Naruto: People are in Konoha, the system arrived 20 years earlier Chapter 064

Hearing Uemon proactively mention making ninja tools, Sakumo nodded slightly, a flicker of anticipation in his eyes.

“That’s right, the reason I came this time is to ask you to custom-make a unique ninja tool for my student.”

Uemon’s face instantly lit up with excitement, as if he had found a long-lost passion.

“Leave it to me. Bring him over. I haven’t had much activity in a long time. This time, I will definitely complete a very excellent ninja tool.”

Sakumo smiled and nodded, then turned and left to find Hayato.

In another corner of the workshop, Yuta watched Sakumo leave, his eyes slightly red as he wiped away tears of emotion.

“Master, it’s great that you’ve cheered up.” His voice was choked with emotion, yet full of joy.

Uemon slowly walked over to Yuta and patted his shoulder.

“You’ve worked hard during this time, Yuta.”

Yuta shook his head, a bright smile blossoming on his face again. “It’s not hard, Master. I always believed you’d get through this.”

Recalling the days when Uemon and Kaori took him in and taught him the art of crafting ninja tools, Yuta’s heart was filled with gratitude.

He had never thought of leaving this workshop; it had become his second home.

Meanwhile, Sakumo had found Hayato, who was wandering outside. After a brief conversation, the two returned to Uemon’s workshop together.

Uemon looked at Hayato, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

He had expected it to be Shota, whom he had met at the izakaya earlier, not this young ninja.

He looked at Sakumo questioningly, as if asking if there had been a mistake.

Sakumo immediately understood and smiled as he introduced, “Uemon, this is my student, Hayato. He is a very excellent ninja, and I believe he will be the user of your masterpiece.”

Uemon said nothing more, just nodded slightly, then motioned for Hayato to enter his workspace. He pointed to a spherical device and said, “Put your hand on that device and let me see your body characteristics.”

Hayato turned to look at Sakumo, who nodded slightly, indicating it was fine.

So, Hayato walked up to the device and placed his hand on it.

The originally transparent crystal ball suddenly burst forth with colorful light, dazzling and brilliant, like the most radiant stars in the night sky.

Seeing this, Uemon quickly stepped forward, his eyes full of shock and curiosity. “So many characteristics? This is truly rare!”

He turned to Hayato and asked, “Do you have any requirements for the type of ninja tool?”

Hayato calmly looked at Sakumo, then spoke, “A ninja sword. Oh, and can you explain what just happened?”

Uemon nodded slightly and began to explain.

“Everyone has their own body characteristics, such as delicate control, violent attack methods, etc.

These characteristics will appear in different colors on the device. For example, delicate control will display as white, and attack types will display as red.

But you displayed multiple characteristics. This is the first time I’ve seen such a peculiar situation in all my years.”

Hayato stroked his chin, not expecting there to be so many intricacies in forging a ninja tool.

Next, Uemon and Hayato discussed the appearance and other requirements of the ninja tool in detail.

As the discussion deepened, Uemon’s expression gradually became serious.

He looked at Sakumo and said, “Sakumo, this forging might require some special materials. Can you provide them?”

Sakumo glanced at Hayato, then smiled and nodded. “Of course, no problem.”

Then, Uemon walked to the side and quickly wrote down the list of materials he needed on a piece of paper.

After some effort, he finally handed a full list to Sakumo.

Sakumo took the list and frowned after a glance. “So many materials? Are you sure you need all of them?”

Uemon waved his hand, full of confidence, “Of course. I have a feeling that this ninja tool will be the most excellent work I’ve forged in all these years.”

Sakumo shook his head helplessly and handed the list to Hayato. “Prepare according to the list, and I’ll reimburse you later.”

Hayato smiled as he took the list, his heart filled with anticipation. He knew this was not just a piece of paper, but a powerful aid in his future battles.

He leaned close to Sakumo’s ear and whispered, “Teacher, will this be paid for with public funds or…?”

Sakumo gave Hayato a knuckle tap on the head and scolded with a laugh, “Am I that kind of person, your teacher?”

Hayato rubbed the bump on his head helplessly, grumbling inwardly.

He just wanted to know if he could manipulate things if it went through public accounts, but he didn’t expect Sakumo to react so strongly.

“Alright, Uemon, we’ll be going now!” Sakumo said, waving goodbye to Uemon.

After the two had walked away, Uemon rolled up his sleeves and called out to Yuta nearby.

“The shop hasn’t been cleaned in a long time. Let’s start a thorough cleaning while we’re not busy.”

Yuta also spoke with eagerness, “Yes!”

Soon, clanging sounds began to emanate from the Uemon Workshop.

Hayato and Sakumo left Uemon’s workshop together. As they walked down the street, Hayato looked at Sakumo curiously.

“Teacher, did you do something to Uemon? He suddenly seems like a different person.”

Sakumo smiled gently, “Nothing, just simple empathy. Sometimes, people just need someone who understands and supports them.”

After a moment of silence, he looked at Hayato and slowly spoke, “By the way, Hayato, you were right before. Those who are left behind often suffer more than those who leave.”

Hayato was startled by these words. He looked at the gentle smile on Sakumo’s face. Perhaps this experience would truly make Sakumo cherish the people and things around him even more.

“Teacher, you should say, ‘Master, I’ve seen the light!’” Hayato grinned, revealing his neat, white teeth, smiling brightly.

“You’re getting ahead of yourself. You’ll have to pay for part of the ninja tool materials yourself.”

“But didn’t you say it was a gift for me, Teacher? How can you do this?”

“Because I’ve seen the light, my child. You also need to learn to bear some responsibility.”

The two master and student bickered and joked all the way back to the inn.

As soon as they entered, they saw the three-person team of Akihira lying exhausted on the floor.

“Sakumo-sensei, Hayato, you’re back. We went to many places today, we’re so tired,” Akihira propped himself up and explained softly.

“How did the ninja tool procurement go? Was it smooth?” Sakumo asked with concern.

Akihira sighed, “Don’t even mention it, there were some unexpected issues.”

Sakumo looked at Hayato, “What happened?”

Hayato shook his head, “I don’t know. I tried to find them earlier, but I looked for a long time and couldn’t find them. Then, you came to find me, Teacher.”

Sakumo frowned, “What exactly happened?” Saying this, he went over to the three-person team of Akihira.
