"Of course! I plan to try fusing more too. Look, I have water, lightning, and earth chakra natures. Water and lightning fusion is Storm Release, water and earth fusion is Wood Release, and lightning and earth fusion should be Magnet Release. If I can create all three kekkei genkai, my power will completely surpass Kage-level, and our future children will have limitless potential!" "Mhm! Then go for it! I support you!" Tenten gazed at her boyfriend's handsome face, never getting tired of looking at him. If they weren't still so young, something wonderful would definitely happen right now. But then she changed the topic, "But... you're getting stronger and stronger. I feel like I'm falling further behind. One day, I might not even be able to fight alongside you, and you'll always be worrying about me. I want to keep getting stronger too." Natsuki paused, thinking deeply. Right now, Tenten had already followed the advice he'd given her as a child. She obtained the Crafting Ninja Village's four-piece set and the Lightning Blade: Kiba. Her strength was more than enough to contend with jonin, and now, with a chakra battery and mastery of Hiraishin (Flying Thunder God), she was undoubtedly jonin-level. As she grew older, reaching elite jonin or even Kage-level wouldn't be out of reach. However, Natsuki never forgot that Tenten's ultimate path was the Six Paths Ninja Tools. Only when Tenten possessed the Six Paths Ninja Tools would she reach her peak, fulfilling her dream of becoming a legendary kunoichi. Right now, she was feeling the distance between them widening, and that left her feeling lost. Well, it was simple. All he needed to do was find the Six Paths Ninja Tools for her! Natsuki asked, "Tenten, have you gathered any intel on the Six Paths Ninja Tools?" Tenten blinked. "I have some information. For example, the Amber Purifying Pot is in Hidden Cloud. Natsuki... are you saying, if I obtain the Six Paths Ninja Tools, I can fight alongside you?" Natsuki nodded. "The Six Paths Ninja Tools are incredibly powerful. They were used by the Sage of Six Paths himself. As a ninja tool master, I believe you can use them. Once you obtain them, you'll become a legendary kunoichi. Even if you aren't quite as strong as me, I guarantee you'll be stronger than the Hokage and absolutely able to fight alongside me!" A legendary kunoichi! Stronger than the Hokage! Tenten's eyes sparkled brightly, but soon dimmed again. "But... we can't just steal the Amber Purifying Pot from Hidden Cloud. That would start a war between nations!" "Hehe, that's because you don't know the history of the Six Paths Ninja Tools." Natsuki began telling the story, "During the First Great Ninja War, Hidden Cloud had two powerful shinobi – Kinkaku and Ginkaku. The Six Paths Ninja Tools were theirs. They were said to have the blood of the Sage of Six Paths, which is why only they could use those tools. Ordinary people couldn't even lift them. "Later, after the war ended, the Second Raikage and Second Hokage agreed to sign a peace treaty. But Kinkaku and Ginkaku ambushed them. The Second Raikage was killed, and Tobirama was chased down with his guards. Eventually, Tobirama decided to pass the Hokage title to Hiruzen and stayed behind to fight them alone, allowing his guards to escape. He managed to get away but was fatally wounded and soon died. "Kinkaku and Ginkaku were immensely powerful, using the Six Paths Ninja Tools to kill the Second Raikage and mortally wound Tobirama. But they themselves were severely injured too. When they returned to Hidden Cloud, the new Third Raikage declared them traitors and hunted them down, seizing the Amber Purifying Pot. The brothers escaped with the remaining four tools and disappeared. They must have died somewhere, and the four tools should be with their corpses." Tenten listened with rapt attention but frowned at the end. "So... where are their bodies? Where are the remaining tools? There's been no news about them for so long!" "Don't worry, I'm not done yet." Natsuki pinched her cheek and smiled. "I think Orochimaru might have some clues." Tenten blinked. "Orochimaru? Why would he... wait, you mean Edo Tensei (Reanimation)?!" Natsuki praised, "Exactly. That guy knows Edo Tensei, and it requires a part of the original body. Orochimaru is obsessed with collecting the corpses of powerful people. He even dug up the First and Second Hokage. I doubt he would've missed Kinkaku and Ginkaku." Tenten's eyes shone with excitement but then dimmed again. "But... if Orochimaru found their corpses, wouldn't he also have the Six Paths Ninja Tools by now?" Natsuki chuckled. "Maybe, but he can't use them! Those tools aren't something just anyone can wield. Let's wait for now. Tsunade-sama will inevitably target Orochimaru someday. When that happens, we just need to pay attention to his intel and see if he has anything about Kinkaku, Ginkaku, or the tools." Tenten nodded repeatedly, fully trusting Natsuki's judgment. After all these years, Natsuki had never been wrong and had always helped her become stronger. So, if Natsuki said they could find the Six Paths Ninja Tools, she believed him. If he said she could wield them, she believed that too. In truth, Natsuki wasn't just guessing. The fate of Kinkaku and Ginkaku remained a mystery, but later, Kabuto Yakushi reanimated them during the war, meaning he had found their bodies. Given Orochimaru and Kabuto's obsession with collecting corpses, it was likely they had already found clues about the brothers. Therefore, Natsuki planned to keep an eye on Orochimaru when the time came. If he had intel on Kinkaku, Ginkaku, or the Six Paths Ninja Tools, it would be perfect. If not, then he would simply snatch them himself during the Fourth Great Ninja War! The Six Paths Ninja Tools belonged to his wife! After hearing the story, Tenten no longer felt so down. Soon, she drifted off to sleep. As for Natsuki, since he'd slept during the day, he wasn't sleepy at all now. Especially with his soft, fragrant future wife in his arms – how could he possibly sleep? But she was only around fourteen. At most, he could enjoy some innocent skinship. Anything more was out of the question. "Ah, such torture..." In the following days, there were no major missions in the village. Even A-rank missions were scarce. Neji and Sasuke were frustrated by this. Not wanting to waste time on B-rank missions, they sought out Natsuki to spar. For them, only fighting jonin-level opponents gave them pressure, especially a jonin like Natsuki with Kage-level strength. It pushed them to their limits. They believed pressure was the key to growth. Natsuki didn't refuse. He had free time anyway, and training alone all the time wasn't ideal. Actual combat experience was essential. Though Neji and Sasuke weren't strong enough individually, when they teamed up, their taijutsu pressure was enough to make Natsuki exert himself a little.
