Becoming a God by Increasing Favorability in Naruto

Hearing that Furen could produce a large supply of Ice Release Explosion Tags, Tsunade and Shizune couldn't sit still. From the previous demonstration, Tsunade, with her vast experience, immediately grasped the value of these weapons.

For individual shinobi, powerful Kekkei Genkai, high-level jutsu, and extensive mission experience are crucial for personal strength. But for a village, it's not just elite fighters that matter; it's also the collective power of the chunin and genin ranks. Although the strength of a few genin or chunin may seem small, when combined, their force can become significant.

The Third Raikage of the Hidden Cloud Village, with his "strongest shield" and "strongest spear," famously held his own against the rampaging Eight-Tails. The Hidden Cloud understood the value of reinforcing all ranks of their ninja forces. If Konoha's shinobi had access to Ice Release Explosion Tags, it would elevate the strength of the village—and possibly the entire Land of Fire.

Seeing Tsunade's interest, Furen smiled but held back on discussing the Land of Snow, instead pulling out a few Ice Senbon.

"Lady Tsunade, besides the Ice Release Explosion Tags, I also have these."

Unlike the explosion tags, Furen didn't demonstrate the Ice Senbon's power directly; these tools are often used for silent assassination, relying on their ability to channel chakra and deliver precise, lethal strikes. Tsunade passed one of the Ice Senbon to Shizune, who was more familiar with using them in medical procedures and combat.

Shizune carefully inspected the Ice Senbon, testing how much chakra it could hold and assessing its sharpness. After a series of precise experiments, she looked thrilled.

"Lady Tsunade, these Ice Senbon are excellent for medical procedures. The coldness helps control blood flow and would be extremely useful in stopping bleeding during surgeries," Shizune said excitedly. "And in combat, they're even more resilient than regular senbon, able to handle up to 1.5 times the chakra of our current high-grade senbon."

Furen, noticing Shizune's interest, took out a box containing several hundred Ice Senbon and handed it to her. "If you like them, Lady Shizune, consider these a gift."

"Thank you," Shizune accepted them gratefully, clearly pleased with the unique gift.

Shizune's favorability has increased by 5.

As Tsunade admired the Ice Senbon and Explosion Tags, she suddenly thought of something. "How long do these ice-based weapons last? Ice typically has a limited shelf life."

"There's no need to worry, Lady Tsunade," Furen reassured her. "These are created with Ice Release and will last for several years."

With that settled, Tsunade moved to the essential question. "How do you plan to produce these ice-based weapons on a large scale?"

Without speaking, Furen held up his hand and crafted an Ice Senbon and an Ice Release Explosion Tag on the spot. "Any shinobi with the Ice Release bloodline can create these weapons."

Tsunade furrowed her brow, still puzzled. If these could only be made by Ice Release users, how could Furen promise large-scale production?

Seeing her confusion, Furen explained, "Lady Tsunade, I once traveled to the Land of Snow and assisted their queen in reclaiming her throne. They have several Ice Release users there."

"You mean…?"

"I can negotiate with the queen of the Land of Snow regarding the production of these weapons," Furen offered.

Tsunade leaned on her hands, recalling the classified mission details she had reviewed in Furen's file. Missions involving negotiations between countries, especially those involving shinobi conflicts, were treated with utmost caution.

After a few moments of contemplation, Tsunade finally made her decision. She picked up a sheet of paper and began writing.

"Furen, I'll entrust you with this mission to negotiate ice weapons with the Land of Snow," she declared. "This mission is classified as S-rank."
