"That took a little bit longer than usual."

"Yes." I nodded, handing him the bottles. "I ran into a couple of idiots." My head tilted to the side. "Although, on the plus side, I came out of that richer than I was coming into that."

"Bandits?"

"Bandits."

"You had fun, then?"

"I got stabbed six times. The looks on their faces when I didn't drop were hilarious."

"You had fun, then."

I nodded- which was completely unnecessary, but hey.

"Oh, while I'm thinking about sharp objects, do we still have those Chakra Metal shavings?"

His head tilted to the side. "I'm.. fairly certain that Ensui has them. If you don't mind me asking, what do you want them for?"

"Oh, just a curiosity of mine." I said, sitting down on the couch.

A moment later, and I held one of the blades that the bandits had used against me, pulling it out of the place-not-place which held my Keyblade. And numerous other things, since I didn't exactly have pockets to keep everything in.

"A Chokuto?" He asked.

"Picked it up from one of those bandits." I said, before holding it out to him.

Carefully, he took it, examining it.

"This... is actually a surprisingly high-quality blade." He took the handle in one hand, holding it out in the air. "Well balanced, too. Not exactly the kind of thing you'd expect to find on your average bandit."

"An unexpected treasure, to be sure." I noted. "One that I myself have no use for."

"A gift?" He asked.

"That was the idea, yes." I nodded. "After, of course, enhancing it a little."

"That's why you wanted the shavings?" He questioned.

"I wanted to see if I could get it to allow for easy Chakra flow."

"And you wanted a sample of Chakra conductive metal to study." He nodded. "You intend to corrupt it, don't you?"

"Yeah."

"Tell me how that goes, would you?"

"Sure."

"That is really sharp."

"I am fully aware of that, Ensui."

"I am fairly certain that it physically impossible for a blade to be that sharp."

"It is."

Carefully, I picked up a brick, holding it over the now-corrupted and modified sword.

I let go, watching as the brick fell towards the blade, before landing on the ground in two pieces.

"You could probably make a fortune selling this to blacksmiths, you know?"

"I am fully aware."

"Is there any reason why it needs to be this absurdly sharp?"

"Is there any reason why it shouldn't be?" I asked.

"I guess not." Ensui noted.

Carefully, Ensui unfastened the clamp, grabbing the sword before it could fall to the ground. Prior experience, as evidenced by the small hole in the floor over there, told us that it would happily sink in right up the handle, and then some.

I could see his Chakra stretch over the blade, the Jounin running first pure Chakra, then Fire natured, then Lightning natured, and then Yin Chakra through it.

"There's still a bit of resistance in the Chakra flow." He noted. "Though it's still better than the average block of steel."

"It's a work in progress."

"Yes. A work to turn this absurdly sharp blade into an even more lethal weapon."

"Hey, if you're going to upgrade a sword, you may as well make it so that the sword can shoot lightning."

Sasuke, Naruto, Sakura and Jiraiya arrived back in the village fairly quickly, all things considered.

In tow was, unsurprisingly, Tsunade, Shizune, and Tonton. The fact that Tonton was sentient enough to possess a Heart didn't surprise me at all.

Either way, that meant that Sasuke and Naruto were back.

"Welcome back, boys."

"Yo!" Naruto smiled. "What's up?"

"Oh, nothing much, just a couple gifts."

Idly, I held up a chunk of rock above my head.

"Go ahead, test it out."

Sasuke held the blade in one hand, lazily swinging the blade at the rock- and blinked when the sword went right through the rock with barely any resistance.

Idly, I turned the rock aside, letting the other half fall to the ground, showing the almost perfectly smooth cut that had been created.

"That is really sharp."

"That's because the blade's edge is so thin you couldn't measure it even if you were measuring with Planck Lengths."

The edge of the blade was so thin that it was quite possibly 2-dimensional, something that was possible only thanks to the nature of Darkness, and the fact that Darkness didn't give a damn about how things were suppose to work. Silly things like 'being made out of atoms' and 'You can only get so small' were just suggestions.

Which consequently made Darkness all kinds of fun when you're applying physics with it.

"Planck Lengths?"

"Nevermind." I waved him off. "Either way, that sword is quite possibly the sharpest thing in the world. It is so sharp, in fact, that I had to make a scabbard specifically to hold that sword without getting cut by it."

Which had been... more than a little bit annoying. It was way too sharp to go without a scabbard. Unfortunately, no normal material would be able to hold it properly, as the slightest force would cause the blade cut through whatever was holding it.

As such, the scabbard had to be made out of Darkness, too.

"Alright, I'm not going to lie, that's a pretty awesome sword. I kind of want one."

"Pick a weapon with a blade, and I'll do the same to it." I said. "That's pretty much the only reason you don't have one already. With Sasuke, I knew he was at least eyeing a blade. In the meantime, here." I handed him a scroll.

"What's this?" He asked.

"About three thousand cups of ramen of various different flavours." I stated.

"A couple months worth of ramen, then." Sasuke commented.

"I don't eat that much, jerk!"

"You ate 30 bowls the last time we were out! 30! And the only reason you didn't have more was because I wouldn't let you! Where do you even put it all?!"

"Oh please, like you're any better with your tomatoes! Even Sakura was telling you to tone it down!"

Slowly, I began to make my way out of the room as the two boys started squabbling.

I'd give it 2 or so hours before they noticed my absence.
