In the Hokage world, ordinary iron ore is a scarce resource and a strategic resource that countries must compete for. In addition, the refining technology in the Hokage world is very backward, and metals are extremely scarce.
Not to mention the special metal that can guide Chakra.
Even though Konoha is the strongest ninja village, special metals are extremely scarce.
According to Jiraiya's understanding, there are very limited weapons in the entire Konoha that can be forged with special metals.
According to Jiraiya's guess, ordinary shurikens cannot be used to perform the Shuriken Shadow Clone technique.
Specially made shurikens must be used.
Otherwise, Sarutobi Hiruzen would have to pass on this type of large-area destructive ninjutsu to most of the Jōnin, because this level of ninjutsu is simply a killer weapon in a team battle.
An ordinary shuriken thrown out can directly split into thousands of substantial clones, which is simply a technique that can wipe out the entire team.
However, the number of people in Konoha who master this technique is extremely small. No matter how difficult A-level ninjutsu is, most Jōnin can learn it as long as Sarutobi Hiruzen is willing to teach.
So all signs indicate that the shuriken used here is the key.
"You can't perform this technique with ordinary shurikens. As you said, ordinary shurikens simply can't be injected with a large amount of chakra, so you have to use special ninja tools."
Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded and pulled out a shuriken from his pocket.
This shuriken is exactly the same as an ordinary shuriken, there is nothing special about it.
"This shuriken is forged from a special metal that can withstand a large amount of Chakra infusion. I will demonstrate this technique to you now, so you must watch carefully."
Sarutobi Hiruzen said as he held the shuriken.
Jiraiya immediately put aside all distracting thoughts and focused.
Because there are not many opportunities to learn A-level ninjutsu.
If an ordinary civilian ninja in Konoha wants to learn advanced ninjutsu, he must make great contributions to the village.
Because some powerful ninjutsu are controlled by some big clans.
Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes focused, and he threw the shuriken into the woods, then he quickly formed seals with his hands and shouted, "Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique."
Then I saw the shurikens flying quickly, and suddenly they changed from one to two, two to four, and four to eight. The shurikens were increasing at a very fast speed. In just two breaths, one shuriken split into thousands.
"Bump" "Bump"
A series of explosions sounded, and a large number of trees were cut down by shurikens, raising a lot of dust.
"What a terrifying power."
Seeing a large open space suddenly appear in the forest ahead, Orochimaru's eyes flashed with excitement.
Jiraiya was also extremely shocked. This power was enough to easily shoot Jōnin into a sieve. He knew that Sarutobi Hiruzen had not shown the true power of this technique.
According to his understanding, the upper limit of Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique is very high.
Fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato relied on this technique to fire a Shuriken laser cannon.
In just a few seconds, tens of thousands of shurikens were directly differentiated and swept towards the enemy like a laser cannon.
The power was extremely terrifying.
Sarutobi Hiruzen stretched out his hand and waved it forward, and the shuriken he shot out bounced back because he had been controlling his Chakra to absorb that special shuriken.
"Have you memorized the seal-making method?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the shocked looks of Orochimaru and the others, feeling quite satisfied.
He really enjoyed the looks people gave him.
It is precisely because of this that he has always wanted to be Hokage and is unwilling to abdicate.
"Teacher, we have marked all of them."
Jiraiya and the others replied.
"You must keep these three shurikens well.
If you lose one, you will have to make a Penultimate contribution to the village to get a second one.
This is because this special metal is extremely precious and there are not many in the village.
Now these three shurikens are given to you by me as a personal gift.
They are not the property of the village."
"This scroll contains the specific method of mobilizing Chakra. After you have read and memorized it, you must destroy the scroll and never let it leak to anyone."
Sarutobi Hiruzen took out three shurikens and three scrolls and distributed them to Jiraiya and the other three.
"Teacher, we have noted it down."
Jiraiya and the others took the things and answered.
Jiraiya held the shuriken and tried to inject Chakra into it, and found it unusually easy. The Chakra flowed into the shuriken without any obstruction and without any leakage.
"I don't know what metal it is made of, but its conductivity and sealing properties are so good."
Jiraiya thought curiously in his heart that it was very difficult to guide Chakra with ordinary shuriken, and when Chakra was injected into it, it would be exposed and could easily be noticed by the enemy.
"Teacher, it would be great if such a powerful ninjutsu could be performed with ordinary shurikens. That way, if a war breaks out in the future, the casualties in our village will be greatly reduced." Tsunade couldn't help but say.
"Tsunade, I have thought about this and tried to do it, but all ended in failure. I have no idea how to improve this ninjutsu to be better. I can only rely on you young people."
"Konoha will definitely have a better future now that it has young and outstanding ninjas like you." Sarutobi Hiruzen said with anticipation, while also engaging in daily brainwashing.
Every once in a while, Sarutobi Hiruzen would gather all the ninjas of Konoha Village at the Hokage building, and then he would go on stage and preach the Will of Fire to brainwash the ninjas of Konoha Village.
It can be said that Sarutobi Hiruzen is a real master of MLM.
"Teacher, if we can find more powerful special metals to make shurikens in the future, will the power of this ninjutsu be enhanced?" Orochimaru said as he licked the shuriken with his tongue.
Seeing Orochimaru's flexible tongue, Jiraiya couldn't help but think in his mind, "Orochimaru is wasting such a flexible tongue if he doesn't find a lover."
"Of course it is. It would be best if we could find a special metal containing wind-attribute Chakra and forge it into shuriken." Sarutobi Hiruzen answered affirmatively.
Jiraiya couldn't help but think of the scene where Namikaze Minato used the Shuriken Shadow Technique.
Namikaze Minato was able to use the effect of the laser cannon, which must be due to the material used to forge the shuriken.
"Special metals like this one that possess Chakra are even harder to find. I've sent people to look for it, but to no avail." Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed again and said.
After all, he was the one who developed this ninjutsu, and he wanted to find a more suitable special metal than anyone else to make it into shuriken for use.
