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

A shockwave suddenly appeared.

The mist was abruptly cleaved in two.

Uehara Shu turned and ran in the opposite direction from his water clone.

In addition, there was another water clone of Uehara Shu ahead.

The Integrity Knights had no doubts.

After confirming that there were two figures in front of him, he didn't think Alice was missing from the group.

"You can't run away!"

The Integrity Knights are clearly stronger than Uehara Osamu.

Even though Uehara Shu had already undergone the special training of Pipa Juzo.

I learned three new Water Release ninjutsu.

"Water Release: Water Prison Technique!"

A giant water sphere appeared, trapping the Integrity Knight inside.

However, the time they were trapped was not long.

The Integrity Knights are getting closer and closer to Uehara Osamu.

"boom!"

With a loud metallic clang, Juzo Biwa sheathed his guillotine.

The head of an Integrity Knight rolled to the ground, its eyes wide open in disbelief.

Pipa Juzo looked at the guillotine in his hand.

During a fierce battle, numerous breaches appeared above.

The knife looks like it's about to break at any moment.

"The decapitation sword is indeed a bit lacking."

Previously, as one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist were considered sacred by Juzo Biwa.

However, after experiencing a crushing defeat against Matt Daly.

After hearing about the information Uehara Osamu had given about the Blacksmith's Summoning Sanctuary.

Pipa Juzo realized something.

The master blacksmith back then could have forged many more and better ninja swords, but because of his "selfishness," he limited the number of the Seven Ninja Swords of Kirigakure to seven.

Juzo Biwa's attitude towards the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist changed.

The sacred feeling that the Seven Ninja Swords of Kirigakure held in Juzo Biwa's heart vanished.

Pipa Juzo plunged his guillotine into the corpse of the Integrity Knight.

A surge of attraction descended, and the blood on the corpse was absorbed by the decapitation blade.

The blade of the decapitation sword was slowly being repaired.

"It can only absorb blood for repair."

"This ability is actually meaningless."

"Only broken swords need repair; if they're not broken, isn't that enough?"

"The Kiriichimonji that was repaired and forged has the ability to be unhealed, which is much more useful than the Executioner's Blade."

"If I had Kiriichimonji instead of the Executioner's Blade, these two would have been defeated long ago."

Pipa Juzo looked in the direction that Urahara Shu had left.

"I wonder how things are going with Xiu."

Once the decapitation sword was repaired, Pipa Juzo immediately chased after the direction that Shangyuan Xiu had left in.

At this point, the Integrity Knights had caught up with Uehara Osamu.

"Kid, where did you hide that girl? Tell me and I might spare your life!"

The Integrity Knight spoke calmly.

Having confirmed that there were two figures ahead, the Integrity Knights gave chase without hesitation. However, upon catching up, they discovered that the other figure was not Alice, but a clone of Uehara Osamu.

This made the Integrity Knights feel extremely bad.

The Integrity Knights felt they had been tricked by Uehara Shu.

But more importantly, there's the punishment one will face upon returning to the church if the mission is not completed and the goal is lost.

This is something the Integrity Knights absolutely cannot accept.

The answer to the Integrity Knights was a ninjutsu used by Uehara Osamu.

"Water escape, water dragon bullet technique!"

A large amount of water gathered from all directions and, under the influence of Uehara Shu's chakra, transformed into the shape of a water dragon, which lunged menacingly at the Integrity Knight.

The Integrity Knight snorted coldly.

"Stubborn!"

With a single sword strike, he met the water dragon head-on.

"boom!"

A huge collision sounded.

The water dragon was cleaved in two, but the Integrity Knights also took a few steps back.

Uehara Shu's eyes lit up.

"The water-style ninjutsu I'm using now seems to be more powerful than before. Does that mean I've improved?"

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

"Progress through battle."

"I'm improving even faster than when I was in special training before."

This gave Uehara Shu, who had originally planned to use the Water Clone Technique again to escape separately, disrupt the Integrity Knights' judgment, and buy time, a new idea suddenly came to him.

Uehara Shu stared intently at the Integrity Knight opposite him.

"Then, let's do it again!"

Uehara Shu formed the hand seals again.

"Water Release: Water Fang Bullet Technique!"

Unlike the Water Dragon Bullet Technique, the Water Fang Bullet Technique involves creating multiple spears formed from condensed water streams and shooting them at the opponent. The individual power of the Water Fang Bullet is not as great as that of the Water Dragon Bullet.

However, the advantage of water-based bullets lies in their large quantity.

One after another, water-escape spears shot towards the Integrity Knights.

The Integrity Knights are indeed much stronger than Uehara Shu.

However, it is impossible to completely ignore an attack like that of Uehara Osamu.

Instead, you need to block or dodge.

For a moment, the situation reached a stalemate.

Uehara Osamu's strength is insufficient, but his foundation is good, and without considering the consumption of energy, he can unleash a power that exceeds what he can normally exert.

The Integrity Knights also realized this.

Therefore, there was no rush.

Instead, he planned to wait until Uehara Shu was nearly exhausted before making his move and delivering a fatal blow to him.

The Integrity Knights did not believe that Uehara Osamu could escape from their grasp.

But what the Integrity Knights didn't know was that Uehara Osamu had his own reasons for making this choice.

"Calculating the time, it should be almost done."

A voice rang in Uehara Shu's mind.

Congratulations, host, on completing the mission.

Do you wish to leave the Dimensional Materials instance?

Chapter 20 I know you're in a hurry, but don't rush.

Uehara Osamu smiled.

"Thank you for your sparring, goodbye!"

The Integrity Knight's heart skipped a beat; he sensed something was wrong.

Sure enough, the next moment, right before the eyes of the Integrity Knights, Uehara Shu's figure vanished in a very strange way, disappearing into thin air.

There is no trace at all.

It was as if it had never happened before.

Uehara Osamu's last words before disappearing made the Integrity Knights feel like they were being thoroughly mocked.

"Kid!"

Uehara Shu returned to the forging island.

The figure of Pipa Juzo appeared next to Uehara Shu.

What was in front of Uehara Shu was the material for forging the Blue Rose Sword.

"Xiu, is this the material used to forge a ninja sword?"

Uehara Osamu nodded.

"Thank you, Senior Juzo."

"You're welcome."
