Chapter 7 New - Ninja Prosthetic Arm

What happened a few days ago was still vivid in Wolf's mind. After that, he also tried to inquire about the Eternal Paradise Sect, but to no avail.

I can only carve a wooden statue based on the portrait of the leader of the Eternal Paradise Sect in my memory. I have to say that the leader's appearance is quite unique and handsome.

The noisy Minako naturally wouldn't rest. She searched everywhere in the temple but found nothing. She looked at the wolf curiously.

"Mr. Wolf, have you finished carving the wooden statue?"

"It was already placed on a carriage outside the town yesterday."

As the two were asking and answering each other, the sun had risen to its highest point. The voices of the Fujiwara couple calling Minako could be heard from outside the temple. This was the agreement that Wolf had made with them.

The other three people must set out at noon on a cloudless day and find a town with more than one person to rest before sunset. This will help them avoid encountering evil spirits on the way as much as possible.

Originally, the wolf wanted to go with them for greater safety, but for some reason, the merchant who bought and sold the Buddha statues from the wolf suddenly received a large business order. He gave the wolf a large sum of money and urged him to work overtime to carve the Buddha statues.

With the repeated assurances from the Fujiwara couple, Wolf finally decided to set out a day later and catch up with Minako and the other two as soon as possible.

Hearing her parents calling her, Minako turned her head to glance outside the temple, then looked at the wolf who had turned back to work in the temple without saying a word.

She curled her lips, turned her face away, and pretended to be angry.

"I came here specially to say goodbye to Mr. Wolf, and you are still so cold. I will ignore Mr. Wolf from now on!"

After saying that, he gently turned his head and looked expectantly at the wolf's back, but the expected scene of stopping, looking back and saying goodbye gently did not happen.

Seeing the wolf's appearance, Minako gritted her teeth in hatred, but there was nothing she could do. She snorted unhappily and turned around to leave.

"Hey."

"Ok?"

Hearing the wolf's call, Minako turned back with a hint of dissatisfaction.

"then."

Wolf took a package from his arms and threw it to Minako at the bottom of the stairs, then returned to the shrine without looking back.

Minako caught the bag thrown by the wolf and opened it curiously. The bag was so full of candies that it was about to burst.

I took one out and put it in my mouth, feeling the sweetness spreading on the tip of my tongue. My mood, which had made me angry with the wolf before, improved a lot.

He smiled and turned and ran out of the temple to meet his parents who were looking for him.

Inside the temple, Wolf sat down again, picked up the file and block of wood, and began carving the Buddha statue.

Wolf was quite helpless about Minako's reaction. In his imagination, they would be able to meet again tomorrow night. It would only be a day's separation, so there was no need to say goodbye.

After a while, with the wolf's keen senses, he could clearly hear the sound of a carriage passing by the temple.

Gone?...

It was noon now, and the three of them would not encounter any evil spirits as long as they walked on the main road. Wolf naturally would not worry too much, but he still subconsciously quickened his movements.

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye it was almost sunset. The wolf stopped what he was doing, placed the last Buddha statue on the floor, and then put all the Buddha statues into a wooden box.

Picking up the wooden box, the wolf walked out of the temple and headed towards the town. Although the sun was about to set and it was time for the evil spirits to come out to look for food, how could the wolf be afraid of them?

He walked into the town's shops, found the vendor with whom he usually traded Buddha statues, and handed the box to him.

The other party was not in a hurry to open the box to check. Three years of cooperation were enough for him to see clearly that the wolf in front of him was not a treacherous person. Moreover, with the Meiji Restoration, Buddhist ideas gradually spread in Japan, and Buddha statues at this time were extremely popular!

In addition, the Buddha statue carved by the wolf was so exquisite that it looked like a work of art, so he could naturally sell it at a high price and make a fortune.

He didn't want to lose the wolf's treasure chest because of some details.

A sack of coins was respectfully handed to the wolf. The purse was about to burst and was so heavy that even the wolf could not help but smile.

