The Strongest Hokage

The three Kusanagi sword got naturally suspended in front of Naito, it seemed as if there was a magnetic field between them, if Naito didn’t just force the gourd to get back to his hand, they would have collided directly.

When he had the two Kusanagi swords before, he felt some connection between them, but now after he got the third one, that connection got stronger.

Naito let the two other Kusanagi swords float in the air, while he took the third to study it carefully.

The Totsuka sword had the ability to seal the enemies, but after it seals them, what happens to them?!

If you break this gourd, will these enemies get released?

This what he was thinking about, but Naito wasn’t gonna do it, after all of this hard work he put into collecting them all, Naito was just trying to understand the composition of the Totsuka Sword.

The sword has established a new connection with Naito, the Totsuka Sword had it’s own conscious, it could convey some of its emotions to Naito. However, it wasn’t really a living thing.

Its awareness was so simple, it’s not even comparable to some small animals.

But this was good enough; actually, this is was amazing, a magical thing, it as if it’s connected to Naito’s own soul.

Perhaps the sword wasn’t just sealing enemies into the gourd, maybe it was also refining the user’s soul!

Whom!!

The three swords were trembling as if they were bagging Naito to let them go.

After he kept looking at the Totsuka sword in his hand, he finally, did.

Ding!!

The moment he let go of the sword, it suddenly flew out, and the other two Kusanagi sword reached over and got directly sucked into the gourd as if they got sealed into it!

This scene was kind of confusing to Naito.

Naito didn’t even know how to release the sealed things inside the gourd, and now it actually eats the two other swords?!

Suddenly, a strange wave of ripples broke out.

The moment the Totsuka Sword swallowed the two other Kusanagi sword, it conveyed a ‘HUNGRY’ thought to Naito, the former felt extraordinary energy at that moment around the Totsuka sword.

To be more accurate, it wasn’t strange to Naito.

Natural Energy!

The Totsuka sword can actually absorb the natural energy itself?!

This change in the event made Naito stunned, he couldn’t help but keep looking at the sword and how it was absorbing the natural energy.

The gourd kept absorbing the energy, but something seemed different about.

It wasn’t just absorbing it, the energy was actually blending with the sword!

Moreover, the Totsuka sword awareness after it swallowed the two other Kusanagi sword got even stronger.

After long scrutiny, Naito finally realized it.

“It turns out that… These three swords are originally one?”

Looking at the Totsuka sword in the air floating and constantly absorbing natural energy, Naito couldn’t help but whisper these words.

The purpose of the Kusanagi Clan to forge these swords, wasn’t so they can be separated, but to make a magical weapon, a one that can be as strong as the Sixth Path’s Weapons!

However, the Kusanagi Clan weren’t the ancestors of the Six Path, and they didn’t have that kind of power, it was impossible for them to forge such a weapon directly.

Therefore, they tried another method, which forced them to separate these swords.

The Totsuka Sword was the root, so they gave it the power to seal enemies, it kept absorbing the energy contained from the sealed enemies one after another.

Only after absorbing enough energy, the tree sword will be fuse together, and make this unique magical weapon!

The sword was strong enough, but now after adding the natural energy, it doesn’t even need to rely on the strength of its master, its power is enough to be as strong as the Treasured Tools of the Sage of Six Paths!

The gourd continued on absorbing the natural energy, Naito knew that it was brewing it inside, which means that the transformation of the new sword didn’t finish, so he wasn’t worried about it.

After a little bit of perceiving, Naito determined that this process could take a month.

Because it was absorbing the natural energy all the time, its size becomes really big, and Naito wasn’t ready to take it back to the Village, because it may cause him some troubles.

Therefore, Naito found a temporary place to live nearby.

When the Totsuka Sword was absorbing the Natural Energy Naito could feel some fluctuations which he has never seen before!

Naito tried to perceive the existence of the Natural Energy several times before, but it was too difficult for him since he couldn’t reach the state where he can moderate his Shock Force, and focus on the Natural Energy.

What Naito didn’t expect that when the Totsuka Sword started observing Natural Energy, he could sense its flow with his Ultra Perceive!

After he closed his eyes, the world became entirely different Under his Ultra Perceive.

The ground, the sky, the trees, the grass everything was filled with Natural Energy.

“So this is Natural Energy…”

Naito’s eyes were closed, but his face showed a hint of exclamation, no matter how you think about it, the Natural Energy was always a mystery to him.

However, Naito didn’t know if he would still be able to sense it after the sword stops absorbing it.

Therefore, Naito sat next to the Totsuka Sword and began to work on the Natural Energy norms, his goal was to make his Ultra Perceive able to sense it even in normal state.

After some hard work, Naito finally succeeded!

When Naito’s shock force reached the fifth stage, his Ultra Perceive induction got upgraded, however, after he worked on his soul and strengthened it a lot, the Ultra Perceive grow even stronger.
