Systematic Shinobi - Chapter 56.1 (Patreon)

The Marlin Harpoon.

And.

The Ray Bow.

'Well looks like Anko was right about what it was based on at least.' Daiki mused not long later as they once again soared through the skies towards their destination.

He had one arm wrapped around Anko, while in the other he had the unfurled form of the small scroll he found in Araumi Funato's sealing scroll alongside the large bone white bow.

It was a scroll that went into the creation and functions of the pair of weapons, and just who they actually were made by and for.

Apparently, according to the scroll they were created by the head of the Uzumaki clan over fifty years ago, actually apparently it was nearly a hundred years ago both weapons were created.

Made by one Arashi 'The Blood Chain Storm' Uzumaki, former head of the Uzumaki clan and the creator of both weapons.

'…What kind of fucking chuuni ass name is blood chain storm?' Daiki snorted to himself.

Then again it kind of fit for someone of the Uzumaki clan.

According to Kushina, the entire clan might have been the absolute pinnacle of genius when it came to the sealing arts and had the most advanced civilization by far in this world from what he'd seen.

That they might have been, but they were all also barbarian blood knight adrenaline junkie freaks of nature.

Like the Kaguya clan, except way more powerful and not anywhere near as retarded. Just autistic as all hell.

The autisticist honestly.

Who the hell sealed the god of death in a mask? Like, where did they even come up with such an idea? And how did they even accomplish it?

For one thing they were the ones who made the Reaper Death Seal, so they were the ones who originally had to have summoned the god of death from what…the after life? Some other dimension?

And then they just boxed his ass up?

Absolutely, wild.

Well either way, moving on beyond that, both weapons were indeed created by a former head of the Uzumaki clan.

The Ray Bow, the weaker and less useful of the two as stated by Arashi Uzumaki in the scroll detailing their creation and purpose…had quite a few abilities.

The main ability of the Ray Bow, was for the user to inject a tiny amount of chakra into it, and then have that chakra be amplified massively and could then be formed into a physical shape of pure chakra energy. In the case of the bow, the seal work on it made it so that the chakra was formed into an arrow.

It didn't have to just be a small bit of chakra though, that was just an example. Apparently, it could handle and amplify a lot of chakra. As in, it could create arrows the size of buildings no sweat.

That alone was incredible.

But it didn't end there.

No, because the Ray Bow had a few other abilities. For one, when it pierced a target, it pulsed chakra from the arrow it made erratically through the chakra network of the target and heavily disrupted their chakra network.

Even just grazing them could fuck over someone's chakra network for a decent while.

The amplified chakra arrows also apparently were paralytic. The bow itself added a paralytic…enchantment? Sealed a paralytic effect into the chakra itself.

Oh, and apparently the user of the bow could even change the trajectory of the arrows fired with the bow itself.

It was an absolutely busted weapon.

But apparently it was just the weaker of the two weapons when it came to regarding the Marlin Harpoon.

Which was specifically stated right away in the scroll…to be a failure. That was wild, incredibly absolutely wild.

From a cursory glance, the weapon did exactly as he knew from examining its seals. It absorbed chakra, a lot of it. That was its most basic function.

…What he wasn't quite expecting though, was what else he read.

The Marlin Harpoon, had its own chakra system sealed within it. Or rather, it had a beast of notable power sealed within and bound to the harpoon itself as if it were its body.

The boss of the Marlin summoning clan.

In Arashi Uzumaki's pursuit to create the ultimate and sentient weapon with the ability to sense chakra, absorb chakra and protect its wielder, he entered into a contract with the Marlin summoning clan, and promised the boss of the summoning clan, eternal life in the form of the Marlin Harpoon.

The Marlin Harpoon, had all the strength and chakra capacity of a high tier summon boss. But was deemed a failure, because the creation of the harpoon itself was flawed and too rigid and thus limited the boss within the spear unless it was attacking straight head on.

Thus, both the Marlin Harpoon…and the Ray Bow for some reason, were scrapped as projects after being completed.

There was a little tidbit at the end though that had Daiki raising his eyebrows.

'I have learned from my mistakes, I will not make them again. Next time, I will create the ultimate unbeatable weapon that even the Bijuu themselves will fear. I call it, Project: Samehada!'

Well now, wasn't that interesting to know?

It all but confirmed that indeed the Uzumaki clan created the seven blades of the mist.

'Honestly it makes me wonder how that guy even found these, was he grave robbing or something?' Daiki wondered.

But they were obviously well hidden to some degree otherwise they would have been found long ago and taken. Failures the creator might have called them, but they were obviously better weapons than at least half of the seven swords of the mist.

Honestly, considering Arashi Uzumaki called the Ray Bow and Marlin Harpoon failures, beyond the Kiba Blades and Samehada, it wouldn't surprise him if the other five were just random weapons members of the Uzumaki clan had for their rank and file, and not actually anything that special.

