It turned out that Naruto was so upset because his weapon was about to break.
Ge Liang had said that the Elementary magic sword could be used three times for the Myriad Sword Art before being completely damaged.
However, Naruto's magic sword had only been used twice for the Myriad Sword Art, and it was already severely damaged, as if a little more force would completely break it.
For this reason, Naruto wanted Ge Liang to replace it with a new magic sword.
Of course, Ge Liang disagreed, so Naruto then asked Ge Liang to repair it.
Since the System didn't even have this function, it naturally couldn't be repaired.
Naruto only had himself to blame. The Elementary magic sword was already running the Myriad Sword Art under overload, and Naruto himself was pushing his Chakra to the limit. With both factors combined, the material of the Elementary magic sword naturally couldn't withstand it.
"I think you should just work hard on missions to earn money and buy..."
"Boom!"
Ge Liang originally wanted to motivate Naruto, telling him to work hard on missions to earn money and buy a new one, after all, Sasuke couldn't just buy him another one for no reason, right?
You can't be a scapegoat like that.
But before he could finish his sentence, a loud bang was heard.
"Hmm..."
Ge Liang looked in the direction of the sound and then silently calculated the days.
'To make such a commotion, it must be Itachi and Kisame.'
In the original work, Itachi and Kisame came to Konoha Village ostensibly for the Nine-Tailed, but secretly, Itachi returned to warn the Konoha high-ranking officials led by Danzo.
He wanted to tell them that he wasn't dead yet, so they shouldn't lay a hand on Sasuke.
Thinking of this, Ge Liang turned his head again, looking at Sasuke who was still playing games, wondering whether or not to tell him that Itachi had returned.
After a moment of thought, Ge Liang still didn't tell Sasuke, but instead said to Haku, "You open the shop, I'm going out for a bit."
With that, his Flying Sword unsheathed and flew into the sky.
"Uncle, don't go, I haven't finished what I was saying."
Clearly, Naruto wanted Ge Liang to compensate him for his losses.
It was clearly stated that the magic sword would only be completely damaged after three uses, but now it was on the verge of complete destruction after only two uses. Since it couldn't be repaired, there should at least be a discount when buying the next magic sword, right?
Feeling that the negotiation was not over, Naruto also drew his magic sword, carefully stepped on it, and followed behind Ge Liang.
"This kid..."
Looking at Naruto who followed, Ge Liang shook his head and didn't say much... At this moment, a battle was taking place in a small lake not far from Ge Liang's internet cafe.
Just like in the original work, the opposing sides were: Kurenai Yuhi VS Uchiha Itachi, and Asuma Sarutobi VS Kisame Hoshigaki.
However, unlike the original work, Kurenai Yuhi did not use genjutsu against Uchiha Itachi, but instead used Sword Control Incantation combined with martial arts for close-quarters combat.
Actually, Ge Liang never understood it when he watched the anime.
The Uchiha Clan, possessing the Sharingan, inherently had a certain resistance to genjutsu, let alone Uchiha Itachi, who possessed the Mangekyo Sharingan. Even if Kurenai didn't know Itachi's Sharingan was a Mangekyo, even a regular Three-Tomoe Sharingan couldn't be easily confused by ordinary genjutsu.
In the original work, when facing an opponent like Itachi, Kurenai Yuhi actually directly used genjutsu attacks. Where did she get the confidence to believe her genjutsu could affect someone from the Uchiha family?
The result, as everyone knows, was that she was taken down by Uchiha Itachi's genjutsu rebound.
Effortlessly, without any pressure.
The current Kurenai was much smarter than the Kurenai in the original work. Knowing that her Skilled genjutsu wouldn't work against Uchiha Itachi, she simply gave up on genjutsu and directly engaged in taijutsu.
It must be said that compared to Ninjutsu and genjutsu, taijutsu was indeed a weakness for Itachi.
However, it was only a weakness for himself; for ordinary Jonin, he was still as powerful as ever.
Indeed, relying on the Sword Control Incantation and Tai Chi Sword martial arts, Kurenai could only ensure she wouldn't be defeated. Defeating Itachi in a short time was truly impossible.
And this 'not being defeated' was just her illusion. Itachi wouldn't keep fighting her with taijutsu. Once Itachi grew tired of the taijutsu battle, that would be the moment Kurenai would fall.
There was no other way; the fundamental difference in strength between the two was too great. Even with additional power boosts, Kurenai would not be Itachi's opponent.
On the other hand, Asuma and Kisame were fighting neck and neck.
Compared to Kurenai, Asuma's weaknesses were much smaller. Besides his genjutsu being slightly weaker, he was in no way inferior to Kisame in both taijutsu and Ninjutsu.
Coincidentally, Kisame's genjutsu was also hard to describe, and his strengths were also taijutsu and Ninjutsu.
Therefore, the battle between the two was exhilarating and evenly matched.
Of course, while they appeared evenly matched on the surface, we all know that Kisame was known as the 'Tailless Tailed Beast,' and his Chakra levels were monstrous. If the battle dragged on, Asuma would definitely be the first to give out.
If they were fighting in another location, Kurenai and Asuma's defeat would only be a matter of time.
But where was this?
This was Konoha.
Even on the outskirts of Konoha, it was still part of Konoha Village's territory.
The last thing Kurenai and Asuma feared right now was stalling for time.
As long as they stalled until the rest of Konoha's Ninja arrived, no matter if it was Uchiha Itachi or Kisame Hoshigaki, they would all be captured!
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique."
Several minutes had passed since the two sides began fighting, and Konoha's reinforcements finally arrived.
Kakashi Hatake, standing on a Flying Sword, unleashed a Great Fireball Technique from above directly at Itachi.
Having no choice but to avoid the fireball attack, Itachi had to abandon Kurenai and chose to dodge.
And Kakashi, after spitting out a fireball, didn't stay idle. He jumped off the Flying Sword, sword in hand, and launched a family-inherited'sword' technique at Kisame.
"Lightning Cutter!"
Kisame reacted quickly, swinging his weapon Samehada to force Asuma back, then tried to take the opportunity to dodge.
However, at this moment, it seemed to be a little too late.
The reason this'sword' technique was called Lightning Cutter was primarily because of its speed.
'Pfft!'
Fortunately, Kisame made a dodging movement. Kakashi's attack only grazed a small bit of Kisame's flesh. If his reaction had been a little slower, he would probably have been cut in half by Kakashi.
'What's wrong with Konoha? Why does everyone have a long sword? And the material of these swords is very good, and they seem to be able to fly?'
Itachi wasn't too worried about Kisame's injury. He was just a bit strange. Whether it was Kurenai, Asuma, or Kakashi who had just arrived, they all carried a long sword.
Moreover, from the confrontation between Asuma and Kisame, it was clear that the sword's material must be excellent, otherwise it would have been cut off by Samehada long ago.
And, Kakashi just came down from the sky?
'This must be the wrong way for me to return to Konoha. Instead of being good Ninja, they're becoming samurai.'
Just as Itachi began to suspect if he had gone to the wrong place, Kakashi had finished'showing off' and had joined Asuma next to Kurenai, vigilantly watching Itachi.
