NOVEL WEB Chapter 29: Gauntlets of the Mana Sage
Tanaka returned home and entered the special room after exchanging a few words with Akane and leaving a shadow clone to play with Kushina.
You never know what might happen just by playing around. After all, the skill he was about to use was created because he was playing with Kushina with modeling clay.
With him, Tanaka brought a considerable amount of stones, special ink, and paper.
All of this was provided by the Uzukage.
The reality was that, besides genuinely wanting to help the village, he was also a bit, shall we say, cunning.
The very revelation that he could create weapons was a bait. If the village wanted to start using him abusively, he wouldn't hesitate to abandon the village with those who wished to follow him.
He could accept helping, but never becoming a puppet that lives for the village like Itachi, etc.
To him, that is nothing more than a foolish and disgusting act. It didn't matter if others treated Itachi as a god or something of the sort; it doesn't change the fact that he killed his own parents, even though there were several other paths he could have taken. One of them was leaving the village with his clan.
However, from the beginning, even though deep down he should have known that someone from the village was manipulating everything to exterminate his clan, even though they say it's the Uchiha's fault for wanting to revolt against the village, all of this is the result of the village's own maneuvers.
Well, at least that's his own point of view; a path he would never choose to follow.
Now, he promised to create 9 different weapons. In fact, it was 10, but knowing that one of them would be for Akane, he took it upon himself to make a better one for her. In truth, he wanted to make one for himself as well.
══════
It was almost 7 PM, and Tanaka created a new type of Tag. He named it; Voice Recorder Tag.
The reason for creating such a thing was quite simple. He wanted to create a personalized pair of shoes for Kushina before leaving on a mission. And, these shoes would have something unique: every time she stepped, a voice would resonate saying "Kawaii."
He imagined the scene where Kushina walks and different voices say, "Kawaii, Kawaii, Kawaii..."
Not to mention that, every time she walks, near the sole, it starts to light up while she could also use the wheels to move faster, and if she preferred, there would still be the option of someone saying 'Kawaii'.
Of course, the voice part was optional; it was just an idea he had, whether she would like it or not was still uncertain.
To create such shoes, an energy source was needed. So, he used a Rank C Soul Stone in the creation of these shoes.
[Kawaii Wheeled Shoes - Rank B-] Defense Increase: 100

A pair of shoes created using special paper, chakra ink, Rank C Soul Stone, synthetic leather, memory foam, pressure sensors, wheels, and 51 different voices.

1: Lights up when stepping on the ground and changes color.
2: 51 different voices saying "Kawaii."
3: Danger alarm in case someone tries to harm Kushina Uzumaki.

Durability: 500/500
User Restriction: Kushina Uzumaki
'As expected of me.' He praised himself a little.
It was amazing that he managed to put into practice everything he imagined while creating such shoes.
The shoes were yellow with pink details. On the side of each, there was the red symbol of the Uzumaki clan.
Of course, this wasn't the only item he created during all this time. He also created the nine fingerless gloves:
[Chakra Metal Gloves - Rank B] Magical Power: 350
[Created by Tanaka Uzumaki, The Gamer]
Gloves created using special leather and special metal.
Special Effects:
1: Increases the user's damage when using Chakra by 50%.
2: Increases the user's chakra by 25%.
3: Reduces the time to perform hand seals by 10%.
4: Increases hand seal accuracy by 15%.
Durability: 500/500
User Restriction: Ninjas of Uzushiogakure
All nine gloves came with the same configuration. The result was better than he expected to achieve without using a Soul Stone. And, although they were gloves, they were still treated as weapons, and Tanaka was able to equip them while still wearing the Zombie Marshal's gloves. In this sense, they were similar to gauntlets.
They should thank him for restraining his impulse to add sound effects the moment they started using these gloves...
Another thing he created was explosive stones. Although the special ones he kept for himself, he replaced them with the ones he had in his inventory, totaling 300, which he would deliver to the Uzukage.
Now, all that was left were his gloves and Akane's. Taking two Rank B Soul Stones from his inventory, he prepared the necessary materials and began to get ready to make Akane's gloves first.
When he began, the metal and leather floated, followed by the soul stones.
Controlled by his Psychokinesis power, the items began to merge as he performed the Manufacturing skill.
With a kind of glow, a pair of gloves with more elaborate details, mostly leather but with cracked metallic details and purple stones on the back of the gloves, appeared.
Picking them up, Tanaka checked the information on the pair of gloves.

5: +20 Intelligence.
Durability: 1,500/1,500
User Restriction: Akane Uzumaki.
'Just like Kushina's boots, if I focus on a specific user, I can make the item's restriction narrower, so it can only be used by that single user,' Tanaka thought.
Other than that, the configurations themselves were very good. Although the only additional thing he used to create them were the Soul Stones, that alone made a big difference in the creation of the gloves.
'Now, just mine are left.' Tanaka took a deep breath.
Taking two Rank A+ stones, the only two he had recently obtained from the upgraded Zombie Marshal.
As he began, he visualized the gloves being formed while executing Manufacturing.
With a glow, the pair of gloves was created, floating in the air under his control.
Picking them up, Tanaka checked the information.

"Wow!"
Tanaka was breathless. The result was even better than he expected.
Although he knew it would be better than Akane's, since he used much better soul stones, the result still left him speechless.
'To think I acquired this skill while playing with Kushina...' Tanaka found it amusing.
Holding the gauntlets, which were somewhat similar to Akane's, except the purple stone on the back of the gloves was brighter.
After equipping the gloves, he opened his status and was amazed at the amount of MP he now possessed.
MP: [16,288/16,288]
The only real drawback was that, since they became Gauntlets, he could no longer equip another weapon at the same time. However, this alone was good enough, not to mention that it didn't prevent him from making hand seals.
