Chapter 86 Kakashi's Chakra, Two White Fangs
"Ahem, there are no missions today or for the next two days. Go home and rest. Three days later, I will give you special training in swordsmanship when there are no missions!" Seeing the three of them embroiled in a money dispute, Kakashi made an excuse and slipped away.
He didn't care about such things; Ishikawa's injuries should recover with the help of the hospital in three days.
"Alright, alright, I give up! One thousand taels each, that's all I have." Ishikawa sighed helplessly as he watched Kakashi leave, looking at his two snot-nosed underlings.
He still needed to get the broken White Fang sword from Kakashi to reforge a chakra sword, so he didn't have time to waste on that.
"Thank you, brother." Taro and Jiro exchanged a glance, nodded with long faces, and agreed. A thousand taels was better than nothing.
Besides, they did indeed escape with their lives because of this, so we can't really let the older brother lose money and feel disheartened!
"See you in three days. Remember to bring a long sword." Ishikawa quickly pulled out two thousand taels of silver, handed it to the two men, and left without saying a word.
The moment he left, Ishikawa pretended to cover half of his face with his hand to hide his red eyes, but his X-ray vision was activated instantly.
Soon, Ishikawa spotted Kakashi leisurely buying illicit publications at a shop in Konoha through his red eyes.
[Is this Kakashi's chakra? It's surprisingly about ten times mine! However, even so, that Sharingan is constantly consuming his chakra, limiting him to about half of what he can directly use in battle.]
[That means Kakashi's true chakra level is 2 ka. So, should I let him touch the doorknob?] Ishikawa closed his red eyes and walked away, pondering to himself.
He had previously considered using Hashirama cells to help Kakashi balance his Sharingan, but that would have to wait until the time was right! Now that he knew the doorknob had the ability to eliminate rejection reactions, there was no need to go to such great lengths.
However, isn't it a bit too risky to do it now? Although we could find an opportunity to anesthetize Kakashi and secretly fuse the Sharingan while he's unconscious.
But how will he explain it afterward?
[Forget it, let's wait and see! Anyway, there's no rush. We can always use our cheat codes when the time is right.] When Ishikawa found Kakashi, his lips twitched as he looked at Kakashi's lewd appearance, and he made his decision.
"Huh? How did you know I was here??" Kakashi smiled sheepishly as he looked at his disciple Ishikawa and put away the Little Red Book with its rather revealing and wild cover.
Could this guy have used his spiritification technique to possess a stray dog and come looking for us again?
"That's not important, teacher." Ishikawa glanced disdainfully at the little red book that Kakashi had taken back before his gaze turned serious. "I want that broken sword, teacher, you promised me."
"That knife? You seem to be in a hurry..." Kakashi awkwardly touched his nose and immediately left the bookstore, which was not suitable for children.
"If you want it reforged, you can go to the Craftsman's Workshop in the southeast corner of the village. It's the only place in Konoha that can forge metal chakra ninja tools. By the way, if you don't have enough materials, you might have to melt down that chakra short sword from the Land of Craftsmen." Kakashi suddenly thought of something and said casually on the way.
"Thank you for reminding me, teacher." Ishikawa nodded in agreement, showing no reluctance about melting down the 100,000-ryo short sword.
He only needs one chakra blade; he doesn't practice dual-wielding, so having more wouldn't be of any use.
"By the way, do you still need me to help you continue contracting beasts?" Seeing that Ishikawa did not object, Kakashi couldn't help but ask, thinking of the eagle-snake that died in this mission.
"Not for now. I plan to try out a few more ninja beasts once I've grown a bit more," Ishikawa said, a glint in his eyes. With the aid of his red eyes, he didn't have much need for ordinary wild beasts at the moment.
Therefore, it's best to refine your approach and, while increasing your chakra, find some ninja beast blood contracts. At least ninja beasts can speak and use chakra, which is helpful to a certain extent.
“Alright, ordinary wild beasts aren’t a long-term solution.” Kakashi nodded in agreement. Anyway, if Ishikawa wanted to possess those few small animals to gather information, he didn’t need to worry about anything.
Soon, as the two chatted casually, Ishikawa arrived at Kakashi's house.
As expected, after rummaging through drawers and cabinets, Kakashi handed the broken White Fang sword to Ishikawa with a complicated expression.
He then waved Ishikawa away, and stayed home alone, looking at photos of the Minato team and lost in memories...
"Teacher, you've made me feel so ashamed!" Ishikawa glanced back at the melancholy Kakashi, muttered to himself, and walked away.
It's really inappropriate for him to hesitate in front of a teacher like that! Oh well, I'll just wait until their team disbands to help Kakashi get rid of the Sharingan's side effects.
Judging from the timeline, the Chunin Exams are just around the corner, and they don't have much time left...
One hour later.
"Damn it! You're charging me ten thousand taels just for helping with some processing? Why don't you just rob me?!" Ishikawa cursed angrily as he walked out of the crafts shop, his face full of pain.
The saying goes, "An inch longer, an inch stronger."
Since it was about reforging a chakra blade, Ishikawa naturally went for a one-step process and forged a long blade.
But 10,000 taels is just the labor cost; it doesn't include the cost of materials. According to the craftsman, if he were to forge the long sword and the chakra short sword, he would need to add some chakra metal, bringing the cost to at least 30,000 taels.
This made Ishikawa reluctantly give up the idea of forging today and prepare to go home to raise money.
As for how to raise the money? It seems that the only options now are to borrow from Kakashi or sell some of the ninja tools they have stockpiled to generate cash.
With a helpless expression, Ishikawa walked toward the Konoha Ninja Tool Shop to find out the current acquisition situation!
It was past 8 p.m. when Ishikawa dragged his tired body home.
Knowing the market value of ninja tools wouldn't require such effort, so after lunch, Ishikawa went to the grove to train in lightning nature transformation. That's why he was exhausted and only just got home now.
"I'll just wait until tomorrow to buy some ninja tools. What a hassle!" Ishikawa muttered as he casually placed the broken White Fang Blade on the table, grabbed a bath towel, and went into the bathroom.
After a quick and easy wash, feeling sleepy, Ishikawa changed into his pajamas and went straight to bed to rest in preparation for his evening studies.
He must complete the Palm Immortal Technique within these three days as much as possible, and then devote himself entirely to the training of the Lightning Armor and swordsmanship.
As midnight approached, "Ring ring..."
With a series of urgent ringing sounds, the time-traveling room reappeared.
"Ishikawa, I found...wait, this...this is White Fang?!" Nohara Rin, who had just appeared, was about to express her surprise when she noticed the bright white Fang broken sword on the table, and her expression changed drastically.
"What? Is there a problem?" Ishikawa asked, still a little dazed, as he got up.
It's just a white tooth, what's so surprising about it breaking?
"Look at this." Nohara Rin didn't explain and immediately took out the White Fang short sword that she had broken with the Rasengan earlier from her cabinet.
Looking at the dazed Ishikawa, Nohara Rin asked in a serious and tense tone, "Why, why are the broken marks on the two swords different in worlds that influence each other?"
