Lightning usually appears blue-white, as does most of the Lightning Style. Golden lightning also exists in nature, generally caused by clouds absorbing certain wavelengths of light, resulting in a yellowish hue, a peculiar natural phenonon.
In this world, anything related to gold is often associated with the Light nature. Shinichi recalled that the Blade of the Thunder Spirit seed to be an experintal weapon from the second Hokage's youth, but there was no record of what materials were used or their origin.
Thinking of this, a glint of light flashed in Shinichi's eyes. He combined Clarity and Lightning Speed Reflex to see through a blue crystal hidden in the black iron hilt of a sword, which had a slight golden glow.
Crystal Gem!
It's a product similar to the necklace of the first Hokage, but while the first Hokage's necklace was a wood nature Crystal Gem, this one is a lightning nature Crystal Gem, and may also have a bit of Dark nature attribute.
"This must have been left behind by an ancestor of the Senju clan who was proficient in Lightning Style."
Shinichi understood.
The Senju clan was born with a powerful Light nature bloodline; only with this bloodline could they cultivate such a special Crystal Gem that simultaneously contained the ultimate destructive power of Lightning Style and a portion of the life-giving energy of Light nature.
He dispelled his Lightning Style, and the golden blade of light vanished, leaving the sword hilt silent and unassuming once more, as if nothing had happened.
Shinichi held it and suddenly found it sowhat amusing.
Now, does he count as a man who possesses two swords?
Thinking of this, Shinichi inexplicably drew the Flowing Cloud Sword from his waist, then held it in one hand and the Blade of the Thunder Spirit in the other while pondering the situation.
One is called the sword of benevolence! The other is called the sword of righteousness!
Damn it! I've been corrupted by fate again!
I've already been transported to another world, but why are those three new s still chasing after ?!
Shinichi shook his head, clearing his mind of the jumbled thoughts.
However, while his main body is too busy to forge weapons, he can control his clone to try to create so talents related to forging in the Land of Iron.
The Land of Iron is a land of samurai and a renowned forging nation, ho to top-tier blacksmiths and forging techniques from across the Shinobi World, and preserving ancient and exquisite thods of weapon and armor forging.
This can also be seen as preparation for building so special weapons, or even divine artifacts, for himself in the future.
After all, summoning Enma every ti to turn into a staff is sowhat inconvenient.
What if Enma is unavailable one day, or the third Hokage is using it too? He'd be helpless.
In addition, a top-notch blacksmith often has a ticulous understanding of the characteristics of various weapons, which will certainly deepen his mastery of weapons and provide a certain auxiliary effect on his combat power.
Thinking of this, Shinichi sheathed his two swords, stepped out of the tent again, and planned to gather his team mbers to give them instructions.
"Shinichi!" He had only taken a few steps when a gentle voice called out to him.
"Minato-senpai?"
Shinichi stopped and turned to ask Minato Namikaze.
"Is sothing the matter?"
"Take this." Minato Namikaze handed over a Flying Thunder God Kunai, explaining, "I just discussed it again with Orochimaru-senpai. Your mission is very heavy, and the pressure and danger you'll face are imnse. I'll try to find opportunities to support your side when the ti cos."
"This…"
Shinichi hesitated for a mont, then nodded: "Then I'll have to trouble you, Minato-senpai."
"What's the trouble? We're all doing this for Konoha. In the upcoming battles, you just need to be careful." Minato Namikaze said earnestly.
"I understand, don't worry, senior."
Shinichi replied just as earnestly, "Your mission is even heavier, and the pressure you bear will only be greater. Please take care as well."
Minato nodded and was about to leave when Shinichi called him back: "Minato-senpai, I have so questions about the Flying Thunder God Technique that I'd like to ask you. Would it be convenient for you?"
Upon hearing this, Minato Namikaze was slightly taken aback, but then smiled gently again and nodded: "It's alright, go ahead and ask."
The Flying Thunder God Technique is an S-rank space-ti Ninjutsu recorded in the Scroll of Seals. It is considered one of Konoha's highest Hidden Jutsus. Its principles and details have always been top secret, and no one can access it without the Hokage's permission. However, Minato Namikaze knew that if Shinichi wanted to learn it, the third Hokage would definitely make it easy for him.
Besides, the other party was only asking a few questions, which is perfectly acceptable.
Shinichi asked Minato Namikaze so questions about the Flying Thunder God Technique. After exchanging a few more words, the two went their separate ways.
Shinichi quickly arrived at his battalion's assembly point and gathered all his n together.
In the open space in the center of the camp, three hundred ninjas stood in neat rows, with solemn and respectful posture.
Shinichi's gaze swept over the three hundred faces in front of him.
The team has grown from one hundred people when he first took over to its current size.
There are veterans who have followed him since the southwest front, backbone mbers who have been honed in missions in the northeast, and new faces who have just joined today.
But regardless of whether they were new or old, they all stood straight at this mont, their eyes fixed on him.
Following today's operational eting, Orochimaru, in his capacity as commander-in-chief of the northeast front, issued a formal order, effective imdiately, that the forr fourth independent combat battalion shall be renad Shinichi battalion!
In the Shinobi World, especially in the battle formations of various villages, it is of great significance for a team to be officially nad after its captain.
This ans that the highest-ranking commander of the front line has given the team the highest level of public recognition for its overall strength and execution capabilities, as well as the leadership ability and personal prestige of its captain.
Of course, if such a title granted during warti is to be permanently retained after the war and beco the official permanent title of the unit, recorded in the village's historical annals (Similar to the Village Hidden in the Cloud's Kinkaku Force), it still needs to be formally reviewed and approved by the village's high-ranking officials.
But at least on the current battlefield, the na Shinichi Battalion is already a shining gold brand, representing the initial realization of Shinichi Higashino's reputation.
This also symbolizes that this team has beco an indispensable elite force on the northeast front, bearing a strong personal imprint.
Orochimaru's actions also made Shinichi realize that this snake-like man had completely seen through his ambition.
But instead of pointing it out or stopping it, he handed the signboard over to himself, with an almost indulgent, interested attitude.
He deliberately created opportunities for Shinichi to win people's hearts, gain prestige, and cultivate his own loyal forces.
Was he observing? Testing the waters? Or simply finding it interesting?
Shinichi didn't know, but he knew that no matter what Orochimaru was planning, he had to seize this opportunity.
As the saying goes, eat the sugar coating, and fire the cannonballs back.