But this smile gave the vendor opposite him goosebumps all over his body.

This old man is so funny...

The wolf put away his smile, put the purse into his arms, turned around and walked away without saying anything else, leaving the merchant who still wanted to please the wolf choked on the spot.

This old man doesn't really understand the ways of the world...

Holding the money, the wolf quickly walked out of the shop and walked in the other direction of the town. Soon the wolf stood in front of a blacksmith shop. As he walked into the shop, the heat wave immediately hit the wolf's face, making him raise his face back. Then the sound of clanging iron also reached the wolf's ears.

Listening to this sound, which was the same sound he heard every day in Ashina, a trace of nostalgia flashed through the wolf's eyes.

A shirtless man in the shop was concentrating on his anvil until he saw a wolf coming in out of the corner of his eye. He then quickly put down the hammer and trotted towards the wolf.

He looked around and saw that none of the other blacksmiths in the shop had noticed, so he continued with his work and whispered in the wolf's ear.

"Sir, the things you want have been packed and are in the box at the door. After all, this is not a formal transaction and cannot be discovered by others. Please go and get them yourself!"

The wolf nodded silently, then took out a purse smaller than the one given by the merchant from his arms, threw it into the blacksmith's arms, and then walked to the door.

The blacksmith was so overjoyed that he held the purse tightly in his arms. He was so excited that he thought of his sick wife and children at home.

Wife, kids, we finally have money to see a doctor!

Not knowing that he had inadvertently changed the fate of his family, the wolf walked casually towards the door. When he was about to go out, he kicked and hooked a box beside him with his left foot, and the box fell into the wolf's arms without making a sound.

With his right hand hidden under the wide sleeves, the wolf gently touched the wooden box in his arms, his thoughts somewhat scattered.

Hope it will be successful.

It seemed as if he had simply come to the town to sell Buddha statues to the vendor and to stroll around. The wolf walked around the town, bought some firewood, rice, oil and salt, and then left the town.

He returned to the temple's Buddhist hall, placed the daily necessities casually on the ground, took out the wooden box in his arms, and walked behind the Buddha statue in the hall to take another wooden box in his hand.

Place it solemnly on the ground and open it.

The wooden box contained some sophisticated and complex metal parts and an object that looked like a bone gauntlet frame.

Sitting cross-legged on the ground, the wolf began to assemble these things.

That’s right, what Wolf is going to make is the ninja prosthetic arm!

Since there is an option for prosthetic ninja tools on that magical light screen, it means that Wolf still has the opportunity to use those strange ninja tools!

But without a prosthetic ninja arm, Wolf doesn’t know how to use ninja tools. In that case, why not make one for himself?

Such thoughts lingered in Wolf's mind and could not be dispelled. With Wolf's learning ability, he had completely mastered it just by watching the Buddhist sculptor install and enhance the prosthetic ninja tools for him a few more times.

Even after the Buddha sculptor left the temple, the improvement and installation of the ninja tools were done by Wolf himself!

So, after Wolf tried hard to recall when he used the prosthetic ninja arm, the operation of the mechanism of the prosthetic ninja arm and the conversion process when switching ninja tools.

Wolf officially began to make the ninja prosthetic arm. First, he commissioned a blacksmith to get good iron for him to make strong and precise metal parts. Later, when he killed evil spirits, he collected all the ashes from the corpses, concentrated them together and burned them into a bone block, which was then carved by Wolf himself.

Since Wolf's arm has recovered to the state it was before it was cut off by Genichirō, Wolf does not have a broken arm, so naturally he cannot carve a left arm for himself. Instead, he carves a left hand armor frame.

He kept recalling the mechanism and movement of the ninja prosthetic arm in his mind, but his hand movements did not slow down.

After a while, a frame mixed with metal parts and bones was quietly tied to the wolf's left arm with sackcloth.

Summoning the light curtain, Wolf pondered in his heart.

I don't know if this counts as a ninja prosthetic arm...
