Chapter 74 Special Kunai and "Acquaintance"
It is better to meet by chance than to invite each other. The group of seven people just happened to have a meal together at the barbecue Q.
Qianhe was still the one to treat. After becoming a Genin, he had done missions for several months and now he had some savings.
After the meal, Ayane suggested going to the food street, and Qianhe naturally agreed.
With her appetite, she ate so ladylike just now, obviously she was only half full.
Quan did not agree immediately, but looked at Itachi beside him, asking for his opinion.
Itachi was going to go home to tease Sasuke, but looking at Quan's expectant eyes, he nodded.
Seeing that Quan and Itachi both agreed, Qianhe looked at Gekkou Hayate and Uzuki Yugao.
Uzuki Yugao was a little moved. Since Hayate became a Genin, they had very little time to meet, and usually Hayate was obsessed with sword practice.
"Ahem... I won't go. I feel like my Three-Day Moon Dance has hit a bottleneck. I need to practice harder.
Besides, I just got my newly customized sword, so I need to get familiar with it as soon as possible.
Xiyan, you go with them."
Moonlight Gale coughed a few times, shook his head and refused, and finally asked Mao Yue Xiyan and Qianhe to go shopping together.
Hearing what Moonlight Gale said, Mao Yue Xiyan's face did not change, but her eyebrows raised, and the corners of her mouth drooped slightly. Looking at Itachi, Quan, Qianhe, and Caiyin in pairs, and then looking at the unromantic Gale, she felt a little unhappy and wanted to refuse.
"Anyway, there's nothing to do, let's go shopping together." Qianhe smiled, and then winked at Karin. Seeing this, Karin hurried over and hugged Mao Yue Xiyan's arm, pulling her along.
Moonlight Gale showed gratitude on his face, nodded to Qianhe, and then turned and left.
......
Happy times always pass quickly. After walking for more than an hour and eating all over the street, everyone went back to their homes.
Halfway through the journey, Qianhe remembered something. The kunai he ordered half a month ago should have been completed. Now he has to go pick it up. It may be too late to pick it up tomorrow.
Thinking of this, Qianhe said to Ayane beside him: "Ayane, I have something else to do. Can you help me send Karin back first?"
"What is it? You are not going to find the beautiful lady you just met today, are you?" Ayane said sourly.
Qianhe shook his head and laughed, "Huh? Am I that kind of person? I am going to pick up my customized ninja tools now. If you don't believe me, both of you can come with me."
"Humph, Karin, let's go home." Ayane snorted lightly, and didn't say whether she believed it or not. She shook her pigtail, turned her head and pulled Karin towards Qianhe's home.
Qianhe watched the two disappear at the corner of the street, and he walked towards Mandiantang.
Passing by several shops, he glanced at the wall clock inside. It was now 7:20 p.m., and Mandiantang usually closed at 8 p.m. Although he had enough time, Qianhe didn't want to go at the time when others closed, so he quickened his pace.
Soon he came to the door of Mandiantang. The door was half-open, but the lights were bright inside, obviously not closed in advance.
Qianhe walked in quickly and saw that Jack, the owner of Mandiantang, was wiping the ninja tools on the counter with a cloth towel. The action was cautious, as if it was a treasure.
At this time, hearing footsteps, Jack turned around.
"Good evening, uncle." Qianhe smiled and greeted.
"It's Qianhe, are you here to pick up the custom kunai?" Qianhe has come to buy ninja tools from time to time for several months, and the boss is familiar with him.
"Yes, uncle, is it ready?"
"It was ready two days ago, and I've been waiting for you to pick it up!"
Jack put down the cloth and ninja tools in his hand, bent down and found a scroll under the counter, and then handed the scroll to Qianhe:
"This is the special kunai you customized, a total of 100, please count the number."
"Okay." Qianhe took the scroll, injected chakra into it, and then poured out all the special kunai stored in it.
Looking at the full of special kunai similar to tridents on the counter, Qianhe counted the number.
"1, 2, 38, 99, 100, just right!"
As he said, Qianhe put six of the kunai into his ninja tool bag, and put the other ninety-four back into the storage scroll.
Generally, the length of kunai is about 18-20 cm and the weight is about 60 grams. It is no problem to carry more than a dozen at a time.
The length of the special kunai is about 25-28 cm, comparable to a small dagger, and the weight of the special kunai is more than three times that of the ordinary kunai, about 200 grams.
This is a special kunai specially customized by Qianhe for the Flying Thunder God Technique.
Although using ordinary kunai does not affect using Flying Thunder God, the advantages of using special kunai are also very obvious.
Ordinary kunai is forged from pig iron, which has the properties of hardness, wear resistance, and good castability, but pig iron is brittle and cannot be forged.
In simple terms, ordinary kunai is easy to wear out quickly, while special kunai is mixed with other metals, which increases the toughness, sharpness and weight of the kunai.
Kunai itself is used for sneak attacks, and the increase in weight will inevitably lead to an increase in physical consumption, and also affect the speed of the kunai.
But after Qianhe learned the Flying Thunder God Technique, the role of kunai has been greatly enhanced.
The special kunai is heavier, so it is easier to fix after being thrown. It is not easy to be damaged after its toughness is increased. Its sharpness is increased, making it more powerful in close combat. Its length allows it to be used as a dagger. When combined with Chihe's Konoha-style swordsmanship in close combat, it is even more powerful.
Ordinary kunai wears out too quickly and has a short lifespan, so they need to be replaced frequently. In the long run, it is more cost-effective to buy special kunai.
In addition, aren't special kunai more handsome than ordinary kunai?
After collecting the kunai, Qianhe asked, "Uncle, how much are these in total?"
"A total of 12,000 taels."
"Here." Qianhe took out eleven 1,000 tael bills and put them on the counter.
Ordinary kunai is about 30 taels per piece, and special kunai is indeed much more expensive. In addition to the storage scroll money, the average special kunai costs more than 100 taels.
"Brother, this special kunai is big and heavy, and it is much more laborious to use than ordinary kunai. What do you buy so many for?" Jack seemed to ask casually, with curiosity on his face.
"I use it to learn special ninjutsu." Qianhe smiled.
When he came to the boss with the design sketch, the boss directly took out several finished special kunai that were left over from previous sales, and mentioned that some customers had customized special kunai before.
The one who bought this kind of kunai knew it was the Fourth Hokage without thinking, so Qianhe didn't need to hide anything.
Hearing Qianhe's answer, the boss' pupils shrank, and he looked thoughtful.
Then, he pushed back the money Qianhe paid for two thousand taels and said, "This time I will only charge you the cost price."
"Thank you very much, uncle." Qianhe was slightly stunned, and then smiled and stuffed the two thousand taels back into the wallet.
Before leaving, Qianhe glanced at the 'Mo Lei' knife hanging on the wall and smiled, "Boss, remember to keep this knife for me, I will get enough money to buy it soon."
"Okay! Definitely!"
After arriving home, Qianhe began to make the special technique of Flying Thunder God Technique and then printed it on the special kunai.
After making fifty in a row, Qianhe stopped, so many were enough for the time being.
Then he began to get familiar with the new kunai.
He placed the special kunai in the bathroom, kitchen, bedroom, and living room at home, and then moved four times in less than a second.
......
The next day.
August 24.
Qianhe came to the village gate early to gather.
Under the introduction of Kawashima Kaede, he met the client of this mission.
Qianhe looked at the gray-haired man in front of him and felt familiar. He was wearing a beige and brown coat and a headscarf. His appearance and dress were clearly...
