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

But since it is good, Uehara Shu has no reason not to guide the contract.

Given the Skeleton Emperor's situation, Uehara Shuu really couldn't imagine who in the Hidden Mist Village could achieve an excellent or better compatibility with him.

If it's good enough, Uehara Osamu is satisfied.

The Third Mizukage sent his chakra into the Skeleton Emperor.

The next moment, we saw that the Skeleton Emperor had changed slightly.

However, the changes are not obvious enough.

The Third Mizukage placed the Skeleton King near a nearby landscape plant.

The leaves were slowly turning yellow and withered.

The Third Mizukage's eyes lit up.

“I really did it.”

Guided by Uehara Shu, the moment the contract was completed, the Third Mizukage suddenly felt a strong sense of familiarity and closeness emanating from the Skeleton Emperor; even the axe handle felt warm.

"Does this mean I've gained the Skeleton King's approval?"

The Third Mizukage looked down at the axe in his hand, then at your green plant.

"The aging process is rather slow."

"However, this ability is extremely special."

"It's probably just because I haven't mastered it yet. Once I have, I'll definitely be able to unleash the Skeleton Emperor's power even better, just like Juzo."

The Skeleton Emperor contract was successful.

Match rate: Good.

The Skeleton King's abilities have been amplified to some extent.

Congratulations, host, you have obtained a good-level Water Release talent.

The system detected that the host already possessed a perfect-level Water Release talent and began talent synthesis.

The host's Water Release talent has been enhanced, but it has failed to break through to the next level. There is still one good level of Water Release talent needed to break through to the next level.

The Third Mizukage withdrew his chakra.

“Shu, I feel something similar to what Juzo and the others are feeling.”

"Lord Mizukage, it seems that the Skeleton Emperor has acknowledged you."

Pipa Juzo offered his congratulations to the Third Mizukage.

"Congratulations, Lord Mizukage."

The Third Mizukage looked at Uehara Shu and smiled.

"Shu, thank you. I'm very satisfied with this Zanpakuto. I will use it well and not tarnish its reputation."

The Third Mizukage paused for a moment as he spoke.

"By the way, Xiu, is there anything you're lacking on Forging Island?"

Uehara Shu replied, "Reporting to the Mizukage, in addition to the Zanpakuto I forge, the Forging Island has now developed a new business: the creation of scalpels."

"This is the forging technology of the Iron Country, which is something that we, the Forging Island, cannot compete with for the time being."

"The feedback from the medical department has also been very good."

"However, currently, besides me, there is only one other blacksmith on Forging Island."

"We're a bit too busy."

"I hope the Mizukage can give me a list of blacksmiths from the Forging Island, along with their personalities and performance, so I can recruit some of them back."

The Third Mizukage nodded.

“No problem at all. I’ll arrange for the ANBU ninjas to do it right away. Once the data is collected, we’ll send it directly to the forging island.”

"Thank you, Lord Mizukage."

"You are welcome."

After Uehara Shu and Biwa Juzo left, the Third Mizukage looked at the Skeleton Emperor beside him and had an idea.

The next moment, his figure flashed.

Soon after, the Third Mizukage appeared on the open sea.

"Let me test just how powerful this Skeleton Emperor is when I go all out!"

Chapter 101 The Broken Sword Unforged Sword Competition

Chapter 101 Broken Blade, or Not, the Blade Forging Competition?

The Third Mizukage raised the Skull Emperor high in his hand.

A large amount of chakra was poured into the Skeleton Emperor by the Third Mizukage.

An astonishing aura erupted.

next moment.

The third generation of Mizukage looks ahead.

Not far below the surface of the sea, a fish the size of a small boat was swimming leisurely, completely unaware of the danger that was about to befall it.

Just then, the Third Mizukage's attack landed.

The Skeleton King slashed down fiercely.

"Crack!"

Extremely sharp.

In addition, the Third Mizukage's immense power struck the giant fish with almost no resistance, smoothly cleaving it in two.

At this point, the big fish realized what had happened.

But it was too late.

The Third Mizukage's eyes lit up.

"not bad!"

"Even without the power of aging, this performance alone is no worse than that of a blunt knife."

"When I bring down this axe, there are only a handful of people in the entire ninja world who can withstand it."

But this is not the end.

As you can see, under the influence of the Skeleton Emperor's power and the power of aging, the flesh and blood at the big fish's wounds are rotting at a visible rate.

Even the bones began to crumble.

"As expected, the more chakra I use, the stronger the aging effect becomes!"

"This time, it only affected the area around the wound."

"If I master the Skeleton Emperor even better in the future, will my opponent just rot into mud with a single swing of my axe?"

The Third Mizukage stared intently at the Skeleton Emperor.

"Everyone says I'm the weakest Mizukage in history, but what about now?"

"With the Skeleton Emperor at my disposal, once I get close, who can say they can definitely beat me, the first or the second generation?"

As for the three generations of shadow puppets...

The Third Mizukage, accompanied by the Skeleton Emperor, departed with satisfaction.

Before long, several ANBU ninjas came out, exchanged glances, and saw the shock in each other's eyes, but said nothing and simply cleaned up the scene quickly.

Uehara Shuu jumped suddenly as he looked at the numbers in the reputation bar on the semi-transparent screen in front of him.

It jumped directly from over 400 to over 600.

"If there are no surprises, this should be brought by the Skeleton Emperor."

"Did the Third Mizukage demonstrate the Skull Emperor's abilities in front of everyone else?"

"Most likely, they are ANBU ninjas."

"It hasn't been long. It seems that the Third Mizukage is quite concerned about the Skeleton Emperor, and probably has some obsession with his personal strength. After all, the Third Mizukage cares about his reputation."

"And strength can bring fame."

"In the original story, the Third Mizukage didn't even leave a name behind, making him arguably the least memorable Mizukage. But this world is different now."

Uehara Shu averted his gaze.

"My reputation has now reached over 600. As long as I recruit trainee blacksmiths and gain some reputation, reaching 1000 reputation points shouldn't be too difficult."

"Then we can do another ten-pull!"

Uehara Osamu proposed recruiting trainee blacksmiths, not only to reduce Arafune's workload but also to gain prestige.

Soon, the ANBU ninja delivered the information.

The information above is very clear.

This includes the blacksmith's previous skill level, age, family situation, personality, and current occupation.

Uehara Shura listed several rules.

First, those with excellent forging skills will be given priority.

Second, those with stable families will be given priority.

Third, those with good character will be given priority.

Fourth, priority will be given to those who are eager for income.

Uehara Shu knew very well what kind of blacksmith he wanted.

It doesn't need to be the best forging technique, because no matter how good it is, it's not as good as Uehara Osamu's.

There's no need for a strong pursuit of forging techniques, because Uehara Osamu recruited people to do the work.
