failure point—this poison harms both sides, making it somewhat trash.
But there were ways to mitigate this drawback: manufacture antidotes in advance.
Otherwise it would become: "My sword is coated in deadly poison, bro." Or the kind of teamfight destroyer that kills more teammates than enemies.
Of course enemies could also produce antidotes after preserving samples, but if they really manufactured large quantities of antidote and carried it constantly just for one sword, that would already count as a breakthrough in warfare.
And later he could consider updating the poison. Damn, Naraku thought—people using this weapon might end up called "Little Hanzo." That would be quite a legend.
The remaining two weren't as worrying.
Dangerous Species · Iron Armor Beast and Dangerous Species · Earth Dragon Beast were both intended for forging armor. These two had no poison—Naraku's main body could participate.
When Naraku saw the Iron Armor Beast, he immediately knew anything forged from it would absolutely not suit Uchiha.
It wasn't even suitable for ninjutsu-type ninjas. It was far better suited for taijutsu ninjas like Gai and Dai.
But in Naruto, taijutsu ninjas weren't the type to tank damage head-on—they relied more on terrifying physical conditioning to dodge attacks while counterattacking.
So excessively heavy Iron Armor Beast would hinder their speed. But Naraku thought of another use: forge equipment from this dangerous species for training.
That would be a very good capability.
As for the one who wanted armor—he could only say sorry. Later he could compensate depending on the situation. Besides, he hadn't made any promises before—this was just a simple survey.
Speaking of which, Naraku couldn't help but admire how watertight Uchiha Min could be sometimes.

[Congratulations to the forger for creating B+ grade Heavy Armor]
Naraku's mouth twisted into a grin as he named the armor Black Rhino Armor!
This was because the Iron Armor Beast looked somewhat like a rhinoceros—and it was black.
Since this armor was mainly for training, Naraku could freely modify its surface. In the end this handsome armor appeared before Naraku.
[Black Rhino Armor: B+ grade heavy armor! This armor uses Teigu armor forging techniques for free size adjustment. Possesses "toughness" and "recovery" traits, has strong chakra conduction ability! Skills:
Heavy Pressure: Injecting chakra can make the armor heavier. The more chakra, the more exaggerated the weight.
Defense Enhancement: Injecting chakra can further increase armor defense. The more chakra, the more terrifying the defense.]
Naraku couldn't wait and put on the armor. Ask any boy—who doesn't want a cool black rhino armor?
After putting it on, Naraku moved his elbows and shook his head like in those old TV dramas.
He couldn't help but feel he was truly amazing—the armor he forged was handsome and still comfortable.
Then came the highlight. Naraku continuously injected chakra into the armor. Under the chakra infusion, the armor grew heavier and heavier. Naraku struggled forward a few steps and couldn't help but feel this function was excellent.
People who've worked out know: for fast muscle growth, you need heavy weights. In the ninja world, wanting to become stronger faster should also involve heavy weights—otherwise you can only improve slowly through volume like Gai and his father.
Naraku played with it for a while then began forging the final armor.
This one was for Mikoto. Although Mikoto always said she wanted to help Naraku, Naraku truly didn't want this childhood friend to face too much danger. So this armor prioritized survival.
Soon the armor was completed under Naraku's hands.

[Congratulations to the forger for creating B+ grade Armor]
When naming this armor, Naraku was stumped. If it weren't for Mikoto, he'd just call it Earth Dragon Armor. But this was for a girl—he couldn't name it casually.
After thinking for a while, Naraku decided to call this armor Guardian.
[Guardian Armor: B+ grade Earth-attribute armor! This armor uses Teigu armor forging techniques for free size adjustment. Possesses "toughness" and "recovery" traits, has strong chakra conduction ability! Skills:
Hardening: Injecting chakra can further increase armor defense.
Earth Travel: Injecting chakra allows the armor wearer to freely move underground.
Earth Assimilation: Injecting chakra allows the armor to "merge with the earth," making it difficult for enemies to detect.]
Naraku looked at this curvaceous armor—it truly maximized survival (gou). Wearing this armor, once in danger, one could dive underground and "merge with the earth."
In that case, enemies would have great difficulty finding and killing the wearer—at least most ninjas would.
In Naraku's view, the only drawback of this armor was that it wasn't very suitable for girls.
Because it was overall earthy yellow—but Naraku couldn't paint it. Painting would affect the Earth Assimilation effect.
