It was time to begin building her new engineering toys. The design had come from someone else of course, a man by the name of Okane Tomi, but the design had gotten out. Whether or not that was by design was of little concern to Azalea. What mattered to her was that she could make them, and she had the materials to do so. So she began to work, working the titanium down into a frame and affixing the pressurized gas canisters. Forming the controls and the firing mechanism, calibrating it, the list went on and on. The woman would be going through quite a few sleepless nights to get these done, but when she did she should be able to justify calling herself a master Engineer.

That was something she wanted to be able to call herself for a long time now. It was something she was excited for and she couldn't wait to begin doing more things with the capabilities. She'd probably dabble in crafting weapons next. Then armour, but all in all she was excited to begin working to make this village a much better place overall. She just didn't know what to do to improve it first. However she'd figure it out and start working on it soon enough.

Crafting 3 of the following.

Spoiler:

I do have Okane's permission to use this recipe

These will be done at, we'll say noon my time (CST) on the 16th. (That's a few minutes later than this, but I like nice even numbers)

She had finished her new toys. To be perfectly honest, she’d finished them a while ago but she let herself take a rather nice break for a few days before starting on the next project. One didn’t effectively master a craft every day you know. She was now quite confident that she could manage to create just about anything in relation to engineering. Buildings, ships, complicated devices. Explosives of all kinds, traps, and the like. Now it was time to focus on weapons, on crafting the tools one might utilize in order to deal death to one's enemies. She would start with kunai. The simplest of tools for death that a shinobi might craft. Knives that were generally used for both close quarters brawling or thrown. The blades would be double edged, so that when used properly it would be a dangerous tool to a target no matter how it was used. Melting down the steel and reforming into knives with a mold, Azalea would be hard at work in the force, ensuring that her quality was good.

Finishing the above crafting and then crafting 2 steel kunai with 2 units of Steel. Time required is 12 hours each since Azalea is a civilian which totals out to 24 hours.

Kunai:

Kunai finished, she would admire them in the light for a few minutes before nodding to herself and moving on the next weapons. She needed to get a handle on creating better quality weapons as quickly as she could manage and for that she'd have to move on to the next batch. Rather than a kunai now, she would create two Wakizashi, a shorter sword that Samurai, and shinobi too at times, carried with them. It wasn't as long as a full length Katana, and could be used much more readily in enclosed spaces. Much like a dagger would in many circumstances. The forge, still hot from the crafting of the Kunai would sing again and the ringing of her hammer would be heard as she began the process of forming the deadly weapons. It would take a couple of days to finish them, but once she had she would be able to move onto the next item on her list. Which would probably be a katana or something. For now though she'd keep her focus on what she was working on now. Which were two wakizashi that would be of higher quality then the two kunai she'd made.

Crafting two Steel Wakizashi using 2 units of steel, time required is 24 hours each due to Azalea being a civilian.

Wakizashi:

Putting the finishing touches on the two wakizashi, Azalea would be the picture of concentration, tongue sticking out of one side of her lips a little bit as she focused on her task. Making the final touches perfect. With a sigh of relief, and a final 'tink' of the detailing pick, she'd step away from the last of the two wakizashi's, a smile on her face as she inspected her craftsmanship. They were beautiful, and they represented another milestone in her crafting that she had managed to clear. Now however she would move onto another hurdle. If she could handle the next set then she could confidently advertise herself as a master weapon smith. Which was an important step for her future.

One of each, a Tanto, another Wakizashi, and a Katana. These however would be made with Ebony, a much stronger material than steel and more difficult to work with. Managing to create high quality weapons with it would be a hallmark of her skill and she could confidently say she'd mastered her craft at that point. For a moment, she day dreamed of creating a legendary sword that was used by a powerful warrior. A well known weapon that would earn her fame and recognition across the world. Shaking her head, she snapped herself out of her day dreams and buckled down to begin working on the three weapons. The tanto would be first she though, she'd work her way up the sizes. So she would go Tanto, Wakizashi, and then Katana. Heating up the forge, she began her work.