Well…maybe not Kubikiribocho, simple as it was in effect, it was incredibly useful. Actually considering how the Uzumaki clan seemed, Kubikiribocho might have been designed just to farm chakra ore like he planned to do and was never intended to be a weapon.

…And was just designed like a massive buster sword because the Uzumaki were crazy.

Either way, Daiki didn't really care all that much. Rather, he was focused on something much more interesting.

Specifically, the chakra amplification effect of the Ray Bow and its ability to change the trajectory of chakra it fired as arrows. Those would be incredibly useful to add to his Kiba Blades.

But beyond even that, was the idea of copying what Arashi Uzumaki did and sealing a powerful entity of some sort into the blades.

Maybe one of the other-

'No.' Isobu crushed that thought before he even finished it, 'You are not sealing any of my siblings into a pair of swords, for one we don't have bodies like a summoning boss does, secondly you would make the blades their new bodies, so no not happening.'

…Well fair enough.

'What about the zero tails?' he asked. He actually already had a rough idea where to find that thing, and had simply been holding off for a while. Actually, he was more interested in the old cunt of a villain after the zero tails and his bodybuilding jutsu rather than the zero tails itself.

He'd been holding off going there for now though.

'I refuse.' Isobu huffed immediately.

Daiki blinked.

'The fact it is referred to as the zero tails as if it were part of our family is outrageous!' Isobu spat and Daiki was astounded by the vitriol from his usually very calm, mellow buddy, 'It's a leech that escaped from hell hundreds of years ago when the Uzumaki clan were playing around with going to hell like it was a vacation spot. It has no desire of its own, it is simply a leech that feeds on negative emotions, it is the literal exact thing people paint we bijuu as, a mindless chakra beast.'

The Uzumaki clan again!?

What the fucking hell was up with that clan?

'You'd be surprised.' Isobu snorted, 'They're the literal reason most demons made it to this world in the first place, in fact if I'm not wrong that one you plan to steal the little stone golem army off of is one that escaped because of them.'

….Huh.

What the hell Uzumaki clan!?

'Well I suppose I'll have to deal with that thing in the future as well.' Daiki shook his head. It was a shame, because the Zero tails while ugly and disgusting as fuck, could be very useful.

'I didn't say you couldn't make use of it in some form, just that I don't want my jinchuuriki associating with it at all,' Isobu sighed, 'Honestly, if I were you I'd help that Kurama clan girl, Yakumo was it? Tame the ido with your sealing abilities and then seal the leech inside her, with the way her bloodline works it would passively generate dark chakra in a perpetual cycle and be much safer than what that old fool was trying to do with it.'

Oh, huh, he'd completely forgotten about Yakumo. But, that wasn't a bad idea at all actually.

…It did leave the question though just what he could see inside his Kiba Blades, but he had time to think on that later.

_____________

Daiki had plenty to think about along the continued trip towards the Mist Village. Though, in the grand scheme of things, without any more interruptions, it didn't take all that long before they arrived.

Or reached within a decent distance of the village at least. When the Mist Village appeared on the horizon, he could see it much more in detail and clearly thanks to his eyes.

Honestly, it looked to be quite the dreary place.

The large island amongst the archipelago it was situated on, was full of large roving green hills, mountainous in size even, with large jutting mountainous pillars of earth dotting the landscape as far as the eye could see, rising high enough to pierce the clouds.

The architecture of the village itself was a bit odd to Daiki as well. He hadn't exactly studied architectural techniques and all…yet. But, every building he could see of small size like a house, or factory building lacking in height, was completely circular in shape, while other larger buildings thar rose high into the air were cylindrical in build.

At the very centre of the village was a huge circular building sitting atop a sloped brick structure that had many tens of dozens of pathways spread throughout the village, and atop most of the buildings were greenery, grass, trees and more.

'Such an oddly built village.' Daiki thought as he descended through the air a few miles away from the village, landing atop the ocean and letting Anko down.

Who came up with such a design, and what purpose did it have he wondered?

"Finally," Anko breathed a sigh of relief and stretched out her arms, "Flying is cool and all kid, but it got boring real fast with nothing to do."

Daiki just shrugged, he'd had plenty to do over the past day and plenty more to think about. Such was the benefit of being one on the one true path of the holy grind though.

"Anyway, focus up kid," Anko said suddenly, "We're about to enter the home of the succubus, so seal away your dick for a little while will you?"

Seriously, he was not that bad. Even if they were mostly joking.

Sure he'd been flirting a lot lately, but that was simply because of how little he needed to focus during the chunin exams, and how bored he'd been. He wasn't going to let his cock lead him during something as serious as meeting with a foreign Kage no matter how hot.

"Yeah, yeah." Daiki rolled his eyes and began walking across the ocean towards their destination.
