Chapter 409

Konoha's frontline camp in the Land of Grass.

After annihilating the Sand raid team, Maple didn't plan to do any more exploration in the Land of Rain. Although Nagato's Rinnegan is something that he cares about, it's not something that he can pay attention to right now.

After all, Uchiha Madara is still alive and monitoring the Shinobi World, and Nagato is also under surveillance. It's not a good thing to get in touch with the secrets behind this world early.

"It's Maple, it seems that he succeeded."

Orochimaru was studying something in the camp, and when he saw Maple coming in, he noticed the Kusanagi sword hanging on Maple's waist and smiled.

Maple nodded and said: "Sensei, your information is completely accurate."

Orochimaru stared at the Kusanagi sword hanging on Maple's waist for a few seconds and said: "Can you show me the Kusanagi sword?"

Maple pulled out the Kusanagi sword and handed it to Orochimaru.

Orochimaru took the Kusanagi sword and observed it with great interest for a moment, then injected a wisp of chakra into it and waved it twice, "There is no problem, it is indeed the Tenbu sword."

Maple asked thoughtfully: "How many Kusanagi swords are there in total?"

Kusanagi sword is not the name of a sword, but the collective name of many swords.

He has heard of the name Tenbu sword before, and in his impression, it should be the one in Sasuke's hand. Orochimaru's words also confirmed his previous guess.

Orochimaru handed Tenbu sword to Maple and said with a light smile:

"According to the legend, there were a total of eleven Kusanagi swords, but eight of them were lost, so there are only three left, but this rumor can't be verified, so now there are only three."

"They are Tenbu sword, Tenbu sword, and Jukken sword."

Regarding Orochimaru's answer, Kaede wasn't very surprised, because this was all the information he knew. The only thing he was surprised about was that the existence of Orochimaru's sword was only confirmed to be the three that appeared in the original work and nothing else.

Orochimaru continued with a smile, "The Tenbu sword is with me, you have seen it, it has the power to freely change its length, and it can be freely controlled by its master."

"The one you have is Tenbu sword, its characteristics are extremely tough and sharp, and it is extremely suitable for carrying the flow of Chakra, basically it can adapt to all ninjutsu."

"The last one is the Sword of Ten Fists, also known as the Wine Cutter Tachi. According to the records, it is a sword with the ability to seal everything it pierces …"

Maple was clear about this information.

His finger gently swept over the blade of the sword.

Among the three Kusanagi swords, the Jukken sword's sealing technique is a threat to him, the Tenbu sword is a bit fancy, but the Tenbu sword in his hand is the most suitable for him.

From the battle with Pakura, Kuroto felt that the Tenbu sword's ability to carry Lightning Release Chakra is even higher than the White Fang sword!

The so-called bearing capacity is the degree of wear and tear.

If an ordinary Kunai is infused with Lightning Chakra, due to the poor quality of the material used, the Lightning Chakra can only be used at most 20 to 30 percent of its power.

But for the White Fang sword, infused with Lightning Chakra, it can display almost 70 to 80 percent of its power. This kind of Chakra utilization efficiency is close to that of a Ninjutsu.

The Tenbu sword is even stronger!

It can reach almost 90 percent of its power, and the wear and tear is negligible!

This is one of the reasons why Maple was able to use the 'Yōgaku' technique after obtaining this sword, even though his Kenjutsu was affected, he was still able to use the 'Yōgaku' technique.

Although his Kenjutsu was affected, the efficiency of his Chakra increased, so the overall impact on his strength was almost the same.

"So that's how it is …"

Although Maple already knew what Orochimaru said, he still responded with a look of understanding.

The corner of Orochimaru's mouth rose slightly, and he said, "That Kusanagi sword also happens to be suitable for your technique, but you may have to make some changes to your Kenjutsu technique."

Maple nodded, and said, "Yes, changing from a short sword to a long sword is indeed a bit difficult, but since it's the same type of weapon, it shouldn't be too difficult to make some changes."

Changing from a short sword to a long sword is only a change in length, it doesn't change into a sleeve-spike, hammer, or any other strange weapon.

Therefore, changing Hatake Kenjutsu technique to Hatake Kenjutsu doesn't require him to completely abandon all his previous experience, he only needs to make some minor improvements.

Men are better at manipulating the length of a sword.

"I believe that with your talent, Maple, you'll soon be able to make the necessary changes."

Orochimaru chuckled, and said, "Did you encounter any other problems in the Land of Rain?"

Originally, it was just a casual question.

Because looking at the speed at which Maple returned, the journey should have been very smooth, and he didn't encounter any accidents.

However, after asking this question, he saw a thoughtful expression on Maple's face, as if he was organizing his words, and said, "This …"

A moment later.

Orochimaru looked at the pile of metal nameplates on the table, and a stunned expression appeared on his face.

After Maple threw the metal nameplates on the table, he spread his hands and said to Orochimaru, "… That's the general situation."

There was a moment of silence in the tent.

The two Konoha Jonin standing next to him fell into a daze at this time.

At a rough glance, there were at least a hundred of these metal nameplates, and if they weren't forged, that meant that Maple killed nearly a hundred Sand ninjas by himself?!

Even if all of them were Genin, this number was still a bit scary.

"… If the situation is as you judged, your merit this time will be even greater than the previous battle."

After a few seconds, Orochimaru said faintly.

Alone, he killed a Sand ninja who tried to bypass the Land of Rain and sneak attack the rear of Konoha's frontline camp. Just with this battle alone, he can already be regarded as a hero!

Feng Ye didn't reveal any expression of pride or the like as he said,

"It was just a coincidence."

To him, all the achievements he made on this battlefield were nothing. The only thing that mattered was the improvement of his strength.

"Right, there is also this."

Speaking until here, Maple threw a scroll to Orochimaru and said: "I collected a little blood sample of that Burn Release ninja, Sensei, you should want it."

In normal times, Orochimaru would naturally be very interested in Kekkei Genkai samples, but since he learned about Maple's ability, his desire to study other Kekkei Genkai has decreased a lot.

However, he has a hobby of collecting.

The blood sample of the Burn Release ninja happens to be one of the samples he lacks.

"Very well done, I will convey the situation to the village."

Orochimaru took the scroll and said with a smile: "By the way, a day ago, Sandaime-sama ordered you to go to the frontline camp in the Land of Wind, you can set off now."

Maple shrugged helplessly and said: "I haven't even caught my breath yet, and I'm already on the move again."

He wasn't surprised by this order.

Unless Minato suddenly breaks out and sweeps through the Sand Ninja Village, as long as the situation is in a stalemate, Kuroto will most likely be dispatched to the Ninja Village.

In fact, he wants to leave the battlefield for a while and find a quiet place to practice for a while, but doing so during the war is equivalent to defecting, and he doesn't want to leave Konoha yet.

On the one hand, it's because of Kakashi, Kurenai, and the others.

On the other hand, the biggest threat to him in the Shinobi World right now is the Minato Minato of Konoha, except for the half-dead Uchiha Madara, and the Flying Thunder God is a very annoying ability.

And he also has some plans for staying in Konoha.

"You killed a Sand Ninja unit, so it's fine to take a break and wait for new instructions from the village."

Orochimaru put away the scroll and said with a smile.

Feng Ye exhaled and said, "Then I'll go rest first."
