Chapter 69 - Chapter 69. The One Sent Over Was a Husky.

Shikamaru's was "Retirement Life", Choji's was "Who is the Handsome Guy?", "Kind Heart", "Great Gourmet", Ino's was "Blooming Cosmos".

Aside from the Kind Heart being somewhat useful, the rest of these items were either for daily use or the scammy type.

Besides these, Jokichi also forged some items from things on Sakura, Sasuke, and Kiba's bodies.

Sasuke's "Sunny After the Rain", Kiba's "Tracking Mask", Sakura's "Twin Stars" and "Giant Strength Wristband".

Sunny After the Rain was a silver metal badge, the size of a thumb, carved with patterns of heavy rain and the sun.

The Tracking Mask looked just like an ordinary mask, black, with a somewhat modern design, even equipped with a breathing valve.

Twin Stars was a fist-sized cluster of light.

Giant Strength Wristband was a pink wristband.

"Sunny After the Rain: Will grant the wearer immense confidence, especially after making progress, self-confidence will increase geometrically. (Note: Sometimes being overconfident is not a good thing!)"

"Tracking Mask: It can enhance the wearer's sense of smell tens of thousands of times, allowing the wearer to sniff out extremely distant and faint scents that even ordinary canine creatures would find hard to detect."

"Giant Strength Wristband: Wearing it can not only prevent wrist injuries during activities, but it can also amplify the wearer's immense strength."

Although Sunny After the Rain was very scammy at times, if used well, it was also very useful.

Not to mention the Tracking Mask and Giant Strength Wristband; although they were not particularly powerful abilities, they were extremely practical.

It was precisely because Jokichi wore the Giant Strength Wristband that he could hold a sword and wrestle for strength with Ryohei. Otherwise, a child not yet eight years old, no matter how much he trained, could not possibly compare to an adult Jonin.

Of course, those born with monstrous strength like Tsunade did not count.

Jokichi actually also wanted to take some hair or something from Shino, but Shino's presence was truly too low.

He could barely get a word in with Shino, and his attempts to pretend to acquire it accidentally also failed.

Because the bugs on Shino's body were very alert to their surroundings and would warn Shino in advance to avoid accidents.

By now, Jokichi had almost figured out the system's forging rules.

First, for memes circulated in his past life, the system could forge items with corresponding abilities based on the meme's content.

Second was the potential possessed by oneself. This potential could be a bloodline, talent, or even a secret jutsu, but ordinary ninjutsu would not work.

Jokichi had also acquired hair from Iruka or other ninjas, but the system had not issued any prompts.

Whether forbidden jutsu possessed potential or not was still unclear for the time being.

Because among the hair Jokichi had obtained, it seemed only the Third Hokage knew the Dead Demon Consuming Seal.

Although he did not forge any items related to it, he only started learning it after the Fourth Hokage sealed the Nine-Tails, so it was uncertain if he had learned it by now.

A person's psychological journey also possessed forging potential, but it had to be particularly strong.

Similar to Ryohei's...

Having his mind obliterated in Root, to now finding back his lost heart.

...

Ryohei did not have the system, so naturally, he could not see the system's descriptions.

But the Sword of No Heart and the Sword of Affection were both forged using his blood. Therefore, the moment he touched them, he understood their functions.

Ryohei's gaze sharpened, his expression became serious, and then he shook his head, offering the swords back. "These are too precious, I cannot accept them."

Jokichi did not reach out to take them.

He smiled and shook his head while slowly stepping back. "These two swords can only unleash their power in your hands, and moreover..."

"To you, these two swords might be very precious, but to me, they are dispensable. I have too many similar things."

Hearing this, Ryohei fell into silence.

After a long while, he raised his head again, a faint smile hanging on his face. "Since that is the case, then I will accept them."

Finally, he added, "Can I paint these swords? These colors are too vivid. Let alone assassinations and the like, even in a head-on battle, others will know there is a problem just by looking at them, and will carefully take precautions."

Jokichi was stunned for a moment, and then laughed. "Ahaha... What you said makes a lot of sense. However, the swords are already yours. How you want to use them is your business."

"Understood."

Ryohei nodded, used a scroll to seal the swords away, then greeted Jokichi and left.

Watching his back gradually walk away, Jokichi also packed up his things and went home.

Although there was still some time before dark, to undertake new training, it was better to make plans in advance.

At the very least, he needed to calm his thoughts.

...

Passing through the long streets, Jokichi returned to his own courtyard.

However, just as he opened the door, he saw a husky puppy chasing a crow everywhere. The stone table and stone stools in the courtyard were lying messily on the lawn.

The top of the rockery in the pond inside had cracked open, the shishi-odoshi had already fallen apart, and the stone targets for training on the right were also scattered messily everywhere.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, both the crow and the husky stopped their actions and looked over.

Then, as if seeing its savior, the crow cawed and flew over, while the husky, as if seeing a ghost, turned around and ran.

Jokichi remained expressionless. He grabbed the flying crow with one hand, and with the other, he pinched three kunai from the ninja tool pouch on his lower back and threw them at the husky.

"Thud, thud, thud!"

The three kunai blocked the husky's escape route, nailing into the ground ahead of it.

The husky slammed on the brakes and stopped in its tracks.

Its eyes rolled around, as if a person in thought, and then it put on a fawning expression, wagging its tail and walking toward Jokichi.

On the way, it glanced at the struggling crow in Jokichi's hand, then glanced at the expressionless Jokichi, and hurriedly lowered its head to swallow its saliva.

Once it came close, it immediately raised its head, revealing a goofy smile.

Then...

"Off you go!"

Jokichi delivered a fierce tiger shot, kicking the husky, turning it into a star that disappeared at the peak of the mountain rocks with a shrill scream.

Next, Jokichi looked at the crow in his hand again.

Seeing Jokichi looking over, the crow immediately flapped its wings and cawed loudly, as if saying "I am also a victim."

"I know you are a victim."

Jokichi stroked its feathers comfortingly.

Suddenly, the hand holding the crow tightened, and Jokichi's face became as cold as frost. "But what the hell does that have to do with me? I do not care if you are a victim. I only know that the ones who turned the courtyard into this are you two guys, and the one who has to clean up the courtyard is me."

After saying that, Jokichi assumed a pitching posture, then threw the crow out like a baseball. The crow also turned into a star and disappeared at the peak of the mountain rocks.

Having done all this, Jokichi sighed helplessly and silently cleaned up the courtyard.

The crow was the one Itachi left behind.

Originally it was fine; it did not need him to feed it, nor did it poop in the courtyard or anything.

Until two months ago, when Kiba sent over a husky puppy, everything changed.

These two guys were birds of a feather. As if possessing endless energy, they caused trouble everywhere.

At first, Jokichi let them out to play, but as a result, they destroyed many stalls on the street and were caught and brought back by the village ninjas.

After that, Jokichi locked them in the courtyard.

As a result, it became like this every day.

"Ah, ah, why was the one Kiba sent over a husky! That guy must have done it on purpose!"
