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

Page 177

Now, a long time has passed, and the situation in Kirigakure has changed drastically.

The bamboo-cutting clan has basically changed its appearance.

Now, it is the Kaguya clan.

As for the Thunder Blade, it fell into the hands of the Hozuki clan.

The Third Mizukage felt no remorse towards Raiga Kurosuki for his past actions.

I was just disappointed by Raiga Kurosuki's颓废 (颓废 is a difficult word to translate directly, but it implies a state of being listless, dispirited, or demoralized) state.

"Raiya's situation is probably not very optimistic."

"If he is still so dejected, I don't think he is worthy of a Zanpakuto."

"but"

The Third Mizukage remembered their past relationship.

Furthermore, both Juzo Biwa and Suigetsu Hozuki underwent a transformation after obtaining their Zanpakuto.

"Qing, you can go and take a look."

"If Raiga can return to normal, it's not impossible to let him give it a try."

Qing was stunned for a moment.

"Yes, Mizukage-sama."

However, after leaving the Mizukage Building, Ao did not immediately go to find Raiga Kurosuki. Instead, he planned to return to Forging Island first to inform Uehara Shu about the situation.

A series of knocking sounds reached Qing's ears.

Qing subconsciously looked over.

Then you see a monument erected in the square of the central island.

The top part is half of what looks like the tail of a giant snake.

"Could it be the tail of the ten-thousand-snake demon?"

Qing walked over.

"It really is"

Back to Forging Island.

Aojo first told Uehara Osamu about Kurosu Raiga's situation.

"The Mizukage said that Raiga-senpai is very depressed?"

"Yes, alcoholism, staying up late, binge eating, he no longer looks like a ninja."

Uehara Shu knew that Kurosuki Raiga's situation was probably not good at the moment.

But I didn't expect it to be this bad.

In the original storyline, of the three surviving members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, Uehara Shu thought the worst was Raiga Kurosuki.

After feeling lost about Kirigakure, Juzo Biwa joined the Akatsuki organization.

He died in the Tailed Beast Ball while protecting his comrades.

Suigetsu Hozuki died at the hands of Kisame Hoshigaki because Suigetsu Hozuki betrayed the village.

However, Uehara Osamu now feels that there are some doubts about that matter.

One point is that Yagura was already under Obito Uchiha's control at that time. For a Kage to frame someone...

Another point is that Riwa's approval rating of Suigetsu Hozuki has reached an upper-middle level.

In the world of Akame ga Kill!, Riva was wrongfully imprisoned.

So, what about Suigetsu Hobutsu-ki?

Could he have been wrongly imprisoned as well?

Given Obito Uchiha's situation, it's highly likely he would do something like that.

It can both retaliate against Kirigakure.

They could also lure Kisame Hoshigaki into the Akatsuki organization.

Kill two birds with one stone.

Regardless of whether Suigetsu Hobutsuki was wronged, Uehara Osamu believed that he lived a relatively positive life.

Only the Black Hoe Raiga.

During his defection, he took one of Ranmaru with him, then found a mine and became its ruler.

But he's still a bit neurotic.

It seems like they haven't gotten over the incident of being defeated by Might Guy.

Then he was defeated by Naruto and other genin.

His mindset, aura, and strength are all unworthy of an elite Jonin.

"By the way, Xiu, the village brought back the piece of the ten thousand snake tail that was cut off by the pufferfish demon, and put it up in the square as a monument. Many people are looking at it."

Uehara Osamu raised an eyebrow.

"It seems that Lord Mizukage wants to use this matter to spread his influence even further."

Qing nodded.

"Defeating Orochimaru is indeed a morale booster for our Hidden Mist Village."

"The Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist's crushing defeat is now mentioned far less often."

"And even if people from other ninja villages bring it up, we can respond by mentioning Orochimaru's defeat."

"It's as if our Hidden Mist Village has truly stood up again."

Monument, sculpture

In Uehara Osamu's view, these things were all things that could significantly boost morale and team cohesion.

On the surface, it doesn't seem to have much practical significance.

However, its influence is actually quite significant.

Just like the Leaf Village.

The existence of the Hokage Rock may not matter to adult ninjas, but it has a significant impact on students at the Ninja Academy and young ninjas.

So many young Konoha ninjas say they want to become Hokage in the future, and this factor accounts for a significant portion of that.

But the tail of the giant snake gave Uehara Osamu a clue.

Currently, most of the ninja tools created by Uehara Osamu possess special abilities.

A large portion of these contain biological materials.

The ichthyosaur in the nautilus, the skeleton of the Skull Emperor, the demon core of the lightning-struck blade, and the biological organs possessed by the water dragon.

This gave Uehara Osamu some inspiration.

Since the materials provided by the system can be used to create extraordinary ninja tools.

If I obtain similar materials in this world, can I also create extraordinary ninja tools?

"As a creature of Ryuchi Cave, Manda is very powerful."

"In addition to his powerful physique, he also possesses Sage Chakra."

"If such a creature were placed in the world of Akame ga Kill!, it would clearly be considered a dangerous creature."

It was just a piece of its tail, which Uehara Shu didn't think much of.

However, if he could obtain a complete Manda corpse and study it carefully, Uehara Shu felt that he should be able to forge a decent ninja tool.

"Many creatures within the three sacred sites of spirit beasts can be considered dangerous creatures."

"However, the time is not yet right to use them as materials to create ninja tools."

Uehara Osamu knew very well.

The three sacred sites for summoning beasts appear to have no connection.

Even the relationship between Gamabunta, Manda, and Katsuyu deteriorated due to the changes in the relationships between Orochimaru, Tsunade, Jiraiya, and others.

However, Uehara Shu completely disbelieves that these three sacred sites for summoning beasts simultaneously chose three ninjas from Konoha without prior consultation. Even if there was no consultation, there must have been some tacit understanding.

Otherwise, why would they all choose Konoha ninjas?

Aside from Konoha, are there no other ninja villages left?

Moreover, humans are humans.

A summoned beast is a summoned beast.

If Uehara Shu were to attack one of the summoned beasts, the other summoned beasts would also be wary of him.

"But there will definitely be opportunities in the future."

"When I have enough strength."

"Once I've crafted enough ninja tools..."

"Wait until the members of the Death Squad are strong enough."

"It's not impossible to create ninja tools using the Ten-Tails as the material."

Uehara Shu thought for a while and then came to his senses.

"Senior Qing, let's go take a look."
