“Ladies and gentlemen the public auction is now over. I ask the guests who have the public tickets to please leave the auction house. We hope you all enjoyed our auction house “ The auctioneer said with a salesman tone.
The guests who were sitting in the auditorium sighed as they all began to leave. Although they were very curious to see what sort of items would be auctioned in the private auction they didn’t dare to make any trouble. Especially after realizing that many muscular guards were guarding each door.
After the people from the stalls left the auction house doors were once again closed. But this time numerous seals began to appear and isolate the auction house. This way no one would be able to sneak in or sneak out.
“Well then ladies and gentlemen we will start the private auction. Our first item is a sword from the warring state.” the auctioneer said as her assistant brought a sword that was placed in a glass container.
“ According to our appraiser, this sword was made by the legendary blacksmith Lord Shimotsuki. From the records we found this sword was once wielded by the past Senju clan leader Butsuma Senju who is also the father of our revered God of shinobi Hashirama Senju. It is said that he himself has wielded this blade in the past when he was just appointed as the clan leader.
Our initial price starts at 50,000,000ryo “ the auctioneer said with a bit of excitement. After all, this is a relic that has some connection to Hashirma. Even his broken armor is worth much more than an S-rank mission.
And just like auctioneer expected the participants were all like horny dogs who saw a beautiful female dog as they began to bid crazily. The competition was very fierce as many wanted this sword for themselves.
“ 100,000,000 ryo “ a clan elder shouted as he looked at the ninja sword with red eyes.
“ 200,000,000 ryo “ another clan elder from a ninja clan directly doubled the price. For major clans, this much money isn’t that big of a deal. Especially if they could get a sword that has a connection to Lord Hashirama.
“ 250,000,000 “ someone from the Sarutobi clan shouted as he raised the price. Due to the fact that the Third Hokage was not invited only a few clan members were allowed to come here.
“ 300,000,000, “ a Hyuga clan elder said as he raised the price. Although they don't use swords, having this sword is not a bad thing for them. After all, apart from the Uchiha, they have the most wealth in the hidden leaf. So they could afford to have such luxury.
“ 350,000,000 “ the Sarutobi clan member shouted as he increased the price again.
“400,000,000 “ the Hyuga elder didn’t back down as he also increased the price.
, the bidding intensified as each clan elder refused to give up.
“Is that sword genuine? “ Tsunade who had a serious expression asked as she narrowed her eyes. As a Senju clan member, she had no idea about such a sword.
“Yes, that sword is the real deal “Izanami nodded as she had a reminiscing look. That sword was made by Izanami’s adopted son Shimotsuki Akira. Unlike his other adopted brothers, Akira had a great talent for blacksmithing. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novel·fire·net
So most of the legendary blades such as this blade and even Izuna’s weapon were made by him. And this child was also one who was threatened by a small ninja village that was erased by Izanami.
“Hey Izanami can I also participate “ Tsunade asked as she looked at Izanami. Truth be told Tsunade really didn’t have any intention of participating in the auction as she didn’t believe there would be anything that is worth buying. So she didn’t really bring any money.
But if what Izanami said was true that sword is definitely something that should belong to the Senju clan. Although she liked to gamble away Senju clan wealth Tsunade didn’t touch any of the important stuff.
She knew when to draw the line. So Tsunade really wanted to have that sword back. If it wasn’t for Izanami’s presence she would have already snatched that sword away using her authority as the Hokage.
Seeing Tsunade getting restless Izanami sighed and said, “ Go ahead and bid as much as you want. Think of this sword as a present from me “
“ Thank you Izanami “ Tsunade thanked her before shouting, “ 700,000,000 ryo “.
After her words the hall descended into silence Due to almost all of them, no one decided to bid against her. After all, no one wanted to get on the bad side of their Hokage. Especially the major clans who still wanted to stay inside Konoha.
“ 700,000,000 going once, going twice going thrice, and sold “ the auctioneer declared as she hit the gavel.
“Moving on to our second item is a S rank earth release technique called Cannon of Hell. This technique could be used in a large area to attack numerous enemies at once. Furthermore, the chakra consumption needed for this technique is only that of an A-rank technique…..” The auctioneer continued to praise the next time but Tsunade didn’t hear anything as she looked at her prize that was delivered to the VIP room.
She carefully lifted the glass box and placed it at the side. Looking at the sword again she had to admit it was quite remarkable.
It was a long Katana that had a brown handle. On the scabbard, there was the Senju clan symbol engraved in golden colour. Unsheathing the blade, Tsunade could feel the familiar chakra.
As a chakra weapon that Senju clan members used, it still contained a trace of their chakra that was filled with vitality. The unique chakra signature that only Senju clan members could have.
“ This is definitely the real deal, “ Tsunade muttered as she held the blade. Even now she was sceptical of this blade as she had never heard of it.
“ See I told you, “ Izanami said as she drank her cup of soda. She was enjoying the commotion downstairs. “ And besides, my auction house only sells legitimate goods. “ She added as she looked at Naruto's room.
Those kids were now messing around with the new toys they just got. Sasuke got himself a pair of sunglasses that not only looked cool on him, but he was also able to take some photos.
Truly a great product for a bro con to record his favourite times with his big brother.
“ But how the hell did you even get this sword? Shouldn't this be in the Senju clan treasury? “ Tsunade asked as she looked at Izanami with suspicion. She didn't steal this in the past, right?
Izanami, who could somewhat read what's on Tsunade’s mind, was speechless. What kind of person does she appear in Tsunade's eyes?
Ok, she may have had the title of the legendary Phantom Thief in the past but that was ages ago. She stopped doing that after Japan was founded.
