Chapter 715: Fujin's Profound Loss!
"Kazekiri, as in the Wind Cutter, huh? Sounds good." Fujin said with a smile on his face. He thought, 'Now I can't wait to try this sword out. Orochimaru, I hope you make sufficient arrangements. It would suck if I can't fight a rank S ninja.'
Furutani Fuji said, "I'm glad that you liked it. That said, I have a request. No, the swordsmiths in the Land of Iron have a request from you. I wonder if you'd oblige."
Fujin took his eyes away from the sword and looked at Fuji. He asked curiously, "What request?"
Fuji said, "You said that you destroyed Orochimaru's Sword of Kusanagi. Do you have the pieces of that sword? If you have them and are willing to give them to us, we'll use them to make a new sword for you. And, we'll also be bearing all the costs. Depending on their state, we might be able to make a sword better than Kazekiri."
Fuji's gaze was so passionate that everyone else in the room was weirded out. It was extremely clear that he desperately wanted to get his hands on the remains of the Sword of Kusanagi.
Unfortunately for him, Fujin shook his head and replied, "Unfortunately no. I don't know what Orochimaru did with that sword, but it turned into a snake after I destroyed it. All its remains were burned down during our fight."
Fujin would have liked to get his hands on the sword's pieces had it been a normal sword. Unlike the Kubikiribocho, the Sword of Kusanagi was a very good fit with Fujin's fighting style. However, he didn't want to do anything with it knowing that it could turn into a snake. Despite his strength, he wouldn't foolishly underestimate Orochimaru's means. Hence, he didn't bother avoiding the corpse of the snake when he blew up the entire place with his combination jutsu.
Fuji's enthusiasm died down like someone had poured a bucket of cold water on him. He sighed ruefully and said, "That's a shame. Still, converting a sword into a snake. It seems like Orochimaru's understanding of swords might exceed ours."
Fuji handed Fujin the sheath and the box while Hiruzen discussed some official matters with Fuji. After around half an hour, they left Momo's house.
