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

"Is this young blacksmith just too skilled?"

Taketori Hikaru's face darkened.

“Juzo Biwa, I don’t know what kind of plan you and the Mizukage have, but the Forging Island belongs to our Bamboo Clan. This is something the Mizukage promised.”

"Now that you say that a young blacksmith has forged a ninja sword of the same level as the Seven Ninja Swords of the Mist, fine, I believe you, but I need you to prove it to me."

"Bring that young blacksmith out here!"

Pipa Juzo looked back.

Pipa Juzo knew exactly what Uehara Shu was doing inside, and he knew very well that Uehara Shu absolutely could not be disturbed at this time.

If you get disturbed, all your previous efforts may be wasted.

With materials that are so hard to obtain, you can't make anything.

A ninja sword of the Kirigakure Seven Ninja Swords level that was about to be produced will die in its infancy due to a failed forging.

After Taketori Hikaru explained his reasons, Biwa Juzo felt that things were becoming even more difficult.

If Taketori Hikaru was just looking for trouble, Biwa Juzo felt that with his experience as one of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist and his own strength, he might be able to intimidate Taketori Hikaru.

To stop Taketori Hikaru's reckless actions.

However, Taketori Hikaru had his reasons.

The bamboo thief clan would go mad for no reason.

The bamboo-harvesting clan, with their own reasons, will only go even crazier.

Now, Hibiki Juzo has absolutely no confidence in controlling the situation.

“Taketori Hikaru, everything I said is true.”

"Xiu is inside, forging the second ninja sword of the Seven Ninja Swords of the Mist. He cannot be disturbed. If you insist on disturbing him, then I will have no choice but to be impolite."

"You can go inside."

"Step over my dead body!"

Pipa Juzo swung his guillotine with one hand, pointing it at Taketori Hikaru.

Despite being terrified, Arafune Er did not leave.

Instead, he also took a hammer and stood next to Pipa Juzo.

"Good! Good! Good!"

A palpable rage appeared on Taketori Hikaru's face, as if he were completely controlled by anger.

"In order to prevent our Bamboo Clan from obtaining the Forging Island, you not only fabricated such a clumsy excuse, but also displayed such an attitude. Do you really think our Bamboo Clan is easy to bully?"

"Loquat Juzo, you don't actually think I'm afraid of you, do you?"

"The Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, so what?"

"You can't even defeat a mere Konoha genin, yet you only dare to swagger around in the village?"

"In the ninja world, you have become a joke."

"It has also implicated our entire Hidden Mist Village."

"This is a disgrace to the village!"

"It's such a waste that the Seven Ninja Swords of Kirigakure are in your hands!"

"If the Konoha genin can kill you, I, Taketori Hikaru, can kill you too!"

“Since you want us to step over your corpse, then fine, we’ll step over your corpse. This decapitation sword is fit for me, Taketori Hikaru, to use.”

"It's definitely better in my hands than in yours!"

Taketori Hikaru took a step forward.

The atmosphere between the two was extremely tense, and it could explode at any moment.

Sudden.

"Crench!"

The door to the forging room opened.

Uehara Shu emerged from the forging room, holding a newly forged sword in his hands.

Silver sword hilt.

A delicate blue rose is carved on the whistle opening.

The sword hilt is wrapped in leather.

The hand guards are decorated with plant branches.

A chilling aura emanated from the blade of the Blue Rose Sword.

The air nearby seemed to be frozen.

Everyone's eyes turned to that direction.

The characters are different from those of Tongyi.

On the surface, Kiriichimonji doesn't seem to have anything particularly special about it.

Only by using it can you see the special effect of Kiriichimonji.

However, just by looking at the Blue Rose Sword, one can tell that this is not an ordinary ninja sword, but a ninja sword with special abilities, just like the Seven Ninja Swords of the Hidden Mist.

This intense, icy aura is like an Ice Release Kekkei Genkai.

Among the Seven Ninja Swords of the Hidden Mist, the Lightning Blade allows ninjas who cannot use Lightning Release to perform Lightning Release techniques.

In everyone's opinion, this Blue Rose Sword is very likely to enable ninjas who cannot use Ice Release to use it.

In that case, the value of the Blue Rose Sword would be even greater than that of the Thunder Blade.

Lightning Release is just a basic elemental ninjutsu.

It can use Ice Release, which is a bloodline limit.

This is equivalent to providing Kirigakure with a permanent ninja with an Ice Release Kekkei Genkai.

Pipa Juzo's face lit up with joy.

"Xiu, you succeeded?"

Uehara Osamu nodded.

Then the focus shifted to Taketori Hikaru and the others.

"Senior Juzo, what is this?"

Just then, a group of ANBU ninjas arrived at an extremely fast speed.

The leader of the Dark Division breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the two sides had not actually made a move. He immediately turned to Taketori Hikaru and said in a deep voice.

"Taketori Hikaru, Lord Mizukage has ordered you to come immediately."

Taketori Hikaru finally came to his senses and gave Uehara Osamu a deep look.

"understood."

Huangchuan Er looked up at Shangyuan Xiu, his eyes filled with even greater admiration.

As Taketori Hikaru headed towards the Mizukage Building, he forced himself to calm down and process the shock he had just experienced.

"I didn't expect it to be true!"

"And yet another blacksmith has emerged."

"Another ninja sword of the same level as the Seven Ninja Swords of the Mist has been forged."

Chapter 22 The Bamboo Cutter is an Uchiha from Kirigakure

"It seems that the Mizukage will definitely not give the Forging Island to my Bamboo Clan."

"However, it's not so easy to take advantage of the bamboo-harvesting clan."

"That ninja sword from earlier looked pretty good."

"Even if we lose the Forging Island, we should at least receive a ninja sword as compensation."

Hikaru Taketori arrived at the Mizukage Building.

"Mizukage-sama."

The Third Mizukage looked at Taketori Hikaru, his expression still calm, but the anger in his eyes was almost tangible.

"Hikaru Taketori, do you know what you've done?"

Taketori Hikaru glanced indifferently at the Third Mizukage.

"Lord Mizukage, I simply want to see what that young blacksmith, who can forge swords of the same caliber as the Seven Ninja Swords of Kirigakure, looks like. Also, I'd like to see our Kaguya clan's forging island."

"Lord Mizukage, since Forging Island belongs to our Kaguya clan, this young blacksmith should also be a member of our Kaguya clan, shouldn't he?"

The Third Mizukage interrupted Taketori Hikaru.

"This is impossible."

"Then at least give our Kaguya clan a ninja sword. We don't need much, just the one that the young blacksmith just forged will do. Mizukage-sama, is that alright?"

Upon hearing this news, the Third Mizukage was first taken aback, then overjoyed.

I was pleasantly surprised by Uehara Osamu's efficiency.

Kiriichimonji was only recently completed when Uehara Osamu forged a second ninja sword.

This is much faster than the Third Mizukage had originally hoped.

The Third Mizukage did not know what kind of ninja sword Uehara Osamu had forged.

However, the Third Mizukage knew about the Taketori clan.

The fact that Taketori Hikaru didn't ask for the Seven Ninja Swords of Kirigakure, but instead directly asked for the ninja sword that Hara Shu had just forged, proves that this ninja sword is likely superior to the Seven Ninja Swords of Kirigakure.

"No."
