After a round of greetings, finally, with a light cough from Uchiha Hoken, the theme of the evening began.
The old man took out a long box from his side and placed it in front of Chen Yue: "Child, you have performed very well in your training these past few days. Your great-grandfather has seen your efforts. As a reward, I have prepared a gift for you today."
So it was an award ceremony.
Hearing the old man's words, Chen Yue seemed to understand what this grand gathering was about.
But, did a gift require such a grand display and a grand celebration?
Was this gift truly special?
Under the encouraging gaze of the old man, Chen Yue opened the box, and inside it lay a ninja sword.
A ninja sword?
Could it be a chakra weapon!
Seeing the ninja sword in the box, and recalling the solemn expressions of his elders, Chen Yue immediately realized that this sword was extraordinary.
And in the world of Naruto, besides chakra weapons, what other weapon could be worthy of such an occasion?
Could it be one of the Six Paths Tools?
"This is the Kusanagi Sword, forged from iron infused with a large amount of chakra. It is a chakra ninja tool that is not only incredibly sharp, but also has excellent chakra conductivity, allowing you to fully unleash your ninja power. Draw it and try it out, child." Uchiha Hoken introduced the sword to Chen Yue.
“Hmm.”
Actually, even without the old man's prompting, Chen Yue couldn't wait any longer and picked up the ninja sword, drawing it out.
Kusanagi Sword refers to a type of sword, not a specific one. It is known throughout the ninja world for its exceptional sharpness and excellent chakra conductivity.
In the original story, Orochimaru and Sasuke both have such ninja tools.
However, unlike the Kusanagi Sword that Sasuke had in his past life, this one looked exactly like a common katana, more like the one in the manga that Orochimaru wielded.
The blade was seventy centimeters long, and the overall length was only about one meter. The white scabbard and hilt, the snow-white blade, and the gleaming edge made it a truly beautiful weapon.
As a fan of Bleach, even though Chen Yue had now transmigrated into the world of Naruto, he always had the desire to fight with a ninja sword. The appearance of this sword undoubtedly strengthened this desire.
Thinking that it was a chakra weapon, Chen Yue refined some chakra and poured it into the sword.
Whoosh～
The snow-white blade instantly shimmered with a light blue glow, enveloping the gleaming edge. Its sharpness became even more dazzling and intimidating.
Just looking at it, one's eyes felt a stinging sensation.
"Such an effortless feeling."
Chen Yue looked at the sword in his hand in astonishment. As expected of a chakra weapon, it was completely different from the feeling he had when infusing chakra into wooden ninja swords and ordinary iron weapons.
Not only was there no obstruction, but he also noticed that the chakra, after adhering to the weapon, dissipated very slowly.
As for ordinary weapons, although they could also increase their hardness and sharpness by adhering chakra, it was not easy to infuse chakra into them. It required more chakra consumption, and the chakra, after adhering to the weapon, would also dissipate outwards a great deal, resulting in a much lower chakra utilization rate compared to genuine chakra weapons.
Not to mention that ordinary weapons were far inferior to chakra weapons in terms of their basic sharpness.
Furthermore, the upper limit of chakra weapons was far higher than that of ordinary weapons in terms of utilizing chakra after nature transformation.
In short, with this chakra weapon alone, Chen Yue felt that his current strength had increased by at least double, or even more.
"This sword is called Yukihime, named for its snowy white appearance. It is a legacy of my first lineage. Its previous owner was your father."
Seeing Chen Yue happily testing the weapon, Uchiha Kenta began to introduce information about this ninja sword.
"Father?!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Yue stopped fiddling with "Yukihime." He hadn't even had time to think about what it meant for the family to give him this legacy. He stared intently at his grandfather, Uchiha Kenta, waiting for his next words.
Uchiha Kenta spoke with a heavy tone, describing the details of Chen Yue's father, Uchiha Tsuki's death.
Apparently, during the Second Shinobi World War, Uchiha Tsuki, due to his recklessness, rushed in too quickly and was surrounded by the Hidden Sand Village.
Facing over twenty ninjas from the Hidden Sand Village, including several Jonin-level masters, Uchiha Tsuki, who had only three guards with him at the time, was eventually outnumbered and the four of them were killed in battle.
However, the enemy also suffered heavy losses, with all twenty-plus of them dying.
In other words, this battle was a mutual annihilation, a fight to the death. Uchiha Tsuki did not lose. On the contrary, despite being outnumbered, he ultimately wiped out the enemy, fully demonstrating his immense strength.
And the reason why the Uchiha knew this was because after detecting Uchiha Tsuki's danger, the Uchiha clan members who went to rescue him arrived at the scene earlier than the Hidden Sand Village ninjas. From the gruesome scene they witnessed, they came to the above conclusion.
Yukihime was therefore not lost and was eventually brought back to the clan along with the deceased Uchiha Tsuki and the three other deceased Uchiha.
"So that's how it was."
This was the first time Chen Yue had learned the complete truth about his father's death. Previously, his elders had simply said that his father died in the Second Shinobi World War.
But now it seemed that his unnamed father was also a super genius. No wonder he, who inherited his bloodline, was so gifted.
Unfortunately, he was cut down in his prime.
"Your father wielded Yukihime and never disgraced the name of the Uchiha. Now, we entrust this sword to you, child. We hope you, like your father, will not bring shame upon the clan."
Although Uchiha Tsuki died in that battle, his feat of perishing alongside twenty-plus elite Hidden Sand Village ninjas still caused everyone to remember the name of the Uchiha.
It was precisely because Uchiha Tsuki had such a record that Uchiha Kenta felt so dissatisfied with Uchiha Fugaku, who only hid in the rear and had 'achieved nothing', ultimately becoming the head of the clan.
"Hmm, I will definitely not disappoint everyone."
Chen Yue sheathed Yukihime, holding it tightly, and solemnly assured everyone present.
"Hmm, good. I believe in you, child. You will definitely become the pride of the clan."
Uchiha Kenta laughed in relief. Chen Yue, who had been well-behaved and gifted since childhood, would surely bring surprises to the clan in the future. He had always believed in this.
