The Hidden Mist Blacksmith, forging the glory of the Ninja Sword Style!

"If we do this now, we will certainly offend Lord Mizukage."

"But it's worth it for the future of our Hozuki clan."

"Moreover, Lord Mizukage is already old."

the next day.

It's approaching evening.

Uehara Shu, carrying Nautilus, and Ao headed to Mizukage Island.

A member of the Anbu led the way.

"Minister Uehara, Senior Ao, this way."

Uehara Osamu nodded and followed.

Soon, the three of them arrived in front of a small building.

"Lord Mizukage has some matters to attend to and will be arriving later. The Hozuki clan members are also on their way, but they should be here soon. Minister Uehara and Senior Ao, please have a seat."

The ANBU ninja had barely finished speaking.

Then a series of footsteps sounded.

Uehara Osamu and Ao turned around.

An elderly man walked this way.

Upon seeing the old man, the ANBU ninja said, "Chief Uehara, Senior Ao, this is the head of the Hozuki clan."

But then, the ANBU ninja sensed something was wrong.

Because Hozuki Kazuhiko came alone.

They didn't bring Hozuki Mangetsu, or even any other members of the Hozuki clan.

"Senior Kazuhiko?"

Hozuki Kazuhiko glanced at the ANBU ninja but offered no explanation.

"I will explain to Lord Mizukage myself later."

Upon hearing Hozuki Kazuhiko's words, the Anbu ninja had no choice but to swallow his question.

Oni Deng Kazuhiko looked at Uehara Osamu.

Ao was someone Hozuki and Hiko knew. They knew he was a Jonin from Kirigakure and had recently performed a great service by successfully stealing a Byakugan from a Hyuga ninja in Konoha.

This is of great significance to Kirigakure.

Therefore, the only remaining possibility is that Uehara Shu is a blacksmith.

"So young!"

A thought suddenly occurred to Hozuki Kazuhiko.

"Has our Hozuki clan made a mistake in making this decision?"

But soon, Hozuki Kazuhiko shook his head.

"It can't be wrong."

"Only when the Hozuki clan reclaims the Seven Ninja Swords of Kirigakure is the Hozuki clan complete."

"Even if this young blacksmith can forge more ninja swords in the future, how many of them will be suitable for the Hozuki clan?"

"The Seven Ninja Swords of the Hidden Mist are seven in total."

"Even if this young blacksmith's ninja tools were given to the Hozuki clan, they wouldn't belong to the Hozuki clan."

"It can only be used temporarily."

"What does it mean to the Hozuki clan?"

"This is not the way for the Hozuki clan to rise again and become strong."

Uehara Shu looked at Hozuki Kazuhiko, and even though Hozuki Kazuhiko didn't say anything, Uehara Shu already had a bad feeling.

Chapter 93 I'm fed up with this from the Hozuki clan.

Only one member of the Hozuki clan arrived.

In this situation, it's definitely not about taking it back and letting family members try it one by one.

That would be too presumptuous.

And it would also offend the blacksmith himself.

Anyone with a brain wouldn't do that.

Therefore, the current situation is definitely that the Hozuki clan does not want the Nautilus ninja tool.

You don't like the Nautilus?

"Do you still have a problem with me, the blacksmith?"

"I anticipated that the situation of the bamboo plough family was complicated."

"What's going on with this Hozuki clan?"

Uehara Osamu didn't know much about the Hozuki clan.

All that is known is that Hozuki Mangetsu, the genius and hope of the Hozuki clan, died before he could become famous in the ninja world, which led to the further decline of the Hozuki clan.

Hozuki Suigetsu, on the other hand, was captured by Orochimaru and used as a test subject.

Apart from that, there is no information about other members of the Hozuki clan.

However, unlike the Bamboo Clan, there was no news of their extermination.

"No ninja would refuse a ninja tool that makes him stronger."

"No ninja clan would refuse a resource that is offered to them."

"Unless this thing is hindering something else."

A guess began to surface in Uehara Shu's mind.

"Could it be related to the Seven Ninja Swords of Kirigakure?"

The first thing that came to Uehara Osamu's mind was something that could be related to ninja tools and the Hozuki clan.

"It is said that within the Hozuki clan, there exists a scroll that can summon the Seven Ninja Swords of Kirigakure."

"It is also said that Hozuki Mangetsu is the only genius who can skillfully wield all seven ninja swords."

"But to use it skillfully, one must hold the ninja sword in one's hand, and not just touch it, but for a long time."

Just at this time.

"Crench!"

There was a sound of a door being pushed open.

A figure walked in.

Everyone stood up.

"Mizukage-sama."

The Third Mizukage glanced at Hozuki Kazuhiko, who was alone.

Then he went to the main seat and sat down.

"Xiu, Qing, sit down."

"Kazuhiko, sit down."

But Hozuki Kazuhiko did not sit down.

"Mizukage-sama."

"Kazuhiko, what's the matter? Sit down and talk. Today isn't a serious occasion."

Hozuki Kazuhiko nodded and sat down.

"Lord Mizukage, this must be the head of the forging department, that young master blacksmith, right?"

"good."

"You are really young and promising."

Hozuki Kazuhiko smiled at Uehara Osamu.

Uehara Osamu gave a brief response without saying anything.

"Lord Mizukage, I am very grateful that you thought of our Hozuki clan when this young master blacksmith created the new ninja tool."

"These past few years haven't been easy for our Hozuki clan."

"Since Lord Gengetsu passed away, the situation of our Hozuki clan has been deteriorating."

"Resources, industry, and the younger generation of ninjas in the family are all not very good."

"Back then, for the sake of Kirigakure, Lord Gengetsu took the initiative to bring out the Seven Ninja Swords of Kirigakure and give them to the village's elite ninjas, which is how the name of the Seven Ninja Swords of Kirigakure came about."

"It will be of great help to the village."

"But now, the village already has other ninja swords and ninja tools."

"But the situation for our Hozuki clan is even worse."

"Therefore, Lord Mizukage, our Hozuki clan wishes to reclaim the Seven Ninja Swords of Kirigakure."

"I believe the villagers can understand this as well."

"After all, the Seven Ninja Swords of Kirigakure were created at the insistence of Lord Gengetsu."

"The master blacksmith who forged the Seven Ninja Swords of Kirigakure was also a member of our Hozuki clan."

Hozuki Kazuhiko took a tough stance at the family meeting.

However, when he actually faced the Third Mizukage, he still lowered his stance.

First, play the victim; then give your reasons.
