"This is just a special, ordinary ninja sword." A black short-haired researcher in a white lab coat observed the data, shook his head, and said, "It is impossible for it to possess such powerful strength."
"But the fact is, anyone who uses it has displayed powerful strength." A brown long-haired researcher next to him sighed helplessly and said, "You must have heard about that area of sea near the Land of Whirlpools, and the small village within the Land of Fire. The entire world was frozen."
"And such immense power all flowed from this ninja sword."
"Impossible, impossible." The black short-haired researcher stroked his chin, frowned with a thoughtful expression, and finally still believed his own judgment was correct, saying, "I still think it's impossible."
After thousands of experiments and thousands of analyses, the results all indicated that this ninja sword was not that powerful. Also...
The data before him could not deceive him!
"Should we take that ninja sword apart and have a look?"
As a researcher, his curiosity to explore unsolved mysteries was burning fiercely.
"No." The brown long-haired researcher helplessly spread his hands and said, "It's worth tens of billions. What if something goes wrong if we take it apart?"
The higher-ups would skin them alive.
And also...
"I heard it's because of a soul issue."
He said thoughtfully, "They say this sword has a sword spirit. Only by awakening the sword spirit and gaining its recognition can one possibly obtain unmatched power."
"..."
So, the reason this sword is so weak now is because of its soul?
The black short-haired researcher helplessly sighed and said, "I think perhaps it's because the owner was too powerful?"
Otherwise, why, after studying it for so long, have they not discovered anything strange about such a powerful ninja sword?
So...
They must use the materialist dialectical view of scientific development to look at the problem!
"Those are just lies they told us."
"This..." The brown long-haired researcher, upon hearing this, pondered for a moment and said, "It's also possible, but, such powerful strength..."
It was truly unbelievable.
"It's better than saying a ninja sword has a soul." The black short-haired researcher said irritably, "I find that even more unbelievable."
As soon as the words fell...
"Beep!"
A sharp, piercing alarm sounded in the research institute...
The two researchers looked at each other, then exclaimed simultaneously, "Enemy attack!!"
...
"A joint research institute of the three great ninja villages?" Fugaku revealed a cold smile at the corner of his mouth and murmured, "How ridiculous."
He, as a high-ranking official of the Land of Whirlpools, knew very well what this legendary ninja sword was... wasn't it just...
The mass-produced scientific ninja sword of the Land of Whirlpools?
Especially after learning that both Uchiha Shin and Tendo Pain were Lord Jun... needless to say...
This show was put on for the five great ninja villages.
He estimated that those people had long been suspicious, but didn't dare to continue suspecting. After all, they had spent so much money, watched so many shows, and were just waiting for it to appreciate in value. If someone suddenly told you that you were going to lose your investment, and lose it all completely, would you believe it?
You would definitely think others were spreading rumors, wanting to kill them, and then sit back and wait for the value to rise...
Especially Konoha...
Kiri's debt hasn't even been repaid yet!
If they heard it was fake at this time, they probably would never get the debt repaid.
Uchiha Fugaku easily infiltrated the research institute established by the three great ninja villages in the Land of Rain. Last time, Yahiko also sent a message back to the Land of Whirlpools, saying that the three great ninja villages had established colonies in the Land of Rain, making it difficult for him to truly unify the Land of Rain, and asked what they planned to do?
But at that time...
Lord Jun was already gone.
This was a good opportunity to destroy the research institute of the three great ninja villages here, making it easier for Yahiko to act later.
However...
Not long after...
The defense ninja from the five great ninja villages stationed here quickly reacted and rushed to the scene. Seeing the yellow spiral mask and those Mangekyo Sharingan...
Their eyes widened instantly, looking at the intruder with utter disbelief.
Damn it!
Didn't the Third Tsuchikage say that Uchiha Shin was Madara Uchiha?
Then who is this person before them?
They knew that Madara Uchiha had long been dead, with statues and stone tablets erected in the Land of Whirlpools!
"Who... are you?!" A Konoha ninja stepped forward, his eyes focused, and said in a low voice, "What are you doing here?"
"Hmph!" Uchiha Fugaku, wearing his mask, listened to the Konoha ninja's question and snorted disdainfully, saying indifferently, "What do you think I'm here for?"
"..."
How the hell should I know...
The ninja, who originally intended to curse inwardly, seemed to remember something...
He looked at the masked Mangekyo with a face full of fear and uncertainty. If he really was Uchiha Shin, then...
The legendary ninja sword!!
He only had one purpose for coming here, and that was to obtain the legendary ninja sword!
"Anbu, take the ninja sword and leave." The Konoha ninja quickly turned his head to look at the short black-haired ninja wearing a mask and shouted loudly, "You must escort it back to Konoha!"
"Understood." The short black-haired ninja nodded, then looked at the other Anbu ninja with him and said, "Move out!"
The ninja from Iwagakure and Sunagakure nearby, hearing the Konoha ninja's words, glanced at each other and nodded slightly.
At a time like this...
If they didn't stir the waters, then when would they?
They knew there was never true friendship between ninja villages.
Since that was the case...
Why not take this opportunity to bring the ninja sword back to their own village?
After this, Konoha would definitely not take the ninja sword out again. Moreover, after studying it for so long, they still hadn't gained any results...
If they brought the ninja sword back to their village now, and if a ninja from their village managed to awaken the sword, their village would definitely become the most powerful ninja village!!
Then...
The ninja from the three great villages all began to act!
"Haha!" Uchiha Fugaku laughed wildly behind his mask, "Do you think trash like you can stop me?"
You must know...
He came here today to kill!
Forming hand seals with his hands...
"Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique."
The Uchiha clan's signature, never-hits-anyone fireball technique instantly erupted...
Instantly, the narrow space became even more scorching hot!!
"Everyone, dodge!" A Konoha ninja shouted loudly, "Hurry!"
The person before them was a legendary powerhouse!
Especially with those legendary eyes...
He estimated even the Third Hokage couldn't defeat him...
As soon as the words fell...
Everyone used their own defensive ninjutsu to resist the attack!
"Boom!"
With a loud roar, after the dust settled...
"Pfft!"
A Konoha ninja looked down in disbelief at the kunai stabbed into his chest...
"First one!" Uchiha Fugaku pulled out the ninja sword and murmured calmly, "We don't need that many to go back and deliver the message!"
The rest...
They will all stay here!
