After three days, Shadow Stream finally trained a group of skilled weavers...
At the same time, he also harvested more than a hundred Samehada, and used the Uzumaki clan's contract sealing technique to make them into living weapons that can "communicate with the user's thoughts".
Hanyu held the fully completed "Samehada 2.0" in one hand. His arm strength was strong enough to easily control such a heavy weapon. Then he waved his arm and tried to swing Samehada for a while, and felt that there was no problem with the feel.
The salted fish was no longer as active as it had been three days ago, and Hanyu no longer had the feeling of holding a squirming living creature.
"Are you ready?"
Then, he asked this to an Uzumaki ninja who was standing not far in front of him.
The other party nodded first, then began to quickly form seals with his hands, and at the same time began to concentrate a large amount of chakra in order to release ninjutsu.
However, at this moment, Hanyu swung Samehada and slashed it in front of the Uzumaki ninja. The sharp spikes quickly cut through the air, making a buzzing sound.
As Samehada cut through him, the ninja felt his strength loosen, and the chakra he had just accumulated was forcibly stripped away in an instant... All this was seen more clearly by the perceiving ninja standing nearby. He could "see" the azure chakra emanating from the ninja being drawn away by Samehada in a very short period of time.
"Lord Hanyu, there is no problem." The sensing ninja then reported to Hanyu.
Hanyu nodded. As expected, the replica of Samehada inherited the most important attribute of the original. The development work that took several years was a complete success. Hanyu had now completed the acceptance work for this batch of Samehada.
As for whether Samehada can still possess the ability to return the absorbed chakra to its owner, although this is also very important, it can be left for later and tried slowly - anyway, the new generation of Samehada bound by the sealing technique cannot be as cunning as its original body.
Although they are equally ferocious in nature, there is definitely no chance that the new Samehada will rebel during a battle.
The success of the Samehada breeding program was actually expected. At least it cannot be said that Hanyu was just lucky... Firstly, they are replicas of Samehada, and the same genetic information determines that they will most likely inherit Samehada's characteristics; secondly, Orochimaru's technology is very trustworthy, and it is difficult to find a more rigorous researcher than him in the whole world; thirdly, Hanyu invested a large amount of Nine-Tails' chakra, and although it would be a waste if the chakra was idle, there is always a reward for hard work.
However, although the Shadow Stream has obtained a large number of Samehada, and in theory they are all very practical and powerful ninja tools, the problem is that the use of such weapons requires special training, and it is even more difficult to master them - for ninjas who pursue lightness, playing with such heavy weapons like door panels is definitely much more difficult than learning to use a kunai.
Even ordinary ninjas may not have the strength required to use Samehada.
Like the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of Kirigakure, almost all of them were ninjas specially trained from childhood.
Therefore, to what extent Samehada 2.0 can be used depends on how the Konoha ninjas use them.
With so many weapons, it was impossible for Hanyu to keep them all in Shadow Stream, so he picked an integer and kept fifty of them, and donated the rest to the village... to prevent the village committee from always thinking that Shadow Stream only took money but did nothing.
With such a weapon and if the right user could be selected, it could even be said that Konoha's overall strength on the regional battlefield would be enhanced.
Konoha can form a brigade of berserkers, which can be called the "70 Ninja Swordsmen". If there is a chance, they can exchange experiences with the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of Kirigakure... But the problem is that Kirigakure doesn't seem to have seven swords anymore.
Hanyu didn't feel that he had lost anything by sending these things away. As a Konoha ninja, he always had that kind of dedication... Well, anyway, in another fifty years, his Shadow Stream wouldn't be able to have fifty ninjas who could fully utilize Samehada. Leaving so many weapons behind was a waste in itself. It would not be good if the base was filled with the smell of salted fish.
Can we still expect a large number of geniuses comparable to Hatake Sakumo to appear among the Shadow Stream, who can use several Samehada swords to master the two-sword style, three-sword style, and eight-sword style?
Oh, considering the talent, it is possible that Sakumo's son could do such a thing. Then Hanyu could reserve eight swords for him. If he is not able to use them at the same time or his skills are not sophisticated enough, he can be beaten to death.
…
Hanyu put on a new Samehada and turned around to the office of the Third Hokage.
Konoha's vanguard has already entered the Land of Rain. Since it was not included in their plan, Hanyu was not in a position to inquire about the specific size of this vanguard, but considering the number of people dispatched by Sunagakure, Konoha would definitely make an appropriate response.
Now the Third Hokage is busy dealing with various war issues. Not only the battle situation on the front line, but also materials, supplies, medical care, logistics, etc. are all issues he has to consider.
At a time like this, no one would come to him just to chat with the Third Hokage.
So when Hanyu arrived at the office, he immediately slapped the Samehada on the Hokage's desk and explained his purpose in a simple and clear manner.
After hearing what Hanyu said, the Third Hokage's eyelids twitched.
He stood up, then lifted Samehada with one hand to examine it... Naruto must be able to handle this thing, and he must be better than Hanyu, after all, he himself uses that kind of black, thick and long heavy weapon to fight.
Playing with knives and fish is nothing. The Third Hokage has been practicing Kongo since 20 years ago.
"I heard that you got the Kirigakure's ninja sword before, but I didn't expect you to copy it without making any noise."
The Third Hokage couldn't help but marvel at Hanyu's divergent thinking.
For the wealthy Konoha, a handful of Samehada is actually nothing, but if there are nearly a hundred of them, it is a different story... They are things that can come in handy in the current war.
"The Shadow Stream left a portion behind, and the remaining weapons will be handed over to the village for use later... If it's a question of quantity, relying on Orochimaru's technology, they can have as many as they want, but too many is not necessary.
After all, even in Konoha, it is unlikely to find so many users." Hanyu said.
It's not that Hanyu looks down on the ninjas of Konoha, but the weapon Samehada itself is something that conflicts with the agility of the ninja. It is unrealistic for everyone to have a Samehada, otherwise the ninja would not be a ninja.
What's more…
Let the Nine-Tailed Fox go. Ever since it fell into Hanyu's hands, it has been eating grass and drinking milk all these years.
