Nawaki grimaced, gripping Samehada, which Kazuki had given him earlier, with his healthy hand.
Out of trust in Kazuki, Nawaki directly picked up Samehada, and then he felt a surge of Chakra from Samehada enter his body. His previous injuries were alleviated by Samehada's actions.
"Whoa, this sword is amazing. It can restore my Chakra and even alleviate my injuries." Nawaki quickly blurted out the discovery.
At this moment, Minato had helped a little with Nawaki's arm. As for further treatment, that was beyond his capabilities.
He curiously examined Samehada and said, "This sword seems to have a life of its own."
Nawaki lifted Samehada and scrutinized it. "It really does seem to have a life."
There was one thing Nawaki didn't say: the sword seemed a bit ugly.
However, Samehada was, after all, helping him recover from his injuries. Wouldn't it be too shameless to speak his mind?
Nawaki was just a bit simple-minded, not truly foolish.
"But if it can keep restoring my Chakra and injuries, this sword is pretty powerful." Nawaki then joked.
Mikoto said as she put away the corpses, "This sword is Samehada. Kazuki told me about Samehada before. It can absorb the opponent's Chakra during battle to restore yours."
"According to Kazuki, Samehada is the most special and powerful of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist's swords."
Actually, Mikoto was thinking of another ninja sword, Kiba. Her current path followed Kazuki's: Lightning Release Chidori series, Sharingan usage, and Uchiha Kenjutsu. If she had an excellent longsword, it could significantly enhance her strength.
Clearly, Kiba was the most suitable. With Kiba, her strength would undoubtedly reach Special Jonin level.
Of course, she was more concerned about Rinka. Rinka's injuries were not light at all, and she wondered if Kazuki could heal her. As for whether anything would happen between Kazuki and Rinka, that was not Mikoto's concern.
Being able to follow Kazuki was Mikoto's current thought. Of course, it would be even better if she could go further. She needed to get stronger so as not to hold Kazuki back, and at the same time, she needed to handle things Kazuki was usually too lazy to do.
She intended to become Kazuki's right-hand and his wise helper.
"So this is Samehada? I didn't expect it could also absorb other people's Chakra. It seems really suitable for me."
A smile appeared on Nawaki's face. He felt that Samehada was a perfect match for him, and perhaps in the future, he could use Samehada to develop his own fighting style.
"Indeed, such a weapon is unattainable for others."
"But then again, Kazuki seems to be growing stronger and stronger. The formidable enemies we struggled to fight are enemies he can casually eliminate."
Minato sighed with emotion. The gap between them seemed to be more than just a little.
Only a powerhouse like Kazuki can truly protect Konoha.
Minato then looked at Mikoto, who was writing a mission report. This was something Kazuki should have written.
However, Kazuki wasn't very keen on such matters, often letting Mikoto handle them, and she always did an excellent job.
So what was his role in this squad?
Rinka had the Byakugan for detection and observation. Mikoto could handle various tasks, and her strength was also quite good, at least not weak within the squad.
Nawaki was tough and resilient, and now with Samehada, his strength would significantly increase.
As for himself, he still had to proceed step by step.
Of course, Minato would not blame Kazuki for not helping him get stronger or anything. Kazuki had already helped him enough, and he felt nothing but gratitude towards Kazuki.
Kazuki taught him much more than Jiraiya. Minato wasn't ungrateful, how could he blame Kazuki?
He came from a civilian background, his foundation was the weakest, and he was the youngest. Not everyone was Kazuki and could achieve this level.
Most people needed to get stronger gradually. Overdrawing on his future potential to quickly get stronger was unwise.
This left Minato temporarily unsure of his position.
Of course, if Kazuki were excluded, his combat analysis ability seemed to be the best in the squad. However, he was too weak, and he didn't have the corresponding authority. Even if he wanted command, he was too weak.
Moreover, his combat experience was insufficient, and talent was merely talent. To truly apply it in actual combat, he still had a long way to go.
He still needed to get stronger as much as possible.
However, the fight against Kubikiribocho today was truly exhilarating.
"How long do we need to wait here? The battle here must have attracted Kirigakure's attention. If they send a large army to encircle us, we'll be in danger."
Feeling mostly recovered, Nawaki hoisted Samehada onto his shoulder.
And surprisingly, aside from its slightly unappealing appearance, Samehada was a very formidable weapon.
Not only could it absorb the opponent's Chakra, but it could also restore his Chakra and heal his injuries. The barbs on Samehada could also make opponents lose a layer of skin, even if they didn't die.
Nawaki lovingly stroked Samehada. What a good item, truly a good item. New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on NoveI[F]ire.net
"Rinka's injuries are not light, but if it's just simple treatment, it shouldn't take long. As long as her ribs are set, it can be resolved in at most half an hour."
"As for other Kirigakure forces, we don't need to worry too much. In this situation, probably no one will dare to come over rashly."
Mikoto scanned the surroundings and said in a deep voice, "After all, Kirigakure probably doesn't believe we can defeat the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist."
Mikoto's words made Nawaki and Minato slightly relieved. After all, they were still behind enemy lines, which was too dangerous.
