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

"As for the lightning attribute, among the Hidden Mist Village, Raiga Kurosuki and Ameyuri Ringo are the best."

"Ringo Ameyuri's lightning release talent is stronger than Kurosuki Raiga's."

"However, Ringo Ameyuri also has a problem, which is that she is too young."

"If you're too young, you can't go to the battlefield."

"Even if I were to join, I wouldn't be able to face a very strong opponent, and it wouldn't be of much help in gaining prestige."

“But Kurosuki Raiga is different.”

"He is already an elite Jonin. If he obtains the Lightning Blade, his basic attributes will be further improved."

"The lightning strike blade is much stronger than the lightning knife."

"In that case, Raiga Kurosuki's strength will also undergo a qualitative change."

"It can bring me a lot of reputation rewards."

Shortly after, two members of the guard team returned.

"Minister Uehara."

"How is Captain Daejeon doing?"

"Reporting to Minister Uehara, Captain Ota is not in mortal danger, but his skin was severely burned by lightning and he needs surgery. In addition, his internal organs were also damaged in several places and he will need to rest for a while."

"I see."

Uehara Osamu glanced into the distance, towards the direction of the medical department.

"Ota is indeed a respectable ninja."

"I can sacrifice myself without hesitation."

Even with serious injuries, there was not a single complaint.

Uehara Shu couldn't help but think of a Konoha ninja from the original story.

Moonlight and Gale.

A genius among the spendthrifts.

At a young age, he became a special Jonin.

Skilled in swordsmanship.

It also possesses a special bloodline limit, Transparent Escape.

However, he was injured during the mission and has not fully recovered.

He has been living with illness for many years.

Logically speaking, the Moonlight Clan is a ninja clan, albeit a small one, but they still possess considerable assets.

Moonlight Gale was a genius before, so the missions he carried out must have paid well.

It's at least higher than a Chunin like Iruka.

A ninja like this, before recovering from a serious illness, should prioritize healing and recuperation, rather than going on missions.

However, Moonlight Gale had no choice but to work despite being ill.

He was coughing while working, and he even coughed up blood.

Still busy in the middle of the night.

Uehara Osamu felt it was impossible to say that it wasn't for the money, but because of his love for the job.

Moonlight Gale isn't a workaholic.

A person with a loving partner is unlikely to be a workaholic who works even when sick.

To think that such a result was too unfair to a genius ninja, a ninja who had made great contributions to the village, once injured, was the result of his actions.

"If all seriously injured ninjas were treated like this, they would surely hate the village."

"It's not surprising that rogue ninjas have appeared."

"Things might be a little better in Konoha."

"For example, the tasks assigned to Moonlight Hayate are relatively simple and easy."

"The Hidden Mist Village doesn't actually value this point much."

“I can’t change Kirigakure, but at least the forging club members are my subordinates, and I can slightly change their situation.”

Uehara Osamu decided to set aside a portion of the forging department's revenue.

At the same time, a portion is deducted from the income of the forging department members.

The two parties jointly established a fund.

Once a member joins this fund, they can receive assistance if they encounter any difficulties, such as serious illness, serious injury, or loss of the ability to continue working.

As for the members of the forging department who are unwilling to participate, Uehara Osamu will not force them.

After all, a selfish and short-sighted person is not qualified to receive Uehara Osamu's help.

"Once Daejeon recovers and returns, we can start making arrangements."

Ghost Lantern Island.

A member of the Hozuki clan was chosen.

Hozuki Kazuhiko looked at the young man in front of him.

"Hozuki Izumo".

"Lord Patriarch."

Hozuki Kazuhiko took out the Raito and handed it to Hozuki Izumo.

"I'm entrusting the Thunder Blade to you. In a few days, I will arrange for you to go to the battlefield. I hope you can fully unleash the Thunder Blade's power and surpass Black Hoshino Raiga."

"Surpassing Taketori Hikaru".

"With the Thunder Blade, I will rebuild the glory of my Hozuki clan."

"Let the world know that the Seven Ninja Swords of Hozuki are no weaker than Zanpakuto."

"The Seven Hōzuki are no weaker than the Shinigami Squad."

Hozuki Izumo was somewhat excited. He took the Raito and gripped it tightly.

Hearing Hozuki Kazuhiko's words, he nodded heavily.

"Please rest assured, clan leader, I will do my utmost to make the name of the Thunder Blade surpass that of all other Zanpakuto."

"Let the blood of Konoha ninja prove the strength of my Hozuki clan."

"We will absolutely not let Lei Dao down."

Hozuki Izumo, having obtained the Raito, couldn't wait to head to the training grounds.

Hozuki Kazuhiko couldn't help but look towards the direction of the forging island.

"I hope Izumo can quickly defeat a renowned Konoha ninja."

"To become famous overnight."

"In this way, we can reduce the impact of the Water Dragon Possession and the Suigetsu River Pufferfish on my Hozuki clan."

"Man Yue is indeed very talented and her performance is already quite good, but unfortunately, she is not old enough."

"Someone needs to uphold the reputation of the Hozuki clan before that."

"When the full moon grows up, no one can compare to it."

"At that time, my Hozuki clan can truly return to its peak."

Hozuki Kazuhiko felt a surge of excitement as he thought about this, and began to imagine the scene in his mind.

"My decision will not be wrong."

"What Zanpakuto, what Shinigami squad, what Uehara Osamu."

"In the end, they will all become stepping stones for my Hozuki clan to rebuild its reputation."

Chapter 118 This is far superior to the Thunder Blade.

Hozuki Izumo, carrying the Raito (Lightning Blade), headed to the battlefield in the Land of Fire.

At this time, Uehara Shuya also began forging the lightning blade.

The deduction and simulation have been completed.

"First, we'll shape the wood into a halberd shaft."

"After that, the metal is forged into the shape of a halberd blade, and then the two are joined together."

"The bones need to be ground and incorporated into the halberd blade."

"As for that sphere."

"It needs to be embedded between the halberd blade and the halberd shaft."

"That's how it looks on the blueprints."

"But this would make the connection between the halberd blade and the shaft less secure."

“However, since the water dragon can use me to wrap things up, I can naturally do the same with this lightning blade.”

After completing the forging of the lightning blade, Uehara Osamu decided to reinforce the connection points.

"No, if the Lightning Blade is for Lightning Release ninjas, then I can actually reinforce the entire halberd shaft."

"Lightning Release ninjas are not afraid of lightning."

Just like Kakashi and Sasuke Uchiha, who can gather Chidori in their hands.

It possesses the ability to control lightning.

Uehara Osamu took out a knife and began to work on the halberd shaft.

With the God's Gauntlets on, this posed no challenge for Uehara Shu.
