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

A contractor compatible with the Water Dragon's possession has been detected. Riva's approval rating: above average, attribute compatibility: above average, overall compatibility: good. Should we guide the contract process?

Uehara Shu's brow twitched slightly.

"guide!"

The water dragon succeeded in fulfilling the contract.

Match rate: Good.

The water dragon's possession ability was amplified to a certain 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.

Congratulations, host, for obtaining the ultimate level of Water Release talent.

After perfection, is there the ultimate?

"I wonder what this ultimate level of talent will look like, and what changes it can bring to me."

"But the gap between it and the perfect level should be greater than the gap between perfect and good."

Uehara Osamu became expectant.

opposite.

Suigetsu Hobutaki channeled his chakra into his kodachi.

As the chakra entered the water dragon's possession within the hilt of the sword, the contract guided by Uehara Shu was completed. Suigetsu Hobuki suddenly felt a sense of closeness, which was reflected back from the water dragon's possession.

The Watermelon Pufferfish Demon lowered its head, looking at the Water Dragon Possession, its eyes widening slightly.

"It's somewhat similar to Samehada, both giving people a feeling of life."

"But it's also somewhat different."

"Samehada is like a life form with the characteristics of a ninja sword."

"And the Water Dragon Possession is like a living ninja sword."

The Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Demon looked up at Uehara Xiu.

"Minister Uehara, it seems that the Water Dragon Possession has acknowledged me. I feel a completely different feeling than last time."

Uehara Osamu nodded and pointed to the sea behind the screen that had been pushed aside.

"Why don't you give it a try, Senior Fugu Demon?"

"it is good."

Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Demon looked out at the sea.

Afterwards, the water dragon was raised to support it.

No hand seals are needed.

A stream of water rushed straight up.

Under the control of Suigetsu Hobutsuki, it constantly changes shape.

The eyes of the Watermelon Pufferfish Demon lit up, and shone very brightly.

"You can use a water-style ability without forming hand seals?"

"That's really... amazing."

"When used in conjunction with Water Release, it can make the opponent virtually defenseless."

"It doesn't consume much chakra."

"Moreover, this knife is also very sharp and tough."

"It's much stronger than the ninja swords of the Land of Iron, no, even stronger than the ninja swords of the Forging Island."

In an instant, Suigetsu Hozuki imagined various ways he could use the Water Dragon Possession technique to fight.

"Perhaps the Mizukage is right. Losing Samehada is not a bad thing for me."

"Water Dragon Possession would suit me better than Samehada."

Suigetsu Hozuki is eager to head to the battlefield.

Use it on Konoha ninjas.

No, it was a battle fought using the Water Dragon Possession technique against the Hozuki clan ninjas.

"Let you steal my Samehada."

"Now I have a better ninja sword than Samehada."

"And you haven't even found a single person suitable to use Samehada yet."

"What? The Seven Ghost Lanterns?"

"They're nowhere near as good as my Death Squad!"

In fact, Samehada is not weak.

It's just that Samehada and Suigetsu Hozuki aren't that compatible.

In the hands of Suigetsu Hozuki, Samehada and Suigetsu Hozuki together would only reach the level of elite Jonin.

Moreover, among elite Jonin, he is not considered a strong one.

But in Kisame Hoshigaki's hands, it was a completely different story.

The combined strength of the two is quite astonishing.

Even Might Guy only managed to defeat Kisame Hoshigaki after opening the seventh gate of the Eight Gates.

It's worth noting that even Madara Uchiha could put up a fight against Might Guy in his seventh gate form.

In his eighth gate form, he could even break Madara Uchiha's ribs.

Compared to Might Guy, Might Guy's Eight Gates technique has reached a higher level.

Zanpakuto have a formal contract process.

Only when a certain level of compatibility is reached can Uehara Shu guide the contract process.

The Seven Ninja Swordsmen did not have such a requirement.

However, there is also the issue of compatibility.

It can be used even if there is no compatibility.

However, a high degree of compatibility allows for better performance.

This is especially evident in Samehada.

After all, Samehada is the only one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen who possesses self-awareness.

"Senior Fuguki, it seems I was right, the Water Dragon Possession has indeed acknowledged you."

"Minister Uehara, thank you."

Uehara Osamu smiled.

"Senior Fuguki, I hope you can develop the Water Dragon Possession ability well, defeat more enemies from Kirigakure, protect the village, and allow the Water Dragon Possession to perform well."

"Minister Uehara, please rest assured, I will certainly not fall into the possession of the water dragon."

Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Demon gripped the hilt of his sword tightly.

In his heart, Suigetsu Hobutsu said to himself.

I must prove to those damned Hozuki clan that Suiryu Possession is stronger than Samehada!

Moreover, the Water Dragon Possession technique is definitely more suitable for me than Samehada.

Suigetsu Hozuki doesn't really like engaging in close-quarters combat with his opponents.

Before acquiring Samehada, Suigetsu Hozuki had two main methods.

One method is water escape.

Another method involves transforming hair into thousands of pieces.

The former, most of which are remote.

The latter appears to be a close-to-mid-range attack, but in Suigetsu Hobutsuki's view, it cannot be considered an active attack, but rather a defensive counterattack.

It doesn't mean you have to actively approach the enemy to use it.

Instead, it should be used only after the enemy has managed to get close to you.

This will yield better results.

Unlike Kisame Hoshigaki.

Besides his Water Release techniques, Kisame Hoshigaki is also very strong in close-quarters taijutsu.

More importantly, Kisame Hoshigaki is also extremely skilled in chakra absorption techniques, and when combined with Samehada's chakra absorption ability, there will be a synergistic effect.

This is an advantage that the Watermelon Mountain Fugu Demon doesn't have.

For Suigetsu Hozuki, Samehada only added the ability to absorb chakra, but it made his fighting style more uncomfortable.

The current possession of the water dragon has clearly satisfied the Water Dragon Demon of Suigetsu Mountain.

He enhanced his water-escape ability.

It can be combined with one's own needlework skills.

"Congratulations, Pufferfish Demon."

Pipa Juzo offered his congratulations.

Suigetsu Hozuki looked at Hibiki Juzo and smiled.

"From now on, we will all be members of the Death Squad."

Uehara Osamu provided further explanation.

“Senior Fuguki, Water Dragon Possession can enhance the ability to control liquids, that’s one thing. In addition, if you control your own blood, you will get even better results.”

"However, the hilt of the sword that the water dragon possesses is relatively weak, so we need to be careful."
