The feather chain disassembled into eighteen golden feathers, shooting out like darts. They pierced through several empty wooden crates stacked ten meters away in the courtyard with stunning accuracy and force.
Under Tsunade's astonished gaze—
The feathers, which had just flown out like projectiles, suddenly spun mid-air like boomerangs.
After sweeping through a graceful arc, they returned with precision—
Reforming the feather chain seamlessly as it landed back into Tsunade's palm.
"This is… chakra threads? But that's a technique exclusive to puppeteers, like those from Sunagakure!" Tsunade exclaimed, eyes widening in disbelief. "How am I even able to control it?"
Her shock was palpable. Even as she looked at the weapon, her gaze involuntarily shifted toward Tian Yu, filled with a mixture of awe and curiosity.
Because this weapon—
Was simply too unconventional!
"Well, I incorporated a chakra-conductive metal into the original structure," Tian Yu said with a grin, as if casually explaining a child's toy. "In theory, when you channel chakra into it, the weapon itself forms pseudo chakra threads, allowing you to manipulate all eighteen feathers like a chain."
"What?!"
Tsunade couldn't help but exclaim aloud.
"How did you even come up with such an ingenious mechanism? I've never seen any shinobi in the five great nations wield something so bizarre!"
Come up with it?
Of course, Tian Yu was relying on blueprints provided by the system.
While the feather chain was beautifully intricate and its aerial maneuvers difficult to predict—
In actual battle, its ability to transform unpredictably often allowed it to deliver sudden, lethal strikes, catching enemies off guard.
Still, Tian Yu already possessed numerous hidden weapons.
Though the sharpness of this weapon was impressive, in terms of destructive potential, it wasn't considered top-tier among his arsenal.
To him, it was simply a mid-level tool.
But to Tsunade, it carried a much deeper meaning.
Tian Yu gifted the feather chain to Tsunade for a specific and profound reason.
Yet rather than explain outright, he preferred to let her experience it firsthand.
From a cage in the corner of the courtyard,
He released a white rabbit used for medical and ninjutsu experiments.
The moment the cage door opened, the rabbit darted off in panic.
"Try condensing chakra into the chain, like how you form your chakra scalpel," Tian Yu instructed gently.
"Huh?"
Tsunade blinked in confusion—
But still followed his directions.
She coated the feather chain with the familiar green glow of her chakra scalpel, then flung the chain forward.
The golden feathers moved like a coordinated swarm—
Spreading out in multiple directions, they tracked the fleeing rabbit in perfect formation.
Slash!
Invisible chakra threads danced through the air,
Slicing through the space surrounding the rabbit mid-leap.
The rabbit suddenly froze, its limbs twitching faintly in mid-air—
And three seconds later,
It disintegrated into clean-cut pieces:
Head, forelegs, hind legs, and tail—
Each severed part fell neatly onto the grass at different angles,
As life left its body in an instant.
"Ah!"
Tian Tian yelped, hastily covering her eyes.
She wasn't unaccustomed to the sight of death, but this level of clinical, bloodless dissection—
It still felt brutal to watch.
Tsunade, too, had anticipated what would happen—
And instinctively closed her eyes right before the final cut.
After all, she still suffered from hematophobia—
Even the sight of a rabbit's blood made her uneasy.
"Open your eyes," Tian Yu said softly, his hand resting gently on Tsunade's shoulder. "Trust me, you won't be afraid."
Despite her trauma around blood,
Tsunade slowly opened her eyes, following Tian Yu's words.
Then, her pupils contracted sharply, and her breath caught.
"There's… no blood?"
The dismembered rabbit, lying in pieces on the ground, looked almost like a dissected toy.
She had expected blood to spurt wildly—perhaps even splatter onto her clothes.
But instead—
Where the flesh had been sliced, only thin red lines remained. There was no spray. No pools. No gore.
This defied everything she knew about anatomy.
How had she done that?
Noticing her baffled expression,
Tian Yu explained with a patient smile.
"This weapon's greatest advantage is one thing—extreme precision."
"You're still getting used to manipulating it, so the slices were a bit crude."
"But once you master fusing your chakra scalpel technique with this weapon—especially through practice in manipulating the chakra threads—your cuts will become surgical."
"One day, you'll throw this chain into a battlefield,
And thirty seconds later, your enemy's head will fall cleanly—
Without them even realizing what hit them.
By then, you'll have already left the scene. There won't even be blood to see."
There was a quiet pride in Tian Yu's voice
As he looked down at the feather chain he had crafted with his own hands. He turned to Tsunade.
"Well? I custom-forged this just for you—
A weapon that bypasses your fear of blood, yet strengthens your offensive abilities.
Do you like it?"
"…I do."
Tsunade lowered her head,
Her blond bangs drooping to hide her eyes.
No one could see her face clearly—
But Tian Tian noticed something: Tsunade's slender fingers, usually relaxed and composed,
Were clenched tightly into fists, her fingernails digging into her palms.
As if trying to suppress overwhelming emotion.
Then, without warning, Tsunade spun around,
Lifting her chin and walking away swiftly toward her quarters,
Leaving only her silhouette behind.
"I like this gift very much!" she called out without turning back.
"Tonight's performance—make sure I'm invited! Heh heh heh!"
And with that, she disappeared into her room.
But from the angle Tian Yu and Tian Tian couldn't see—
A single crystalline tear traced its way down Tsunade's cheek,
Even as an unconscious smile tugged at the corners of her lips.
Tch!
She was Princess Tsunade! One of the legendary Sannin of Konoha!
She wouldn't let anyone know—
That she, Tsunade Senju,
Had been moved to tears—
By a gift from that little brat, Tian Yu!
