Controlling Time from Naruto Main Volume Chapter 7 The Restless Night Canyon Edge.
With dark hair draped over her shoulders and green eyes brimming with vitality, Masaki stood here in a clean and tidy cherry blossom corset and short skirt.
She looked at the outside of the canyon and took a deep breath, then she gathered her strength and stepped out, leaving the canyon where she had lived for almost six years and returning to the outside world.
"Leaved."
Zhenji looked back at the depths of the canyon, looking at the wooden houses that were still as clean as new after so many years, showing a cute smile, and then hummed a pleasant tune, put his two little hands behind his back, and jumped out of the mountain forest flexibly and briskly.
Walk away.
After leaving the mountain forest, what appeared in front of her was the small town she had left for six years.
The town looks more shabby than it did six years ago, but you can still see people coming and going, and the liveliness is not much different than six years ago.
Although we are in an era of war and poverty, the population has not declined rapidly because of the openness of sexual culture and the inability to use simple contraceptive methods.
Because many families cannot afford to raise children, they have no choice but to give birth to one child after another. Therefore, many children are kicked out of their homes or even sold to traffickers.
Zhenji looked at the vaguely familiar town in front of him, showing a look of nostalgia, then stretched out his little hand and touched Kong Luoluo's waist.
"I need to forge a sword first..."
Zhen Shi's first goal is very clear, she needs a sword.
Feng Ye almost completely cared for her. Apart from taking care of her food, drink, and clothes, Feng Ye didn't give her any extra help in other aspects, nor did he give her a sword.
Because Zhenshen originally had a good attitude of relying on herself for everything, Fengye did not intend to destroy this good idea. The teaching she had always given her was not to rely on others for survival.
Of course, food and clothes were provided for her during sword practice. Otherwise, although no one else would be able to enter his canyon, it would be easy to develop bad habits when she was naked since she was a child.
After a while.
Zhen Shi came to the small town.
After walking half a circle around the town, she quickly found a blacksmith shop.
"Hey, this lady, do you need anything?"
The owner of the blacksmith shop was shirtless, showing off his strong muscles. When he saw the neatly dressed Masaru walking in, he immediately smiled and said hello.
In this era, people who can wear clean new clothes are usually not poor, and they can undoubtedly afford to buy things.
"I need a sword."
Zhenji looked up at the blacksmith boss and said something with a smile on his face.
Although she has not been in contact with anyone other than Feng Ye for six years, her character is not afraid of strangers, and her sword skills have given her enough confidence, so she is very calm and unhurried.
"Okay, whatever you want, miss, I can forge it if you give me the request. As for the materials, I have ordinary refined iron and hundreds of refined steel. The best is this kind of sapphire iron ore, but it is expensive.
A little bit."
The blacksmith boss introduced several types of iron ore with a smile.
Zhenjiang tilted her head and took out a stone with golden light spots, about the size of her fist. This was a gold mine she accidentally found while practicing her sword in the canyon.
"Which one can I probably replace this with?"
Zhenji asked.
"Eh...this is worth a lot of money."
The blacksmith boss looked at the gold-containing ore in Zhenshan's hand in surprise. After reaching out to take it, he simply weighed it and determined how much gold it contained based on its weight.
"With this weight, it's more than enough to forge a sword with sapphire ore. I'll probably have to give you a hundred and fifty silver."
If this money were placed in an ordinary civilian family, it would not be able to be spent in ten years. In exchange for it, the former Zhenji would undoubtedly not be able to calm down, but now she just smiled cutely and said: "Then please."
After seeing the swordsmanship, money could no longer move her.
"Hello!"
The blacksmith boss immediately responded cheerfully.
Seeing that Zhen Shang was unmoved by so much money, he was convinced that Zhen Sang was a girl from a wealthy family. As for where Zhen Shang came from this gold mine, he knew that he shouldn't ask more.
"Just come and pick it up in five days. Please keep the money."
The blacksmith boss put away the gold mine, found another one hundred and fifty silver and handed it to Zhenshan.
Zhenji took the money, waved his hand and left the blacksmith shop.
"A rich family..."
The blacksmith boss sighed with emotion. This amount of money was almost his annual income, but Zhenshen didn't seem to care and didn't even count it.
The more he didn't care, the less he dared to have any other thoughts, and honestly began to build a custom-made sword for Zhenshan according to Zhenshan's description.
Five days later.
Masaki got his first steel-forged sword.
The sword forged from sapphire ore had a blue luster throughout and was heavier than she expected, but she could still swing it easily.
"It feels completely different from the wooden sword. It seems like you need to get used to it."
Masaki waved the sword in his hand, and then whispered thoughtfully.
She can already cut through steel by wielding a wooden sword. Now that she has a good sword, both the destructive power and the power of swordsmanship will be greatly improved, but before that she has to adapt to being much heavier than a wooden sword.
of this weight.
Zhen Shi left the blacksmith shop.
After a while.
She came to a small courtyard in the northwest corner of the town.
This is the place where she rented temporarily in recent days. She originally considered whether to buy it. The money was almost enough, but she thought that she would use up all the money and she would not know how to earn it, so she still saved some.
Temporary rental.
"Master said that there are few people in this world who are better than me in swordsmanship, but...am I really that strong?"
Zhenji stood in the center of the courtyard, stroking the blue jade sword in his hand and murmuring.
She originally believed that she was very strong, but when she witnessed Feng Ye slashing out an abyss like a chasm with her broken wooden sword, she began to doubt herself a little.
But those words were said to her by Feng Ye. Feng Ye probably wouldn't deceive her. It would be great if she could have an opponent now who could let her measure her strength.
never mind.
Don't think so much, let's get used to the new sword as soon as possible.
Zhenshen shook his head, threw all the messy thoughts behind his mind, and began to exercise.
that's all.
Five days passed in a flash, and Zhen Shi gradually adapted to the weight of the blue jade sword, and gradually integrated the training he had done in the past to carve out his own swordsmanship.
After she enters a state of diligent practice, she hardly cares about the outside world and practices day and night.
The dim black mist enveloped the sky, even covering up the dim moon. Zhenji was still standing alone in the small courtyard, waving the sword in his hand.
I don't know when.
She stopped and looked up at the sky, frowning slightly.
"The sky tonight seems to be filled with a very uneasy atmosphere."
Zhenji murmured.
Having reached a certain level of swordsmanship, she could already sense the breathing of all things. In this state, she could faintly 'hear' some unusual sounds and sense the oppressive atmosphere tonight.
This atmosphere was hidden under the night, so she couldn't tell the source for a while, but it gave her a very uncomfortable feeling, which she had never encountered before.
Sudden.
It was as if lightning flashed across my heart.
"This is... the smell of blood!"
Zhenjiu's eyes narrowed, and he suddenly turned his head and looked in one direction of the town.