Crafting one of each of the following weapons using 1 unit of Ebony each. Crafting time of each is 3 days for a total of 9 days.

Spoiler:

And that was it, her craftsmanship when it came to weaponry was perfect now. She could tell that as she put the final touches on the last of the three weapons. She had tested the edges of each by dropping a straw upon them, and each of them cut the straw with it's own weight. Each weapon was perfectly black, reflecting small amounts of light due to their lack of a matte finish. Each was beautiful, each was perfect in her eyes. Now however, it was time to start work on her biggest project yet. She would begin work on a grand facility for shinobi to train with much more efficiency. She'd already called in the contractors, already located the space, and had the funds to begin it. The blueprints were in her desk and she reached into it and looked over them fondly. A mile long on each side, six floors, each one 300 meters from floor to ceiling on each. The first floor was set aside for the showers and practice equipment depot. Along with bunks for those who had worked too hard to get all the way home.

Each floor at room between each one to fit dirt, and stone so that shinobi could practice earth jutsu without risk. 100 meters between each floor was dedicated to this space as a matter of fact. Making the buildings over all height at 2400 meters tall. It would definitely be one of the largest facilities in the village. Something that Azalea was quite proud of. Work would begin soon, and she wanted to be on hand when it did. So she took the blueprints and left to begin work on the facility.

Finishing the above weapons and beginning work on the following building for Konoha.

Spoiler:

Paying 1,500,000 million for it, putting me at 298,000 remaining. The crafting time of the building takes two weeks despite my master craftsman so it will be finished on 5/18/2020.

Azalea was a happy woman.

She had her anvil, crucible, and furnace delivered she had her materials, and she had an order. Her very first order from another individual. To say this excited her to no end was an understatement and as she fired up the forge, and obtained the ebony from her side table she was humming a happy little tune to herself as she began to heat the metal into a molten substance. The metal would be heated in the forge while she set the mold for the weapons along the track for the molten metal to flow into. A rapier, and a scythe. The sickle shaped weapon was 6 feet long along the vertical surface with a 1 cm thickness, providing a solid weapon. The sickle itself stretched three feet out from the shaft, curving wickedly.

The rapier was 42 inches long, with the blade length being 28 of it. It was 4 millimetres thick and it would be dyed white with a red scabbard. The scythe, a weapon so large it could have no scabbard would be dyed red in places designated in the request. It was a simple enough order but it would start getting her name out there in the world. She had finished the Grand Konoha Training Academy, and that would give her fame as an architect. However these would start her on the path to fame as a weapon crafter as well.

Beginning the following two craftings, total time 6 days from this post.

Starlight and Crescent Rose:

The final bit was done, the finishing details on the equipment was now complete and the two weapons were finished. One was a scythe 6 feet in vertical length with a 3 foot long blade that curved wickedly. The weapon was dyed red in places and the original colour of the ebony was allowed to show in others. The second piece was a more elegant weapon in Azalea's opinion. A rapier, made of the same material as the scythe. Although this was completely dyed white. Both weapons would serve their owners well and Azalea set them aside for them to be ready to be picked up.

Now it was time to work on the next craft. She could forge weapons and engineering marvels. Now, she needed to be able to forge armour. She would start simple, bracers of differing quality to hone her skill and craftsmanship. They took fewer material to create and were therefore highly cost efficient. She took the steel she'd bought from Yoshiro and began to heat up the forge, her hammer, tongs, and such already around her and within arms reach. Her leather apron protecting her from any sparks that might fly. It was time to get started then.

Crafting the following items in order.
2x

Steel Arm Bracers C Rank:

2x

Steel Arm Bracers B rank:

Total crafting time 3 days and this will end with Azalea being able to create A rank armor.

Also finishing the weapon crafting above.
