Chapter 117: Life-Extension Stone Thoughts, Haki Seed Production, Nuclear Radiation Blade "Nuclear" Forged – A+ Grade Weapon
The Life-Extension Stone—extends lifespan by 10 years with no side effects?
For someone like Naraku who's only in his teens, this item isn't very useful, but for certain people its effect would be enormous.
Since it was drawn, could it also be used as weapon material?
What would the effect be then? One slash adds lifespan?
In the end Naraku decided to keep it for now and study it properly when he had time.
Naraku checked his remaining balance—over 6,000 Reputation points left.
After finishing the lottery, Naraku prepared to first ready the "tribute" for the two villages. He decided to give the Haki Seeds to the Third Raikage—let this man who could go toe-to-toe with the Eight-Tails Gyūki make the strongest spear even harder!
This way Sarutobi Hiruzen wouldn't lack opponents, and that kid Nawaki should wake up soon too.
If Konoha became too strong and Sarutobi Hiruzen decided to halt forging of the Guardian Divine Machine [Supreme Throne] to come see what Naraku was really hiding—
Then he'd be in a bit of trouble. Yes—just a bit.
By now Naraku's accumulation was enough for him to stand on his own in the ninja world even after leaving Konoha.
Naraku immediately began producing Haki Seeds, using the same method as last time.
After drawing secret technique curse seals on the Haki Cells, he roasted them with fire while hammering fiercely.
He kept hammering until each Haki Seed reached 5 cm in diameter.
Midway Naraku considered what would happen if he directly fused high-concentration uranium-235 into the Haki Seeds.
But in the end he gave up—he feared that once forged, the host would drop dead on the spot after consuming it.
A complete waste of his materials.
Meanwhile, the system had already provided a good method for high-concentration uranium-235: forge powerful equipment and pair it with protective gear.
This way a Nuclear Release ninja would be born.
Even just clashing with enemies could trigger various symptoms in them—including systemic symptoms, skin symptoms, immune system symptoms, blood system symptoms, genetic system symptoms, etc.
It could even turn Sharingan into pink eye and Byakugan into cataracts.
Just thinking about these effects felt terrifying.
Of course, mutations from nuclear radiation weren't always negative—Marvel had the saying "a loser relies on mutation." Maybe someone with insane luck could turn a kekkei genkai mutation into an even higher-level kekkei genkai?
(Humble author requests readers: in reality, please do not think about exposing yourself to nuclear radiation to gain beneficial mutations! Such mutations are only possible in microbial cultivation—under a terrifying base number of microorganisms can a tiny fraction obtain beneficial mutations. Even beneficial mutations may have side effects, e.g., your member growing to 100 cm—stronger, but inconvenient for daily life and heavy when wrapped around your waist.)
Just thinking about the potential made Naraku impatient to forge a nuclear radiation weapon.
But considering its extreme danger, he decided to forge it elsewhere.
Using the Dimensional Array, Naraku arrived at an uninhabited location in the Land of Fire.
After thinking for a moment, Naraku decided to forge underground. He created 10 Wood Clones.
Using Earth Release he carved out a cubic empty space underground, then formed the room's outer shell with steel—leaving only a small opening.
Because in his previous life Naraku had heard that heavy metals like lead and steel—with high atomic number and density—could effectively absorb and shield X-rays and gamma rays.
Finally Naraku stood outside the room and first set down the other materials needed for forging. After releasing the high-concentration uranium-235 and uranium-235 protective equipment, he immediately sealed the exit and returned to the surface.
At this point Naraku's Wood Clone No. 1 immediately controlled the protective equipment to suppress the nuclear radiation. The other clones began taking out Orihalcon steel, fine iron, and other materials to start melting.
Actually Naraku had initially considered incorporating biological materials, but he ultimately gave up—considering uranium-235's extreme radiation would affect the stability of biological materials.
Naraku planned to reference the curse seal forging of One-Cut Certain Kill [Muramasa] to create a ninja sword. Although lacking biological materials, some concepts from One-Cut Certain Kill [Muramasa] were still applicable.
So Clone No. 1 applied curse seals similar to One-Cut Certain Kill [Muramasa] on the uranium-235.
After Clone No. 2 finished melting the Orihalcon steel, it directly placed the high-concentration uranium-235 and uranium-235 protective equipment into the center, hammering out a core.
Then the remaining fine iron and Orihalcon steel were poured over the core and hammered into a blade blank.
Finally, under the cooperation of all the clones, an evil blade emitting a faint green glow was forged.
Ding...
[Congratulations to the forger for creating A+ grade ninja sword!]
Afterward the clone outside retrieved the ninja sword and completely melted down the forging room. Soon the ninja sword arrived in Naraku's hands.
By now the sword was well-controlled. Combined with Naraku's Weapon Sovereignty, the radiation from this weapon no longer affected Naraku.
Looking at the sword's appearance, Naraku immediately decided to name it Nuclear.
Naraku then appraised the blade:
[Nuclear (A+): This sword was forged entirely by the cowardly forger's Wood Clones, mainly referencing forging techniques related to One-Cut Certain Kill [Muramasa]. Ultimately, under the powerful forging skill of the forger's clones, the blade's quality reached A+. Blade length 1.2 meters, single-edged. Possesses "sturdy," "sharp," and "radiation" traits, can smoothly conduct chakra and other energies. Skills:
Blood-Contact Radiation: After this weapon cuts and draws blood, powerful radiation flows into the enemy's body through the wound. Depending on luck, individual strength, and amount of radiation received, various terrifying side effects form—some of which may last a lifetime. (Including but not limited to the following side effects: i. Severe vomiting, fatigue, mucosal ulcers, bleeding, hair loss, fever, and diarrhea; ii. Formation of various cancers; iii. Reproductive system damage, causing mutations in reproductive cells—thereby increasing risks of infertility, miscarriage, fetal deformities, etc.; iv. Psychological problems such as depression, anxiety disorders, etc.; v. Leukemia; vi. Gradual body deformation)
Radiation Field: Injecting chakra creates powerful radiation around surrounding enemies; specific range depends on chakra amount. At this time enemies receive a weakened version of Blood-Contact Radiation effects—but if exposure lasts long enough, enemies can still suffer effects no less than Blood-Contact Radiation.
Release Combination: Can combine conventional Releases (such as Water Release, Fire Release) with radiation to cause enhanced damage to enemies.
Destruction: Injecting chakra removes all restrictions on the radiation weapon—at this time radiation intensity can be greatly strengthened.
Mutation: After absorbing excessive radiation, the target may undergo benign or malignant mutations. Debuff:
Although protected by control equipment, the user will still slowly receive excessive radiation and ultimately die from radiation.]
