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

Uehara Osamu returned to his small house.

There used to be some people around, but now they've all left.

Only three people remained on the entire forging island.

Uehara Osamu, Arafune Ji, and Kisame Hoshigaki.

Moreover, Kisame Hoshigaki will be leaving soon.

Kisame Hoshigaki is not a member of the Forging Island, but a mission ninja, and an elite genius among mission ninjas. Given the current situation in Kirigakure, Kisame Hoshigaki will be very busy.

In fact it is.

The Third Mizukage has already said that Kisame Hoshigaki and Zabuza will be sent to the Mizukage Building tomorrow morning for a mission.

Uehara Shu glanced at the sky.

"Kisame, you should go back now. You have a mission tomorrow."

Kisame Hoshigaki hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"it is good."

As a mission-oriented ninja, prioritizing missions is Kisame Hoshigaki's instinct.

"Wilderness Two, go and choose any small house nearby as your future residence, and then move your things over."

"Yes, Minister Uehara."

The two left one after the other, and Uehara Shu turned and went into the room.

"Water Release: Water Clone Technique!"

A surge of chakra erupted from Uehara Shu's body.

The next moment, a figure appeared next to Uehara Xiu.

A figure exactly like Uehara Shuu's.

It was Uehara Shu's water clone.

The clone technique is widespread in the ninja world.

Aside from the most basic clone technique that creates illusory projections, almost every ninja village has its own unique clone technique.

The water clones of Kirigakure.

Shadow Clone Technique and Multiple Shadow Clone Technique in Konoha.

The earth clone of Iwagakure Village.

The sand clones of Sunagakure.

There are also paper clones, snake clones, wood clones, crow clones, and dog clones.

As a genin and a blacksmith, Uehara Shu didn't have many ninjutsu skills.

Aside from basic taijutsu and the use of ninja tools, there are only two ninjutsu techniques.

One is the technique of water clones.

The other one is the technique of concealing oneself in the mist.

Both of these ninjutsu techniques are geared towards support roles.

In most cases, a blacksmith does not need to fight.

Even if you encounter danger, running is better than fighting.

Both of Uehara Shu's water-style ninjutsu techniques can greatly help with "running away".

As Uehara Shu recalled the process of using the water clone, his eyes lit up.

Uehara Shu stretched out his hand, looked at his palm, and gathered water chakra in his hand.

"It's a completely different feeling from before."

"Smoother"

"It consumes less chakra."

"Even the time required to form hand seals has become shorter."

"And there is still the possibility of further improvement."

"To put it in person, before, water-style chakra was like a nodding acquaintance to me."

"And now, they have become my dearest family and friends."

"Is this what excellent-level Water Release talent is?"

Chapter 13 One person is a guard

Uehara Osamu smiled.

"It's much stronger than my previous Water Release talent."

"Given this situation, if I specialize in Water Release from now on, I can definitely become a very good Water Release ninja."

"Becoming a Jonin is not impossible."

This gave Uehara Osamu more confidence in facing the "cruel" Kirigakure.

If Uehara Shu had possessed this Water Release talent before, he would have definitely tried every means to improve his Water Release skills.

But now, the blacksmith system undoubtedly has a much brighter future.

"But I still need to learn Water Release techniques."

The blacksmith system can give Uehara Shu a brighter future.

However, learning some water-style techniques to improve one's self-defense capabilities is absolutely the right thing to do.

Especially for Uehara Osamu now.

Uehara Osamu's current strength is far from sufficient.

Moreover, with an excellent level of Water Release talent, learning Water Release techniques should be quite efficient.

Uehara Shu recalled that in the original story, when Uchiha Itachi first learned the Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique, he only needed to hear Uchiha Fugaku explain it once before he mastered it.

For some ninjas, it can take dozens of days, or even longer, to learn a single ninjutsu.

However, Uehara Shu was unsure whether Uchiha Itachi's Fire Release talent was excellent or even better.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

There was a knock on the door.

Uehara Shu opened the door.

A figure stood at the doorway.

middle aged.

He has a fierce appearance.

A cross-shaped scar lies on the right side of his face.

He was dressed in a smart ninja outfit.

One hand grips the hilt of a ninja sword.

The blade was enormous and was carried on his shoulder.

It has serrated teeth similar to those of Kisame Hoshigaki.

A violent aura emanated from the middle-aged man.

A name surfaced in Uehara Osamu's mind.

Loquat has ten treasures.

"Oshu Uehara?"

"Senior Juzo".

Pipa Juzo put down the decapitation sword.

Because it was too heavy, it pierced the ground.

A section of the blade sank in.

"Lord Mizukage has assigned me to the guard duty of Forging Island. From today onwards, your safety and the safety of Forging Island will be my responsibility. You will be safe until I die."

This was somewhat unexpected by Uehara Osamu.

The Third Mizukage previously said that he would arrange for a guard team to come.

Uehara Osamu thought it would involve drawing one or two ninjas from the Anbu, along with a few other ninjas.

Unexpectedly, it was Pipa Juzo who came.

Uehara Osamu had a pretty good impression of the Loquat Juzo.

This person is somewhat similar to Kisame Hoshigaki.

Their fates were somewhat similar.

As a survivor of the defeat against Might Guy, Juzo Biwa received much criticism after returning to Kirigakure.

Many people regard those Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist as a disgrace to the Hidden Mist Village.

The four who died are already dead, so we don't care about these things anymore.

But those who are alive have to bear those rumors.

In this situation, Juzo Biwa and others are actually somewhat similar to Sakumo Hatake of Konoha.

The specific events may differ, but the outcomes are similar.

One is the failure of the mission.
